DOOL Spoilers: Gabi Hernandez-DiMera Recast

After Banus left the show, Gabi was brought back from prison but with a new face. Cherie took over the role. Right after Gabi was released from prison, fans thought they would see STABI sizzle again.

However, right off the bat, Gabi and Stefan were divided over a fling with Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun). A drunken fling that led to Gabi sleeping with EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel).

Stefan DiMera Exits

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) comes back during the week of October 28, 2024. Vivian will scheme with Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier).

However, Vivian will also block Stefan and Gabi from meeting each other. So, maybe Vivian has something to do with Stefan’s exit.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Actor’s Heartbreaking Confession

In an interview with She Knows Soaps, Barash gave this heartbreaking confession:

“I knew exactly what was happening as soon as I was called up to [the boss’] office. And she said, ‘Look, this is not my doing. I don’t like it. And this is no reflection on you or your abilities. You’re very talented. We know your work ethic is very high, but it’s just where we’re deciding to take the character.’”

Barash explained that he was in the middle of his contract. However, it was the writers’ decision to have Stefan exit.

Barash was called to co-executive producer Janet Spellman-Drucker’s office after filming a hospital scene with Gabi.

“This is the second time this has happened to me on Days of Our Lives. And, you know, it would have to be very, very right. The terms would have to be right. The story would have to be right. The contract would have to be right. And I would have to be able to trust them. And I’ve lost that. I’ve lost that ability to trust that team, quite frankly.”

Stefan’s last scene will air on Monday, October 28, 2024. What do you think of the soap firing Barash once again? What does this mean for Gabi’s future?
