Days of our Lives C&G News

Are any of your favorite performers from yesteryear returning to the daytime drama, this week, or in the not too far off future? Have any new actors or actresses been cast on the show in contract, recurring, or day player roles? Are any well-remembered stars from other soaps, past or present, about to join the Days of our Lives fold in surprising new parts? Here’s the latest casting news from the NBC soap.

The week of July 12, 2021
After a 10-month absence as Eric Brady, Greg Vaughan finally returns to the Salem fold, this week. Look for the character to share a joyous reunion with his TV wife, Nicole (Arianne Zucker), on Thursday, July 15.

Eric, a former priest, headed off to Africa in September of 2020 to do missionary work, shortly after marrying Nicole. The twist was scripted when Vaughan chose not to renew his contract with the soap.

Viewers, however, shouldn’t get too used to the character, as Vaughan won’t be sticking around for too long. He, reportedly, only returned for a week of filming.

Please note that air dates may be subject to change.
