Days of Our Lives Spoilers: All About Tate’s Switch

Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Eric says that both her and his co-star Emily O’Brien, who plays Theresa on the show, were shocked but not surprised that Jamie was leaving. He put hit this way, “Jamie had made it very known that he was interested in being a college student at University of Michigan, and that that was a priority for him. Because his storyline was taking off the way it did, he just wasn’t going to be able to make it work with the schedule. So [leaving was] for no other reason than he just couldn’t do both.”

That said, Eric said that he did try to convince Jamie to stay with Days of Our Lives, even though he knew that he would have to juggle a few busy schedule as both an actor and a student. He said, “I said, ‘You don’t need a degree in musical theater or theater. You’ve got a job right now. This is the best training you can get.’ But he wants the college experience, and I completely got that. So we did what we do on soaps. We found another actor, and I’m happy to say he’s not only good, he’s terrific.”
