She’s every-where! And that’s a good thing! Daytime Emmy winner Eileen Davidson who is currently being seen as Ashley Abbott on The Young and the Restless, and will debut tomorrow night as one of the newest cast members of the hit reality series franchise The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is also back taping new episodes as of this past Friday as Kristen DiMera on Days of our Lives!
On-Air On-Soaps had to keep the news hush-hush during our most recent interview with the beautiful and talented star, but Eileen was slated back to DAYS this November for her next story stint, which will air sometime in the early Spring of 2015, since DAYS tapes so many months ahead. As to how brief, or how long Eileen’s return actually is has yet to be divulged.
And in story, what a return it could potentially be! Seems like Kristen would come back preggars, or even with child, wouldn’t it? After all, she snatched the embryo right out of Theresa (Jen Lilley) that is supposedly Brady (Eric Martsolf) bi0-child!
After a cryptic conversation with Brady that has had everyone mystified, it left many questions that will be answered when she returns next year. A DAYS press release touts on Davidson’s return this time: “It’s a ‘can’t miss’ story arc that is sure to take viewers by storm.”
Glad to hear about another Davidson “Kristen stint” in Salem? What do you think will happen when she returns this time?
Thank GOD she’s back!! Kristen livens up that place and I can’t wait to see how this baby-storyline plays out. I wish she had been able to stay longer, even one eppi/month would have been an awesome way to keep the viewers up on her pregnancy even if the rest of Salem didn’t know.
I know, right? I love Eileen.
Kristen will be back after having delivered Theresa’s and Brady’s baby. Of course, there will be a paternity test. The hurdle will be explaining how this baby was begotten without having had sex . I’m sure Kristen/TPTB will come up with something…plausible or not will make no difference…it’s a soap…LOL.
This storyline will prove to be very interesting and entertaining….what if the neonate looks just like Theresa?
Can’t wait for Kristen to return!
BEST NEWS EVER!!!
Absolutely adore Eileen Davidson! I will tune back into DAYS when I hear she is back on-air in the spring of 2015. I’ve been tuning in and out since she has left. I just love Kristen Dimera! (Tired of the Salem Hero (Daniel), the rehashing of the Dannifer break-up, and Theresa)!
Always good to see Eileen Davidson on DAYS but I am not down with the stolen embryo plot line. Save that for GH as that is its bread and butter anymore. I prefer to have DAYS try to stay the course of more realistic and human stories, nothing so crazy fantastic.
Stolen/Frozen embryo storylines seem to be GHs specialty these days
Kristen did not steal an embryo. She stole a fetus from Theresa’s womb.
I can’t believe I just wrote that!
I actually am growing to love these “drive-bys” that she’s been doing on DAYS and it’s served to both keep the character from getting too stagnant and also shakes up the canvas in a BIG way every time she hits town.
always loved eilleen as ashley growing up she was my fave y n r heroine!!!
always dissapointed that her triangle wth victor / nikki never reached the pinnacle it should have especially after the last round with adam s gaslighting! i think with all this attention she s been given y n r should finally invest in a serious adam/ ashley/ victor / nikki storyline especially since eilleen plays well with younger hearthtrobs!
ashley and adam would be explosive especially if adam returns as this gabriel alias! ashley/stitch/ vikki seems beneath eilleens talent and its about time y n r gives eileen the respect she deserves!!!
Love Eileen/Kristen So Happy she is coming back.. Really we need Her.. Thank You Eileen Davidson.. XO
Well this is definitely needed but even Eileen cannot save the show unless they use her correctly. Actually they have not been doing badly at all EXCEPT there is no reason for her to be interacting so much with Daniel. He’s just not my favorite character I guess, but really there are far more organic ways to weave Kristen into the canvas than to connect her with Daniel.
I’m sorry but the elephant in the room is: WHY IS DANIEL AT THE CENTER OF EVERY MAJOR STORY ON DAYS??
Dear Powers that be,
Why? Why always Daniel? In my experience not a lot of people like the character, HOWEVER even if many do like him (and I know he has his fans), why make ANY character the center of all the storylines. Every character is sure to have people who like them and people who don’t. By spreading story around the canvas you ensure that the people who DON’T like a character are not turned off by the show. I guarantee that one major reason your ratings have fallen is TOO MUCH DANIEL! No character is so popular that he needs to be involved in everybody else’s story. I personally would say that goes double for Daniel, but again this is not my point. I’m sure some people love the character. I am not even saying get rid of him (although I would not protest…) just GIVE US A FREAKIN’ BREAK ALREADY and KEEP KRISTEN AWAY FROM THIS CLOWN.
Sincerely,
Occasional viewer (used to watch much more frequently and could easily be won back full time if y’all’d get it together!)
Dear Occasional:
Get DVR with a fast forward button.
Best,
The Powers That Be
Dear Powers that Be,
I’ve worn out several FF buttons trying to be patient with your show. In fact come to think of it I should bill you for that. Invoice is in the mail.
All the best,
Occasional
Thank you Jesus!!!!
Next time she comes to town, can she bring Jason Brooks aka Peter Blake DiMera with her???? He was TOO gorgeous!!!! I miss the Woman in White too!! Haha!!!
Unfortunately Jason Brooks will never be back on the show. He reportedly had issues with costar(s) who are still on the show and it’s pretty safe to say that neither he nor the character of Peter will ever return to Days at least so long as that remains the case (although “never say never”).
What a great character though – the baddest of the baddies! Those days with Peter, Laura, Mark Valley’s Jack, Daniel Scott, Jennifer (both Reeves and Cameron), etc. – those were some great storylines!
I hear he’s coming back so it’s great news all around!
