Big changes are happening in Salem! The latest Days of Our Lives comings and goings confirm a surprising exit. Joy Wesley is leaving town, and fans are in shock over her sudden departure. Joy’s pregnancy had the potential to shake things up. Would she tell Alex the truth? Would she keep it a secret? Would she involve Philip in a scheme? None of these happened. Instead, Joy left Salem entirely.
Days of Our Lives: Joy Walks Away From Titan and Alex
Rather than face Alex, Joy packed her bags and quit Titan. Philip praised her work, but it wasn’t enough to keep her in town. She called her mom and revealed she was heading back to New York. Her reason? Body and Soul is gone, and her dreams of soap stardom are over. But what about her baby?
Fans expected Joy to play a bigger role, especially after her involvement with Johnny and Alex. However, Days of Our Lives has now confirmed that Joy’s time in Salem is over. A spokesperson told TV Insider, “We enjoyed having AlexAnn Hopkins bring Joy to life. It was a short yet important story arc, and we hope fans enjoyed watching it unfold.”
AlexAnn Hopkins joined the cast in November 2024, with Joy’s mother, Nancy, bringing her to Salem. Her exit seems abrupt, but there’s still a chance for a return. After all, she’s carrying Alex’s child and could be the next Kiriakis heir.
Fans recall a similar situation when Sarah ran off to Chicago while pregnant with Victoria. Eventually, she returned, and the truth came out. Could Joy follow the same path? Will she return with Alex’s child in the future? If she keeps the baby, her Salem connections make a return likely. For now, we bid farewell to Joy and AlexAnn Hopkins. Days of Our Lives Comings and Goings will keep fans updated on any future twists. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more updates!
