‘Days’ executive producer, Ken Corday said, “We look forward to approaching our 60th Anniversary next year with Paula and Jeanne Marie at the helm and fresh, exciting stories that we know the fans will embrace. We wish Ron nothing but the best and thank him for his dedication and the respect he has shown to me, the cast, and the show’s legacy.”

This is only the latest shakeup, last fall there was a surprising cast switch. Emily O’Brien took over Jen Lilley’s spot as Theresa Donovan for the rest of the soap season.
