“I did it for me and the dreams that surpassed “Days of Our Lives.”
I did for my family: past, present, and future.
“I had always spoken to my dad about my dreams.

He knew my ultimate goal is to create amazing stories and cultivate characters to be on the big screen …
He didn’t stay to see his dreams realized the depression took over.
I need to reach mine for him, and me, and our family,” she added.

Banus went on to reveal that she knows her father would be proud of her.
Of course, the actor has some personal goals as well.
However, the producers weren’t able to work out a deal that suited her.
So, she opted to leave the show altogether.
The actor revealed that she wanted to pursue career goals such as working on movies.
“My biggest desire is to work on films.
“My husband and I are trying to start a family, hopefully,” she said.
But I’m also open to other opportunities and ready for big things.
I’m just ready for something different,” she added.
Fans will undoubtedly miss Banus as Gabi Hernandez.
However, they are excited to see what the future holds for her career.
