Days Of Our Lives
Brandon Beemer Exits Days of our Lives
As revealed on Thursday’s episode of Days of our Lives on Peacock, another cast member is being written off the canvas. This time, it’s Brandon Beemer who had wrapped his most recent run as Shawn-Douglas Brady.
In story, realizing he really needs to get his life back on track, and the problems caused by his drinking problem, Shawn makes some arrangements via phone call, where his plans are revealed in later scenes.
However, after sleeping with Talia (Aketra Sevillian) and having that one-night stand, the two chat at the police station. She wants him to realize he is a great guy. Belle (Martha Madison) comes upon the two and after Talia makes her exit, she tells Shawn she wants to forgive him for the tryst so they can work on saving their marriage.
That’s when Shawn drops the bombshell. He has decided to leave Salem and check himself into a rehab center near where his father, Bo is receiving treatment.

Shawn is happy to hear that Belle wants to work on their marriage, but he won’t be in town to do that, and he shares he must do this alone. When Belle offers to put in a leave of absence to join him, Shawn tells Belle he needs to work on himself and his problems; if there is any chance at rebuilding their marriage in the future.
When Belle asks if Shawn will come home once he’s healed, he says he wants to do that more than anything. The duo known as “Shelle” share one last embrace.

Beemer took over the role of Bo (Peter Reckell) and Hope’s (Kristian Alfonso) son back in September of 2006 from Jason Cook, who had played the character since October of 1999. Throughout his run on DAYS, Brandon has returned for numerous long and short term story arcs.
Days of our Lives has written out numerous characters on recent episodes, which were taped around the end of March of this year including: Beemer, Aketra Sevillian, John-Paul Lavoisier (Phillip), and Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe).
So, sad to see Brandon Beemer depart Days of our Lives? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
Well, knowing Belle was already leaving, it’s not much of a shock that Shawn would also be written out. The only surprising thing is that they’re NOT leaving together.
I suppose it’s somewhat ironic that the so-called “Last Blast Gang” would all be leaving around the same time… even though Chloe is the only original member of that group still with the show.
Assuming this is all related to the Albert Alarr clusterphuck, they will probably all be back by early 2024. Possibly sooner than that, if my theory about Bo proves to be correct.
Hope Megan and Vivian do come back! Need sone drama in the show!
dont want brandon to leave he is great character and actor. now chole and phillip r leaving waht is goig on with days, why r they letting go popular characters, dont like vivian and dont like megan hope they dont come back
Will chloe Phillip Shawn and Belle ever come back to the show
Why are they getting rid of so many characters??
Messing up the show- big time!
Peacock is hemorraging money. The cast cuts are more than likely finance driven. Lots of talk these days about NBC/Universal being sold again, so enjoy Days in whatever form you can get it while it lasts.
Days is truly boring with all actors going away & THE NEW ONES SUCK
A few things, Bobbie: Like I said above, Peacock is losing money so it comes to no shock that they would let go of legacy characters who probably command a bigger salary to save money. Don’t be surprised if Days goes away should NBC Universal Discovery whatever it is, is sold in an acquisition.
Agree
Who will be his replacement?
I am going to miss this adorable man.
You are taking too may characters off. I liked the old Theresa better.
I agree with you
I’m going to miss him
You need a new Theresa. She is still the
Same carator anyway stop doing this.
Gwen / Teresa what the he’ll are the writers doing? Couldn’t stand watching Gwen, now we see her as Teresa! Get rid of her
I hate Gwen as Teresa bring back Jen Lilly she is the best Teresa.
Hey Jen Lilly wants to pursue other things like Kristen Alfonso and Allison Sweeney and Peter Reckell! It’s sad but things change. Life is what it is so try to embrace what characters we have and enjoy the show. Who knows maybe we will have a better year of surprises in 2024! Bring the new year in with a bang! We still have the Nicole walker and Eric Brady with baby issues
What’s going on with DAYS is really alarming. We’re invested in the legacy characters. Don’t care about teen angst and do not want to see more new faces. Although Maggie’s visitor may be a good move. Seems that LBQT stories are on the line as well. Where is Andrew? If Dimitri goes to prison? LIKE SANDS THROUGH the ⌛HOURGLASS , so are the GAYS of our Lives ️….. RICK DEMERIAKIS ✨.
