Is Holly Leaving Days of Our Lives?

Could Holly (Ashley Puzemis) be leaving Days of Our Lives?

Soap fans are buzzing — and not just over the usual Salem chaos. Lately, a new question has been taking center stage: Is Holly Jonas, played by Ashley Puzemis, about to leave Days of Our Lives?

Let’s break it down.

When Did Ashley Puzemis Join DOOL?

Ashley Puzemis joined the cast as a SORAS’d (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) version of Holly Jonas in October 2023. It was part of a teen scene refresh that also introduced Jamie Martin Mann as Tate Black. Holly had been on the show since 2016, but this recast gave her a more central role in Salem’s younger generation.

Fast forward a year, and things have gotten dramatic.

The last few weeks have seen Holly spiraling hard. Her relationship with Tate fell apart after he betrayed her trust — remember when he went to Julie with the truth about that whole Doug III necklace mess? Yeah, not great.

On top of that, Holly’s been making questionable choices: drinking, skipping responsibilities, and there was even a fire in her dorm room. Yikes.

But here’s the kicker — in episodes airing the week of October 6–10, 2025, Holly is seen making plans to leave Salem, possibly for good. There are hints that she might go to France to live with her mom, Nicole. That certainly sounds like a classic soap exit strategy.

Wait... Is She Actually Leaving?

Here’s where things get interesting. Despite all the clues pointing to Holly's departure, there’s also reason to believe she’s not going anywhere — at least not permanently.

1. She’s in the 60th Anniversary Promo

Ashley Puzemis confirmed that she participated in a special 60th anniversary photo shoot for the show, which airs November 8, 2025. That’s pretty soon. If she were written off entirely, would they have included her in that? Unlikely.

So… Is She Leaving or Not?

Here’s the speculative part (because hey, what’s a soap without a little guessing?): Holly might be leaving Salem temporarily — maybe to cool off, go to rehab, or just reset her life a bit. But the odds of a permanent exit? Pretty low, in our opinion.
