In 1996, GH’s Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson, l.) learned that Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) was his half brother.

In 2000, Guiding Light’s Cassie Layne (Laura Wright) married Prince Richard Winslow (Bradley Cole). It took three months to complete the beading on the elaborate wedding gown, which was done by hand by an artisan who also did beadwork for Bob Mackie and Michael Jackson. In 2016, Wright recalled to Soap Opera Digest, “I was about two months pregnant with [son] Little John and I was growing so fast. We did a bunch of photo shoots after taping the wedding and by the end, that dress wasn’t closing in the back! Shawn [Reeves, then-costume designer] was clamping it together for photos. That wedding was amazing. We couldn’t afford to do something like that now. It was over-the-top and just a blast.”
