Ari hasn’t exactly been coasting lately on Days of our Lives. With Holly out of their dorm room, she settled into a more intimate rhythm with Liam, patching him up after a violent run-in with Klaus. The problem is, Liam’s life is anything but calm. He’s tied up in something dangerous, feeding Ari half-truths and warnings to stay away, which, predictably, only pulls her in closer. Off-screen, though, Marissa Reyes is already looking ahead, and based on what she shared, she’s leaving with clear eyes and a full heart.
Key Takeaways

- Reyes confirmed leaving was her personal decision, with her farewell feeling open-ended and focusing on what’s next.
A Goodbye That Feels Personal
Reyes posted on Instagram, “In honor of my final episode of @dayspeacock airing this week, I thought that I’d share some memories from my wrap day! :’) … Here’s to what’s coming!!” alongside a series of black-and-white videos that feel more like a scrapbook than a sendoff. She’s seen dancing around the dorm set, followed by a still shot of her dressing room with her name on it.
Then, she and Ashley Puzemis (Holly) are laughing uncontrollably in another clip. After that was a still of Reyes and Cherie Jimenez (Gabi) with the show’s makeup gurus. Then there were more of her dancing outside her dressing room, getting her hair done, and making faces in a mirror.
She can also be seen dancing with Hank Northrop (Liam) in the hallways, and she capped everything off perfectly with a still shot of the quiet little Warner Bros. gatehouse, casually stamped with “That’s all folks!” like it didn’t help launch the chaos engine that is Looney Tunes, where physics went to die and anvils developed a personal vendetta.
Looking Ahead Without Looking Back
Her castmates showed up in the comments with their own mix of chaos and affection. Louis Tomeo (Aaron) dropped the wonderfully baffling “Jarvis run the dead wife montage,” while Abigail Klein (Stephanie) kept it simple with, “Forever smitten with you!!!😍.” Jimenez, who plays Ari’s on-screen mom Gabi, went straight for the heart with, “My beauty. My soulmate. I love you forever. ♾️.” And Dan Feuerriegel (EJ) kept it efficient with, “🙌🔥❤️.”
Fans filled in the rest, and it reads like a long goodbye line that never quite ends. One wrote, “You were an amazing Ari! So sad to see you go but I’m sure your future is bright 🔥👏,” while another added, “Enjoy your many chapters!You are a bright young star with so much more to do and create!!❤️.” One viewer kept it blunt with “end of an era 🙌 hype to see what’s next,” and another simply posted “Ari’s leaving 😭.”
Reyes made it clear this was her call, and that detail changes the tone of everything. There’s no sense of being pushed out or written off too soon. Her goodbye wasn’t wrapped in finality. It’s open-ended. The videos show someone who enjoyed the ride, the comments show how much she connected with people along the way, and the message itself points straight ahead. Whatever comes next, she’s already in motion.
