Five Things That Happened On June 2 In Soap History

In 1980, Phoebe Tyler (Ruth Warrick) and Langley Wallingford (Louis Edmonds) wed on All My Children. Marring the festivities? The groom, who passed himself off as a worldly professor, was actually a con man who had originally pursued Phoebe for her money! On the day of the wedding, Myrtle Fargate finally realized why Langley seemed so familiar to her — she had known him back when he was still using his real name, Lenny Wlasuk! Myrtle confronted Langley, who swore up and down that he truly loved his bride, so Myrtle agreed not to spill his secret. Worried that he would be exposed, Langley swiftly departed with Phoebe for a honeymoon post-ceremony.

In 1989, supercouple Mason Capwell (Lane Davies) and Julia Wainwright (Nancy Lee Grahn) wed on Santa Barbara. The first of their three successful trips down the aisle was scripted by Patrick Mulcahy and infamously featured unique vows once the groom discovered that he'd accidentally pocketed the wrong piece of paper. "Milk, butter, ground beef....This I pledge you for the rest of my days," intoned Mason, reading from a grocery list.

In 1995, One Live to Live’s Bo Buchanan (Robert S. Woods) and Nora Gannon (Hillary B. Smith) were married. Their loved ones planned a somewhat more traditional (and stiffer) ceremony, but the fun-loving bride and groom just weren't feeling it. They decided to postpone the nuptials and flee from the chapel, but before they did, Max Holden revealed his surprise guest: Little Richard! The rock legend convinced them to stay (“Let’s have some fun!”), so she shucked her conservative bolero, revealing a bodice of stretch sequin, and they boogied back down the aisle — together. With Little Richard officiating, the couple said, “I do” their way, with Nora promising, “I will cherish you as long as I live.”

In 2015 on Young and Restless, Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John) signed his divorce papers, ending his marriage to Hilary Curtis (Mishael Morgan). The duo's union had been torn asunder by Hilary's affair with Neil's adopted son, Devon, who later became Hilary's husband.

In 2022 on General Hospital, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) was shocked to discover that the man who had just parachuted into the pool at the Metro Court was none other than his old summer camp buddy, Cody Bell (Josh Kelly).
