Here is the latest casting news from all five daytime dramas: The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, and Beyond the Gates.
Days of our Lives Casting
In a surprise move, Michael Roark is exiting DAYS as Jeremy Horton. The actor, who was in the middle of a front-burner plot with Abigail Klein’s Stephanie, was named Performer of the Month in March for his powerful work. Roark made his debut as Mike (Roark Critchlow) and Robin’s (Derya Ruggles) son in October 2025, resurrecting the character previously portrayed by Trevor Donovan in 2007. He makes his last appearance on Wednesday, April 29.
Xander (Paul Telfer) and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) have a new, slightly older onscreen daughter. Angelica Nero has taken over the role of Victoria Kiriakis. The young actress made her debut last Friday. A child prodigy and internet personality, Nero is known for her performances on the violin, piano, and vocals. She went viral on social media for her covers of The Beatles, Adele, Celine Dion, and Katy Perry.

The actress, who’s expecting her first child with husband Mark Bauch, is currently off on maternity leave. (Brewer announced the happy news on Valentine’s Day.) She made her last appearance on April 24. The door, however, has been left open for Brewer’s return.
