Eileen Davidson leaving The Young and the Restless!
16.11.06

According to www.soaps.com, our beloved Eileen Davidson has been let go from her current role as Ashley Abbott on The Young and the Restless.

The reason has not been provided by the show or CBS, but viewers are aware of Davidson's lack of storyline. Eileen Davidson, nominated twice for the Outstanding Lead Actress Emmy Award, has not had a decent storyline for a few years. Although Davidson brings much to her role, the role itself was disappearing and the writers' interest in Ashley has noticeably waned.  Davidson's talents were severely dissipated.  Soaps.com quotes Davidson as saying, "Ashley didn't have a center anymore."

Davidson created the role of Ashley Abbott in 1982 and left in 1988.  She established the character so well that a suitable recast proved to be impossible. Davidson pursued other roles, including Kelly Capwell on Santa Barbara and five roles on Days of Our Lives (Kristen Blake, Susan Banks, Sister Mary Moira Banks, Thomas Banks, and Penelope Kent).  Davidson returned to Young and the Restless in 1999 in a move that stunned the industry.  Rumors are flying that Davidson is set to return to Days of our Lives in one or more of the aforementioned roles.   Davidson's last airdate is reportedly January 11. We wish Eileen the best, and we know that the world's greatest actress will find another challenging role soon!

Eileen Davidson's image on Days of our Lives!

Fans of the show know that Dr. Marlena Evans and John Black are in Italy searching for Stefano DiMera. As Marlena visits the Phoenix she and viewers will be stunned to see a photo of Eileen Davidson's character! This is part of a storyline that will reveal that the current character, EJ Wells, is the son of Susan Banks and Stefano DiMera.  Needless to say, Eileen portrayed Susan (and almost everyone else on the show) during her time on Days of our Lives. This brings even more rumors that Eileen will return to Days of our Lives.  Although the show is in talks with Eileen, no confirmation of her return has been made.
