There are tensions in Beyond the Gates after one of the women finally confessed to a secret she’s been carrying for years. It’s a secret involving a man from her past who broke her heart and vanished without a word. Her revelation has left those around her reeling, but what no one expects is how soon the past will walk right back into her life. Because the man she’s been talking about… is on his way to Fairmont Crest.
A Familiar Name Resurfaces Behind the Scenes
Not long ago, Beyond the Gates creator and showrunner Michele Van Jean hinted that a “male soap vet” would soon join the cast, teasing fans with promises of a surprise addition. During her TV Insider interview, she said viewers would be caught off guard and she wasn’t exaggerating. Van Jean had previously worked with the actor during his run as Lucky Spencer on General Hospital from 2003 to 2009, and it seems their creative paths are crossing once again.
The actor in question, Greg Vaughan, is no stranger to the world of daytime drama. He’s spent over two decades winning over fans with emotional performances and heartfelt portrayals. After his time on General Hospital, Vaughan moved to Days of Our Lives in 2012, where he played Eric Brady, a role that would define much of his career. His portrayal earned him the 2018 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor and cemented him as one of soap opera’s most beloved leading men.
Greg Vaughan Joins Beyond the Gates
According to Soap Opera Digest, Greg Vaughan is officially joining Beyond the Gates in its highly anticipated second season. CBS confirmed that the Days of Our Lives and General Hospital alum will appear later this year. Although his first air date and character details are being carefully kept under wraps. What makes his arrival even more intriguing is how naturally it fits into the show’s unfolding drama.
Fans have already begun to speculate that Vaughan’s character could be tied to the emotional confession. The producers aren’t giving anything away. But if there’s one thing Beyond the Gates does best, it’s turning secrets into scandals. Before his success on GH and DOOL, Vaughan also appeared on The Young and the Restless as Diego Guittierez.
As autumn arrives, the drama is only heating up for the Dupree family and those tangled in their orbit. And with Greg Vaughan stepping in, viewers can bet that it is going to be a stunning return.
