The summer of 2025 has been a busy one on Days of Our Lives. Sophia gave birth and secretly told everyone she gave the child up for adoption, while in reality leaving it at the fire station’s safe drop off. Johnny’s been on trial for shooting EJ, putting everyone on edge. And there have been hints that Stefano may once again rise from the ashes. While all that has been going on, Mary Beth Evans and Stephen Nichols shared the real-world summer fun they’ve had with the fans.
They Marveled at Life’s Full Circle
Evans (Kayla) and Nichols (Steve) shared a fun video on Instagram with the caption, “As summer comes to a close, we took a moment to sit down together, swap stories, and relive the highlights – from family time to fun with friends. Here’s a little peek at the moments that made our summer shine.” In the video, Evans worried that her dress would clash with the tapestry hanging behind them.
They then went on to discuss their summer, with Evans starting by remarking, “We were just talking about how we’ve had such a great time with all of our grandkids. We’re so lucky.” She noted that when they first started working together, they had both been married within a year of each other. Both marveled that they are now nearing 40 years of marriage with kids and grandkids added into the mix along the way. (Check out how the show honored Nichols’ 40 years as Steve.)

A Fun Time Was Had by All
Nichols then asked, “So what’d you do this summer? We went to Universal Studios.” Evans stated that she did as well, and Nichols elaborated, “They did it last year and they wanted to do it again.” He said that his kids and in-laws also went to Medieval Times, a dinner theater chain that recreates a medieval-style tournament and feast. Both actors admitted that neither had been there yet.
She then recalled, “I did the Universal Studios thing with everybody, and then my son and daughter took their four kids to Disneyland earlier this week.” However, she sadly added, “And as much as I wanted to be there and be a super grandma, I had to bow out. I just couldn’t take it. Too hot, too much, too everything.” The two then promised to share pictures from their fun summer with their fans.
