Mary Beth Evans to ATWT exec: "I made a mistake"


Recommended Posts

It makes no sense for her to say something like that, I mean she is back for 12 month now and was almost always on the frontburner. She is reunited with old friends and does not have to go to NY all the time.

And even if Days is canceled next year I believe she could return to ATWT on recurring.

I don't believe someone overheard anything. MBE is not that stupid.

And for the Days fan who get's two Days vets(Steve & Kayla) back and is against it (I don't remeber the name): How can you not? I guess you must be a new viewer if you prefer Willow. LMAO.

LOL!!

Mary Beth clears it up

http://marybethevans.com/FanForum/viewtopic.php?t=427

"I notified MB about the rumors that she was unhappy at Days because of an article that was written where her comments were taken out of context and totally given another meaning. This is what she told me:

Mary Beth said she was on an escalator (at the Emmy's) and Chris Goutman (whom she considers a friend) was below her and Stephen. She said she yelled that she shouldn't have left the show jokingly to him in a way of saying of saying congrats to him for his show doing so well. She had no idea anyone was listening and would take her words so seriously and out of context."

Aww, they must not know much about Mary Beth then. :);) Mary Beth has been in the soap business for over 20 years and has a solid reputation for being very professional and very positive (even through some crappy treatment - GH for example). It would be very out of character for her to say something like that. Plus, if you know some about Mary Beth and Stephen Nichols, they are extremely happy and satisfied to be working together again.

For once I agree with you....please note this is not the first nor second nor third time I've agree with other people.

Days fans were rejoicing to the heavens about how all these older characters were coming back in droves and how the rating would skyrocket or w/e. And yet they're not. And shes expressed her interest in coming back and now shes a bitch?

I think thats beyond hypocritical. Its NOT her fault that Days isn't doing as great as you want it to. And after NOT being used for awhile I can't blame her for wanting to come back to ATWT.

ATWT is an awesome show right now and its been awesome for the last couple of years. And I'm glad that she realizes that and if she wants to come back I'd welcome her back with open arms. The only problem is that I can't see a great story for her right now. Although she could go into business with Carly and Lily.

I specicifcally said that IF Mary Beth Evans said that. I never said that I believed she did or not. Most of the news in the soap world is gossip so I'm not going to buy that, there's no use getting upset over gossip. If we didn't get upset over gossip, what would we get upset about?

And as for the poster that's questioning my fan status as a fan of DAYS, and my prefernce of Willow, just correct you, I've been watching Days of our Lives since July 1996. That's 11 years, so don't come to me talking about new viewers and their opinons. THanks!

We could speculate about this forever.

If MBE did say that, I don't see why she's a bitch. I also don't get why some people think she would eevvvver say anything like that. First of all, you don't know MBE personally, and you don't know what goes on behind closed doors. A lot of [!@#$%^&*] goes on behind-the-scenes in entertainment, and fans are none the wiser (it's the magic of good PR and imaging). It's not out of the realm of possibility for her to complain about her job. Lord knows I do about mine. She didn't go off on a big bitchfest about Days, but she did voice dissatisfaction (allegedly). Big whoopin' deal. She's human - she has a right to feel regret and be honest about it in a private conversation with a close friend. Now, I think it would be unprofessional if she told a FAN that she thought coming back to Days was a mistake, but she said it in a private conversation to a friend and former colleague.

Furthermore, MBE's denial/explanation could be

a) completely accurate

B) complete spin & damage control

So case not closed.

We really don't know what she meant unless we're inside her head.

OK .... I actually came on here becuz Im hearing alot about great posting here about sweet Adrianne Leon's firing.....Then all of the sudden I see this!!! OK here goes....

I have met Mary Beth and Stephen more times then most people have posted here...Ive been supporting them for over 20 years....I just got back from seeing them for the upteenth time in LA......Wherever this came from and whoever wrote it is not being truthful or misquoted the words of Mary Beth Evans....

She is one of the most respected appreciated positive forces ever to cross daytimes threshold.....She lovesssssssss Hogan Sheffer and she LOVESSSS being with Stephen and Days again......Does she miss her peeps at ATWT heck yeah....She was given great stuff and made a bundle of connections there that may last a lifetime BUTTTTT her life and home is at Days till the end........

What youve posted here, I understand astonished you....after this post I can assure you its all false information.......

Please everyone, reconsider tarring and feathering a sweet awesome soul who would never jeopardized her job she has been waiting to return to for 16 years so that she could have a legion of fans hate her for talking crap about her own show........

NOTHING about this post or the things posted here that "she said" are true at all.

Nothing.

You wanna talk to me about how I know this is not true....you can PM at the Steveandkayla.com site and find me as the same screen name here.....

Love Kayla

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
