Christopher Sean as Paul Narita, Drake Hogestyn as John Black (“Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem”) Photo by Evans Vestal Ward/Peacock We start out with John Black (Drake Hogestyn) enjoying a reunion with his son, Paul Narita (Christopher Sean), in San Francisco during a pride celebration taking place at Paul’s apartment. John and Paul are shown sporting rainbow attire resembling the colors of the pride flag as John works on a beer keg in mid-conversation with one of Paul’s guests. Abigail Klein as Stephanie Johnson, Stephen Nichols as Steve Johnson, Mary Beth Evans as Kayla Johnson (“Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem”) Photo by Evans Vestal Ward/Peacock Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) is then shown in the hospital with several noticeable cuts to her face while her brothers Joey (Tanner Stine) and Tripp (Lucas Adams) deal with the elusive Wendy Shin (Victoria Grace). Look for Stephanie to be visited by her equally bruised-in-the-face father, Steve (Stephen Nichols), and her mother, Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), among others. Tanner Stine as Joey Johnson, Victoria Grace as Wendy, Lucas Adams as Tripp Johnson (“Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem”) Photo by Evans Vestal Ward/Peacock Now in Montreal, Hope Williams Brady (Kristian Alfonso) reunites with her daughter, Ciara (Victoria Konefal), who just gave birth to Hope’s grandson, Beauregard “Bo” Brady Weston. In the show’s third episode, Hope tries to reassure Ciara who is concerned about what her mother’s been up to in the two years since they last saw each other. Also in the episode, the promise of a night of fun and adventure awaits as several Salemites are invited to Hong Kong for the Dimera Enterprises Gala Event at the Waterfront Hong Kong Hotel, including Paul who invites Andrew Donovan (Colton Little). Speaking of Paul and Andrew, the two share several moments together in the hot tub and at the gym.

ARTICLE: Daytime Broadcast Ratings for the Week of June 20-24, 2022
The week of June 20-24, 2022 was another brutal one for daytime broadcast with further losses among Total Viewers for most shows, particularly “The Young and the Restless” (3.048 million) and “Days of our Lives” (1.535 million), caused by numerous preemptions as a result of ongoing news coverage of the January 6th Committee hearings on the 2021 Capitol Assault. Daytime’s top drama lost the most viewers week to week, down -225,000 viewers, and was also down year to year for the first time in ages. Compared to the same week last year, the soap had the second-largest viewership drop among all daytime broadcast shows with a dip of -220,000. The second half-hour of “Let’s Make a Deal” (2.456 million) managed to also lose viewers week to week, down -112,000 viewers, and had the biggest overall loss across daytime broadcast year to year, down -267,000 viewers. Despite remaining under three million viewers for the second consecutive week, “The Bold and the Beautiful” (2.918 million) actually gained viewers over the prior week, up +171,000 viewers, and was one of few shows to see an uptick year to year, up +42,000 viewers. In fact, the soap is also up compared to its rerun-filled week in 2020, gaining +1.364 million viewers, making it one of only two daytime broadcast shows to be up week to week, year to year, and up from its performance in 2020. Further, there were just 130,000 viewers separating third place “Y&R” and fourth place “B&B” among Total Viewers (3.048 million vs 2.918 million). “General Hospital” (2.060 million) aired just three episodes for the week which included the show’s 15,000th episode. The soap was down -87,000 viewers week to week and down -216,000 viewers compared to the same week last year. Meanwhile, “The View” (2.199 million) saw a small drop in viewers week to week, down -11,000 viewers, and another -63,000 viewers compared to the same week last year. “Days of our Lives” lost -188,000 viewers week to week, the first full week in which the show aired five episodes after being preempted for sports coverage the two prior weeks. The soap was up slightly from its series low last year, gaining +46,000 viewers year to year. “The Talk” (1.458 million) remains ahead of “TODAY with Hoda & Jenna (1.336 million) in Total Viewers, and has seen overall increases week to week (+69,000 viewers), year to year (+176,000 viewers) and over its performance in 2020 (+143,000 viewers), making it the only other daytime broadcast series to see an uptick in viewers in the aforementioned categories. Despite the increases, however, the show’s viewership remains on the low side. What follows is a breakdown of how the daytime broadcast shows performed during the week of June 20-24, 2022 in Women 18-49 rating, Women 25-54 rating, Households and Total Viewers, including a look at their comparable performance in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

