DAYS Greg Vaughan Interview: Fan Favorite Weighs-In On Holy Eric!

27
I hated that they let him go as Lucky Spencer but seeing him back on daytime is a dream come true . I can imagine women going crazy how is it a wonderful sexy god looking man can be in a cloth. Wow women will be in confession daily. Welcome Back Greg missed u xoxo
I’m liking Greg in the role of Eric so far! It will be interesting to see how his relationship with Nicole evolves, and how he deals with all the crazy drama that is going on in Salem. I’m glad to see Greg back on our screens again!
Not so thrilled yet… hoping I will embrace him soon.. Just have been a fan of previous Eric and this Eric is just tooo different from the previous Eric. I still think they should have at least given him some Blond Highlights… although I did enjoy his first scene in Horton Square… Time will tell….. only if I keep watching.. Most of the storylines for me have been “YAWN”…..
I do like the idea of a Marlena getting repossessed again…..
Are you exactly the same as you were 12 years ago?
Nope, but it is a soap and I wanted an actor that was a better fit giving more of a feeling of the old character/actor, but I do understand that Days has lost sooo many viewers that many never knew the original actor….
Perfect casting. GH’s loss is Day’s gain.
Lucky female parishioners at St. Luke’s in Salem. I only wish a priest that good looking would be assigned to my parish, in real life most of them look like Fr. Tobias. O darn, now I have to go to confession for having lustful thoughts. I guess I will need to have my priest on speed dial because I have a feeling watching GV as Fr. Eric on Days that is going to happen a lot. LOL
I like Eric. He seems like a genuinely good guy and a great friend to Nicole. Glad he isn’t going to be mean to Will about his homosexuality. Also, I hope his probable romance with Nicole is a slow build.
I adore this guy but I do not watch DOOL so anyway I am sorry Y&R did not bring him back or GH. I know I am going to make some people mad but he should have never been replaced with Johnathan Jackson I know JJ was the original but the character had grown up and he GV had such amazing chemistry with RH & KM it made you say Jason who. I am glad he is back on Daytime just sorry I won’t get to see him!
You were so right Gh is loss and Days has gain one great actor…
Greg is an awesome .actor so, glad to see him again. cant wait to see what he brings to the show . I know he will do a great job no matter what the writers give him to do.
I love him & think this is great. I am glad to see Eric back-shocked that he is a priest, but find it very interesting. I enjoy the family aspect of soaps & Eric is a Brady connected to many on the show. His scenes with Caroline were sweet Friday. I think Days is really good right now & I can’t wait til tomorrow. That goes for all the rest of the shows too! The best thing about Monday is a fresh new week of our shows!
GV is doing a great job as that “very handsome “man of the collar, Greg AWESOME job can’t wait to see where this story line goes.
He is adorable! Love watching him. Eric and Nicole could be so passionate a la Thorn Birds! I know it has been done before, a woman in love with a priest,and the priest struggling with his emotions versus his religious commitments, but that kind of conflict makes for good drama (albeit soapy melodrama). I say bring it on!
Agreed! Would prefer this to a possession storyline again
He is a disarming presence… he fits right in with the cast…. kudos to DAYS and the writers for slowly melding… GV’s Eric… like Eileen Davidsons’ Kristen… two “at the top of their game” actors. I can wait… for their characters to deliver story…. I have to give props to Nick/Gabby/Will story…. what is up with Nick? is he accepting of Gabi’s baby? theirs something in his eyes – his demeanor that speaks of something else entirely…. and this is good because of Nick… is his past/prison going to rear it’s ugly head… his jelousy/love of Gabi’s “betrayal”… and his… Read more »
I’m not loving him, but that may have to do with the character. I don’t think they should have made him a priest. How much fun can a priest have? Plus, I think there is too much religion on Days lately. I can deal with a little, but it’s just too much.
I think Eric should have blonde hair.
I like Greg as Eric, although I love Jensen Ackles in the role. I just don’t like Nicole at all as a character and I wish if anyone could leave Salem it would be Ari Zucker. Never liked this character since the beginning so I hope Eric doesn’t get stuck with her day in and day out.
The character is fine but the writing on this show sucks though.
I’m loving GV as Eric. Perfect casting. Great interview, Michael. Your interviews help us get to know the actor and the character more. I really liked what I read about Greg. He seems to have a handle on his role. That’s a thumbs up for Days that they’ve hired him and made sure he’s well acquainted with his role. I really liked him as Lucky on GH and hated to see him go. Glad he’s now on my favorite soap. Also, liked what he had to say about Eric’s relationship with Nicole. Doesn’t sound as if Days is rushing into… Read more »
I think he is okay…I am not hating it by any means. I think that DAYS is starting to get good, but Eric isn’t the reason. Kristen’s return and the Nick and Gabby storyline has me hooked. I think the priest thing really hasn’t helped much. I do hope that they are not going the way of a possession storyline again….please anything but that!
Making Eric a priest and even considering any connection with Nicole is horrible especially considering the time of year, Christmas REALLY Day’s as usual pathetic. As for all of a sudden pushing the religious aspect all around town is also a bit over done but then that seems to be Day’s style, the writing sucks. Having Gabi get pregnant right behind murdering Nicole’s baby at the end of her pregnancy and having Gabi consider abortion, another horrible choice. Day’s writers are horrible in the execution of storylines as well as thinking them through. Best Characters on the show are getting… Read more »
Your last statement doesn’t make sense considering Eric is Sami’s twin brother. I never known any soap willing to tackle incest which would have to happened for GV to end up in her bed. Perhaps you meant Nicole? I hope so.
First, I am not a religious person but, I think allowing the character to remain true to his priestly vows for as long as possible would make for better story than hopping into bed with Nicole or anyone else in a matter of a month or two. Hopefully, DOOL will allow the story to take its time just as they did with Will & Sonny. I think it would also be good for story if Nicole and Eric remained friends and their relationship stayed platonic. Nicole needs to be refreshed and not just move from relationship to relationship. I am… Read more »
I agree it would be refreshing for a soap opera priest who isn’t over the age of 60 to actually honor his vows, but if they go this route I hope like you said they go slowly and show the real pain it is for a priest to choose between his vocation and someone he loves. It does happen and when you read websites from priests it has happened to, it is not as simple or easy as soaps make it to be.
In light of what others said about Eric/Nicole having a relationship or not, I hear what everyone is saying. When I posted that I wanted to see passion between Eric and Nicole, I did not mean it had to be rushed, or that they actually had to be together – maybe they will or maybe they won’t. To me what makes good drama is showing human conflict and struggle, so it could be that Eric and Nicole care for each other deeply, have passionate and romantic feelings, but Eric struggles between ‘temptation’ and his spiritual commitment, so the drama is… Read more »
I do like him a Eric. Initially I thought the casting should have been blond w/ blue eyes to match Samantha Gene.
I only hope they will leave him as a good, honorable priest. Someone the Salemites can be counseled, led and become stronger. Everyone on a show does not have to be a stripper skank.
No! I would not like to see Fr. Eric reunite with anyone. You know, there are clergy who take VOWS seriously. I would like to think Fr. Eric is that person. The way the reveal episode was presented was a slap in the face to all good men of the cloth. Surely, there is room in the SOAPS for at least one person with redeeming qualities and good character. Enjoy Greg Vaughan in the part.
