The lead singer of Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong, shared a video of a Young and Restless scene with Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Summer (Hunter King) taped while watching TV several days ago. In the clip, Armstrong can be heard saying, “I want to be on a soap opera so bad.” In the comment section, Camryn Grimes (Mariah Copeland) posted in all caps, “This is my show I am on it please come back and visit for the love of God *deep inhaling but not in a creepy way*.” So had he visited or was he just watching the scene on TV and pining? Well, a new post appeared yesterday on Armstrong’s account, a photo taken on the Young and Restless set behind-the-scenes. It certainly looks like the singer of hits such as Good Riddance and Holiday had his wish come true. Soaps.com will keep readers updated as to any confirmed appearance in Genoa City.

Galen Gering has been playing Rafe Hernandez on Days of our Lives since October 31, 2008. The actor recently did an interview with Cliff Dorfman, a screenwriter, film director, and actor on his podcast where they discussed Gering’s contract status at Days of our Lives. Gering says, “The fact of the matter is, I might as well say it. I don’t know how long I’m going to be on the show . . . what the next chapter holds. If I’m staying, if I’m going, I know I’m definitely going for a bit, you know what I’m saying.” When Dorfman asked if he was returning to Salem, the actor said, “Well, I have a couple weeks of shows to do,” and admitted it was to wrap things up and spread his wings. The actor is interested in writing and to become a part of directing. Soaps.com has since learned that his last tape date is Thursday February 13. Since the show has already taped up to August 2020 and they’ve returned this week to tape scenes from August onward, it’s likely his last airdate will be in August or September.
Galing was introduced to Days of our Lives as an FBI agent who came to Salem at the request of Roman Brady, in order to guard his daughter Sami Brady who was targeted for murder since she stumbled upon the Mayor Anthony Marion’s dead body with the killer standing over him. Rafe stayed with Sami at a safe house and the two didn’t get along right away.
