"I will miss you all!! Wait, I’ll still be here, you can find me on IG!! Much love.”

Braun initially joined Days of Our Lives in 2008 and won her first daytime Emmy award for the role in 2009.

Braun previously returned to the series in 2011 in the role of Taylor Walker, taking over for Natalia Livingston.

The actress brought Ava back in 2015 as part of the series' 50th-anniversary celebrations but departed in 2016.

The star then returned in 2020, and her final episode has aired, but since Tamara is never too far away from the show, we're sure she'll be back at some point.

The actress and character are fan favorites.

In addition to Days of Our Lives, Braun also starred in All My Children.

 “Fingers crossed we get to do more together in the future,” wrote Days of our Lives star Paul Telfer in the comments section of the post.

Days of Our Lives has had an exciting year.

The series moved from NBC to become a Peacock original, but the streaming service has yet to announce anything about its performance after leaving NBC behind.

Abigail: You knew it was my alter. Gabi, I have apologized to you a thousand times. I never meant to hurt you.
Gabi: But I do want to hurt you, Abigail. I do. Because you, you just keep on leading this amazing, great life, and I'm the one who keeps getting screwed. You didn't even get punished for what you did, you didn't even get a slap on the wrist. You even told Chad you wanted to be punished. You're welcome. And yes, I did drug you, and yes I did put this wig on your head to make sure you were having a relapse. Hold the applause.
Abigail: Why are you confessing all this now?
Gabi: Because you can't do anything about it. I have you exactly where I want you.
Abigail: Well, you know I'm gonna tell everybody that you confessed.
Gabi: Oh like you told everybody about my last so-called confession at the courts? No one is gonna believe anything that you say, because what you said came out of a crazy person's mouth.
