Depends on if they are following the various HWs on social media...

Exactly! Plus I seriously doubt the victims are dwelling on a conversation one of the HWs had over 3 years ago. The victims have bigger fish to fry without worrying about someone else's opinion of Erika.

Resurrecting this thread to post a pic of Eileen from her Y&R days, probably early ‘80s, that I found on Reddit.  She was, is, and always will be so pretty. She is about the only HW who I’ve liked. (Despite my criticism above from two years ago, LOL.)

I like Eileen, too. 
I don’t know how to justify Eileen continuing to support Erika. Maybe she just has an enormous heart and won’t cut off a friend when she’s down.

My mom worked the graveyard shift full-time as a registered nurse. She used to do housework with The Young & The Restless playing in the background. I got hooked!

I love how The Young & The Restless becomes must-see-TV for Michael Keaton in the movie Mr. Mom.

Y&R was not one of my top 2 soaps when I was watching back in the day, but it was one of my top 5. When it was good, it was really good.

Another Eileen fan, and yes she was and is beautiful. Can’t believe she is old enough to be my mother. I want her skin care routine!

My go-to was Ryan’s Hope. (❤️❤️❤️❤️ Kate Mulgrew…blows my mind that she was in her early 20s when it started.) I never really got into Y&R, but I did watch As The World Turns and Guiding Light. I would get sucked in over summer vacation, and then lose the plots when school started. (Pre VCR and DVR days.)  My mom wasn’t a big soaps person, but my dad, who was retired, got really into All My Children.

Yes, I’m old.

[Palimelon]

Guiding Light didn't make my top 5, but it still had it's good moments. All My Children though was definitely in my top 5.

[RealHousewife]

Thought I'd post a couple throwbacks.

 

[Starlight925]

I’m in my early 60’s.  I was so addicted to Y&R that I scheduled my college classes around it.

   I was, and still am, envious of Eileen’s beauty & grace.  Better with age.  And a seemingly very nice person to boot.

Gossip from CDAN:

334. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 09/25 **14**
The Welcome: This long time soap actress (Eileen Davidson) has also done reality television (“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills“). No, she is not married to a plastic surgeon. Anyway, our actress kept having to go from one show to the next over the years. She never stayed at one soap for very long and then would be on a different show and then go back to the one she had starred on previously (“The Young and the Restless“/“Santa Barbara“/”Days of Our Lives”/”Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem”/”The Bold and the Beautiful”). The reason was that she would literally sleep with any of her male co-stars who were not gay. She said it got the sexual tension out of the way right away and they could focus on acting. Invariably, this would cause some issue with her own significant others or the significant others of the actors she would hook up with and our actress would be shown the door. This went on for nearly two decades until one of her significant others (Vincent Van Patten) told her no more. She decided to abide by that. The significant other thought it was because of him, but in reality, the guys just were not as interested in her any longer and one producer at her longest running gig (“The Young and the Restless“), said she would probably be sued if she did it again. Eileen Davidson/”Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”/”The Young and the Restless/”Santa Barbara”/”Days of Our Lives”/”Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem”/”The Bold and the Beautiful”/Vincent Van Patten/”The Young and the Restless”

I didn't know of Eileen before she appeared on RHBH, but she did say that she met Vince while filming with him, so this doesn't sound far-fetched. Vince is husband #3, and her first 2 husbands were also actors. Maybe this is why she was so sensitive about  the word "affair".  

[RealHousewife]

Eileen is one of the few women I've actually heard of before watching RHOBH. The others were Denise, Garcelle, Rinna, and Kyle due to Paris Hilton. 

She's been open about how she and Vince met, but I don't buy this rumor. There's a vast difference between falling in love with someone else when you're married and sleeping with any straight guy you work with. 

I thought she was sensitive because Vanderpump wouldn't stop asking intrusive questions and was offended and chuckled when Eileen asked for an apology. Maybe unpopular opinion, but I was team Eileen there.

I'm a little suspicious of the rumor too.

I don’t know about the other stuff, but I was team Eileen too.  Lisa was very pointed in what she said, and then acted “who me?” innocent afterward.

I forgot how much Morgan’s numerous tattoos squick me out.

Yep, and not to get too OT, but Lisa had a pattern of that. Oops, no idea Scheana was with Eddie Cibrian, someone else took Dorit off the magazine cover, John wanted to bring up doggygate, etc. I like Lisa, but come on. No one accidentally stirs the pot that much!
