That didn’t seem like it could be it for Chloe’s little sister after all she’d gotten mixed up in, from her and Johnny’s near infidelity to moving on with Alex only to get dumped for Stephanie. But, it looks like it is. TV Insider shares that Days of Our Lives has confirmed that this is it for Joy and portrayer AlexAnn Hopkins. Per the site, a show spokesperson shared, “We enjoyed having AlexAnn bring the character of Joy to life, it was a short yet important story arc, and we hope the fans enjoyed watching it unfold.”
The actress has been with the show since November of 2024, when Nancy brought her youngest to Salem to get her into showbusiness. And while Joy’s exit seemed to come out of nowhere, we’d be surprised if this was the last we’ve seen of her. After all, she is carrying Alex’s baby and the next generation of Kiriakises.
Sarah pulled something similar when she was pregnant with Victoria and didn’t want Xander to know. She ran off to Chicago and was off-screen for awhile, until inevitably coming back home to have the baby and reunite with Xander.
