I've been waiting years for Peter Blake to come back.... Just recast him to cause problems for Jenn and I think they will bring andre or tony back to play with kristen

I'd rather they just reference Peter- unavoidable now, right?- and Kristen uses what Jennifer did to him as an excuse to torture her a bit. Maybe some good old fashioned gaslighting.

That's the story I'll tell myself, anyway.

And I really hope for no Andre/Tony. That would suck ass, imho.

I'm tentatively excited about Kristen's return. I just want to keep my expectations really low so I'm not disappointed.

I see your tentative excitement and raise you a cautiously optimistic.

Eileen Davidson makes my heart beat with glee. And this interview made me feel like I was 15 again and making my ED scrapbook!
Ahh, if only there were only boys kissing boys onscreen during her first run. Mary Moira would have had a fit, but it would have made my life so much easier. Love you, Eileen!

Please write 4 Bryan Dattilo, Give him a love interest.

wow thats an awesome interview! I enjoyed what she had to say and finally, it looks like there is some great stuff coming up on my Days! I'd like to be able to watch more then I do now. Right now, all I watch for are Lucas, Lumi and Will and Jarlena. Now I can watch for Kristen too. I actually can not wait to see her return!

Aw man, this kinda bummed me out.

Doesn't sound like we're getting a big, crazy, dramatic entrance.

Honestly I am hoping they are going to write Kristen as a realistic villain. I want her character to have longevity and a big dramatic entrance with her hellbent on destruction would seem kind of campy. DOOL just isnt that show anymore

Who's to say what longevity on soaps is anymore. She doesn't have to be an over-the-top comic book villain (and I wouldn't want her to be), but I would like to have fun for however long she's around.

You're right though; DAYS isn't the show it was during Kristen's first run -- it's significantly less entertaining now. A villainess like Kristen was before is exactly what it needs and has needed for a long time, IMO. I'm tired of this show trying to write all of its villains as being 'grey' because it doesn't know how to.

I just don't want a dumb corporate storyline with her working at Dimera Enterprises with John or some shit like that.

Yeah. We need some real drama with her back on the show. Not a "reformed" Kristen, or a boring business storyline like CW and Madworld.

Now, having Kristen, Jarlena, Ejole, Chad, and perhaps Stefano fight for the DiMera name/DiMera enterprises, THAT I could get behind.

I think you all misunderstood. I want her to be a very dark villain but not cartoonish.

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!
Agreed. I was expecting something very different after some of these replies. I thought she did a good job of being mysterious about things that were to come and that she seemed excited without being over the top, and well, fake. She also fielded the questions about Kristen's 1,001 alters well, considering that the story devolved into silliness in the end (although it was entertaining).

I'm glad to hear she's working with CD. Chad is Kristen's brother after all, and we're really short on adult Dimera family members right now.

If Susan showed up in head gear I would die laughing.

I figured John and Marlena wouldn't believe anything she says.

Since EJ is her son it would make sense for Susan to pop up eventually.

I dont think Kristens first scenes will be with Chad to be honest. I could see John and Marlena talking about her and then we cut to her in Europe booking a flight to Salem. Thats my prediction anyways.

They won't be.

The day this interview was taped, which is presumably the same day Eileen and Casey taped scenes together, was on or after July 15th, based on this shot from the beginning of the video:

Posted Image

For those who can't read it, it's a sign that says "Days of Our Lives Crew: As of 7-15-12, we have worked 130 days without a recordable incident. Think safety first."

Since the 15th fell on a Sunday, this interview was probably taped the following Monday, July 16th -- four working days after she taped her first scenes on July 11th. Additionally, Eileen made it sound like she had been back a few days by the time this interview was taped, so unless everything was taped out of order, her first scenes are not going to be with Chad.

thanks for catching that. Kristen has been gone for 14 years. She needs some kind of introduction scene for viewers both old and new. I just couldnt picture her first scene suddenly popping in the coffee shop lol

My guess is that John and Marlena will be at the HTS and we'll first see Kristen lurking ominously in the background....which would be disappointing for me, personally. Not every return has to be dramatic and momentous, but I really think Kristen's is one that calls for it. I would love for it to be similar to Tony/Andre's return during the party at the Penthouse Grille in 2002, but I'm sure it won't.
