Eileen Davidson returns

She’s back, presumably with a vengeance. TV Insider can exclusively report that Emmy winner Eileen Davidson is returning to NBC’s Days of Our Lives. A rep for the soap says Davidson began filming June 5, and will be seen on-air during November sweeps. (Yes, Days shoots that far in advance!). The gig will not affect Davidson’s ongoing role as Ashley Abbott on CBS’s The Young and the Restless.

Days fans will likely assume that Davidson—also a regular on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills—will once again play that deliciously wicked whackjob Kristen DiMera, the role that brought her a Daytime Emmy in 2014. But not so fast! The Days rep tells us that “the exact role—or roles—Eileen will be playing this time around is strictly under wraps. It’s all a big surprise for the audience.”

Hmm...might that mean Davidson will be adding to her phenomenal roster of Salem characters? In addition to playing the priest-raping, embryo-snatching Kristen, she’s also been seen on Days as Kristen’s dippy doppelganger Susan Banks, as well as Susan’s three siblings—Thomas, Penelope and Sister Mary Moira.

What isn’t a surprise is that Days’ new head writer Ron Carlivati—acclaimed for his maverick work on One Life to Live and General Hospital—would want to write for a nervy, wildly versatile star like Davidson. This is a match made in Heaven…and by that we mean Hell!

Well I hope it's Kristin that she comes back as
No one ever found her body so maybe they will play on this

[André DiMera]

The interesting thing is that they don't necessarily specify that it's Kristen. In fact it almost implies that she may be playing one or more of her characters. If this is the case, I'd love to see her back as one or more of the Banks quads, particularly Thomas, as I don't recall him ever getting a good amount of screen time. Either way, happy to see she's back again!

I'm glad to see Eileen, another amazing actor, returning. I would prefer to see her as Kristen.

[doolfan4life]

According to dayscafe it will be Kristin she returns as
I hope it's true

Eileen always makes things interesting in Salem.

[Bruce]

I am so excited for her to be Back! I love her so much.

[heroicmuse]

I'm not a fan of Kristen but I am a fan of Eileen Davidson. I hope she is returning as someone other than Kristen so I can enjoy her presence.

Soap Opera News

Eileen Davidson Reprises the Role of Susan Banks!

Ever since news broke that Eileen Davidson was making a return to 'Days of Our Lives', fans were wondering which one of her alter-egos would she be reprising. Now, we can confirm that Davidson will return as Susan Banks, the mother of EJ DiMera as per the new TV Guide issue and Jason 47. The last time fans saw Davidson on the 'Days of Our Lives' she was playing the role of Kristen DiMera who met her untimely demise and the last time she made an appearance as Susan was back in 2014. It surely would be interesting to see Susan again. Susan will be tied into the story surrounding Will Horton (Chandler Massey) and Memphis and will first be seen on November 2nd

[fluffysmom]

I'm not excited about Susan Banks. A little of her goes a really long way for me.

[André DiMera]

As of the Day of Days preview, which you can see in this thread here, it looks as though Susan is not the only character Davidson will be playing. She will, in fact, be playing Susan, Kristen AND Sister Mary Moira Banks!

I am particularly excited about this! Now, all that's left is Thomas Banks and Penelope Kent, and Davidson will be playing all five of her characters! Regardless, I can't wait to see whatever brings Sister Mary Moira back!

[fluffysmom]

I don't want to see her playing four or five characters at once. Eileen playing three characters is plenty.

[fluffysmom]

I'm already tired of Susan. I hope Eileen will be portraying a different character soon.
