Why did Nadia Bjorlin leave Days of Our Lives? Explained

Actress Nadia Bjorlin was part of the cast of Days of Our Lives as Chloe Lane. The character was introduced in 1999 after being in an orphanage for several years. She managed to meet her biological mother, Nancy Wesley and tried to sort through the issues in their mother-daughter relationship.

Chloe went through a tough time during her childhood and teenage years, even facing bullies at her school. She ended up falling for Philip Kiriakis, with whom she was in an on-and-off relationship over the years.

In 2023, Chole, who experienced heartbreak with Xander, got back together with Phillip, and the two decided to move to New York. This also marked the end of Nadia Bjorlin's time on the show, as her character left town.

Chloe got married thrice on the soap, with one marriage annulled and the other two ending in divorce. She shares a child named Parker with her ex, Daniel Jonas. She is also the surrogate mother to Holly Jonas, who is Nicole's daughter.

What were the plot dynamics when Nadia Bjorlin left Days of Our Lives and her character Chloe?

Nadia Bjorlin made her exit from the soap in October 2023. At the time, Xander had a baby with Sarah. In the past, Chloe took breaks to move out of town to heal from heartbreak, and many fans suspected that the character would take the same route once more.

However, this time, Chloe did not leave Salem by herself. After the heartbreak she faced with Xander, she found solace with her past flame, Philip Kiriakis. Gauging her feelings for him, Chloe asked Philip to move away with her and start a new life away from town.

This marked the point where Nadia Bjorlin and her co-star John-Paul Lavoisier both left the soap. Neither of the characters appeared on the show again to date. However, since the writers have not clarified whether this was a permanent exit for the characters, and given the recurring nature of Days of Our Lives, fans hope to see Chloe and Philip return either briefly or significantly at some point in the future.
