Eileen Davidson will be returning to The Young and the Restless for a three-day arc storyline beginning on Friday, December 28 and running through Wednesday, January 3.

The 48-year-old soap opera veteran will portraying her signature character, Ashley Abbott.

Davidson was cast on the long-running drama in 1982. As the original Ashley, Davidson was an integral part of show. After seven years of playing the character, though, she left The Young and the Restless in February 1989, which prompted the producers to continue featuring the character with a look-alike actress.

Following several appearances on primetime TV, Davidson returned to the soap world in the the role of Kelly Capwell on Santa Barbara; she then left and landed the part od Kristen Blake on Days of Our Lives in May 1993.

Five years later, Davidson came back to The Young and the Restless again... only to be released from the series due to lack of storylines for her character. She was last seen as Ashley on January 11.

In a surprise move three months later, Davidson signed a three-year contract with sister soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful, once more portraying Ashley Abbott, a role she continues to wow viewers with to this day.

Next week, you can look forward to the following story lines on The Young and the Restless:

• Nikki gets a new roommate: Sharon.

• Nikki sues Victor.

• We find out who the father of Victoria's (Amelia Heinle, pictured) baby is. Tension!

Forget the next couple episodes. Here's a look at what you can look forward to on The Young and the Restless early next year...

Victor and Nikki: Is it Really Over?
Although they are on the outs when it comes to their marriage, don't count these two out. They are still deeply in love with each other. Victor may not be so willing to let Nikki go to another man (David, in this case). Could this couple be on improved terms in the new year?

Phyllis and Nick: Where does her heart really lie?
Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) will let her guilty conscious get the better of her as she tries to stand by Jack during his time of need. Nick will not be at all pleased with her sudden need to lend support to the manipulative Abbott. There are a lot of unexpected things to come to light and the outcome will not only affect Jack, Phyllis and Nick, as other characters could come into play.

Whos' Baby Is It?
Brad and JT (Thad Luckinbill) will continue their power struggle over Victoria's baby. As the baby struggles to survive, Brad and JT will soon find themselves on an emotional rollercoaster. Once the paternity is revealed, the non-father will struggle big time.

Lily and Cane
Lily and Cane (Daniel Goddard) will continue to go closer to one another. But there are several people who do not want this relationship to take place. One of the main people who want the relationship to sink before it even begins? Amber.

It looks to be an intriguing week of episode on The Young and the Restless. Here are some looks at what you can expect:

• Jack is forced to resign his senate seat, while his marriage to Sharon (Sharon Case) begins to disintegrate.

• Colleen (Tammin Sursock, pictured) reaches out to a devastated J.T., as Victoria remains in a coma and the baby fights for his life.
