As previously reported, daytime veteran Greg Vaughan (“Days of our Lives,” “General Hospital”) is joining the cast of “Beyond the Gates.”

On Friday, the daytime drama series confirmed that the actor will portray the recurring role of Dr. Kial Rollins, a widower and father of two grown adult children, both male, and an orthopedic surgeon. He begins airing on Monday, December 8.

Kial (pronounced like Kyle) is athletic, personable, and spontaneous. After his wife died a few years ago, Kial became a traveling physician, allowing him to explore the country, experience different cultures, and meet interesting people. Kial has romanced women, but hasn’t met the one who could get him to settle down again – will a blind date change his mind? Kial’s game to find out.

The blind date appears to be with Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnée Duplaix), who is currently living the single life after learning her husband of many years, Dr. Ted Richardson (Ketih D. Robinson), had previously been unfaithful with Leslie Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant), which included his siring a child out of wedlock. Said child, Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle), conspired with her mother to ruin Nicole’s life, only to learn the truth later.

Check out a sneak peek photo of Vaughan below.

Let's hope it's a precursor to a contract.

I'm excited for this and yes let's hope he's eventually on contract!

I don't think JL is on contract and that certainly hasn't stopped them from frontburnering Joey. Anyway I'm just glad he's finally here.

I often wonder if JL wants to be on contract cause recurring gives him the option to do outside stuff like he has been doing for years

How fitting, we meet Dr. Kial Rollins on my birthday. I am super excited and I hope he eventually ends up on contract sooner than later.

I love that BTG has such a large cast. I wonder if that’s because they don’t have to worry about paying them outrageous amounts of money since they have no vets on the show?

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BODY IS READY!!!

I was thinking the same thing. Great minds. Especially given how DAYS has treated him over the years.

Lindstrom has been recurring since the beginning.

I was incorrect. Greg is currently recurring, though not opposed to being on contract down the line.

Oh I know, he's on recurring at GH too, that's why I said I think it's his choice to be recurring on both shows

I bet the big four (Anita/Vernon/Nicole/Dani) are paid pretty well since they're vets, but you're right, the others are probably pretty cheap. Filming in Atlanta I think is much cheaper too compared to CA (from what I've heard).

But I think GH has the biggest cast of all - they have SO many characters, contract and recurring, full of soap vets, it's wild.

To be clear, I was previously told he was on contract, but I have since been corrected, particularly as Greg himself told me he's not on contract.

Thank you, Errol!!
