Im surprised no ones posted about this yet, but according to Soapoperafan.com Days has let go Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn, and they will be reunited on screen, then written off for "an unknown amount of time".
CRAZY!

CRAZY! What is there to say? Huge f-ing mistake. They should have cut the actors playing Melanie, Stephanie, Max, Chloe, NuBrady, Philip (since he voluntarily left), Dr. Dan, and Rafe. If they were going to cut vets, it should have been Mary Beth Evans and Stephen Nichols who haven't been given a decent storyline since their return. To cut two of the icons of daytime from a show that has been circling the drain for quite some time serves no purpose but to allow die-hard fans like myself to slowly wean ourselves off a lifelong addiction before TIIC pull the plug for good. Why even renew for 18 months? Do they really think Higley is capable of writing storylines that will recruit enough new viewers to replace the ones they've just alienated? What a joke! Sorry...slightly pissed off about this news.

Yea i agree. Ive never been a huge John and Marlena fan, but cutting one of, if not the iconic couple from the show is going to piss off A LOT of people and i think was a mistake. Granted those two are probably the highest paid and letting them go freed up a ton of necessary $$, but then they keep ADDING new people...
And its not like they're adding newcomers-John Callahan and Sandra Ferguson are soap vets who probably cost a pretty penny.
I agree they could have kept Deidre and Drake and let go of some of the unnecessary characters they have on the show right now. Plus maybe if they have less characters to worry about the better the storylines will be.
Here's a little game.. Pretend the show could only keep 18 people, who would you choose for them to keep?

It's all about their budget. One day it will be only newbies who they can pay scale. It is sad to see Days go out with a wimper. Now we're hearing rumblings about Lauren. Hopefully none of it's true.
