I'm trying to trick Drake. I sent him a tweet asking if he has shared any scenes with Eileen yet. Lol. Maybe he will say yes.
Drake never tweets though...ever.

This is sad. It has to be about Eileen. Nadia can be as popular as you want, but she has never been a leading lady.

Eileen must be demanding some serious money because DAYS just freed up a TON of money by losing Peter Reckell. I'm sure she wants a lot because Y&R is known to pay a lot of money for their stars. With her tenure there being so long I would guess that she probably made more being a supporting character on Y&R than the highest paid actor on DAYS currently makes.

I don't want the show to butcher itself anymore and break the bank for one character, but Eileen Davidson is worthy of being one of the top 5 paid people on the show. I don't think she should make more than Kristian Alfonso, but knowing that KA just took ANOTHER pay cut DAYS should take that into consideration and offer ED a little more. After a while though if this breaks down I'm going to think its more ED's fault than DAYS'. It says they are trying hard and that's a lot for this show considering they rarely try anything worth a fuck.
Well...considering Lisa Rinna, Galen Gering, Shawn Christian, Camila Banus, Casey Deidrick and Schuyler Yancey are all still ON CONTRACT...then the money issue is completel and utter bullshit to me.

Fire all of the above if it means freeing up money for Eileen IMO!
Exactly. None of those people add anything to the show anyway. Even if they don't get Eileen back there's no reason to keep any of those actors on.

^ Agreed.

I will give the show Galen Gering (even though I despise his character with the fire of a 1000000 suns), because they actually USE him...but the rest contribute ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

I mean WTF is Lisa Rinna doing still being employed at DAYS.

Cut that fame whore and give the money to ED or PR or MA or CC!

Its also unrealistic for DAYS to think they can lowball her into a contract.
Damn this show for waiting so long to go after her. They should've done this in 2006 when they still had a budget and could offer decent contracts.

Agreed. There's no excuse for missing out on her the last time she was available. They actually had a budget then and they chose not to give it a go. I still like EJ, but he is in need of a serious overhaul and if Kristen had been around that entire time I think the character of EJ would have been benefited more than anyone. The show really doesn't think at all.

I still have hope that they're going to sign her. She has nothing else going on and I doubt she has any other offers on the table. Its kinda DAYS or retirement. She might be ready to accept retirement if she feels like DAYS is lowballing her but I doubt it. The show needs to compromise and realize she's coming from a HUGE paycheck and the top show and she needs to realize that DAYS can't afford to be paying anyone a Y&R salary even if they did cut all of the endless amount of dead weight currently featured on the show.

As far as ED and Days go, with the mandate to go younger, I can see NBC being the one playing hardball here. ED is over 50 years old and not in the target market for the future direction of the show. If the deal doesn't happen, this shows how much power NBC really has over the show right now.

Just a thought, but maybe the money and weekly guarantees are complicated by the fact that they want her to be both Kristen and Susan (per that poll on the Days website a while back). That's basically two very different characters for the price of one. I wouldn't blame her if she wanted to stipulate some things in her contract around that. :shrug:

This sucks. Just need a yes or no answer here.

Sent a message to Greg Meng & Eileen Davidson messages on FB, hope they read it!
You can also message Steve Kent, the guy in charge of Sony.

Thanks, Kenny! On my way to message him too!

Reckell's been known to spill some secrets by accident before it's made official. Someone should tweet him if he'll get any scenes with Eileen Davidson before he's written out.

We could always tweet Crystal Chappell the next time she's twittering drunk and ask if she's heard anything.

I tweeted Melody Thomas Scott and asked her. I think they are pretty tight.

Lol, well if someone has good news I want to know....bad news....not so sure about that.

But if BB or GH get her I will flip. There's no reason Days shouldn't pull out every stop. If ED wants the dressing room with the shower and doesn't want to work before noon, agree to the conditions. They're worth it.

Seriously...Their salaries could go to new sets and wardrobe people lol

I personally don't care or even want a Susan return. I want Kristen!!!

Gone, But Not Forgotten!

I find it odd that NBCDAYS hasn't said anything about their new HW and SL direction. Why are they being so secretive? Everything we get is second hand, rumors from tweets or industry insiders. You'd think that TPTB would be confident with their decisions and let the viewers no what's going on. It is almost like they are afraid to say anything. I wonder if they are waiting to see how they do at the emmy's this week. Surely another campaign from DR and fans to set things afire would seem just fitting.

I'm just feeling depressed about this show now.....I'm going to try to ignore any 'news' for a while, hopefully then I'll come back here in a week for a good announcement.
