Members wingwalker Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 Wow. This makes me angry. They get rid Eileen but all the ABC soap refugees stay? I've never seen Eileen on DAYS (only Y&R and B&, but sounds like if she returned it could give DAYS a much needed shot in the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members remos Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 Not only that, but with John there they might get something a little move interesting happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 For the record, even though Davidson did her best with the million characters they gave her, I never understood the hype many Reilly era fans gave her. A lot of it was fun, but a lot was tedious and you could noticeably tell towards the end that Davidson was burnt out. Some of her facial expressions (not squarely as Susan, but as Kristen too) were hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 Well since Eileen just friended Greg Meng on facebook she is probably on her way back to DOOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members darraholic Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 Could Sony have been playing hardball to get her to return to DAYS since she's more needed there? I for one would LOVE for Kristen to return. I can do without Susan Banks. And I actually think Tomlin & Whitesell could do Kristen justice.

Members DaytimeFan Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 The thought crossed my mind as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 IA. To me, ED was better off staying at B&B (although, yes, I realize that was just a sort of "holding pin" for her so she'd be ready for another Y&R return). Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if MAB and Co. decided to send Ashley Abbott to Lake Carlton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 Y&R has wanted to marginalize and possibly eliminate the Abbott clan for some time now. With ED's news, they might just get their wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfave06 Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would prefer her as Kristen and/or Susan than Ashley at this point. They never wrote good for Ashley. They could make Susan look older since she already doesn't look the same as Kristen so the EJ age difference could work. The only thing that sucks is that Drake is an even worse actor.

Members Khan Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 Not me. I don't want her back, if only because it's doomed to fail -- and that's true no matter which character or characters she plays. Kristen, IMO, was irredeemable; and Susan's OTT campiness worked better during the JER era (and even then, I felt as if it would've played much nicer in smaller doses). If either or both came back as they were, people will complain how DAYS remains stuck in the '90s; and if they actually tone down the camp and try to imbue them with more depth, people will complain how Susan and/or Kristen just aren't as thrilling as they used to be.

Members DRW50 Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 The Abbotts have been gone a long time. Just look at the waste of oxygen known as Abby/Chompers/Kyle as the final proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 Again, Carl, IA. MAB and Co. will kill what's left of Y&R before admitting they've made mistakes all around where all these relatively new additions are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 That wouldn't work either, because she'd be even less relevant to their canvas now than when she was there. I think the time has come just to say goodbye to Ashley Abbott and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ladyceejay Posted May 9, 2012 Members Share Posted May 9, 2012 Every time this show starts getting good again, sweeps month comes along and everything goes to hell! HATE the idea of Victor and Sharon.....that alone was causing me to consider never watching Y&R again. Fireing Eileen Davidson and keeping Genie Francis insures that I will stop watching! Been watching since Day 1........ it's all over now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
