Soap Stars Celebrate National Siblings Day With Love in Family Photos
Daytime actors honor their on and offscreen siblings.
Though not federally recognized (but it is the goal), April 10 was National Siblings Day. The date was chosen to honor the birthday of the holiday’s founder Claudia Evart’s sister Lisette, who she lost early in life along with another sibling. Evart also started the Siblings Day Foundation non-profit, which was incorporated in 1997 and hosts programs such as Lost Siblings Registry, Adopt-A-Siblings Program, and Siblings Rights Projects, all in the name of enhancing and strengthening the sibling bond. The day is taken as a way to honor “the people who have shaped our values, beliefs, and ideals.” The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and The Young and the Restless stars got in on the celebration by posting photos of their real, fictional, and non-related brothers and sisters, which Soaps.com has compiled below.
