Tuesday’s episode of Days of our Lives had Eric Brady saying a sudden farewell to his loved ones before he departs Salem for Africa to help those in need.  That marks the on-screen departure of Daytime Emmy winner, Greg Vaughan who will last be seen on Wednesday’s episode.

As DAYS fans were aware, Greg wrapped his run months ago on the NBC daytime drama series, but since before the Covid-19 pandemic DAYS taped almost seven months ahead, Eric’s on-screen exit is airing this week.

Over the past two days, Vaughan took to his Instagram to share some sentiments, ‘thanks you’s’ and some photos of some of his favorite memories with his castmates expressing, “Seeing it’s the last week I’m airing on @nbcdays …I wanted to share some great captured memories this week with my incredible fans & castmates.”

The actor also posted a special photo album of pics with his longtime on-screen partner and love interest, Arianne Zucker (Nicole).  In that, he posted this message: “To my Ride or Die partner Ari!! Never a dull moment, laughing or crying, she was the party, always with a smile! Love ya #ERICOLE”

So, will you miss Ericole? Are you sad to see Greg exit Days on-screen? Share your thoughts via the comment section below … AND what were some of your favorite performances of Greg during his time on DAYS.

Dang!!!
#ericole fans must again await a reunion until next time
Eric and Nicole are Days new generation supercouple!
They ve stood the test of time countlessly,I cant believe they’re being torn apart yet again!
Greg Vaughan is sooo soulful and gorgeous in all his scenes. A true leading man!
I love his chem with Ari, Deidra and Eric M
Hurry back Greg! Days fans will miss you greatly. #ericole forever

In his half angry/half pity-party social-media tour of late, Greg Vaughn doesn’t sound like he’s eager to ever return to Days.

Well, NBC interrupted the last half so I didn’t see it. 🙁 Not sad to see Vaughn go as I do not like his portrayal of Eric. He has been very boring.

Greg is nice but not my cup of tea. I liked him better as a priest than a romantic lead.Sometimes he so nice to the point of being boring and that wispery voice is not sexy!

I have a feeling in about six months to a year he will be back.It always seems that way.Remember when Marci Miller quiet?She came back.I just saw her on a Lifetime movie SO what else is new.Maybe Greg will be back too,Who knows I did like him.Or are they going to get someone else to take his place?Dont be to surpirsed if he pops up in a Lifetime movie.

This is really a shame. Greg Vaughan is a great actor and he and Arianne Zucker are a good pair. I like seeing the integral dimension of Nicole’s character – more confident and less self-destructive. I hope they don’t eliminate that. It’s nice to see her having the higher moral ground with Sami for a change.

Good luck, Greg—–let’s hope Nicole doesn’t revert to her “old” days of mayhem without your good influence.—-seems to me that she’s deriving a lot of wicked satisfaction by sticking it to Tripp.—–her Gioconda smile is a revelation.

I wish Nicole would not take Allie’s story at face-value. There must me more to this than what she’s telling.
I bet Tripp will match a DNA test, or come close to it, as the father. The twist will baffle us all. A relative is the true father!!

Because ReRon’s writing is so thoroughly 666% predictable, here’s what’s going to happen:

1) The obvious way to determine whether or not Tripp is the father is to test the DNA of baby Henry. So they will take the test……

2) The DNA will match. Despite this, Tripp will continue to proclaim his innocence, and all of Salem will be divided as to who believes his story and who believes Allie’s.

3) Meanwhile, did you happen to notice that some random guy who is about the same age as Tripp just happens to show up in Salem in the middle of all of this. He gets public sympathy because everybody’s throwing smoothies at him his first day at work. And he flirts with Claire, who is believing Allie’s story, despite the fact that she knows Tripp better than anybody except Steve.

4) Eventually the new guy is going to casually mention that he used to live in London- or at least was vacationing there right around the Hellidays last year.

5) Ava Vitali has escaped Hell and will soon return to Salem to stir up trouble, for Steve, probably for John, and for the son she’s never met. Or would that be SONS??

666) Yeah that’s right.. new kid (Charlie??) will turn out to be Tripp’s brother. Same mom obviously. Same dad? well, the two boys are around the same age, so fraternal twins is a very strong possibility. Their DNA would be very close, but not a complete match like identical twins

Now this probably also means that Charlie will get rapey again, either with Allie or Claire. And show up in a mask, so Tripp can get blamed for it. Because ReRon likes his rape stories about as much as he likes baby switches, personality disorders, & stupid dopplegangers

Hm, God is all-knowing, but I don’t think the devil has quite that degree of ominiscience. Nevertheless, Satan, I would hang onto this post so you can gloat later because I’m pretty sure you are 100 percent on the money here.

Saying Good bye…im done with GH and Days and im done here as well…it was so much fun in the beginning and getting to know you, Shay, Micheal Fairman and so many others…but Politics got in it and spoiled it all…plus im leaving much of social media as well plus my health is declining..thanks..wish you and all other the best,,and special thanks to Micheal Fairmen!!!..(PS-Finn and Jackie had an affair and is Chase’s fathe!-one last one from me!)

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.