ARTICLE: Peacock Releases Key Art + Official Trailer for ‘Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem’ Chapter 2
Peacock is ready to unveil the next chapter of the “Days of our Lives” spinoff series “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem.” The streaming service today released the official trailer and key art for the show’s five-episode second season which drops daily beginning Monday, July 11 through Friday, July 15. In the minute-long trailer, we stumble upon Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and John Black (Drake Hogestyn) tied up in a room planning their escape which likely takes place later in the plot as we’re then shown scenes of Steve appearing alongside Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) as they pay a visit to their children in Seattle, including Stephanie and Joey (Abigail Klein and Tanner Stine), and Tripp (Lucas Adams) who Steve had from a prior encounter with Ava (Tamara Braun). Earlier this month on the parent series, Tripp left Salem with plans to connect with his siblings. Meanwhile, for the first time in two years, Hope Williams Brady (Kristian Alfonso) is reunited with her daughter, Ciara (Victoria Konefal), and for the first time ever is introduced to her grandchild, Beauregard “Bo” Brady Weston. Also shown is Harris Michaels (Steve Burton) who has been MIA for more than 34 years but somehow pops in with ties to Hope while appearing in several disguises, including as a Naval officer, a pizza delivery man, a police officer, and a secret government spy. Ciara is later heard asking Hope who is at the door when we’re shown a stern-faced Harris standing opposite a stunned Hope. Their encounter is set to take place in Montreal. Leaving Salem in November 2018 after learning Will (Chandler Massey) still had feelings for Sonny (then played by Freddie Smith), Paul (Christopher Sean) is back in San Francisco and this time it looks like he’ll be finding love again. Appearing in a fitness gym locker room, Andrew Donovan (Colton Little) is seen asking Paul, “How are you on frequent flier miles?” Andrew is the eldest son of Kimberly and Shane Donovan and hasn’t been seen or heard from since at least 1997. Paul is the son of John Black from a prior relationship with Tori Narita. Look for John to travel to San Francisco to see his son. With the next chapter promising old favorites and brand new faces, the globe-trotting adventure jumps from Montreal to Monte Carlo and to Hong Kong, among other popular destinations, as viewers are pushed even further beyond Salem where the past and present collide for the ultimate “Days of our Lives” event. The trailer includes an appearance by Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) who wonders what his “fancy face” is up to when Hope is shown pulling out a top secret folder with the ISA logo on the front. Bo died a few years ago but recently appeared as an Angel to help save Tripp’s life after the young man had sacrificed himself to help rid the town of the Devil. Also shown is Angela (Loretta Devine), an angel who interacts with Bo and is none too pleased with his recent actions. Gabi and Li (Camila Banus and Remington Hoffman) get busy on the top floor of a high-rise tower while Kristen (Eileen Davidson) is shown being her normal sneaky self. Look for Joey and Tripp to place their bets when their encounter with Wendy Shin (Victoria Grace) goes from catching a mystery person off guard to them putting all their cards on the table for some fun and games. Lastly, Harris can be seen holding his own mystery person at gunpoint on the open seas. With a mix of sex, gambling and heaven, John and Steve prepare to take on the big bad villain when Steve proclaims, “Now, let’s get to work.” And so begins another chapter of “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem.” Watch the official trailer below. As shown in the official key art below with the “B” and “H” weddings rings, the overall plot will center on Bo and Hope and their decades-long relationship in a tale filled with larger-than-life romance, jaw-dropping twists, and high-stakes drama that all connects back to a memorable plot that originated on “Days of our Lives” long ago. Check out the official key art below. Courtesy of Peacock For more information on how to stream “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem,” or to register/subscribe in advance, visit PeacockTV.com.

ARTICLE: Mishael Morgan Calls Historic Daytime Emmy Win “Incredible” During Appearance on ‘The Talk’
Winning the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Drama Series: Actress during Friday’s telecast of “The 49th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards,” the first-ever by a Black actress, “The Young and the Restless” star Mishael Morgan appeared on the Monday, June 27 episode of “The Talk” to discuss her historic win, saying “it’s been incredible” since taking home the coveted statue. Speaking with the show’s hosts, Morgan noted her win “means everything,” adding, “It means that my hard work has paid off. And I feel like, when I was a kid, my dad always told me, you need to be 10 times better because you’re black, just to be seen as equal. And I hope this step forward shows that we can be equal. We’re getting to a place where more of us can just be our best and that’s enough.” When asked by Sheryl Underwood if she ever believed as a little girl that she’d be holding such an award, Morgan said, “When I was a little girl I was an immigrant, and that means that you need to pick a job and a dream that is stable, and I was going to be an attorney…and God intervened and I decided to become an actor and I didn’t understand why, and then, I really truly think it’s because storytellers, they have a way impacting and changing, influencing a world so much faster.” Following her big night, Morgan shared how she celebrated her win, telling Akbar Gbajabiamila, “A lot of alcohol was involved…had a little after party and a lot of pizza back the hotel room with a bunch of friends.” Morgan’s appearance on the talk show concluded with a champagne toast by the show’s hosts celebrating her win.

