Y&R- Brenda Epperson WANTS to RETURN!!


Recommended Posts

I actually think ED is in it at DAYS for the long haul. She seems to be MUCH happier there than she was on Y&R and I see her staying until DAYS goes off the air. I really think the ratings are going to rise when her story catches fire again, I really do. She's done it before and she'll do it again. As I've said many times, Eileen Davidson returning to DAYS is probably the ONLY actor who can return to a soap currently and single-handedly bring the ratings up. Interest in DAYS is already up 1000% thanks to her.

As for Brenda, she WAS available the last time Eileen was fired. I discussed it with her and she had no intention of going after the job, after the way Eileen was let go. Apparently, they are friendly acquaintances in real life and Brenda wouldn't have even returned to the show then if they asked her.

It's different now.

I don't understand your felling uncomfortable with Brenda in the role, as I just don't see how that's possible. She exuded such warmth, class, and dignity as Ashley that I can't see how anyone would be "uncomfortable" with her portrayal. Maybe you're confusing her with Shari Shattuck? Either way, I could understand where Eileen fans maybe didn't want to warm up to her, but to say that her screen presence made you uncomfortable? I don't buy it and think maybe it was just a poor choice of words.

Eileen will always be the definitive Ashley but Brenda was a solid recast.

Brenda's problem (like Amelia Heinle now) is she does well in romance stories but not in business.

Eileen & Brad had a ton of chemistry which was destroyed so Smith could sacrifice Ashley (and Eileen) AGAIN for Braeden & MTS (after ruining Diane AGAIN & firing Susan Walters).

She pretty much stopped once Lyndsy's Colleen arrived.

Really? I just don't ever remember Brenda's Ashley wearing glasses in the lab- are you sure? Maybe she wasn't annoying with them like Eileen was, constantly taking them on and off and fooling with them.

The other thing that always bothered me (and still does) was Eileen's Ashley calling Jack "Jacky." I don't remember Brenda or Shari ever doing that. Did Eileen do that in her 1st run? It's annoying as all get out. It makes Ashley sound like Jack's older sister but she's not right? I always thought Jack was the oldest, then Ashley, then Traci was the baby until Billy was born. Am I wrong on that one too DeeeDee?

Yep.

She didn't wear them often but she definitely wore them.

Eileen's Ashley didn't call Jack Jacky until her second run.

While Eileen's Ashley is younger than Jack they were written more as equals.

Brenda's Ashley & especially Shari's were more like little sisters to Jack.

Brenda's Ashley had a more difficult relationship with Traci than Eileen's Ashley ever had.

Nope you're right.

The Abbott siblings order is indeed Jack, Ashley, Traci & then Billy.

Yeah, I sort of remember that now. But Eileen was constantly taking them on & off. Couldn't STAND it!

They need to drop it- I remember it drove me NUTS in the beginning and still does when she does (did) it. It's just such a dumb pet name for him and so un-Ashley like. Who knows why Eileen brought that into the dialogue when she took over.

Yes and I LOVED that. It made so much sense- Ashley could never suffer Traci's constant whining and feeling sorry for herself at the time. Plus, let's face it, Ashley clearly wanted Brad and vice versa and I'm sure that made Traci's blood boil. I miss them having a bit of a rivalry.

The link to this thread has been posted to Brenda's page and I bet she's reading this and getting a kick out of it.

Can we all start tweeting these people please? Anybody have any good ideas for hashtags we can use?
