Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans play Steve and Kayla Brady on Days
of our Lives.
When Mary Beth Evans first appeared on NBC soap opera Days of our Lives in May 1986, it didn't take long for fans to fall in love with the onscreen relationship between her Nurse Kayla Brady and bad boy Steve "Patch" Johnson, played by Stephen Nichols. The actors shared a natural chemistry in their scenes together, which helped Steve and Kayla go on to become one of the most popular couples in the show's storied history.
The 1988 wedding of Steven Earl Johnson and Kayla Caroline Brady helped Days reach the top spot in the Nielsen ratings for the first time in more than a decade, with fans glued to their TV sets as Kayla regained her ability to speak during the ceremony. That marriage turned out to be invalid (though not in the minds of many fans), and the couple made it official once again in 1990. Sadly, Steve was presumed dead shortly after the next wedding, and the couple remained apart for 16 years until he turned up alive in 2006. The couple divorced in 2012, and Kayla focused on her job as Chief of Staff at Salem University Hospital. When Steve returned to Salem in 2015, he was determined to win his "Sweetness" back, and has been a man on a mission ever since.
On February 15, Steve and Kayla recommit to each other in a Valentine's Day wedding ceremony in front of family and friends. We Love Soaps spoke with Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans this week about the wedding, the history of their characters, and more. Read our interview below.
WE LOVE SOAPS:You may be making TV history with this week’s wedding. And it would only happen on a soap, where viewers see a couple get married, and then watch the same couple get married again 29 years later. STEPHEN NICHOLS: That's amazing. MARY BETH EVANS: Stephen and I have both been married for 31/32 years, and then this couple comes back around nearly 30 years later. It's pretty remarkable really.
WE LOVE SOAPS: And you guys look the same! MARY BETH EVANS: Yeah, right! STEPHEN NICHOLS: I've been look at photos from the '80s, and I beg to differ. [Laughs]
