Beloved ‘Days of Our Lives’ Icon Has ‘Sweet’ Moment With Former Co-Star originally appeared on Parade.
Days of Our Lives icon Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) got a special shoutout from her former co-star, Trevor Donovan (ex-Jeremy). The two had a recent run-in that left quite the impression on the 90210 alum.
Taking to X, Donovan revealed that a trip to Mammoth left him feeling nostalgic. Seeing Evans after many years reminded him of his time on Days of Our Lives.
“Ran into Mary Beth Evans in Mammoth. She plays Kayla Brady on Days of our Lives. She said, ‘Weren’t you on Days?’ I said yeah, and she goes, ‘I knew I recognized you, you look exactly the same. Good for you.’ 😂 I remember her being super kind and patient with this very green newbie actor. Really nice person. You never forget the people who show you grace when you’re still figuring it all out,” read the post.
The comments section was filled with fans excited to hear that Evans is as nice as they thought she would be in real life. “Good to know she’s as nice as you’d imagine her to be!” wrote a fan. Another one said, “I always thought she’d be a nice person irl❤️.”A different fan shared, “It’s great you got to see her again. Nice compliment too.” One fan expressed, “You had some great scenes with her in 2007.”
Other fan remarks included, “That’s a sweet story,” “I’ve never heard a bad thing about her. 💙,” and, “Love this ❤️.” There was even a fan who suggested that Jeremy needs to come back to Salem.
Donovan played Jeremy Horton, the son of Mike Horton and Robin Jacobs, on the Peacock soap back in 2007. Since then, he has appeared in several Hallmark and Great American Family movies.
Days of Our Lives legend Stephen Nichols had a sweet message for his co-stars after the Daytime Emmy Award nominations came out. Nichols didn’t earn a nod, but the hit Peacock soap and several of his fellow cast members did.
Taking to Instagram, Nicholas shared a photo of all his nominated co-stars and the other categories in which Days of Our Lives received a nod. The daytime drama earned 13 nominations in total, and Nichols had something to say about it.
“I’m so proud to see Days of our Lives honored with multiple Daytime Emmy nominations. To my castmates, our incredible crew, and everyone who pours their heart into this show— you’ve earned this! Grateful to walk this journey with you. 👏🎬 ❤️ #Days #DaytimeEmmys #Family,” read the caption on his social media share.
Nichols’ co-stars, Paul Telfer (Xander), Eric Martsolf (Brady), and Ashley Puzemis (Holly), who were all nominated for a Daytime Emmy, left emojis to respond to his post. Meanwhile, nominees Greg Rikaart (Leo) and Blake Berris (Everett/Bobby) had some words for Nichols.
“You’re the man @stephen_e_nichols,” wrote Berris, while Rikaart replied, “Thank you, Stephen! 💥💥.”
The Young and the Restless star and Days of Our Lives alum Eileen Davidson popped into the comments to share “congratulations!” to all the nominees. Davidson was nominated for her role as Ashley on the hit CBS soap.
Days of our Lives stars Cherie Jimenez (Gabi) and Martha Madison (Belle) left emojis on the social media post. Wally Kurth (Justin) also took time to share his excitement over the show’s multiple Daytime Emmy nominations.
“Yes!! All of you congratulations! So well deserved!! Enjoy the recognition 👏👏👏👏,” the actor expressed.
Fans chimed in to share their happiness and excitement for Days of Our Lives. “So awesome! Congrats to all! And so well deserved!🙌❤️” and “So excited to watch this year. So many from Days !”
A few comments wondered why Deidre Hall (Marlena), the late Drake Hogestyn (John), and Nichols were not nominated. Perhaps Hall and Nichols will get nods next year for John’s passing on the show.
Then again, fans were certain Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie) would get a Daytime Emmy nomination for Doug’s (Bill Hayes) death, but that did not happen. As Parade reported, fans slammed the Emmy voters for not including Hayes. The actress spoke out on the snub, proving once again she’s a class act.
