Days of our Lives has lost a member of its writing staff. Co-head writer Christopher Whitesell is out, but that doesn't necessarily mean that daytime viewers have seen or heard the last of him.

A Days of our Lives spokesperson confirms that Whitesell, who was named co-head writer in 2008, is no longer with the show. The NBC soap has reportedly not yet decided if a new co-head writer will be named to work alongside Dena Higley.
