Patricia Heaton and Ray Romano reunite to celebrate 30 Years of Everybody Loves Raymond at special event in New York City
Patricia Heaton and Ray Romano reunited at PaleyLive: 30 Years of Everybody Loves Raymond in New York City on Monday.
Patricia and Ray, who played the lead roles in the American sitcom, appeared in high spirits as the special event.
The actress, 67, looked typically chic in a black satin midi dress with a large collar and quirky belt detail.
She completed the look with chunky angle books and a stylish handbag, while keeping accessories to a minimum with just a few rings.
Meanwhile Ray, 67, looked smart in a cream blazer, teamed with a grey T-shirt, trousers and trainers.
The event, which also included other cast members like Brad Garrett and Maggie Wheeler, saw them reminiscing about the show and its enduring popularity.
Maggie opted for a gold blazer and trouser co-ord, with a sheer white blouse underneath as she cuddled Patricia in on snap.
Before the event, Patricia wrote on Instagram: 'Taking a moment to reflect. On my way to the Paley Center's 30 year tribute to Everybody Loves Raymond.
'Tonight I'll be with old coworkers -but more importantly, old friends. The cast and crew of Everybody Loves Raymond was rare. We weren't just punching the clock together -we were telling stories, raising kids and growing in so many ways.
'I'm also reminded of the ache of those we've lost. I know Peter, Doris and Sawyer are will be sharing this moment with us in spirit, smiling.
'I'm sure I'll be posting a bunch of the behind the scenes photos this week. Indulge me ;-) this was a wonderful group and a wonderful time. I thank God every day for this blessing.'
Everybody Loves Raymond followed successful sports writer Ray (Romano) and wife Debra (Patricia) as they tried to cope with living across the street from his domineering mother Marie Barone (Doris Roberts), gruff father Frank (Peter Boyle), and jealous brother Robert (Brad Garrett).
Ray and Debra also had three children on the series - daughter Ally (Madylin Sweeten), and twin boys (played by Madylin's real-life younger brothers, Sawyer and Sullivan).
But any hope for an Everybody Loves Raymond reboot was recently extinguished by star Brad Garrett.

Brad, who appeared in the sitcom as Robert Barone, addressed rumours of a reboot while attending the premiere of his new film Disney Pixar's Elio.
Garrett said the reason the show could never return is due to the deaths of Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts, who played Romano's parents in the series.
Veteran actor Peter passed away in 2006 at 71, and Sawyer Sweeten, who played one of Ray and Debra's twin sons, died in April at just 19.
He told People: 'There is no show without the parents.
'They were the catalyst, and to do anything that would resemble that wouldn't be right to the audiences or to the loyal fan base. And it was about those two families, and you can't get around that.'

Dominic Sessa transforms into tragic young Anthony Bourdain in biopic
Dominic Sessa has transformed into Anthony Bourdain while filming scenes for the upcoming biopic Tony earlier this week in Massachusetts. The actor, 22, could be seen stepping into the shoes of a younger version of the late celebrity chef while on the set of the A24 project in Provincetown on Thursday. Bourdain was known for starring in shows including the Travel Channel's No Reservations and CNN 's Parts Unknown before his tragic death by suicide in 2018 at the age of 61. Dominic wore a pair of black flared pants and a red button-up, which was layered with a black leather jacket, befitting of Seventies style. The actor also sported brown curly hair as he shot scenes on a ferry. Dominic was seen holding a conversation with another person while leaning against a railing as the ferry slowly moved along the water. While the official synopsis has remained under wraps, the biopic is set to follow Bourdain's summer in 1976 in Provincetown, where he had his first introduction to the restaurant industry. In April, it was revealed that Antonio Banderas has also joined the cast, although his role is not yet known. The movie will be directed by Matt Johnson, with a screenplay by Todd Bartels and Lou Howe. Bourdain began his career in the food industry while studying at Vassar College and took on jobs at seafood restaurants in Provincetown. In an interview with Boston Magazine in 2017, the TV personality reflected on his time in the seaside town. He said: 'It's a very emotional place for me. I came of age there in the early Seventies in a very magical, golden, naive time that I don't think we'll see the likes of again.' 'And I will say being in Provincetown when I was 17… it was predominantly gay, as it still is. It was a time in history of boundless optimism when we really thought anything was possible. 'I think of the people I lived with and worked with and who befriended me then… whatever value system I learned then informed what came later.' Bourdain further reflected: 'That's where it all started for me. Those were the kitchens that formed my expectations. I thought it was going to be like that forever.' And while talking to The Guardian that same year, the author talked about his first job as a dishwasher in the Massachusetts town. He said: 'I only became happy - in fact, intensely satisfied - as a dishwasher at a restaurant in Provincetown in Cape Cod, my first job.' The late star added that he had been 'a shy, goofy, awkward teenager. But in this blue collar, factory-like environment, there was no blurred line, no grey area, no philosophical question to fret over. He said: 'Dishes had to go in the washer and come out taintless and doing this swiftly and competently meant I was acknowledged as a human being by colleagues I wanted to be like. The day they promoted me to dunking fries I was overjoyed.' Anthony had also been candid about his past drug use during his youth, and he later quit heroin in the Eighties. He had told The Guardian: 'I was an unhappy soul, with a huge heroin and then crack problem. 'I hurt, disappointed and offended many, many, many people and I regret a lot. It's a shame I have to live with.' He later dropped out of university and graduated for the Culinary Institute Of America in 1978. The star notably worked as a chef in restaurants in New York City throughout the Eighties and Nineties. He had also been the executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles, beginning in 1998. Anthony penned a number of books during his career, including as Kitchen Confidential: Adventures In The Culinary Underbelly (2000), which became a New York Times bestseller. The chef had also written articles for publications such as The New Yorker - which published a popular excerpt of Kitchen Confidential before its publication - The Los Angeles Times, Esquire, and The Independent. He gained wider recognition due to his television appearances after hosting shows including Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (2005–2012) on the Travel Channel. The digital series Explore Parts Unknown (2017) garnered the star an Emmy win for Outstanding Short Form Nonfiction Or Reality Series. Bourdain tragically died by suicide in France at the age of 61 while filming Parts Unknown.

In the lead up to this year's Back Lot Bash, the Bulletproof star had appeared as the main headshot on the event's promo flyers. On ticket website Do312 the festive had been billed as the '21st Annual Back Lot Bash with Jojo Siwa'. The news comes just days after Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo announced she was also postponing her American tour. The star had an 11-date run of gigs booked back home in the States in July. But during the week, JoJo - who has been practically inseparable with Chris Hughes since meeting him on CBB in April - dropped the bombshell.
