Real-life best friends Doug Davidson (a fan fave for his run as Young and Restless's Paul Williams, l.) and Rick Springfield (ex-Noah Drake/Eli Love, General Hospital) took fans along on their recent dining excursion. "Luncheon with the BFF! @rickspringfield at the lovely @rosewoodmiramarbeach it was great!!👍" posted Davidson. Rock star Richard Marx replied to Springfield's repost of the chummy pic, "Feeling very left out! 😂" and Davidson playfully responded, "rain check!!" Davidson's former Genoa City wife, Lauralee Bell (Christine), also got in on the action, commenting on Davidson's Instagram, "Greatest twosome at the greatest place! 😍" Fun fact: Springfield accompanied Davidson to his original Y&R audition way back in 1978!

GH star Jophielle Love (Violet Finn) recently reunited with both of her former on-screen parents — Rebecca Budig (ex-Hayden Barnes; now Taylor Hayes on Bold and Beautiful) and Michael Easton (ex-Hamilton Finn). The young actress wrote on her Instagram, "Double date Sunday … Always big smiles when we are together !" Easton told Digest earlier this year, "I have such an affinity for Jophielle, honestly. I have a daughter and it’s very hard not to look at her and feel the same way for Jophielle."
