Days of Our Lives Exit Shocker: Serena Scott Thomas Wraps Run as Fiona Cook After Dramatic Hit-and-Run Storyline
Serena Scott Thomas concludes her run as Fiona Cook on Days of Our Lives after explosive storyline involving Sarah’s hit-and-run. From her dramatic wedding crash to her final letter to Xander, here’s how Salem bid farewell to this complex character.

Serena Scott Thomas Exits DAYS: Fiona’s Dramatic Departure Leaves Door Open for Return
Dramatic Exit from Salem
Well, Salemites, another one bites the dust! Serena Scott Thomas has officially wrapped her whirlwind run as the complicated Fiona Cook on Days of our Lives, and oh boy, did she leave us with plenty to talk about! From her jaw-dropping entrance to her rather sneaky exit, Fiona’s brief time in Salem certainly left its mark—especially on her son Xander’s life.
Memorable Arrival and Early Days
Remember when Fiona first blew into town on July 19? Talk about making an entrance! She crashed the double wedding of Alex and Theresa alongside Xander and Sarah, dropping bombshells like they were confetti. But that was just the beginning of her drama-filled stint in Salem.
At first, it seemed like Fiona might actually bring some positive energy to town. She struck up an interesting friendship with Brady Black, and their drinking buddy dynamic had some fans wondering if maybe—just maybe—there might be more brewing there. But oh, how quickly things went sideways!
The Hit-and-Run Drama
In what has to be one of the most shocking turns of events this year, Fiona ended up running Sarah over with her car! And as if that wasn’t bad enough, she sat back and watched while Brady took the fall for her crime. Talk about ice-cold! The whole thing unraveled spectacularly, with Fiona finally facing what looked like some serious prison time for her actions.
But here’s where things get interesting, fellow DAYS fans. Just when we thought Fiona would face the music, Melinda managed to pressure EJ into dropping the charges. And what did our girl Fiona do with this get-out-of-jail-free card? She hightailed it out of Salem faster than you can say “like sands through the hourglass”!
Complex Departure and Future Potential
The most heartbreaking part? Fiona couldn’t even face Xander to say goodbye in person. Instead, she left him a letter—and let me tell you, it’s complicated. While she expressed her love for her son and a desire to someday earn his forgiveness, she couldn’t quite bring herself to make a direct apology for her actions. Given Xander’s history of, shall we say, extreme reactions to people who hurt Sarah (remember his attempted murder spree?), maybe a swift exit was the smartest play.
What makes this exit particularly intriguing is how the writers have left the door wide open for a potential return. No prison time, an unresolved mother-son relationship, and a letter hinting at future redemption? That’s soap opera gold, folks!
Fiona’s Legacy in Salem
While Serena Scott Thomas’s run might have been brief, she certainly made it memorable. Before bringing Fiona to life in Salem, the English actress was known for portraying Princess Diana in “Diana: Her True Story” and appeared in impressive projects like “The World Is Not Enough” and “Inherent Vice.” She brought that same sophistication and complexity to Fiona, making her more than just another soap opera villain.
Interestingly, Fiona’s exit coincides with Eric’s departure to Paris to reunite with Nicole and Jude, after he helped clear Brady’s name in the hit-and-run case. It’s a masterclass in how DAYS ties up loose ends while leaving plenty of threads dangling for future storylines.

Love Tony. Always liked his character, calm & collective. Too bad his other brothers aren’t like him. He wins the hearts of many.
