BREAKING NEWS: Eileen Davidson Let-Go at Y&R! But Is She On Her Way Back to DAYS?

Courtesy/CBS

Courtesy/CBS

Oh no!  What is happening to daytime?  Now, another  of our colleagues has lost their gig!  This time its Eileen Davidson (Ashley) of The Young and the Restless!  The actress took to Twitter this morning to confirm the news that began circulating over the last few days, and also earlier today from Daytime Confidential,  that she had been shown the front door at the number one soap.

Eileen tweeted, “Change is in the air, people!  Last week I lost my childcare.  This week I lost my job! It all works out because I don’t need a babysitter if I’m not working.#beingpositive”

In an updated tweet on May 12th, the actress stated, “It’s official.  I’ve been let go at Y&R. Not really sure exactly why. But in the big picture,  I guess it doesn’t really matter.”

However, there may be good news for her on the horizon!  Soap Opera Digest is now reporting that Davidson may be being lured back to Days of our Lives to play either Kristen Blake or Susan Banks!  The roles she made famous from 1993-1998!

If fans recall, Davidson was also let go at Y&R once before, back in 2006, and then given new life by Y&R’s  sister soap, The Bold and the Beautiful, only to eventually land back in Genoa City.  With Tucker sleeping with Harmony on recent air shows and all the other issues plaguing the character now, it looks as though this was all in the cards.

What do you think of Eileen’s firing?  Will you miss her as Ashley?  Would you be into Eileen back on DAYS as Susan or Kristen? Let us know!

How do soap stars just get fired? Anyway hopefully she goes to days, they need all the help they can get even though they do have a wonderful cast . Eileen davidson is a keeper.

According to Michelle Stafford in her Twitter to Michael Fairman, she was “let go.” Same thing. Like the scene from MR. MOM – “technically furloughed.”

Anyway, contracts, contracts, contracts. They have clauses in them and either side can part ways.

You are right Christine every contract can change after 26 weeks no matter how many years they put down. MTS had a contract last year which she got paid so much for each episode she had ran out her term so therefore for 6 months she was waiting to start a new cycle or change it I do not know what this current one is. This is per Lynda Hirsch’s column last year and she usually has the scoop.

I am talking about the soap stars (TH E CAST) not the idiots who are firing them. Hello the cast are the people that are on the soaps not behind the scenes, whatever.

Without a doubt I would rather see her on Y&R? than on Days. I was a hugh Days of our Lives fan until the storyline got so crazy. I have watched Y&R since 1974. I love Ashley and feel that her role on Y & R was very important. She does a great job of portraying a smart, successful CEO. We want her back!!

Jules

I hate that she was fired, but I can’t help but feel a little giddy at the prospect of her returning to DAYS. The canvas is WAITING for her!!! I SOOOooo want to see her interaction with EJ/James Scott!!! EJ needs his mother and James and Eileen would be great co-stars.

I remember her vaguely on Days but she will always be Ashley to me and the Abbott family needs her I was hoping they would bring Tracy back permantley they needed a touch stone since LML killed off John. I just called my sister and she said the one classy lady on the soap and she is gone she said she has been so fed up maybe it is time to stop watching. Good Luck Eileen!!!

Is Maria Arena Bell out of her mind? Davidson has intermittently been on Y&R for almost 30 years.

Very bad decision on the part of Y&R and I hope that their ratings dropped below the 4 million viewers bar because of this.

I have read all over people blasting MAB for Sony not reaching an agreement with ED. I remember reading what MTS wrote re: Sony and she praised MAB basically stating that MAB and Sony are not the same. I hope this is true. As much as I am so very disappointed in MAB’s decisions regarding Y&R, I am under the impression that she has no control over Sony. I think she will have to deal with this fall-out from Sony too.

I think Sony wants Y&R cancelled, but that’s just my opinion.

I don’t know if Eileen Davidson has the kind of rabid fan base that Melody Thomas Scott has, but maybe she can get her job back via Twitter like Melody did. That being said. I worked in the legal department at Sony for three years before leaving to raise my family. It was a GREAT company to work for – very family oriented (at least when you were basically just a pion like myself). And THAT being said. It is a business and they are there to make money.

