Days of Our Lives is losing a main cast member - but the soap already has plans to recast the role. Al Calderon's time as Javi Hernandez has come to an end, according to Deadline. The actor, 31, who played the role since 2024, is moving over to NBC's Brilliant Minds. As a result, Calderon will be recast after the rest of his episodes air in May 2026. "We do not comment on the contract status of our actors, but fans should not worry," reps for Days of Our Lives told the outlet on Wednesday, July 30, about bringing in someone new to play the fan-favorite character.
