BROOKS SAYS BYE BYE TO HIS 'LIFE IN SALEM'

After the shocking episode on Friday aired, revealing Peter Blake died from being shot by Crystal Galore, it is being revealed that Jason Brooks has been fired from LIS! Brooks starred as Peter on "Days" from 1993-1996, then 1996-1997, and he came on LIS in early 2008. Peter returned for his father Stefano DiMera's funeral(when Renee and Elvis faked his death), and ended up sticking around in Salem. During the course of the past several weeks, Stefano and Kate have been plotting revenge on Tony(for raping Kristen and nearly killing Kate as Vince) and hired Crystal Galore, former criminal and the grandmother of Will Robert's daughter Arianna, for her to kill Tony in exchange for Stefano influencing the courts to give her back Arianna. However, Vivian(who wanted to get back at Peter for helping Valentine and Celeste crush her at the fashion show), lured him down to the pier where Crystal accidentally shot him.

"I feel that Peter's potential on the show was just running out, so we decided to send him off in a huge way." Tara Smith said "Also, I'd like to send a big shoutout to Roman for writing the EXCELLENT scene where the DiMeras discovered he died during surgery."

Brooks shall last air this week.
