good to see you dave's fans and thank you for all your support throughout the years and we're here
to talk about all the great memories we've made on days of our lives right yes we are
can't wait me too all right so i have a question for you judy um when you first joined the show
in 1987 a long time ago who was the first friend you made in the cast oh my goodness
um actually the first time i was on the show was in 1981 oh i played uh trista's friend becky u5
so uh yeah you five yeah becky new five under five that's under five but you know i didn't
have any friends then five lines um really i think mary beth was the first friend i made uh
when i first started i was working a lot with stephen and mary beth
and mary beth and i hit it off right who doesn't hit it off with mary bath so it was definitely
mary beth you were hired as justin in 1987. so what stands out in your audition process
i'm trying to think well i do know that i had to go back twice they weren't sure really
i had that star quality oh i can't believe that no i think i was a little heavy because i was told
after the first audition to go lose five pounds and go to a hair salon where shelby curtis made me
cut a hair that looked just like jack wagner and i had to have the the jack wagner look and uh i
was pretty cocky because i remember thinking well i guess if i'm too fat for daytime i guess i'll
just have after night time oh my gosh she loved that she thought that was pretty pretty good um so
great i can't believe that well no i was a little heavy and i did i i jogged all weekend
long and ate nothing but fruit um so i think i lost a couple pounds sorry so when i went back
the second time there was just one other guy that i auditioned with um the first time around there
was like four or five of them that's why it really worked did you sing at all oh no
they didn't know you could sitting until later yeah wow for the both of us here's the question
what do we see as the key to the success of our long-standing acting partnership oh
our friendship yeah definitely our friendship it brings such trust to each other yeah i mean
where we go we follow where you go i follow yes where i go no kidding it's a dance and we have to
trust each other that we don't step on each other's feet and sometimes we do and that's
good and we tolerate it so you tolerate like a good friend you tolerate things that you know
they sometimes not work out but also let me just say this you are a very talented actor so it's a
pleasure to work with you and i you make me want to be better and you inspire me to do good work
i feel the same way about you your heart is so big and you show it in in all of your work
and it's hard to wrap your heart the hands are at it because it's just you're so big-hearted
and talented too thank you love you we love each other we do that's that's the secret of ourselves
we really like each other and we like each other and love each other it's been a long time
can you share the story of how you may accidentally really have gotten married
in real life while shooting justin and adrian's 1987 wedding you tell the story because you know
the actor slash uh greek orthodox minister priest who married us well and i found that out years ago
because uh we were justin and adrian were married in the greek orthodox church saint sophia's church
and they hired a real real greek great priest to marry us so he did the complete ceremony
complete and years later i was working in in the cemetery business and had a meeting with
greek orthodox church over some other business and they were telling a story about this priest
who got in a lot of trouble because he was on a tv show and he actually married the characters
of the tv show they're going um i think i might know those people and he said yeah legally i mean
not legally but um eyes of the church justin and adrian we're married which wally and judy
are we're going to spend eternity together aren't you so happy in the greek orthodox heaven yes
