Recent rumors suggest that Telfer may be exiting the show. A social post allegedly from the actor claimed that he was leaving the show. However, the post also requests 1000 “YES” comments from fans who want him to stay on DOOL.
The soap opera did announce a few cast shakeups this month with the upcoming return of Melissa Reeves and other alums for a tribute planned for late actor Bill Hayes. With the rumors that fan-favorites Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell weren’t asked back, could DOOL lose another fan-favorite with Paul Telfer’s exit?
The alleged social media post announcing Paul Telfer’s departure was posted on Twitter. The fan who posted it advised others that the post was fake. Paul Telfer responded to the fake post from his real Twitter account.
“Please know that I would never announce anything like this on social media – especially with such poor grammar,” he assured DOOL fans.

One relieved viewer replied, “You are one of my favorites. I hope you stay a long, long time!”
Days of Our Lives fans can rest easy knowing that Xander isn’t going anywhere any time soon. And if the day comes when the actor does leave the show, he will make a more official announcement instead of a poorly written social media post.
