Major changes are on the horizon in Salem, bringing emotional goodbyes, thrilling returns, and an unexpected departure that has fans buzzing. Buckle up, Days of Our Lives fans—there’s plenty to dissect in the latest comings and goings.
A Heartfelt Farewell: Theresa Donovan’s Sudden Exit
Theresa Donovan is preparing to leave Salem sooner than expected, and the reason is nothing short of heartbreaking. While her time in town has been filled with ups and downs, real life is pulling her away for a devastating reason—her mother, Kimberly Brady, is facing a serious health crisis. Longtime fans know that Kimberly has been battling cancer for years, and now, the illness has reached a critical stage.
Theresa recently confided in Amy Choy about her growing fears regarding Kimberly’s declining condition. Those fears are soon confirmed when Shane Donovan, played by returning actor Charles Shaughnessy, arrives in Salem with grim news. Initially caught up in the chaos of John Black’s mysterious disappearance, Shane is interrogated by Marina Evans and Steve Johnson as they search for answers. However, his visit takes a deeply personal turn when he sits down with Theresa and delivers the devastating update—Kimberly’s health has rapidly deteriorated, and she may not have much time left.
Faced with the looming loss of her mother, Theresa makes a swift decision—she must leave Salem to be by Kimberly’s side in California. Her departure will be sudden, emotional, and deeply impactful, leaving a void in the lives of those she’s closest to, including Brady Black, Tate, and the rest of her family. While it remains unclear whether Theresa will return, her exit is sure to leave a lasting impact on Salem.
Shane Donovan’s Short but Powerful Return
Shane’s return may be brief, but it carries significant weight. His presence ties into multiple storylines, from John Black’s disappearance to his family’s personal struggles. His interactions with Theresa highlight the emotional toll of Kimberly’s illness and set the stage for an unforgettable farewell. For longtime viewers, Shane’s return is a nostalgic reminder of the Brady family legacy and the deep-rooted connections that continue to shape Salem’s landscape.

His portrayal of Chad has been central to the DiMera family’s ongoing saga, filled with ambition, heartbreak, and resilience.
Flynn’s exit will be an emotional moment for longtime viewers who have watched Chad grow from a young heir to a key figure in Salem society.
