Unfortunately, the post explained that the episode had already aired. As the post explained, “Some additional sad news to report…Drake Hogestyn’s final episode as John Black aired on September 9.”

As the post read, “I got the sad confirmation from ‘Days’ tonight that Drake Hogestyn’s final episode as John Black has already aired, on Monday, September 9. His final scene was with Eric Martsolf (Brady) and Leo Howard (Tate) at the Townhouse.”

“Tate updates John that Holly has yet to read his text. John: ‘She will. And I am sure that she’s going to take you up on it when she is ready.’ Brady opens the door. John’s last line of dialogue (to Brady) is: ‘Does this mean that…’ Brady tells John that Justin has dropped all the charges. John happily laughs and hugs Brady.”

Rest in peace Drake, you will be greatly missed.” Another wrote, “So very very sad. Drake was such an outstanding actor and an integral character in the fabric of days of our lives. It will never be the same. He was part of our family of every person who viewed days.”
