Camila Banus To Exit Days of Our Lives

Camila Banus will exit her role as Gabi Hernandez DiMera on Days of Our Lives after 13 years. According to her interview with The Wrap, Banus opted to leave the Peacock drama and wrapped shooting on April 28th with her exit to come in the fall.

She said, “There’s definitely been a lot of changes at ‘Days,’ the last couple of years, one being moving to Peacock. Although it’s been wonderful and we’ve had a super great reception, for me, I felt like that was kind of like the initial start for changes happening in general. And I kind of just saw that as a sign for me to start the next chapter in my life

She also shared, “I was, honestly, open to renegotiating a certain type of shooting schedule where I would have a little bit more time off. But they didn’t go for it. And certain other factors that were involved that they didn’t go for. At first, it was just easy to say, ‘Well, if you can’t meet these demands, then I can’t,’ and move on with a new contract. But then, you know, I talked to producers and they had a call with me and they were like, ‘Well, what can we do?’ And I honestly, ‘I need to slow down. And part of that is, you know, you guys accepting this shooting schedule for me, and you won’t. So, you know, I have to respectfully bow out and say thank you, and that’s all I can do.”

As for what’s next, Banus noted that she and her husband are trying to have a baby and she is desirous of doing films. Read the full interview on The Wrap.
