DAYS Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans Talk Patch & Kayla's Wedding Day, And The Return of Shelley Hennig!

69
I just wish they would update Patch’s Fonzie meets The Pirate’s of The Caribbean look…it makes Stayla more like Staleya…wearing that all the time is like wearing the same underwear more than once a week-ew…ok, i had worn mine all week once but i was very ill at the time-lol but that is not the point..anyway, i find combining names almost childish and outdated…i like Patch&Kayla…sounds more romantic like Scarlett and Rhett…does ScarRhett sound romantic-NO!…sounds like a fever one gets from traveling abroad!!!-lol.
I do not see anybody today wear a patch unless its medical related but they dont wear it forever.-he did go without it before..we can still call him patch…just put a patch on his jeans if someone doesn’t get the nick name!!!
I would like to see “Patch” without the patch mysrlf, Jimmy. But, I don’t know how the ‘transformation’
Would be received, after all is ssid that done.
Anyway, I truly enjoyed today’s episode. ….almost perfect!!
Steve is one hottie! Don’t change the best of the best!
Agree and I love both actors and “Patch” and “Kayla.” Always have. And I have read/heard a lot of interviews they have given. I’ve come away each time feeling their genuine care for each other, for the characters, for the fans. Just beautiful to know that. Patch and Kayla forever. PS I also read Mary Beth’s blog PLANK.
I am so jealous that Days allows their Classic SuperCouples to be featured in front and center stories and cares enough to marry them. I am jealous right now of Y&R and the new opening as well which is incredibly well shot and includes their classic theme song. I guess that all goes with being a Classic GH fan and I’ve developed good coping skills. Paltry scraps for us on current day GH; things haven’t been good for decades.
What would be good to you? Not being sarcastic just wondering how you would paint the canvas on a daytime drama especially the one you’re passionate about.
The problem with GH is that they are serving too many divided audiences and haven’t found a solution that will appease most of the fans. The top 4-5 characters with airtime are still the actors that were heavily featured during 2000-2011 which is when many 80s and 90s fans dropped out of the show due to the narrow focus and dark vision for the show. They also have brought in many new characters and haven’t developed them the past few years plus the weight of trying to redeem the Franco character who was never meant to be redeemed. It’s pretty… Read more »
GH is in trouble, horrible mob storylines. Time to cancel Gh, and bring back OLTL on ABC.
GH has overdone the Mob for years! Have not liked it since they decided a mob Hit man could moralize to the entire GH community and only those who dislike the mobsters are ever truly punished!!!
Yes, GH lost its soul a long time ago
This site really has become a waste land of total hate…more people again saying cancel GH in a non GH topic…how disrespectful to the real fans to have to read that garbage.
Please….GH has been telling more hospital stories than mob stories during Jelly’s first 16 months…but carry on with the repetitive misinformed rants…even though the mob has been toned down a ton under FV…it’s still a part of the show but it’s not eating the show like during the JFP days….ten years ago there were ten mobsters on contract….now there a only two with Sonny and Julian…both Jason and Ava left the business.
GH is not in trouble…look at the recent ratings…worry about DAYS.
Sam I agree with you, pull the plug ABC. Cancel GH. Bring Back One Life To Live. General hospital is very painful too watch, right now. Pull the plug and end GH.
I loved OLTL and would love to see it back…but not at the expense of GH. It’s been holding my attention and I have no desire for them to “pull the plug.”
I’m so happy Patch and Kayla are still together and just as much as in love as they were when they first met. I love to watch old videos on YT and realize their love story has endured. I LOVE that. All the credit to their beautiful love story…the best I’ve ever seen on tv to Mary Beth and Stephen. The writing in the 80’s was the best and I agree with both actors that their reunion this time with the ups and downs was handled very well. Look forward to many more years of Steve and Kayla btw, the… Read more »
Yes, and Stephen Nichols has said as much–he thinks Patch is just not Patch without the patch–lol!
Hey!
that’s Y&R Tucker!
I want Tucker back!
