Why did Blake Berris leave Days of Our Lives?
Blake Berris wanted to focus on writing and producing.
Blake Berris’ exit from Days of Our Lives came amid a period of significant career changes and personal re-evaluation. According to Soaps, Berris initially distanced himself from acting to focus on writing and producing, including plans to direct a feature film. However, the disruptions caused by the writers’ strike made him reconsider his return to television.
Eager to rejoin the world of daytime TV, Berris launched a proactive effort to get back on the show. He worked closely with Deidre Hall and presented multiple storyline ideas to the show’s producers, all in an attempt to reinstate his character. In March or April, one of the show’s casting directors reached out to Berris with an opportunity to return for a 13-week stint. This engagement extended beyond the planned period, allowing him to stay on the show longer than initially expected.
