I hope that ED is returning, loved her! Kristen seems like the type of character that T/W would like to write. Nicole and Kristen as adversaries would be WOWOW! Sami and Susan also seem to fit for some reason.

I'm just going to say I'm the oddball but who's Kirsten?
:thanks: in advance.
Kristen is Stefano's adoptive daughter.

From Wikipedia:

Kristen initially came to Salem in 1993, as a social worker who soon met up with John Black. John couldn't understand why Kristen wanted nothing to do with him until she revealed the shocking truth -- she was Stefano's foster daughter and had been raised by Stefano DiMera after the death of her parents when she was a child. Kristen and John were eventually able to overcome her connection to Stefano, but they weren't able to overcome the fact that she was engaged to marry Stefano's son, Tony. Unbeknownst to Kristen, she had actually become engaged to André DiMera who was pretending to be Tony DiMera. The real Tony was being held on an island somewhere in the South Pacific.

After numerous manipulations, Kristen wound up marrying André believing he was Tony, but it wasn't long before she and John became lovers again, which was only helped by André having gone temporarily blind. Kristen eventually left André and prepared to have a future with John when the two learned he was a Catholic priest. Kristen could not come between John and his vows and returned to André, but when John was released from his vows, Kristen decided to petition the Church for an annulment so that her marriage to John would be recognised by the Church. Kristen and John were preparing for their future together when they, and many other Salemnites, traveled to Aremid. André staged his own death, framing John in the process. John was sentenced to death, with Kristen believing he did it. When John was exonerated, Kristen was relieved, even though she hadn't trusted him.

Shortly after John was exonerated, Kristen discovered a letter he wrote vowing his love to Marlena, and also discovered that the mysterious Woman in White was actually Rachel Blake, the mother she believed had died years earlier. She also learned that she was pregnant. Marlena agreed to stay away from John because Kristen's pregnancy was very delicate, and Kristen began to scheme to keep John and Marlena apart, even joining forces with Stefano in the hopes that he could get Marlena out of the picture permanently. Stefano held Marlena captive, and after John helped in her rescue, Kristen lost her baby, but convinced the doctor to keep quiet. Stefano, to help her, found Susan Banks, a pregnant Kristen-look-a-like, and arranged for Kristen to adopt her unborn child when it was born. The baby, named John Black Jr., was born and handed over to Kristen and John. Once Marlena realised the truth about Susan, who Kristen had to claim was a nanny to cover up when John caught them together, she arranged to have Marlena held hostage in a secret room.

Kristen wound up in the secret room with Marlena after Susan turned the tables on her, but luckily the two were rescued after Laura Horton forced Susan, who was about to marry John, to admit everything. Susan got her son back, and Kristen was arrested, but soon released on bail. John and Marlena began moving on with their lives together, so in a last-ditch effort to keep them apart, Kristen located a dying Roman. Because Roman could not handle any stress, John had to pretend to be married to Kristen while Marlena pretended that Roman was the man she wanted. She attempted to get close to the baby, whom Susan had rechristened Elvis (aka EJ DiMera), but her plans failed, and Stefano turned his back on her. John and Marlena later got Susan and her son out of the country. Kristen then kidnapped Susan's sister, Sister Mary Moira, and used that to bring Susan to town. When Susan didn't bring the baby, she sold her to an island harem. She had to pretend to be Susan when her boyfriend, Edmund, and his mother showed up in Salem, and even married him during her pretending. She had no choice by then, as Salem assumed that Kristen had died -- a body that looked a lot like hers was found in a swimming pool.

Susan and Edmund were able to meet up again, and Susan confessed that the body, whom Edmund had accidentally killed, believing she was Kristen, was also her sister -- Penelope Kent. She was dying, so Edmund couldn't be held at fault. Susan arranged to switch places with Kristen, leaving her in the island harem.


If you ever have free time watch Aremid, The Letter, Lady In A Cage, The Pillow Baby, & The Secret Room on youtube. However, be aware, once you start you won't be able to stop.

Speaking of favorite moments, one of my faves was Vivian discovering all of Kristen's schemes and blackmailing her into voting for her at the Titan Board meeting. The look on John & Kate's faces when Kristen went against their wish was pure soap opera.

Addendum: if Melanie dies and Shelley does come back but just to attend Melanie's funeral, so help me God, there will be dead bodies. The only Melanie-related function Stephanie should have is that of her killer!

