Y&R: Eileen Davidson Speaks Out


Recommended Posts

Is this Lexie as of Lexie and Abe? I liked her whenever Days held my interest. Maybe Y&R should pick her up as an Olivia recast!

As for Ashley, why couldn't Y&R just have her character go to Victor and get his consent before impregnating herself. That single action ruined the character. Eileen should have dumped Y&R years ago because the writing has been on the wall for a long time.

I'm very sad about this because ED's return in late 90s, got me back to being a regular viewer -- except during the you-know-what storyline. Something tells me that ED firing may have to do with her salary. Let's face it, they resigned the fab Jess Walton this year -- I'm sure she wasn't cheap. (The show has a number of serious veterans, which is good.) However, it's just not sustainable. Unfortunately, someone had to go. Let's look at the list of vet characters played by veteran actors: Victor, Nikki, Jack, Neil, Dru, Kay, Jill, Brad, Phyllis, Michael, Paul, Nick, Sharon and Lauren (even though she's not on contract). The only character that could've been swapped with Ashley would be Brad. Frankly, I'd rather see Brad, Victoria and Colleen, than another Victor/Ashley/Nikki retread.

Ashley hadn't had a real good storyline in years. Even LML picked up where Alden and Smith left off and made Ashley sort of an afterthought rather than a complete character on the Y&R canvas. ED is a fine actress without question. It shall be anyone's gain to get her.

There is great speculation of course that ED is headed for DAYS. But her saying that she wants to spend more time with her children carries a lot of weight to it. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes her time to explore her options.

    • Watch and form your own point of view; even in its flaws, this soap is soaping.
    • The show is excellent in my opinion.  There are a couple of less-than-stellar actors and a couple of bad storylines, but otherwise it's awesome and I watch many of the episodes twice.  However, episode #55 from May 19 was really bad, which is where you popped into the thread, but it was the *first* really bad episode.  So 54 great episodes out of a total of 55 episodes is pretty good, in my opinion!  I haven't seen today (#56) yet, but I hear it's good.  Will watch in a couple of hours.
    • LOL!  Yes, very much so.  Better episode today than yesterday. TMG really is a gift.
    • Hopeful that Tracy can prove her innocence

    • I remember this being in the soap press at the time, they were going to be focused on rebuilding the Bauers, Reardons and Spauldings..and we saw they kind of just created a new Reardon (Chelsea when Nola was always supposed to be the youngest) a new Bauer with an offshoot of the main family,(Johnny) so I am sure they were going to do the same with Alan. New writers may have changed all that..(Long later brought  back Amanda for the Christmas episodes...leading into Alex/Phillip dethroning Alan.) I thought Poser should play an different character then Amanda...maybe an adopted daughter. We know Alan had a woman who he lived with in San Rios, they could have had her die and to pay her back for saving his life he adopts her daughter and trains her in all the ways to be a Spaulding. He pays a debt and he has a secret weapon to unleash on the family when he needed to so he keeps in his back pocket.

      date: Tuesday, May 20 | Ron Carlivati, Cheryl L. Davis | Shelley Curtis Pack up your crap, Derek. And take that hideous chair with you, but don't throw out the food! We know you have a particular habit of doing that. Anita being nervous about Tracey's arrival is cute, and I love that Vernon joined her. I'm just hoping Sharon will join them soon. Tomas and Eva keep getting ... teased! I appreciate him filling her in on what happened with Dana and Katherine. Dana, what in the world are you working at?! If I saw you with your evil smiles in my hospital room as I woke up, I'd be questioning what nightmare I was existing within. I appreciate the continued evolution of Tomas' backstory and where he's come from. It sounds familiar to what I've heard from others, so it's nice that true history can be nodded to. Derek, there is no way in Hell Jacob and/or Naomi want your stank-gross behind crashing on their couch. Katherine better be careful; she keeps intercepting Dana at all of these places, and if she is not careful, she may become the primary target of her plans. Dante Greene? Is he the Barry Gordy Jnr of the story? I appreciate that Tracy has some genuine feelings towards Anita and their past history. But I appreciate that she is at least open-minded to reuniting with Anita on a personal basis; it'll be interesting to see how Sharon reacts when she arrives (I am guessing). Not the wig washing. Dana's personalities and wigs must be an ongoing gag. But good on Eva for calling her out about being falsely accused of running Laura off of the road. I've said it once, and I will say it again: Katherine should be a detective, because her instincts are sharper than sharp. Notes: Can we stop having the male actors on this show sitting on tables? It's such a pet peeve of mine. Like, chairs exist for your backside to sit on, not tables where we EAT! The top they have Tamara Tunie (Anita) in would annoy the frick out of me if that flower kept hitting me in my chin. I'd be pulling that crap off immediately.

    • And you know I make it very clear what works and doesn’t work for me