You can thank JFP for that one. She had to bring on her pets and eliminated talent. In so doing I think she did a huge disservice to the Chancellor family and what could have been
Love love LOVE this couple! Now if we can just get John and Marlena married beautifully and Jack back for Jennifer? All of us long-time fans will be happy to wander through whatever they do with the youngsters. Just so we can see our favorites. Oh, and Justin and Adrienne need to be together, as well. As you can see, I am a HEA girl. 🙂
Geez, ENOUGH already – aren’t they getting a little tired of having the same couple march down the aisle well into their 50’s or however old they are supposed to be? Not that I have anything against older couples, I don’t of course but how many more Brides in the 50+ category on this show are going to be blushing in White gowns? After a while, it’s a little tiresome – plus, although this is off-topic, I thought the way they explained “Stefano” being in the Jail cell even though it was another character wearing a rubber glued-on mask and… Read more »
You are so funny, John. Don’t you know that you can get in deep caca when you talk about older characters doing the ‘young’ thing in what is considered a negative subject?! Hey, I agree with you. I was ‘attacked’ on more than one occasion when I stated that same fact, in a different way and/or situation. I think that the symbolism of wearing white, on one’s wedding day, has lost its meaning through the decades. I doubt there are any virgins around anymore! LOL. But, be that as it may, a white, lacy, frilly, a definite look of what… Read more »
Don’t think I mentioned the word “frilly” or “lacy”–nor did I say ANYONE was not entitled to her opinion. Gee, you seem really thin skinned–and really angry at me for some reason I can’t fathom. I was not in any way directing my comments to you–and I haven’t responded to any of your posts: my 95–year-old mother is in rehab and I am going each day at 8:00 to see/help her. This is one of my first times to comment on this blog in a very long time–and it was a nice respite to the tension and uncertainty of the… Read more »
Read my lips: the word I used was “white”: do you have ANYTHING against the color white??
As many as get married and who feel like wearing it. To be literal… anyone can wear anything, anytime. And, in this day and age…are there really any virgins getting married at ANY age??? (The old symbolism for the white wedding dress has long passed its day.) As for WHY they portray couples in mid age getting married…maybe because there is a huge amount of people who don’t marry until later in their lives or perhaps are divorced or widowed. If, however, you’re referring to just one couple…this “same couple” as you say…then it’s just the formula of the soap… Read more »
Bravo and thanks. “Anyone can wear anything, anytime”: you say it so very well–simply and eloquently.
And, yes, I agree with your other statement as to why portray couples in mid-age getting married: “Maybe because there. . .are. . .people who don’t marry until later in their lives or perhaps are divorced or widowed.” I
Again, you say it so very well.
And I love your romantic last statement: “If two people can still make each other blush . . . that the icing on the (wedding) cake.” A lovely sentiment. PS And doesn’t an elegant creamy white simple suit (or dress) just ooze elegance? Sounds like something I might choose–or even an elegant pants ensemble? I’ve never taken the leap–never been married, but a girl can still dream (and fantasize) can’t she? LOL! PS 2 You made my day–thanks for the uplift. After coming out of the “ice” of dealing with my 95-year-old Mother’s extended 2-week hospital stay after contacting “institutional… Read more »
rebecca1, your reply to my post was so very sweet. I do find the soaps a welcome “escape,” and it’s so very nice to read your sentiments re my time with Mother–brought tears to my eyes. Thanks again–means a lot.
Some people/characters never get tiresome–because they are so genuine. And one can wear what she wants for her wedding; the color white can be worn by someone 70+ (my age!) if she so desires. (Hey, what a good idea I had–lol)
That’ s your opinion, Nancy. More power to you….but, it would not sit well with me. Different women, different personalities. What’s the adage? ” different strokes for different folks”. Perhaps it’s becsuse there is a 40-year difference between us. I have a different mindframe. I find it obnixious for an elderly bride to wear a frilly, lacy wedding dress, regardless of color. It does not make me right, but it is how I feel, by the same token, I respect how you feel, but it does not make you right, either. That is why our thoughts are called opinions. It… Read more »
And, I am not talking about Kayla….she is neither elderly, nor was she wearing ridiculous frills.
Nancy…you’re very welcome and if you’ve read many of my posts for a few years I’m a big women’s advocate and am beyond sick and tired of the juvenile, judgemental posts on how a woman should dress at “her” age.
Please take care of yourself during this stressful time with your mom. It’s not easy…and quite emotional…frightening. If you can use the soaps to “escape”…try. Reality is too often very difficult.
Is the actress who plays Grandma Brady no longer on the show?
Peggy McCay (Caroline Brady) asked for time off a while back to work on her autobiography, jkenney, but has recently been battling health problems.
Peggy McKay works as her health permits. Unfortunately, lately, that has been less and less.
Thanks for the info. I had wondered about her. Maybe they should recast.
ok=
this guy ”Patch ”
Why doesn’t he get his eye fixed?
He could get an artificial eye…
I know someone with one and really, if he hadn’t told me I’d of never thought he had an artificial eye..
So–
I have to label his eye patch as Super Lame !!
Steve did have a glass eye, su0000. When the character was first introduced in the mid 80’s he was known as Patch because he was a thug who wore an eye patch, but as other characters got to know him, especially Kayla (Sweetness), he was referred to as Steve and/or Steven…The same could be said of most viewers. DAYS fans knew there was more to him than met the eye. Around 1990 (DAYS’ 25th anniversary) Patch, Steve to most characters and viewers by then, had surgery to remove his scar and received a glass eye to go undercover in an… Read more »
Thank you, 4ever. There’s nothing more unnerving than someone posting on a soap of which he/she does not watch, nor knowing the characters’ history.
