Here’s a list of the top exit and entrance news from all four daytime dramas. Find out if any of your favorite performers from yesteryear are returning to the shows you follow, or if any new actors or actresses have been cast in contract, recurring, or day-player roles.

General Hospital

It’s a blast from the past for General Hospital fans. Rena Sofer returns to the soap as Lois Cerullo on Tuesday, October 10, the role she initially began playing in 1993 and that earned her a Daytime Emmy as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 1995. She’ll immediately interact with Amanda Setton’s Brook Lynn Quartermaine, Jane Elliot’s Tracy Quartermaine, Lisa LoCicero’s Olivia Quartermaine, and Wally Kurth’s Ned Quartermaine/Eddie Maine.

Bonnie Burroughs is out as Gladys Corbin. Burroughs, who was initially hired for a short-term appearance on the soap, ended up staying for four years.

Also exiting the show is Lauren Swickard, the real-life wife of Josh Swickard who plays Harrison Chase, who has wrapped up her run as Ferncliff nurse Janice. Meanwhile, Darin Toonder has completed his stint as the dastardly Dr. Montague.

It’s been a while since Bradford Anderson has been on the canvas as Damian Spinelli. Look for the character to pop up on the canvas this week. 

Days of our Lives

A beloved heroine is leaving Days of our Lives. Nadia Bjorlin has wrapped up her latest run as Chloe Lane. Look for her character to exit Salem and move to New York with John-Paul Lavoisier’s Philip Kiriakis, this week. Bjorlin originated the role of Chloe in 1999.

A few more weeks;) Already shot my first episode back,” the actress shared on Twitter/X. Chelsea and her son Connor (Judah Mackey) left town in August to live with Chelsea’s mother, Anita Lawson (Catherine Bach).
