Days of Our Lives Comings & Goings: Three Exciting Returns, Two Sad Exits and One Brand-New Role

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers reveal that a lot of cast changes are happening, so let’s talk about some important comings and goings news. For starters, John-Paul Lavoisier just kicked off his comeback stint as Philip Kiriakis, so Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) will have a new rival to contend with when it comes to Titan.

Philip will be teaming up with Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) on a scheme or two in the coming episodes, but Vivian will have other matters to take care of first.

Vivian will interact with her trusted henchman, Ivan Marais (Ivan G’Vera), who’ll play a big role in helping Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) exit the canvas on October 28.

Days spoilers say Stefan will be restrained and thrown in the back of a trunk, so where he goes next will be out of his control!

Ivan will drive Stefan somewhere of Vivian’s choosing, but Gabi Hernandez DiMera (Cherie Jimenez) and the DiMera clan will probably be tricked into believing Stefan just left Salem of his own volition.

However, Gabi will have a family reunion to keep her busy since Al Calderon will make his debut as Javi on October 28 as well.

Javi is Gabi and Rafe Hernandez’s (Galen Gering) cousin, so it looks like he’ll be crashing at the Hernandez house for the foreseeable future.

Days spoilers confirm Javi is gay, so it probably won’t be long until Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) crosses paths with the new man of his dreams.

Leo wasn’t sure he’d ever find love again, but our predictions point to Javi changing all that down the road.

In the meantime, we should address another imminent DOOL departure since Greg Vaughan is set to exit the role of Eric Brady once more.

After getting Holly Jonas’ (Ashley Puzemis) forgiveness, Days spoilers say Eric will return to Paris so he can finally reunite with Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker) and Jude Brady (Oliver McLarty).

Although this won’t be the last time we see Eric in Salem, fans will still have to bid him farewell for now!

Days of Our Lives spoilers say some other exits could be on the horizon, so we’ll bring you updates on all the latest comings and goings news.
