WE GO TOGETHER
Greg Vaughan (Eric, DAYS) and long-
distance lady love Angie Harmon do a lot of
traveling to be together, which means a lot of
trips to the airport. “I make friends with
people because I’m really getting familiar
with the airport and the staff,” he reports.
“When Angie’s there and they see us both
together, it’s a lot of DAYS fans, a lot
of QUEEN SUGAR fans [where he plays
Calvin] and a lot of [her shows] RIZZOLI &
ISLES and LAW & ORDER fans. When the
kids come in, we make a big scene at the air-
port, welcoming the kids and embarrassing
them. We’re like, ‘Hey! We’re your family.
Welcome!’ Angie is the biggest clown. It’s
so funny to see this personality of this incred-
ible woman light up. Every day is always
something new. It’s this modern day Brady

Bunch, but at the same time it’s blending
families and personalities.” Vaughan appre-
ciates the positive feedback he’s gotten from
fans online about the relationship. “The love
and support from people or just the interest
alone is warm,” he smiles. “It’s very kind.
We’re just living our life and putting it out
there ’cause it’s funny. There’s more fun that
goes on that’s behind the scenes than what
we show. I feel very blessed to have found
somebody that I can have this partnership
with. We are each other’s anchors. We are
each other’s rock. It’s nice to know she’s got
my back as much as I have hers.”

SHOW & TELL
It’s been over a decade since he last appeared in daytime, and
soap veteran Gordon Thomson (ex-Mason, SANTA BARBARA et al)
enjoyed his short stint on YOUNG AND RESTLESS, where he played
Daryl Tulane. “It was a lovely experience but fast beyond belief,”
the actor marvels. “Joshua Morrow [Nick], Melissa Claire Egan
[Chelsea] and myself got together for scenes and 50 minutes later,
we were done. I began at 8:35 in the morning and [was] out by 9:25.
That’s insane, but that just shows you the great teamwork on Y&R. I
was happy that I kept up because after we were done, Joshua said to
me, ‘This is not your first time at the rodeo, is it?’ and I said, ‘Oh, no,
it’s not [laughs].’ ” Thomson was also an impressed observer. “I came
down to set to stand by and had the chance to watch and listen to
Melissa and Catherine Bach [Anita] rehearse together,” he shares. “I
saw a really dedicated, patient, loving interaction emerge from them
as they worked and it was a real treat for me.”

Gordon adjusted to
the fast pace of Y&R.

DAYS’s Greg has found true
love with Angie.
