Eric Brady as a priest?

Days of Our Lives has confirmed that Greg Vaughan has been cast as Eric Brady, Sami's twin brother and Nicole Walker's first love interest. On August 13th, Kristian Alfonso tweeted a picture of herself, Eric Matsoff (Brady), and Greg Vaughan on the set.  In the photo it looks as if Eric has become a priest.  In an interview with EW, Vaughan said this about his new character: “He’s been a world photojournalist. He’s just a guy who has a found a new direction in life. He has kind of re-gravitated in a different direction, more so than what the audience expects. The question will most likely be why he has chosen this new direction in life.”

I have to say my first opinion of this is WHAT? Who in the world wants to watch Eric Brady as a priest? I was already having a hard time with Greg Vaughan being Alison Sweeney's twin because Vaughan looks much older than Sweeney from the photos I've seen.  But a priest?  We did the priest thing with John Black a few years back and unless someone's gonna be possessed by the devil then I'm not really into doing it again. Hopefully bed-hopping Nicole will get Eric to turn from the priesthood.
