On Tuesday’s December 20th episode of NBC’s Days of our Lives, John-Paul Lavoisier will exit the show as Phillip Kiriakis. Although the news that the actor had been written-off surfaced months ago, his on-air wrap up airs today.
On yesterday’s episode, Phillip, after being drugged by Deimos (Vincent Irizarry) and surviving it, asks Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin) to come away with him and they will start a new life together. Chloe says though she cares for him … she’s not in love with him. Phillip understands and tells Chloe that if she ever needs him, he will come back to Salem for her.
Now, Phillip will have a chance to have it out with his Uncle Deimos before he exits Salem!
As for Lavoisier, he will be seen in the upcoming online series, Ladies of the Lake. Of course, OLTL fans remember his work fondly as Rex Balsom,a role he played for ten years from 2002-2012.
Lavoisier’s DAYS cast mate, A Martinez (Eduardo) played tribute to JP via social media relating: “Today, Tuesday, the wonderful John Paul Lavoisier takes leave of Salem – for now. #DOOL #ClassAct #ProsPro #likenobodyelse“
So, are you sad to see Phillip and JP exit the Salem canvas? Share your thoughts below.

‘Heated Rivalry’ Star Franco LoPresti Opens Up About ‘Days of our Lives’ Debut as Dante Vitali
Next week on Monday, September 14 will mark the first appearance in Salem of Franco LoPresti in his new Days of our Lives role of Dante Vitali.
Heated Rivalry fans now LoPresti very well from his part as hockey player Cliff Marleau in the series first season. (No word yet if Cliff appears in season 2).
Now in a conversation with TV Insider, DAYS fans will learn that LoPresti is on the soap for a limited run. No timetable was given.

When LoPresti does burst onto the scene come Monday, Dante makes quite the impact as Franco LoPresti explains. It seems that viewers will first see him in scenes in Monte Carlo at a poker table with none other than Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier). However, Dante will come to Salem to talk to the Brady family about his supposed fiancée Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney).
Franco shared, “Dante was born and grew up in Italy and educated at this pretty top-tier English boarding school. He then went on to build his own dynasty in finance, all the while trying to distance himself from the Vitali name (as viewers know Tamara Braun played his cousin Ava Vitali).”
“But at the core of Dante, there’s definitely an old-school quality to him”, continued LoPresti. “He’s super passionate, he’s sincere and incredibly generous, but he’s also someone that you probably shouldn’t underestimate. Loyalty is something that means a lot to him. As Dante enters Salem, I think the audience will get to slowly peel back those layers and discover what’s really driving him. So, I’m excited for Days fans to go on that ride with Dante.”

As it turns out, LoPresti taped his episodes of DAYS starting back in November 2025 which happened to be weeks before Heated Rivalry became a smash hit.
Franco recalled, “It’s so funny because I thought my episodes would air in a month (on Days of our Lives). But I found out it was nine to 10 months and I was like, ‘I gotta wait that long?!’ So, I’ve been biting my nails, trying not to think about it, and I think it’s actually kind of helped because now it’s here and it’s all coming at me from all different angles. I’m nervous. I’m excited, and I just can’t wait to see it all come together. It’s one of the best jobs I’ve ever had for sure.”
In his personal life, Franco just had his first child with wife, actress Emily Alatalo, just a weeks ago on August 23rd when they welcomed their daughter, Stella into the world.
So, looking forward to seeing Franco LoPresti’s debut come Monday? What do you think about the fact that it’s being reported as a limited run? Do you think Dante and Sami have a chance on-screen or off-screen to be a happy couple? What do you really think brings Dante to Salem sans Sami? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
In a metaphor for the start of the school year and their upcoming anniversary in November, Days of our Lives revealed its “Class of Season 62,” with a very clever yearbook montage on their social media handles, welcoming new cast members, while paying respect to the veterans and “class”-iying the other characters in Salem.
