Both Deidre and Drake were both fired from the show, due to lack of money. NBC is going down the drain and ruined a once great show. They are now starting to bring back old characters, they are even bringing back Carly Manning, remember her? they already have Justin back on the show. The only entertaining thing about Days now is having Stefano back on. He was always one of my favorites. Him and Kristen, wish they would bring her back

Contrast that with some of the ABC soaps, like Susan Lucci on AMC has agreed to pay cuts. I believe Days is the last soap on NBC (now with Guiding Light gone on CBS, they're down to two). I never saw the Carly Manning character (I didn't watch the show for 20 years, from about '84 until '04 or later). I still remember old Dr. Horton, and his character's widow, the almost 95-year old Frances Reid, is still listed as the star of "Days", even though I haven't seen her pop up in quite some time (at least since they "killed off" the main characters and abducted them to some island made to resemble the town - weird stuff).
