Looks like Daytime Emmy winning star, Vincent Irizarry’s time with Days of our Lives may have come to an end. However, the news is unconfirmed by the NBC sudser itself.
According to a report from Soap Central, they are hearing that multiple sources that Irizarry has wrapped up turn as evil Deimos Kiriakis.
But as DAYS fans know, since the show tapes much in advance, Vincent will be seen on-air through the middle of 2017, if the actor had left the show.
Irizarry first aired on Days of our Lives back in January 0f 2016, and has been major in story throughout his entire time with the soap.
So, would you be sad to learn that Vincent is done at DAYS? Comment below!
yes he’s done good part of days, I really want nicole to have holly she never been a mom and I miss Daniel for his sake give holly to Nicole.to whom would truly a wonderful mom bye bye chole.. as for device jenn and ladies break it. chad and abby please gabby is there at the wrong time .hope chad comes to sences for abby
they have a baby they were getting along sooo good tell they gabby and chad got kidnap.
It appears that Nicole is not going to have Holly. Chloe has been awarded custody of Nicole’s biological child and will be moving to New York. I hope Chloe rots in hell for what she has done.
He would had made a better Dimera than a K…son of Andre?….he probably will end up next on GH…they will make room for him…he will play Dr. Nico Cassidy-who is an unknown son of Mikkos Cassidine…Nico Cassidy=Nikkos Cassidine-lol
Ahhh, well, Jimmy. If that’s the case with David and Finn’s wife, then the ‘disease’ does not stop there.
David did have an affair with Erica Kane. Golly gee….think of all the ‘players’ who may have been, potentially, infected. Can you think of anyone else? LOL.
Wishful GH casting: Howarth OUT as Franco and Irizarry IN as David.
Oh please! Can not stand what they have done to Roger Howarth. Just the way he looks these days, like a vagrant is sickening, seeing him close to Elizabeth. He looks worse the the bomb planter guy, Buzz, and he’s supposed to be homeless!
totally agree………hard to watch………
i want Roger to stay but back in his best role Todd Manning. It would be cool to bring Vincent to GH as David Hayward.
Yes, keep Howarth but as Todd. If rumors are true DeVry is out as Julian. Use his salary savings to bring on DI. In addition to his history with Anna, he brings a dynamic doctor to the hospital.
Absolutely!!! David Hayward has history with Anna.
I agree, Roger needs to be Todd Manning again instead of Franco.
David and Anna reunion in the end….after a red hot quad with Valentin and Nina.
Interesting, Newmanwins. I’ll take Vincent in any role.
Amen to that Celia, Vincent is a wonderful actor.
I forgot about David-he could be behind Finn’s illness after having an affair with Finns wife!!!
@Claudio.
Absolutely, my friend. Vincent is the kind of one in a million actors who falls into any role effortlessly and makes it his own in an instant. Love him.
Deimos is angering so many…i bet he will be killed off and we will have a who killed Deimos plotline?
Sorry, but his character is SO unlikeable. The one reason I turn off DAYS. DAYS doesn’t need GH Sonny or Y&R Victor.
DAYS already has a Y&R Victor – his name is also Victor.
Amen to that. The character has been written way to over the top. Hence the writing change. Good riddens and don’t bring him to GH the cast is too top heavy as it is.
Hey, Jimmy.
Probably. But, I wonder how many people will care if Deimos dies, except for Nicole.
This can’t be the end of seeing this superb actor. Hope another soap catches him up. Good fit for GH. Used to watch him on AMC and he hasn’t missed a beat in joining Days. Hopefully will hear he has landed another role soon. One can only hope!
I like the actor so much. He really brought energy to a rudderless listless show.
Unfortunately the writers never figured out who the character was. Villain who attacked Maggie? Redeemed good guy? Mobster, Business Titan or convict of three decades?
The folks who complain about the show being too dark have a point in that the writing is dragging the show down. Not only is it dark it’s confused and lumbering.
This character should have been a gift. Instead it’s just another misfire and waste of a talented actor. It’s a shame he won’t be around when Ron C steps in. I bet he’d know how to fix the character.
I agree Tomas; whenever Deimos is in a scene, it’s great. Ron would know what to do.
VI is such a good actor, but he was given lousy material and a character who didn’t fit into Days’ history, so they had to rewrite it for him. That’s a big no-no in my book. Too often, I saw Deimos twirl his mustache like a cartoon villain. VI deserved better and while I liked him alot on AMC, I saw him as a square peg trying to fit into a round hole on Days. I wish him well, but Days was not the right fit for him.
He is always Lujack to me!! And nick! God I miss Guiding Light!
God I wish they had stuck with Ellen Wheeler’s version and the resulting realistic and utterly enjoyable version of the show. CBS pulled the plug on a future ratings goldmine and an inevitable change to the daytime drama canvas.
Ellen Wheeler is a soap killer,, just like Jill Phelps. I hope we never see them again in Daytime.
Yeah, always Lujack!
I like Vincent and I wish him well. But I will not miss Deimos Kiriakis.
Wow! Really? Surprised because he’s on the screen so much and it seemed like they were grooming his character to be the next Victor.
I do think he has been used too much. He’s been okay. I have never found VI attractive, but he’s a good actor and I don’t hate him on Days. I just don’t want to see Deimos so much.
