I’m a little sad about that. SH has really made Kristen her own and I feel like there’s so much more story to tell with the character.

I guess when she finally gets to hold Rachel in her arms, she’ll then be arrested for stabbing Victor and sent to prison. That’s probably the route they’ll take with her exit story.

Brady will be left to raise Rachel and Sarah will see that as an opportunity to be closer to the baby and enact revenge on Xander by teaming up with Brady.

[Chabby lover]

Nope she gets the baby back and disappears with her child. That is how she leaves.

[Chabby lover]

Brady tells Kristen to run with the baby so she’s not busted for stabbing Victor. And he’s gonna get revenge on Victor to get him to drop the charges so she can come home;

[JustGigi]

This is exactly how I see it playing out, and it makes the most sense. Brady will tell Victor if he ever wants forgiveness he has to withdraw the accusations against Kristen and make sure the charges against her are dropped.

It was announced that she was taping again before the covid shutdown and there were some pictures out of her with some of the cast... they were in a stairwell if I remember correctly. I, for one, can't wait for her return and she isn't even gone yet.

[JackandJenfan]

I'm fine with this. Kristen is a character that should pop in and out when needed.

[Beca Drags]

I wish Stacy the best, but I've had my fill of crazy, unhinged Kristen for a long while. Yet another criminal who should be in prison. Yes, I know what Victor and Xander did to her, taking her baby off her and making her think her child was dead, was heartless, cruel and criminal(they should be in prison too) but she was not in any imminent physical danger when she viciously and brutally stabbed him in the heart. Her reaction to things are not normal, sane or rational.

[Flowercity79]

So ia she gone for good? I thought she was still filming prior to the covid hiatus?

[JackandJenfan]

She was filming. I guess she's back doing stints.

[Flowercity79]

JackandJenfan ok thats what i thought. Im glad this wont be the last we see of her and she returns eventually!

[DAYDREAMER]

Kristen should run like the wind with her baby, Rachel..The Nunnery would be a good place to seek refuge..Yes, that's the ticket! Eric could become a priest again and keep her crazy self focused on the baby...jmo

[dqc0525]

With Days shooting schedule, I’m a lil shocked that her leaving wasn’t already public knowledge.

[kahinamah]

Too bad, I totally love the actress in the role, I would have liked to see her evolution.
Now she can very well come and go according to the intrigues.

[ALoyalSoapFan]

Oh my stars, murderess, attempted murderess, fetus stealer, kidnapper, 2 x's rapist Kristen will get away with committing another one of her gazillionth criminal crimes!

[Harmonica1985]

Yep.and that baby will suffer for her mother's craziness.

[Elle23276]

Oh geez....all that and I still like her more than Abby...?

[Harmonica1985]

I hate that SH is leaving.

[eileenregina]

Me too! I think she has been excellent in the part and made it her own. I know a lot of people still preferred ED but I think Stacey is just as good.

[dee2]

I'm glad there won't be any more boring scenes with her for awhile. Who will be the new love for Brady?

[tiff5555]

Harmonica1985 My crystal ball is telling me that he should get with a dark haired woman filled with her richness....Lani Price!

[Abby_fan]

Oh tiff5555 lol Kristen would kill Lani if that were to happen. But Brady will be in love with another woman by next month.

[JackandJenfan]

10 to 1, the new person is Sarah.

[CaptainKC]

I'm fine with this. Kristen is a character that should pop in and out when needed.

Agreed. She's not really very sympathetic, and I'm fine with her taking leave.

[backheidi]

I hated that they made her bad again. Loved her so much more decent. Not sure why they did not play the temporary insanity card. It certainly would have made sense. But it sounds like it may be temporary while all this baby switch aftermath plays out. I figured that in the end Kristen and Victor would make a deal somehow because both (along with Xander) could be put in prison for life. Plus RC always gives attempted murderers an out because the plot is most important!!

[tiff5555]

That means....is Eileen coming back????

[JackandJenfan]

No, SH is now playing Kristen. ED is on Y&R. SH will be back. This is temporary.

[tiff5555]

I would like Eileen back. There has been something missing from Days and that is familiarity.

[JackandJenfan]

Recasts happen all the time. This is the one soap that familiarity is used. Jarlena, Stayla, JnJ, Doulie.... I love ED, but she made her choice. SH has done a wonderful job.
