Days of Our Lives : Deimos and Adrienne / Beth and Lujack together again

Deimos and Adrienne / Beth and Lujack together again

When Deimos caught Adrienne outside of the living room door listening, did anyone else have a flashback to Lujack and Beth Raines on Guiding Light?

Was this their first scene together on Days since Deimos came to town? I thought it was Cute to see the actors interact again, even if it was only for a minute.

I thought about these two recently. They don't have a story together on Days, so I wondered if they were close off-camera. They've both been on a lot of soaps. They were great back on GL. It's nice to see them get a chance to interact on Days.

In an old interview with SOD, they mentioned Vincent Irizarry did not get along with Judi Evans when they were on GL, but didn't specify why. It might have been because Judi was in a romantic relationship with one of the directors at the time, and that along with her nomination for best actress so early in her career caused a lot of jealousy on the set, with cast members feeling her relationship was why she was featured so much on the show. Any one that watched GL at that time knows that was not the case, she earned her Emmy and carried an incredibly challenging storyline (her sexual abuse by nasty stepfather Bradley Raines). I've read good things about Judi from coworkers at Days and Another World, but GL is the one soap where co-stars have never said much about the actress, and it's interesting to note she was never asked to reprise her role as Beth. As for Evans and Irizarry now, they seem to get along just fine, which is why I suspect any animosity on the GL set was not due to anything personal, but for things beyond her control.

That's interesting. Maybe the backstage drama added to the romantic tension on screen. I found Beth more interesting with Lujack than with Phillip. That could have been a triangle for the ages if the actors hadn't been coming and going all the time and if Lujack hadn't been killed off. Vince later returned as Nick, who was Lujack's long-lost twin.

I think Beth Chamberlin eventually owned the role of Beth Raines Spaulding. But in the beginning she could not compare to the fantastic work Judi had done in the abuse storyline. There are plenty of GL episodes from 1989 to 1991 uploaded on YouTube, where you can see Chamberlin's in the process of gaining experience as an actress and is not too good. Later, when she came back in 1997, the storyline with Lizzie (Hayden Panettiere) having leukemia, Chamberlin was much better. Probably Judi Evans wasn't asked back because she was still under contract at Another World. Then when AW ended, Judi went back to Days and played Bonnie Lockhart.
