drama Days of Our Lives. She had been portrayed by Denise Wanner for
one month (November to December 1986) before Judi Evans took over the
role from December 1986 to February 1991, from May 2007 to January
2008, and again from March 2010 to January 2020.The role was initially
played by Denise Wanner, as a mysterious character whose face wasn't
seen onscreen until Judi Evans joined DAYS in 1986 after a widely
popular run on the CBS soap opera Guiding Light, where she played Beth
Raines from 1983â€"1986. Her run on the NBC soap opera centered on her
battles with childhood abuse and her relationship with Justin
Kiriakis, played by Wally Kurth. After she left the show in 1991, she
joined Another World that year as Paulina Cory Carlino until the show
ended in 1999. After a short break from daytime, she returned to DAYS
