Cary Christopher announced he’s leaving the show as Thomas after six years.

“Yes it is true 🙁 I left Days of our Lives several months ago because I booked a role as a series regular for a new show coming to Amazon Prime in 2026,” he said on Facebook.

“Days of Our Lives was such a dream set to work on. I started on this beloved soap when I was just 4. How lucky am I that I got to call it my home for almost 6 years!? I have been so blessed to always be busy working but because of that I couldn’t be in two places at once and I had to leave the show to go work on other projects,” he continued.

Cary Christopher as Thomas DiMera – LEAVING!

“I will always hold a lot of memories from being on Days and Billy Flynn and I got to share a nice goodbye. Billy– you were the best tv dad a kid could have. It always was so great working with you and learning from you. And thank you, Days fans!! You all are the best ❤️”

He added: “I can’t say where Thomas’s story leads, and I don’t know! so you’ll have to continue to tune in! I’m next on as Thomas DiMera on Oct 22nd and Oct 31st.”

“Next up for me- Weapons will begin streaming on HBO Max next week if you missed it in theaters! In two weeks you can catch me guest starring on Chicago Med. In 2026 / 2027: the live action series of Spider-Noir will be coming out, I’ll also be in Lanterns, and you can watch me as Justin in the family drama It’s Not Like That,” he added of future plans.
