I think Ron Hale was the only RH actor who moved to GH during the Labine era.

I think so, too. Probably more would have joined if not for the East Coast/West Coast thing.

@Faulkner Add Vincent Irizarry to the Friend of Jill list.

I think Maura West and definitely Paul Leyden followed Hogan Sheffer over to Y&R after ATWT ended.

That was CBS' doing who orchestrated Maura West's hiring via Sony Pictures Television. I don't believe West went to The Young and the Restless simply because Paul Leyden was in a short-term role, or because Hogan Sheffer was there as co-head writer. Not to mention, West had already begun filming as Diane before Leyden even began filming as Blake. West debuted in October 2010. Leyden debuted in November 2010.

More to add to FOJ

Jason Thompson from GH to Y&R.  He specifically said in a 2016 interview that JFP brought him to Y&R.

Hunter King from Hollywood Heights to Y&R.  But I don't know if she'd consider herself a "friend" of Jill.   Jill brought her over to Y&R but I wouldn't say Hunter "followed" Jill. Hunter was  a teen when she got hired at Y&R.  So maybe she simply took a job she was offered.

 

Michael E. Knight from AMC to Y&R as a Friend of Chuck Pratt (and Jill).
This 2015 interview in which MEK praises Pratt is mind-boggling:

When Mal Young took over at Y&R, MEK was out at Y&R.

Had JT, but added HHK, thanks!

How about Lane Davies? He went on GH under JFP's watch and they had worked together on SB (with NLG).

CBS didn't want to lose Maura West to ABC or Days, that's why she was brought on to Y&R. Diane was the wrong role though. I thought Maura would've been better suited as a Grace recast.

That FOJ list- do we count someone like Zaslow?  He was on GL before she arrived and after.  I know she brought him to OLTL for a very short term return but that was more for him due to his illness than a typical FOJ situation.

There are a few in there that are borderline, and his situation was particularly unusual.

Such a shame GL didn’t want to let him tell a story for Roger about having ALS.  I think that would have been particularly powerful for Roger, and poignant and important for the audience and Zaslow.

Indeed. Disgraceful. I only wish social media existed back then so that MADD could have been properly roasted.

Which supports my theory that a lot of actors are interested in getting screentime ,whether it makes sense for the character or the overall benefit of the show or not.

Which is understandable,to a point.
