Eileen Davidson Returns to Days of Our Lives

NBC's Days of Our Lives is welcoming back another fan favorite.

Eileen Davidson, who last appeared as Kristen Blake in April 1998, will return to the long-running soap opera,The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.

Davidson will reprise the character she played from 1993-98 starting Oct. 11. Kristen, the foster daughter of Stefano DiMera, was presumed dead after a dead body matching her description was found floating in a pool. The real Kristen, however, was left on an island after being sold to a harem.

"I'm thrilled to embark on this new adventure at Days and excited to revisit Kristen and who knows who else! Not to mention my old friends in the cast and crew," Davidson told THR, with a nod to the many alter egos she's taken on over the years on the series.

Davidson, who had been playing Ashley Abbott on The Young & the Restless, becomes the latest Days fan favorite to return to the soap. Kristian Alfonso inked a new deal to remain in her role as Hope in May; Charles Shaughnessy and Lisa Rinna also returned to the series earlier this year.

Davidson is repped by Media Artists Group and Blain & Associates.

There are so many interactions I'm excited to see with Kristen: Marlena (obviously), John, Stefano, EJ, Sami, Nicole, Jennifer and Billie (just because I never got to see them as friends with Reeves and Rinna in the roles) and Brady.
Eileen Davidson and Arianne Zucker sharing scenes :hail:

I think I would officially enter "Soap Bitch Heaven" if that occurred!
Oh my. YEEEEEEEEEESSSS!! That would be so epic!

I never liked Kristen or any of the other 25 personalities they created for ED. I stopped watching during that reign of terror. People complain that EJ is on a lot. NO ONE will compare to the utter domination/over saturation of screen time that happened during the Kristen DiMera years.

That being said - I love ED and hope maybe she can do something to turn this ship around.

I just want Kristen and a week or two of Susan. The rest would be overkill. Even brief appearances. It would be silly and unnecessary, IMO. Kristen is the money character. Susan and EJ almost HAS to be addressed. Susan's best interactions IMO were with Kristen and Stefano, lol. Eileen Davidson acting against herself. I wouldn't be upset at all if Susan stuck around, but I think having her for a very short period of time would be best for everyone and it would most likely mean more Kristen.

These clips make my heart smile. They completely represent the time around 13 -17 years old. It's like looking at a photo album!

I kind of agree.

I would like Susan used sporadically. I also don't want ED getting burnt out and wanting to leave again.

While I really like Eileen Davidson, and I'm glad she's coming on Days, the beginning of a story is not very promissing. Kristen was stuck on an island sold to a harem? Hmmmmm....
Hopefuly they have something way better going forward.

So excited about this! If the writers can somehow focus a compelling business-related storyline on Eileen, Joe Mascolo, Drake Hogestyn, Deidre Hall and James Scott, I think we'd have a winner. I don't want to see Kristen locking Marlena in a secret room or something. Too much time has passed for that.

What's wrong with that? That is how her storyline ended when she left the show in 1998.

It was horrid ending to Kristen and it sounds even more stupid now, but there are plenty of ways around it. Either Stefano rescued her over a decade ago or she was released after a time. I'm confident this storyline isn't going to start off with her being locked in a room.
