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.
There was barely any Marlena the first time round.
There wasn't as much as I would have liked, but I wouldn't say "barely any". There were some very good snarky scenes between the two of them, and Marlena's character was integral to the story.
She actually got a good deal more screen time when Kristen was there.

Sorry, but all these comments about how "Wtf?" it is for someone Kristen's age to get pregnant are just really bizarre to me. :shrug: It's not like women who are 35+ just have their eggs turn to dust - it just decreases the ability to conceive for some women. Two of my aunts each a child in their 40's and another one in her 50's. And I know non-family members who have gotten pregnant at a later age as well. It's not just some soap opera trope that gets thrown around every couple of years. So I just don't get the whole "she's too old to get pregnant" excuse.
Menopause.
Or the fact that she lived into her 50s never being able to get pregnant because she was diagnosed with a disease. Plus, there's the added risk of birth defects, which was never mentioned by Kristen's fertility doctors.

I have watched days with my mom since I was really little... Carly being buried alive scarred me for life. But it wasn't until 96 that I started paying attention, I was home-schooled that year so I got to see it almost every day. One of the very first things I remember, story wise when i started, was Kristen being told she couldn't have kids. I know history gets rewritten all the time but I just think... If she came back pregnant it would really mess up that story in my head, not that the writers care about that. But, the whole Kristen/Susan/Mean mean vampires/Secret Room/Peter Blake/Laura Horton thing will probably always be my favorite storyline, and If Kristen can get pregnant, it would make that whooole story moot.

... I mean... If she gets pregnant... ALL THAT'S LEFT of the history of the charicter... ARE... ASHES LAURA!!! ASHES LAURA!!!

...I'm sorry, I couldn't resist >.>

Omg! Omg! This is the best news ever! I can't believe it! I thought we'd have to wait a long time to see her again! Thank you Eileen! :cheer: :rockon:

Now can she PLEASE share a scene or 2 with Blake Berris this time? I don't care what they would be doing. I just NEED to see those 2 fabulous actors together!

I'm not. A lot people seem to want days void of any kind of trouble maker or villain characters despite the fun they bring to the show. There was two other polls a while back that was neck and neck for "like em or leave em?" those polls were for JJ and Theresa. It's so weird how there are viewers who want absolutely nothing bad to happen to anyone at anytime. Like, that would be so boring.
Or maybe those that don't want her back got tired of the Kristen show, and don't want more of that. :shrug:

I completely agree with the person who said they should overhaul Kristen and EJ's relationship. If they could sell PM-Austin as LK-Kate's child, I'll go along with Kristen as EJ's substitute mom.
IMO it's WAY too late for that.

That would've been so much more interesting to me than what they did write for Ejisten. Plus, it would've explained EJ's sudden loyalty to her better.
Why would Elvis necessarily like or feel loyalty to a woman who, along with Stefano, stole him from his birth mother to pass him off as her own? In fact I don't get why they never played that side of Elvis's story.

Which is a lot more than now. :-/ She's barely used for the Ericole storyline, and other than that she's only to be used during holiday episodes. lol

Kristen didn't steal EJ. Susan sold him, then she saw the life Kristen had set up for herself with John and the baby and decided she'd rather have that, than the money. The show could have looked through the 53 back-stories they've written for EJ and picked the one that would allow him to feel loyalty toward Kristen, lol.

LOL...what about putting Nick and Kristen together? Their pathological delusion could wreak havoc in Salem!
This would be my dream come true! Kristen & Nick plotting & scheming together...Sigh! I would be glued! I was dying to see them together in at least a scene last time. I know Blake said he really wanted to work with her.

Actually she wanted both. ;)

lol, Susan wasn't really a saint herself. She was perfectly happy to leave Kristen and Marlena in that secret room while she wed John.

It couldn't be that she can be polarizing, like *every other character with a fanbase* on this show. ;)

I'm Ok with ED returning for a story arc, but please... no WTD story with Brady and Eric. Those have been done to death on Days, besides the fact that Eric was raped, and I don't want to see another child of rape on the canvas anytime soon.

I hope for better things for Kristen this time around.. didn't really care for her character so much this last time, including the constant sexcapade with Brady.

I'm sure she'll come back pregnant :bs: if the baby doesn't have fetal alcohol syndrome I will be furious. Kristen was drinking constantly!
Whether fetal alcohol syndrome or from something else the baby should have some form of genetic defect. That might be a great s/l.

Yep. If you really think about it, she was a terrible person, lol. Selling children, stealing husbands, the aforementioned secret room saga, covering up Penelope's murder, trapping Kristen on the island with that creepy dude...

Are we really surprised by that poll?

People want everything happy ALL the time and hate villains.

People forget how boring this show would be with out the evil doers.
I didn't mind her in the 90s until the story became mostly about HER and her many schemes. Every week it was all about a new dilemma for Kristen to get out of. Then there were three more of her! Yeah, it is possible to tire of a villain, and it's not always because you want happiness all the time. Far far far from it.

I'm excited for Davidson's return. I'm most excited that it seems to be just for a storyline arc. I'd love to see Kristen come back and leave in the same vain as Stefano used to in the 80s and 90s. Much more effective for a character like her. Especially with the way they wrote her. Sleeping with a priest is kind of writing a character into a corner. Sure, characters are redeemd after killing other characters and doing other things that might be deemed "worse," but I think how they wrote Kristen really ruined the character from ever really becoming a grounded character with staying power.

I really hope Kristen's return is an obstacle for Eric and Nicole. I'm not interested in any kind of story with Brady. Been there. Done that. It didn't work. Not interested. Eric should've been the main target for Kristen from the beginning. Not Brady. Besides, John and Marlena can still feel the effects from Kristen if she's interfering in Eric's life. It also ties in the rest of the Bradys.

People are forgetting this is probably a short term contract return (3 to 6 months). I doubt Eileen would return if she didn't like the storyline either.

I really believe DAYS got the message loud and clear on how Jarlena was destroyed...it is why DH was let go.

I think they will get this next stint right.
Huh? How is sending DDH away realizing they destroyed J&M and that was somehow a good thing?
To clearly give the character a long rest which honestly was needed.

I am a huge Jarlena fan...but John was written so horribly out of character, that a LONG rest off screen was what I wanted to see.

Now he has been away and it puts more distance between SHITTY John and whatever he is coming back as.

Their certainly needs to be redemption and IMO the best way for the show to do that was to rest the character for a bit and then bring him back.
Whether he needed a rest is subjective, of course. To me it was just more destruction, since it was out of character for John to slouch away like a kicked dog. It's kind of hard to trust the writers to redeem him after what they did. We'll see... If he even gets any airtime.

Mostly every post has basically said this was for a short arc.