I guess the new writer has new plans.
Days seems to ruin every character. The only reason I’ve stayed with them to this point is Vincent Irizarry. These soaps seem to not realize what a gem he is.
While we’re on the subject, why is Days so noisy? Now they seem to be banging pans loudly while the actors speak softly. It’s an impossible combination. Not to mention the high-pitched violin screeching (and I’m a violin fan). Why can’t we be allowed to hear the dialogue?
Great Actor. I have enjoyed him on his various soaps. Will miss him.
He was so wasted when he was on Y&R years ago as Nikki’s con artist husband!!
I don’t mean wasted as in drunk, but his talent..lol
Yes, diane, we all know Niki was the “wasted” one, LOL!
And the revolving door that is Days spins on. I look forward to the next breathless feature expressing regret for the show’s direction and proclaiming the “big changes” to come.
ROFL. It’s like the movie Groundhog Daily, only Corday went cheap and got a bad PR back.
Yes, this time will be different.
It’s painful. So few shows left… I want each and every one to thrive for their fans.
Vincent Irizarry is an amazing actor. I still remember his days on Y&R (where he was woefully wasted, just like Maura West and Debbi Morgan were), as well as AMC. But on DAYS, he wasn’t only tasked with bringing on a previously unheard of character in a major family to the show; he also had to turn lemons into lemonade with the awful material he was given. Deimos was never going to be a character that lasted long after the terrible things he did and how many people hated him. Stefano DiMera, he was not. But Vincent will be truly missed. His talents brought Deimos to life, but didn’t make him any more likable.
Hopefully he will reprise the role of David Hayward on GH, and the show will keep him around long term, on contract. The hospital could use more doctors, and the chemistry he and Finola have is phenomenal. He was also great on Y&R when paired in scenes with Michelle Stafford, so I’m looking forward to seeing GH make magic with Vincent.
I agree, Vincent is an awesome actor. He brings strength and energy to his roles; wishy-washy is not his style. I’d love to see him join GH as Dr. Hayward. They need some more hospital staff with significant roles. Monica doesn’t have much presence anymore, Griffin is good but young, the psychiatrist who was dating Jordan…nice guy role but not much action in his scripts…time for some new blood. And he’d be great in scenes with Anna and Dr. Looney-Criminal-Obrecht.
Amen to everything you said Jimmy, but I would rather see him paired with Finolla/ Anna . Michelle Stafford , whether on Y&R or GH never seems to have that depth of character. To me she always shows a frivilolous behavior.
Boy, I sure messed up the word frivilous. No way to edit here!
I’m sorry…but…as much as I like VI as an actor, his time at DOOL IS UP!!!!! Hey…I STILL CAN’T get past what that DIRTBALL Deimos did to poor Maggie…drugging her…which (if I remember correctly) put her in a wheelchair. N-o-p-e.
Later.
I will love see him on General Hospital !!!!
We need to bring Vincent Irizarry over to GH and reunite him with Anna Devane. General Hospital also needs a cardiologist on board and Dr. David Hayward is the best! Anna Devane and David Hayward connected the minute Anna began investigating David for being a drug lord named Proteus. Turns out David’s father was the original Proteus and then it was passed down to David’s deranged mother who actually kills both herself and David’s half-brother Leo. A little info on them, Anna married David to keep him out of jail, and no he didn’t pressure her into it. She actually fell in love with David after they married. They tried to have a baby and Anna soon found out she was pregnant. In 2003 Anna and David found out that their baby while Anna was still pregnant, had a heart problem and needed surgery while “in utero”, she flew out to Switzerland to see a specialist but couldn’t stand being away from David so she flew back to Pine Valley and brought the specialist with her. Well, right before the procedure, the specialist has a stroke and there is nobody else who can fly in on time to do it and it had to happen that day or the baby didn’t stand a chance of survival so Dr. Jake Martin and Dr. Joe Martin told David to perform the surgery on his own wife and child (talk about pressure). The surgery was a success even after a few complications. While Anna was recovering at the hospital she goes into early labor at 8 months pregnant and has a C-section and baby Leora Hayward (named after Leo Du Pres, David’s half-brother) is born. David and Anna soon find out that Leora is still having heart issues and needs a pacemaker, but David being a cardiologist thinks it’s too risky because she was a premie and was still recovering after having surgery while “in utero” so they waited. Due to the stress of all that David and Anna were going g through, their marriage began to fall apart. Finally David after putting his foot down on surgery agreed to it. While in surgery having a pacemaker put in, baby Leora died. David blamed Dr. Joe Martin and Tad Martin for him not being allowed to perform the surgery himself and David soon had a mental breakdown. They managed to recover and Anna decided to leave Pine Valley. David and Anna said goodbye to each other and hugged each other, I would definitely say they left on good terms. Their relationship was dangerous, spontaneous, magical, sexy and devious. So again let’s bring Vincent Irizarry to GH as Dr. David Hayward!!!
Love, love, LOVE Irizarry and hope he could sign on to do a Doctor gig, YES!

