Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Judi Evans Shares Her Best Soap Career Memories

Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, when asked who gave her the warmest welcome on the set of Guiding Light, Judi said, “Tina Sloan [ex-Lillian]. Unbeknownst to me, she had told the producers, ‘Have her move in with me. She’s moving from California, all alone in New York City.’ When I heard that, I thought, ‘Oh, my God. This woman is amazing.’” Now, as far as who gave her the warmed welcome on Days of Our Lives, Judi added, “Mary Beth Evans [Kayla]. She was the first person I worked with. Just that smile. She’s the consummate sister/mom.”

Judi also had an interesting answer for who has been her most influential mentor in the daytime television world. “Wally [Kurth, Justin, DAYS; Ned, GH], because I’ve known him through so many parts of my life. He has been such a great friend. A lot of times in different situations I’d think, ‘What would Wally do?’ He has probably been the most influential male co-star. Female co-star would probably be Beverlee McKinsey [ex-Alexandra, GL]. She kind of took me under her wing. I spent a lot of time in her dressing room and remember looking up to her and learning a lot about acting and life. She was an amazing woman,” she said.
