Peyton Meyer's time on Days of Our Lives is over - but how did Doug's story wrap up? The Friday, July 25, episode of Days of Our Lives concluded Doug III's journey in Salem. He previously promised that he would leave town if Tate (Leo Howard) helped him pay off the loan shark so that Holly (Ashley Puzemis) and Ari (Marissa Reyes) could go free. Doug kept his word and after one final conversation with Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes), he left Salem for good. Meyer's exit came less than a year after the actor joined the soap. In December 2024, Meyer, 26, was introduced as Doug Sr.
