Five Things That Happened On April 30 In Soap History

In 1992 on Guiding Light, Hampton Speakes (Vince Williams) and Gilly Grant (Amelia Marshall) were serenaded by Roberta Flack at their wedding reception. The late songstress was a real-life fan of the show.

In 2007 on Bold and Beautiful, Taylor Hayes and Nick Marone's (Jack Wagner) wedding day arrived. The couple was excited to begin their married life, and to start a family together with the help of IVF. Meanwhile, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) realized that she wasn't quite ready to accept that her ex, Nick, was moving on with Taylor. Brooke went to the church where the ceremony was scheduled to take place and sneaked into the groom's quarters, where she implored him to change his mind about saying, "I do" to Taylor.

In 2014, Bob Barker, the legendary former host of The Price is Right, played himself on Bold and Beautiful. His scene partner Scott Clifton (Liam) enthused to Soap Opera Digest, "When really big people come in to do the show, you have no idea what to expect. Sometimes, you're walking on eggshells, but I found myself really appreciating him as a person. I love how conscientious he is, and just to hear him talk about this issue he's so passionate about was a real treat for me. He is genuinely concerned for the well-being of these animals. I came away from this with so much respect for him."

In 2014 on General Hospital, Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) delivered shocking news to Britt Westbourne, informing the doc that they were siblings! Britt was gobsmacked as Nathan explained that the woman who raised him, Madeline Reeves, was actually the sister of her birth mother, Liesl Obrecht — and that Liesl had actually given birth to him, as well! The revelation of their biological relationship was unexpected, to say the least, as the pair had almost hooked up after they first met!

In 2021 on Days of Our Lives, Jake DiMera (Brandon Barash) was crestfallen when Kate Roberts, his lover, ended their relationship. Little did he know that the woman dumping him — over their age difference, she said — was not actually Kate, but was Kristen DiMera disguised as Kate!
