Senior Vice President of CBS Daytime Angelica McDaniel recently spoke to The Soap Opera Network about how long she worked to bring the popular Eileen Davidson back to The Young and the Restless, focusing once again on powerful female characters, and the hot men available for Ashley Abbott!


According to McDaniel, "Honestly, ever since [former executive producer Maria Arena Bell] took her off contract about two years ago, I’ve been fighting to get her back. I’ve done everything from talking to her, sending her flowers, sending her candy, tweeting ‘Come home, Eileen!’ So we’re so thrilled to finally have her back."

McDaniel also reveals, "One of the great things about having Eileen Davidson back is we need to get strong women back to business. It’s one of the things that ‘The Young and the Restless’ has done very well, and we haven’t focused on it much in the last couple of years, so it’s time to get those women back in. We’ve got Jill (Jess Walton), we have Ashley, we have Abby (Melissa Ordway), Lily (Christel Khalil), a lot of great women, so it’s time to start seeing them be powerful!”

And this wouldn't be The Young and the Restless if hot guys weren't part of the equation. McDaniel admitted, "We have some great story. And we’ve got some hot guys for Ashley to interact with, so it’s a perfect time for her to come back!”
