Ugh. I hate Kristen, so it's not good news from where I sit. I hope it's short term. I was hoping she'd go back to Y&R instead so that Ashley could rescue Stitch from his apparent Victoria fate. |

I would try to give this a real answer, but I don't know what kind of dumb excuse the show would use. Maybe Eric won't press charges because of her possible pregnancy/baby. Only good guys and innocent people go to prison. |

For me a pregnant Kristen return sl will destroy most of the fun I unexpectedly had watching Days for the last couple of weeks. I hope Days don't go back to this kind of nonsense! |

Ugh! Well ****! We've not even gotten to see John back on screen yet. Not that I had much faith to begin with, but with these writers and this casting there's no way he comes back anything but an out of character moronic a**hole. I swear I hate this show ten times more often than I can even tolerate it, much less love it. |

So what you're saying is that she told Michael Logan the truth that she didn't like the schedule and workload, but the whole time she knew that she'd have to come back to the exact same schedule and workload a few months later? Ok. What I think is that she hated the schedule, Days said take whatever time you need to 'detox', they called her a few months later and said what can we do to get you back, and they made an offer which included either stacking the episodes like they do with Ali (ie giving the actor their own 'off time' by doing all of their scenes on certain days), or fewer workdays in general. (2 days airing a week vs. 3 or 4). We are also not factoring in Y&R. She may have thought that she had a shot at another permanent role there, but it might not have been available. That in combination with the Days offer might have made things look different to her. |

I LOVE THIS :rockon: :cheer: And god NO to her returning to Y&R. That show has treated her like dirt for the past two decades. I don't want Eileen wasted on listening to Abby's sex life and nagging Jack. At least DAYS has always treated her like the Queen she is. |

Nothing in her s/l with Brady interests me. In fact I just don't like Kristen and her over the top character. It will be really disappointing (not to mention disgusting) if she comes back pregnant with Eric's baby (or even illusion v reality s/l involving Eric). |

Nope. Not what I'm saying. She just doesn't have the same kind of schedule as AS so no matter her issue with the way they filmed, accommodations for her would be different than accommodations for AS. Meanwhile, I think it's just like it always is with her lately. She likes to do the show but she doesn't like to be tied down to it for too long. I'm not thinking she's lying about anything and I don't think there's any cause to go searching for a conspiracy in this since we've been guessing from the day we found out she left that she'd be back on pretty much this exact same time table. |

I think there's a lot of factors here and there isn't going to be one underlying reason. Eileen likely promised Days that if she were available she would come back for these little Stefano-esque arcs. But her goal was probably to take some time off then get a contract on Y&R. They seemed to be building up Ashley/Stitch, but when Billy Miller was officially out that could have changed everything. Now they're chem testing Victoria with Stitch (Ashley's potential love interest) because David Tom/Amelia Heinle might not work out as well as Billy Miller/Amelia Heinle did. I expect Kristen to get a good amount of airtime, but I don't think it will be anything like her last time around. Days knows that she doesn't want to be worked to death, but they could have made her an offer she just couldn't refuse, coupled with Y&R going in a totally different directions due to other circumstances. I don't think she lied at all when she said it in that interview, but it doesn't mean its still the case. Alison's exit opened up a lot of options for Days and if Kristen is only around 3-4 months I can't wait to see what else they do with all of that money/time. |

ITA with everything there's so many other people I'd rather see return first I was so looking forward to all the new things 2014 was going to bring to days in hopes that they'd finally move forward and it feels like we just took 10 giant steps back.... I don't want to see round 10 of the Bristen/Eric... that was the whole reason I stopped watching last year |

Yes!! Talk about getting major positive news these past couple of weeks. I truly thought Eileen was done with Days and would be heading back to Genoa City full-time. Whatever the story is of her coming back, I am thrilled! Kristen is definitely a character who could benefit from Stefano-esque arcs. |

This is great news. I'm conflicted about the pregnancy angle. While it's almost to be expected, I mean, why else would she return other than to have baby in tow to taunt both Brady and Eric, I hate the thought of a domestic Kristin and, just as much, I hate the thought of Kristin passing her baby off to "Mary" and only dragging him or her out when it suits her needs (ie taunting Brady, Eric, Marlena, Roman and John, and for that matter, Victor). So if she starts filming in May, at the current filming pace, we won't see her until September or October. Given that there were scenes after the "rape" suggesting pregnancy, my guess is she doesn't come back pregnant but rather has already given birth. Can't wait to see/hear Victor's response. |
