Question Why are Bell and Shawn leaving the show?? Theyre my favorite couple?
Answer Hi! Thanks for picking me!
Belle and Shawn are not leaving because they want to. They were called in and told that they're characters were being written off the show for now. If they got a reason, it wasn't shared publicly. DOOL makes this decision quite often really. Some characters end up coming back right away (Like John after this last time he died) because of backlash from Fans. If you are really upset you can send a letter to Days of Our Lives execs explaining how much Belle and Shawn contributed to the show and how the show will be lacking for you now that they are gone, etc. I would feel the same way if EJ left. I actually would be devastated. But don't worry, Bo and Hope left for awhile and took baby Shawn with them. And they came back. The thing with Days is you can never be sure that anyone will be off the show long.
I hope this is a little help and will ease your mind that they are likely NOT gone forever.