@Mark, u hear Jason Brooks is coming back?? The only issues I heard he had was his real life affair with Missy Reeves, the guy who played Ryan on YR(her husband) demanded she quit, hence her quitting at the height of her popularity in the 90s. But over a decade has passed and I am sure everyone has matured, so Jason Brooks needs to comeback, especially now that EJ is dead. Chad can’t carry it, and Stefano is getting too old. Plus Eileen and Jason had excellent brother/sister chemistry. Omg think of the flashbacks!!!!
Not that I doubt your sources, Mark but I won’t hold my breath waiting for this to happen, LOL.
Taping in November seem right on course for May sweeps of 2015, which means she will show up and give birth in Salem in time for the leaves in the fake park to bloom. By then Brady should have his act together, maybe in a new relationship, finally happy– then boom—she’s bacccckkk…….sounds like sweeps to me.
Kristen would have be 6 months pregnant so she would have the baby prematurely.
Theresa may have been 1, 2 or even 3 months pregnant before her embryo/fetus was taken.
Yeah but Theresa would be showing the signs of pregnancy.
How is Kristen going to explain the Brady baby without giving away that Theresa is the bio mom? That’s what I can’t wait to see.
She won’t because Brady already put the pieces together so she can’t even lie out of this one.
Nice news about Kristen coming back. Days is NOTHING without the Dimera family! I stopped watching after EJAMI left, but I might tune in next spring to see Kristen again.
I wish EJ would come back also, but unfortunately, I doubt that will happen. EJ, Sami, Kristen and Stefano add much needed excitement to Days. I wish they would all return as permanent residents of Salem. Otherwise, this show is beyond boring and rather pathetic in my opinion.
Michael, thank you for the information.
I think the same. The ones that makes the show has left the show. I wish Sami and EJ would come back to days. Also I am so glad that Kristen is coming back to days. I love her on that show. And Stefano.
There will be several developments involving the DiMera family in the months to come that would blow your mind! It’s a shame you threw in the towel.
I think she will come back with Brandy’s child
I don’t think so because she stole Theresa’a fetus so possibly Kristen pratically aborted Theresa baby and pratically the baby is dead so she must be carrying a already dead fetus and practically she will miscarry or the baby will be still born or kidnapped someone else’s baby and pass it off as Brady. Really I don’t want Theresa back with Brady and to have Brady’s baby.
Holy cow batman!! Amen !!!
As a new Days viewer, I have to say that Kristen DeMera is something!!!!!! Wow!!!!!! She’s a real nut job. I love her. So glad she will be coming back. I certainly hope Eileen Davidson doesn’t burn herself out with all this work. I know when you’re hot, you’re hot and you have to take it. But, she’s everywhere. Just keep showing up on Days and I’ll be happy.
Depends on how far along Theresa was. Up to 10 weeks medically it’s called an embryo. At 10 weeks they start calling it a fetus. Either way the idea of removing it from one woman and putting it into another is absurdly unscientific and would be a medical first as far as I know.
Thank you
Storyline is absurd ~ I know it’s a soap, but good grief, they transplanted an embryo – When Kristen comes back to town I guess she will be carrying Brady’s child, even though she is a tad on the mature side to be “with child”. How old is the character supposed to be? I know thanks to cosmetic surgery everyone looks eternally 35 or so but some of these actors have been on the show for quite some time. Won’t Theresa be wondering and thinking that it’s odd that Kristen is having a baby around the same time that she herself would be popping one out – wierd.
Yeah! I love ED as KD. Hope AS returns as SB.
Glad Eileen is back on Days. Expected her to come back, but not quite this soon. Nevertheless, very happy about this news.
Looking forward to seeing how the baby story will play out. Hope the writers don’t mess up this story. They need to follow through with what has been started relative to the story and not skip over any details.
Case in point, during the Kristen rapes Eric story, the video of Kristen and Eric that was shown at the Bristen wedding had been altered to incriminate Eric. That truth was never revealed to Salemites. It should have been made known in the storyline. The revelation about the altered tape did not have to change how the story played out regarding Eric and the church or even Eric and Nicole. But the truth of the matter should have been revealed. Little details like that can cause viewer frustration. So I hope nothing like that happens with this new Kristen Brady Theresa baby story.
I hope Kristen loose Brady and Theresa baby because to have a baby at 6 months wouldn’t she go into premature labor. My fact is that Kristen stole a fetus from Theresa uterus and I believe it didn’t took it latch on to Kristen old uterus. Besides she can’t pulled the wool over Brady’s eyes because on dayscafe.com. ..Brady already putting the pieces together about what happened to Theresa. My guess hopefully once Brady confront her Stephano it Kristen will tell him that the fetus didn’t took so she practically aborted Theresa baby and with Brady doing the check up to confirm it also besides he will have Melanie and hopefully she will definitely get pregnant with Brady’s baby.
I love Eileen for God sake come back and never leave lol, the only issue I have with Days is the they make Kristen too crazy I mean yeah leave some crazy but always redeem her like Dorian Lord in OLTL you wanted to kill her but then she would turn around and help someone and this thing with the fetus come on give me a break it’s so stupid I mean who writes this stuff my thing is make it more realistic she should of had a baby with Brady so there would always be a connection even when they broke up Bristen was the best those actors have a connection that you don’t see often but anyway I hope that it turns out that the baby is not Bradys so at least if Bristen end up having sex before she leaves again when she comes back she could come back with brady jr she deservers this after what she’s been through Just mu thought.

