Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! And the stars of daytime, past and present, got into the spirit on March 17 — and shared all the fun on social media!
Whether they are of Irish descent or not, stars from GENERAL HOSPITAL, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, DAYS OF OUR LIVES, ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE drew upon four-leaf clovers, rainbows and lucky charms to get in the festive mood in celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. “Sure I’m wearing green, but you’d almost have to pinch me for me to believe this is my life,” wrote Jen Lilley (ex-Theresa, DAYS), who shared multiple photos of her festive family. “I’m so incredibly grateful for my husband and children.”
