The week of January 15, 2018
Time to say goodbye to two big Salem players. Kyler Pettis exits the show on Wednesday, January 17, when Theo says goodbye to his family and friends and heads to South Africa for an experimental medical trial. Pettis joined the soap in 2015. Word is the character will eventually be recast.

Although she gave birth to her second child, son Viggo Sebastian, on September 1, 2017, Nadia Bjorlin’s maternity leave is just about to begin on screen, due to the soap’s advanced taping schedule.

Look for Bjorlin to make her last appearance as Chloe on Friday, January 19, in sweet scenes with Bryan Dattilo (Lucas).

Days of our Lives (DOOL) airs weekdays on NBC. Check your local listings for air times.