Sydney Malekeh Joins the Cast of ‘Days of Our Lives’ in Mystery Role: Who Do You Think She’s Playing?
There’s a new gal coming to Salem, or is she new and a recast? That’s what inquiring minds from Days of Our Lives fans have been trying to figure out since the Peacock soap opera dropped an Instagram video heralding actress‘ Sydney Malekeh’s arrival in Salem.
The soap did confirm that viewers will first see Malekeh on the September 9 episode. In the video, Malekeh is seen going set to set from her dressing room and in to the halls of Days of Our Lives studios.
What we do know id that Sydney has been acting professionally for 6 years and had appeared on Grey’s Anatomy, Apple TV’s Shrinking and the HBO Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls.
Plenty of Malekeh’s DAYS castmates jumped into the comment thread with positive emojis symbols or written excitement including: Paul Telfer (Xander), Linsey Godfrey (Sarah), Sal Stowers (Lani), Conner Floyd (Chad), Eric Martsolf (Brady) and Christie Clark (Carrie) and more now that fans will finally see her on-air. Since Days of Our Lives tapes 10-11 months in advance, Sydney would have started taping the show sometime back in 2025.
DAYS fans think perhaps because the actress’ name is Sydney that she might be playing the grown-up daughter of Sami and EJ. That character hasn’t bee on the canvas since 2021.
So, who do you think Sydney Malekeh might be playing on Days of Our Lives? Drop your casting director thoughts via the comment section below.