Rah rah rah Sony. I also recall how disrespectful they were to Eric Braeden. I am here as a fan of soaps, not Sony. To each his own. It all just smacks of what I read about Brian Fons and how he ruined one of the ABC soaps as a prelude to getting it cancelled. I have only ever watched CBS soaps. If Days fans are happy that ED may be going back – great. I know Stephen Nichols has nothing to do with ED contract negotiations but Tucker’s new character has everything to do with his wife Ashley, a… Read more »

i can’t help but commiserate.. about the state of soaps… “our stories”… with underrated… top shelf actors.. we’ve watched… like every day… for our whole lives… SONY… PLEASE, RE-HIRE, BO AND KRISTEN/SUSAN. It’s like the passing of Alice Horton… I just want what’s familiar.

It’s a really sad thing nowadays that soaps are firing the veterans/fan favorites but keeping the newer characters nobody cares about. For example, Y&R fires Eileen Davidson and yet the actress playing Daisy still has a job.

B&B eliminated Brandon Beemer and the Marone family and yet Kim Matula, Scott Clifton, and Jacqueline Woods are all still employed (I mean no offense to the actors).

Days did the same thing recently so there’s no need to go into that.

And General Hospital has been doing this type of thing for so long I wouldn’t know where to start.

David
Guest

I have watched ED for years on Y&R. As of late, her role has diminished; they could have wrote something for her. But not too much storylines for the other veterans from AMC and DOOL. Sorry to see her go but if she could come back like the actresss who plays Tracey, it would be better than nothing at all. Hopefully, she will go to another show. And they keep all the younger actors and actresess because they are cheaper!

I told you people MAB is now called Conan The Destroyer! It has to be MAB because Sony runs Days also right? Sharon Case if you are indeed tweeting about how you hate this story with Erc Braeden stop or you will be out of a job too. No other explanation except they really are mentally ill at Y&R. Eileen Davidson is one of the sweetest gals I know and I have never heard her complain or anything or try to throw her weight around. Mr. Fairman get an interview please with this lovely lady.

Eileen Davidson and Ashley Abbott are not the actor and character that should leave Genoa City. I was hoping for a stronger more stable Abbott family presence toi counter the Newmans. (I have been hoping that for a long time, patient through the silliness that was Adam torment of Ashley during her marriage to Victor.)

Why is it anymore than backstage machinations of our beloved genre seem to steal focus or do harm to the most important global goal of creating entertaining and engaging drama day to day?

I am done with this show. Eileen Davidson is a keeper and they totally destroyed the. Character. Under Bill Bell, Ashley was sexy and strong. Under this management. She’s become needy and naïve. MAB and crew have done this to most of the Y & R females. I love soaps and I want them to succeed. But, the stories and the production decisions do not make sense. Ms. Davidson, you are a talented beauty and I am sure another show will snatch you up.

And God forbid they want to change things up and have someone come between Cane and Lilly. But I would LOVE for Days to bring her back as Kristen and Susan again! She was going to be on there years ago for like 5 episodes as Susan. And now would be the best time for Days to have Kristen and Susan back on.

Don’t know what is going on at Y&R, but they’re bass ackwards. I would love for Eileen to come on Days as Kristen, Susan, whoever! Especially now that EJ is grown. And maybe she can tell EJ that he really is a Dimera.

Of course, going by Stefano’s blood ties credos, he wouldn’t give the time of day to Kristen or Peter.

DAYS is so hurting right now, especially for female villains (Gabi is a joke and Nicole seems to have lost her edge) I know as a longtime fan, I would LOVE to see Kristen Blake DiMera back in Salem. She and Marlena and Stefano were the reasons I got hooked on DAYS in the first place. I think it would be a grave mistake for DAYS not to snatch her up now that they have the chance to. Make it happen, DAYS! We’ve been waiting a long time!!!

As much as I love the genre, I cant support this show any longer.

Daisy, Harmony, Ricky, Eden, NuKyle, Avery and Tucker…just a few that should be let go before they get rid of a legacy character like Ashley.

I stopped watching B&B because it became all about Liam and the twi idiots chasing after him and now Im done with this.

