Eileen Davidson Confirms She’s Part of DAYS Limited-Series: “I’m BEYOND Excited to be Joining BEYOND SALEM!”
On Monday, after more cast members were revealed who will appear in Peacock’s upcoming streaming series, Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem, came a photo from limited-series star, Lisa Rinna (Billie) posted to her Instagram Story of Eileen Davidson from the hair and make-up room where it looks like Days of our Lives is taped and said, , “LOOK WHO I FOUND”.
As the rumors began circulating it became true when Davidson took to her own Instagram and revealed that she too is part of the limited-series event for Peacock, and now the question is, how many roles will Davidson be playing? Will she be playing Kristen DiMera and Susan Banks, or any other of the Banks siblings? Time will tell.
The two-time Daytime Emmy-winning star shared a clip of her time on the NBC soap as Kristen and stated: “I’m BEYOND excited to be joining BEYOND SALEM! Streaming soon on @peacocktv”
So, what do you think of Eileen also being on the upcoming Days limited-series? Let us know in the comment section below.

For the love of all that’s unholy, let her be Kristen and NOT Susan. Or any of the other Susan family.
It would be a great thing to see the REAL Kristen again.
The one thing I’m worried about with her & Lisa Rinna both involved is that ReRon will use this to promote their stupid “reality” show, which I have never seen, will never see, and couldn’t give a cherub’s pink ass about.
But ReRon tried to write this lowest form of “television” into General Hospital when he was there, so I wouldn’t put it past him.
I like the way you think, Satan. However, I’ll take Eileen any way I can have her—be she Kristen, Susan ( in small doses), Ashley or any other character.
But, I do object to “reality” anything. Most of all?? Lisa Rinna. Can’t stomach her in any role. I break out in hives. One of the most pretentious woman I have had the displeasure of watching in any venture/venue.
I will not mention who THE most outrageously over-the-top, plainly stupid, entitled, child-like woman in Hollywood is.
Interesting news! I know many many fans wanted Eileen back in the role(s). And, I’ve loved Eileen in all her memorable roles on DAYS, especially Kristen and Susan. However, I really miss Stacey in the role of Kristen, and the show has sabotaged the character. I really thought Kristen would change her ways when her daughter was born and the true identity of Rachel was revealed but no, the show decided to have her kidnap Sarah, then, break out of prison and cause further havoc on Chloe, kidnapping Lucas and Sami, and Kate, too, right? I think I got that all right. I really loved Stacey’s gracious and loving depiction with her daughter- the daughter she always desired. Then, DAYS does havoc on the Kristen character and writes her off again after she is caught posing as Susan.
How is Eileen’s return to this spin-off necessary? Why the change in actress, yes the role(s) were originated by Eileen? Was Stacey not available or did the show invite Eileen for a short-term gig? How is she supposed to be in story when she’s behind bars? I don’t see her just coming back to be Susan or any of the other characters. It’s got to be that mean, mean, mean Kristen DiMera, the head vampire. I’m happy we will have Eileen returning … but for a short gig? Why not just have consistency with Stacey in the role, unless DAYS has bigger plans for the Kristen character and will write her back into the show itself, perhaps – it’s a comeback return. Though, I have mixed reviews about it. Way to stick it to Stacey when I believe she’s done a very fine job in the roles. Much love to Stacey- welcome back Eileen. I guess she is the head vampire.
Kristen isn’t behind bars. She escaped from the police station. Her whereabouts are unknown.
I actually prefer Stacey Haiduk (SP?) as Kristen!
So excited for her return.
YAY, I’m beyond excited too!!
The one and only REAL Kristen, Eileen Davidson to reclaim her trademark role
No one can replace her!
Days tried it with her role and Y n r tried it with Ashley. ( although Brenda Epperson and Stacy truly were great stand ins)
Thank you soap gods!!
This Days spin off is sooooo what my soap dreams are made off, first Carrie and Austin, then the suprise recast of Sonny with Zach Tinker ( who should never have been let go from Y n r) to Eileen?!!! Toooo good!!
