Days of Our Lives Eric Brady – Moving Forward
Greg feared he didn’t have enough material for his 2018 Emmy reel. However, in his interview he said: “There was no substantial, front-burner storyline, there were just a lot of good moments.” That shouldn’t be a problem for next year’s real.
Eric Brady has had some good storylines so far in 2018 and things only seem to be getting better. He lost the love of his life, Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker), thanks to his step-brother Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). Eric has fallen in love again, this time with Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) and is now engaged. His mother was shot by his twin sister after he grabbed the gun. Soon Eric will find out about Brady’s betrayal and learn Nicole didn’t willingly leave him. Eric will go on a quest to find Nicole and make an unexpected discovery. These storylines are sure to put Eric on the front burner of Days of Our Lives for some time. All the while giving him lots of juicy material for his next Emmy reel.
