Days of our Lives has made the decision to let-go of Jordi Vilasuso, who has played Dario Hernandez on the NBC daytime drama series.
In a heartfelt message to his followers, fans, DAYS colleagues and co-stars, Jordi posted: “Yes, it’s true- my Days are numbered. I’ve been wanting to speak on this for awhile but out of respect and love for the show I’ve stayed quiet. @nbcdays has brought me so much joy! NBC, Sony, Ken Corday @gregmeng , Albert Alarr, and the entire crew who make this show possible have all been such pleasure to work for and with.
Although I wish Dario would have gone in a different direction, being a part of the Hernandez family was one of the best parts of the gig thanks to @abonemartinez , @ggering, and @camilabanus. Mi familia always took me on a rollercoaster of belly hurting laughter and tears that I would look forward to whenever I got the opportunity to mix it up with them.
I’m grateful to the women that escaped Dario’s grasp as well.. 😉 @ari8675, @ximenaduque, and @_marcimiller_ are such beautiful actors both inside and out and always inspired me to work at a higher level.
Lastly, the fans! You are the ones who keep this show going. I’ve gotten to know some of you personally and your passion for the stories and characters is infectious. Your opinions of Dario were hilarious and often mutually shared! Ha!
So here’s to @nbcdays ! May you have many more years to come! It’s been a hell of a ride! #dool #nextchapter#lookingforward”
Jordi will last be seen on-air through the end of this month.
So, sad to know Jordi is exiting DAYS? What did you think of the character of Dario Hernandez? Comment below.

Go over to Y&R there are so many possibilities, Ashley, Mariah, Abby, Victoria, Lily
Yet another example of DAYS hiring a great actor who can do wonders with any role, and then saddling them with terrible material and poor character development. Same thing happened with Vincent Irizzary, John-Paul Lavoisier and even A Martinez. Not to mention Sarah Brown as Madison James and Tamara Braun as Taylor Walker. And when they made the smart move to bring TB back as Ava Vitali, they went and killed her off. What a terrible mistake, she could have been a great villainess – imagine Ava joining forces with Andre to reek havoc on Salem. But instead, her return… Read more »
I’ll add Melissa Archer to your list. Her character, Serena, was painted into a corner with that never ending elephant statue story.
All shows do this! Look at that list you named! All were Emmy winners or at least nominees. These shows grab the best talent from the past but have no roles prepared for them…so they make it up as they go. Why not Vincent as Mike Horton? Why not ANY female as Sarah Horton or Meliss?? We don’t need more test tube or fake kids from Maggie….she has kids!!! Many viewers have never cared about Rafe since his introduction almost a decade ago. Why would we care about his long lost family?? And any writer/show that can waste the charm… Read more »
I really MISS… Tamara Braun… as Ava Vitali. Man.. she was HOT intriguing and the heat… dare I say… generated. this trio : Kayla / Steve / Ava… could have generated YEARS of story I’d like to prop : Ava and Steve ( Patch ) SON. he’s a GOOD ACTor. @DAYS ! he’s a keeper. Lucas Adams as Tripp Dalton. END this lame story of exacting revenge for “who murdered” his mother. it’s rather affecting to watch Tripp WITH his “step-mother” Kayla ! that’s the joy of watching Kayla as well… reacting and being a mother to a good actor.… Read more »
for, “ALL” – intent – AND – Purpose – ie: from TPTB to ep to writing to thee best cast in daytime… Days of OUR Lives I don’t know… if you have the best cast and that’s not inspiration enough Eileen Davidson Kassie DePaiva Ali Sweeney Chandler Massey he’s promising a Lucas story ! this is big… My man Lucas is up and running. Judy Evans is doing double duty… like no other.. she’s top of the line count on and surpasses with her natural ability … Bonnie and Adrienne… two Judys’ YES if DAYS keeps Tripp; then its more… Read more »
all i’m asking for… is just a little bitsy BREAK of Hope ! argh! PLEASE. I will never get Hope and Rafe. Rafe is wasted. bring back the original Lauren Boles to flesh out and make Hope bearable…. because the forced romance with Rafe is NOT GOING TO BE. so let Hope adopt “Cierra Alice”… and that’s how Lauren Boles returns. with a new name of course… are they recasting Cierra Alice ? I read a post that wants Cierra and Tripp as the new supercouple… I LIKE THIS IDEA ENOUGH with the overload and stuffed to the gills of… Read more »
I agree with your assessment, Jimmy (coincidentally my real name!). DAYS has been oddly unable to sustain the great talent it attracted with strong fan expectation and media fanfare. I went to DAYS after ATWT was cancelled and have had mixed satisfaction. Hoping RC can right the ship with some cast pruning and focus on solid stories but… please do not get too “out there” with the plotting and drama. Right off we will have some sort of resurrection (to explain Chandler Massey’s return) but I hope we can enjoy the solid family lives DAYS an be so good at.… Read more »
Spot. On.
