This 'Days of Our Lives' Legacy Character Is Set To Exit This Week as Fans Blast The 'Shocking' Timing Of His Exit
Days of Our Lives star Michael Roark's final air date has reportedly been revealed, with his current storyline set to reach a turning point sooner than some viewers may have expected.
According to Soap Opera Digest, Roark's last appearance is scheduled to air on Wednesday, April 29.
While exact details surrounding Jeremy's exit remain under wraps, spoilers indicate Jeremy may misread a moment involving Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) whom he has been reconnecting with in recent weeks.
In the weekly promo for Days of Our Lives, Jeremy is seen having a conversation with Stephanie on a bench, and leans in to give her a kiss.
Roark debuted on the soap on October 3, 2025, when Jeremy Horton returned to Salem. During his run, Jeremy reconnected with relatives including Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) and his father Mike Horton (Roark Critchlow), while also clashing with ex-girlfriend Stephanie (Klien) and her husband Alex Kriakis (Robert Scott Wilson).
At one point, Jeremy was suspected of stalking Stephanie. However, the story later revealed the real culprit was Owen Kent, played by former General Hospital star Wes Ramsey.
Owen later kidnapped both Jeremy and Stephanie before ultimately being caught and arrested.
Fans React
Fans have already begun reacting online to the reported exit news. One user on X wrote, "I'm wondering why they are writing Jeremy out NOW when this is exactly when he's needed. He and Stephanie have a legit connection, Alex will soon be preoccupied with his baby. This is the kind of stuff that writes itself. #Days"
Another viewer added, "Michael Roark out here doing the lords work."
Others echoed similar comments, praising Roark's chemistry with Klein and questioned the timing of Jeremy's exit.
Outside of Days of Our Lives, Roark also stars in Black Dagger Brotherhood, which was recently renewed for a second season.
According to IMDb, Roark's screen career began with an appearance on Drop Dead Diva in 2010. Soap fans may also remember him as Travis Crawford on The Young and the Restless in 2016.
