Ms. Judi Evans !!! We need to see this to see how you are faring. this is much sooner, than even I thought.

so much love your way Judi.

I like Judi Evans a lot, but my favorite role she played will always be Adrienne on DAYS. Don’t get me wrong at the time I liked her as Beth. That said I loved Beth Chamberlain. When I think of Beth I think of Beth Chamberlain because she made the role her own and that’s who I prefer as Beth. It’s a shame that Vincent Irizzary didn’t get the chance to work with her as Nick. Coincidentally I also prefer Nick to Lujack!

I have been touting… for year (s)… I am so in love with Beth Chamberlain…. Y&R NEEDS TO HIRE Beth, for Jack Abbott. period… love interest. my heart be still, no more.

That would be a great combination!!!!

I’ve said that multiple times, though I’m guessing she doesn’t want to relocate to LA. Maybe they can figure out a way to have her fly out to LA and film her scenes, and then return to the East Coast, though COVID makes that much travel a bit challenging. I would LOVE for Beth and Peter be together!!! (I love both Beths, BTW – Judi in NYC with Phillip was fantastic but Beth C definitely matured the role of Beth Raines)

Nope. Judi Evans WAS Beth. It wasn’t the same after she left.

I really loved how their love story was built slowly and believably, from a friendship which drew on their strengths, helping and encouraging each other. Whenever I hear “Almost Paradise,” I think of Lujack and Beth on the beach! ♥️

Oh my I do too! That is the first thing that pops into my head when I hear that song even after all these years.

I miss the good old guiding light days so much that was just so much fun to watch every afternoon.

I so look forward to this. Judi Evans was my favorite Beth always and loved VI as Lujack and Nick.

Ill be watching!! Wouldn’t it be cool instead of endless reruns of Price is Right and Lets make a deal; CBS would play classic episodes of ATWT and GL????? It doesnt look like production of the game shows will resume anytime soon. Beth and Lujack… OMG. I can hear “Almost Paradise” playing in me head now. The good old days!! 🙁

WOW ‘ do FANS, commit

one it was pure joy watching Ms. Evans… lovefest, for her leading mens… it’s apparent how much she and Vincent care for each other… NOTE: they both started and STARRED that quickly on Guiding Light… Judi Evans emmied her second year… no doubt… thanks in part to Vincent Irizarry.

second I fell in love with Vincent Irizarry… I FELL IN LOVE you get stymied by good looks, no? his knowledge intellect and SHARE just loops you. I only know… VI work @All My Children… and of course @ DAYS… where he was emmy nominated for his work @DAYS

the history we ALL GET TO SHARE… yeah, to still delight… platform ; form opinion, AIRED

these two stars who both succeeded Guiding Light… across the board appeal on 3-5 plus shows…. that’s STAR

never tire on hearing behind the scenes .. and their recall of co-workers’
who can imagine living in new york… going to brooklyn … what a world unto

Nia has delivered iconic performances throughout her career. I’ve been a fan for a long time because her characters stay with you. I’m excited to now work alongside her as she pours all of that into Katherine Jackson: a woman who was the glue, the rock, and the heart of the Jackson family during its best and its most turbulent times.”
