Brandon Was Unexpectedly Fired From Days Of Our Lives
Brandon Barash made his entrance into the world of soap operas in 2007, stepping into the role of Johnny Zacchara on GH, representing the latest chapter of the notorious Zacchara mob family.

In a surprising twist, Barash also embodied Stefan’s twin brother, Jake DiMera. In October 2024, he dropped the bombshell that he was leaving DOOL after being unexpectedly let go, igniting a fervent desire among GH fans for his return!
Fans Are Begging For Johnny Zacchara’s Return
The soap has been struggling with its ratings recently; could the comeback of Johnny Zacchara provide the much-needed lift? It’s a possibility; one passionate soap fan took to Reddit, urging ABC to snatch up Brandon Barash before another network does.
CBS might consider him for one of their soaps, especially considering Ron Carlivati is writing for “Beyond The Gates”. The fan proposed that Barash could reprise his role as Johnny Zacchara or a new Cassadine; “How about we trade some unpopular characters to bring Johnny Z back?”
I need a bad boy to cheer for- I can totally see him reuniting with Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins) or starting something new.
Fans Continued Their Ideas For Brandon
The fan continued, perhaps with Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos);” and pointed out that Barash maintains a good relationship with his ex-wife Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones ).
Many fans of GH are excited about the possibility of Brandon Barash returning to the show, whether as Johnny or a new character-one fan expressed, “I want Johnny Z back! Unpopular opinion, but I’ve always secretly hoped he’d have an affair with Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst).
If Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) exits, I’d love to see them together, but only if JJ is gone.” Another fan commented, “I’m not sure there’s a storyline for Johnny Zaccharra right now- I’d prefer to see Dillon Quartermaine (most recently Robert Palmer Watkins) make a comeback.”
