Why don’t they bring her to Y&R make her Katherine’s long list sister let’s get this show a kick in the ass and she is the perfect actress to do it !! Offer her the moon whatever it takes

She loves daytime she is a great actress my gosh what are you people waiting for? You are drowning here let’s get with the program

I totally agree. I think part of the problem is that all of daytime now shoots in LA and I believe she stated in an interview awhile back that she does not want to live in LA or commute there for an extended period of time. Believe me, I would love nothing more than to see her on my screen on a regular basis again. I miss OLTL to this day.

You are correct Aaron. From what I’ve read, Erika’s home is in Connecticut and she has no desire to leave the east coast. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss our beloved One Life to Live.

I know commuting is horrible but we can dream can’t we? I just miss her and many others

Me too !

What a fabulous idea?!

I can’t wait to watch. I wish they would pair her with Tom.

I agree, this is my favorite show on TV. I keep a bunch recorded and watch them back to back when I can’t find anything else good. I think Ms.Slezak’s last time on B.B was featured with Gramps, Frank’s dad. Can’t wait to see this appearance.

This is super news. It’s always wonderful to see Erika Slezak in action. I’ll definitely tune in to see her. I’ve hoped that she would make another visit to the Fox drama, The Resident. A few years ago, she was wonderful as a former medical school professor with a newly diagnosed, progressively deteriorating medical condition. I’m not a regular viewer of that show, but I’d love to see Erika as that character again. Let’s face it, I’d love to see Erika Slezak in just about anything.

I too, wish Ms. Slezak would slide into a Young and Restless role worthy of her talent. Josh Griffith would need to be given his walking papers first. I don’t trust is headwriting abilites in the least.

Love her character looking forward to seeing her again

Always look forward to seeing favorite soap stars on prime time shows! They are great! I think it would be great if she had a thing with Pop!

Great! She would make an excellent addition to the family. Her character played off of Len Cariou’s Henry Reagan perfectly. A love interest for Henry, a step-mother, step-grandmother for the family. There’s room at the Sunday for her.

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.
