FROM HOSPITAL HERO TO HIGH-STAKES MYSTERY: KAYLA BRADY TAKES ON PRIME TIME!
For decades, fans have adored Mary Beth Evans as the compassionate nurse Kayla Brady, a cornerstone of Days of Our Lives.

The series promises intense action, following an LAPD officer investigating a suspicious murder that leads to a vast criminal conspiracy.
