Eileen Davidson Responds to Kyle Richards' Request to Return to RHOBH

Kyle Richards has been a part of every season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and there's one 'Wife in particular who she wants to pick up a diamond again: Eileen Davidson.
She revealed as much during a panel for Bravo's Fan Fest 2024 in Miami on November 23 (which also aired as an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen) after being asked which alum she would like to see back on RHOBH.
"You know who I've been thinking about a lot lately is Eileen," the mom of four said about the soap opera actress. "I love Eileen! I love Eileen, yeah."
Eileen later responded to Kyle's comment in a statement to Daily Mail. "That is so kind," she told the outlet. "I love Kyle, and it’s nice to be missed."
When was Eileen Davidson a cast member on RHOBH?
Eileen appeared as a 'Wife on Seasons 5 through 7 of the show. She later popped up as a guest on Seasons 8 and 10.
Why did Eileen Davidson leave RHOBH?
Eileen confirmed her departure from RHOBH in an exclusive statement to The Daily Dish in 2017.
"After a lot of careful thought, I've decided because of my crazy schedules at The Young and The Restless, as well as Days of Our Lives, it's best for me and my family if I step away from being a Housewife for now," she said. "But you never know, I might be popping in from time to time just to see what the ladies are up to! Thanks for your love and support guys!!!"
Eileen Davidson's life after RHOBH
Since she last popped up on the show in 2020, Eileen has continued her role as Ashley Abbott on The Young and the Restless.
She also kept appearing on Days of Our Lives, but her last credit from the daytime series was in 2023.
In addition, Eileen has starred in a series of TV movies in recent years, including Middleton Christmas (2020), Days of Our Lives: A Very Salem Christmas (2021), and Netflix's Holiday in the Vineyards (2023).
Outside of her acting career, Eileen shares highlights from her marriage to Vincent Van Patten on Instagram.
After volunteering together for the LA Mission on Thanksgiving Day 2024, Eileen shed some light on her husband's newest and most passionate hobby: pickleball.
Vince has gotten so into the sport that he's been bringing Eileen out to play in the early morning (and when its cold out). "We're just a couple of weirdos that we're here at eight in the morning..." Eileen said in an Instagram video posted on December 2, which she said happened to be a 22 degree day. "I mean, there's nobody here. It's just the two of us."
