Is this the end of the road for Greg Vaughan’s time on Beyond the Gates as Dr. Kial Rollins? It sure seems that way after the Daytime Emmy winner took to social media to make a cryptic post, and his co-stars responded in the comments.
Vaughan shared the post on Instagram, writing, “My heart is full. My purpose is just getting started. I’m grateful for my life, my family, the people who consistently show up, and the lessons that shaped me. Every challenge has become preparation. Every blessing has become perspective. I haven’t arrived. I’m simply grateful for how far God has brought me, and excited for everything that’s still ahead.”
He would go on to caption the post, “Thank you to everyone who’s been part of my journey. Family. Friends. Fans. Colleagues. Your encouragement has meant more than you know.”
Then, he finalized his post, writing, “Here’s to the next chapter.”
While fans immediately began looking into the post, assuming that the “next chapter” comment pointed towards an exit from the newly Daytime Emmy-nominated soap opera, one comment from Beyond the Gates co-star Robert Christopher Riley (Dr. Carlton Fitzgearld) indicated that he has left the series, writing, “Love and Miss ya buddy.”
While Vaughan was only on Beyond the Gates in a recurring role since his debut in 2025, fans have enjoyed his budding relationship and love triangle with Daphnée Duplaix's character Nicole Dupree Richardson opposite Riley’s character Carlton.
Vaughan’s daytime credits include appearances on The Young and the Restless as Diego followed by a successful run on ABC’s General Hospital as a recast of Lucky Spencer, the legacy child of Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) and Laura Webber (Genie Francis), before portraying the legacy character Eric Brady, son of Roman Brady (Wayne Northrop and Josh Taylor) and Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall).
If Vaughan is exiting Beyond the Gates, fans are hopeful that with a new writing regime in play at Days of Our Lives, Eric Brady may return home to Salem once again.
Beyond the Gates airs weekdays on CBS and streams weeknights on Paramount+. Viewers can catch up on all of the action from the first episode, including Vaughan’s arrival, on Paramount+ or on Pluto TV’s dedicated 24/7 Beyond the Gates FAST channel, with the first season also having just recently joined Tubi.
