Days of Our Lives news shows that the former head writer Ron Carlivati's departure from the Peacock soap has finally been explained. 

The reason behind his firing by his former boss, Ken Corday was due to a plotline that was written that fans really don't like. 

NBC's decision to shift the long-running soap to their Peacock streaming platform in fall of 2022 led to an increase of 2 million subscribers, largely credited to the popularity of Days of Our Lives. 

Despite the success, the show faced significant losses with the passing of actors Bill Hayes and Drake Hogestyn earlier this year. Carlivati's work will continue to air until April 2025, including his last major storyline, the tribute to Bill Hayes' character Doug Williams. However, the much-disliked soap within a soap, "Body and Soul," will not continue. 

The decision to discontinue this storyline is believed to be a contributing factor to Carlivati's departure. With the appointment of two new female head writers, Corday hopes to shift the focus of the show towards more realistic interpersonal stories and away from what he termed as "science fiction."