Zach Tinker was technically never “let go” from The Young and the Restless. He was always billed as a recurring-guest, which means he is not entitled to definitive work. Did they underuse him? Yes. But was he let go? Not technically.
Maybe
However it was very odd he was no longer on once Mal Young was replaced with Josh the snore Griffith. Fenn was situated in between Summer and Lola and even Ana( another mistake to be let go) and a thorn in kyles side. When the headwriter switch happened it was clear he was replaced with Theo. A much cheaper version, And we know how that worked out…
It will be interesting to see what role E.D. plays in the limited series. Stacy Haiduk has been phenomenal as Kristen and Susan, I hope she remains in the roles.
Sorry, not going to waste my money signing up to watch this 5 episode arc on Peacock. I’ve got my money invested in other streaming. The sad thing is that this writing team has done nothing with the M-F network show to motivate me to pay to watch something unwatchable.
I’m reasonably certain you can watch Peacock for free. It might have more ads than the “premium” version, but still less than what you would see on NBC.com (when Days used to stream on there)

Days of our Lives Star, Greg Vaughan, Gives Health Update and Thanks Everyone for Their Support
Greg Vaughan (Eric, Days of our Lives, ex-Lucky, GH, and ex-Diego, Y&R) provided an update on his health on Sunday, March 17th. Vaughan had previously shared that he had become ill during a trip with his sons to Colorado, and had developed altitude sickness when he was having trouble breathing accompanied by terrible headaches and landed in the urgent care.
Now on St. Patrick’s Day, Greg took to his Instagram and shared how he is feeling now, and to thank everyone for their love and support. As it turned out, Vaughan was diagnosed with high altitude pulmonary edema, commonly known as HAPE. However, he is on the mend slowly and surely.
In his new video post, the DAYS favorite started by expressing, “I just felt such an appreciation and gratitude for everything. . reaching out. Your prayers have been felt. It’s been a struggle, but I’m over the top. And, taking this moment just to say I didn’t realize the things that I was going through. My (original) post was simply just to educate, put some information out there and some things that I was feeling, just share that information and the struggle that I was going through, which I didn’t quite understand. And it wasn’t because I’m stubborn or just because I’m a father, a man, and didn’t want to go to a doctor. It is just something I thought was so minor that I could overcome it, just by taking care of myself.”
The Daytime Emmy winner then revealed his actual diagnosis, “So, basically my situation was high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). With some good friends, doctors that had reached out to me, it kind of gave me some understanding on the aftermath, which was very, very beneficial.”
“But I’ve been resting, taking care of myself even though I live in a hamster wheel,” said the dad of three teenaged boys. “I gotta get up and, you know, do my normal domesticated stuff, eventually. I’m tired of laying down in this bed, but, I am feeling much better.”
Talking on his confusion of trying to understand what could have been ailing him, Vaughan expressed, “I couldn’t quite figure it out, even though I was emphasizing and professing to my children going on our spring break getaway about hydration. I professed it. But, even though I was acting on it, it had a greater effect on me, and for which I did not even think, because my head was such in pain, and I was in a very bad state of mind – not being able to be out there with my kids on the mountain, enjoying their time, as well. I thought I was doing the right thing. Unfortunately, my lungs were full of fluids and my head was in severe pain and even migraine pills didn’t even help. So, I just want anybody that goes into the Colorado Mountains to know, it is no joke. It is this very serious thing which I guess is why they call it the Mile High City.”
Greg had a mountain of ‘thank you’s’ to give for the outreach he received from his original post, “For everybody internationally, wherever you are, I love you and I appreciate you and just the time and the thoughts that you’ve shared with me,” said Vaughan. “I didn’t realize that it would make such an impression on so many people around the world. I feel tremendously loved and I can’t say it enough. I’m good. And I appreciate you.”
