So, they offer up an anniversary tribute show to an actor they can’t seem to write a story for anymore? Meanwhile, we have Faith and Moses? Something’s really off here. And, sort of off-topic, I don’t like the gray/white/silver hair he’s keeping. It’s not flattering on him as he still looks much younger than his age. I know many will disagree. But I’ll probably enjoy the tribute to this wonderful actor and cheerful soul. He’s no doubt a pivotal character in the show’s history.

Yes I’m sad about that too! I don’t watch the show anymore I might catch a day here or there but I got disgusted over their treatment of actors that built that show the treatment to Doug Davidson did it for me funny I like Christians grey hair he is a good soul he is a cheerleader for the show always has been!

Congrats on 30 years Christian!!

Oh if only the show was that great now !! Every scene Christian picked fantastic choices. I will never forget the episode where you found out he and Kevin were brothers my jaw dropped to the floor. Congrats Christian !!

After 30 years,he deserves better treatment than he’s getting. Congratulations Christian LeBlamc!

Congrats to the Silver Fox. Nice hair but better on an older man.

I miss the Baldwins!!! We need more of all of them, not just a single episode. Fenn needs to return. Kevin and Chloe need to return to the canvas. Gloria needs a storyline that is not her walking Phyllis through that ridiculous dream sequence. The writing is absolutely horrible. After watching the GL and ATWT scenes with Lisa Brown (RIP – much love to Nola and Iva) and then the compilation of storylines for Christian, it makes me so sad. The actors do their best with what they are provided, but the scripts are absolutely abhorrent.

Bless you, Margherita, you said it best! These wonderful, dedicated actors bring their best every day in service of (mostly) third rate, repetitive stories. How loooonnnggg will Billy keep gunning for Adam? Hasn’t Adam lost and/or atoned enough for an accident? Faith & Moses? Raise a hand if you care. And bring back sexy Max Ehrich as Fen and start a Baldwin renaissance with Gloria, Kevin, Chloe, heck, even Bella would be more tolerable than more and more Abby! The loss of dear Lisa Brown only reminds me of the great days of GL and ATWT. She was a unique and generous actress who will be missed but fondly remembered.

Mr. Christian LeBlanc : for many “other” reasons’ wink wink…. I have adored you… your Talent , your fiery intensity REELS … you are a stand alone act w/Finesse… and that’s not even marquee’ HOW FUNNY YOU ARE. be safe. I stand with;

you know how when … a character establishes themselves…. new in town, catches fire…. AND the show decides to build …. ? ! ? ! power in the house anew !

OOH LA LA lady catches TOO : Ms. Lauren Fenmore ‘ Tracey Bregman !!! ignite !

dag! HE”S CUTE: that little “monster” shenanigans abound that formidable bond GREG RikAART

HOLD COURT : Grand Dame eye on the prize , no holds barred , take no prisoners save her sons … “Gloria “Norma Desmond” Bardwell… who bells and whistles MORE … Ring you UP?

The Baldwin’ “Trio” w/Ms. Bregman : A league unto THEIR OWN – TA DA !

they reigned and ignited supreme : no other build of family could smolder more

30 years

“Thank you” .. hugging it out

“OH , PS ! ” i even LOVED YOU @ As the World Turns… dag! your sister was Goddess Kim Johnston Ulrich !!!!! SNAP Diana McColl .

Oh, the story they did with Michael and Eva Longoria, pictured above. When he brought her to town to seduce Paul. What a story that turned out to be.

I love the short Grey hair cut with the trimmed mustache makes him look younger.

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.