The official Days of our Lives Instagram account shared on the posting, “The Class of Salem Season 62 has arrived. Familiar faces, new names and plenty of personality. Flip through our yearbook for a peek at this year’s class.”
Let’s take a look at how they broke it all down: The Salem Yearbook starts with saying “another unforgettable season,” with some group pics, and then we dovetail into Salem’s new class which features: Sydney Malakeh (Sydney DiMera), Brandon Butler (Mason Whitfield), Angelica Nero (Victoria Kiriakis), Cole Gersmeyer (Thomas DiMera) and Lorelei Olivia Mote (Rachel Black).

Next up, are the likes of: Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez), John-Paul Lavoisier (Philip Kiriakis), Tyler Joseph Andrews (Theo Carver) and LeeAnn Hopkins (Joy Wesley). Then, in the “Drama Club” section are: Dan Feuerriegel (EJ DiMera) and AnnaLynne Cipriani (Cat Greene).
Following the ‘Recess” section with some group snaps, comes “Homeroom Highlights” with: Abigail Klein (Stephanie Johnson), Eric Martsolf (Brady Black), Rob Scott Wilson (Alex Kiriakis), Lamon Archey (Eli Grant) and Sal Stowers (Lani Price Grant).
The “Salem Spectator” section features: Conner Floyd (Chad DiMera), Greg Rikaart (Leo Stark), Stowers again, and Ashely Puzemis (Holly Jonas). In the “Afternoon Sweets” section look for: Paul Telfer (Xander Kiriakis) and Linsey Godfey (Sarah Horton), Emily O’ Brien (Gwen Rizchech), Stacy Haiduk (Kristen DiMera/Susan Banks), Brandon Beemer (Shawn Brady), plus Jackée Harry (Paulina Price).
Towards the end of the yearbook, veteran performers such as: Mary Beth Evans (Kayla Johnson), Stephen Nichols (Steve Johnson), Lauren Koslow (Kate Roberts) and Josh Taylor (Roman Brady) are featured, plus Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans), James Reynolds (Abe Carver) and Matthew Ashford (Jack Deveraux), Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie Williams) and Suzanne Rogers (Maggie Kiraikis) with her on-screen daughter, Linsey Godfrey.
The Salem Yearbook comes to a conclusion noting “Big things happening in Salem” and to tune-in on Peacock, where we also find Jacob Martinez (Javi Hernandez), Maggie Carney (Rita Lesley), and a host of other favorites previewing what’s to come this fall.
So, what do you think of the Days of our Lives Class of Season 62? Looking forward to seeing what happens in Salem? Did you like the yearbook concept for promotional tune-in? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘Days of our Lives’ Head Writers Give Fall 2026 Preview: Marlena and Stefano’s Chess Mystery, The Arrivals of Dante and Sydney, Romance Drama for Sarah and Others
As summer comes to a close with Labor Day weekend, the former Days of our Lives co-head writing duo of Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford have given their annual fall season preview in episodes taped some 10-11 months ago.
As previously reported this past July, Ryan Quan returned to Days of our Lives and is now co-head writing the show with Ford, while Cwikly is now a consultant. The new co-head writing teams stories will not be seen till late spring/early summer 2027.
So for now, the stories pick up from where we left off with Cwikly and Ford promising via TV Insider, “Fall in Salem is full of twists and turns and secrets and surprises. Dots connect in unexpected ways as seemingly unrelated threads converge.”

CHECKMATE?
In one of the top mystery’s, Marlena is still having troubling memories and she will have another one on the Monday, September 7 episode. Meanwhile, her daughter Belle (Martha Madison) has gotten very close to Chad DiMera (Conner Floyd) and as pictured here, the two smooch while in Italy searching for answers to the chess set that Stefano DiMera gifted th the late John Black and Marlena (Deidre Hall) that has some significance.
