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:

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.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES Preview: Kristen Locates an Alive Sophia, How Much Does Rita Know About the Birth of Dominic Marino?
Next week, expected surprises and schemes on Days of our Lives. In official spoilers for episodes streaming on Peacock from October 5-9, it looks like Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) has hunted down a very much alive Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd), while Marlena (Deidre Hall) admits a deeply concerning confession to her daughter Belle (Martha Madison), and more.
As previously reported, Tajh Bellow (ex-TJ Ashford, General Hospital) is stepping in for one day for Tyler Joseph Andrews in the role of Theo Carver and will share scenes with Gabi (Cherie Jimenez), where Theo finally agrees to go along with Gabi’s plan, after she offered him a job.
Meanwhile, Gabi may have her hands full with Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) whose big win in Monte Carlo may have sparked his gambling addiction … all over again, but Philip reveals her has a plan.

Sydney (Sydney Malekeh) is in for a shock when Dante (Franco LoPresti) arrives in Salem. Why is he in Salem? Is he part of the unraveling of the Dominic Marino mystery, since we know he seemed like he was talking to the man in Monte Carlo?
Will Marlena ever figure out what Rita (Maggie Carney) is hiding about the mystery of Dominic, and if Marlena is truly his birth mother or did something more suspicious go on and how deeply involved is Rita in this whole story?
EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) finally demands answers of his own from Rita after overhearing on today’s Cliffhanger Friday her conversation with Marlena. Will Rita cop to anything?
Then as noted, while everyone thinks Sophia took her own life, after Kristen “murdered” her, Kristen is infuriated to find she is somehow alive working as waitress in a diner in Kentucky. Will Kristen try to kill Sophia yet again?
Take a look at some of the additional spoilers for next week’s action on DAYS below.

So, what do you think will happen when Kristen finds that the woman she thought she murdered and framed (making it looking like a suicide) is alive and well and working in a diner far away from Salem? Was Rita more involved with Stefano DiMera than we even know? Who is the birth mother of Dominic? Is it really Marlena or did someone else carrying her child? And what of Dante? Why is he back in Salem? To get at Philip, or something else? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

‘General Hospital’ Alum Tajh Bellow Fills In for ‘Days of our Lives’ Tyler Joseph Andrews in the Role of Theo Carver
After an earlier post on Thursday, October 1 about General Hospital alumni Tajh Bellow’s (ex-TJ Ashford) upcoming project from Issa Rae’s HOOPAE Digital, comes word that Bellow is temporarily stepping into the role of Days of our Lives Theo Carver to fill in for Tyler Joseph Andrews on the Peacock streaming soap opera.
According to TV Insider, Bellow will be making a one-day appearance next week on the October 6 episode of DAYS as Andrews was unable to make the tape date that was shot 10 months ago on a day last December. Andrews (pictured below) took over the role of Theo in September of 2025.
In Bellow’s upcoming episode as Theo, he will share scenes with Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez). A DAYS spokesperson tells the outlet that Bellow “stepped seamlessly into the role, and the cast and crew were grateful for his professionalism and commitment, albeit for only one episode.”

TAJH WILL BE SEEN IN MULTIPLE PROJECTS IN OCTOBER
As General Hospital fans know, Tajh played the role of TJ Ashford from 2018 to his last appearance in December of 2024. Along the way, he received two Daytime Emmy nominations for his performances as TJ, the last being in 2025 in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
In addition, bellow along with Y&R alum Loren Lott will be seen starting on October 14 in the new Love Island spoof series, The Compatibility Experiment. The show will drop exclusively on TikTok and the PineDrama platform.
The Compatibility Experiment gives a satirical look at reality dating shows, think Love Island! The story centers around Kelvin (Bellow) and Camila (Lott), whose relationship is put to the test when they join a reality show to try to win a the million dollar prize.
So, what do you think of Tajh stepping in for Tyler Joseph Andrews as Theo on DAYS? Perhaps, the soap opera liked his work that he might be considered for another role in the future bringing Bellow back to the soaps? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
Four cast members are officially on contract at Days of our Lives, according to the soap opera’s closing credits on Peacock and longtime Days expert and historian Jason 47.
Lauren Koslow (Kate), Sydney Malakeh (Sydney), Sal Stowers (Lani) and Jacob Martinez (Javi) are the names that appear in the closing credits in the contracted cast members section. Days of our Lives fans also note that the series tapes ten months in advance of streaming episodes.
As Days of our Lives fans know, Lauren Koslow has played Kate Roberts since 1996, and recently filled-in for Jess Walton in the role of Jill Abbott on The Young and the Restless when Walton was unable to travel from Oregon to Los Angeles during the specific tape dates. But now, Koslow has been re-upped to contract status as of the September 8 episode.

SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED
Sydney Malakeh is the newest member of the contract players when she debuted on contract status on the September 10th episode. Days fans first met Sami (Alison Sweeney) and EJ’s (Dan Feuerriegel) daughter in scenes in Monte Carlo around a gambling table.
As for Sal Stowers, the actress had been on contract from 2015-2022, then on recurring status with the soap, and would make appearances and limited runs since 2023. Soap fans first saw Sal as Cassandra Foster on Prospect Park’s revival of All My Children in 2013. Sal’s first new contracted episode was noted to be September 16.
Jacob Martinez, debuted on June 30 of this year as the successor to Al Calderon in the role of Javi Hernandez, and has now been bumped up to series regular as of the September 10 episode.

CREDITS
According to the referenced posting from Days of our Lives expert and historian Jason 47, he shared, “It took me four weeks to realize, but the same week that Sydney Malakeh (Sydney) debuted (9/7-9/11), “Days” also put Lauren Koslow (Kate), Jacob Richard Martinez (Javi) and Sal Stowers (Lani) on contract.”
Jason47 added, “This confirms the “errors” of Lani being listed in the credits the week of 9/7 but not appearing, and Kate and Javi appearing in the credits the week of 9/14 but not appearing. It also now makes sense why Javi and Sydney are being listed before Rafe and Philip in the credits.”
He also shared, “For the record, Lauren Koslow’s first date back on contract was 9/8, Jacob Richard Martinez was upped to contract on 9/10, Sydney Malakeh debuted on contract 9/10 and Sal Stowers’ first date back on contract was 9/16. The records will be fixed on the website in the coming days.”
So, glad to hear Lauren, Sydney, Sal and Jacob appear to be on contract with Days of our Lives (as of these episode airings)? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
