May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

In February 2020, Galen Gering confirmed to fans that he was leaving "Days of Our Lives." The actor took to social media to share the news. "I've always seen birthdays as a day of reflection, an opportunity to look back at where I've been and where I'm going. So, it's oddly befitting that today also happens to be my last day at Days," he wrote. "Man ... I have such great memories from the last 10 years," Gering continued. "And offscreen, I've made friendships that I will have for a lifetime. Thanks for the memories Days of Our Lives," he added.

Gering's exit from the soap opera came just days after Freddie Smith and Chandler Massey were also axed from the show. "It was not our choice," Smith said of their exit (via TVLine). "We were looking forward to staying on and keeping the story going, but I do understand there is a lot happening with Days of Our Lives [at the moment]." Smith's comments alluded to the mass contract dump that the show had recently gone through and the show's renewal as being the reason behind the casting shakeup.

Although Gering was fired from the sudser in early 2020, it wasn't long before he was back to work on the show. In August 2020, the actor returned to reprise the role of Rafe Hernandez, per Entertainment Weekly and fans were happy to learn that Rafe was sticking around Salem, where he belongs.
