You can still keeping up with your favorite actors in real time by going to their various social media sites. In case you are not following them, here is what 10 Soap veterans had to say recently on their Twitter feeds.
Dollar Bill
Don Diamont is the sarcastic but lovable Dollar Bill Spencer on The Bold and the Beautiful. He is a shrewd businessman and takes no prisoners. His character does not often express a softer side, but the actor gives sage advise about the pandemic by encouraging the wearing of masks and gloves.
Jill Abbott Atkinson
Jess Walton has the role of the amazing Jill Abbott Atkinson on The Young and the Restless. She is on a recurring basis now, but when she arrives in Genoa City her presence is felt. She recently shared a photo of her beautiful mother Geraldine who is 96 years young. What a blessing to live that long and still be in reasonable health. What a wonder life to have a parent live to that age who is still able to get around. This is absolutely amazing.
Carly Corinthos
The lovely Laura Wright portrays the complicated Carly Corinthos on General Hospital. She is the third actress in this role and has truly made it her own.?Her character is always front and center with most of the drama surrounding her family. Laura recently extended greetings to her followers and noted how every day of this quarantine is different from others.
Phyllis Summers
Michelle Stafford plays the trouble making Phyllis on The Young and the Restless. Not a day goes by where she is not scheming and scamming her way through Genoa City. This a woman is so beautiful and confident that she goes before the camera on social media without makeup on a regular basis. She looks absolutely stunning at 55 as she blows kisses to her fans.
Scotty Baldwin
Ken Shriner has been portraying Scott Baldwin off and on in Port a Charles for over 40 years. He recently shared a decades old photo where he is with General Hospital cast mate Sharon Wyatt who portrayed Tiffany Hill. Talk about a throwback. This was during the glory days of the soaps when viewers tuned in and did not want to miss on moment of action.No matter how old he gets, to some viewers he will always be Scotty.
Cane Ashby
Daniel Goddard was recently let go from his role as Cane Ashby after 14 years on The Young and the Restless. The actor admitted on social media that he was “gutted” and did not understand the decision to fire him. Even so, Goddard has continued to encourage his followers with almost daily inspiration on Twitter and Facebook.
Stone Cold Jason Morgan
Steve Burton who portrays Jason Morgan on General Hospital is one of the most popular actors in daytime. He is using the quarantine to actually phone his fans. That’s a great idea and a wonderful way to keep in touch with those who love the actor and his character. Ironically, Jason is aloof and has very little to say but th man portraying him has no problem reaching out to his loyal followers.
Crazy Quinn
The beautiful Rena Sofer portrays the crafty crazy Quinn Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful. She recently took to Twitter to promote Monte Carlo week on the CBS daytime drama. That’s already past but more classic episodes will air so stay tuned.
Bad Brad
Perry Shen has been missing from the screen in recent weeks on General Hospital. His character Brad Cooper is in jail and spoilers have not mentioned him in a while. Fans should not be worried because eventually all the sordid tales of the baby swap will come to light. In the meantime, Shen is sharing his love of cooking and his specialty seems to be hash browns.
Prince Spencer
Nicholas Bechtel has been portraying the littl prince Spencer Cassadine on General Hospital since he was a young boy. He’s now a teen and not so little anymore. In his last appearance in the show he was several inches taller and his voice had begun to change. Nicholas shares words of wisdoms from his mother and dons a mask. This is a wise young man.
Be sure to keep up with your favorite soap stars via Twitter and Facebook. Show them support by tuning in each day to The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, and General Hospital. The quarantine will soon be lifted and the actors can return to work. Before you know it, new episodes will be available and hopefully worth the wait.
