Created by head writers Dena Higley and Christopher Whitesell, and introduced by executive producers Ken Corday and Gary Tomlin, Galen Gering made his debut on October 31, 2008.

Casting

[edit]
Following the cancellation of Passions in 2008, Galen Gering was cast as Rafe.

In August 2008, speculation arose concerning Passions actor Galen Gering was in-discuss of joining the Days of Our Lives cast. The following month, Gering's casting was formally announced by the soap; he was cast in the role of FBI agent, Rafael. Gering made his first appearance on October 31, 2008. Prior to his casting, actors Forbes March and Wes Ramsey had previously auditioned for the role. "It took longer that I had anticipated," Gering said of the casting process, and signed onto the soap just months after filming ceased on Passions.

Development
