On the “Days of Our Lives” Instagram, family shared the tragic news, writing, “It’s with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Their beloved.” Despite the fact that his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer was a life-altering event, he met the challenge with extraordinary fortitude and tenacity.
They went on… “He gave an incredible battle and died quietly in the company of his loved ones. He was the most incredible performer, grandfather, parent, and husband. He enjoyed taking the stage with the best cast, crew, and production team in the industry and entertaining the “Days” audience. We shall always mourn him and we will always love him.
He debuted on the program in 1986. He portrayed the multi-talented spy, police officer, private investigator, and secret agent John Black! He made appearances in over 4,200 soap opera episodes.
In terms of romance, there aren’t many soap opera standouts, except than Luke and Laura. His persona is right up there with Deidre Hall’s portrayal of Marlena Evans.
He appeared in several shows, such as “One Stormy Night,” “Night Sins,” “Generation,” and “Beverly Hills Cowgirl Blues.”
He was seventy.
After being hospitalized for a frightening sickness, Greg Vaughan is now on the mend; it seems that his condition was caused by getting too high, too quickly.
The soap opera star, who is best known for his roles as Lucky Spencer on more than 600 episodes of “General Hospital” and Eric Brady on nearly 1,000 episodes of “Days of Our Lives,” shared a few pictures of himself using an oxygen machine earlier this week.
Fans were reassured by Vaughan that he was alright earlier, but that he had to head to the emergency room due to a severe case of altitude sickness.
GV claims that after taking his kids to Breckenridge, Colorado, for a skiing and snowboarding vacation, he began to feel exhausted, congested, and out of breath only a day into what was meant to be an enjoyable, stress-free holiday.
Greg claims that despite taking several NyQuil and consuming a large amount of Pedialyte, the issue persisted, and he ultimately had to go down the mountain to get help.
Even though he didn’t think the problem would be too serious, Vaughan is fortunate that he didn’t try to fight through the sickness because, according to him, his blood’s oxygen level was a pitiful 54% and fluid was filling his lungs.
According to Vaughan, they gave him a couple IVs and advised him to fly to a lower altitude.
In the end, Greg wants to use his ordeal as a teaching opportunity to warn others that the Rockies are dangerous and to exercise caution while planning their next ski vacation.
Greg, I’m glad you’re doing better. From “General Hospital” to usually hospitalized
