It’s never easy saying goodbye, especially when you’ve developed such a close work connection with another person.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Cherie Jimenez Opens Up About Losing Brandon Barash

And that’s probably what Days of Our Lives actress Cherie Jimenez (Gabi DiMera) is thinking to herself as she recently opened up about actor Brandon Barash, who played Stefan DiMera, leaving the show. 

As many DOOL fans know, after Vivian and Ivan made it look like Stefan left Salem for good, Gabi had no choice but to sign her divorce papers.

Cherie put it this way to the publication, “Obviously, there is some sadness on a personal level, because Brandon has just been so wonderful and I started this experience with him from the day of my screen test.”

“But with every storyline I get, I trust that the writers know what’s best and are taking it in the direction that they’re taking it, because it’s going to turn into something that is going to lead somewhere else.”

“So at the end of the day, that’s that. With that said, me personally, I feel like I only got so much time to really grow within [the Stefan-Gabi] relationship. As our chemistry started to flow really well, they kind of took it away. They ended it.”

When asked if she got to say good-bye to Brandon on his last day on the set of Days of Our Lives, Cherie recalled, “A couple of the cast members that were working that day went to Forman’s [Whiskey Tavern], which is a little bar down the street.”

“So he had a little good-bye party. It was nice to get together with some of the cast, have some drinks, celebrate him and his time here, and wish him well off into everything. We did have a good-bye after [our last scene together].”

She added, “I didn’t expect to cry, but all the emotions just came rushing in. Afterwards I had to gather myself, because I still felt all those emotions. A lot of it was not just Gabi and Stefan.”

It goes without saying that Days of Our Lives fans will simply have to tune in each and every day to find out what will happen next.