The head scribes share, “The (chess board) mystery and its fallout are central to the fall stories. Chad and Belle follow the clues to a discovery that changes both of their families, and Salem, forever. Marlena worries that their investigation/the chess set may be a Pandora’s box that has been opened. And she is right…”
Newcomers are also the order of the day for Cwikly and Ford, this fall. We have already seen the debut as Brandon Butler as Mason Whitfield, and next week you can add as previously reported Sydney Malakeh on the Thursday September 1o episode as Sydney DiMera, followed by the the Monday, September 14 arrival of Franco LoPresti as Dante Vitali.

Paula and Jeanne Marie expressed on the incoming Dante, “The arrival of a stranger who will set the whole town on its ear. The character has several strong ties to the current canvas and impacts many storylines.” What will Dante be up to? We know Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) had mentioned in 2025 she got engaged to the man, but that was off-screen.
LOVE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH OR THE ONE YOU WANT?
In the romance department, the triangle between Brady/Sarah/Xander heats up with a very conflicted Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). The head writers reveal, “When Sarah faces attacks personally and professionally, Xander (Paul Telfer) and Brady (Eric Martsolf) work together to help and protect her. Sarah’s new love for Brady is challenged by her lingering love for Xander. Xander risks everything for Sarah.”
In addition look for, “Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) and Philip (John-Paul Lavoiser) to draw closer as he tries to save the family company and home.”
Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) will also be returning at some point this fall and she won’t be alone. Who might she bring with her? And from the looks of the Peacock promo for next week’s DAYS, someone is wearing Stefano’s ring around their finger, but who … and how does it all tie in this fall?
So, what do you think about some of the highlights coming up this fall on Days of our Lives per the series head writers? Does anything float your boat or pique your interest? If so, what? Let us know via the comment section. But first, check out the action next week on DAYS in the promo entitled “Bag of Tricks” below.

Sorry this did not work out. Always liked the actor on OLTL. Seems DAYS has trouble with integrating new characters for these fan favorites. I hope the ship can be righted so we can balance the legacy and consistency of the serial with the new directions these fresh faces to Salem are created to travel.
Agreed Iakovos. It’s not only sad , but also, irritating how many of our outstandingly superlative faves have opened the door to Salem, only to exit with their tails tucked between their legs,( metaphorically speaking).
As yourself, I have always adored John-Paul. Godspeed!!
Wish they keep John Paul. He so hot and sexy awesome. Philip too ….
I’m going to miss Paul. Not so much, Philip.
I was very excited when I learned that John Paul was joining Days. I loved him as Rex on One Life to Live. Unfortunately, Days failed to give him anything meaningful to do.
Thank you for your effort John Paul and I wish you very much success in the future.
Looking forward to Anna Dimera returning to Days. January 9 is Leann Hunley first airdate. Welcome Back Leann. John Paul is a terrific actor, but was miscast as Phillip. Loved him on OLTL as Rex. Please Days bring back my madam, Vivian Alamain. I love louise Sorel she is a wonderful actress.
Hi, Claudio,
Oh, my gosh….I was not aware Anna was returning. I love, love, love her. I never got enough of her. She is en par with Vivian.
I’m with you….I would love to have her back, as well. I really get a kick out of Vivian. The ‘baddest’, most wonderful character/actress, in my estimation.
For now, Leann will have to do….sooo exciting!!
Hi, Celia, yes looking forward to Anna Dimera. Leann Hunley is a wonderful actress. my madam Vivian Alamain hopefully will be back very soon. I also love Hattie played by Deidre Hall. She is so funny lol, calling Roman Brady MR Roman.
@Claudio ; @Celia.
ie: this is a thread ( copy and paste ) it’s from a TV Guide interview with Louise Sorel….
Our Madam: Exclusive: Louise Sorel Exits Days of Our Lives
by Michael Logan | Jun 2, 2011 4:01 PM EDT
I remember reading this… and she clearly said… she’d never return. argh! I can’t not agree… as much as I LOVE HER TO BITS TOO.
here’s just an excerpt
excellent read… just like the divine actor and character.
