Mary Beth’s Comment on Frances Reid

Mary Beth comments on the passing of longtime monarch of Days Of Our Lives, Frances Reid, to Soap Opera Digest

“She was a sassy gal and we ALL loved her,” Mary Beth Evans (ex-Kayla) tells Digest. “She was a riot and so sharp. She might not have seen you in a while — a year maybe — and she would remember details of your life and ask about them. She was funny, sassy and self deprecating; she made us all laugh. She was such a great example for all of us. Frances loved the DAYS OF OUR LIVES family and was always a professional. I know anyone that was lucky enough to know her, is sad today. She will live on in our memories for sure.”

I’ll never forget when Alice and Kayla got arrested for trespassing. Francis Reid was so funny and so authentic in that storyline. Sassy is right, and I have no doubt that the folks at ‘Days’ will never see the caliber of such an outstanding actress again. She was such a vital part of ‘Days’ success, and she will always be missed.

Aw, SN and MB had so many good scenes with Frances Reid. The Jencon story was kinda cheesy but I did love it when Tom and Steve came to bail Alice and Kayla out of jail. Talk about a foursome! LOL

Alice Horton always seemed to be very involved with the younger set. One of my first memories of the character actually involved Bo and Hope. Mrs. H set up a meeting with the two of them in the infamous tunnel! She always knew true love and was more than happy to help out the couple. Later in the show when Steve and Kayla were popular, she was involved in their storyline. I’m going to miss the actress and the character. She was definately one of a kind.
