Love in the afternoon is translating to real-life as General Hospital's Adrian Anchondo (Marco Rios) and Days of our Lives' Colton Little (Andrew Donovan) have revealed their romance on Instagram.

A vacation to remember for two daytime stars

Anchondo shared a series of fun vacation snaps of the pair on Instagram on the evening of December 30. "This Christmas made my heart pop 🥹 Thank you, Puerto Rico and Florida," Anchondo captioned the photos. The pics show Anchondo and Little enjoying time on the beach, time with what appears to be family, and just time with each other.

The GH actor later told Michael Fairman TV how he and Little met earlier this year, with soap operas bringing them together.

"I reached out to him when I got the job on GH," Anchondo said. "We knew of each other through mutual friends, so I knew of him for a long time. I started asking Colton about what his experience was like on soaps and asked about SAG health insurance, etc. We met up one night and were hooked from then on."

Anchondo came to the attention of General Hospital fans this year when he debuted as Marco Rios, a handsome stranger Lucas (Van Hansis) met at a Florida resort. Marco was soon revealed to be the son of Sonny's (Maurice Benard) new pal, Natalia Ramirez (Eva LaRue), and Sonny's new enemy, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota).

Lucas and Marco are now living together at Wyndemere, but Lucas doesn't know that his new boyfriend is heavily involved with his father's dangerous and illegal operations and has been lying to him and keeping some pretty big secrets. Marco has also vowed to get revenge on Sonny because he thinks that the mobster is responsible for his mother's death.

Over in Salem, Little, who has recurred as legacy character Andrew Donovan since 2020, got to be the groom in an on-screen wedding in June when Andrew, son of Kimberly Brady (Patsy Pease) and Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy), married Paul Narita, John Black's (the late Drake Hogestyn) son, with Tori Narita (Naomi Matsuda). Little still makes recurring appearances when various Salemites need ISA help.