TV Guide Magazine: Perhaps you’re better off not knowing why this happened.
Sorel: I don’t know if it matters at this point. What if I did know the reason? Then what? At one point, one of the actresses on Days was told she was interfering with the ratings and hurting the show, so certain things were not being written for her. Who needs to hear that? Listen, actors are by nature gypsies. We pick up and move on. I realize in the long run that I’ll look back on this and it’ll just be one of those things. I would never go back to Days after this, even though Gary said, “You might be back someday.” I just can’t do it. I love the character. I love the people I’m working with. But I can’t deal with it anymore.
for all it’s worth…. Louise Sorel… just by being present… brings about giddy… high brow … FUN… feisty… clever… wit to no end.
Claudio … thank you for the footnote… on when the delicious Anna Devane RETURN.
that should read
OUR Madam ( copy and paste – thread )
Exclusive: Louise Sorel Exits Days of Our Lives
by Michael Logan | Jun 2, 2011 4:01 PM EDT
PS: DAYS… when the light fades… in to the annuls of suds
MUST bring back…. Louise Sorel.
argh… dolt unmomento
Anna DiMera : January 9, 2017
YES
@Patrick.
Thanks, Patrick. I had no idea. The excerpt is very ‘opaque’; so, we can’t really discern its ‘nature’, but it is very telling that something did go on behind the scenes. It just wasn’t really talked about, am I right?…..By the same token, it sounds similar to Michael Muhney’s ‘ordeal’….except, that is a different ballgame, different players.
Lord only knows, eh? As, I’m sure, Cllaudio is, I am very disappointed. I love these types of characters and their ilk….also, Kristen DiMera, Faison and Dr. O. These actors are brilliant, and the characters they play shine a light on stage.
Now I will break out the booze lol. I am devasted now, I will never see my madam Vivian on Days again. Ok I will try to get over it. It will be hard Celia. I love dr. o on Gh. The lady can sing. I remember when she sang Peggy Lee classic is all that there is to love. The lady is talented. Patrick thank you so much, in telling us the news about Louise Sorel. Celia and I are updated. Merry Christmas too you Celia and to Patrick .
Thank you, Claudio…..
Joyous Christmas to you, as well, and a healthy New Year.
Anna (LeAnn Hunley) will be returning to with both Carrie and Austin in tow.
I want this ready made family so much. Roman acts ! I could truly see a reconciliation with the bombshell that is the one and only, Anna. Carrie is the new reigning Brady heroine. Rafe is excitable. They were magic. Im even ready to welcome Austin the man. A readymade family with so much tour de force. The best
They should rehire him back
I hate to say it but his character added zippo to the show – I am sure he is a very proficient actor, I am not saying otherwise. The writing on this show is so terribly lame it would be difficult for any actor to breathe life into these inane, monotonous scripts. The writing team at Days of our Lives must think we are still trapped in 1985 with these stale storylines.
They could really “rev things up” and be innovative with Paul, Sonny and Derrick, but no no, they probably won’t – instead we will have New Abby groaning and whining for the umpteenth time that she can’t let Chad know she’s still alive…..Yawn….
He was never right for the role.
Well, I’ve always been disappointed that J Kenneth wasn’t brought back even though I like JP. He’s done a great job despite little help from the writers/producers concerning his story. Such a waste of a talented actor & a Kiriakis character. Always liked Philip & Chloe so riding off together would have been sweet. Too many characters at Days playing background dancer to everyone else’s story.
They gave him nothing to do. Not one thing. He came in with the the Belle Sean Phillip Triangle, take 16,824,752. Imagine the surprise when that played out storyline went nowhere.
Phillip never interacted with characters not named Sean Belle Chloe or Kate. It was sad.
