from daytime royalty daytimeroyaltyonline.com/topic/8588908/1/SID: Paging Dr. Kayla!; October 24th Issue You already know that Mary Beth Evans is bringing Kayla back to Days of Our Lives. Now, the actress gives details on her return! This won't just be a quick visit to exchange gifts with her brothers and pop by the annual Horton tree-trimming party. "I'm back!" Evans enthuses. "My return is open-ended. It's not like before where it was sort of a shorter arc." So how long will she be around Salem? "I don't think it has an arc!" she confesses, adding that she's excited to be joining the list of recent returnees such as Matthew Ashford, who plays Kayla's husband-turned-rapist-turned-brother-in-law. And for those of you worried that Kayla won't have much to do -- she did spend her last few returns counseling daughter Stephanie and not much else -- Evans promises that her alter ego will be in the thick of it. "I'm really excited about working in the pub," she actress declares, "and getting to talk to all the people who come in." Well, considering Salem only has two restaurants (and most of the homes don't have kitchens), it looks like she'll be running into everybody!

With Lexie reducing her hours at the hospital, Carly gone, and Kayla not working as a doctor...the town is left with Superdoc Jonas. Lovely.

Oh no....open ended and no mention of Steve...this does NOT bode well....(nevermind the fact that I can't stand Kayla)

Ok, so she is a doctor and she will be working in the pub? ?? Good point! And Delina, I was thinking the same thing. Oh please no walkabouts for Steve. I always liked Kayla, but Kayla without Steve is like Hope without Bo. It does not compute. Thanks for the info, Karebr. I had no idea Kayla was returning for a longer stint.

I wonder why she's working at the pub and there's no mention of the hospital. Kayla without Steve is not a good thing IMO. It could mean trouble.

I hate to say it, but I'm wondering if they should recast Steve? I just don't think I could buy Kayla being in town for a long period of time without him. I can't imagine anyone but Stephen Nichols in the role but I also can't imagine Kayla having much of a story if she's just helping out Caroline at the Pub. SN is currently at Y&R and is embroiled in pretty heavy story of just finding a long lost son so I'm sure he's not going anywhere anytime soon.
Isn't Kayla supposed to be bringing Joe with her too?

Why is Kayla at the pub? That really just doesn't make any sense.

I can only assume that Caroline needs some help running the Pub since she is getting older and probably babysitting a lot now that Sami is working! ;-) Yes, Kayla is a doctor, but with the Brady's family always seems to come first and since Sami is now employed, there is no one available (i.e. unemployed) in town to help...in comes Kayla to save the day.

I kinda hope they're waiting for Y&R to get sick of Stephen Nichols (since his character is as badly written as every other character on there, and they get sick of their stunt casting tricks pretty quickly) so they can steal him back.

I don't want to see Steve re-cast. Patch = Stephen Nichols. Period. I'm ok with Kayla coming to town without him (for a while) as long as it's not because they are estranged. Maybe Caroline has a health scare (she HAS to be 107 if she's a day) and Kayla comes home to help her. That would explain why she's at the pub and why Steve doesn't come too.

Luckily, I've never watched anything with patch and Kayla. I've only gotten familiar with kayla. so a patch recast wouldn't bother me.
I've heard in other spoilers that Joey is coming back with her...
Have we even seen Caroline since the reset? I know she's been mentioned. I'm 3 episodes behind so I don't know if weve seen her. Maybe something happens with Caroline and Kayla comes back to give a hand at the pub? Another stroke?

No we haven't seen her, at least not that I can remember.

I agree, Steve and Kayla *are* the ultimate supercouple. I would love to see what the new writers could do for Patch/Kayla!

Caroline hasn't been seen. They could at least show Carrie and Austin visit her. Or Caroline could visit Marlena and John.
