Jay headed out into the cold fountain water. Jason was supposed to follow him, but didn't come. Jay turned around and yelled for Jason to get out into the water with him. It was very cold. Photo courtesy of Sony Photographed by John Paschal

Jason eased his way out into the water. The guys were now ready to pose. Photo courtesy of Sony Photographed by John Paschal

And now for the closeups... Photo courtesy of Sony Photographed by John Paschal

One last pose. After Jason and Jay got out, they saw the sign...OOPS! Photo courtesy of Sony Photographed by John Paschal

Jason (L) and Jay (R) prepare for another round of photos. This set will show a bit more skin, so they figure they better do some pushups to prepare. Photo courtesy of Sony Photographed by John Paschal

The guys looked like they were busy washing the car. Jay waited for the magic word to start squirting at Jason. Photo courtesy of Sony Photographed by John Paschal

Jason and Kirsten hung out together during the NBC Soap Fan Fest in 2000. They also met up with Donn Swaby and Brooke Kerr from Passions. Photos courtesy of Sony

Kirsten told fans that Belle and Shawn had come close to kissing three times, but still hadn't. Kirsten herself is getting frustrated with this indecisiveness. {Photo courtesy of Sony.}

Jason and Kirsten made a perfect pair while signing autographs. Jason, right handed, and Kirsten, a lefty, were able to sign items for fans at the simultaneously, saving time for everyone. Photo courtesy Sony

While they don't like to be referred to as the "new Bo and Hope," Belle and Shawn were quite a couple at Bo and Hope's December 2000 wedding. Photos courtesy Sony

In 2001, SOD had their annual awards, but instead of being televised, the voting took place online and awards were handed out on each soap set. Days won 8 awards (more than any other show) and decided to throw a large party. Many actors and actresses who weren't working that day came in just to celebrate. Winners were: Alison Sweeney (Outstanding Younger Lead Actress), Jason Cook (Outstanding Younger Lead Actor), John Aniston (Outstanding Supporting Actor), Arianne Zuker (Outstanding Villianess), Kirsten Storms (Outstanding Child Actor), Bo and Hope (Favorite Couple), The Baby Switch (Favorite Storyline) and Days of Our Lives (Favorite Show). {Photo by JPI}

On June 28, 2001, NBC again celebrated the young stars of Days, along with other NBC shows with a party at the Sunset Room in Hollywood. The Days of our Lives stars that attended included Farah Fath (Mimi), Kirsten Storms (Belle), Heather Lauren Olson (Jan), Jason Cook (Shawn), Jay Johnson (Philip) and Aaron Van Wagner (Jason). {Photos courtesy Sony }

In the summer of 2001, Shawn and Belle were involved in the Tropical Temptation storyline. While on an environmental trip on an island near Puerto Rico, Belle and Shawn finally shared their true feelings. {Photo courtesy NBC }

In true soap form, shortly after becoming a couple, Belle and Shawn became part of a triangle. Jan confessed to Shawn that she was raped on the island and began looking to him for comfort and support. Let's hope it doesn't go any farther than that. {Photos courtesy NBC by Jeff Katz }