DOOL stockpiles talented actors and then gives them literally nothing to do. I can’t imagine this will change while Corday continues to control the destiny of this beloved and rudderless show
I was shocked today. I did not know he was written off. Yes I am very sad to see him leave. He was very attractive to watch everyday. Lol. Seriously, if a better script was written for Phillip, maybe he could have stayed on longer. I will miss him.
I was not a One Life to Live fan, but I always did enjoy John-Paul Lavoisier’s work, so when I heard of his hiring at Days of Our Lives last year in the role of Phillip Kiriakis, I was over the moon excited! And, I can say, he absolutely KILLED it in the role! He really did excel as Phillip and I truly feel it was the storylines he was put into really dictated the exit of Lavoisier. To me, he was and still is, the best Phillip that the soap has had, and should they choose to bring the role back, they welcome him back into the cast, as well. I never understood the hate for him or his portrayal of the role.
I would love to see another soap pick him up! Maybe General Hospital, either in a recast of a previous role, or in a newly-created role that would suit him.
Good luck to you! Hate to see you go. Saw 12-20-16 today episode to. S.
Philip is a legacy character & should be in Salem. I don’t understand why they’re writing him out, especially with Victor retiring. He should be the one running the company, instead of Deimos. They could have written a great storyline with Philip battling Deimos for control. And maybe Brady could have helped Philip. That would give him something to do besides mope around moaning for Theresa.
Sadly, they choose to get rid of great characters like Philip & they keep losers like Joey, Jade & JJ.
I thought he grew into the part. I am very sorry to see him go. If they give him good story, he will do it. Sexy but has acting talent. Hope they regret letting him go and bring him back.
He was the right man to play Phillip. I’ve been pissed about his firing for months now. Why did they bother bringing the character back if they were going to let him go faster than when they brought him back? Makes no sense to me.
Unfortunately, he fell victim of storyline and change of regime. I think Phillip’s return was a bit more on the side of Josh Griffiths, than it was from Dena Higley. And then, working with Ryan Quan, it’s clear the canvas was no longer fitting for him.
Love to see OLTL alums getting work. Love Philip Kiriakis. But this was an odd actor/character combination that never clicked for me. Jay Johnson casts a long shadow.
He could had been a good Philip but the writers failed to write for him and make the character his own
Maybe if hey bring back OLTL he can go back.
John is a very good actor and I’m really sad to see him leave Days.
SAYONARA…AND DON’T COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!
Great actor, I surely remember John Paul from OLTL. If GH smartens up, they will snatch him up as a regular. Have missed seeing him since the OL days – loved the storyline of Rex and Gigi. Unforgettable…love his energy.
I will miss Philip.. he is a very good actor and he is sexy.He played his part well with a lot of emotion..
He grew on me, but there is only one Phillip, JAY KENNETH JOHNSON!! They need to bring him back!! i met him in 2010 at the 45th Anniversary of DAYS! A real nice man!
I think John Paul is a fine actor, and he did a good job playing Phillip, but because I was so fond of Jay Kenneth Johnson in the role, it was hard to accept John Paul as Phillip. I wish that Jay would come back. Days could use him. He had good chemistry with everyone, and could be good and bad at the same time. I look forward to seeing John Paul in his other roles as he has a lot of talent. I always think recasts are hard for the actors if someone before them had the role for awhile because we have become attached to the former actor. Best of luck to John Paul!
If Days stays true to form he’ll be back through the revolving door in 8 – 12 months. Just ask Camila Banus, Greg Vaugahn, Freddie Smith, Daniel Cosgrove, Nadia Bjorlin, Brandon Beemer, Martha Madison, Kassie DePaiva, Christie Clark, Austin Peck, et al.
Camila Banus, just to justify, LEFT the soap, as did Freddie Smith. They are the only ones, out of the ones you’ve listed, that were not fired from their positions at the soap. So, their leaving was their own decision, as was their returns, as well!