ARTICLE: Preemptions Expected Following Surprise January 6th Committee Hearing
As has been the case in recent weeks, fans of “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “General Hospital” should expect their favorite soaps to be preempted all or in part on Tuesday, June 28 due to a previously unscheduled January 6th Committee hearing. “The Young and the Restless” is likely to air the first half of an all-new episode before CBS News breaks in with live coverage at 1:00 p.m. ET., similar to what was done on Thursday, June 16. The unscheduled hearing comes as Congress is out of session and the committee had indicated they would be on a break until the legislative branch returned. Additionally, it’s being reported that the hearing will allow the committee to “present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony.” No other specific details have been made available, however, it’s been noted by other outlets that after last week’s report that documentarian Alex Holder had exclusive footage for his Discovery+ docuseries “Unprecedented,” which includes unique access to former President Donald Trump and his immediate family during the Capitol Assault, the committee will screen portions of the documentary to determine its value in its investigation. A trailer for the documentary can be seen below. According to CBS, Norah O’Donnell (“CBS Evening News”) will once again anchor the network’s coverage which will be aired nationally beginning at 1:00 p.m. ET and on CBS News Streaming. Joining O’Donnell for the coverage are chief political analyst John Dickerson, chief election & campaign correspondent Robert Costa, chief national affairs and justice correspondent Jeff Pegues, congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane and political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns. Considering “Days of our Lives” airs at noon in some major markets, including New York’s WNBC, an all-new episode of the daytime drama series is expected to air without interruption. In time zones impacted by NBC News coverage of the hearings, viewers will be able to watch the episode in its entirety on Peacock or NBC On Demand. Meanwhile, the June 16 preemption of “B&B” and “GH” left their respective networks to slot a repeat episode for time zones not impacted by CBS News or ABC News coverage. Another preemption occurred on Tuesday, June 21 for both shows which resulted in episodes being pushed to the next day. Only “GH” was preempted on Thursday, June 23 despite the committee moving that day’s hearing to 3:00 p.m. ET — in many major markets, including New York’s WABC, the soap airs at that time. “The Talk” is expected to air an all-new episode in time zones not impacted by preemptions. For markets where the talk show isn’t shown, viewers can watch the episode in its entirety on the CBS App, Paramount+ and CBS On Demand.

LATEST RATINGS: June 13-17, 2022
Yup. I did. I added up the cost of air fare, hotel, rental car and gas, and it didn't make sense at all. I'm happy I did it this way (even though I arrived the day of the Emmys) because I had always wanted to do a cross country drive and there were things I wanted to bring with me that I couldn't bring on a plane, or, if I could, I'd be afraid they'd break or steal it such as camera equipment and stuff like that. Gas prices are okay if you don't go anywhere. LOL. Just staying in the hotel for now. We'll see where things go in a few days. The cheapest gas I saw was $4.49 and the most expensive was $5.18. Now that I'm in LA, I do see where it's maybe $6.39 and higher. I paid $6.99 at the last rest stop I went to after arriving in CA.

LATEST RATINGS: June 13-17, 2022
It's accurate, sadly. Mostly due to news coverage so it's not such a big deal. We'll get a clearer picture of how the show is doing starting the week of June 27 since there shouldn't be anymore preemptions that I'm currently aware of. As for Daytime Broadcast Ratings, yes, they got delayed on my end. They should be up later today, however. I drove cross country from NY to LA so there wouldn't be any feasible way for me to post articles and drive, LOL. Not legally, anyway. Look for SON's coverage of the Emmys to come out starting today and throughout the upcoming week. Got some great stuff coming.

