There will also be an appearance of one of Fenmore’s employees, Trey (Julian Larach) and he will have some interesting dish.

Four decades means there will be tons of flashbacks, including way back to the 80s when big hair ruled!

At some point Lauren will have occasion to look back to the past during her party and that’s when the real fun will begin. Right beside her is husband Michael Baldwin and we can’t wait to see the savvy lawyer who also had quite the past, including one with Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) back in the day.

This episode will be very welcomed as 2023 kicks off.
