‘Days Of Our Lives’ Comings And Goings News: True O’Brien Departs DOOL, Exits Role Of Paige Larson

The latest “Days of Our Lives” comings and goings news reveals that Paige (True O’Brien) is likely on her way out of Salem. DOOL rumors have been hinting at O’Brien’s departure for months and we now have confirmation. According to Jason47’s “Days” Facebook page, O’Brien will indeed be exiting the role in the near future. The 21-year-old actress joins the long list of departures and casting shakeups we’ve been hearing about recently.

Freddie Smith (Sonny), Paul Telfer (Xander) and Melissa Archer (Serena) will be making their final appearances later this summer. It was also announced that Brendan Coughlin (Tad aka “T”), Terrell Ransom, Jr. (Theo), Connor Kalopsis (Chase) and Lauren Boles (Ciara) are all done at “Days of Our Lives.” Even more characters are expected to be dropped or swapped for different actors as the new head writers, Dena Higley and Josh Griffith, take the soap in another direction. When Higley and Griffith’s scripts hit the screen in late August, you can expect a lot of changes. Many DOOL viewers are excited to see what the show has in store.

As for Paige, there’s no official word on how she might be written out. It seems likely that Paige will finally head to California and enroll in Stanford. Now that Eve (Kassie DePaiva) and JJ’s (Casey Moss) affair has blown up and the big reveal has fizzled, there’s not much left in Salem for Paige. It looks like Paige will give up on “Insta-date” and focus on her education. Of course, there’s always the possibility that Paige could be recast. However, there should be plenty of drama to fill the void if Paige is gone for good. “Days of Our Lives” has been doing just as much hiring as firing lately.
