On June 18, it was Father’s Day, and if you looked through social media on that day, you probably saw a lot of messages and images honoring some great men. On Instagram and Twitter, celebrities from GENERAL HOSPITAL, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, DAYS OF OUR LIVES, ALL MY CHILDREN, ONE LIFE TO LIVE, GUIDING LIGHT, and AS THE WORLD TURNS praised their fathers, stepfathers, husbands, and even their own kids!
Josh Swickard (Chase, GH), for instance, was the subject of a video montage created by his wife Lauren. Lauren shared some of her favorite moments with her attractive husband and their two children, toddler Savannah and newborn Arthur, set to the melody of “Little Hands” by Inland Sky.
Swickard’s wife wrote, “Dada’s got you safe” — forever and ever. “We love you, Dada! You are reliable, dependable, and seductive. I wish you a happy Father’s Day.
1.Lisa LoCicero (Olivia, GH)
LoCicero, who sadly passed away in November last year, celebrated her first Father’s Day without her cherished father this year. “We miss you today, Dad,” she wrote, posting an old photo of the two of them together when she was a young child.
2.Alison Sweeney (ex-Sami, DAYS)
Sweeney created a wonderful photo collage of memorable family times with their children, Ben and Megan, to commemorate her husband, Dave Sanov. “Happy Father’s Day to this wonderful, devoted, and encouraging father and spouse. We appreciate everything you do for our family. You are top-notch! I adore you, you.
3.Melissa Ordway (Abby, Y&R)
I hit the dad jackpot, but I’m not sure how I got so lucky. Ordway made these remarks about her father John and ex-husband Justin Gaston. “Present, calm, collected, kind, funny, dependable, great… I could talk about these two men for hours. I’m grateful to have a fantastic father and to have a fantastic father raise my girls. I really do love you both.
4.Matt Cohen (ex-Griffin, GH)
Cohen lauded his wife, Mandy Musgrave, as he thought back on his role as a parent to son Mack. “I’d want to thank Mack Attack for keeping me a fool and you for making me a husband! I didn’t believe in marriage or having kids when I was a child. I lacked a model to follow. The finest thing I’ve ever tried to do in my life is get married and decide to start a family! I’m really appreciative to these two! 🤡 #1❤️ #2🤡 #2”
5.Darin Brooks & Kelly Kruger (Wyatt and ex-Eva, B&B)
In a gesture of respect, Kruger related a story about her first encounter with Evie and Gemma’s father. Happy Father’s Day to every wonderful father out there, but especially to this one. I recall thinking that there couldn’t possibly be anyone more opposite than me when we first met. You made the ideal best friend for a man. I made an effort to pair you up with my pals who I believed would get along. I’ve always said that you’d be a wonderful husband and parent to a very lucky girl.
It’s mind-blowing to even consider the fact that girl became me and that we would have two more girls. Who knew that having such opposing views would make life so interesting and lead to such conflict #1,” she added.
The benefit of being so diametrically opposed is that our daughters get to experience the best of both of us. You are strong where I am weak (math). Where you lack humor, use common sense. I’m powerful, despite (all my hippy wife nonsense). You already know all of my advantages and disadvantages, so I won’t mention them here. It’s fascinating to watch them develop into such authentic tiny copies of us. We’re extremely appreciative.
6.Lauralee Bell (Christine, Y&R)
“Scott, happy father’s day!” Bell included a picture of her husband and their children, Christian and Samantha, when they were babies in a letter to her other half, Scott Martin. “The kids have known you would do whatever to make them feel loved, safe, supported, and protected since the playdate in the crib! Every day, we all feel so fortunate! Best Dad, you are loved by us.
7.Cameron Mathison (Drew, GH)
Before talking about what fatherhood means to him and wishing his dad, Bill, a great day, Mathison quoted Mike Myers: “Anyone who tells you fatherhood is.”
Leila and Lucas, I truly lack the words to express how much you mean to me. Hopefully when you become parents, you’ll comprehend #3. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, especially my wonderful dad.
8.Eric Martsolf (Brady, DAYS)
Martsolf’s wife, Lisa, wrote a blog post praising her husband and identifying a few qualities she appreciates in Chase’s and Mason’s father. “You lead by example. You have a strong commitment. Every star and moon would be pulled down for us by the depths of your heart. You make our house giggle. In our opinion, you are the ideal father a woman might want to have for her children. Greetings on Father’s Day to our everyday hero. The moon and back…”
9.Michelle Stafford (Phyllis, Y&R)
The actress paid tribute to Michael Stafford and Eddie Adams, two guys who have had a significant impact on her life. “My father and stepfather. How fortunate I am #4 Two great men.

This morning I’m having coffee with Kaley and watching To Kill a Mockingbird on TCM. As I watched Atticus, the ‘ideal’ father, I began to think of all the wonderful guys I have been blessed with. Men who spent the time to impart their knowledge, instill morals in me, inspire me, provide for me, and uphold my integrity. You all know who you are, and I owe you all so much. All the great men out there have a happy Father’s Day. I’m really excited to join the group. Love you Kaley, and I appreciate all the

13.Courtney Hope (Sally, Y&R)
Hope sent her father, Phil, a letter wishing him a happy father’s day. “My first best friend and the first man I ever loved. You set such a high standard. I am incredibly appreciative of my relationship with my father. One of the biggest things he’s given me is his patience; other gifts include insight and direction. I couldn’t ask for a greater father; he is truly unique. I adore you.

Around the Zamprogna household, Father’s Day was a day of chores! In reference to his daughters Anbilliene, Eliana, and Adeline, he added, “I made them clean the garage with me.”
18.Walt Willey (Jackson, AMC)
Willey spoke briefly about his real-life children after praising his fictional children (Lily, Reggie, and Greenlee).
