NBC ‘Days of Our Lives’ (DOOL) spoilers finds that the polarizing role of Kristen DiMera was first introduced to Days of Our Lives in 1993. Initially played by Eileen Davidson, now Ashley Abbott on The Young and the Restless, Stacy Haiduk has since made herself comfortable in the roll. Just as her relationship with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) seems to be picking up steam, fans get the surprising news that Stacy Haiduk is leaving the daytime drama – and Kristen is leaving Salem.
According to Soap Opera Digest, the actress and the fan-favourite character plan to leave the show after Kristen and Brady successfully find Sarah Horton (Lindsey Godfrey) and Rachel Black (Josephine and Rosalind May). The family knows that they can’t go back to Salem after what happened with Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston), so rumour has it that she flees town with Rachel.
NBC ‘Days of Our Lives’ News: Stacy Haiduk Leaving Salem
For the past several years, producers have tried to rebuild Kristen’s character, after proving how selfish and unstable she was. She has been known to become obsessive over men, which poses a terrifying side to the fascinating character. Over the years, she was presumed dead and even stole an embryo out of Theresa Donovan’s (Jen Lilley) womb so she could carry the baby. Kristen has been the focal point of several scandals, and she hasn’t been the most-loved character – either by Salem residents or by DOOL fans.

Haiduk started with Days of Our Lives in 2017 and has played the role of Kristen since. Considering the circumstances, the exit makes sense. Unfortunately, the plotline seems to have driven Kristen’s fate in one direction. However, Brady will be left on his own yet again. With that being said, it is DOOL, after all. There’s no guarantee that Kristen won’t be making a comeback when fans least expect it. What do you believe will end up happening? Do you think this is the last we’ll see of Kristen?
