Brandon Barash On His DAYS Return: “The Reveal Is Going To Be Fun!” But, Who Will He Ultimately Be ?

Get ready for all-new episodes of Days of our Lives this week with the highly-awaited return of Brandon Barash in full force.  Now viewers and fans want to know if Brandon is returning as Stefan O DiMera  – the man who was shot and who’s heart was given to Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes)- or is he truly playing another character?  You never know in Salem with Dr, Rolf’s (William Utay) record of bringing people back from the dead!

But as Barash previews in current issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, viewers will see him a mechanic named Jake, who right off the bat crosses paths with none other than Ben Weston (Rob Scott Wilson).

As to teasing his Salem identity, Barash, of course, did not share many details with SOD, but he did say, “The reveal is going to be fun.  But it will be very apparent from the moment you see Jake and he speaks that he’s the complete opposite of Stefan.”

Stabi fans are hoping that Gabi (Camila Banus) and Stefan will somehow be reunited, or that Gabi might find love again with the man who is a dead-ringer for Stefan.  Given the duo’s off-the-charts chemistry that wouldn’t be much of a stretch.

So, who do you think Barash is truly playing?  Is he Stefan back from the dead with no memory?  Is he Stefan’s twin?  Is he a man named Jake, who just has a striking resemblance to the late Stefan?

So many theories will begin to unfold, as fans of the NBC daytime drama series watch what goes down.  Weigh-in via the comment section below, just who you hope Brandon will be playing.   But first, check out this week’s NBC promo featuring Brandon.

he’s EJ!

he’s left Sami and back to claim DIMERA.

wishful thinking. I just watched the promo teaser, his voice sounds the same. He should have been EJ DiMera. Oh well, I am out of guesses.

its not EJ

I dont care who he is. I’m just glad Brandon is back!!!!

Me to. He can be whomever he wants to be!

EJ and thats why Sami is returning?…Bo Brady?…an aged JJ?…Nafets-actually Stefan turned backwards-Julie doesnt have his heart…she has the late Susan Martin’s heart-Julie’s long ago Friendenemy…Rolf?…Johnny Zaccarah or whatever his GH character name was…Gabi’s thought dead sister?…the Taco Bell dog…lol

I hope he’s a brother because I’m tired of this Dr. Rolf brought back from the dead bullcrap!!!

Vivian will say she had twins……I love Brandon Barash so don’t care why he’s back!!

Christins
I did read a while ago that Vivian was coming back, so maybe you are on to something.

Boy, things are really looking bad. I replied to my on reply!

Christine
That could very well be. I read she’s, lurking in Salem already.

The only thing Gabi deserves is a minimum of twenty years in prison. Failing that, I will settle for Gabi being completely and irrecoverably destroyed.

I hope who ever he will be it will not include Gabi I hope they just make her disappear Days would be so good without her

Anne
Was this comment for me? If so I agree 100%

It could be one or two things and i certainly hope this one isnt the case he is someone else wearing a masks or he is Stefan’s twin which would make more sense.We all know this time Rolf couldnt possible bring him back from the dead.So I say his twin.

I am glad he’s back. I was surprised when he called himself Jake. It’s going to be interesting who he turns out to be

Who the really cares? Unless he’s Oprah proclaiming “Obama the Messiah”
yeah, we all know already,
Dool=dribble,dribble dribble. RC ucked DOOL, just like he did elsewhere.
I suppose It’s good that Brandon had a few months of work.
I won’t Be watching, I’d rather my dvr recording of Oprah kissing ass the john of god perv, than anything RC writes.
I have felt sorry for the cast, the actors, for a few years now.

i still think its stefan 1. he told ben he has a job dont care about his past 2 abby drugged think stefan getting back at them for what they doing to gabi and 3 when he starred into gabi chic and turned to see if anyone looking

Days of our Lives Star, Greg Vaughan, Gives Health Update and Thanks Everyone for Their Support

Greg Vaughan (Eric, Days of our Lives, ex-Lucky, GH, and ex-Diego, Y&R) provided an update on his health on Sunday, March 17th. Vaughan had previously shared that he had become ill during a trip with his sons to Colorado, and had developed altitude sickness when he was having trouble breathing accompanied by terrible headaches and landed in the urgent care.

Now on St. Patrick’s Day, Greg took to his Instagram and shared how he is feeling now, and to thank everyone for their love and support.  As it turned out, Vaughan was diagnosed with high altitude pulmonary edema, commonly known as HAPE. However, he is on the mend slowly and surely.

