Great interview. Since I was part of the GA during her last run, I never saw or read any interviews given by her. I love that she seems so even keeled. It's refreshing.

I'm excited for what's in store.

Story wise this show hasn't pleased me in years, but when I watch and have been able to see Jack / Jennifer / Maggie / Carrie / Kate, no matter how good or bad the scenes are, I'm happy to just see them around. It'll be the exact same with Kristen, no doubt.

And as for Chad, say what you want about him, but he looked damn good in that clip. Damn, damn good!

Also, I wonder if Kristen having scenes with Kate could have anything to do with Chad's mystery apartment visitor?

I wonder what monitor Eileen was talking about when she said she saw two boys kissing in it? Was she talking about a monitor at DAYS or her TV at home? LOL.

Thanks for sharing!

I was very happy with this interview and honestly don't understand the negative reaction some are having. First of all - this is what Eileen's interviews are like. She doesn't gush. And truthfully, some who do gush get blasted for it, because the scene doesn't usually meet whatever expectations they've set. Eileen is cool and collected in interviews, she always has been, and that doesn't bother me.

As for Chad, that scene looked to me like her first 'entry' scene, which they often tape. (Remember Drake and Deidre walking into the HTS? We saw the behind-the-scenes b-roll of that.) She probably goes up to him, asks him where to find someone (Stefano?), he fills her in, he realizes who she is.

She looked to me also to be very cautious in giving out spoilers, which doesn't surprise me with the current atmosphere. Aside from pics and who she's working with (in a very few cases), we've heard almost nothing. I wouldn't expect an interview like this to be different.

Overall, imo, she has a great grasp of history, she remembers the fun moments (and not how to get there - that was cute), and she looks excited. Can't ask for more at this stage.

TFP!
i agree, i thought it was a VERY good interview!

I had to laugh at the "very intensive therapy" line though. All I could think of was the Passions scenes where Alistair made the doc (Mike Horton as it was) give Sheridan electric shock therapy, and I IMMEDIATELY thought of Stefano forcing some doctor to give Kristen shock therapy.

My only question now is, did the writers remember that Salem thinks Kristen's dead?!?! I'm a little worried they forgot that aspect & we'll just see people surprised she's in Salem & nothing said about her being alive.

I love the fact that the show is showing the gay storyline. I love looking at my monitor and seeing two boys kissing and it being a loving, mature, kind of sweet relationship.

Aldo, you come up with the best GIFs! That one is just all kinds of awesome. I think it perfectly captures your sentiment as well as mine. I may just have to invite Eileen to my imaginary vodka martini bender with Lauren Koslow. How cool would it be to share a drink with those two wonderful women?

Watching this interview again (which, by the way, made me grin from ear to ear both times I watched it) I think Eileen knows a lot more than she's letting on. We already know Kristen isn't truly reformed based on Eileen's tweet ("It's good to be bad") but in this interview she plays it coy like she doesn't know for sure. Then there's Susan. On one hand she says it's a "possibility" she might be playing Susan, but then she goes on to say she'll "predominately" be playing Kristen, which pretty much spoils that we'll see Susan again, just not very often.

LoL @ her comment about Mary Moira. "It has to make sense in the context of the show. Just having this crazy nun come out of the Horton Square, how would I do that? I don't know how I would do that!"

I can't wait to see her back on the show!

I loved the interview by ED. I thought ED was fantastic & looked great. I also thought Kristen would be "good" to start off and then eventually, turn "bad" later. That is how I expected it to be and I am glad DAYS is going this way because it makes the storyline go longer, then shorter!!!

I think she's only playing Susan for a limited time. If they're going to have EJ back as a DiMera, then they'll need Susan.

Great interview. She know how to answer questions so well and seems to have so much insight on not just her story but stories in general.

Nice to see they are now starting to pimp some gay romance. No doubt that is Sonny and Will :wub: .

She may not even BE good. She may just be trying to convince people that she is. Or maybe she is good but the goodness she's acquired may not be all that strong. If she's faced with temptation, maybe she can't fight it sufficiently because she realizes that being bad can gain her what she wants.

I think Kristen will quickly unravel after arriving back in Salem. And add me into those that will be pissed if the show ignores the fact that Salem thought she'd been dead for the last 14 years.

It was a great interview. I think Eileen was just being very cautious about what she was saying in regards to the character. And you have to remember, she's teasing something we won't see for another couple of months (damn I hate their taping schedule!!). I'd rather they all keep quiet and not spill stuff they're taping now for three months from now that we all forget about.

I love you, Eileen Davidson. Welcome home.

While ED isn't going to save this show, she's going to make the sinking a whole lot more fun.

We might as well try to hope for the best. Sure...the writers haven't had a grasp on how to handle returns too well for the past several years, but maybe this one'll be different. And even if it's not, at least Kenny gets his wish...and others too.

Everyone ought to have a chance to see their favorites. This show may not be on much longer, so TPTB ought to give us a chance to see all our favorites before its demise.

I also thought it was a great interview. Eileen was just been her usual understated self in interviews. I thought it was funny to get her perspective on the possession storyline and how awkward she must have felt being dressed in lingerie and doing the devil's voice. It doesn't seem like she really wants to do that kind of campiness again, which is fine with me.

I'm glad to see that she's interacting with so many people so quickly - including Chad. (I like him). I'm especially looking forward to her scenes with EJ and Kate.

Also, I personally think it's high time that Peter gets out of jail and comes home to see his sister - especially if Jen will be newly single. She used to love him but she's scared of him now and that would be interesting to see especially with a grown up Abby in town since Abby remembers him too.

I am completely excited to see what bringing ED back will do for the show. But they better not waste it and need to write her right. No sucky Caustin x 2 tries for ED. They need to nail it.
