ARTICLE: Peacock Orders Second Chapter of ‘Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem,’ Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell to Reprise Roles
Just one of many reasons why DAYS has become such a joke. How can you get the audience to invest in anything emotionally when they know even on-screen deaths can be reversed? Ron Carlivati might not want us to take it all seriously, but we still have to know there are ground rules.

Chances are, Josh will have Diane pass through Adam and (for the second time) Nick before getting killed again.

The Spin Off Thread
Thanks for posting, @Franko. I thought Deidre had a cameo appearance in that episode, but I wasn't sure until just now. It's another one of Linda Bloodworth-Thomason's patented "men vs. women" diatribes that assumes men and women are monolithic, with all men thinking alike, and all women thinking alike as well. Which is not to say it wasn't annoying on "Designing Women," because it was, but at least you had Dixie Carter's ability to deliver the hell out of Julia Sugarbaker's long-winded speeches to make those scenes worthwhile. And IDK why, because I don't think any of those things happened to Val on KL, but why do I feel like JVA is subtly speaking about her time on that show, lol? And WTH are Marilyn McCoo and Carol Burnett doing at a Senate hearing on the exploitation of women in film and television?

Oh, well. Maybe Tessa and Mariah will walk down the aisle to "Bless the Beasts and Children." Yeah, I'm sure we're all waiting on the edge of our seats for Liam and Steffy's fourth wedding aboard Spencer Galactic's newest rocketship.

LOL!! Now I REALLY wish there was a Genoa City Slasher coming. Anything to take away the stench of a '70's-themed nuptials.

Y&R and B&B April (and late March) spoilers
A perfect day for the Genoa City Slasher to make his/her debut! And why in God's name are Teriah gonna subject everyone to a '70's-themed wedding? Like, who wants to attend THAT [!@#$%^&*]?

Bare Essence (1982-83)
I wouldn't say the BE miniseries was or is an example of GOOD writing, lol, but I do think it was overall more engrossing than what was coming from DYNASTY around that time.

Dynasty Discussion Thread
For me, the problem with the MP bombing was that I knew, even as a casual watcher, that the show would have to go to even MORE extreme lengths to top it, or else viewers would become bored with the show overall. Same thing with the Moldavian Massacre on DYNASTY. Once you have gunned down practically your entire cast in what amounts to a terrorist attack, where else is there to go?

The Spin Off Thread
Are you talking about "Women of the House"? Oh, that show was so painful to watch. There was absolutely no chemistry among Burke and her co-stars (Teri Garr, Patricia Heaton, Valerie Mahaffey (who had replaced Julie Hagerty, who returned only to quit and be replaced AGAIN by Mahaffey), and that godawful Lisa Rieffel); and the "Women in Film" episode, which featured cameos from a bunch of actresses playing themselves (including, I think, Deidre Hall), was probably Linda Bloodworth-Thomason at her most strident. It's interesting that CBS picked up ITHOTN, given how Carroll O'Connor swore never to work for the network again after they had cancelled "Archie Bunker's Place" without giving them an opportunity to do a true series finale. And all I can say about "The Golden Palace" at this point is that NBC was smart not to guarantee a full-season pickup for the show. Without Bea Arthur as Dorothy, the show just didn't stand a chance.

Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread
Don't get me wrong, I'm always fascinated by stories that pit mother against daughter for the same guy, because I've always believed that most mothers and daughters are competitive with each other by nature. But, something about the Michael/Kimberley/Rae triangle in particular always struck me as being a little TOO tawdry, especially for Claire Labine and Paul Avila Mayer.

DOOL: Promo week of 18 April
Interesting! Well, you know how I feel: any combination of characters killed off would be fine with me. Aside from Doug, John, Julie and Marlena, everyone on this show is expendable now. And I mean everyone.

Days of Our Lives: April 2022 Discussion Thread
Is that really Sarah's only purpose on this show? To walk around Salem and have people inject her with [!@#$%^&*]? I totally wish Sarah was faking her insanity and that she has an ulterior motive or two up her sleeve where Gwen is concerned.

Bare Essence (1982-83)
I don't think she did. But she should have! I could see her coming aboard DYNASTY, for example, as some long-ago love of Blake's, with love child in tow.

Y&R and B&B April (and late March) spoilers
Yeah, I'm with you, @Paul Raven. They'll probably have Victoria develop amnesia as a result of the accident. She won't remember all the terrible things that Ashland did to undermine her and her family's business. And everyone will agree that reminding her of the truth will only hamper her recovery. So...sigh...Ashland will get his opportunity to win back Victoria's love. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if it all ends with another, damn Newman spawn, lol. I don't blame MTS for checking out at this point. She probably doesn't even need the paycheck. She's just there, because it gives her something to do in between trips to Rodeo Drive. Even better, after Rey and Chelsea do the do, they are stabbed to death in their sleep by the Genoa City Slasher.

DOOL: Promo week of 18 April
True. I mean, you could send a serial killer, a natural disaster AND a deadly virus all to Port Charles, and that still would leave about 300 people in GH's cast. (Have we talked before about how ridiculously large GH's cast is?)

Y&R and B&B April (and late March) spoilers
Which proves Sally is dumber than a bag of hair. And Adam wondering whether he is a horrible person after all is like Blanche Devereaux on "The Golden Girls" wondering if Rose is right about her being self-centered. It's a mysterious individual who turns out to be the REAL Ashland Locke! (I'm kidding, I haven't a clue what she's talking about.)

B&B: Steffy Spoiler
I stand by one of my original ideas for the twist: pull back the curtain, so to speak, reveal that what we've been watching since March 23, 1987 is, in fact, a daytime soap opera called THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL; and then reboot B&B as a daytime drama that takes place entirely behind the scenes of a long-running daytime drama (also called B&B). We know KKL is good (well, mostly good) at playing Brooke Forrester, but how good is she at playing KKL, who plays Brooke Forrester on TV?

True. But, which would you rather watch: Val struggling with body dysmorphia, or Val struggling with a "brain virus"?
