Days of our lives coming and going

Who’s coming and who’s going from Days of our Lives? Here’s the latest casting news from the NBC soap.

Martha Madison departs as Belle on Monday, September 12. Look for her character to head to Hong Kong to oversee DiMera Enterprises business. The actress, however, will be returning to the soap.

Where Belle goes, Shawn usually follows. Brandon Beemer also exits the show this week. And, like Madison, he is scheduled to return to DAYS at a later date.

Paolo Andino portrays the priest slated to preside over Brady and Theresa’s ill-fated nuptials.
