There was scuttlebutt that Casey Moss was leaving his role as JJ Deveraux on Days of Our Lives after the actor was a no-show at last year’s annual Day of DAYS event. Now, there are reports that the actor is wrapping up his stint as Jack and Jennifer’s son next month during February sweeps.

Soaps.com reports that Moss will be leaving the show in February. Viewers have learned in the recent ‘time jump’ explanation episodes that Casey lost his girlfriend Haley (Thia Megia), who went to that great soap in the sky after struggling with Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) in the stairwell.

This is the second loss JJ has endured; his other girlfriend, Paige (True O’Brien), was murdered by serial killer Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson), now reformed. JJ’s other love interests include Gabi (Camila Banus) and Lani (Sal Stowers).

Moss joined DAYS in May 2013. JJ got tongues wagging when he embarked on a scandalous affair with Paige’s mother Eve (Kassie DePaiva). The actor scored a Daytime Emmy nomination in the category of Outstanding Younger Leading Actor in 2018 for the storyline in which JJ, then a rookie cop, shot Theo (Kyler Pettis).

In heartbreaking scenes, a suicidal JJ nearly took his own life, anguished over his actions. Later, JJ helped save Haley from her own suicide attempt and the show went on to tell a story about immigration with Haley and her mother, Melinda Trask, Salem’s assertive district attorney, played by Laura Kai Chen.

JJ quit the police force and became a paramedic. He brought Adrienne (Judi Evans) to the hospital the night of the fatal crash, which was revealed in the recent ‘time jump’ explanation episodes.

At press time, Moss had not either confirmed or denied the reports of his exit on social media.k local listings for air times.

I hate to see him go...

[doolfan4life]

I’m ok with this
He’s hardly ever on anyways and he’s not my favorite actor or character if I’m being totally honest
If we could keep him and keep stefan gone I’d take it but that clearly will never happen

I thought this had already been announced long ago - like when the time jump news came out. Maybe those were just rumors. Anyway, it’s not surprising but it is too bad. He may be back soon enough. You never know.

Sad. I feel the writers never used JJ to his full potential. He should have been the focus of major storylines, like Abby was. If it's true he's leaving, I hope he returns like so many actors do. He was a favorite of mine, a bright light on the show, and I'll miss him.

It is now confirmed.. darn!

I'm so sad about this.

There is a spoiler that there will be an unexpected death in February. If they kill JJ off I'm going to be very upset.

At least he still gets the stories he deserves in my fanfiction.

[André DiMera]

Same here, heroicmuse! This sucks! I really hope he’s not one of the characters that gets killed off, but it sucks that he’s leaving, either way.

I’m glad to know J.J. will still be around in Breaking Ties!

[ProudTVJunkie]

Unfortunately, the show never gave this character the storylines he deserved. Casey and Matt Ashford have great chemistry together and it's a shame that so much of their screen time was wasted on that horrible immigration story.

I wish Casey Moss nothing but success.

I really hate to see Casey go. There were so many potential storylines that could have been explored had they written it correctly and used Casey to his full potential.
