Members Soapsuds Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 I did fast forward all the fake Kristen scenes. She's never been Kristen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 I've been clamoring for Kristen to go away for an extended break, so of course the show gives me two Kristens instead AND freaking Susan.

Members Vee Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 Showing two Kristens in one episode is completely ridiculous. Full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members David_Vickers Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 Stupid as hell having 2 Kristens, If you're NOT going to bring Eileen Davidson back as the real Kristen, do not bring her on at all DAYS. They should've just had Stacy Haiduk do the scenes with John & Marlena, if they're not getting rid of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthernChick Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 No way. The chemistry is with Eileen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 Agree with it being stupid to have 2 Kristens. Disagree about having SH doing the scenes with J&M. That would have had 0 weight without Eileen. SH has no history, chemistry, or gravity with the DH's. The scenes were the best part of the day. The only solution would be to dump SH and let ED appear when she wants. Eileen is not the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 It all depends on what ED wants. If they can work with Sweeney and Victoria for the awful Ben pairing.....why not with ED? Fire SH or have her play Susan only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Exactly. I think Haiduk is very talented and has been poorly used, but anyone who thinks the weak link in this equation is Eileen vs. the writing, the show or the recast is delusional. If they can make it work with Ali or people like Victoria Konefal or various other people going in and out, they can use Eileen as Kristen on a recurring basis. It's all she needs anyway. Kristen on a long-term contract burns out of story fast. Edited November 16, 2021 by Vee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 Agree. I think it's worth letting AS come in and out because Sami does breathe life into the show. And her in and out appearances (while poorly timed recently) work for me. All Sami all the time is too much, but breaks work for her. Someone like VK making out with Ben isn't worth working around, but it seems like she is back now on a more full time basis. ED's schedule might be a problem. But Kristen is the perfect in and out big bad like Stefano. SH is fine and I am sad she would lose her job, but she isn't working, Susan isn't really necessary, and Brady/Kristen aren't a viable thing, so let it go and have her torment John/Marlena/Brady and call it a day. I know RC was trying to be cheeky or clever with the 2 Kristens, but it just made it so glaring what was missing with SH's Kristen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 Stacy Haiduk is no longer working as Kristin or Susan. Both of her characters have seen lousy writing, and SH hasn’t made that writing any easier to take. In fact, I think she made the bad writing more apparent. The actress who works as Kristin and Susan is Eileen Davidson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 Someone tell me how this 25 year old effect of Marlena morphing into Kristen is better than the Susan/Kristen effect from the other day. Sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 Their budget probably being 500 times higher back then must have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members David_Vickers Posted November 17, 2021 Members Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Agree, didn't want it to seem I prefer Stacy Haiduk over Eileen Davidson, I don't. They should just bring on Eileen as Kristen and maybe Susan too. Or let Stacy play Susan. Edited November 17, 2021 by David_Vickers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 17, 2021 Members Share Posted November 17, 2021 Once again Beyond Salem news and it's a ghost town in this thread Please register in order to view this content I haven't watched today's show but the only thing entertaining about the show right now is ED.

Members carolineg Posted November 17, 2021 Members Share Posted November 17, 2021 Gotcha. I don't think anyone needs to play Susan because she's wholly annoying and her only good tie is to EJ and DF and SH look the same age and don't interact. It's a weird situation where you want to reward SH for trying and being available but she so totally lacks the chops for Kristen. MarDevil telling Chanel Paulina was Lani's mom was entertaining.
