Two worlds collide when soap alums face off in a new primetime killer drama.

Soap fans will be in for a real treat come 2023. People has learned that Selling Sunset fave and Days of Our Lives and Young & Restless alum Chrishell Stause (ex-Jordan; ex-Bethany) will star opposite her former All My Children castmate Colin Egglesfield, along with Laura Ramsey, in a new Lifetime thriller set to premiere next year titled A Rose for Her Grave.

Based on Ann Rule’s 1993 true-crime book of the same name, the movie will follow the real-life crimes of notorious serial wife-killer Randy Roth (Egglesfield) and the woman, Lori (Stause), who finally puts an end to his reign of terror.

It all begins after a single-mom named Cindy (Ramsey) loses her husband and eventually finds love again with mechanic Randy Roth. After their wedded bliss wears off, she uncovers a dark side to her new husband. Her best friend Lori sees it too and begs Cindy to leave him. However, she doesn’t get the chance and turns up dead after drowning during a family trip to the lake with Randy and the kids.

Randy doesn’t show any signs of emotion following her death and demands that his wife be cremated immediately — not only that, he takes custody of Cindy’s kids and plans to collect on her life insurance policy. Wanting to uncover the truth surrounding her best friend’s sudden passing, Lori digs into Randy’s past and learns that Cindy may not have been the only wife who had been murdered at the hands of the madman.

Of the role, Stause teased, “Excited for this! AMC alums unite and [you’re] about to see me in a way you definitely haven’t before.”

Talk about a thriller! We can’t wait to see these two former soap faves together again onscreen.

For those who don’t remember, in Pine Valley, Egglesfield played Erica Kane’s son Joshua Madden and set Stause’s Amanda Dillon up to go down for sabotaging his mother’s new show when in fact he was the one behind the scenes trying to destroy the project — and Josh even drugged Erica, which he also tried to pin on Amanda.

‘Grave’ Matters Reunite All My Children Co-Stars In a Way You Definitely Haven’t Seen Before

<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>