DAYS OF OUR LIVES Preview: Kristen Locates an Alive Sophia, How Much Does Rita Know About the Birth of Dominic Marino?
Next week, expected surprises and schemes on Days of our Lives. In official spoilers for episodes streaming on Peacock from October 5-9, it looks like Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) has hunted down a very much alive Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd), while Marlena (Deidre Hall) admits a deeply concerning confession to her daughter Belle (Martha Madison), and more.
As previously reported, Tajh Bellow (ex-TJ Ashford, General Hospital) is stepping in for one day for Tyler Joseph Andrews in the role of Theo Carver and will share scenes with Gabi (Cherie Jimenez), where Theo finally agrees to go along with Gabi’s plan, after she offered him a job.
Meanwhile, Gabi may have her hands full with Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) whose big win in Monte Carlo may have sparked his gambling addiction … all over again, but Philip reveals her has a plan.

Sydney (Sydney Malekeh) is in for a shock when Dante (Franco LoPresti) arrives in Salem. Why is he in Salem? Is he part of the unraveling of the Dominic Marino mystery, since we know he seemed like he was talking to the man in Monte Carlo?
Will Marlena ever figure out what Rita (Maggie Carney) is hiding about the mystery of Dominic, and if Marlena is truly his birth mother or did something more suspicious go on and how deeply involved is Rita in this whole story?
EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) finally demands answers of his own from Rita after overhearing on today’s Cliffhanger Friday her conversation with Marlena. Will Rita cop to anything?
Then as noted, while everyone thinks Sophia took her own life, after Kristen “murdered” her, Kristen is infuriated to find she is somehow alive working as waitress in a diner in Kentucky. Will Kristen try to kill Sophia yet again?

