Over the years, since Days began, actors/characters have left the show, some quite well, others without a word. The good, bad, the ugly. So let's talk oi how Days writes out characters.
We do have the infamous "Don going out to mail a letter" and never seen again.....along with Dr. Neil Curtis going on rounds at the hospital, never to return.
So, who left with a good story/reason, and whose departure was a disgrace, in your opinion.
When I first began watching Days, there was no Hope, and Bo was being played by Robert Kelker Kelly. But I will offer a few....though I have opinions on many.
Steven "Patch" Johnson.........he was severely injured in a rigged boat explosion intended for his best friend, Bo. Ultimately he died int he hospital, but not before we saw someone injecting a drug into his IV, and later, at his funeral, we saw his coffin being switched. Anticipation was the name of the game thereafter, and tho it took 15 years...it came to pass.
And Patch returned, to lousy story, and then, is last seen visiting wife Kayla int he hospital. They both just vanish. Huge thumbs down.
Baby Chelsea is born dead, buried in a Georgia swamp, but turns up a few years later as a teen. After donating part of her pancreas to her dying father, Bo, she decides to go to London to care for mom, Billie, who was in bad auto accident. (o.k.)
Max Brady, who disappeared into the attic as a kid, returns as a super race car driver, but turns auto mechanic/bartender, romances Chelsea, and eventually leaves for London to join her, and become a doctor!!!! (O.K.)
Kayla leaves town after Steve dies, to L.A. to be near sis Kim and evidently goes back to med school and becomes a doctor. Bad story prior to leaving, but good excuse.