Peacock Hikes Subscription Rates for Fourth Time in Four Years; ‘Days of Our Lives’ Fans Sound Off
While recently the streaming service Peacock reported turning a profit for its first time since its infancy, now comes word that the company is raising their prices for all customers, and in some cases it stared today on August 18.
The news of the subscription rate increases marks the fourth time the NBCUniversal streaming platform has done so in four years. So, on August 18, Peacock is increasing the prices for new or returning subscribers and customers, while current subscribers will see the rate increase on or after September 17 depending on their billing cycle when they initially signed up.
Here is the new pricing to follow along: Peacock Premium (which includes ads) will be $12.99/month, up two dollars from $10.99; Peacock Premium Plus will be $19.99/month, up three dollars increase from $16.99; and the Peacock Select tier (which includes current and past seasons of NBC and Bravo shows but excludes movies, live sports and Peacock originals) will increase a dollar from $7.99 to $8.99/month.

SUBSCRIBERS CONTINUE TO PAY MORE ACROSS THE STREAMER LANDSCAPE
It was back in June that the streamer reported that aid subscribers were up to 48 million adding a 2 million net gain during Q2 in of 2026. The subscription price hikes are rampant now in the entertainment streaming industry where over the last two years for example, Netflix, HBO Max, Apple TV, Paramount+ have all raised their fees to consumers.
Peacock’s tier-levels feature not only Days of Our Lives, but reality hits such as The Traitors and Love Island USA, Bravo series, and a vault of Saturday Night Live, Law & Order, The Real Housewives franchise, and Below Deck episodes as well. Pecock Premium and Premium Plus subscribers have access to sports and live events, as well.
DAYS OF OUR LIVES SUBSCRIBERS HAD A FEW CHOICE WORDS FOR PEACOCK
As Days of Our Lives fans know, the soap opera moved from NBC to the streamer back in September of 2022 after 57 years on broadcast television. When the news hit X on the price increase, DAYS fans had a lot to say about it. Here are just a few of the comments below:
“I can’t believe Peacock and can’t come to a deal with Cordya to air old episodes of #Days. That alone would bring a ton of subscribers,” to If Peacock actually cared about #Days of Our Lives, gave the show the budget it needs for better sets, cameras, background actors and enough time to tell proper stories, I wouldn’t mind paying more. If the money actually showed on screen, the higher price would be worth it,” to “I will continue to pay for a Peacock subscription as long as #Days is on it, but did we know there was another price increase coming?” and more.
So, what do you think of the new price hike increase to watch Days of Our Lives and your other favorite shows and events on Peacock? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

‘Veronica & Julian’ Feature Starring ‘Days of Our Lives’ Alums Nadia Bjorlin and Kyler Pettis Releases Key Art and More (Exclusive)
In the upcoming indie feature Veronica & Julian from director Otoja Abit, two former Days of Our Lives stars, Nadia Bjorlin (ex-Chloe Lane) and Kyler Pettis (ex-Theo Carver), headline the drama feature in this story of a May-December romance that faces challenges along the way.
Veronica & Julian centers on a confident and successful marketing executive (Bjorlin) who winds up falling for a younger aspiring architect (Pettis). From there, a journey of desire and self-discovery is set against the backdrop of present-day New York City.
The cast also includes: Blake Jenner (ex-Glee), Erin Cummings, Chrystee Pharris (ex-Simone Russell, Passions and Queens of Drama), Robert Lee Leng, Mark Famiglietti and Jennafer Newberry.

LIVE CHAT WITH NADIA AND KYLER PLANNED
Now, Michael Fairman TV can share exclusively: the key poster art below, and that current plans that call for Veronica & Julian to be released and made available late this holiday season.
In addition, Nadia and Kyler will join us for a very special livestream conversation on the Michael Fairman Channel (Monday, Aug 24 – 3PM ET/Noon PT) to chat about their roles in the film, their time on Days of Our Lives, life post-soap opera, and much more. Fans can join the live chat and pose their questions to the actors as well.

THE THEMES BEHIND VERONICA & JULIAN
Director Otoja Abit shared this statement on the feature film, “Veronica & Julian is about the right people who have a chance meeting at the wrong time. It’s a look at two people who don’t grow apart—they just grow up. This film is an authentic exploration of an imminent ending and how two people deeply in love got there. It aims to be quiet while telling a relatable story about modern-day relationships.”
Abit continued, “As a society, mainstream romantic films are often delivered through fantastical aspirations. I created this film believing that viewers who have experienced a breakup can relate to Veronica and Julian, depending on their perspective. They’re a couple navigating some of the most familiar obstacles in love: miscommunication, timing and pride.”
He concluded, “It’s a story about endings told through the small moments we often don’t recognize until they’re gone. With the support of the Panavision New Filmmaker Program, I approached the story with a deeper sense of visual control while maintaining the naturalism that defines each character.”

Veronica and Julian is written, produced and directed by Abit and produced through his Willful Productions alongside Kory Apton and Ian Phillips. Executive producers include: Nick Leicht, Gregory Sinche, Shelly Sinche, Torsten Sippel, Tim Freydberg, Ryan Schulke and Matthew Conlin.
