So Long, Stefan: Brandon Barash Bids Farewell to Salem (Again)

Title Card for Days of Our Lives Peacock

Brandon Barash has officially confirmed his departure from Days of Our Lives, and let’s just say, it wasn’t a mutual breakup. In a recent interview with soaps.com, Barash revealed he was unexpectedly fired mid-contract, calling the news a “gut punch.”

This is actually Barash’s second time being let go from the show, so his disappointment is understandable. He even expressed a lack of trust in the Days team, making a future return seem unlikely.

This news is especially heartbreaking for “Stabi” fans, as Stefan and Gabi seemed poised for a reunion just before his sudden exit. It appears Vivian, in all her scheming glory, has orchestrated Stefan’s disappearance, leaving Gabi in Salem without her true love. What’s next for Gabi now that Stefan is gone (again)?
