So far as we know, James Reynolds did not leave Days of Our Lives.
Although the confusion is quite surreal as Abe Carver was the first victim of serial killer Salem and was severely injured.
Many fans doubt that Carver could survive it and Days of Our Lives pays a heartfelt tribute on the show and off the show whenever a cast leaves.
All these coincided with the 40 year anniversary of Reynold on the show. The show honoured James with a special episode and special treatment outside the show and on the social media platform.
Fans could have mistaken this as his tribute to his departure now that his character is injured. Until there is any confirmation from the show’s executives, there is no correct answer as to if Reynolds is leaving the show. However, until now he is still on the show.