In his new video post, the DAYS favorite started by expressing, “I just felt such an appreciation and gratitude for everything. . reaching out. Your prayers have been felt. It’s been a struggle, but I’m over the top. And, taking this moment just to say I didn’t realize the things that I was going through. My (original) post was simply just to educate, put some information out there and some things that I was feeling, just share that information and the struggle that I was going through, which I didn’t quite understand. And it wasn’t because I’m stubborn or just because I’m a father, a man, and didn’t want to go to a doctor. It is just something I thought was so minor that I could overcome it, just by taking care of myself.”

The Daytime Emmy winner then revealed his actual diagnosis, “So, basically my situation was high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). With some good friends, doctors that had reached out to me, it kind of gave me some understanding on the aftermath, which was very, very beneficial.”

“But I’ve been resting, taking care of myself even though I live in a hamster wheel,” said the dad of three teenaged boys. “I gotta get up and, you know, do my normal domesticated stuff, eventually. I’m tired of laying down in this bed, but, I am feeling much better.”

Talking on his confusion of trying to understand what could have been ailing him, Vaughan expressed, “I couldn’t quite figure it out, even though I was emphasizing and professing to my children going on our spring break getaway about hydration. I professed it. But, even though I was acting on it, it had a greater effect on me, and for which I did not even think, because my head was such in pain, and I was in a very bad state of mind – not being able to be out there with my kids on the mountain, enjoying their time, as well. I thought I was doing the right thing. Unfortunately, my lungs were full of fluids and my head was in severe pain and even migraine pills didn’t even help. So, I just want anybody that goes into the Colorado Mountains to know, it is no joke. It is this very serious thing which I guess is why they call it the Mile High City.”

Greg had a mountain of ‘thank you’s’ to give for the outreach he received from his original post, “For everybody internationally, wherever you are, I love you and I appreciate you and just the time and the thoughts that you’ve shared with me,” said Vaughan. “I didn’t realize that it would make such an impression on so many people around the world. I feel tremendously loved and I can’t say it enough. I’m good. And I appreciate you.”

The actor concluded his video with, “To all the family and friends that have reached out to me, man, it means the world. So take care of yourself, enjoy your spring break with your families. It’s Saint Patty’s Day, obviously. I wish I could be out there.” Vaughan added, “I feel loved and touched and I can’t emphasize that enough. I’ll take better care of myself, promise you will do the same.” Before he signed off, Greg shared, “Just know, that I’m alive and well and breathing, and I’m sore. So, be well, take care. I mean it. Thank you, tremendously.”

Glad to know that Greg has been on the mend, and shared his appreciation for everyone that reached out to him during this trying time? Comment below.

Days of our Lives Star Greg Vaughan Shares Sudden Health Scare: “I Truly Feel Like I Work & Live in a Soap Opera!”

What started out as an adventure with his sons, quickly turned into a nightmare for Days of our Lives Daytime Emmy winner, Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady).

In a series of Instagram posts, Vaughan shared the sudden health crisis he found himself in.  The images show Greg with an oxygen tank to help him breathe.

The actor began to fill people, sharing, “I’ve said more than a few times, I truly feel like I work & live in a Soap Opera! 🤪 this trip was nothing short of another great Vaughan adventure!”

He went on to say that on a father and son Colorado spring break trip, he began to feel shortness of breath, feeling tired and with a headache and after two days of hoping he would feel better, Vaughan finally went to an Urgent Care to get checked out.

“I finally surrendered & went to urgent care and to my shock I learned that I was experiencing severe altitude sickness.” Vaughan admitted. “My Blood Oxygen was at 54% & my lungs were full of fluids! Blood oxygen, also known as oxygen saturation, represents the percentage of hemoglobin in your red blood cells that is carrying oxygen. Most people have an oxygen level of 95-100%….”

Providing more detail to his health scare, Greg shared, “Well, 4hrs later, a couple of bags of IV & oxygen tank strapped to my face, I was told that I needed to immediately get off the mountain! However I couldn’t, we still had another day to go & wanting the boys to enjoy their last day on the hill tops! I opted to go home with an oxygen tank, a good laugh for everyone, and I know will follow, but my boys looked after their old man & fortunately they had friends on this trip!”

The experience of altitude sickness in the Colorado Rockies gave Vaughan a bit of a new perspective, “In all seriousness, no matter your age, and all the times I’ve ⛷️ & 🏂 in my lifetime, Colorado Rockies is no joke! As they say, ‘ take a breathe and smell the roses!’ That is truly something we need to remember & appreciate! #recover”

Share your well-wishes to Greg as he continues to be on the mend via the comment section below.
