They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but we wonder what good is a picture when you can’t recognize the subject? Above is snapshot of a future star of soaps, but can you guess who this VHS holding wee-one grew up to be?
Star Of The Soaps
Obviously this young man (now all grown up) is either currently starring in, or is an alum of, one of the four remaining daytime dramas – The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and The Young and the Restless – but that’s probably not enough of a hint.
So try these on for size. His acting debut came courtesy of the short film One Easy Job. He has appeared in a number of projects for both the Lifetime network and Nickelodeon and he has also danced for a popular Disney film franchise. He is the lead singer of a band. He has only appeared on one daytime soap opera. And he is currently engaged to a fellow multi-hyphened personality.
But just who can he be? Is this a photograph of Brandon Beemer (ex-Owen Knight, BB), Freddie Smith (Sonny Kiriakis, DAYS), Ashton Arbab (Dev Corbin, GH), or Max Ehrich (ex-Fenmore Baldwin, YR)?
Brandon Beemer
Depending on whether you’re a fan of CBS or NBC programming, you probably know Beemer as either BB’s rarely dressed Owen or DAYS’ Shawn Douglas Brady. But Beemer is also an alum of GH (he played Seth in 2005). And since he’s appeared on three daytime shows, he’s automatically out of the running to be named today’s featured star.
Freddie Smith
Smith has been engaged to Alyssa Tabit – actress, author, and podcast host – since July 2018. And DAYS’ has served as his only entry into the daytime genre. However, his acting debut took place on an episode of Medium and he hasn’t appeared in programs broadcast of Lifetime or Nickelodeon – nor is he a singer. So he isn’t the answer to today’s identity query.
Ashton Arbab
And neither is Arbab. This in spite of the fact that he has appeared in a plethora of Nickelodeon and Disney fair – including episodes of Mutt and Stuff, Alexa and Katie, and Raven’s Home – and that he is a singer/songwriter.
Max Ehrich
Following his acting debut in the short film One Easy Job, Ehrich found himself working on the set of High School Musical 3: Senior Year as one of the cast’s principal dancers. Ehrich’s subsequent credits included The Pregnancy Pact (Lifetime), Shake It Up (Disney Channel), iCarly and 100 Things to Do Before Highschool (both for Nickelodeon).
When he isn’t acting, Ehrich works on his burgeoning singing career, saying he will soon have new music to release. He has been dating Demi Lovato since (at least) March 2020 and, as of July 22, the couple is engaged to be married.
So, if you guessed that the future star of soaps seen in the image above was Max Ehrich – who last appeared on YR in 2015 – then you were absolutely correct!
