Just when Salem couldn’t get any hotter — a veteran star sets the record straight in the most jaw-dropping way possible. Rumors have been swirling, fans have been panicking, and social media’s been on fire with one burning question: Is Josh Taylor leaving Days of Our Lives?

Today, we have the answer. And it’s going to make your heart sing.

💥 “I’m Having Way Too Much Fun” — Josh Taylor SLAMS Retirement Rumors

In a heartfelt, defiant statement that has set the daytime TV world ablaze, Josh Taylor — the man, the myth, the Roman Brady — finally spoke out.

“My high school friends kept asking me, ‘Are you going to retire?’” Taylor laughed. “And I just told them, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m having way too much fun.’”

That’s right — the 81-year-old soap legend is going nowhere. Despite whispers that he might step back from the show, Taylor has made it crystal clear: he’s not finished, not slowing down, and certainly not retiring.

🙏 Fans REJOICE: “Save Roman Brady” Campaign Ends in Victory!

For weeks, Days devotees had noticed a shift — fewer scenes, more ominous pauses, and then… the bombshell: Roman Brady’s gun found at the scene of the Who Shot EJ mystery. Fans feared the worst — that this was a curtain call for their beloved Roman.

The hashtag #SaveRomanBrady trended on X. Fan forums exploded with tribute reels. Viewers were already mourning what felt like an inevitable goodbye.

Now? That heartbreak has turned to hope.

🎭 Roman Brady: Framed or Foe? The Mystery Gripping Salem

While Taylor’s staying, Roman’s troubles are far from over. The Who Shot EJ drama has thrown the former police chief back into the action — and into the crosshairs of one of Salem’s biggest scandals.

EJ DiMera, scheming scion of the powerful DiMera clan, was gunned down in cold blood. When Roman’s gun was found at the scene, Salem gasped. Could the steady-handed pub owner actually be a killer? Or is someone framing the man who’s upheld justice for decades?

Each episode peels back more secrets. Each scene builds more tension. And through it all, Taylor delivers performances that critics are calling “career-defining.”

🔥 “I’m Just Getting Started” — Taylor Proves He’s Still Got It

Whether Roman’s comforting family at Brady’s Pub or facing down detectives in a chilling interrogation room, Josh Taylor shows no signs of fatigue. If anything, he’s sharper, deeper, and more passionate than ever.

“Every day is a new challenge,” he told TV Days Drama Digest. “You never know what’s coming next, and that keeps it exciting. I’m 81, but I feel like I’m just getting started.”

💖 A Legacy of Loyalty: 47 Years of Salem Magic

Let’s not forget: Taylor’s Days of Our Lives journey didn’t begin with Roman Brady. Back in 1977, he entered Salem as Chris Kositchek — a lovable, hard-working bartender with a smile that could heal broken hearts. For 10 years, he poured drinks, offered wisdom, and made Doug’s Place feel like home.

Then, in 1997, Taylor transformed — returning not as Chris, but as Roman Brady, the stalwart cop with a heart of gold. It was one of the boldest recasts in soap history… and it worked. Twenty-seven years later, Taylor’s Roman remains the moral compass of Salem — even as he’s pulled into a murder mystery that could cost him everything.

🚀 What’s Next? Mentoring, More Drama, and… a Return to Chris Kositchek?

While Roman remains his primary role, Taylor hasn’t ruled out exploring other creative paths — like mentoring young actors or revisiting Chris Kositchek in special flashback episodes.
