My thinking is that Kristen would be worth more to DAYS than Ashley is to Y&R (as sad as that is to say). IMO, it all depends on how badly DAYS wants Kristen & how badly she wants to work.
She said the last time she was let go from Y&R that she would go back to Days if asked, but B&B snatched her up before Corday got off his ass and made her an offer. Also, last summer when she was in negotiations with Y&R she said she wishes she could do both shows (Days and Y&R) but the contract was already signed. Now that Y&R has let her go, I think it's pretty much a given that she'd go back to Days if asked.

Maybe Corday and co. heard something and that is why they haven't even considered firing Drake and Dee again. If they had a feeling ED may be available soon, I could see Tomlin and Whitesell wanting to tell a story with Kristen, John, and Marlena. It's right up their alley.
The only thing that really concerns me is that what I've read on Twitter, she is fighting with SONY over wages. Now, doesn't SONY own part of Days? And aren't they now very involved with Days now? Would they let her go over wages at Y & R and hire her at Days? If they're fighing over money, what would be different? Just a question.
Not sure. To me, this came off more like they needed to make a cut and they had nothing more for her. She's sort of been lingering for awhile. Knowing MAB, she probably wants to kill Ashley off in some cheap stunt. She's about due for one. She loves doing that with legacy characters.

I think Eileen may take less money at Days because of the schedule. She will get more time off and more manageable hours. This is one instance where Days will benefit for their production model. Eileen went back to Y&R in the late 90's because it was more family friendly and less exhausting than Days in terms of production. Now, it's the other way around so I can see her thinking this is worth it, even for less money.
Yep.

Short work days, several weeks off a year... she could do the show and still have a life, unlike before when they worked her 7 days a week for two years straight.

Kristen Blake could be to Days as Heather Webber is to GH... Jump in quick and start stirring the shit IMMEDIATELY.

I will be dropping some polite, respectfully worded notecards in the mail today to Whitesell, Tomlin, de Cazotte, Meng, Corday and those two Sony reps, requesting they look at engaging the services of Eileen Davidson.

I SUGGEST YOU ALL DO THE SAME TODAY. If the rumors broke this morning, and they receive an onslaught of snail mail, they will know we mean business.

I'm not just saying this because I like Tomlin and Whitesell but they have the potential to do Kristen justice. She's a character right in their wheelhouse.

I'm never been one to hop on the "Kristen return" bandwagon because I was never sure the canvas was set up for it. I think it would work now and the elements are in place for it IMO. With Lexie gone, Stefano could use a daughter, even if she isn't by blood. You got EJ and his parentage issues. J&M need a story and this is something Days has not tried yet. It's something different and there are so many angles to play with a Kristen return.

She was wasted over at Y&R. I could see her coming back to Days. I just wonder what this means for the vets already on Days canvas. Days has made it clear they want to go younger. If ED comes back to Salem, this doesn't bare well for PR's negotiations with show and maybe another Days vet would be let go to make room for ED.

Good God I hope Crackhead Kenny Corday doesn't sit on his hands too long with this. B&B will be going after her quickly so I hope DAYS gets on this first!! Eileen has always been very friendly and open with her DAYS fans in saying that she would come back if the opportunity was there. Crackhead Kenny has NO excuses. I'm starting to freak out. This is make or break for this show. DO IT!!

I am imagining John and Marlena's faces when Kristen walks through the door. EEEKKK!!!
I wouldn't mind it IF it gave J&M an actual storyline and if it was Kristen coming back hating absolutely everybody, especially J&M and getting revenge on them to avenge Stefano's death.

But no Susan and rest of the cavalry.

Shame Tucker had to go cheat on Ashley. They could have gone off into happily ever after, and then Kristen Dimera AND Steve Johnson back in Salem. LoL

Maybe it's naive of me, but ED was made well aware how much Kristen is missed within the last year. I really think she'd prioritize Days over other offers - but Days really needs to make their interest known if they haven't already.

Keep tweeting people! We can do this!

I agree.

Kristen is totally a Tomlin/Whitesell character and there are so many things that could be done with her on the canvas. I just hope Corday gets off his ass and makes it happen.

Ok, maybe she'll go off and Tucker will follow her off SO they can both come back! That would be terrific! :)

I was just thinking that what if it were rewritten that Kristen's baby didn't die after all? (Yes, I know it's silly & illogical to think that, but Sami held baby EJ in her arms, so that silly ship has already sailed). Maybe EJ is really Kristen's baby (that Susan got her hands on because someone, somewhere thought she was Kristen) and she & Alice worked to keep the fact that baby EJ (really Edmund James) a secret from Stefano (Baby Edmund is still out there somewhere...). Of course, that would mean John is EJ's father. Oh, the drama! Brady is EJ's half-brother (a triangle with Nicole could just write itself). And then you have to think about how Kristen would react to ANY woman her baby EJ would fall in love with. And then the real Edmund James Crumb turns up in Salem....

I just spoke to the receptionist at Corday Productions and she said she had no clue Eileen was let go from Y&R. I told her I wanted her back on Days and she said she would pass the information along.

Since the comment line is full, I suggest everyone call Corday Productions or the hotline in New York.

Corday Productions: (818) 295-2821

DAYS Hotline in New York: (212) 664-2333

DAYS Comment Line: (818) 840-2067


Let them know you want Eileen back before B&B has a chance to snatch her away.

If KC doesn't ask her back can we have him officially declared insane and disallow him from running the show?
