Young & Restless’ Hunter King Reveals What Her Days of Our Lives Leading Man Did to Shock Her: ‘I Did Not Expect That!’
The last time Soaps.com caught up with former Young & Restless alum Hunter King, she was talking about corgis, crowns, and Christmas. This time around, it’s all about brides, bouquets, and bows for her latest Hallmark movie, The Professional Bridesmaid, co-starring another familiar daytime face, Days of Our Lives alum Chandler Massey. She plays a professional bridesmaid who lands a high-profile wedding where she must keep her true identity a secret. Of course, Massey is the nosy town reporter who is not only looking for a scoop, but he’s also looking for love.
