Goodbye, Genoa City, and hello, Los Angeles!

Young and the Restless favorites Cricket and Danny — played by Lauralee Bell and Michael Damian — are temporarily heading to another CBS daytime soap, The Bold and the Beautiful.

Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that the two will be heading to the City of Angels for a two-episode crossover on the latter show in August. According to the episodes' official synopsis, “Danny and Christine [Cricket] are invited to the Forrester Estate for a party celebrating the success of the relaunch of Brooke Logan’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) 'Brooke's Bedroom' fashion line… or so they think."

The logline further teases, "Little do Danny and Christine know, Brooke and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) have invited them to pitch a new business venture. Not to be outdone, Danny decides to give a surprise performance of his own to share with the partygoers."

In an interview with Us Weekly, which first reported the news, Bell said the appearances come as she and Damian are "celebrating our 40th anniversary as Cricket and Danny. So you pick up right where you left off. We're doing a remix of a big song from before, but you’ll have to wait and see what it is!" (The onscreen couple first met on the long-running soap in 1984, before marrying in 1990 — though they of course have gone through a number of breakups and makeups in the years since.)

Bell also told the outlet, "We're all so excited about this. Six months ago there was a rumor of me coming to B&B and I was like, 'If I am no one has told me!' This is such a perfect reason."

She continued: "What's great is we’re coming to L.A. just as our personalities back in the day, smiling and goofing along and being together. When you're in a deep storyline, there’s tears and drama and now we are at our happiest."

Cricket and Danny's crossover on The Bold and the Beautiful is set to air Aug. 13 and 14 on CBS, at 1:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT.
