Braeden and Heinle appear to be in a celebratory mood as they dance side-by-side after shooting their scenes together. "Happy to be finished with all the dialogue!" the actor captioned the post.
Eric's Young and the Restless co-stars couldn't help but express their delight seeing him with such energy. His other on-screen daughter, Mel Ordway (Abby Newman), applauds his dance moves with clapping hand emojis.
Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers) seems to enjoy Amelia and Eric's performance, leaving raising hand emojis in the comments section. J. Eddie Peck (Cole Howard) joins in the fun, calling Heinle "cute."