Agree about Melissa Archer as well.
No matter how good the actor is, bad writing will drag you down. DAYS has had a surfeit of bad writing for several years now. Even veterans (Hope, Nicole, Jennifer etc) were given horrible material that no one could spin in to gold.
I hope the turn-around is real this time.
HALLELUJAH…Dario’s time is up…Y-A-Y!!!!! BYE BYE BYE!!!!!
ITA– now if they could get rid of Jade and Claire I would do my happy dance.
AGREED.
Claire more than Jade.
not much. He was written into a corner and had no layers.
AGREED!
What a class act!
Sad to see him go…
Good. Never liked the actor and don’t like Dario with Abby.
I’m with you, Mo.
I am very sorry to hear this news; but, not surprised. I always wondered by his character was there. They never took the time to make Dario a part of the larger community. They never let him connect with other characters other than his family. Even the family connection was shaky. He was friends with Nicole and Marie Wilson’s character. Both friendships died on the vine. Once again, TPTB hire a strong, proven actor and have no idea what to do with him. Don’t they have some plan in mind before they hire these people? I really like Jordi and… Read more »
That last sentence — I think it is like my beloved New York Yankees when George Steinbrenner was still alive. They would go out and BUY big names but most of the time they did not have chemistry with the team or the team did not know what to do with them. Oftentimes they had too many big names and nowhere to put them. But I would see this time and again. Instead of developing what they already had, they would have to go after the latest free agent even if they didn’t need him. I think this is the… Read more »
DAYS loves an endless, tedious triangle. Sami Carrie Austin. Hope Bo Billie. Sean Belle Phillip.
No one can drag these things out for four five years like DAYS.
What the hell? Why this stupid move? For once, I was getting to know Dario because when the character was on before, he had been brought on then was out and he hadn’t even been fleshed out. At least Jordi was able to bring a couple of layers to the character so that we could see who he was and we knew he could be redeemed. Guess we will never know now. Best thing DAYS could do at this point is to leave the character out of sight and out of mind since they feel they don’t know where to… Read more »
I’m not going to miss Dario, but will miss Jordi. I would love to have him go to another soap and play a non-criminal role. Day really ruined Dario in the end.
I’ve loved and hated Dario so you did a great job! You will be missed. The one thing I know for sure……once apart of Days, you’re always a part of Days! Fans never let you go so watch out! You’ll be Dario for the rest of your days! Thank you and the best always.
I can’t get past the way the executives treated A Martinez. He’d never say it – but they (Meng and Carlivati) treated him horribly and did quite the disservice.
I wish Jordi well. He played it with all his heart even when only given scraps.
The questions remains: Will Ron Carlivati or will Greg Meng be the one to put out their cigarette on the cold studio floor as the last parting shot once this show meets it’s fate in January?
I don’t believe Ron had anything to do with his leaving. Many of the stories were in place when he arrived.