Maybe MAB is going the way of Ellen Wheeler and Chris Goutman, slowly and methodically dismantling this soap piece by piece.

it is hard to believe that Daisy is STILL on the show and yet a legacy character such as Ashley is gone. The sibling dynamic between Jack and Ashley is one of the best on daytime, so real and believable. The Abbots are getting fewer in number while the Newmans are growing. Phylllis’s little bundle of joy and the ghastly prospect of Shaon once again becoming Mrs. Victor Newman. Excuse me as I cringe.

Yes I agree with you. The scenes of Jack&Ashley are pure magic 🙂 I still can’t believe that Ashley is going away and I pray that they won’t recast her ’cause Eileen Davidson is THE Ashley Abbott!!!!

I believe Ashley’s character was let go in order to pay for Danny and Christine’s return which is nuts. Ms. Marie Bell, if you really want Y & R ratings to go through the roof, get rid of Daisy, Daniel, Ricky and Tucker and hire a real actress, Ms Susan Lucci! Erica Kane needs to move to Genoa City! She would bring style and class!

This is ridiculous. Ashley is a legacy character, and Eileen is the one and only Ashley. I’m so sick of MAB. SHE is the one who needs to be shown the door. We do not want Genie Francis, Debbie Morgan, Daisy Duke or Grace Under Fire. We want our Y&R back!

It’s obvious that everyone LOVES Eileen Davidson and feels so passionate about this, but it’s only temporary, folks! Y&R is keenly aware of their legacy characters and you can be sure Eileen will be back at some point. The return of Danny and Christine (and so many others before them) is proof. Eileen is one of the most recognizable and talented actors in daytime and her portrayal of Ashley Abbott is the stuff of soap opera LEGEND!

Iakovos
Guest
Iakovos

I hope you are correct, kalamaty. What do you think about all this need to pair off characters and give them only stories revolving around romance? I remain upset about Ashley’s descent into stupidity (the Victor marriage and Adam torment), and any sharon Newman hook-up. Give these women exciting storylines about discovering new purpose in their lives, use of their money to help a cause, try something new with their careers other that cosmetics. If marriage is so sacred to the general public then why is treated so badly on daytime dramas?

I have been trying to support this show and watching it again after years of being away. Her character Ashley will be missed as will Eileen. I wish they would take others in her place like the horrible new Kyle and Ricky and Daisy! The actor playing Kyle is so bad it is painful to have to watch his scenes! I hope Eileen does go to DOOL so she is working as she is very talented. Much more talented tha the younger ground currently hitting GC.

In truth, they haven’t given Ashley much in the way of story for a while so I am not shocked. I was sorry that a few years ago they backed out of the coupling of Ashley & Neil. They started it and suddenly slammed on the breaks. Y&R does have too large a cast to have constant story for every character. I don’t know how many of he actors are or would be willing to go on recurring instead of contract basis but, it might be better so they could orbit them in & out of story.

There are at least half a dozen characters that could be written off the canvas without touching the core Abbott family, and no one would miss them. I am quickly losing interest in Y & R. I really did not care that Tucker and Harmony ended up in bed, What I cared about was watching Ashley come unglued at the sight. Remember friends, Ashley has a history of mental illness.

I truly discovered Eileen Davidson on DAYS when she played a dual role: Kristen/Susan. I was in awe of her tremendous talent. I also liked her as Ashley on
Y & R but I always felt that she was being wasted as actress. Maybe it was the way she was written or not written at all. But Y & R never used her full potential. What a pity!
If DAYS were smart, they would hire her NOW A.S.A.P.

Ever since Don Diamont was shown the door, NO veteran actor has been safe at Y&R. The cast just keeps ballooning and the show keeps growing worse. Seriously, scrounge up an episode of the show from, oh, 1993 online and look at how amazingly well-plotted and written it was. Family and friends actually interacted! The storylines were compelling and the acting wonderful. Now the show can only coast on that former glory as the Abbott family is further decimated. Eventually, I will have no reasons left to watch daytime television 🙁

I can’t believe they let Eileen go. Total bull that they couldn’t find storyline for her. Tucker and Ashley were a great couple. IMO one of the best pairings in the last 3 years on the show and there is plenty of story to be told if the writers had the brains to do so.

OLTL Alum Tuc Watkins Opens Up On His Sobriety and the Importance of Camaraderie

He made his mark to soap opera fans as David Vickers on One Life to Live (1994-1996, 2001-2013) and as Bob on Desperate Housewives (2007-2012), since then Tuc Watkins has been featured and starred in numerous television, motion pictures and stage roles.

