Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans preview Steve and Kayla’s valentine’s day wedding on days and reflect on their historic love story.
Soap Opera Digest: When you started playing Kayla and Steve’s love story 30 years ago, could you have imagined that the romance would still be going strong today?
Stephen Nichols: It’s like a marriage. You hope for the best. If you make it five years, that’s good. Then when you hit 10 years you know you’re in pretty good shape and that you are most likely going to be in it for the long haul. Truthfully, the first time on DAYS, I never thought that far ahead and after the first five years, I called it quits. Returning now twice, to last this long as a couple in daytime television is a blessing. It’s surprising because, first of all, no actor just starting out would ever expect to be employed for 30 years. I’ve been off-and-on, but it’s pretty amazing that each time we return there is renewed fan support, as if we had never been apart. But I’m not surprised, because Mary Beth is the best partner a man could ask for.
Mary Beth Evans: Right [laughs].
Nichols: What’s your answer, kiddo?
