Soap Vet Undergoes Emergency Surgery After Trying to Save a Woman From a Violent Situation: ‘Please Keep Him in Your Prayers’

Amy Mistretta

One heroic act leads to major medical issues.

We are saddened to report that soap vet Vincent Irizarry, who held roles on Days of Our Lives, Bold & Beautiful, All My Children and Young & Restless, to name a few, is scheduled to undergo surgery this morning, on Friday, March 11. Last evening, his girlfriend, Yvonne Glisson, shared the news on her Facebook, which has since been deleted, and the backstory that led to this medical emergency is absolutely awful.

“I need to share some sad news about sweet Vincent and ask for prayers,” Glisson began then went on to explain that in December 2021 Irizarry was leaving a restaurant/bar when he witnessed a man “being volatile to his wife” in the parking lot. However, when he approached the man to intervene and attempt to calm him down, Irizarry was then “violently hit to the ground himself” and suffered multiple bruises, a serious head gash and a concussion that resulted in fluid to his brain.

“The man then proceeded to beat his wife unconscious,” she continued. “Vincent was rushed to the ER and had to be treated for his head wound, injuries and [had to have] tests run.”

Over the last three months, the fluid has increased “substantially,” which now will require emergency head surgery “this Friday morning.”

Glisson asked all of his “fans, friends, followers and prayer warriors” to “please, please, please” send the former soap star “positive vibes” and keep him in our prayers during this difficult time. She also asked that we “say a special one for his surgeon” and hope for “a successful procedure and speedy recovery.”

There's been a lot of chatter about VI and his family re: politics in recent years and I don't know how much is true, but he has always been a class act onscreen and magnetic to watch, even in the years when I used to be tired of the cartoonish David of the mid-2000s. He came back especially strong near the end of AMC's network run and online. It's a horrible tragedy and I wish him the best.

A FB friend made a post about this the other day and for the sake of his privacy neglected to mention his name which I found just a little annoying. When I saw mentions of "Vincent" in the comments I put two and two together. He sounds like a stand-up guy, too many people would rather not get involved. Praying for his speedy recovery.

Great reunion !  What a rare career Kate has had -- having a career in daytime on just one show and for so many years.  While I admire that she gave up stardom for her husband and family, you have to wonder what if...films, broadway, series.  She was just so unique...

Enjoyed hearing Tom's memories as a child actor on AMC -- especially his stories about Kelly Ripa and Chris Bruno.

    • I know they were popular, but once they tamed Van's shrew, I thought Billy just brought Van down. Since they had just Nola and Billy sitting around in 97, an interesting thing would be if they had developed a friendship that turned into something else while Van was "dead". Maybe Billy lives at the Boardinghouse (to work on repaing his relationship with Bill) and works at Company instead of the stupid diner. Nola and Bridget give him a job there and Nola and Billy (who had originally been a bit antagonistic) slowly build up a relationship and then Van returns. A returned new lease on life Van would return to her "high hat ways" and take on the Spaulding's for control of the company with Billy helping her behind the scenes.  I know that Jordan was on sporadically because of his issues and them not know if they could trust him not to fall of the wagon, but they could have done it slow..and give Van and Nola a new reason to get in each others hair (I love a good Van/Nola tussle.)

          Perhaps it wasn't the most well-played match in history, but that's something no one will remember in a few years time.
    • The thing with Martin (for me) is that he should have been Anita and Vernon's kid. I honestly think he would have been fine being an older or younger brother to Dani and Nicole. It also would have made his relationship and kids feel more realistic. A handsome salt and pepper late 40s/early 50s congressman who settled down and adopted kids to fit an image for politics. Not that he didn't want this lifestyle but it is what he needed to do to get ahead. Also, we don't often get older characters playing LGBT roles not just on daytime but across most media. It would have been a refreshing take. As an alternative, Sam and Ty could have been Martin's kids from an earlier marriage a la the NJ governor that was outed. We could have also seen parallels between Vernon and Anita thinking back to how they handled Martin coming out compared to the way they accepted Chelsea.  As for Martin being Nicole and Ted's kid, I do wish in this case he was not tied to a marriage and kids, so that he could date and sleep around like any other character on a soap.  Yeah, I didn't get it...but what I did get is that girl is a bit crazy like her mama.  Vanessa and Joey talking about the poker table...get these people off my screen.

    • Unpopular opinion, but I didn't think the show should have reunited Billy/Vanessa at all until the final stretch of the show. When watching the 1989 episodes when both Vanessa and Billy return after being off the show... I liked that Vanessa had moved on from him and that the show was hinting at her wanting to reunite with her first love Ross while looking down at Nadine for being the one Ross was dating.  And I loved the twist where Billy and Nadine teamed up to keep Vanessa/Ross apart.   This was an interesting concept that sadly the writers dropped with the show deciding to make Vanessa pine over Billy between 1990 and 1993 when they finally reunited.   To me, Vanessa pining over Billy seemed out of character. At least once Billy was carted off to prison in 1994... she and Billy divorced and stayed divorced until the final months when they finally found their way back together.  During the years when they were divorced, I liked that they had maintained a friendship and connection.. with viewers (like my late mom) wondering if they would ever decide to make it work again. I wish the show had tried that with Josh/Reva because by the time of the final episode when they rode off into the sunset, I didn't care because we'd been through the make up and break ups between them for over 10+ years by that point.
    • I break down the primetime soap era (start of Dallas to end of Knots Landing) as  Up to Spring 1982: Building the foundation. Fall 1982-Spring 1985: Peak. Fall 1985-Spring 1988: Tanking. Fall 1988 onward: Off the rails plus budget mode. Of course individual shows vary and I've broken down each show in their threads.
    • I’m ready for Portia and Curtis to divorce and get it over with. Portia cheating with Isaiah would make for a fun love quadrangle with Jordan.