‘General Hospital’ Alum Tajh Bellow Fills In for ‘Days of our Lives’ Tyler Joseph Andrews in the Role of Theo Carver

According to TV Insider, Bellow will be making a one-day appearance next week on the October 6 episode of DAYS as Andrews was unable to make the tape date that was shot 10 months ago on a day last December. Andrews (pictured below) took over the role of Theo in September of 2025.

TAJH WILL BE SEEN IN MULTIPLE PROJECTS IN OCTOBER
As General Hospital fans know, Tajh played the role of TJ Ashford from 2018 to his last appearance in December of 2024. Along the way, he received two Daytime Emmy nominations for his performances as TJ, the last being in 2025 in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
In addition, bellow along with Y&R alum Loren Lott will be seen starting on October 14 in the new Love Island spoof series, The Compatibility Experiment. The show will drop exclusively on TikTok and the PineDrama platform.
The Compatibility Experiment gives a satirical look at reality dating shows, think Love Island! The story centers around Kelvin (Bellow) and Camila (Lott), whose relationship is put to the test when they join a reality show to try to win a the million dollar prize.
So, what do you think of Tajh stepping in for Tyler Joseph Andrews as Theo on DAYS? Perhaps, the soap opera liked his work that he might be considered for another role in the future bringing Bellow back to the soaps? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
Four cast members are officially on contract at Days of our Lives, according to the soap opera’s closing credits on Peacock and longtime Days expert and historian Jason 47.
Lauren Koslow (Kate), Sydney Malakeh (Sydney), Sal Stowers (Lani) and Jacob Martinez (Javi) are the names that appear in the closing credits in the contracted cast members section. Days of our Lives fans also note that the series tapes ten months in advance of streaming episodes.
As Days of our Lives fans know, Lauren Koslow has played Kate Roberts since 1996, and recently filled-in for Jess Walton in the role of Jill Abbott on The Young and the Restless when Walton was unable to travel from Oregon to Los Angeles during the specific tape dates. But now, Koslow has been re-upped to contract status as of the September 8 episode.

SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED
Sydney Malakeh is the newest member of the contract players when she debuted on contract status on the September 10th episode. Days fans first met Sami (Alison Sweeney) and EJ’s (Dan Feuerriegel) daughter in scenes in Monte Carlo around a gambling table.
As for Sal Stowers, the actress had been on contract from 2015-2022, then on recurring status with the soap, and would make appearances and limited runs since 2023. Soap fans first saw Sal as Cassandra Foster on Prospect Park’s revival of All My Children in 2013. Sal’s first new contracted episode was noted to be September 16.
Jacob Martinez, debuted on June 30 of this year as the successor to Al Calderon in the role of Javi Hernandez, and has now been bumped up to series regular as of the September 10 episode.

CREDITS
According to the referenced posting from Days of our Lives expert and historian Jason 47, he shared, “It took me four weeks to realize, but the same week that Sydney Malakeh (Sydney) debuted (9/7-9/11), “Days” also put Lauren Koslow (Kate), Jacob Richard Martinez (Javi) and Sal Stowers (Lani) on contract.”
Jason47 added, “This confirms the “errors” of Lani being listed in the credits the week of 9/7 but not appearing, and Kate and Javi appearing in the credits the week of 9/14 but not appearing. It also now makes sense why Javi and Sydney are being listed before Rafe and Philip in the credits.”
He also shared, “For the record, Lauren Koslow’s first date back on contract was 9/8, Jacob Richard Martinez was upped to contract on 9/10, Sydney Malakeh debuted on contract 9/10 and Sal Stowers’ first date back on contract was 9/16. The records will be fixed on the website in the coming days.”
So, glad to hear Lauren, Sydney, Sal and Jacob appear to be on contract with Days of our Lives (as of these episode airings)? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
