Here’s the latest casting news from the NBC soap.

The week of July 24, 2017
Jordi Vilasuso finally confirmed his rumored exit as Dario. “I’ve been wanting to speak on this for a while, but out of respect and love for the show I’ve stayed quiet,” posted the actor on Instagram, noting that the soap “brought me so much joy” and that everyone associated with it has “been such pleasure to work for and with.” Vilasuso debuted on the soap in 2016.
