Days of Our Lives Comings and Goings reveal a major shake-up in Salem. Tamara Braun is leaving the canvas, and her character Ava Vitali is making an emotional exit. After months of silence, the actress finally confirmed the news fans have been dreading.

Days of Our Lives Comings and Goings: Ava Vitali’s Final Airdate Confirmed

Tamara Braun recently took to Instagram with a heartfelt message. She confirmed Ava’s last day on the show is April 3. The actress admitted she wrapped filming long ago, back in late July. Braun kept quiet about her departure until now. But with Ava’s final scenes airing, she opened up. “It’s not an April Fool’s joke,” she wrote. “This is Ava’s last week.” She also thanked fans for their love and support during her run.

Tamara didn’t just say goodbye to fans—she praised the cast, too. She called her co-stars “a really good group of caring individuals.” It’s clear she enjoyed working on set. And judging by her behind-the-scenes video, they had a lot of laughs together. Braun shared a clip from her last days filming. She seemed genuinely emotional as she prepared to part ways with her DOOL family.

Ava Caught in the Crossfire

Ava’s exit comes at a dramatic time. Days of Our Lives spoilers say EJ DiMera will be shot on the same day Ava leaves. Coincidence? Probably not. Ava will be seen tossing a gun before her exit. It’s likely the same weapon Melinda Trask handed over. Will Ava be blamed for EJ’s shooting? The police are definitely on the hunt for answers.

In Salem, nobody’s really gone forever. Could Ava return? The door is never fully closed. Tamara didn’t confirm anything about a future comeback. But she did leave fans with a hopeful tone. Her final post included a thank-you and a heart emoji. Fans can rest easy knowing this may not be the end of Ava’s wild ride.