ARTICLE: Peter Bergman Signs Five-Year Deal to Continue Playing Jack Abbott on ‘The Young and the Restless’
Sony Pictures Television, producer of “The Young and the Restless,” has signed actor Peter Bergman to a new five-year contract which will keep him in Genoa City as the character Jack Abbott, a role he has played on the daytime drama series since 1989. According to Deadline, which first reported the news, Bergman’s deal is a rare one as soaps typically hand out one to four-year contracts while Bergman’s is for five. In fact, Bergman is now signed on for a period longer than the show itself. In January 2020, CBS renewed the soap for an additional four years which will keep the series on the network through the 2023-2024 television season – it’s expected that the show will receive another significant renewal deal before the current one expires as the show remains the most-watched daily scripted series on American television and the most-watched daytime drama series overall. The soap has remained number one for 34 years. Receiving 24 Daytime Emmy Award nominations throughout his career in the category of Outstanding Lead Performance In A Drama Series: Actor, including last night’s presentation, Bergman won in 1991, 1992, and 2002 for his portrayal of Jack Abbott on “Y&R.” He received his first nomination in 1983 for his portrayal as Dr. Cliff Warner on “All My Children” (1979-1989). In addition to “Y&R,” Bergman has played himself or Jack Abbott on other television shows, including “The Nanny,” “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The King of Queens.” In 2015, he played a dual role for the first time on “Y&R,” appearing as Jack and Marco Annicelli who was hired by Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) to take over the real Jack’s life.

Preemptions due to hearings
Well I'm of the impression the 15,000th show will be preempted again and instead air on Wednesday, June 22. Even noted that in my article on it. ABC (for now) is insisting it'll be the 21st. Other than the 15,000th show, I expect that on Thursday ABC will air GH at its regular 2:00 p.m. slot so not an official preemption except for those markets airing the show at it 3:00 p.m. like NY. It'll probably air overnight, or just be made available on Hulu and ABC On Demand without a login required. https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2022/06/general-hospital-preemption-shifts-episodes

ARTICLE: Marci Miller on ‘Days of our Lives’ Exit: “It’s Time to Do Some Other Things”
“Days of our Lives” fans were shocked when the series killed off Abigail Deveraux DiMera in recent episodes, spurring a summer murder mystery storyline with several suspects in the running as the culprit, some more obvious than others. Following an interview with head writer Ron Carlivaiti last week where he explained the show’s reasoning for killing the character off, portrayer Marci Miller is now speaking out in a candid interview with Soap Opera Digest in the magazine’s newest issue, on newsstands now, where she shares why she decided to leave the series, what’s next for her and her career, and what she’ll miss the most. “I like to do other things,” Miller says to Digest. “I like to dabble in other things like films and play other characters. I’m not really at a point in my life where I’m ready to say, ‘Hey, I’m going to play Abby DiMera for 20 years, and that’s what I’m going to do.’ It’s really hard for the show to accommodate that and make space for that.” Revealing how she’s had to decline other acting opportunities due to being on contract at “DAYS,” Miller notes, “There were a couple of times last year where I was offered a couple of films that I’d auditioned for and unfortunately had to turn them down after I’d worked to get them because the show couldn’t accommodate.” She points out, “The show wasn’t doing anything wrong. You sign a contract, they buy your time, and that’s the gig. They’ve got things they need to do, too. Since I can’t make both [work] I have to pick and choose as I go through various chapters in my life. That was it. I was like, ‘Okay, I’ve got to go. It’s time to go do some other things for a while.” Miller offered to continue playing the character but only in a recurring capacity. “I was interested in and willing to recur and make space for that,” she states. “I don’t think they felt that was going to work for them. They couldn’t do the recurring thing with that particular character, and I think they felt like if they let me do it, they would have to let everybody do it. We tried to meet in the middle. They tried to give me options, but my team and agents didn’t dig it. So it was hard. We couldn’t find common ground that worked for both of us, unfortunately. We all wanted to.” As noted by Carlivati in conversation with Digest in a previous issue, the show needed an actress full-time and on contract for the role. Pointing out that with Miller unavailable, and previous portrayer Kate Mansi only willing to play the character part-time as well, the only option from the show’s perspective was to kill off the character. “Kate has been willing to come back, but may not necessarily want to come back on contract, so you risk being in the exact same position that then Kate leaves and what do we do?” questioned Carlivati. “Then the option would be to recast yet again with someone who maybe is willing to be here on a more permanent basis, but then you’re dealing with a new face. We’ve been very lucky in recasting Abigail, but you don’t always know if that’s going to work. So ultimately, we decided to kill the character.” While Miller would have preferred that the show recast instead, ultimately the decision was made and Miller played the character’s final moments alive. As word of the character’s demise trickled throughout the studio, some of Miller’s co-stars were shocked to learn what was about to happen on the show, including Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans) who Miller says commented to her, “‘I feel like somebody really died here.’” Meanwhile, one of the things Miller will miss most is working alongside Billy Flynn who plays Abby’s husband, Chad DiMera. “I love to work with Billy; I expect to work with him for the rest of my life, whether it’s as Chad and Abby or somebody else.” Billy Flynn, Marci Miller (“Days of our Lives”) Photo by XJJohnson/JPI Studios To read more about what Miller has to say about her “Days of our Lives” exit, check out the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, on newsstands now. You can also hear her speak with the magazine’s editors in the latest edition of the “Dishing with Digest” podcast. This year, Miller is up for the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Abby. She was previously nominated in the same category in 2018 and 2019.

