‘Young and Restless’ and ‘Real Housewives’ Star Eileen Davidson Injured After Cold Plunge Accident
Eileen Davidson fractured her patella slipping out of a cold plunge and had surgery. Costars from Y&R and ‘Days of our Lives’ sent well wishes as she recovers.
Eileen Davidson, who has brought Ashley Abbott to life on The Young and the Restless off and on for more than four decades, recently took to Instagram to share what happened the last time she took a cold plunge.
“I sure won’t be making those moves anytime soon!” Davidson wrote, alongside a photo of herself dancing during her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills days. “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”
Davidson, who also played Kristen DiMera, Susan Banks, and all of Susan’s siblings on Days of our Lives, also shared a snap of her leg in a cast, as well as a photo of the swelling resulting from the injury.
Multiple former costars wished Davidson well, including DAYS’ Stephen Nichols (Steve Johnson), who wrote: “Oh, Eileen… so sorry! Get better soon. Sending love and healing vibes.” Y&R’s Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea Lawson) said, “Nooooooo😢 Sending huge hugs, love you!”
Y&R’s Lauralee Bell (Christine Romalotti) also sent well wishes to Davidson, saying, “Oh no!! So sorry! Speedy recovery! Heal well and in time knowing you you’ll get your groove back!”
Davidson has not been seen on screen on Y&R since July when Ashley returned to Genoa City after her brother, Jack (Peter Bergman), was stabbed. However, the actress recently shared some snaps from a recent Y&R photo shoot, hinting she will be seen on your Genoa City screens again before the end of the year.
