Eileen Davidson returning to ‘Days’

Bo Brady might be on his way out of Salem, but guess who’s back?
Kristen Blake — the adopted daughter of Stefano DiMera — and Susan Banks!
Davidson, who last appeared on “Days” in 1998, said she is “thrilled” to be returning to Salem, saying she was “excited to revisit Kristen and who knows who else!”
Among the characters Davidson has played on “Days” includes Kristen Blake, Susan Banks, Sister Mary Moira Banks, Thomas Banks and Penelope Kent.
Ahhh, remember those days?
Along with her popularity on “Days,” Davidson originated “The Young and the Restless” role of Ashley Abbott — a role she began in 1982. She was fired from “Y&R” last month after a roughly four-year stint.
Apparently, the folks at Sony Pictures (distributor of both “Days” and “Y&R”) wanted her on both soaps simultaneously. But “Y&R” writers said no, so Sony terminated her “Y&R” contract and shifted her to “Days.”
This is definitely not a good move. It is a mistake. Eileen Davidson looks like a man in drag, and has no talent or screen appeal. It is as hard to look at her and watch her act as it is to watch Lisa Rinna. They need to reverse this decision and not even start filming with her.
VERY BEAUTIFUL AND EXTREMELY TALENTED ACTRESS. HER RETURN TO DAYS OF OUR LIVES IS THE BEST NEWS EVER, AFTER SO MANY YEARS. SHE HAS DONE WHAT NO ACTRESS IN THE HISTORY OF SOAPS COULD HAVE DONE WITH HER MULTIPLE ROLES ON DAYS. SHE IS TRUELY A LENGEND IN DAYTIME TV. LOVE HER AS ASHLEY, AND LOVE HER MORE AS KRISTIN.
