Another TomSell failure.

 

Poor Greg can never catch a break.

Greg signed a short contract to wrap up story.. I don't think that's the same as being "fired"

 

Regardless I'll miss the character. I think the character of Eric Brady has a lot of potential to drive story in a supporting role. 

I truly don't mean to sound melodramatic, but his last episode will be my own as well. Coming back to the show I always knew there was going to be an expiry date and this cements that for me. This is a horrible decision that my love for Greg since his GH days cannot abide by. It's been great to see the character of Bo get closure, Steve and Kayla get respect, the sweet nostalgia of seeing Jason Cook reprise his role as Shawn, and Abby finally get a story worth her Horton heritage, but by the time Greg leaves these things will have lost their lustre I'm sure. And, selfishly, that failed characters like Brady and Theresa remain to "rub it in" and upcoming actor arrivals that don't impress me will be bastardizing characters I grew up with (JPL, Brandon Beemer) doesn't sit well with me.

 

I do admit, however, that I'll be checking out clips of the return of my man Jack. Giving the right closure and respect to him will be must see. Sod the rest though. See you at cancellation time.

Dumping Vaughan is a mistake. He could've made Missy Reeves work again and given her a May/December angle.

 

Days needs to go ahead and let Bryan Datillo's weak ass go.  That 12th tier character, Lucas, has no reason to hang around Salem.  

 

I don't let sin like this penetrate my eyes.

I'm very annoyed over this exit. They clearly had zero interest in writing for Eric. And I hate that Eric and Nicole seem to be done. Unless Zucker is out too. But I imagine Daniel's Australian replacement will be her new man. And I cringe at that. They can write for him and for Rafe and for whoever Jordi will play and whoever Vincent will play but not for who they have? It just irks me.

Meh... He was blah from day one. Perhaps another recast would work. 

Another wasted opportunity – as Marlena's son, Eric should be woven strongly into the fabric of this show, especially with Sami gone.

Agree.  In theory.  But not if that means hanging onto Greg Vaughan (who really, REALLY should consider another line of work).

Poor GV. He can never catch a break but there was no real direction for this character from the start. Making him a priest and not going anywhere with it was hard to watch. I don't get why they didn't just put Eric back in his photography realm--like him having a job at The Spectator.  

Wuh?

Wonder how long before Frank gets him back on GH

I would certainly approve.  He is KeMo's last chance.  The only male she has ever shined with!

I agree. GV's Lucky and Sam were HOT. I always preferred this pairing to any Lucky or Sam pairing. 

If he signed a short-term contract extension, doesn't that mean he chose to leave? I wouldn't call that fired.

He probably took it because he didn't have other options available. He could still be fired for storyline purposes - it doesn't mean there is any bad blood. I preferred Eric the priest. DAYS is weird with the five-month advance to really know what's going on with contracts. I see a drunk driving accident where he kills Dr. Orange-A-Tang

Maybe Eric is sent to rehab

He's so pretty. Nicole could have worked a triangle between Eric and Brady for years to come.

Days needs to go ahead and let Bryan Datillo's weak ass go.  That 12th tier character, Lucas, has no reason to hang around Salem.  

 

Here, here!

Is she just going to pine for Brady yet again?

 

Probably.  Which is just stupid.  Nicole seems to get other women's men, doesn't she?  She needs a Doug in her life.  (No, I did not say needed Doug, lol.)

Another TomSell failure.

 

I'm not surprised, though.  When they brought back Eric as a priest (a REAL WTF move in my book) I knew the guy was doomed.

im wondering if GV will be named the new billy abbott on Y&R?

To be fair, Eric was never much of a character in the first place. 

Yep.

im wondering if GV will be named the new billy abbott on Y&R?

He's been on Y&R before, but that probably wouldn't stop JFP or Chuck Pratt.

im wondering if GV will be named the new billy abbott on Y&R?

That wouldn't be a bad idea!

he did play Diego Raul's brother on Y&R 2002-2003, but I wouldn't dream they bring him back...unless it turns out he is now Marco's son and is leader of a crime organization in Spain....