Don’t like O’Brien as Theresa she sucks
He needs to come back him a Bell both. Watch since the beginning! Love the old characters!!!
Bring back dreamboat Jason “Cookie” Cook
I quit watching last time they wrote him out.. time to stop watching it again.
I hate to see him go. Not many Brady’s or Hortons left. Bring back Bo and Hope and Shawn. I’m loosing interest in the show. It was exciting when Bo and Hope was on. Shawn can find new love.
First off Sean DOUGLAS does need to get his self together, but BELL had some nerve when you slept around on him more than once. also, why did they have decide to have Gwen portray THERESA that was dumb, they should have cast another actress.
Sad to see Brandon leaving Days. Hope he comes back soon ❤️
Let him go and get himself together but PLEASE bring him and Belle back sooner than later. They are legacy characters. So over all these new characters.
A huge mistake to make Gwen the new Teresa, that just doesn’t sit well with me, Gwen was good @ playing Gwen she had a strong accent, nd then to put her in as Teresa. No good match there, should’ve replaced Teresa with a new blond blue eyed girl!!! She’s not doing a good job as Teresa. Bring back. Gwen
So sad to see him go.Hope he will return in yhe future.I guess this is how Belle will exit by following Sean.We will see Waiting to see when Gabi goes.Too many good people have left!!!!
That’s BS so what it boils down to is Harris got Sean’s job if I was Brandon I would say this is the last time you write me out it’s not the first time need to get signatures to bring him back just like Tony and Anna I guess Susan is leaving to
NBC killed Days Of Our Lives when they moved it to Peacock.
True.. it has been renewed through 2025.. however that will not change the fact that Days was finished the moment they moved it to Peacock.
That was simply bad business.
(Almost as silly as referring to their viewer’s as “Peacockers”)
It is only a matter of time before Days is finished for good.
Fear not.. General Hospital is still around and is far better than anything NBC/Peacock is peddling these “Days”.. lol
In fact.. GH has many familiar faces which previously appeared on DOOL..
Perhaps Mr. Beemer will find a new sudsy home in Port Charles along with the many other former residents of Salem.
Time will tell.
You need to get this back on NBC so we can ALL watch again!
AMEN to that I looked forward to seeing it everyday on NBC
Brandon B will be back he always comes back great actor and a consumate performer
I hope,& assume that SHAWN will be back, since he is a BRADY, after all, but I am sad to se DAYS DO THIS TI BELLE, SHAWN & PHILLIP, BUT I GUESS THIS IS BETTER THAN A TYPICAL SOAPS alternative, a love triangle, or people coming up dead
I don’t think turning “Gwen into Theresa” was a bad move, we know Jen was only on for a few weeks. So, where’s Gwen? A new choice would e more acceptable. Not liking this sit.
Brokenhearted
He could be the new Lucas on GH if we can’t get JP
Since changing to peacock I think they lost viewers
Yes I was watching it when it was on cable. I watched it for years with my grandma-mom. I WISH THEY WOULD GO BACK TO CABLE
Why?? Bring back Bo and Hope. Keep Belle, Shawn, Phillip, & Cloe. If you have to get rid of anyone make it Marlana and John and his dad.
I’ve been a DOOL fan for over 50 yrs and I’m not happy that we lose wonderful characters like Belle, Shawn, Chloe and Phillip who have been a major part of the overall story since childhood. Characters like VIvian and Megan should have stayed gone forever. DOOL has gone off the rails completely and needs to come back to the basics of family that Ted & Betty Corday had from the beginning. I don’t like Emily Obrien as Theresa. If Jen Lilly could play Thetesa then just write her off for the time being. DOOL has turned its back on super couples. You don’t see much of Roman/Kate, Steve/Kayla and above John/Marlena. I’m tired of everybody trying to kill each other off for company control instead of treating each other like family.
Not happy with the leaving of great people
I think it stupid bringing Gwen back as Teresa she looks so silly getting rid of everyone is not the right thing I enjoy my people for years don’t care for the new ones at all
I am losing interest in this show, all the good actors are leaving and recasting the same character as another one. Getting bored.
He would’ve been a solid Nathan recast on General Hospital had they not killed the role off.
I would have fun watching Days just to watch him, when I saw his pic it was crazy LOL good to know he wasn’t a wimp because that would have ruined everything lol
WHOA..I never watched Days–but–that guy looks like my man, crazy stuff….
the part he plays was he a he-man and sexy??

