‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Eric Released from Prison, Returns to Life in Salem – Still Has a Shot with Nicole?

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers tease that Eric’s (Greg Vaughan) return is getting closer. The new year will be here before you know it and many Days fans are anxiously awaiting Eric’s comeback. On January 17, the big day will finally arrive.

Eric was sentenced to five years in prison, so DOOL will need to work some legal magic to get him out. That’s not a huge deal since Gabi’s (Camila Banus) lengthy murder sentence was drastically reduced. Days of Our Lives buzz suggests they may even get creative with Eric’s release.

It’s possible that new facts will emerge surrounding the crash and Daniel’s (Shawn Christian) death. We do know that Greg Vaughan had some input in his return storyline. It makes sense that the show would want to minimize the damage done to his character.

Of course, Days may not want to complicate things with a flood of fresh details. It’s too early to say where DOOL might be headed with this plot. Whatever the case, there are ways of getting Eric off the hook and maybe even reducing his guilt a little.

Nevertheless, Daniel is still dead and that’s going to be an issue as Eric readjusts to life in Salem. Prison has undoubtedly changed Eric. He’s toughened up and he’ll have a hard time engaging with his loved ones again.

Marlena (Deidre Hall) and Roman (Josh Taylor) will be thrilled to have their son back, but they’ll also be worried. They’ll do everything they can to make Eric’s transition a smooth one. Eric will have to interact with Nicole (Arianne Zucker) as well. She’s been hesitant to forgive Eric so far, but she could rethink that down the road.

Days of Our Lives spoilers hint that some major shifts are coming for Eric and Nicole’s relationship. Deimos (Vincent Irizarry) definitely has a dark side and Eric may sense that right away. He might try to protect his former flame if she gets in over her head.

Eric’s love for Nicole is what drove him to drink in the first place. He waited too long to make his move and he’s been kicking himself ever since. Will Eric and Nicole get a second chance at love? Rebuilding their friendship would be a nice start.

From there, Nicole could learn to love Eric once more. He would certainly have no problem with it. Days of Our Lives spoilers indicate that Greg Vaughan will be sticking around, so that’s good news. However, Vaughan’s role on OWN’s Queen Sugar could force Eric off canvas for a couple of months.

Perhaps Eric could get back to photography. That would be an easy way to explain Eric’s absence while Vaughan films season two of his other show. Eric could simply shoot pictures somewhere exotic and return when the job has been completed.

Regardless, Days viewers are gearing up for Eric’s homecoming. We’ll give you updates as other details emerge. Stay tuned and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest Days of Our Lives spoilers, updates and news.
