All Work and No Play

Personal Space! Personal Space!
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI (2) Onetime Bold & Beautiful sisters Alley Mills (Pam) and Susan Flannery (ex-Stephanie) couldn’t have been closer. Literally.

Sofa, So Good
Image Credit: Disney General Entertainment Content/Getty Images No joke! In 1992, Loving introduced a whole gaggle of future stars: Paul Anthony Stewart (Casey), who’d go on to play made man Danny on Guiding Light, Laura Sisk Wright (Ally), who’d become the fourth Carly on General Hospital, Rebecca Gayheart (Hannah), bound for Beverly Hills 90210, Michael Weatherly (Cooper), now a primetime mainstay, Eden Atwood (Staige), who became a successful jazz singer, and Roger Howarth, who as of this writing is on his third General Hospital role.

Get Me to the Punch Line on Time
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI At the 2021 wedding of Young & Restless’ “Ashtoria,” the attire was formal; the atmosphere, hilarious. Just ask Jason Thompson (Billy) and Christel Khalil (Lily).

‘You Can Sit Under My Umbrella-ella-ella’
Image Credit: Jill Johnson/JPI No one was going to rain on Camila Banus and Brandon Barash’s parade when the Days of Our Lives co-stars got together in 2020 to pose for Gabi/Jake promo shots. And even if if someone tried, they were prepared!
-
The ‘Coy’ Next Door
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI (2) We have a feeling that picture No. 2 was the keeper from this 2010 portrait session with Bold & Beautiful heartthrob Don Diamont (Bill). But the other one is awfully cute, too.

Talk Is Cheap
Image Credit: Disney General Entertainment Content/Getty Images (3) So Vanessa Marcil and Maurice Benard could afford a lot of it when General Hospital photographed them in 2010 to herald the reunion of Brenda and Sonny.

Get It?
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI Dang, we only wish we’d been at the 2017 Picture Day that so cracked up Amelia Heinle (Victoria, The Young and the Restless).

A Real Pick-Me-Up
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI (2) Anyone else think that seconds before these images were snapped, Days of Our Lives’ Arianne Zucker (Nicole) had asked Eric Martsolf (Brady) for a lift? Just us? OK.
-
Hats Off…
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI … to Bold & Beautiful MVP Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy) for even thinking that she could hide her light — no matter how far down over her head she pulled her cap.
-
Can You Keep a Secret?
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI (2) As these 2017 images of Days of Our Lives’ Billy Flynn (Chad) suggest, the trickiest part about playing enigmatic on camera is how does anyone keep a straight face?
-
Wild Things
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI The romance of doomed Bold & Beautiful lovers Deacon and Macy brought out the punk rockers in portrayers Sean Kanan and Bobbie Eakes in 2003.
-
‘Did Somebody Say Cheese?!?’

-
‘But I Don’t *Need* the Heimlich Maneuver!’
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI Pictured: just one of the reasons Young & Restless‘ Kristoff St. John (Neil) is so missed by castmates like Bryton James (Devon). St. John brought joy to every room that he entered.

To Love, Honor and Wildly Amuse

Back and So Forth
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI (3) At a 2012 shoot for The Young and the Restless, Christel Khalil took the roundabout route to the picture-perfect portrait of herself as Lily.
-
… and Streeetch
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI Long before General Hospital tapped her to play Lulu, Emme Rylan was an old pro at being photographed from her stints as Abby on Young & Restless and here, Lizzie on Guiding Light (back in 2008).
-
Serious… Serious…
Image Credit: Sean Smith/JPI (2) Ooh! They almost had it. But in the end, taking intense shots as Young & Restless’ Mason and Summer in 2013 cracked up Lamon Archey (now Eli, Days of Our Lives) and Hunter King.
-
Cue the Drama
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI We said drama, not comedy. But there was no containing the tomfoolery that was on tap when Days of Our Lives’ Freddie Smith (ex-Sonny), Chandler Massey (Will) and Christopher Sean (ex-Sean) got together to memorialize their on-screen love triangle in photos.
-
Nice ’Stache
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI Eat your heart out, Victor Newman! The Bold and the Beautiful leading man Jack Wagner (ex-Nick) tried out a new look during a 2006 shoot with Lesli Kay (ex-Felicia). We kinda like it, actually.

