“Days of Our Lives” fans are a loyal bunch. Many have been watching the soap opera for several decades. At times, watching the sudser has even become a family tradition.
Of course, these diehard fans have also seen so many character recasts over the years. Some have been excellent. However, others have been less than thrilling.Philip Kiriakis is a legacy character that “DOOL” fans have come to know well over the years.
As the son of Victor Kiriakis and Kate Roberts, viewers were thrilled when Philip was aged into a teenager. Actor Jay Kenneth Johnson took on the role, becoming part of Salem’s teen scene with the likes of Belle Black, Shawn Brady, and Mimi Lockhart. However, a few years later, actor Kyle Brandt stepped into the part in 2001.Fans weren’t exactly thrilled with Brandt’s work at Philip, and after he exited “Days of Our Lives” in 2008, he never returned.
Johnson did return. However, when he was unavailable, soap actor Jean-Paul Lavoisier tackled the role, giving many much better Philip vibes.Christie Clark is Carrie Brady. The actress had been playing the role off and on since she was a child.
However, in 1991 the soap opera opted to recast the character with actress Tracy Middendorf. Although the star was a very accomplished actress, she wasn’t a great fit for the role of Carrie, and fans weren’t happy with the switch-up.Eventually, Clark returned to “Days of Our Lives.” Carrie went on to have plenty of big storylines with the love of her life, Austin Reed. She also engaged in a decades-long feud with her younger sister, Sami Brady.#OnThisDay in 2004, Charity Rahmer assumed the role of Belle Black #Phelle #Days pic.twitter.com/TEMi4yA3fp— ThoseWereTheDAYS (@Daysofour_Lives) July 19, 2021Kirsten Storms made
