Official Days Press Release:

Days of our Lives Welcomes Back Daytime Icon Eileen Davidson

(Burbank, CA) Tuesday, January 27, 2014 – Days of our Lives is thrilled to announce the return of Eileen Davidson. The announcement comes on the heels of an exciting two year pickup announced less than a week ago by NBC. The actress is slated to begin taping sometime in March and will begin airing this summer.

Over the past year, the character of Kristen DiMera has been the driving force behind some of the most engaging and provocative storylines leaving fans and critics alike wanting more and eager for the return of their favorite villainess.

Returning for a powerful story arc that’s bound to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, Co-Executive producer Greg Meng commented, “As an important member of the Days family it is exciting to have Eileen return. The writers have some great things cooking for Kristen and we can’t wait for the fans to see what this will mean for Salem. Must-watch TV at its best! Stay tuned!”

YES! I've missed Kristen and Eileen.

Sounds like a great idea for her to "pop in" for story arcs. That way she can stay a villain and not be "watered down".

Have her be pregnant with Brady's baby, though. No more rape babies, please. If the writers want angst for Ericole, Kristen can just pretend Eric is the father.

I bet they'll just take the Ali schedule adjustments and apply them for Eileen.

Either way, if it means more Kristen/Marlena, good! I'm sick of Marlena being relegated to just listening to Sami and Eric vent.

OMG. Can you imagine if it's a "Who's the Daddy?" between Brady & Eric? Totally fucking up EVERYONE'S lives?

Why is Days continuing to plump up the one age group that doesn't need more females in it? Nothing against Eileen/Kristen, but the show needs more 45-60 males and a hell of a lot more 20-somethings, NOT more 45-60 females! We've already got Jen, Hope, Marlena, & now we've just added Eve & Kristen.
Who wants to bet that TPTB completely fuck up Kristen's return a second time?

I cannot!! I really hope she comes back pregnant with Eric's baby and passes it off as Brady's. You know that idiot will just accept it. That is perfect angst for Ericole. Marlena, John, Roman, etc. will all lose their shit too. If she starts airing in August I'll bet she's gone by November sweeps.

I don't think so. Eileen was pretty clear that she didn't want that, and it kind of sounded like they may have offered that before she left the last time. Besides, Ali will be there when she first comes back.

I thought Eileen didn't want to work so many hours? Also, I don't really expect to see a lot of Kristen/Marlena. I bet it will be a lot of focus on Brady & Eric. But if there is some Kristen/Marlena, I'm betting that John's about to become a complete moron again.

As long as Kristen goes to jail and stay in there for life. Can't stand her.

If they have too many in that age range they need to get rid of some others and keep Eileen. She goes to the top of the list, IMO. But it said she's back for an arc so I can see her just being around for three months or so to shake things up.

I hope Y&R recasts Ashley so Eileen's only option is to come do these arcs on Days.

ETA : Buuuut I don't think they have too many in that age anyway. That's where the beloved "vets" are now so obviously there would be a good amount if they want to keep people's favorites. And Kristen plays to the younger male category anyway. Remains to be seen what they do with Eve, but I'll guess she will be involved with Daniel and Jennifer.

There's no way she could be pregnant with Eric's baby, lol. It would have to be Brady's.

Eileen is at the bottom of the list for me. I wasn't a fan of the last run, and I think giving Kristen a baby at age 55 damages old story too.

I'm seriously bummed to see her back so soon before the show has had a good opportunity to change gears. Not a fan of this canvas at all.
