In an unexpected turn of events, Days of Our Lives (DOOL) fans witnessed the departure of two beloved characters, Eric Brady and Nicole Walker, as they left Salem for a new life in Paris. This twist caught many viewers off guard, especially considering Arianne Zucker’s previously announced exit from the show. The assumption had been that Eric would remain in Salem, but the writers crafted a storyline that ultimately united the couple in their departure.
The farewell episode saw Eric and Nicole embark on their Parisian adventure, taking baby Jude with them to start their new family. While this exit provides a satisfying conclusion to the “Ericole” storyline, it has left fans with mixed emotions. A show source has hinted that this may not be the last we see of Eric, though the details of any potential return remain unclear.
Greg Vaughan, who portrays Eric, shared a cryptic message on his Instagram stories, suggesting that his departure was not entirely of his own volition. “I didn’t leave by choice,” he wrote, accompanied by a broken heart emoji. This revelation has sparked speculation about the circumstances surrounding his exit and the possibility of a future return to the show.
The departure of these two integral characters has undoubtedly left a void in the DOOL canvas. Fans have expressed their hope for Eric’s return, with many voicing their desire to see him raise Jude and build his family in Salem. However, the current storyline presents challenges for a immediate return without undermining the couple’s happy ending.

Deidre Hall, who plays Eric’s mother Marlena on the show, shared a heartfelt farewell post on Instagram, praising Vaughan’s kindness, caring nature, and commitment to his family. Her words were echoed by other cast members, including Robert Scott Wilson and Martha Madison, who expressed their admiration for both Vaughan and Zucker.
This isn’t the first time Vaughan has bid farewell to the role of Eric Brady. His previous departures and subsequent returns have given fans hope that this exit may not be permanent. The nature of soap operas often allows for character comebacks, and Eric’s strong ties to Salem make a future return a distinct possibility.
As viewers come to terms with this surprising development, they’re left to wonder about the future of Days of Our Lives without these two fan-favorite characters. The show’s ability to weave compelling storylines and introduce new dynamics will be put to the test in the wake of Eric and Nicole’s departure.
For now, fans can only speculate about what the future holds for Eric Brady and hope that his story in Salem is far from over. As the sand continues to flow through the hourglass, only time will tell if and when we’ll see Eric back on our screens, hopefully under happier circumstances than his last return.
