Two-time Daytime Emmy winner, Eileen Davidson (Ashley Abbott) who returns this week on Y&R in story for a visit, will also be a part of the upcoming memorial episodes of the series as they honor their longtime castmate, Kristoff St. John who passed away at the age of 52 back in February.
On Y&R, the characters will say goodbye to Neil Winters and the actors who worked with St. John will share their remembrances.
Davidson will take part in the episodes airing April 25th and 26th, and then on April 29th.
Eileen told Soap Opera Digest in their latest issue on newsstands nationwide tomorrow, “When I was initially contacted by Y&R it was only supposed to be for a quick visit, but after Kristoff St. John’s passing, the show asked if I would participate in their plans to honor both Neil and Kristoff.” Davidson goes on to say that she was ‘honored to be included.”
During, the Michael Fairman Channel’s sit-down interview with Davidson when she departed Y&R last October, she spoke of how much she loved working with St John. At the time she exited the series full-time, Neil and Ashley were involved romantically.
Glad to hear Eileen will be part of the episodes honoring Kristoff? Comment below.
YES, always happy to have Eileen be on Y&R…
Yes it is nice to see Eileen again. Even nicer, to see Jack verbally take Ashley down for good making very public what she did to him. That would destroy Ashley’s reputation with those she does business with.
Yes, I think it’s fitting.
OMG!!!! Eileen is ageless—she is soooo beautiful–so happy to have seen her today.
It makes sense for her to be present, honoring Kristoff’s life in death.
As far as what is ‘happening’ with the Abbott siblings and Jabot ( sp); I am somewhat taken aback by Ashley’s callous demeanor—the righteous indignation seems vindictive to me…..Never expected the turn-about—albeit, I must admit Jack deserves everything he gets.
Acting the tyro…..the school boy hurt is unseemly. Considering his age and life experience(s), shouldn’t he have known better? I did say that a woman, young enough to be his daughter, must have an agenda. His money or ambush the family business. I never liked “Kerry”; but, I thought she was working with JT—what a faux pas , on my part!!
Yes … I’m glad Ashley is participating. She was Neil’s last love affair. Only fitting she’d return for his memorial.

In shocking news to so many, This Is Us star Justin Hartley (Kevin Pearson) has filed for divorce after two years of marriage from former Days of our Lives’and Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause (Jordan Ridgeway).
According to court documents on Friday via TMZ, Justin is citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of the split.
The date of their separation is listed as July 8, 2019, which has perplexed those in the media when the pair have been seen together in recent months at Hollywood events and sharing posts of one another on their social media accounts.
Justin and Chrishell were last seen together in public last week on November 14th at a Hollywood Reporter-sponsored pre-Golden Globes party. Reps for both actors have you to share statements or make a comment.
Hartley and Stause tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Malibu’s Calamigos Ranch back in October 28th, 201, which was four years to the day after they met.
As daytime fans know, Justin and Chrishell met when they were both part of the soap opera community. Justin was last on daytime as Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless. Hartley has one child, Isabella, from a previous marriage to another soap actress, Lindsay Korman, who he met when they both were on the defunct NBC soap Passions. Justin and Lindsay were married for 8 years.
We will update you as they warrant in this developing story. And on personal note: we wish nothing but the best for both Justin and Chrishell.
