‘Real Housewives’ and ‘Young and Restless” Eileen Davidson is Back at Work After Cold Plunge Injury — With Revealing Photo

Eileen Davidson is a trooper and has the photos to prove it. Last week, she revealed to fans that she had slipped while exiting a cold plunge bath and fractured her kneecap. Now, she is back at work on The Young and the Restless and is thanking her husband, Vince Van Patten, and coworkers, for helping her get there.

On September 18, Davidson revealed the news of her cold plunge accident with a humorous post, taking the injury in stride.

“I sure won’t be making those moves anytime soon!” she wrote, alongside a series of photos of her getting low with her dance moves and another of her injury. “Slipped getting out of a cold plunge and fractured my patella. I’m gonna be down for the count for quite a few weeks recovering from surgery. Thanks to the EMTs and the great team at @losrobleshospital.”

Six days later, Davidson took to Instagram once again to announce that she was back at work as Ashley Abbott, while thanking her coalso showing off her cast that is now part of her wardrobe.

“Apparently it’s true,” she said. “The show must go on! Thank you @laurenmendozahair and @makeupbyorlando and @mandiline and @tmlorito and the whole team at @youngandrestlesscbs for helping me pull it all together and special thanks to @mel_ordway for logistical stuff! Oh and @vince_van_patten for transpo and carrying things and feeding me and everything else.”

Davidson’s fellow soap stars chimed in with well-wishes, including Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis, General Hospital), who wrote, “Oh, honey. Sending bone love.”

Eric Martsolf, who played Davidson’s love interest, Brady Black, on Days of our Lives, when she was Kristen DiMera, wrote: “Happy healing, friend.”

Davidson’s Ashley has not been seen on screen much over the last few months, but with the Abbotts coming to the forefront for a wedding in October, we expect to see Ashley make an appearance to see her brother marry.
