Eileen Davidson Appreciation Thread

[KLN]

LoL, I remember Kristen's eyerolling and scoffing whenever she and Stefano were watching Sami work her devious magic on a hidden video camera, and Stefano was applauding Sami's ability to hold onto her man, which served as just another reminder to Kristen that she had lost hers. She even threatened to expose Sami herself, LoL.

i do think Eileen should go back to DAYS as Kristen.

The writing for Ashley is so unbelievably bad, she deserves so much more! I want some Eileen/Kimberlin Brown face off, now that would be amazing, but i doubt Smith is smart enough to follow through.

COME BACK KRISTEN! Id watch DAYS again in a heartbeat, even though i dropped the soap like a paper weight after the Island crap. I always watched DAYS for entertainment, nothing more, i watch the other soaps cause i find the characters fascinating. But DAYS takes characters to such a campy extreme, its delicious fun and makes you feel great!

Days is still the biggest piece of garbage on TV in my opinion. I'm not sure I'd wish that crap on someone as talented as Eileen. She's smart to stay right where she is.

Eileen! Can't believe she got lost in the shuffle. I'm so enjoying Ashley these days and Eileen's portrayal of her. The Tom/Ashley scenes are completely enjoyable, but I can't wait until Tom exposes her for the backstabber she is. Both Roscoe and Eileen should be great!

[SuperFlyChad]

The upcoming days on Y&R should be good for ED! Peter Bergman is quoted saying that Eileen is one of the most underrated actresses and sexiest women over 35 which ICAM on both counts.

Been watching Y&R the last few days. I've been able to be reminded first hand how great an actress Eileen is.

I can't wait to see the Ashley/Tom scenes now that Tom knows the truth. There is going to be a bigger awkwardness to them now. I'm loving ED in this story, any story with Ashley NOT opposite Victor is always superb!

[razor32always]

Eileen is doing such a great job with this storyline. I'm loving her chemistry with Roscoe Born, but she and Paul are HOT together.

She's one of those rare actresses that easily has chemstry with almost everyone she's opposite.

When I read the subtitle for this thread, I thought it said "multi-faceted." When I realized what it actually said, I thought... well, that works too!

[Annabelle]

She's amazing! Ashley annoys me most of the time, and Ashley's suppose to be annoying, so that's good. Plus, ED was fabulous on Days. She can play the part of, evil, simple, sweet, sexy, tender, bold, and crazy with such ease.

[razor32always]

Eileen's great. I can't wait to see the fallout from this Tom story. I'm sure she'll give 100% and be great.

For those of you who missed out on Eileen Davidson's most entertaining role of her career...

Who remembers this fabulous scene with Kristen (yay Eileen!) and Marlena from Days? Deidre Hall and Eileen Davidson in all their wonderful, rivalrous glory.

Kristen vs. Marlena

Here's a transcript.

It's the day of Susan and Kristen's custody hearing for the baby. Kristen is late.

Kristen enters the empty courtroom. She sees the judge's chair turned with its back to her.

KRISTEN: I'm Kristen Blake, I am so sorry for being late for the hearing. I hope I haven't kept you waiting for too long.

The chair turns around. It's Marlena.

Kristen is shocked.

KRISTEN: So, what, my hearing's been postponed?

MARLENA: No. Your hearing is over.

KRISTEN: That's ridiculous. I just got here.

Marlena gets out of the chair and walks towards Kristen.

[KLN]

Continued...

MARLENA: No, no. You got here earlier today. You spoke to the judge. You told him you'd changed your mind, and you wanted Susan to have sole custody of Elvis. And in fact, that custody agreement that you had tricked her into signing... was declared null and void.

KRISTEN: What the hell are you talking about? I haven't been here to say anything, Marlena, nothing!

Kristen has a realization, as a look of horror overcomes her face.

KRISTEN: Oh, my God. Oh my God, Susan impersonated me. Oh my God.

Marlena smiles.

KRISTEN: You had no right to take John from me, and you had no right to take my baby from me!

MARLENA: That's not your baby. That's Susan's baby! And you lost all when he (John) discovered all your lies. You've brought this on yourself!

Kristen tries to hit Marlena, but Marlena blocks her.

MARLENA: Lash out all you want. It won't change anything! Elvis is where he belongs -- with his birth mother.

KRISTEN: I have more right to that baby than anybody, you !@#$%^&*]!

Kristen tries to attack Marlena, but Marlena shoves her back into the chair.

And finally...

KRISTEN: Get off me!

MARLENA: You've LOST! Accept that, you've lost!

KRISTEN: I will never give up on my baby, Marlena! I will never give up!

MARLENA: You will never see that baby again -- or its mother! Happy New Year.

Marlena turns and walks out of the room.

Furious, Kristen rants to herself.

KRISTEN: You're gonna be sorry. You are gonna be so sorry. You are gonna be so sorry!

Kristen hurls her baby bag at the door.
