There is no confirmation from the show at this time.
Of course not. The show doesn't confirm anything anymore.
That means it will be up to GV to tweet a confirmation sometime soon.

Meh, I've never seen any of his work and a quick google search tells me that he's too old to be Sami's twin or Roman and Marlena's kid. Their last few attempts at stunt casting SUCKED (see: Braun, Brown, and Buchanan 2011-2012). But he's nice to look at so I'll just shut up and wait.

I'm okay with this, I liked him on Charmed, but he better not get EM fired!! I will not be happy if that happens. If however he leads to Dan's leaving Salem, I will jump for joy.

None of those are examples of stunt casting. Stunt casting is what Y&R does with Eric Roberts, Sean Young, and the Dukes of Hazzards woman, among 1000s of others. Those are all actors from this genre of television. And he looks younger than Alison Sweeney. I wouldn't expect them or anyone else to narrow their search down to an exact year. People do not necessarily look their exact age.

EJ to Sami: What? That we have this connection together, Samantha? Body and soul. It's forever. That's the truth of the matter.

That's great news. I love the twins and I need E.J. away from Nicole. This should do it, no way will she ever choose E.J. over Eric!

Eh to him being Eric. I always wanted Vaughan as Brady. I think Vaughan could play Hogestyn's son very well. But I am glad that Eric seems to be coming back to Salem, even with Vaughan playing the role, which I find to be a miscast. It gives Marlena even more staying power, you would think. There is absolutely no reason why Eric has been off-screen for as long as he's been.

I do think Vaughan and Zucker will have good chemistry, so I can't wait to see that on-screen.

I don't know what it is about Greg Vaughan in this role, but people have theorized him in it for years despite him looking nothing like Jensen Ackles, Alison Sweeney, Deidre Hall or any Roman, and despite him being a touch old for it. But his is always the first name suggested.
I was just about to bring this up. I like Greg but I never envisioned him for Eric Brady. I always thought he would be GREAT for Shawn Brady. I could see him in that role because he just looks the part. I could buy him as the son of Bo and Hope. Not sure I can buy him as Roman and Marlena's son and Sami's twin BUT he's a good actor and he will be a much better screen partner opposite Arianne Zucker than Eric Martsolf is. She will also have sizzling chemistry with him too.

I like Martsolf but unless they can get Nadia Bjorlin back, I think his time may be up, sadly. I don't know what they can do with him.
He is too old to play Shawn though. He is going to be 40 next year.

Meh, I just hate it when they go after big named soap stars for the sake of it. For example, they got Sarah Brown and everyone was soooooo excited for it. They developed the character of Madison seemingly for her. But the character sucked because they didn't take the time to flesh her out. They assumed that since SB was playing her, she would stick. Same with Ian.

I'm hoping that it will be different since Eric is an established character. But I'm not holding my breath based on this guys YT reels. He just doesn't seem like Eric to me. And I still say that while he's pretty, he looks too old.

EM's Brady has had zero to do and he is quite boring. But the finail nail in his coffin, was Bradison. They ruined Brady by putting him with Madison.

I love the chemistry between AZ and EM, so I am hoping hat Brady and Nicole will remain friends. A triangle with Eric, will bring Marlena and Johnn into it, but I am so sick of triangles.

Did DAYS ever even confirm Blake Berris returning? There's been so much going on with this show I really can't remember.

I'm sorry but Greg as Shawn? In THEORY, yes, but logically, NO. I can't even imagine them trying to say Kristian Alfonso is playing his mother. Especially when Shawn should only be 26ish.

In my imagination, I'm wondering what Kate Mansi and Greg Vaughn could do in scenes together, should the show really want to pursue an older man/younger woman romance. I think GV would do great with AZ as well, but Eric's romantic options are limited if they don't bring in another woman who isn't related to everyone.

Still, it's good news if he is coming aboard.

This could actually be good. Abigail is related to every guy in her age group besides Chad and Leno, but the chemistry stinks. Eric is related to everyone on the show besides Nicole in his group. It could work.

I'm glad that Marlena is getting her son back. I could give two shits about Roman feels.

Yeah Vaughan is way too old to play Shawn. He'd be perfect as a Brady recast though. But I guess I'll settle for Eric.

I think it is because he is an outstanding actor, he is hot and he just looks like someone who would work in the role on DAYS.
