Thaao Penghlis decided to leave Days of our lives in 1985 after seeing the unceremonious way in which Jed Allan was written off Days without so much as a proper send off for the character.

Instead, he disappeared into the fog one night. Jed and Thaao met again years later on Santa Barbara in 1992. They were CC Capwell and Micah DeAngelis.