He could have been great in the role if the writing had been better. I hope the powers that be bring him back again as they are doing with Greg Vaughn. JP can light up the screen if given half a chance.
Always wanted Jay Kenneth Johnson back as Philip, but I think that no matter who plays Philip the writers need to remember that Philip’s character lost his leg. I could never get past that. That just never made him Philip to me.
I really think that John-Paul Lavoisier would have made a WONDERFUL re-cast for the character of Dillon Quartermaine on General Hospital!
I am deeply saddened that we are losing a great actor and character , John Paul. Lavoisier. I hope at some poin th Cloe will call him back to Salem and he’ll accept. I will miss him dearly and wish him all the best.
Should have been Irrizarry (Deimos) who was ushered out the door. He is no ratings boast to Days, his character is overly propped to no avail unless you enjoy seeing Days history distorted!
Jaime…EXACTLY!!!!! The final straw (for me) was when he drugged Maggie!!!!! BEYOND DESPICABLE!!!!!
Happy Holidays, Jaime.
The greatest disservice to any actor is to be cast in the wrong role. JP is a strong actor who knows how to deliver his lines. However, weak writing brought about his early demise on Days. Scripts are so sporadic lately, for the most part. Then, the Chabby reveal has been taken to new levels of frustration for viewers. We all know what’s coming next, And why bring back such a weak character as Lani? Viewers were happy to see her leave, and now she’s back??? Why make her the unknown woman JJ had a one nighter with in Miami? Pretty transparent writing! Better get some good writers on this or Days will soon go the way of so many other daytime drama shows. With all the commercials they must be making some big $$$! Spend more on good writers. The actors and viewers deserve it.
I feel a little dumb here (well I haven’t yet watched today’s show actually) but I didn’t quite put 2 and 2 together in order to realize that the “mysterious gal” that JJ was “with” in Miami was Lani –
The writing on this show – holy toledo – it is truly lame. The only storyline that has been presented in a somewhat realistic light has been the current breast cancer (stage II) arc – at least they have tried to make it somewhat believable. The actors on this show are fine, some perhaps more proficient than others, but the writing team needs to look at the calander on the wall and realize it is not 1983 anymore –
For example, let’s see – Nicole flies to Chicago (which means she went to set #3 that looks exactly like Salem) and her friends warn her “it might be snowing there be careful!” —so any Soap nut KNOWS that she will get of course stuck with what’s her name and will have to help deliver the baby…..and then of course find out that she’s the true mother…uh huh…yeah….okay….that’s only been done to death since ice covered the Earth.
The writers need to tackle some more topical storylines…..
For 2017, here is a few ideas I would love to see. Bring back Jay Kenneth Johnson. Give Shawn a storyline. He is too good looking of a guy to be sitting around a police department. I am looking forward to the Eli/Valerie/Julie storyline. The return of Anna DiMera is thrilling as long as they do not make make her a ding bat that decides she misses Tony so much that she falls for Andre. I would love to see a new David Banning, a love interest for Kate and/or Anna. Anna and Kate could be a GREAT rivalry. I LOVE Marci Miller in the role of Abigail. Camilla Banus is so good when she is given a storyline. Please bring in a sibling for Sonny. Let him be a drug addict and see a real storyline of Sonny helping him through it. Give Hope a new storyline that doesn’t rehash the past. Her entire existence has been Bo, Aiden and Stefano for years. I am not sure Rafe is the answer. Lets see more Nicole and Maggie in the new year. Please hire Colleen Zenk as a new character that shakes things up in Salem. She is too beautiful not to be on our televisions every day.
He was at his best as Rex on OLTL. Loved the scenes with Rex and Bo. Wish by some miracle OLTL could come back.
Whoever has made the decision to get rid of John Paul Lavoisier, has made a HUGE MISTAKE!! He was interesting to watch and hands down, the very best Philip of all!! Will miss him! Maybe Days will come to their senses and get him back!!
