Here's everything to know about Kayla Brady and her current storyline on Days of Our Lives

Kayla Brady is a fictional character on the daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives, and was first introduced in 1982. The character has been portrayed by actress Mary Beth Evans since 1986, when she took over the role from Catherine Mary Stewart, who initially portrayed Kayla Brady on the daytime soap opera.

In the recent episodes of Days of Our Lives, as the Brady family learns about Bo Brady's declining health, they all find it difficult to accept. Bo has been in a coma for more than two years, and Kayla finds that his organs are shutting down due to sepsis (a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection). She talks to Dr. Jeffrey Russell, who works at the Salem University Hospital and has been working on a drug that aims to cure the disease.

Dr. Russell tells her that he won't be able to help her as the drug has neither been tested nor certified by the FDA, to which Kayla offers a handsome amount in exchange for buying the drug under the table. Jeffrey declines the offer, as he does not want to risk his career.

Since the Salem University Hospital is not doing well financially, the recent fundraiser/carnival that was hosted at the Horton Square did no good. Kayla knew she could leverage the doctor for a favor. However, Jeffrey mentioned that he was receiving calls from Big Pharmas who were calling the doctor for that drug, and that he might respond if he finds the grass greener there (if they offer them good money).

Fans speculate that Kayla might leverage the decline of the hospital's finances and bring Dr. Russel on board to sell her the drug. On the other hand, Shawn might be planning to steal the drug with the help of Steve from the hospital.
