The cast was all smiles, reminiscing about their time on the show, and said it was very rare to see the entire cast together for one photo.

All 38 current cast members were present and seen in the stunning photo. Cast member Beth Maitland shared, “Never mind that we’re all kind of dusted off and looking our very best, it’s unbelievable to have this much companionship and the years of watching each other grow.”
