| Going Home Alone... |
| Judi on her first DAYS wedding & co-star Genie Francis |
Though exteriors were shot on remote in Greece, Justin & Adrienne's ceremony on Days of Our Lives took place at St. Sophia's, a Greek Orthodox church in Los Angeles. The weather was hot, and the bride had a bit of a temperature control problem. "They had to give me little hand fans to put under the skirt because I was sweating buckets." Evans laughs. "[Otherwise], it was really neat because everyone kept saying, 'You're the bride. You're the bride...Out of the [makeup] chair, we have to do the bride.' I felt special that day." But being special had its drawbacks. "You'd better perform, or else," Evans says, but there was also a danger of getting too caught up. "Genie Francis [ex-Diana, DAYS; Laura, GH] came up to me when it was all over and said, "I just want you to know I love you and you're special. On my wedding day on General Hospital, everyone just went home and I felt lonely and really depressed and I don't want you to feel depressed.' That caught me by surprise, but she was right. At the end, everyone just went 'OK, that's a wrap.' You're left standing there with a bouquet in your hand thinking, 'I get to drive home alone.' It's like you were jilted at the altar. What Genie did was really special. I've never forgotten it."# |