‘Brilliant Minds’ Officially Canceled After 2 Seasons at NBC; DAYS Alum Al Calderon, OLTL Alum Teddy Sears and Zachary Quinto Among the Cast
After languishing on the bubble for months, on Friday, NBC handed down the decision and canceled the medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons.
Brilliant Minds stars Zachary Quinto as neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
The final six episodes of what will now be the end of its second and final season were already set to air beginning on May 27, after being pulled off the network schedule in February as viewership saw a steep decline. Brilliant Minds second season became the lowest-rated drama on linear TV viewing, which didn’t bode well fo a network renewal, although it had its hard core fan base.

There are some exceptional notables in the cast along with the talented Quinto that includes Days of Our Lives alum, Al Calderon (ex-Javi Hernandez) who joined the series in its second season as Nurse Nico Silva, and One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) who plays Wolf’s love interest and fellow physician, Dr. Josh Nichols.
The rest of the talented cast includes: Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, and Brian Altemus.
In an ironic twist of fate on Thursday, April 30, Days of Our Lives finally revealed the actor who was Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Javi, when they announced that actor Jacob Martinez had now stepped into the role. Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming new episode, Calderon left in the spring of 2025, but will be seen in the part for the final part this month, and then on June 20, Martinez debuts as Salem’s new Javi.
Taking to his Instagram with a sorrowful and heartfelt post on the Brilliant Minds cancellation was Teddy Sears who wrote, “Thank you, Brilliant Minds. I got the call today and I didn’t want to hear, but I knew that it would come, You have to be a particular vintage to quote Don Henley from memory, but that’s the line that came to mind earlier today after I got off the phone with our inimitable showrunner Michael Grassi who delivered the news that NBC has cancelled the series”.

Sears continued, “To say that I feel sad to be moving on from these stories, this character, and this cast and crew just doesn’t paint the entire picture. I’m sad, sure. But I’m also deeply grateful that I got hired to play this part, so proud of the stories we told, and the other actors I got to play alongside. I’m excited to see what comes next, what adventures await, and terrified to be without a professional home. A quick and heartfelt thank you to everyone, all over the globe, who found us and found themselves in us, in our characters and in our stories. We wouldn’t have been able to tell them without you. And we still have 6 fresh episodes yet to air, and I do hope you tune in enjoy the remainder of the series. They’re the best we’ve done.”
As he wrapped up his sentiments, Sears signed off with, “The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I figured out I have to learn again. I’ve been trying to get down to the heart of the matter. But everything changes…Thank you, Brilliant Minds.”
The medical drama was created and executive produced by Michael Grassi alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.

Jacob Martinez is ‘Days of Our Lives’ New Javi Hernandez Replacing Al Calderon in the Role
Finally! The casting has been revealed as to just who would be Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Days of our Lives, Javi Hernandez. On Friday, April 30, the long-running soap opera revealed Jacob Martinez is taking on the part and he will first be seen this coming June 30th and then on all-new episodes streaming on Peacock.
As previously reported, the popular Calderon exited the soap opera last year to join the cast of the NBC primetime medical drama, Brilliant Minds as nurse Nico Silva, who in May will air the remainder of their second season. The series has been on the bubble for renewal by the network. His last episodes as Javi will also air this May on DAYS.
Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming, Martinez has been secretly ensconced in all the drama in Salem for quite some time. When viewers see the new Javi in story, we should learn what will happen in Javi’s relationship with Leo Stark played by Emmy winner, Greg Rikaart, plus his continued relationship with his relatives in the Hernandez clan. Currently, when Javi returned to Salem after taking care of his ailing father, and after the bust-up of his marriage to Leo thanks to Dimitri (Peter Porte), he claimed he had moved on with someone else while he was away from Salem.

Like Calderon before him, Martinez is a multi-talented actor and singer. Jacob’s resume is impressive having appeared in the musical In Pieces: The Musical at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater and he was hand-picked by Joey Contreras to play the role of Grey. Other credits include: the short film, Memory Swim and the play Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage.
Martinez hails from Norfolk, Nebraska and appeared when he was very young at the Johnny Carson Theatre, and as DAYS fans know, Jacob is now working at the Days of our Lives studios, right where the “Tonight Show” is filled. In addition, Jacob Martinez is a graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA).
Taking to his Instagram on Thursday, April 30 once the news of his casting was revealed, Martinez, expressed, “Way too many people to thank in one post, so I’ll just say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART to each and every person who continues to pour into me and encourage me to chase my dreams. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am. I already feel beyond blessed, supported, and loved. See you all in Salem ⏳”
Jacob Martinez appeared on Friday on the Days of our Lives Instagram account announcing his casting. You can check it out below. Deadline was the first to report the casting switch.
