Confirmation from CBS and Production Team

A representative for Beyond the Gates confirmed Vaughan’s addition to the series in a statement to Soap Opera Digest, saying:

“We can confirm that Greg Vaughan will be joining Beyond the Gates this season. More details to come at a later date.”

Fans have been eagerly speculating about which soap veteran would arrive at Fairmont Crest since show creator, head writer, executive producer, and showrunner Michele Val Jean first hinted at a major casting announcement.

Earlier this summer, Beyond the Gates Executive Producer Sheila Ducksworth and Michele Val Jean teased Deadline that “a hot male familiar to soap fans” was joining the cast.

Val Jean further told Deadline,“I think the soap opera world will be very, very happy about the casting. And it’s a male.”

Ducksworth added, “I can’t say who just yet, but I will say longtime soap fans all know and love him.”

In a fall preview with TV Insider, Val Jean hinted at even more surprises ahead, stating, “There’s going to be another surprise down the road that soap fans will like.”

As Beyond the Gates tapes approximately four months in advance, fans should stay tuned for updates on when Greg Vaughan’s much-anticipated debut will air.
