On November 11, 2022, Days of Our Lives lost a legend. The entire Daytime community and fans came together to mourn the loss of actor John Aniston. His daughter, Jennifer Aniston, confirmed that John had passed away at the age of 89. The fine actor was best known for his role as Victor Kiriakis on DOOL. He debuted on the legacy soap in 1985 and remained a part of it till the end of his time. John even received Daytime Emmy’s Lifetime Achievement Award in June 2022 for the same role.
Hence, to honor John Aniston’s memory as Victor Kiriakis, on December 26, 2022, Days of Our Lives aired a special episode. The episode included a montage of several iconic moments from his whisker-short four-decade journey on the soap. However, now it’s time for Salemites to bid Victor a final goodbye, as he will soon be meeting his end on the soap. Generally, deaths don’t always mean the end of their respective character on soap operas. But sometimes, with their portrayers gone, they do become rather permanent. Like, Stefano DiMera’s.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers tease that Salem will soon be struck with the explosive news of Victor Kiriakis’ passing. Even though Victor was quite a vengeful character with many shades, he was also loved by many. Thus, his passing is going to have a lasting impact on the characters of the soap. For instance, the very fierce Maggie Kiriakis will take a huge hit by this loss. After a long time, we would get to see the vulnerable side of the formidable businesswoman she has grown to become.
Meanwhile, Victor’s nephew, Justin Kiriakis, too, will be devastated by his passing on Days of Our Lives. However, there is no news yet about what exactly the reason for Victor’s passing will be on the soap. So at this point, your guess is as good as ours!