(P.S. I don't know how Melanie will exit. This is just what crossed my mind.)
Nah, she could also come back to dance on that little bitch's grave. I'd LOVE to see that! ;)

There was just something about Kristen I couldn't help but root for even though the writing absolutely let us know where it was going. I think is was simply the way ED played her similar to AZ in the baby switch story.

Since Eileen Davidson is on her way back...

I hope the show brings back Peter Blake too! Trevor St John on the show would be the biggest win for DAYS! I really hope TPTB read this board! ;)
Why do you want to recast Peter? Did you guys hate Jason Brooks so much in the role or what? I mean Jason is the only one who played him so he's the reason I liked Peter. I don't like recasting a character just for the sake of recasting. Especially not with someone like Trevor St John who always looked so bored and was sleepwalking through his scenes.

Jason Brooks is Peter Blake, no one else in the role is acceptable.

Ummm i think Jason Brooks might be a sesitive issue for one particular cast member. I somehow doubt he will be back. ;)

I don't see the issue with Eileen's comments either. She played FIVE CHARACTERS. Two of those characters she played nonstop for two years. Let's remember too that back then the schedule was different and actors often worked from the early morning hours well into the evening.
I agree about Eileen's comments, but it's not only that they worked morning till night (which they did), it's that if someone plays 2 characters in one scene, it's usually DOUBLE the taping time, plus time for hair/makeup change. I remember some of the other actors even commenting about it at the time, since it was more work for everyone. I mean around the time of the big Elvis wedding, I think they were working 18 hour days, and a lot of that was to reshoot everything when Eileen and the body double switched. Days got what they wanted out of that story (and it was great!), but then they added even more Eileen characters to the mix! I think anyone would have been completely burned out, and I'm sure the rest of the cast was happy to take a breath as well when she left.

As long as Melissa Reeves is on the show the character of Peter Blake will not come back. But if she leaves one day Peter might have a chance, that's why I don't see a reason to recast.

That whole MR and JB scandal will prevent him from coming back , but he IS Peter Blake for me.

Wouldn't that be a huge let down if Hennig's return was the "big news," rather than Davidson.
Only Jim Reilly's return to Days would be a bigger happy dance for me. Anyone else other than ED will result in many 'wtf' comments and angry tirades.
But Reilly is dead...I assume you MUST know this??
Yes, I know, lol. After I wrote that I thought about going back and saying, "but since that can't happen....".

Come on Ron, We are counting on YOU !!

I wouldn't doubt that she returns AT FIRST as Susan to interact with Ej about the paternity thing. We are assuming that Joe isn't back yet, so maybe as Susan returns, she starts to interact with Ej and then Stefano returns too....once the paternity thing with Ej is re-established as Stefano, I don't see a reason to keep Susan around. Kristen can start appearing when Stefano returns and then Susan can stop her appearance a few weeks after Stefano gets back to Salem. Kristen then stays.

There's no way the show would only bring back Susan. Days has outgrown characters like that. It would be nice if she returned for a bit and reunited with EJ and met the grandchildren, but after that, she could go. It would be better for Kristen to take on the motherly role anyway. I want her to drive Marlena up the wall by considering Mar's grandchildren hers. Peter's return would be nice, too. Unlike Kristen, he is recastable, though.

Can someone remind me - I thought Marlena had something on Kristen at this point that she agreed not to say anything about. Was she really only hiding her feelings for John during that part of the story?

This sounds more promising every day. The show just needs to come out and make it official already.

I want Kristen. So much story potential for her to return. I can only handle Susan in small doses. It would make sense for Susan to make an appearance though with EJ and tie up those loose ends with his parentage. I love her sweetness and her fierce Mama Bear mode over EJ. Maybe EJ had paid for his mom to get some dental work? She could still be slow on the uptake and have a heart of gold, but not so crazy looking?

Also, they wouldn't make Kristen EJ's mom after all this time, would they?

WOW, taking that down can only mean one thing...she's coming back. I would be so happy. They butchered the character, but I still loved it. Seeing Shelley around the cast at the Emmys and the Nominees Reception has really made me want her back on the show. She seemed so happy to be back around the cast and crew too. There's a huge void for her and this would be a pretty big get for the show considering her age. Please let this be true.
the character of Stephanie was when I was tuned out for the most part...then she became a whiney bag of suck...then she was really amazing and then she was gone. lol I'd like the chance to really give SH a chance because from what I've heard she was really good.
