LUCAS ADAMS EXITS DAYS

Lucas Adams is out as Tripp, marking the second time he’s been written off of DAYS, which makes the move a lot easier.

“I was definitely more prepared for it,” admits the actor, noting that the news both “surprised” and “didn’t surprise” him at the same time.

“I didn’t know where my character was going, especially when [the Allie/Tripp/ Chanel triangle] was over,” Adams explains. “And 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.”

Fortunately for Adams and viewers, he’ll get to do just that in the upcoming Peacock special, DAYS: BEYOND SALEM. The actor was approached about participating in the spin-off shortly after wrapping things up on the main soap. “That was a big surprise. I hadn’t even thought about it,” says Adams. “It was only a couple of months after I ended DAYS, so it was like I never really left. I was really excited because I love everybody there. I was pumped to get to come back.”