I have been watching since 1967. They took the character of Dario and wrote him in to a corner. They left him with no redeeming qualities. They did it to A Martinez as well. The one family member I have NEVER warmed up to is Gabbi. The girl who calls herself Abbey’s best friend and keeps going after her friends husband. Her they can send packing. So much talent on this show, especially the vets, and they shove characters down our throat that we simply don’t care about. Send Claire to live with her parents please. Kyler Pettis is fabulous… Read more »
Agreeeeeeed, Andrea. I have said it in the past how Gabi has been after Chad since forever. I don’t buy the innocence.
Theo!!!! I love him. He is a such a “makes a difference”, class act, young actor, in his own quiet way. He has such presence….and, hot, to boot. What an original.
I agree about Theo and Claire; he’s great and she’s mild.
Bites that he’s let go before Ron C. was able to really write for Dario.

Days Of Our Lives
DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Julie Stands Up to MarDevil; Susan Seaforth Hayes Reminds Us Why She is Soap Royalty
Friday’s episode of Days of our Lives brought with it, let’s just say, not your typical Turkey Day episode in Salem. It also moved the story along with MarDevil being exposed!
At Julie’s (Susan Seaforth Hayes) Thanksgiving, Doug (Bill Hayes) shouts that Marlena (Deidre Hall) is the devil. However, Marlena still insists that Doug is delusional and needs to be locked back up. It is then that Julie stands by her husband. Julie is on to Marlena and wonders if she should call “Marlena,” who she truly is at the moment, “Satan”.
Courtesy/NBC
Shawn (Brandon Beemer) and Belle (Martha Madison) also believe something is terribly wrong. Marlena tells them this is ridiculous, but Belle wants to hear what else Doug has to say. Then, Shawn handcuffs Marlena to take her down to the station for questioning. Julie doesn’t believe for one second that handcuffs will restrain the devil, and she was right! MarDevil breaks the cuffs and flings Shawn across the Thanksgiving dinner table complete with food-a-flying, leaving him unconscious.
Now with yellow eyes and lights flickering, MarDevil goes after Doug and Julie, but Julie stops Satan in his tracks professing “Not today, Satan!” Just then, MarDevil grabs a knife and in a counter move, Julie holds out her rosary saying love is the power and that the God of love is stronger than the devil! Julie defiantly tells MarDevil that the truth is out and Satan’s reign of terror is over! But MarDevil turns the tables and sneers, “It will never be over!”
It was in these scenes opposite Deidre Hall, that Susan Seaforth Hayes shined as she has done for decades given the material, as Julie went the toe-to-toe with the devil and Susan made us believe that love can win out over everything, especially the love of Doug and Julie.

In another touching moment in the episode, Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) tells EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) from her hospital bed, how she used herself as a human sacrifice for the devil to keep John alive and to protect her son. An emotional EJ can’t believe that Susan was willing to die for him. However, Susan explains that a mother always protects their child and she would do it all over again when faced with that decision. Haiduk and Feurriegel also delivered in these scenes.

With John (Drake Hogestyn) freed by Anna (Leann Hunley) and Tony (Thaao Penghlis), he eventually makes his way into the Horton house to confront MarDevil, but Satan is gone. Instead, John finds Shawn with Doug and Julie and they inform him that MarDevil had left to fulfill her true purpose. Just then, Marlena arrives at Ben (Rob Scott Wilson) and Ciara’s (Victoria Konefal). We fade to black.
Now below, check out Susan Seaforth Hayes in a scene from Friday’s episode as Julie fends off the devil.
Then, let us know, what did you think of Susan’s performance? What do you think MarDevil will do next to Ben and Ciara and “their” baby? Did you enjoy the Susan and EJ scenes? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Love wins…@DaysHayes are just fabulous.#Days #Mardevil #Vets pic.twitter.com/bH4UIb6yXv
