Leo friggin’ Stark and Will Horton! OMG! I am more there than I possibly imagined! There’s a fantastic story to be written with these two. I’m so thrilled! Sonny’s return…meh.

“Thaao Penghlis as André DiMera”….

Was that a typo, Michael?? Or do I need to check for another security breach??
Because last I heard, Andre was still in Hell…. though Tony has had one or two moments in recent memory that have made me wonder which one of the DiMera “twins” was on screen.

As for Carrie & Austin…. always preferred the original Austin to this guy (who usually came off as kind of a dumbass, for some reason)but it’s always great to see the eldest Brady daughter.

If not, they aren’t being very careful about the spoilers with this thing. They have pretty much already let the cat out of the bag that Ciara will somehow be cured of her amnesia by then, if she’s on a “romantic getaway” with Ben.

I’m going to check to see if Andre’s still down here, just in case…..

Honestly, I had to remember who she is. She’s like watching paint dry to me.
When is this extravaganza going to air on Peacock?
Satan?? Are you in the know?

I don’t remember the exact date it’s supposed to be available, but I believe it’s early in September.

It’s really too bad they didn’t start this project earlier, so it could have streamed during the two week hiatus.

And don’t get a Devil started about how horrible NBC’s coverage of these games has been. Comcast executives were all going to Hell anyway, but the ones who thought it was a good idea to run commericals DURING the Olympic events on a split screen….. yeah, they’re getting 666 times the usual amount of torment.

Fortunately we get CBC & BBC streams down here, and they’re much better… at least when they work.

Favorite Days supercouple!
Carrie and Austin!
Awesome to have them back in any capacity
I especially prefer Peck as Austin aswell, and Christies grown into such a beautiful and talented actress!

Who was Abe married to, a long while ago. I lost track when I stopped watching..glad to be watching again..I thought she was a doctor. I can see her face…

Lexie Carver. She was originally a cop (which is how she met Abe) then suddenly decided on a career change, and apparently went to the fastest medical school on the planet, because she was a practicing doctor within 6 months. And then the Chief of Staff of the Hospital within 2 years.

And all of that was BEFORE she found out Stefano DiMera was her father!! Unfortunately, Lexie eventually died due to exposure to toxic fumes in the tunnels underneath her daddy’s mansion. You know… those same secret tunnels that are featured in the random kidnappings every three months or so?? (apparently somebody cleaned up the toxins, as nobody dies down there anymore)

Lexie is one of the few DiMeras who has never returned from the dead. She’s also one of the few who is NOT in Hell, so you can’t blame that on me!

You can bring back all the so called favorites you want, but until the writing/production and yes some of the acting gets better; no matter what you do won’t work.

Love me some Christie Clarke. So glad she will bring Carrie back to our screen for an episode or two! 🙂

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.
