SOD: Mary Beth Evans Returns!

Please link to Daytime Royalty. Thank you.

Mary Beth Evans will be back in Salem on December 14th, just in time for the holiday season. "Kayla comes back to help her mother at the pub," previews the actress. "The other day, Shawn Christian [Daniel], Patrick Muldoon [Austin] and Matthew Ashford [Jack] came in and poured their troubles out to Kayla. It felt like Cheers, where everybody stops by."

So far, Evans hasn't shared camera time with TV mom Peggy McCay. "Peggy is amazing," enthuses Evans. "I'm hoping that we'll be working together more now, too." The return is open-ended, with tape dates set for October and November. "I'm open to whatever," she smiles. "In the old days, if you weren't under contract, you would never go back. But times are different."

The daytime vet enjoys the advantages of not being tied to a contract. "I recently appeared on Dana Delany's series, 'Body of Proof.' I did a spot on the web series 'Pretty,' and I'm in a play, 'Murder at the Howard Johnson's,' that's running through October. We spent eight weeks rehearsing and I'm having the best time. I like to do a lot of different things. Coming back to Days is like the cherry on the ice cream."

This time around, however, Evans is working sans her TV daughter, Shelley Hennig. "That part is a drag," she admits. "But her face is on every billboard in L.A., so I feel like she's with me. I'm so excited for her. When Shelley was on Days, I used to tell her that she was a prime candidate for a CW show."

Evans is enthusiastic about the changes that have taken place at Days since the relaunch in September. "It's an exciting time to be there," she notes. "Over the course of the 25 years since I started at Days, there have been so many changes, but this one feels positive. They're trying to make the show more fun, with an emphasis on family. People want to see romance and love. I hope that if people tuned out, they tune back in."
