However, all good things must end, and I really wish you the best Eileen (Ashley) Davidson in all your endeavors.

Eileen Davidson is a talented actress and a real class act. She has played the part of Ashley Abbott beautifully off and on since 1982 with style, grace and depth. I know I will miss seeing Ashley on screen, especially in scenes with Peter Bergman(Jack) and Beth Maitland(Traci) which were always top notch. I expect for Eileen to pick up another Emmy nomination next year (and possible win). I wished Eileen would continue to stay but if the role needed to be recast, Brenda Epperson would be a wise choice.
