Thank you to Sharon Case [Sharon] and the rest of the cast for their craft, support, and professionalism … The show has been number one and continues to be because of the incredible work ethic and passion from its leadership, cast, production, and crew.

Of course, many of his fans have commented on the matter with, “He needs to go back to Days ASAP. EIther as Dario or another character, maybe one of Justins other sons? There is so many people to pair with him on Days and lots of potential. He could be both villian and hero. He shouldnt have been taken off Days in the first place,” along with, “I never cared for the character. But I’m surprised that they are getting rid of him right when they are starting to pair him with Chelsea. Sharon will get back with Nick but what about Chelsea? Maybe Missy might be on her way out too. I hope that’s not the case.”
Another fan wrote, “I guess they are setting up a Shick reunion. Honestly, they belong together anyhow. I just wish this hot man didn’t have to be a casualty in all of it. He needs a storyline.”

Ray needs to stay and stop bringing people back from the dead. Storyline is stupid bringing back Diane
I would have liked Ray to have stayed. Better writing would have given him more interesting things to do.
I hate to see Jordie leaving. He’s fantastic and much loved!! ❤
