Members DynamiteKiddo Posted May 9, 2020 Members Share Posted May 9, 2020 I just read on soaps.com that Stacy Haiduk is out as Kristen! It was reported in SOD and Stacy posted a nice Instagram. I also read spoilers on soaps.com and Soap Hub that Kristen does get the baby back and Brady convinces her to flee because of stabbing Victor. I don't know if this is the end of the road for her (for now), but I wouldn't be mad about it. I know that might seem like a cop out abrupt cheat of an ending... but on the contrary, I think it could be chilling and, to sound cheesy, poetic. Kristen has her baby, but in the least ideal way... and the real consequence from all this is that the. baby. is. just. gone. Sarah, Brady, Eric, Nicole, and Maggie will have to deal with never seeing her again because of Victor and Xander's actions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted May 9, 2020 Members Share Posted May 9, 2020 Glad she is leaving but the writing by Carlaviti continues to suck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members koos Posted May 9, 2020 Members Share Posted May 9, 2020 Go figure, they get her out just as she becomes tolerable. COME ON, EILEEN! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted May 9, 2020 Members Share Posted May 9, 2020 Oh wow, I'm surprised they're writing her off as I assumed she's the kind of character Ron loves, though I'm sure she'll be back sooner rather than later (unless Eileen would by some miracle agree to come back). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted May 9, 2020 Members Share Posted May 9, 2020 Adios! Don't let the door hit ya... (Stacy seems nice, but Kristen deserves prison, not a baby.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted May 9, 2020 Webmaster Share Posted May 9, 2020 Stacy Haiduk Departing ‘Days of our Lives,’ Eric Martsolf Previews Kristen DiMera’s Exit “[We] were working toward this reunion between our characters and their daughter,” previews Martsolf in an interview with Digest. “We thought this was going to be the banana split sundae that we were finally going to be able to enjoy. But, sure enough, because of what Kristen has done to Victor, she can’t return to Salem.” DFree/Shutterstock Speaking of his co-star’s departure, Martsolf says it’s not goodbye, but “Aloha.” He notes, “I never say goodbye to anybody. I always say, ‘Aloha,’ because we’re always destined to meet again. So it’s, ‘Until we meet again.’ Ron [Carlivati, head writer] loves that revolving door. So our goodbyes…we take them with a grain of salt.” As he should since Haiduk has something to say about her reported exit as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 9, 2020 Members Share Posted May 9, 2020 And to top it off Brady tells her to flee with child.....too dumb for words. Brady should be fighting tooth and nail to keep his child. @Errol At this point she and Chandler my Massey will return before taping begins. how far ahead is Days now? 6 months? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted May 9, 2020 Members Share Posted May 9, 2020 So the serial killer walks around Salem scot free but the one time attempted murderer has to go on the run. Will wonders never cease? Stacy really did start to grow on me in the role. I do wish she was staying, mostly just to see the story continue. Kristen will probably be back and even though Stacy grew on me all I have to say is this... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted May 9, 2020 Webmaster Share Posted May 9, 2020 Sounds about right. Honestly, while I do want the shows to go back into production as soon as possible and no one to go without any money for as long as we can prevent it, I want that DAYS schedule shot to hell as soon as they get back. The later the better for that purpose alone. Yes, it is benefiting the show during a pandemic, but come on. Eight months? Really? WOW. Only a movie should get away with that type of lead. Not a daytime soap, much less any show on television. Exception being animated, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted May 10, 2020 Members Share Posted May 10, 2020 Oh wow, I finally grew to like her as Kristen especially when she was sane. I’d still love Eileen to come back though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 10, 2020 Members Share Posted May 10, 2020 I would guess that unless it’s a very short stint or unless the show is being cancelled, Eileen won’t be coming back. For some reason, she doesn’t like playing the role for very long, and it doesn’t seem like she’s a fan of the sweatshop production model DAYS operates under (which I am sure will be a greater concern for some actors once this Covid-19 ordeal starts to thaw). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted May 11, 2020 Members Share Posted May 11, 2020 Stacy exits this week and those scenes were filmed in September 2019 She may have been filming prior to the shutdown in March 2020 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 12, 2020 Members Share Posted May 12, 2020 I think they just work her too much. Isn't she on nearly everyday when she does come back? They just drive the character into the ground and give the actor burn out for no good reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DynamiteKiddo Posted May 15, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 Eileen seemed like she hated the shooting schedule and was very dissatisfied with the pay. And I remember she said she was pissed that one actress in particular was given (very) special treatment and that production scheduled around her "availability"... everyone thought she was talking about Ali Sweeney, but I thought she could be referring to Missy Reeves, who commutes from Nashville and was heavily featured during the height of Dannifer when Eileen was on. It's a shame the working conditions keep her away... But I grew to really enjoy Stacy. I wonder if she was written out because it felt like the right move for the story, or if because tptb ultimately thought the recast wasn't working? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
