Always Part Of The Family
Last year, Wayne sadly passed away from complications from Alzheimer’s Disease. Soon after, it was revealed that his son Hank would be joining DAYS. Hank is the son of Wayne and General Hospital star Lynn Herring (Lucy).
After months of waiting, due to DAYS’ advanced filming schedule, Hank finally made his debut as Liam. Hall took to Instagram to share her excitement over having him in Salem.
The actress posted a picture of the two of them posing for a selfie backstage at DAYS.
“It’s finally here!! Hank Northrop joins Days!!! He’s yummy in this ‘full circle’ moment. Enjoy. Let me know what you think!” read the caption on her social media share.
Fans quickly populated the comments to answer her question and give their two cents on having another Northrop on the show.
“Such a great tribute to his parents. Remember how great his dad was on Days,” wrote a fan. Another fan shared, “So good to see Hank on the show! ⏳💙.”
A different fan stated, “This photo is iconic ! Oh the history !” “I love the heritage here! ❤️😍,” expressed a fan.
“Truly a full circle moment. Wayne would be so happy. Bittersweet moment. ❤️@hank_northrop,” declared another fan.
One fan said what all DAYS fans are thinking, “Hope to see him in scenes with you! So excited to see him on the show!”
Fans will no doubt see Hank and Hall in scenes, especially considering Wayne’s on-screen history with Hall.
It was a treat, though, to see Hank’s first scenes with the legendary James Reynolds (Abe). After all, Reynolds and Wayne were partners in crime when the latter was on the show.
