How Will Victor Kiriakis’ Tribute Be Written?
Days Of Our Lives spoilers reveal that according to People executives are still trying to decide how to do this. “In terms of how we plan to complete Victor’s storyline, that is still being discussed,” a soap spokesperson added. Of course, 30 years is very hard to condense into a one-hour show. Aniston’s tribute will stream on Peacock.
Aniston passed away Friday at the age of 89. Jennifer Aniston, of Friends fame, announced her father’s passing on Instagram Monday morning. Jennifer posted several photos of them together saying, “You were one of the most beautiful humans I ever knew. “I am so grateful that you went soaring into the heavens in peace — and without pain. And on 11/11, no less! You always had perfect timing. That number will forever hold an even greater meaning for me now. I’ll love you ’til the end of time.”
DOOL Spoilers: Victor Kiriakis Aired On The Day John Aniston Died
It turns out that ironically, John appeared as Victor the day he died. Victor had scenes with Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) as Maggie Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) pushed the two of them to make up. Victor had recently argued with Xander about him not having a job causing Xander and Sarah Cook (Linsey Godfrey) to move out.

Telfer told People saying he was a better actor for working with Aniston, “He was my mentor on the show in as much as Victor was Xander’s mentor within the narrative. Mostly because being around him, learning the lessons of brevity and wit and strength, all the things I hope to continue on from his style and bring into mine, ultimately it’s just gratitude in being exposed to such a consummate actor.”
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Ken Corday Shared His Sentiments
Along with several other members of the Days Cast and crew, Ken Corday, Executive Producer Of Days Of Our Lives, made the following statement. “It is with a heavy heart that we confirm the passing of one of our own — our beloved and legendary cast member and dear friend, John Aniston. It is truly unimaginable to think he won’t be stepping foot on our set again, but it’s comforting to all of us to know that he is at rest and no longer in pain. John was one of the best — kind, smart, witty, and incredibly talented.
It is enormously fitting that he received the Emmy for Lifetime Achievement this past year. There is no question that all of us at Days will be mourning this great and profound loss. John was an icon, but even more so, he was a pillar of strength and unity for our Days of our Lives community. He, along with our Victor Kiriakis, will forever be in our hearts. Our love and support goes out to his family and all those who knew him.”
Aniston was truly loved and respected by everyone he worked with on Days. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. John will be missed by all.
