So, I take it that it isn't worth to be on Premium?

I get all this but Peacock was shady as hell. They didn't release a statement saying it was a premium service. I thought this would be free too. It took a lot of people off guard. I just don't like the blatant dishonesty from Peacock.
Thank You! Tell the viewers it's only available via Peacock Premium.

This sucks! Why wasn't this revealed in their initial press release? Bad move by Peacock.
Exactly! It should be free via ads like the OG Beyond Salem is. I wonder is this going to be permanent, or will this change?

Enjoying all your takes on the show.
It is interesting to look at this and the decisions that were made in rebooting.
The time given over to discussing Samantha and what went wrong and how Carrie felt was an interesting choice as it drew attention to the fact she wasn't there rather than just a quick 'Samantha is living it up in London'
Introducing all the new characters and have them all being 'diverse' seemed a little desperate in trying to be relevant.
Would Carrie really want to do a podcast with those two and would they really be interested in having her on?
And then Carrie was blasted by Che (?) and took it to heart instead of just giving it the eyeroll it deserved.
Miranda's clutzy faux pas with the professor and the equally painful follow up was cringey. Miranda was a high powered lawyer FFS and knows how to handle herself.
Everything had to be explained eg Big and Carrie and the music. 'We started doing this during lockdown etc '
Overall,I thought the tone was wrong. These successful wealthy women wouldn't really be so concerned with being 'out of touch'. Either they wouldn't give a damn, or have managed to take stuff on board over the years.
Like you said Carrie should be hosting her own podcast. Perhaps Che could've been a producer of the series who tells Carrie they need more of a diverse audience, so she needs to step it up some.
If anything, I would rather see Miranda starting her own law firm that specializes in civil rights. And Charlotte should've been the one who decides to go back to school or decides to open her own art gallery. Realizing that both Lily and Rose our getting older and won't need her much anymore.
I doubt Carrie Bradshaw was bringing in a lot of revenue for Samantha's PR firm. They should've just said Samantha is expanding her business in London and let that be it.
I did like the series adding music from the first movie with Big/Carrie. Though like many other viewers were wanting Carrie to call 911 or get his nitro out of the drawer to help save his life.

Amazon's Harlem had guest appearances made by Tamara "I Stay Booked and Busy" Tunie (ex-Jessica - ATWT) playing one of the male lead's mother and Anna Kathryn Holbrook (ex-Sharlene Frame Hudson - Another World) playing an investor.

I'd assume they're using the wig so that people her alikeness is closer to Hunter Tylo. Hopefully they'll ditch it soon enough and just say Taylor had a haircut.
They could've had Taylor be like "I decided that it was a time for a change." regarding the haircut. We didn't need the wig off last summer's mannequin Brad.

I don’t buy MS’s Phyllis and Amanda as friends *at all*.
I don't either. I prefer Mishael and Gina's chemistry as friends.
1 hour ago, Faulkner said:I could not agree more, but it feels like the remaining mostly older audience is sticking around because they enjoy the familiarity. I feel like Y&R’s cast of characters is beyond played out. The Newman family could not be more boring to me.
Even though I think Mal Young was the wrong person for this show. He had the right idea by getting rid of Chelsea, Kevin, and Chloe. Though I'm still cross at him for getting rid of Mishael Morgan.

She does have a new movie to promote and Cowboy Bebop just got cancelled, so her schedule may be a bit lighter these days.

Saw this and Lisa says this is why Nancy didn't participate
Whelchel said that it wasn't that McKeon didn't want to participate, it's simply that she couldn't due to her recent life circumstances. "Nancy was home and they just recently moved and her kids just got into school, so it was difficult for her to make the trip out," Whelchel said of McKeon's absence.
Luckily, she keeps in touch with her former co-stars. "We have a little group thread we call the 'sisters thread,'" she said. She even joked with Bush when he asked how much each star relates to their characters. Bush asked: "How much is Nancy like Jo?" Whelchel dished, "She is as much like Jo as I am like Blair, which is very little!"
If I recall I believe Nancy is/was living in Texas. Though I wonder did she move to another state?
Which shows would you like them to tackle on next?

I'm always amazed that Rey has lasted as long as he has.
They need to write him off either by death or divorce.

I very distinctly remember - not distinctly enough to remember who unfortunately - a soap actress who had just given birth to a baby refusing to play a dramatic storyline involving the loss of the baby when she came back or something. Maybe she even quit? Does this ring a bell to anyone?
This must feel odd but I imagine it is probably worse the other way around. Imagine your real-life pregnancy being written in and then you lose the baby and you either have to play the entire pregnancy to the end or play yourself losing the baby like you did in real life. Awful.
I recall that when Katey Sagal's baby was tragically stillborn, Married with Children just turned all the entire pregnancy storyline episodes into a dream sequence so she wouldn't have to have to deal with anything having to do with it once she came back.
That happened with Noelle Beck on Loving. She was pregnant and refused to play the scenes with Trisha having a stillborn baby. It also happened with McKenzie Westmore (ex-Sheridan Crane - Passions) In real life she had a miscarriage but had to continue being trapped in a pit for MONTHS as her character was pregnant.
A month or so ago I watched a TV movie from 1991 on Tubi with Katey Sagal and Charlotte Ross in which Katey's real-life pregnancy that was on Married with Children was written in the movie too.

If only we had the benefit of a good interviewer but I will still tune in because I always look forward to seeing Tamara Tunie. It's a shame that this channel doesn't even get half the views it did last year, Eileen Fulton deserved more views for her reunion episode and so will Tunie.
I wonder what finally convinced her to do it. Since I heard she had turned him down twice. I'm curiously optimistic about this interview.

I mentioned this in the article: https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2021/12/peacock-official-trailer-days-of-our-lives-a-very-salem-christmas
In addition to Massey, Tinker, Hogestyn, Davidson, Berris and Banus, the cast includes Deidre Hall, Jackée Harry, Arianne Zucker, Raven Bowens, Eric Martsolf, Billy Flynn, Paul Telfer, Lindsay Arnold, Lucas Adams, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel, and Alison Sweeney. Also, look for a surprise appearance by another fan favorite that you’ll only see when the movie begins streaming on Thursday, December 16, exclusively on Peacock.

Thanks. I have a few guesses I keep to myself.

I think "DAYS" fans will really like the movie overall. I'll say more next week.
Are there any cameos in this movie from actors we don't know of?

Is it a recent development that soaps stopped addressing age gaps in relationships? I feel like 20 years ago the age gap between Jack and Sally would have been the crux of their relationship (maybe it was, I don't watch) but from what I can tell it was more about people disliking her or whatever.
I was waiting forever for them to mention that. I mean let's recall Jack was a Harvard grad when Soul Train first premiered.

Did Victor call that little baby “Dominique”?
Glad I wasn’t hearing things:
It did sound like he said "Dominique"

Ana-Alicia don't crack!
I wish HBO Max would stream Falcon Crest, Dallas, and Knots Landing.
