‘Days Of Our Lives’ Comings & Goings: JP Lavoisier, Louise Sorel & Ivan G’vera Are Back While Greg Vaughan, Brandon Barash Depart
The door continues to revolve in and out of Salem, as Days of Our Lives prepares for its 60th Anniversary celebration.
Returning to the Peacock sudser today is JP Lavoisier as Philip, followed by the return of the beloved Louise Sorel as the villainous Vivian and Ivan G’vera as Ivan Marais next week.
Out the door on Oct. 28 for now is Brandon Barash as Stefan and Greg Vaughan as Eric. As is typically the case in the soap world, departures don’t last forever — especially since DOOL shoots nine months in advance.
