Days Of Our Lives Star Judi Evans Celebrates A Major Soap Opera Milestone
Judi Evans knows her way around the soap opera business. Although the actress is best known for playing the roles of Adrienne Kiriakis and Bonnie Lockhart on "Days of Our Lives," Evans has also held many other roles on multiple soap operas, per Soaps.
In 1983, she played the role of Beth on the classic soap "Guiding Light" before heading over to "Days of Our Lives" (via Soap Central). During a break from the NBC soap opera, Evans also had a stint as a character named Maeve on "As the World Turns."
However, the actress seems to have some very fond memories of her time as Paulina Cory on "Another World." Evans admitted that portraying Paulina was some of the most fun she's ever had at work. "It was a roller coaster," she told Soap Opera Digest.
The actress also remembered having a ball playing out her on-screen rivalry with Jensen Buchanan (ex-Vicky) on the show. "We had so much fun fighting over Grant and Jake. There was also a Valentine's Day ball where Paulina and Vicky dressed the same," she said. "They ended up fighting and falling into a pool of water. It was a real 'Dynasty' day!"
This week, Evans honored her former "Another World" character by celebrating a big milestone.