ARTICLE: Rebecca Herbst Addresses ‘General Hospital’ Rumor Mill: “I Haven’t Been Fired, I’m Not on Vacation”
When Elizabeth became a patient of Shadybrook last month it resulted in less screen time for portrayer Rebecca Herbst on “General Hospital.” Since then, rumors have swirled online that Herbst had either been fired or is in the middle of intense contract negotiations with the daytime drama series, among other alleged reasons for her on-screen absence. In a tweet on Friday, Herbst shut down some of the speculations, stating that not only has she not been fired, but she also isn’t on vacation and she doesn’t have Covid. She says, “Well, hello there…just thought I’d shut down some rumors that have been circulating: I haven’t been fired. I’m not on vacation. I don’t have covid. My kids don’t keep me from working. Nor do I have cramps (the best one yet). I hope you all have a great weekend! XOXO” At press time, Herbst’s tweet has amassed over 1,400 likes, 220+ retweets and nearly 200 replies from fans. One user tweeted in response, “So you DID join the Space Force Reserve! (It’s like the Army Reserve, but for the Space Force. But then, you obviously already know that.)” That tweet generated a “rolling on the floor laughing” emoji response from Herbst. Prior to the Friday, June 17 tweet, the last time Herbst posted on the social media platform was in mid-May when she said, “I just finished reading all my sweet B-day wishes!! TY all so much for the beautiful flowers & dozens upon dozens of cupcakes I got to share with my GH family as well as my crew at home. And the #12DaysofBecky was a fun walk down memory lane…TY from the bottom of my heart.” Herbst celebrated her birthday on May 12. In addition to squashing the rumor mill herself, Herbst was part of the official cast photo which was taken during last month’s taping of the show’s 15,000th episode that is now currently scheduled to air on Tuesday, June 21 following Thursday’s national preemption. Herbst was also photographed alongside co-star Genie Francis whose character plays a central role in the special standalone episode’s overall plot when the town of Port Charles rallies around Laura Collins.

ARTICLE: ABC News Presents ‘Behind The Table: A View Reunion’, a Hulu Original Special with Joy Behar, Meredith Vieira, Star Jones and Debbie Matenopoulos
The original co-hosts of “The View” will be taking part in the Hulu Original “Behind The Table: A View Reunion,” which gives an insiders look from the Essex House hotel in New York City where current and original co-host Joy Behar, the show’s first moderator Meredith Vieira and original panelists Star Jones and Debbie Matenopoulos auditioned 25 years ago. The 30-minute special will stream exclusively on Hulu beginning Monday, June 20. Thanks to their contribution, “The View” has been dubbed “the most important political TV show in America” by The New York Times, and so the four women Barbara Walters chose to join her at the Hot Topics table in 1997 reunite for a candid conversation about the talk show that has been making headlines since Walters first uttered the phrase, “I had this idea for a show.” In the special, the ladies look back on what it was like to work with the legendary broadcaster, discuss some of their famous exits from the show and share their biggest regrets and the moments that bonded them behind the scenes. “This Is Us!!! So great having dinner and catching up with my very first TV sisters for @theviewabc 25th year reunion special shoot,” shared Matenopoulos on Instagram last month which included a photo of the group having dinner. “There can only ever be one first… and that was us! It’s like we hadn’t missed a beat. If you know…you know!!! Take a little time to enjoy THIS original View everyone!” In response, her former “Home & Family” co-host and current “General Hospital” cast member Cameron Mathison said, “This team … I remember being one of your first guests.” At the time Mathison worked across the hall at “All My Children” when it was common for soap actors to appear on the talk show. Currently in its 25th season, “The View” panel consists of Whoopi Goldberg, the aforementioned Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, and Ana Navarro. The series airs weekdays at 11:00 a.m ET on ABC.
