Who’s Going
Bold and Beautiful
Lisa Yamada (Luna Nozawa): It was revealed last week that Luna died after running into the street while trying to flee the law as well as many of the people in Los Angeles she had wronged, with a makeshift manhunt closing in on the double murderer after her prison escape. This brought Yamada’s Daytime Emmy-winning run, which began in September 2023, to a dramatic close. On her Instagram, Yamada paid homeage to her time on the show, writing, “so many tears shed, blood spilled, friendships formed, and memories made on @boldandbeautifulcbs. what a ride it’s been! hope you enjoyed the adventures <3 #LUNAtic4ever.” Among the co-stars replying to wish her well was Rebecca Budig, who wrote, “Wish I could have done more with you girl! They threw so much at you…so many words, so much emotion and you rocked it all. 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️.”
Days of Our Lives

Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady): Marlena’s (Deidre Hall) son checked on her after her medical episode at the University Hospital gala, and that appearance marked the end of the actor’s brief return. He will be heading to Beyond the Gates, though there’s still no official word on when his run will begin or who he will be playing.
General Hospital
Daniel Goddard (Professor Henry Dalton): The character was fatally shot by Sidwell (Carlo Rota), so after seven months on the soap, Goddard has wrapped his run.
