Joe LoCicero on His B&B Demise: “I Do Believe I’m Done Filming But it is a Soap Opera So Anything is Possible”
Now that Vinny is a-goner, the lives of many of the Spencers, Forresters, and Logans will be thrown into turmoil on upcoming episodes of CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful.
Actor Joe LoCicero began playing Thomas’ (Matthew Atkinson) best bud, Vinny, back in 2019 and along the way has done some shady and despicable deeds.
He chatted exclusively with Soap Opera Digest about his character’s demise, sharing that B&B’s head writer and executive producer, Brad Bell, gave him the heads up a few episodes before his untimely end on the daytime drama series, sharing, “It wasn’t a lot of notice because they wanted to keep the story a secret.”
LoCicero who is married to actress Gina Rodriguez, who at one time also appeared on B&B as Beverly, shared that his wife was bummed out by his exit.
Now as to whether viewers have seen the last of Vinny in flashbacks, or if there is twin lurking around, all LoCiero slyly would share was, “I do believe I’m done filming but it is a soap opera so anything is possible.”
So, did you enjoy Joe’s performances? Should he come back as Vinny’s twin? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
How is this a “major” death? Vinny was not a major character, and how is what he did by switching the paternity results WORSE than what Flo did by allowing Hope and Liam to believe their baby was DEAD?! The logic on this show is non-existent, and I really wish the character who died was Flo instead. It’s beyond me that anyone in the Logan family can forgive her for what she did, and how Wyatt could have ended things with Sally for Flo.
I guess Joe LoCicero was right. He was done, mowed down, or not, by someone who felt he got what he deserved. Could he have been dead already and put there to make it look like a hit and run? Today when Bill was trying to soothe Liam, he said he saw him walk in front of the car which is not true,because neither of them saw anything until they felt the thud. This should get very interesting, especially the way they drag out things. Just don’t know how long I can take Liam’s moaning and groaning . I really hope they don’t turn Finn into Dr.Jeckle and Mr.Hyde, I like him.

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.
