Immediately, the soap-hopper’s daytime family offered its support. Cameron Mathison (Drew, General Hospital) — with whom Budig was paired as All My Children’s Ryan and Greenlee — wrote, “I love you so much, peanut. I’m so sorry for your loss and thinking about you and the whole family this holiday season.”

Brandon Barash (ex-Stefan, Days of Our Lives) replied, “Same day as my dad. It’s a [lousy] club to be a part of. Send[ing] love.”

Budig’s General Hospital leading man Michael Easton — Finn to her Hayden — assured her that “all of our hearts are with you.”

All My Children pal Elizabeth Hendrickson (Maggie) — who is now Chloe on Young & Restless — said she was “sending so much love.”

Katherine Kelly Lang, who plays Budig’s Bold & Beautiful rival — Brooke to her Taylor — exclaimed that she was “oh so sorry! Sending lots of love to you!”

General Hospital stars Laura Wright (Carly) and Finola Hughes (Anna), Young & Restless’ Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea) and Hayley Erin (Claire)… everyone send Budig hugs via Insta. “Oh, Grandma,” wrote Tamara Braun (Ava, Days of Our Lives), “I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I’m sending you and your family so much love. RIP.”
