THE SCOOP

With her character being sent away to Bayview Sanitarium following her recent dirty deeds, including attempted murder and planting a bomb at Susan’s memorial service, Tamara Braun’s run as Ava Vitali on “Days of our Lives” has come to an end. The actress last appeared on the Tuesday, December 20 episode of the Peacock series.

On Instagram, Braun shared numerous behind the scenes photos from her final taping day on set, captioning the post, saying, “ Hey all you Days fans!! If you want to see Ava off, tune into DOOL today for her last day in Salem.” She added, “Thanks for all the love and support you continue to show me. I will miss you all!!” She concluded her post by informing fans that she’ll still be accessible via the social media platform.

Braun first joined the “Days of our Lives” cast in 2008 as Ava before later moving on to take on the role of Reese Williams on “All My Children” that same year. She returned to “DAYS” in 2011, this time playing a recast Taylor Walker. She again reprised the Ava role from 2015-2016; and finally in 2020 before wrapping her run with today’s episode. Braun made her daytime debut in 2001, taking over the role of Carly Corinthos on “General Hospital.” She returned to “GH” in 2017 when she took on the newly created role of Kim Nero. Departing in 2019, Braun won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal in 2020. She previously won in the same category for her portrayal of Ava in 2009.
