However, things may be even more emotional for their son, Aiden. After all, Lucky Lucky has missed a lot during his absence, including a key moment in Aiden’s life.
Remember when Aiden came out to Liz back in December 2023? Subsequently, the reunion will likely be bittersweet for the lad as he navigates the emotions of reuniting with his dad. It’s going to be a roller coaster of feelings for everyone involved. Cassidy is quickly settling into his role of Aiden and already praises his on-screen mom.
The actor called Rebecca Herbst (Liz) “incredible” and a joy to work with. Now, let’s talk about his real-life family, who are over the moon about his new gig. Colin revealed that his family is even more excited about his debut, saying they’re his biggest supporters. He joked that he might watch his scenes and think, “Eh, I could have done better.”
However, his family will be there to tell him he’s Oscar-worthy. Anyway, this recast marks another chapter in Aiden’s history on the ABC soap. Since his on-screen birth in July 2010, the role has been recast multiple times. Initially, two sets of twins portrayed him as a baby, followed by Jonathan Jackson’s real-life son from 2011-2012.
