Eric Dane's Ex Shares Emotional Reaction to Final ‘Euphoria' Scenes

Eric Dane's final scenes on "Euphoria" are already hitting viewers - and ex-lovers - hard.

The late actor's former girlfriend, Priya Jain, shared an emotional reaction after watching Dane return as Cal Jacobs in the show's third season, which was filmed shortly before his death.

"I have been watching. It is an incredible show and a great season," Jain told TMZ on Monday, April 27. She also praised Dane's final performance, saying, "Eric is incredible in everything that he has ever been in. It is amazing to see him act."

Jain spoke emotionally to the outlet about what it means to see Dane onscreen one last time. "He is so talented, and I love watching him as an actor," she said. "Of course, I wish he was here to see it himself."

Dane first joined "Euphoria" when the series premiered in 2019, playing the complicated father of Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi). He returned through season two, with fans later questioning whether he would return after repeated production delays combined with his declining health.

Dane sadly passed away in February 2026, with his family confirming his death to PEOPLE, saying: “With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS.”
