Days of Our Lives fan favorite Brandon Barash has made the shocking revelation that he has been fired from the soap opera Peacock. His character, Stefan DiMera, will exit on Monday, October 28th. Mr Barasch confirmed Mr Stephens will step down next week – and it looks like his term at Thorpe will end as soon as the week begins.
He revealed that he was fired even though he was still in the middle of his contract. And it was the writers’ choice to fire him. Shortly after Barash filmed a bittersweet scene with actress Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez), Barash was notified. If you recall, it was in the aftermath of Connie’s crazy bomb plot.
Stefan brings flowers to Gabi, who is in the hospital. And they talked about saving their marriage. So Brandon was happy with his job. The Stephan actor then said he was called to Janet Drucker’s office. And he knew what would happen.
Janet is the executive producer of Days of our Lives. He said the dismissal was a shock and a blow to his self-esteem. But Barash said he’s also excited about the future and what’s next for him. And he thought the universe was telling him Days of Our Lives wasn’t where he was supposed to be.
Days of Our Lives: Brandon Barash Fired as Stefan DiMera – Exited as Kidnap Victim on Monday
Brandon Barash finished filming the role of Stephen DiMera in the first week of March 2024. Despite being blindsided by being laid off, I’m glad I was able to put in the time. Most of his son’s first graders With him, because he has an axe.
Similarly, Barash was discharged from the general hospital before the birth of her daughter. But he said it was his choice and this situation on Days of Our Lives wasn’t and they just fired him. Still, he’s grateful for all the memories he made with his family at home.
Barash’s daughter Harper Rose is with his ex-wife, General Hospital actress Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones). He also has a one-year-old son, Joaquín, with his current wife Isa Baras. Like any devoted father, Brandon says being a father is his most important role.
Brandon is sad to leave the storyline between Stefan, Gabi, and EJ DiMera (Daniel Feurigel). And I felt like they were going somewhere interesting with Days of Our Lives. Sherry Himements and Feueriger were unhappy with Barash’s sudden departure.

It seems unlikely that Brandon Barash will return to Days of Our Lives. One of the reasons, he says, is that this is the second time he has been fired from the soap midway through his contract. Barasch said the story and contract would have to be “very right” to return.
He has lost confidence in the program’s team. Brandon said trust is necessary in business, just like in marriage. You need to know that when things get tough, it sticks with you. He said that for a TV show like this, they didn’t know what to do with his character, but they knew he had just had a child, so they just wrote him out. Ta.
Therefore, he no longer has such trust in them. Since his firing, the writing team has changed and Ron Carlivati has left Days of Our Lives. However, it is unclear whether Mr. Carlivati was the decision-maker in this firing.
Stephen DiMera’s resignation began on Friday, October 25th. At that moment, a masked man drugs Stefan. After deciding to fight for Gabi, he tore up the divorce papers. Stefan was drugged and left unconscious on the couch.
Then, on Monday, Stéphane’s mother, Vivian Alamein (Louise Sorel), stopped Gabi at the front door of the mansion. Vivian’s henchman Ivan Marais (Ivan Guvera) drugs her son on her orders. And the next week, Ivan forces Stefan into the trunk of a car and he is driven away. Unless they can recast their roles or convince Brandon Barash to trust them again, we won’t see them again…