Most recently, Watkins starred opposite Neil Patrick Harris in the Netflix streaming series Uncoupled, the film and stage adaptation of Boys in the Band, and recently on stage in the AIDS-based drama, The Inheritance.

Tuc, who came out on The Marie Osmond Show back in 2013, is the father of twins via surrogacy, and is currently in a relationship with film, TV and stage actor, Andrew Rannells.  Earlier in his career, many warned Watkins that it could be detrimental to him, if he played gay roles.  However, in the years that have followed, Tuc has proved them wrong taking on some of the most prominent LGBTQ roles out there and earning critical praise for his performances.

A few months ago, in March, Tuc took to his Instagram account to share a before and after photo of him 4 years before he got sober, and 4 years after he got sober with a heartfelt and inspiring message.

Watkins expressed: “If your drinking is making you uncomfortable, tell a sober person. Any sober person. That’s what I did. I don’t remember what I said to him that day. And I don’t remember what he said to me. But I remember the way he made me feel. He made me feel like I was going to be okay. It was the last day I drank. October 28, 2018. I got sober because alcohol was ruining my life. I stay sober because my life got better. #sobriety #recovery”

A post shared by Tuc Watkins (@tucwatkins)

In a new article on Watkins from Queerty, EastSiders creator and star, Kit Williamson delivered a statement to the LGBTQ outlet about his experience working with Tuc and his consistent support for other gay artists.

Photo: ABC

Kit shared: “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tuc three times now. On the third season of EastSiders, my new series Unconventional, and the indie film Retake. Tuc is a star in the literal sense of the word, shining light on and lifting up the people around him, and he is as talented and funny as he is dashing and kind.  I was a fan of his before I became a friend, and I have seen firsthand how committed he is to supporting other queer artists and making art that matters.”

Kelly Clarkson Opens Up on Moving Her Talk Show to New York City: “It’s Either I’m Not Going to be Able to Continue the Show or I Gotta Go East Coast”

Kelly Clarkson told producers of her daytime talk show back in January that she has to head to the east coast starting in the fall, or there wouldn’t be any show to come back to.

In an interview promoting her upcoming new album Chemistry, Clarkson spoke to Nancy O’Dell for the TalkShopLive series.

During the conversation she shared a few more details on what led to this move.  Kelly shared how she spoke to the execs at her show and at NBC, relating, ‘Guys, I need you to know what’s happening. It’s either I’m not going to be able to continue the show or I gotta go East Coast.”

Elaborating further, the Grammy Award-winning singer shared: “Covid, pointed out (that) being isolated and so far from your family, that’s not good for anyone.  My family is East Coast, they’re North Carolina based. So, it was one of those things where I just had to … and also there was a lot of personal things going on, too.”  Those personal things include her recent divorce from Brandon Blackstock back in the summer of 2022, raising her kids and more.

Kelly went on to say that the move to the Big Apple was all her idea, citing, “It as 100 percent my idea and it was really cool that NBC backed me because I was like, ‘Y’all, I love doing this show. I really do. I didn’t even know I would but I gotta make a change for me and my family. Any chance we could do this? I know we can’t do this from my ranch so any chance we could do it in New York … it’s at least closer to my family … that was really the main reason.”

During the chat with O’Dell, Clarkson admitted she is not really into pursuing motion picture and TV roles in Los Angeles anyway, but she does enjoy the stage and when in New York she is closer to the theatre. The Daytime Emmy Award winner also noted that she is working on various other projects.  Might we see Kelly on Broadway in 2024 or 2025? Stay tuned.

Clarkson’s show recently came under fire earlier this month when former and current employees claimed that it fosters a toxic work environment, something Kelly pledges she will make sure in the future that people that work for her show won’t ever feel that way again.

The talk show host addressed the allegations a few weeks ago, and noted changes are coming behind the scenes.  Kelly expressed, “Part of that build will include leadership training for all of the senior staff, including myself. There is always room to grow and ensure we are all being/becoming the best versions of ourselves in any business, especially when it comes to leadership. To ensure that any notion of toxicity is eradicated.”

So, what do you think about Kelly’s move to New York to be closer to her family, Broadway and more? Will the show have a different feel to it next season? Comment below.
