Sad News: Ava says goodbye, Tamara Braun officially leaves DOOL – Days of our lives News
You need to be wary of most things you read on the internet on April 1, but unfortunately, this one is true — Tamara Braun is leaving Days of Our Lives and her final episode is coming up in a couple of days!
“I wish this was an April Fool’s Joke, but it’s not,” she shared on Instagram with a video of her posing with some of her co-stars.
“This is Ava’s last week on DAYS. Last couple of days, really. Sad, but true. I’ve been gone since late July of last year, but you can still catch Ava on your screens until April 3rd!”
Braun made her daytime debut taking over the role of Carly Corinthos on General Hospital in 2001 and playing the character until 2005.
In 2008, she joined the cast of DAYS as Ava Vitali for a six-month run that earned her a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress. She then went on to play Reese Williams on All My Children from 2008-09.
In 2011, she took over the role of Taylor Walker on DAYS, then returned to Salem again as Ava from 2015-16. Braun then went back to GH, but this time as a new character, Kim Nero.
Before her exit in 2019, she had received another Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress.
In 2020, it was revealed that Ava wasn’t dead and Braun went back to DAYS for another run, which took a brief pause in 2022 when Ava was committed to Bayview, but resumed in 2023 and is now, sadly, coming to an end.
“I miss being with my DAYS pals,” Braun declared. “They are a really good group of caring individuals, and being with them was a joy. Thanks for all the love, kindness, and support during Ava’s latest Salem stint.”
So it looks like Ava’s relationship with Brady isn’t going to go anywhere after all. And with the spoilers for the week showing that a whodunit is kicking off when EJ is shot, it’s an unusual time for Ava to take off, since she would be one of the prime suspects.
Of course, as we’ve seen in the past, not even death can keep Ava down, so she may just pop back up again in Salem when you least expect it! Stay tuned!
