Kristian Alfonso (Hope Brady, Days of our Lives/Beyond Salem) replied, “Oh my goodnesssssssss 😍😍😍Congratulations Larry &Olivia 🙏 Welcome to the world Abel 💫💫💫💫.”

“Congrats!!!👏👏❤️❤️,” wrote Tracey Bregman (Lauren Fenmore Baldwin, Y&R).

The Young and the Restless fans probably remember Scott Reeves from his stint as Ryan McNeil in Genoa City, while General Hospital fans knew him as Steven Lars Webber. Of course, he even took a turn on DAYS as Jake Hogansen, where he met his wife.

As for Melissa Reeves, daytime fans know her best as DAYS’ Jennifer Rose Horton Deveraux, but she also was part of the original cast of Santa Barbara as Jade Perkins. No doubt viewers would love to see these two back on daytime, but for now, they’re enjoying their growing family.
