Rumor Report: Greg Vaughan Spotted Near 'Beyond the Gates' Set in Atlanta as Casting Buzz Heats Up

Could a soap veteran be stepping through Beyond the Gates? That’s the burning question soap fans are asking after multiple online sightings of Greg Vaughan near the Atlanta-based set of CBS’s highly anticipated daytime drama. While no official casting announcement has dropped, the internet is already ablaze with speculation that the Days of Our Lives and General Hospital alum may be the latest high-profile name to join the star-studded ensemble.

Let’s connect the dots. Beyond the Gates is currently filming at Assembly Studios in Doraville, Georgia, and sharp-eyed fans have reported seeing someone who looks suspiciously like Vaughan entering the studio lot. Add to that a grainy photo floating around social media of a man who definitely fits Vaughan’s build and signature scruff, and the soap sleuths have already made up their minds.

To be fair, CBS has been keeping things tightly under wraps when it comes to new cast additions. The network recently teased the arrival of a “longtime soap favorite” joining the lineup. No names were confirmed, but you don’t need to be Victor Newman to put two and two together. Vaughan checks every box. Longtime soap resume? Check. Currently not tied to a front-burner storyline on any show? Check. Massive fanbase that would follow him into a burning building (or a new soap)? Big check.

Of course, this could all be smoke without fire. Atlanta is a growing hub for film and TV production, and Vaughan could be there for any number of reasons. Maybe he’s visiting friends. Maybe he’s filming a totally different project. Maybe he just really likes Georgia’s tax incentives. Who knows.

What we do know is this: when casting rumors start swirling this hard in the soap world, it’s rarely without merit. Whether or not Vaughan is officially slipping on a new role for Beyond the Gates, CBS would be smart to make it happen. He brings charisma, fan loyalty, and the kind of daytime credibility this show is clearly stacking up.

Until an official announcement drops, we’ll be watching those Atlanta sightings closely. And maybe refreshing his Instagram like it’s our day job.

Got a theory? A better sighting? A blurry pic that’s definitely him or definitely not? Slide into the comments and let the sleuthing begin.
