Days of our Lives spoilers tease Eric Brady might come back to Salem if Greg Vaughan’s hints bear fruit.

So, it could be that the NBC soap brings back Eric for a little arc for proper closure – or for a longer stay perhaps. Check it out.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Nicole Walker Name Drops Eric Brady Constantly

Lately, Eric Brady’s been on the tip of several tongues. First, is his cheating wife Nicole Walker. She talked about Eric a lot after she took that drunken and sketchy roll in the hay with Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer). She moaned on and on about what a great guy that her husband is, while Xander mocked her.

Then, Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) talked about her twin – and will some more. She’ll mention Eric when she confronts his wife soon. Sami’s certain that Nicole bedded Xander. And she’s right. So, she threatens to tell Eric. But, before she can dial her brother, her sister-in-law gets some dirt of her own.

It seems, per Days of our Lives spoilers, that Nicole gets an inkling that Eric’s twin sister did some cheating of her own. So, if Sami tells Eric Brady, then Nicole can tell EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). It’s mutually assured destruction. And that’s a plot worthy of Eric’s return. But will he be back for this DOOL twisted plot?

Greg Vaughan Hints at DOOL Comeback?

When Greg Vaughan left the NBC soap, he burned some bridges on his way out the door. The handsome and talented actor said he felt like a “glorified extra” in his storylines as Eric Brady. And it sure sounded like Vaughan had zero plans to return to the NBC soap. However, Days of our Lives is known for cycling characters in and out through its revolving door.

However, lately there are some little signs that the actor might have softened his stance. You can see below that he retweeted a fan collage of Eric’s engagement from 2020. When he re-shared it, he added “good days indeed”. So, some Days of our Lives fans are hoping this means he might return as Eric Brady soon.

There’s also the fact of the soap’s incessant mentions of him. It’s almost cruel to taunt fans with constant mentions of Eric Brady not to bring him back even for a hot minute. It was almost strange how abruptly DOOL exited Vaughan. They married Eric off then dispatched him from town ASAP. Then left it open-ended and aching.

Will Eric & Wife Get Closure and a Permanent Goodbye on Days of our Lives?

Right now, Nicole’s status with her husband is constantly up in the air and it’s disconcerting to DOOL viewers. With her married to Eric Brady, she can’t enjoy a romance. And she can’t be with the man she loves. The only way to solve this is to send Nicole off to reunite her with him – or to end their marriage once and for all.

They could do that without bringing back Eric Brady to Days of our Lives. They could simply write a trip for Nicole to confront her long-distance hubby. But it would give fans much more satisfaction for Eric to come back to Salem, at least long enough to sort out his marriage. And there’s also that cheating issue.

With EJ on his way back to Days of our Lives, it seems likely he’ll find out what Sami did. His sister, Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk), might blab to him since she hates Sami. And if he knows the truth, then there’s no reason for her not to tell Eric that Nicole got busy with Xander. So, we might see Eric Brady blow into town to confront his wife for shagging the man he hates.

Wait to see – but fingers crossed these hints mean something.
