Days of Our Lives: Stefan DiMera’s Brandon Barash Out in Shocking Exit – Star Admits “I’ve Lost That Ability to Trust”
Breaking News: Sudden Exit
In a stunning revelation to Soaps.com, Brandon Barash has opened up about his unexpected departure from Days of Our Lives, and folks, this one’s a real heartbreaker. The talented actor, who’s brought Stefan DiMera to life and become a fan favorite in Salem, is leaving our screens much sooner than anyone expected – and the way it all went down? Well, let’s just say it wasn’t exactly a fairy tale ending.
Behind the Scenes Revelation
Picture this: There’s Barash, fresh from filming an intense hospital scene with his co-star Cherie Jimenez (Gabi), when suddenly he gets called to co-executive producer Janet Spellman-Drucker’s office. You know that feeling when you’re called to the principal’s office? Yeah, it was exactly like that, except worse.
“I knew exactly what was happening as soon as I was called up to [the boss’] office,” Barash shared with Soaps.com, recalling the moment with crystal clarity.
The conversation that followed was one of those gut-punch moments that no actor wants to hear: “Look, this is not my doing. I don’t like it. And this is no reflection on you or your abilities. You’re very talented. We know your work ethic is very high, but it’s just where we’re deciding to take the character.”
Future Plans & Opportunities
Mark your calendars, DAYS fans – Stefan’s final appearance is set for Monday, October 28. But don’t worry, you haven’t seen the last of Barash just yet! He’ll still be rocking out with The Day Players Band at the Day of DAYS event on Saturday, November 2, in Los Angeles. In fact, the band has shows planned all the way through 2025! Plus, there’s buzz about a potential Hallmark opportunity on the horizon.
Potential Return to Salem
“I don’t know,” he said, his hesitation speaking volumes. “This is the second time this has happened to me on Days of Our Lives. And, you know, it would have to be very, very right. The terms would have to be right. The story would have to be right. The contract would have to be right.”
Then came the real kicker – a revelation that might break some fans’ hearts: “And I would have to be able to trust them. And I’ve lost that. I’ve lost that ability to trust that team, quite frankly.”
Impact on Fans & Show
Look, being an actor in daytime television is like riding a rollercoaster – you never know when the next big drop is coming. But having it happen twice? That’s enough to make anyone think twice about getting back on the ride.
The Day Players Band tour dates through 2025 and potential Hallmark projects are giving fans hope that they’ll still be able to see Barash on their screens, even if it’s not in Salem. But one thing’s for sure – Stefan DiMera’s exit is going to leave a DiMera-sized hole in Salem that won’t be easy to fill.

I love Brandon Barash and the part he portrays as Stefan. I look forward to him and Gabi as a couple. I think this is a terrible move on the show’s part.

This is terrible. He and Gabi were just about to have a second chance. The writers knew that was happening and all of a sudden they decide they don’t want him on the show anymore? Co-executive producer Janet Spellman-Drucker may be losing more than Brandon Barash. Keep this up & Days will lose more viewers.

I don’t like it, I am seriously considering being done with Days, one of the better couples together, they can’t let no one be happy in there. I think it’s disgusting they are letting him go!!!

What were they, whomever ‘they’ are, thinking, or rather not thinking?? Very disappointed, to say the least. Maybe GH could pick him up. Would love that. 😃

I like the show with Brandon Barash. He’s one of the best actor on it and I love him together with Gabi. You’ve lost me as a DOOL viewer. Days is going downhill. Shame on you. Co -executive producer Janet Spellmen-Drucker. You should have try hard to keep him on the show.
