A Trip Down Memory Lane - June 11

On this day in 1982, Eileen Davidson made her soap opera debut in the role of Ashley Abbott on The Young and the Restless. Davidson originated the role, beating out more than 100 other candidates. She quit the show in 1988 and the producers took her recommendation of hiring a look-alike actress named Brenda Epperson, whom Davidson had discovered waiting tables at a charity function.

In 1991 - Roscoe Born made his final appearance in the role of Robert Barr on Santa Barbara. A year earlier, Born received a Daytime Emmy nomination for his work on the show. He would go on to play roles in many more soap operas, including Nick Rivers on The City, Tom Fisher on Y&R and Mitch Laurence on One Life To Live.

In 2009 - Rachel Melvin aired in the role of Chelsea Brady for the last time on Days of our Lives. Originally, DAYS had cast Melvin in the role of Georgia LaMarque, a French girl whom Bo and Billie had been falsely led to believe was their daughter. The character only appeared in five episodes and months later, Melvin took over the role of Chelsea. Melvin made a brief guest return in late 2023 for a special storyline honoring Chelsea's grandfather, Victor.
