Why was eileen davidson let go from yr

However, unlike every soap opera, instead of killing her or stealing her boyfriend, Davidson recommended that the Young and the Restless producers hire Doumani to play Abbott. Somehow, the replacement went through, and Doumani played Abbott while Davidson was free to leave the show. On DooL , she played five different characters and fans just rolled with it , which netted her an Emmy for Lead Actress.

But after that successful run, Davidson was feeling bold, so she dramatically returned to The Young and the Restless , where she resumed playing Ashley Abbott in The writers found new adventures for her for seven years, but in , she was abruptly fired and her contract wasn't renewed because they claimed to have run out of material for her character. As Soap Central reported earlier this month, she stars in the new film Walk to Vegas , which she convinced her real-life husband Vince Van Patten to write and create.

Who's Who : Read a biography of Ashley Abbott. Lost password? Email changed? Search the Site. Jerry Douglas, star of The Young and the Restless for more than 30 years, has died. 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. Like the scene from MR. 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.

Hello the cast are the people that are on the soaps not behind the scenes, whatever. I was a hugh Days of our Lives fan until the storyline got so crazy. She does a great job of portraying a smart, successful CEO. We want her back!! 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!!! A sibling Alexis never new about. Loved to see scenes of Tony and Eileen. Great idea. Is Maria Arena Bell out of her mind? Michael Muhney tweeted the other day that there are too many actors on this soap and not enough storyline.. SMH, he, himself will be off the canvas soon and not seen again until July! AMEN — the writers on this show must only have to think once a month , the rest of the time the show just stinks. Is anyone else tired of Victor and Sharon?

I hope this is true. I think she will have to deal with this fall-out from Sony too. So why would they be behind this if they want her over at Days?

I am confused! 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. I wish I had the inside track still so I could … Read more ». Thanks Christine for the info and too be honest since Eileen has come back it has been one crappy storyline after another, she will do fine she writes books etc.

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.

Devoted Fan, I meant no disrespect to your post. I only meant to infer that I hate how Sony gets such a bad rap because it really was an incredible company to work for — that is if you were someone like me who was not an actor and paid the BIG bucks. I am sure the actors have other choice words for them. I hate to say it, but I have the feeling that CBS and Sony may want out of the daytime soap business too.

I guess it will remain to be seen once the current … Read more ». As of late, her role has diminished; they could have wrote something for her. 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! 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.

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. Fairman get an interview please with this lovely lady. Several of my friends have … Read more ». Love Eileen, and would love to see her back on Days, but not as Kristen. That is so ! Yep but John and Marlena are boring without a spoiler, it is not new.. Well if its the case for eillen the Bell family should at least give us a full explanation why they have fired Eillen.

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? Are they total idiots at YR? Its a shame. Eileen is a wonderful actress. Not really sure exactly why, but in the big picture I guess it doesn't really matter! She remained with the show for four years before taking a two-year break.

Eleven years later, Davidson was again signed to a contract. In , Davidson headed back to The Young and Restless. Davidson started off playing just one role, Kristen Blake in Three years after that, she added Susan Banks.

There are whispers that Days of our Lives might make a play for Davidson now that she is out of work at The Young and the Restless. She is a shining star!