Playtime

Who’s Your Daddy?
Image Credit: ABC No way, no how could General Hospital have decided that Finn was Chase’s father, not his brother — not when portrayers Michael Easton and Josh Swickard are so good at goofing around like siblings.
-
Happily Ever Laughter
Image Credit: Jill Johnson/JPI (2) Being as lovey-dovey as Days of Our Lives’ Galen Gering (Rafe) and Tamara Braun (Ava) had to be for the image on the left, you can imagine how they found themselves cracking up in the image on the right.
-
Strike a Pose… No, Make That *Many* Poses
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI (3) Young & Restless’ Joshua Morrow wasn’t just game for his 2012 photo shoot as Nick, he was game for anything — karate, jazz hands… You name it!
-
Mess With the Bull, Ya Get the Longhorns
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI In 2013, Bold & Beautiful castmates Lawrence Saint-Victor (Carter) and Texas Battle (ex-Marcus) spoke a little “sign language.”
-
‘Don’t Fence Me In’

Wet ‘N’ Wild

-
Put Up Your Dukes!
Image Credit: Sean Smith/JPI In 2015, Days of Our Lives‘ Camila Banus (Gabi) and A Martinez (ex-Eduardo) were clearly gearing up to deliver performances that were, ahem, knockouts.
-
Need a Lift?
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI Hitting the photo studio in 2009, General Hospital scene stealer Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) raised more than the spirits of co-star Kirsten Storms (Maxie) — he swept her right off her feet!
-
Knuckle Sandwich
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI From the looks of it, Bold & Beautiful leading man Darin Brooks (Wyatt) didn’t recall suggesting that Rachel Melvin put up even one duke during a 2006 Days of Our Lives shoot that focused on Chelsea and Max.
-
Fughedaboudit!
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI If only Young & Restless‘ Adam and Chelsea were able to resolve their differences with as much goofy good humor as Mark Grossman and Melissa Claire Egan brought to their 2020 shoot.
-
The Punchline Forms Here
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI (2) Real-life besties Kim Matula and Linsey Godfrey (Sarah, Days of Our Lives) couldn’t contain their glee at being paired for a photo op in 2013, when they were Bold & Beautiful castmates as Hope and Caroline.
-
Sharing Is Caring
Image Credit: Paul Skipper/JPI Nevertheless, Days of Our Lives’ Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe) wasn’t about to let Alison Sweeney (Sami) or Arianne Zucker (Nicole) get a hand in edgewise once she got a hold on James Scott (ex-EJ).

Nothing to See Here…
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI … just Young & Restless alum Adrienne Frantz (ex-Amber) putting the squeeze on onetime castmate Vail Bloom (ex-Heather) during a 2009 photo op.
-
Rock On
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI At least we think that’s what Days of Our Lives’ Casey Moss (ex-JJ) and Kevin Riggins (ex-Rory) were trying to do in this 2013 pic. That, or they were playing a game of cat’s cradle with invisible string.
-
They’ve Got a Point
Image Credit: ABC If the question was, “Where’s the camera?” General Hospital castmates Sofia Mattsson (Sasha) and Chad Duell (Michael) nailed the answer.
-
At Long Last Love
Image Credit: Brian Lowe/JPI (2) Or maybe it’s “at long last laughs”? Either way, Days of Our Lives’ Deidre Hall (Marlena) and Drake Hogestyn (John) couldn’t resist injecting a little levity into a Monte Carlo shoot.
-
Up, Up and Away
Image Credit: Olycom/JPI Photographed in Rome in 2010, the sky was the limit for then-Bold & Beautiful castmates Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy) and Brandon Beemer (ex-Owen), who is now Shawn on Days of Our Lives.