I can always depend on you for the right info, my friend.
BTW, 4ever, and out of context….I had mentioned a while back that I suspected Andre was really Tony.
I am beginning to hold fast to that and believe my own suspicions. Is there a minute chance Andre is Tony?
You say it so very well!
They had storylines where he didn’t wear a patch and it didn’t go over so well. The patch is part of his appeal apparently.
Not every character has to be a total soap stereotype. too many soap men are exactly alike minus the name! A guy with sex appeal, personality and a little bit that is all his own is a gem!
Su, you must understand that Patch/Steve would not be the character he represents without his patch. It is what makes him. Can you think of Victor Newman without his mustache? LOL.
I take it you’re not too familiar with this character? LOL.
Now, su0000, you just HAVE to keep up. Been there; done that–tried Patch without the patch. Stephen Nichols said it just wasn’t Patch without the patch (see my earlier post.) Come on, girl, get with the program–and I mean that literally–lol!
Have not watched in over a decade but these two are magical the live and respect they have on and off camera is awesome. Congratulations to them both super human beings!!!
Love
So happy to see Steve and Kayla finally remarry… it’s been 27 years and they’ve been through so much since their last wedding (presumed death, divorce, baby, baby murdering Steve’s ex, lol). Can’t wait to see Shelley, too.
I thought they were supposed to get married on Valentine’s Day, which was yesterday. Is Salem using a different calendar than the rest of us?
They were preempted–now for 2 days (yesterday by that unhinged person’s “news conference”–maybe we’ll get lucky and see the wedding Fri.? Nonnamed person has “flown” to Fla!
Days was pre-empted again today???!!! You have got to be kidding me.
Oh, how did I miss the wedding–something else on today (Fri.)–was it that short???? Oh, my dears, must I go to youtube to see what I have been waiting for for oh-so-long? Horrors upon horrors! CAN’T believe I missed it.
Unhinged, someone??
The actual wedding took place during thursDAYS episode. You can watch the entire episode at nbc.com
It’s nice for Shelley/Stephanie to be back. She has grown up. I saw a picture of her and didn’t recognize her.
Its just a shame that the writers made Steve & Kayla extras on their wedding so they could once again hand the program over to propping Rafe and Hope! Not a smart move on either the part of the writers Higley AND QUAN nor the producers yes you Mr Meng.
Why has a DAYS thread turned into a GH thread, including a huuuuuge comment regarding GH?
PEOPLE ARE RAINING ON DAYS’ PARADE!
My original comment was a positive one about Days and their marrying Steve & Kayla but I was asked a question about GH, something that required a long explanation so that’s why I added that huuuge comment. No other reason. I thought it would be impolite to not answer at all and I don’t do questions like that halfway. No rain for Days, just positivity.
I should have said people are stealing DAYS’ thunder.
no need to apologize JMER. no one runs this site other than Michael Fairman. if he approves your comment dont’ worry about another poster’s criticism.
YEAH!!!!! Say it again, 4ever!!
I have wished for the day that Anna would come back and discover Andre is really Tony, Celia. I think it’s possible, but maybe that won’t happen until Ron’s writing materializes.
Thanks for that 4ever. Now, I don’t feel so alone in my thinking. I mean, why would they bring Anna back? It makes sense. To be honest with you, I’d love it if Andre turned out to be Tony.
They are GH stalkers, 4ever. LOL…..some of which I have not seen on the DOOL sites. How strange!!
I will echo what most have said. It’s about time Kayla and Steve were married again…..this poor woman has been through so much. I hope this time, the PTB leave this couple alone by not giving Patch flight for the umpteenth time.
Celia. Contrary to your belief…soap viewers are actually “allowed” to post on ALL soaps whether they meet with your “required” viewing habits or not.
Thanks so much for the info on watching wedding of Patch and Kayla.
I’m sorry…but I DO NOT want to watch Patch and Kayla walk down the ole soap opera aisle all over again. N-o. And…this makes me wonder what’s next after that…Rafe and Hope (also) getting hitched?!?!? BEYOND Y-U-C-K!!!!!!!!!! ULTIMATE NO, NO AND MORE NO!!!!!!!!!!
Later.
Say it again, Jay. But, some make it quite difficult to express an opinion. Soap or not, I find it absolutely out of kilter for an older bride to go overboard on a wedding gown fit for a young bride. My opinion!!!!
I equate it to an eighty-year old wearing a mini skirt, especially without pantyhose and six-inch heels. I have seen it.
Oh, yeah…Hope acting the teen, blushing ingenue with Rafe. I have always balkd at this coupling, albeit, I am starting to accept its pairing. But, as you say; no walking down the aisle with bells and whistles.
Give it up CeeCee. jabybird didn’t mention age…you did. Again. You’re way too haughty. Come down from that undeserved ledge.
