from daytime royalty daytimeroyaltyonline.com/topic/8722311/1/EW: Greg Vaughan joins Days as Ericinsidetv.ew.com/2012/08/10/official-general-hospital-vet-joins-days-of-our-lives/Official: 'General Hospital' vet joins 'Days of Our Lives' by Lynette Rice The official word has finally come down from NBC, Salem lovers: Actor Greg Vaughan, best known to General Hospital fans as (the third) Lucky Spencer, has joined Days of our Lives. Starting Nov. 13, Vaughan will assume the role of Eric Brady, the estranged brother of Sami (Alison Sweeney) and the son of Roman Brady and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall). This is the first time Sami’s brother has appeared in Salem after leaving for Colorado in 2000. Eric was last played by Jensen Ackles from 1997-2000. “I seem to be that go-to guy [for roles originated by others],” Vaughan told EW exclusively. “But it’s more than that. The roles speak to me. It’s such a great ensemble.” Before making various appearances in primetime on shows like 90210 and GCB, Vaughan co-starred on General Hospital as Lucky from 2003 to 2009. He also played Diego from 2002-03 on CBS’ The Young and the Restless. “Now I have the privilege of saying I’ve appeared on soaps on every network,” Vaughn said. “It’s such a great medium — fast paced, and it’s trained me well.” Vaughan started work on Days this week. When he makes his debut on the daytime sudser in November, it will be revealed that his character has been doing philanthropy work around the world. “He’s been a world photojournalist,” explains Vaughan. “He’s just a guy who has a found a new direction in life. He has kind of re-gravitated in a different direction, more so than what the audience expects. The question will most likely be why he has chosen this new direction in life.” |

I look forward to Eric returning to Salem. The character has been gone long enough that they can really go in a new direction with him.

I wonder if he will be thrust into Nicole's orbit once Daniel finally decides to make a go with her.

I'm sure he'll be in Nicole's orbit. There are no other women near his age beside his twin Sami. So his other options are way older than him or the college girls.

Too many men in Nicole's orbit.

I'd rather see too many men fighting over Nicole than too many men fighting over Sami.

I can't get happy about Eric coming back. Can we please get a bad boy or a least someone dark gray? I am so tired of creamy vanilla. (and yes I love Greg, and yes I used to like Eric and Nicole)

So bizarre that he's going to be a priest.

Big fan of Vaughan ever since his charmed days and than his GH time glad he has joined the days family couldnt think of a better actor suiting the character of Eric Brady he happened to.be my firts choice if days evr recasted the character after Jensenof course. Exited to see him and Ari on screen together ots going to be magic assume they will hit it off chemistry wise. I however dont like his return as a prest seriously a good looking guy like him needs to show some skin preferable in bed w/ Nicole :-P
