Sad news about the passing of #Days legend #JohnAniston. Since his debut as the inimitable Victor Kiriakis in 1985, John has given us an iconic villain with a softness for family & his son Bo. Our hearts are heavy but as we say in Greek, may his memory be eternal.💔@peterreckell pic.twitter.com/6xUlhB5lkN

John Aniston is gone.
I was expecting this, but it’s leveling me.
The beauty of soaps is the fact that we welcome these actors into our homes daily. Victor Kirakis has been a part of my life as long as I can remember.
He will be sorely missed. #Days #JohnAnistom
