Since "Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem" completed its run, Stacy Haiduk has returned to the soap on the regular afternoon installments of "Days of Our Lives," first as Kristen DiMera, and more recently as Susan Banks, Kristen's goofy look-alike who becomes possessed by the devil, seen on YouTube.
Still, learning that Eileen Davidson, would be playing Kristen on the mini-series caused a bit of confusion for Haiduk initially.
"At first, I was a little like, 'What's going on?' And it was hard but I get what they were doing and I understand it and I really love Eileen," Haiduk told Soap Opera Digest. "I think she's a wonderful woman and actress, so I get why they did what they did."
Still, Haiduk admitted she needed a little bit of reassurance that she could also return to the soap one day, as she frequently has since assuming the part three years ago.
"I had to call the producer and say, 'Uh, is Eileen coming back?' and he was like, 'Yes, yes, she is, but not in the way that you think she is,'" Haiduk explained. "So there was this panic that I went through because it was like, 'No, I don't want to not play Kristen,' because I really, really enjoy it. But I knew exactly what they were going for and I hope it was a success!"
