Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers reveal that Al Calderon (Javi Hernandez) recently scored a new primetime role, but what does it mean for Javi’s future in Salem? DOOL addressed the character’s fate through a spokesperson’s statement, so let’s talk about the whole situation.

Deadline broke the news about Al Calderon’s latest gig since he’s been cast as Nurse Scotty Silva on NBC’s Brilliant Minds.

Calderon is a series regular who’ll be appearing once season two kicks off this September.

Of course, that immediately left Days viewers with questions about what this meant for Calderon’s role as Javi.

Deadline’s brief mention of Calderon seemingly being dropped to recurring added to the confusion.

“Calderon is coming off a contract role on Days of Our Lives, but continues to play Javi Hernandez on the long-running Peacock sudser, returning with new episodes in 2026,” the article said.

Soap Opera Network eventually passed along a statement from a Days spokesperson, so let’s look at what they had to say about the issue.

“We do not comment on the contract status of our actors, but fans should not worry, ‘Javi’ is alive and well in Salem,” the DOOL spokesperson insisted.

Naturally, that could change if Calderon’s no longer locked in with a contract and gets too busy with other gigs, but it sounds like he still has a future at Days for now.

Al Calderon also seems excited about the chance to dive into a new character over on Brilliant Minds.

In Calderon’s recent Instagram post, he joked about getting his scrubs and thanked a long list of people now that he’s landed the role of Nurse Scotty Silva.

As for what’s next for Javi in Salem, some Tesoro-related drama is on the way.

The truth about Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) and Tate Black’s (Leo Howard) baby has to come out sooner or later, so Javi will certainly be part of all the chaos once it does.

Days of Our Lives spoilers say Javi and Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) have some romantic surprises ahead of them as well, so stay tuned!
