4 MORE STARS OUT!!! 2 MORE TO GO!!!

As previously reported, 6 more exits were expected at Days this week. 4 were expected on the Monday June, 19, 2006 episode and two more reportedly happen tomarrow. Here is the latest exits that occured on the June 19, 2006 episode:

Alice Horton (Francis Reid): Quite possibly the most shocking death/exit of all. The actress had been "killed" off in 2004 by her very own donuts but was revealed alive like many other beloved characters in the SSK plot. This time, however, she met her maker for real by poisoned coffee. Insiders report she will still make appearances on holidays and the like as a angel. Reid took the news in stride and was happy to still be a part of the show in some capacity. Reid was the last original cast member and began her run on the show 40 years ago with the show's first episode in 1965.

Mickey Horton (John Clarke): The actor, who returned in May for a limited run to tie up loose ends after John Ingle (who replaced Clarke in the role) left, is out. The show decided to write out the character permanently and brought Clarke back to close things out. It is said that this is also being done to free up the character of Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) for a new storyline in the works. Clarke retired from the show previously in 2004 and the character of Mickey has been a presence on the show since it began in 1965.

Max Brady (Darin Brooks): This exit came as a shock as the actor was well-received and well-liked. He was also in a relationship with Chelsea Brady (Rachel Melvin). It is not known why Brooks was axed other then show insiders maintaining they want to focus on a much smaller cast.

Philip Kiriakis (Kyle Brandt): This exit was expect as Bradnt had announced his exit a few weeks ago. It is shocking nonetheless as many thought the show may bring back Jay Johnson to reprise the role or recast the role yet again since the character is embroiled in the Cliare paternity story. However, two of the major players in that story (Shawn and Mimi Brady) are already out so that may have played a role in killing the character off. It is said this will lead to major story for Belle (Martha Madison) and Victor (John Aniston). Brandt's voice was last heard on the phone with Victor on the June 16, 2006 episode as that was his last official airdate.

Fans should expect two exits tomarrow to wind down the end of the casting exodus. Now the question is why keep who is left? What happens to who is left? Who may return? All those questions and more will be answered soon. Show insiders assure fans to just hang in there as their patience will be rewarded.
