If you were a fan of Days of Our Lives in the 80s, then you know that Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) were the supercouple to end all supercouples. Their chemistry was undeniable, their love story timeless, and even now, 38 years later, Stayla remains one of the most iconic duos in daytime soap history. Recently, Stephen Nichols, the actor behind the unforgettable Patch, took fans on a trip down memory lane by sharing the first-ever love scene between Steve and Kayla.

It’s hard to overstate just how huge this moment was for fans. Back in 1985, when Steve Johnson first let down his guard and gave Kayla Brady his heart—and then some—it was a turning point not just for the characters, but for the show as a whole. This scene was the epitome of everything that made Days of Our Lives in the 80s so unforgettable: intense passion, deep emotion, and a love that had fans hooked.

Nichols wasn’t just reminiscing about the scene itself. He opened up about what it was like filming those scenes with Mary Beth Evans, describing it as “wild, tender, unforgettable.” He recalled that love scenes in that era were filmed differently than they are now—longer, more sensual, and with the freedom to truly explore the emotions between characters. “They really let love scenes play out back in the day, and Shelly Curtis shot beautiful montages,” he explained. It was a time when daytime soaps took their love stories seriously, creating deeply emotional and unforgettable moments for viewers.

Mary Beth Evans herself chimed in on the post, commenting with a simple but heartfelt “Holy smokes!!!❤️.” Her reaction says it all—the impact of that moment is still felt by the actors themselves, and of course, by the fans who witnessed the magic of Steve and Kayla’s first love scene.

Fans flooded the comment section with their own nostalgic memories. “I wore out my VCR tape watching that scene over and over again! 😍😍😍,” one fan wrote, showing just how deeply this scene had etched itself into the hearts of viewers. Another fan added, “Nothing will ever compare to 80’s Days!! Absolutely iconic!!! 💜.” For many fans, the magic of the 80s Days era, with its larger-than-life romances and unforgettable characters, is what made the show legendary.

Even after all these years, Stayla remains the ultimate soap couple for so many DOOL fans. One fan declared, “Oh man, do I remember this! After all that waiting, the ‘payoff’ was fabulous.” There was so much build-up to this love scene that when it finally happened, it was a moment fans still talk about today.

“38 years?!!! Holy cow, I remember it like it was yesterday! Dang, time flies 😂,” another fan commented. For those who followed Days of Our Lives back then, it’s hard to believe so much time has passed, but the love between Patch and Kayla remains just as strong as ever in the hearts of fans.
