Well, I hope Carson is more successful in his role than Nicholas Chavez has been as Spencer Cassadine on GH. The audience needs to give newbies, especially recasts, time to feel comfortable, etc. But nuSpencer just doesn’t even match visually with other cast members. His voice is flat and colorless, just the opposite of what Spencer is. And his antics aren’t helping matters. I imagine he’s on a contract and I hate to see anyone unemployed but I just haven’t seen any improvement yet. I hope I’m proven wrong. Good luck to Carson Boatman.

Wow. In total disagreement with you there and while I was wary of a Spencer recast (and yes, Nicholas Bechtel is a hard act to follow), I totally buy Nicholas Chavez in the role. I actually think he made the role his own in record timing. He has chemistry with everyone and he’s easy on the eyes. I actually find his voice charming. And there’s something very natural about his non verbal acting skills (I.e. when he sees Britt and motions for her to give him a hug, or when he rubs Nikolas’ shoulder when they embrace). Overall I think he’s an amazing recast for a grown up Spencer.

Yes, I like Nicholas Chavez as Spencer too, in GH. He is very cute, and has made the character his own. I’m also looking forward to seeing Johnny all grown up in Days. We should give newcomers a chance. But I really preferred Precious as Channel in Days.

While I still don’t like the new Spencer, I tend to agree about the new Paris on Days. I sure wish Paris would forget about “Horton” and find herself a nice guy. Maybe she will get back together with Theo when Ciara gets her memory back and she goes back to Ben.Hes got to be in la-la land if he thinks she wants to marry him for love.

I wish Mr. Boatman well in his new role.
As for the new Spencer…I think he’s doing fine and will continue to improve as he settles into the role. I loved the last actor who played the role, but they had to SOARs him to fit with the other teen trio pf actors. Let’s give him a chance, right?

Soaphound
Iam with you friend.As I said in another post, maybe he’s a better actor than we’re giving him credit for, because he’s really got me where as I can’t stand anything about him. He’s turned into a spoiled rich boy who thinks his family and friends are just there for his amusement to taunt, insult, or even destroy as he’s been doing with his dad and Ava’s lives with all his machinations and deceit. God, what a piece of work!

Thanks, Violet. I fear we’re in a minority but that doesn’t mean we’re wrong. Yes, nuSpencer looks cute from certain angles and has nice hair, if they ever find a right style for it. They’re trying all different hair partings! But that disembodied voice just irks me and throws me out of the scenes. Oh well, you can’t have everything.

OMG, he reminds of Scott Reeves when he was that age, what a cutie!

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.