The actor concluded his video with, “To all the family and friends that have reached out to me, man, it means the world. So take care of yourself, enjoy your spring break with your families. It’s Saint Patty’s Day, obviously. I wish I could be out there.” Vaughan added, “I feel loved and touched and I can’t emphasize that enough. I’ll take better care of myself, promise you will do the same.” Before he signed off, Greg shared, “Just know, that I’m alive and well and breathing, and I’m sore. So, be well, take care. I mean it. Thank you, tremendously.”
Glad to know that Greg has been on the mend, and shared his appreciation for everyone that reached out to him during this trying time? Comment below.

‘Access Hollywood’ and ‘Couple to Throuple’ Host Scott Evans to Appear on Days of our Lives
Scott Evans, host of Access Hollywood and the Peacock reality series Couple to Throuple, will make a guest appearance this week on Days of our Lives.
Circle the Thursday, March 21st episode of DAYS for Evans’ arrival in Salem. During his tape date last fall (since DAYS tapes months well ahead of when episodes actually stream), Scott posed for a snap alongside Mary Beth Evans (Kayla), Jackée Harry (Paulina), James Reynolds (Abe) and Greg Rikaart (Leo).
Teasers for the 3/21 episode of DAYS share that Leo tries to come up with his next gossip column, and Paulina and Abe return home to a mini-celebration set up by Johnny and Steve. Will Evans pop up in one of those scenarios? Stay tuned.
For a long time, soap opera fans knew only of one Scott Evans. The one who played Oliver Fish on One Life to Live from 2008-2010. But in show business, there are two Scott Evans’ that are widely-known.
Last Thursday, March 12th at the 35th annual GLAAD Media Awards, it found both Scott Evans and Scott Evans together in the green room and they taped this video ditty below, calling out how they both share the same name.
Last weekend, viewers saw OLTL’s Scott Evans on-stage at the Oscars when he performed in the musical number “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie led by Ryan Gosling.
As for Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans, he has been with the entertainment news program since 2015, appeared in the recent Ladies of the 80s: A Divas Christmas with Linda Gray, Donna Mills, Nicollette Sheridan, Loni Anderson and Morgan Fairchild, and currently has an overall talent and development deal with NBCUniversal.
So, looking forward to seeing Scott on DAYS? Check out ‘Evans meeting Evans’ below, and then share your thoughts in the comment section.

Days of our Lives Star Greg Vaughan Shares Sudden Health Scare: “I Truly Feel Like I Work & Live in a Soap Opera!”
What started out as an adventure with his sons, quickly turned into a nightmare for Days of our Lives Daytime Emmy winner, Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady).
In a series of Instagram posts, Vaughan shared the sudden health crisis he found himself in. The images show Greg with an oxygen tank to help him breathe.
The actor began to fill people, sharing, “I’ve said more than a few times, I truly feel like I work & live in a Soap Opera! 🤪 this trip was nothing short of another great Vaughan adventure!”
He went on to say that on a father and son Colorado spring break trip, he began to feel shortness of breath, feeling tired and with a headache and after two days of hoping he would feel better, Vaughan finally went to an Urgent Care to get checked out.
“I finally surrendered & went to urgent care and to my shock I learned that I was experiencing severe altitude sickness.” Vaughan admitted. “My Blood Oxygen was at 54% & my lungs were full of fluids! Blood oxygen, also known as oxygen saturation, represents the percentage of hemoglobin in your red blood cells that is carrying oxygen. Most people have an oxygen level of 95-100%….”
Providing more detail to his health scare, Greg shared, “Well, 4hrs later, a couple of bags of IV & oxygen tank strapped to my face, I was told that I needed to immediately get off the mountain! However I couldn’t, we still had another day to go & wanting the boys to enjoy their last day on the hill tops! I opted to go home with an oxygen tank, a good laugh for everyone, and I know will follow, but my boys looked after their old man & fortunately they had friends on this trip!”
The experience of altitude sickness in the Colorado Rockies gave Vaughan a bit of a new perspective, “In all seriousness, no matter your age, and all the times I’ve ⛷️ & 🏂 in my lifetime, Colorado Rockies is no joke! As they say, ‘ take a breathe and smell the roses!’ That is truly something we need to remember & appreciate! #recover”
