"Survivor: Second Chance" fans probably still aren't over Joe Anglim getting voted off the island, but it won't be long before they'll get to see the fan-favorite, alongside the season's beloved winner Jeremy Collins, back on television.
The two "Survivor" hunks are making their way to soap operas as they will appear in an episode of "The young and the Restless," according to Soap Central. They taped their guest appearances for the CBS soap back in December, just hours after Collins was named the winner of "Survivor: Second Chance."
Collins and Anglim will play coffeehouse patrons opposite the character Nick Newman, who is played by real-life "Survivor" fan Joshua Morrow. At the time, Morrow posted a photo with the two from set.
"With two of my top 5 playas of all time," he tweeted.
With their episode airing this Wednesday, Jan. 27, the two explained what it was like going from reality stars to guest actors.
"The experience was amazing!" Anglim told Entertainment Weekly. "I just tried to take it all in. My grandma is a soap lover and I always remember them playing as a kid growing up at her house. I felt honored to even be asked to be on the set, let alone get to experience the magic of film and TV at CBS. I met many members of the cast and crew and had a great time visiting and talking 'Survivor.' It was great getting to know and working with Joshua Morrow and the rest of the crew. I'm so thankful for the opportunity and can't wait to watch on the 27th. Hopefully, I'll survive as a soap actor."
Collins was just as thrilled about the appearance. "'The Young and the Restless' was an exciting once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget," the million dollar winner said. "It was awesome to see some real professionals work their magic, I was just trying not to ruin the scene!"
Morrow also commented on what it was like working with two of his favorite castaways. "Having Joe and Jeremy on the show was a huge thrill for me," he said. "I consider myself a 'Survivor' professional and these two dudes are not only incredible 'Survivor' players, they are men with integrity and class as well as two of my all-time favorite players. They deserve all life has to offer them. Good things happen to good people and they are truly good!"
