Brandon Barash Wraps Run As Days's Stefan

Brandon Barash’s run as DAYS’s Stefan comes to an end after the character is shot by Lani and is taken off life support. “It’s the nature of the beast, right?” notes the actor. “Nothing’s permanent. I always say the only thing permanent about life is impermanence.”

Barash, who was hired in September 2018 after Tyler Christopher’s (ex-Stefan) sudden exit, and made his debut in March 2019, points out that he never expected to be in Salem as long as he was. “I knew when I took over the role, I was only supposed to be there a couple weeks or a month, maybe two months the most,” he recalls. “It ended up being six or seven. I was very grateful for the time I had there. They just said they’re moving on with the character and the storyline. No ego here. I didn’t take it personally. I was just grateful for the time that we had.”
