LINDSAY ARNOLD ON DAYS EXIT

Lindsay Arnold (ex-Allie) wouldn’t call her decision to leave DAYS easy, nor would she call it hard. “It was a mix,” begins the actress.

“I really love everyone who works on DAYS so much. It’s such an amazing set to be on. It genuinely feels like a family, from the actors that I worked with to the producers and the directors. That was the hardest part of leaving for me. I knew I was going to miss everyone so much. I really care about the show, and I really value the people who work on it.”

On the other hand, Arnold felt compelled to go when her three-year contract expired. “I came to the realization that I knew it was time,” she explains. “I had been thinking on it for pretty much a year. It wasn’t a last-minute decision. It was something that I really thought about. I felt like it was time to take a break for a while, explore some other things, and re-evaluate what I wanted to do in general.”

Arnold acknowledges that the soap was a major turning point for her. “Oh, yes, 100 percent,” she admits. “DAYS was a huge step in my career. It was so important for my professional and personal life. It’s something that gave me a lot of confidence and showed me how much I can do because of all the storylines I was given and working alongside all the talent I got to work with.
