Recent Daytime Emmy Award winner Olivia Rose Keegan has reportedly wrapped her return stint as Claire Brady and will exit the canvas next week. The NBC soap is rumored to have recast the character with actress Isabel Durant.

Get ready to say goodbye to yet another Days of our Lives actor. Olivia Rose Keegan (Claire Brady), who won this year's Daytime Emmy Award in the Outstanding Younger Performer category, is said to be exiting the canvas later this month.

Keegan just recently returned to Salem on June 2, when Claire asked to be released from Bayview. Prior to that, the character had been mostly absent from the canvas following Keegan's departure from the NBC series in 2019.

Keegan's exit news isn't a huge surprise. She told Soap Central earlier this year that while she was happy to have reprised the role of Claire, she was having a blast delving into other opportunities.

"It's been really fun to jump into other auditions and have time to dive into the craft again, into my craft again," she revealed.

In addition to acting, Keegan has also been making music. In 2018, Keegan dropped a summer single called "Just My Type"

As for when fans can expect to say goodbye to the Emmy-winning actress, Soaps reports that Keegan's final airdate will be Monday, August 10. However, viewers might not have to say goodbye to the character. Word on the street is that DAYS has plucked actress Isabel Durant to take over the role of Claire when the series resumes production in September.

Durant is an Australian actress with credits that include This Is Us, Life Itself, Mako Mermaids, Dance Academy, Camp, and Reef Doctors.
