Nelson Branco Soap Uncensored: Is Eileen Davidson back?

Nelson's article has been posted. Both Eileen and Greg are mentioned as coming to Days........

DAYS OF OUR LIVES, NBC/GLOBAL — Davidson’s Awkward Sony Deal To Reprise DAYS Roles Exposed! Greg Vaughn Cast as Eric Brady! Gay-less DAYS Ahead!
• Eric Brady, Sami’s good twin, is finally headed back to Salem. Sources inform UNCENSORED that Greg Vaughn has nabbed the coveted role. Kyle Lowder, who played Brady on DAYS, pitched himself but the show thought it was too confusing for the audience to have Eric Martsolf—Brady’s current portrayer on the canvas. Yet it’s OK to have Josh Taylor’s Chris K play Roman Brady?

Speaking of Vaughn and Sweeney, the duo will be working together a lot in the near future. According to DIGEST, the on-screen siblings will be teaming up for a Hallmark movie, which has begun production. "Finally signed, sealed & delivered! Starring in a new Hallmark Movie starting Wednesday opposite my girl @Ali_Sweeney!! Gonna be great fun!" the former GH actor tweeted.

• Whoohoo: Eileen Davidson is indeed joining DAYS as Kristen and Susan, report my moles. But the story behind the worst-kept secret in daytime is more fascinating. Apparently, Sony’s Steve Kent brought Davidson into his office and said, “I have good news and I have bad news. The bad news is that you’re leaving Y&R because DAYS really wants and needs you.” At first, Sony wanted Davidson on both DAYS and Y&R. However, sources say that the Y&R writing team refused to share Davidson with DAYS and forced Sony to make a decision ultimately leading to her Y&R firing. But those sneaky Y&R writers lied to Davidson’s face when she asked why she couldn’t pull double duty on both Sony serials. The scribes insisted it was Sony’s decision, which led to the actress’s infamous tweet about learning she was fired (which now makes sense since we all knew she was merely being transplanted to DAYS). Needless to say Davidson is not a happy camper with the Y&R brass. Get in line, sweetie!

I've never felt so torn.

Damn this show for not getting her back in 2006 or 2002 or 1999 or pretty much any time when I could have been *really* excited and when her return would have meant more to me than "Now I have to watch this lousy show again." I mean, I'm certainly looking forward to seeing my favorite character again, but I hate that it's finally happening when the show has basically been whittled down to nothing (not to mention while it's in the hands of Tomlin, in whom I have no faith at all to not disappoint me and/or piss me off).

Do we take Nelco's word for it??

I suppose since every other "insider" is saying the same thing.

Also, what was said about "Gayless Days"?

^thanks for that!! Wow, can I just say how glad I am Sony owns Y&R and Days? And also how glad I am that Days has Sony in their pocket (obviously) to steal her from YR and basically give her to Days? (Assuming what Nelson says is true).

Since I couldn't care less about YR, I truly find this news amusing.

What's the gayless Days ahead thing? Are they writing out WilSon?

Oh and I admit it. I was wrong and he did have big news. I'm glad someone finally brought some newish info about ED. I thought that might have been a Sony move. I really need Days to issue a press release though. All these rumors have been swirling forever, but it's not going to feel real until there's some official confirmation.

Well our first official "source" has confirmed ED news...

And what CUNTS Y&R are for doing that to ED...she could have played BOTH shows.

If what the above says is true I suspected this all along since both shows were owned by Sony and Sony wants DOOL to stay on the air. Kind of crazy that Eileen would consider juggling THREE different roles. Seems a bit much but she did do over five at one time ha. Not sure what I think about this return.

If true, wow! Makes it sound like Davidson knew all along she wasn't out of a job. BTS takes the cake again.

So Y&R must be pissed at Sony for basically stepping in and TAKING ED away.

I don't think I have EVER loved Sony more than I do right now!!

Also, notice he says joining DAYS as "Kristen AND Susan" so looks like we don't need to worry about it just being for Susan.

And the show gets worse. This show doesn't need ED. It needs heroes and heroines. It doesn't need a demented Dimera and a Eric Brady whose darker...

The writers at Y&R are just dirty for doing her like that. There's no reason they couldn't "share" her with Days....not like she was doing anything amazing over there anyway. They hardly utilized her. Their loss, I guess? Maybe she will be a more permanent fixture at Days since Y&R pissed her off, haha.

Interesting that Kyle threw his name into the Eric hat. I definitely still see him as Brady, but my mom still calls JT Chris soooo....I don't know. Their reasoning sucks because Ava was recently masquerading as Taylor Walker, but I think they were right in their decision.

Tentatively excited about this, as much as possible with Tomlin around. Sincerely hope there is way more Kristen than Susan. Would be really shitty if the BTS stuff is true, but I'm glad Eileen isn't out of a job.

(Boo on the "Gayless Days" and whatever it's likely to mean.)

Seriously! Days has some serious angels to thank at Sony. Heck, so do we. Maybe we should send them a cake....

Damn, I just read the gayless part. I was so focused on ED, I missed that. Once again, two steps forward, one step back.
