Taylor Spreitler Leaving Days

We'll miss seeing Mia in her usual Salem haunts, like Java Cafe ...

Just when we were getting sucked into the whole "Mia McCormick's turning into a Gossip Girl" thing on Days of our Lives -- what with her trying to break up Chad and Gabi, and leading Will on -- comes word that the actress behind Mia, Taylor Spreitler, has been let go from the show.

 

According to Soap Opera Digest, Taylor (who joined the show in January 2009) will be shooting her last episodes in the next few weeks.

 

"I have enjoyed playing such a fun and ever changing character on daytime television and it has been an incredibly gratifying experience both professionally and personally," she said in a statement. "My heart will always be in Salem. Wanted to say thank you to all my fans for your support. I would also like to say thank you to [Days] for letting Mia stay around in Salem longer than expected and for that I am grateful ... don't forget to tune-in to see how Mia will leave Salem. Looking forward to the next journey in my career."

 

Good luck, Taylor! We'll miss Mia around Salem, but look forward to seeing you on our TV screens again soon!

You are so right about Hope's role, it is very dumb. However, if she and Bo get back together I will stop watching...enough is enough. They were NOT meant to be together if they can't stay together...MOVE ON!!!

I total agree with you especially the Nicole character. The only way they can spin it is that she get caught up in her schemes right way and not draw them out for weeks. I would like to keep watching this soap, but it is getting hard.

I am glad to see Mia leaving. It was a hard role for her to play and like everyone else, I liked her at the beginning, but not so much anymore. I am glad to see EJ and Sami together. Sami really needs to be with one of the father's of her children. She doesn't need a new man in her life. Sami and EJ perfectly match with their personalities. Rafe, I'm sorry, but his character is soooooooooo BORING! I hope when Sami finds out about EJ's involvement in the kidnapping, she remains with him. After all, who is she to judge anyone. As for Brady and Arianna, I wish they would just get married and be done with it. Nicole just looks to old for Brady. Why would anyone be inlove with her, she is so devious, selfish, evil and always causing problems for everyone. Yes, please get Carly and Vivian off the show. I can't stand looking at Carly on the screen. She always looks confused. What is the deal with Hope? Is she anorexic? I wish they would have a girlfriend for Will, so he is not always whining about something. Chloe is beautiful , but flaky and gullible. I wish she would stop with the DAZED look. I still think Melanie is too immature and young for Phillip. She just doesn't fit the role of Phillip's wife. What is up with her FAKE laugh??? Drives me insane. Why did they change Stephanie's character from someone who was smart and independent to sad and desperate.Wow, such a dramatic change in just a short time. Finally, will Roman ever fall inlove? I just want to see at least one relationship last on the show, to set an example that marriages do last in real life. It's truly sad how everyone is always breaking up and sleeping with eachother.

First of all I am glad Mia is leaving she turned out to be a dissapointment. Secondly the Hope storyline is so dumb I can't watch, I have to fastforward through it. I am glad Nichole is back she keeps things going, my boy Rafe is so getting on my nerve he has turned out to be such a cry baby. I am finding myself enjoying Days more than Y&R which use to be my # 1 soap. I love Rafe but Days need to make him stronger after all he is a FBI agent.

I've been a Days fan since it first aired. Its the only soap I've ever watched and hope that it lives many more years. There are still stories to pursue with the younger cast members and bringing back old cast members has been especially interesting. They have a terrific cast, everyone is beautiful or handsome, they have great stylists, but the Sami, EJ story is getting old. Shift focus to another couple, add more mischief, and shake things up. In the end, the fans should do what ever is necessary to prevent Days from being canceled.

Please tell us what we can do to keep Days on the air. I have watched it since I was a 15 year old. Now I am 57. I don't know what I would do without it. NBC, I would probably become an Erica Kane fan I guess. Just like I became a OLTL and GH fan. Dante rocks.
