THR: EILEEN DAVIDSON RETURNING!

I don't think it's really sunk in for me yet that Eileen is back. For so long it seemed like such an impossibility that now that it's actually happening I can't wrap my brain around it. A small part of me still thinks this is all a mistake and it's too good to be true. I don't think I'm going to fully believe it until I see a picture of her on set or until she confirms it directly on Twitter.

I can't believe I'm actually going to SEE her on the show again. Her name will be spoken. She will interact with people. She will have a story. Rather than existing only in my memory, she will be a living, breathing reality in Salem... something she hasn't been in more than 14 years. I can't wait!

Kenny I would love to hear some of your ideas for a dream Kristen return. I just hope it is dramatic and chill inducing for us who love her and the DOOL of the 90's.

I don't know how short-term this is going to be, but judging by posts made by Jerry Douglas (John Abbott, Y&R) it seems like they could be killing Ashley Abbott off of Y&R. He said there were heartfelt scenes that were probably the last time we would see all of the Abbotts together. We know Jack Abbott isn't going anywhere. Traci is recurring and pops in randomly, I think that will continue. Jerry Douglas plays a recurring ghost so unless he's officially retiring, my best guess would be that Ashley is dying.

Yeah, I too like to know how long ED is back? It has to be longer than 6 months.

Selfishly...I hope this is true and that Ashley ends up decapitated, and her organs donated...that way ED can never reprise the role of Ashley and will stay on DAYS as Kristen/Susan

Not going to lie, the thought crossed my mind. I can't hope for it without feeling terrible because Y&R is going to outlast DAYS by years and I don't want Eileen Davidson to be out of work with nowhere to go. But I do hope she's with DAYS for as long as the show is on air or as long as she wants to act at all.

I thought you liked her! Why would you wish her stuck on a show that's facing possible cancellation? I'd say let's just enjoy her while we can.

I don't expect anything by now except that her return will be as disappointing as those of ALL the other vets brought back: Steve, Kayla, Vivian, Carrie, Austin, JACK. Either that or another 100 different characters. I did think they way overdid her with FOUR of them.

They wouldn't be able to do that again even if they wanted to. The show doesn't have the budget for it. I think Eileen will play Kristen and Susan for a short while to tie up story threads, but after that she'll just play Kristen.

I'm elated by this news and never thought I'd see that headline ever and now here we are with quotes and an airdate. Elated is an understatement. One of the biggest questions in daytime history (for me anyway) is "Whatever happened to Kristen?". Now we will know. This return has been a LONG time coming. There's tons of riveting story here. I wish we could've had her sooner but I'm not complaining as we have her now. Days did ONE thing right. They didn't recast Kristen. That's a character only one actress can play. Thank GOD they never recast her. They never showed Susans face for that one episode so I don't count that.

Anyone who's unfamiliar with the character of Kristen and wants to familiarize themselves with her, I suggest visiting JohnMarlena's Youtube Channel. They have a comprehensive collection of some of the best 90's stories in playlist form with all the clips in chronological order. They have pretty much every J&M/Kristen scene from 1994 until 1998, starting with The Possession and Aremid right on through The Pillow Baby and The Secret Room.

The Kristen stuff begins with The Letter and continues on through Lady In A Cage, The Pillow Baby, The Secret Room and The Reunion. I suggest catching up in anticipation of Eileen's return!

JohnMarlena's YouTube Channel

The Letter - "The unforgettable saga of John and Marlena continues after they return from Aremid with a whole new set of obstacles impeding their reunion."

Lady In A Cage - "Stefano DiMera has our heroine locked in a cage where John can see her but not touch her, and the Paris underground holds our supercouples fate in its big and little hands."

The Pillow Baby - "Kristen has lost the baby and since the baby is the only reason John is with her she tries everything imaginable to keep him while Marlena sacrifices everything waiting for a chance to tell John the truth."

The Secret Room - "J&M take a back seat to all the lunatics in Salem." (Marlena discovers the truth about the baby, Kristen locks her in a secret room to keep her quiet, and everything comes to a head at John and Kristen's wedding, dubbed "Nightmare at Graceland." The climax of this story got Days a 6.9 in the Neilsen ratings -- its highest rating in 20 years and closer than any other show has come to de-throning Y&R as the #1 soap.)

The Reunion - "John and Marlena's reunion after many years apart is short-lived because of more manipulations by the DiMeras -- most notably the return of a 'dead' Roman Brady on John and Marlena's wedding day, courtesy of Kristen."

I hope this wasn't adressed already, because man you guys can post a lot in a short period of time...lol!!! It would take me forever to get through it all.

Anyway, has anything been said as to how Kristen will return?

Cause I'm really hoping for and ENSEMBLE ADVENTURE STORY (sorry, I'm writing in big letters for TPTB) where the Salemites get stranded...oh... I don't know... on the SAME ISLAND KRISTEN IS BEING HELD CAPTIVE ON!!!

Please...please...please...with a cherry on top!!! This show needs a good solid ENSEMBLE ADVENTURE!!!

TFP, Kenny! :cheer: THIS is the kind of stuff I want to see on the show again. Reilly rocked these storylines, and memories of stories like these is why longtime viewers are complaining about the state of the show now. We KNOW that it can be better.
