Melissa Claire Egan Made Her All My Children Debut And Other Memorable Soap Events From July 10

In 2006, Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea, Young and Restless), pictured with Cameron Mathison as Ryan Lavery and Lucy Merriam as Emma McDermott, made her All My Children debut as Annie Novak. But she had actually appeared on the show years prior. The actress told Soap Opera Digest in 2007, "I wasn’t a child actor. But I grew up in Westchester, an hour outside of the city, and I would audition every once in awhile and booked some things. I had auditioned for the young Bianca, like a year before – didn’t get it, obviously [Gina Gallagher did] — and had watched the show as a kid, like, ‘Oh, that’s the one I auditioned for!’ So I was excited about it. I totally remember sitting in the green room with all the other extras – and now, my dressing room is right across the hall. It’s just so funny how things come full circle.”

In 2006, Carrie (Christie Clark) and Lucas (Bryan R. Dattilo) tied the knot on Days of Our Lives. The union didn't last long and was ultimately annulled; later that same year, Carrie remarried Austin (Austin Peck), her ex-husband and Lucas's half brother. Also pictured: Alison Sweeney as Sami Brady.

In 2006, Mackenzie Mauzy made her Bold and Beautiful debut as Phoebe Forrester, Ridge and Taylor Forrester's daughter and Steffy's twin. The character was born on screen in 1999 and played by a succession of child actors in her early years. Mauzy was the final actress to play Phoebe, who died tragically in 2008.

In 2012, Young and Restless’s Tucker McCall (Stephen Nichols) and Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) agreed to sign divorce papers. The pair, who tied the knot in 2011, would go on to remarry in 2023, but that union was also short-lived.

In 2015, General Hospital's Lucky Spencer dropped by Elizabeth Webber's (Rebecca Herbst) house with a major surprise: her back-from-the-dead son, Jake (then-James Nigbor). The little boy had been presumed dead after being the victim of a 2011 hit-and-run caused by a drunk-driving Luke, but he was discovered alive and (mostly) well, living on Cassadine Island, where Helena had stashed him.
