Road Trip Romance

An escalating series of unfortunate events keeps delaying Megan’s journey (Natalie Hall) to her sister’s wedding — but the real kicker comes when she’s forced to take that journey with her high school rival Alden (Corey Sevier). Watch as the drama unfolds on Saturday, May 14, at 8 pm.

Romance to the Rescue

Kyra’s (Andrea Brooks, When Calls the Heart) manager Trevor (Nathan Witte) seems to check off all the boxes when it comes to what she’s looking for in a man. When her well-meaning co-worker informs Trevor, who happens to be a dog lover, that Kyra has an agility-trained dog, she plays along. However, when Trevor wants Kyra to enter her dog in the upcoming agility contest the store is sponsoring, she must adopt a dog and get him competition ready — ASAP! With the help of Mark (Marcus Rosner), who works at the dog rescue, she may pull it off and learn some lessons along the way. Don’t miss the fun on Saturday, May 21, at 8 pm.

Now that you’ve seen what Hall has been up to these days, take a look at our gallery below filled with All My Children then and now photos.

Most Popular

<p>Leave it to Tad the Cad Martin’s Emmy-winning portrayer to mature into not only the slyest of silver foxes but the perfect actor to play <em>General Hospital</em> ambulance-chaser Martin Grey.</p>

<p>With her 2021 Emmy win for her work as Jennifer Horton on <em>Days of Our Lives</em>, the erstwhile Dixie Cooney became the first actress to strike gold for three different soaps on three different networks in three different decades.</p>

<p>So popular was the Emmy winner’s pairing with Debbi Morgan as Angie Baxter that he was given a new character to play opposite hers on <em>The City</em>, his Jesse Hubbard was eventually resurrected, and the actors were reunited <em>again</em> by primetime’s <em>Our Kind of People</em>.</p>

<p>After decades of being teamed and reteamed with her <em>All My Children</em> leading man, the Emmy winner resumed her primetime career, scoring roles on, among other series, <em>Bigger</em>, <em>Power</em> and <em>Power Book II: Ghost.</em></p>

<p>To this day, we cast a skeptical side-eye at jet skis. But at least we can take some comfort in knowing that time hasn’t laid a hand on Jenny and Greg Nelson’s portrayers (the former of whom is now Jackie Templeton on <em>General Hospital</em>).</p>

<p>Correct us if we’re wrong, but in the decades since he debuted as Ryan Lavery, the only thing that’s changed about the actor (now Drew Cain on <em>General Hospital</em>) is that… he grew a little sexy stubble?</p>

<p>Even when she was a teenage brunette making a splash as Erica Kane’s “forgotten” daughter, Kendall Hart, there was no disguising the blonde ambition that would help Buffy’s future portrayer slay Hollywood.</p>

<p>Whatever happened to the boy next door who scrubbed in as Cliff “I’m Not a Doctor, But I Play One on TV” Warner? He evolved into one of daytime’s most respected leading men — and, as if you didn’t know, the one who plays Jack Abbott on <em>The Young and the Restless.</em></p>

<p>The gem who played Southern-fried Opal Cortlandt continues to work in TV and movies like the 2021 thriller <em>The Manor</em> (from which the more recent image is taken).</p>

<p>Long after leaving behind the role of baby-faced Jamie Martin, the hunk — married in real life to Alexa Havins, formerly Babe Carey — became a scruffy fixture in primetime.</p>

<p>It’s no wonder the actress remains a soap MVP (as<em> Young & Restless</em>’ Chloe Fisher). Even back when <em>All My Children</em> killed her off as Maggie Stone, her natural charisma was so undeniable that it prompted fans to demand that she be rehired as surprise twin Maggie.</p>

<p>Honestly, we could look at these two photos of Maria Santos’ former portrayer all day and still not be sure which one was “then” and which was “now.” (“Then” is on the left, though, if it was gonna cause you to lose sleep.)</p>

<p>Ah, some things never change. Whether the soap-hopper was playing Greenlee Smythe or <em>General Hospital</em> pot-stirrer Hayden Barnes, the mischievous gleam in her eye was impossible to miss.</p>

<p>After appearing in Christina Aguilera’s “Genie in a Bottle” video, the movie-star-in-the-making got his big break when he was tapped by <em>All My Children</em> to play dreamy, scheme-y Leo du Pres.</p>

<p>Since meeting when they were cast as future supercouple Hayley and Matéo Santos, the marrieds have gone on to become a Hollywood power couple — and, as a matter of fact, the twosome behind ABC’s primetime <em>All My Children</em> revival, <em>Pine Valley.</em></p>

<p>Aside from the facial hair — grown to play gunslinger Wild Bill Hickok — we’d swear that Jackson Montgomery’s real-life alter ego hasn’t aged a second, never mind a day, since the soap’s sayonara.</p>

<p>We can assure you that this is not an April Fool’s Day joke. Nor is it April Fool’s Day. These really <em>are</em> photos of the soap icon taken decades apart. Erica Kane’s portrayer simply remains as “sensuelle” as ever. (Props to the longtime fans who will get the reference.)</p>
