NBC ‘Days of Our Lives’ (DOOL) spoilers say that while this sister and brother duo have certainly seen their fair share of drama and chaos in this fictional town of Salem, it’s looks like their story isn’t over yet. Actually, make that their storyline.
Even though initial reports had indicated that both Galen Gering (Rafe Hernandez) and Camila Banus (Gabi DiMera) were leaving the highly-rated NBC soap, it looks like both are coming back and sooner rather than later. Here’s what you need to know.
In a new interview with Soap Opera Digest, ‘Days of Our Lives’ head writer Ron Carlivati admits that while there were some decisions that happened at the time that were uncertain about the show’s renewal, it seemed as though both Rafe and Gabi would be exiting the canvas. Now that time has gone by, both are coming back.

Ron explains, “So what’s kind of great about that is that there was huge investment in Gabi and Stefan and thus, Gabi and Jake as his look-alike brother, and we didn’t get to delve too, too far into it but the audience has already seen that those sparks are there.
And now we have the great fortune to have Camila [Banus] coming back so as we write Gabi back onto the canvas, they’re not just going to pick up where they left off because a lot of things have happened to Jake’s life in the meantime, so the audience will have to wait and see how that unfolds.”
The head writer added, “And with Rafe, what’s interesting there is here he is a very solid presence of a hero on the show. A very needed thing when we have so many villains running around and often winning. Rafe’s exit was going to leave a big hole there. So Rafe comes back, obviously with a role in the police department, but life for Rafe will have changed in the meantime, too. By the time he comes back, Hope is not on the canvas so he’ll have to deal with that. There’s things that he doesn’t know, like what happened to Ciara while he was gone, so there’s a lot of information he’ll take in. We’re connecting him to other people, I don’t want to talk too much about it without giving story away, maybe reconnecting him with people he’s been involved with in the past. Pretty much, I’m talking on a friendship level right now but he’s an important, solid, grounding, presence on the canvas and people will be happy about his return.”
When asked by the publication how does it feel to be so close to air now, Ron replied with, “It really doesn’t change that much for me. The only thing that has sometimes been strange is just getting in that head space of it’s June and I’m writing winter.
But we don’t respond to real-life events, we’re not talking about who the President is, we don’t do that anyway, so wherever we are in time from the writing has generally not mattered that much. The difference is, it’s going to be on TV faster.
What’s better for me is sometimes when I’m watching the show, I’m like, “I forgot this because we wrote it nine months ago,” and maybe seeing the turnaround and getting to see it air faster will be nicer for me.”
