I will seriously be heartbroken if Chandler is backburned or leaves the show... I adore him!

I hope Branco's just pulling shit out of his ass, and that this isn't true.

This is great! the writers have a lot of s/l potential with these two coming in. Granted, tomsell is writing it but this stuff should write itself. Fingers crossed for some good stuff!

I'm upset about putting the gay s/l on the backburner. That s/l got people talking AND helped get CM an Emmy. Plus, it has been the best s/l Days has now. Days makes good decisions and then horrible ones. I wonder about them. :shame:

The thought Of ED returning makes me hurl! They're just going to use her as EJ's nanny now that they've killed off Lexie. I can't for the life of me think of a reason why she is needed. Unless her real name is "prayer", This show needs a hell of a lot more than ED right now.
Did you watch any of ED's first run?

At all??

She's a goldmine.

This will definetly open up story for the DH's as well.

Sure, I can't wait to see her opposite JS, I think screens everywhere will melt but that's not all she'll do.

Her and DeeH will set things on fire as well.
I know for a fact that Aliaron saw when Kristen was on but many of us (me included) were fed up with her by the time she left. She was very overexposed, played a bunch of different characters and frankly the only one that worked IMHO was Kristen. I on one hand don't mind her return though, but I really have learned from a bunch of lackluster returns (CC, LS, MA, MR, BD) not to get my hopes up with these writers today giving any returning character a good, solid storyline that captivates us anymore. If we're lucky we will get 25% of what Kristen/Susan were....if we're really lucky we'll get half. I have lost all faith in Days giving me something that will entertain me anymore.
Thank you LL. You said it better than I.

First, I don't need anyone telling me about ED's first run. I'm 90s Days all the way. Which is why I can see how shitty this show is now, and how ED will just be underutilized or horribly written or both with this current regime.

And if there is anyone ED needs to work opposite with, its AZ. Their characters are similar and their acting styles would play well off each other. Those two need to go toe to toe.

Not every new or returning character must be in a scene with JS. That show-eating mf'er needs a long break. And all the writers would do if they put ED and JS in scenes together is Lexify her. She will become just as Lexie became. The shoulder for EJ to cry on. No thank you.

I watched ED's first run. I have also watched the current state of Days. I'd be a fool to think ED's second run will match one percent of her first run.

Yay what great news! I can't wait to see her work opposite James. Let the sibling rivalry for the Dimera empire begin! Chad who....

Especially if they bring Stefano back, but part of me wants them to recreate Y&R's Jack and Ashley dynamic. I loved their brother/sister dynamic. PB and ED made you feel that they were actually siblings that loved one another. EJ needs a new Lexi.

I just don't have a good feeling about all of the faith Sony apparently has in Kristen's return. Sure, she led the stories in the mid-90s, but that's a case of "that was then, this is now." As it's been stated several times, Kristen hasn't been seen in 14 years, with barely to little mentions in those 14 years. That's almost a decade and a half! Just like the audience in the 90s changed from the 80s, the audience of today may not be the same as the 90s. The shippers for EJami, EJole, Safe, Lumi, etc. probably don't even know/nor care who the hell Kristen Blake is. Honestly, I can't believe anyone thinks this is going to improve the show. Yes, I'll enjoy Kristen's return because I was there watching in the 90s. Other posters will be in the same boat. But I'm sure there are many, many, many viewers that aren't going to even twitch at the first sight of Kristen. Look at what Carly's return did in 2009. She hadn't been seen in 17 years. There was a slight bump around her return, but it's hard to determine what that was a result of since the show's leading story (baby switch 2) was at it's climax at that point. After that initial rise, no one seemed to give a damn about Carly being back in Salem. Many still had no idea who she was and it wasn't until she became Melanie's mother that it felt she had a permanent place on the show with today's audience.

Kristen returning now would be like Don Craig returning in 1996. No one would have cared at all, I'm afraid.

I know the people online are not the same as the people offline, but the ejami site is full of Kristen support. i don't think this or much else, is going to get big ratings, but Kristen's return shouldn't be like Carly's. She's not a permanent threat to any fanbase and she still has family on the show. While Carly had to float around, Kristen can slip seamlessly back into the Dimera fold.

I can see them eventually getting close but not while father is dead.

Seems to me Sonny is probably being used all during the month of September to use his allotted episodes than he will be written out. Will will probably just be used sparingly until Chandler jumps ship when his contract ends.

Just pathetic. This show has received more praise for their gay story vs. all of the other daytime shows I have seen. This gay story is what got me tuning back in. I guess I am tuning back out. I'm so disgusted like I was with Kish. This is Kish all over again.

Seriously, don't make this out to be something conclusive, it's not. Nelson Branco isn't the Dalai Lama, he's been wrong plenty of times. Just keep being supportive of Chandler, Freddie, Wilson and keep letting the show know they are valued!

I am a little worried. First the title says Is Eileen back with a ?. So is she back or not? Second, does she want to do DAYS now? We know she wanted to do both Y&R and DAYS but if the choice came down to doing just one she would probably choose Y&R again. I really hope that Eileen wants to do DAYS.

I think Eileen will be on Days for a pre-determined run and then return to Y&R. I find it interesting that the idiot writers at Y&R wouldn't work to accommodate a dual run. Sooooo stupid since it could be good publicity for both shows to have a cross over actor. Plus, isn't Sony ultimately the boss, couldn't they have told Y&R to accommodate. Kind of confused with the network vs Sony relationship. I thought they owned both shows.
SONY does own both shows, but I think because Y&R is on CBS and DAYS is on NBC, they MUST get clearance with their network to have one of their performers appear on a rival network.

All of the actors at Y&R and DAYS have contracts with their shows THROUGH Sony.

Perhaps Y&R/CBS absolutely would not allow it, while DAYS/NBC would...thus no deal and DAYS gets ED 100%.

After all of the fucking press and praise they are dropping the gay story.
What gay story? There has never been a gay story! It's just been the same scenes over and over again with Will yelling at Sami and making drunk faces at EJ.

EXACTLY!!

Carly no where NEAR made an impact like Kristen IMO....without Buried Alive (and that really was a starring vessel for Vivian), Carly and CC would have been a nobody on DAYS.

Kristen however will go down in DAYS history as one of the most entertaining characters of all time.

IF it is true that Will and Sonny are being written off the show, DAYS is done. Will's coming out story was the only story done well for the past year and it is the only story that has gained the show publicity and praise, not to mention Chandler's Emmy Award. No WilSon? No DAYS!
