Shawn Christian Stars in INSP Movie 'Savannah Sunrise' on June 26

Shawn Christian

Days of our Lives alum Shawn Christian will star in Savannah Sunrise, premiering Sunday, June 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on INSP. The film also stars Pamela Reed, Clare Carey, and Shawnee Smith.

Straight-laced Joy Miles (Smith) thinks she’s taking a simple road trip to move her free-spirited mother-in-law, Loraine (Reed), from Louisville to Savannah. Complete opposites, the two women manage to tolerate each other—barely. Joy is consumed with work, an impending deadline and a high-stakes project. Reluctantly, Loraine, now widowed, is taking the next step in life, moving to a retirement community, no longer a preacher’s wife, but a woman on her own. Her insights about life and family tend to get under Joy’s skin, especially since Loraine’s words make Joy take a hard look at her own whirlwind life, her priorities, and what is really important to her.

As the weekend unfolds, with its many adventures, hilarious encounters and heart-to-heart revelations, the women come to see each other through new, appreciative eyes. Mile after mile Joy’s true affections for Loraine start to surface. She takes a front-seat-view of how this strong-willed woman is managing the emotional transition of learning to live life after losing her spouse. And despite their many differences, with light-hearted escapades at every turn, they discover how much they respect, and even need, each other.

Savannah Sunrise was directed by Randall Stevens, and written by James Mitchel, Thomas Torrey, and Gary Wheeler.

Shawn Christian Leaving 'Days of our Lives'

Shawn Christian

Actor Shawn Christian is the latest actor we can confirm who will be leaving Days of our Lives. Christian has played Dr. Daniel Jonas since March 2008. Daytime Confidential first mentioned Christian's possible exit back in June, and viewers have been speculating how Daniel might leave Salem.

It looks like the controversial doctor--beloved my some viewers and maligned by others as overexposed--will not be making it out of Salem alive. But unlike the recent deaths of Serena Mason (Melissa Archer) and Paige Larson (True O'Brien), Daniel will not be a victim of the serial killer; he's going to the great beyond in another way.

Daniel is not the only character who will be killed off in a non-serial killer way. Stay tuned for more on that, plus details of another major exit from Days coming in early 2016.

In addition to his role as Dr. Daniel Jones on Days, Christian has starred in As the World Turns as Mike Kasnoff, and Summerland as Johnny Durant. His other credits include Pacific Palisades, Boston Legal, Las Vegas, Beverly Hills, 90210 and Venice. Since taping his last Days episode, Christian has been busy working on the thriller Last Seen in Idaho.

Explanation for 'Days of our Lives' Star Shawn Christian's Injured Lip

Days of our Lives actor Shawn Christian (Dr. Daniel Jonas) injured his lip in early January, but because show tapes so far in advance, viewers only saw it on Tuesday's episode.
