‘I’ve finished my reign at Days,’ Vaughan said on the podcast, before referring to a controversial move by NBC with the soap opera.
Back in November, NBC released all of the Days of Our Lives cast members from their contracts as a cost-cutting measure, just before they renewed the show.
Vaughan referred to their decision, adding, ‘I’m taking a break, if you will. Days was going through a renewal negotiation and not knowing where they were going to go.’

He did give a shout-out to his fans on Days Of Our Lives, hinting that there’s still a chance he might come back.
‘I love you all, and it’s never over, so I’m not gonna say it’s over,’ Vaughan said, adding he had a ‘great opportunity’ to star as Calvin on Queen Sugar.
Greg added that he thought his time on Days of Our Lives, ‘was coming to an end, anyway’ but he still has episodes ‘airing out.’

He added he was back to film Queen Sugar Season 5 for a week but they had to shut down production after just one week due to COVID-19.
‘We were in full production and we had a conference call with the cast and Ava (DuVernay),’ and they said there weren’t enough cleaning supplies to keep the set safe so production was shut down.
There is no indication when production will resume in New Orleans on the new season of Queen Sugar just yet.
