On Wednesday, June 15, actor Lucas Adams will wrap his latest run as Tripp Dalton on “Days of our Lives.” His exit is storyline dictated.

In an exit interview with Soap Opera Digest, on newsstands now, Adams told the publication he was both surprised and not surprised by the character’s departure. “I was definitely more prepared for it,” he noted, “I didn’t know where my character was going, especially when [the Allie/Tripp/Chanel triangle] was over.” Explaining further, he shared that “Tripp was mostly the third wheel, so it totally made sense storyline-wise. But it did surprise me, because we just had that whole storyline of Tripp dying and being brought back [to life]. I guess Tripp is not someone who sticks around all the time. He needs to stretch his wings every now and then.”

Despite the character’s planned exit from Salem after saying his goodbyes to his mother and father, Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Ava (Tamara Braun), among others, viewers shouldn’t be surprised when they see the actor playing the role again in Chapter 2 of “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem,” the Peacock exclusive spinoff series which premieres next month with five all-new episodes.

Considering the mothership series tapes anywhere from four to six months ahead of air date, and “Beyond Salem” wrapped production early last month after a few weeks of taping, the time gap will be short for viewers but not for Adams. “It was only a couple of months after I ended ‘DAYS,’ so it was like I never really left,” the actor said of reprising the role on the streaming-only series. “I was really excited, because I love everybody there. I was pumped to get to come back.”

Chapter 2 of “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem” premieres Monday, July 11 on Peacock. Episodes will drop daily through Friday, July 15.

Adams joined the cast of “Days of our Lives” in 2017. In addition to Chapter 2 of “Beyond Salem,” he’s also played the role of Tripp Dalton on “Days of our Lives: A Very Salem Christmas,” the first Christmas movie in the franchise which was released in 2021 and is currently available to stream exclusively on Peacock. 

Prior to joining the soap, Adams appeared in multiple episodes of the Disney Channel series “Liv and Maddie” from 2015-2017. The actor has also appeared in episodes of “School of Rock,” “True Blood,” “The Thundermans” and Dexter,” among others. More recently, Adams had a role in the latest film in the “American Pie” series, “American Pie Presents: Girls’ Rules.” The movie was released in 2020.

    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
