te.

I'm guessing those Hallmark movies could go into production sooner than anyone thought, so Sweeney's bye-bye again. Hopefully she'll end up doing at least a few more weeks when she returns to wrap everything up.

It was obvious when you look at all the clues. Although are we getting a Jeff in Space spin-off?

Well, in a few hours we find out...

It looks like an Instagram story and those automatically delete themselves in 24 hours unless you save them.

Same with fellow failed syndicated soap "Tribes" - both names makes me think of those syndicated low-budget adventure/action shows rather than soap opera.

The Langan teen period of early 2000s were horrible to be honest. It was also around this time they floated about doing a Saturday morning spin-off with Salem High.

I very much doubt that - her character in the Dark Shadows pilot was killed in a few scenes, so she wouldn't have been a cast member even if it was picked up. I just think Reilly wanted to kill one young person on the canvas and unfortunately Cassie was basically related to everyone at that point so it made sense to off her.

I agree - I can't see them recasting him just for the sake of it considering Will / Sonny might have two-three scenes in total on this considering all others appearing. I'm pretty sure Freddie was asked but for whatever reason he decided that his YouTube career was too successful; I'm guessing Tinker might end up a permanent replacement considering they still seem to want to use Will from time to time even if they don't need him fulltime on the canvas at the moment.

Sounds like the Aussie soap Pacific Drive to me. Not surprised that ideas about a daytime Melrose Place were floating around at the time. Shame that nothing came of it, but it probably would've been lucky to least more than a year.

Christie Clark and Austin Peck joining: https://tvline.com/2021/08/02/days-of-our-lives-spinoff-austin-peck-christie-clark-beyond-salem-cast/ Also... On Monday, Peacock also announced that Thaao Penghlis (André), Leann Hunley (Anna), Greg Rikaart (Leo), Chandler Massey (Will) and Zachary Atticus Tinker (Sonny) would be part of the spinoff.

Well, people called it, but Sonny has been officially been recast with Zachary Atticus Tinker for the Beyond Salem spin-off.

Actor not being the sharpest tool in the box, news at 11.

This sounds like someone got it mixed up with the rumor about what happened behind the scenes of Alice with Linda Lavin / Polly Holliday; Polly Holliday got more popular than Linda as her side character Flo, got a spin-off that failed and never returned. Rumor was that Linda Lavin blocked her from returning. I wouldn't be surprised if there's similar rumors every time a popular side character outshines the supposed lead and gets a spin-off that fails.

It's funny because he was obviously wrong here - if anything, the shows that don't begin as overly complicated were the ones that survived, even going to the 90s, it was Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place that survived. The shows that bit the dust were the ones that attempted to introduce 32 different plots before we got to know the characters properly.

Well, it's over a month away and it's not like they have a lot of special effects to do. I'm guessing the premiere date has to do with the plots on the show at that point. I mean, normal soaps usually shoots with just a few weeks behind, not eight months...

Lisa Rinna is the bigger name and will bring some curious eyeballs to the show on her own due to Housewives. Add that they might be able to include footage on the Housewives show and it's a win-win for all involved.

Could be? I mean, I get if he turned them down for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it part, especially if he's relocated to Florida as the money is not that good. Still, it would probably be good for his "brand" (whatever that is) to appear in it as he'd be able to get Instagram pictures with Lipsa et al. So.... yeah. Might be that he just wasn't asked.

You know things are bad when actually hiring extras is seen as a huge budget investment

Could be. The timing does seem a bit suspicious that he'd randomly announce that - if that's the case, I wonder if he was the one who said no, or if it's the show that wouldn't accomodate him.

The ratings for Dynasty isn't much worse than most of CW's programming considering it's airing late in the summer at 9PM on Fridays after another low-rated drama (Charmed). Most of their viewers just stream.

I'd guess Tudi Wiggins as Meg on Love of Life might make the best list? I've watched her on Strange Paradise and she plays devious very well and it makes me curious about how she did on Love of Life as it sounds like a good role for her.

That's great. Last Blast and Abby and Chad might not have had amazing production values, but it must've done well enough for Peacock to pick this up. Hopefully getting picked up by Peacock properly and not just the DAYS app means that they can at least have slightly better production values, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I don't mind Freddie either, even if he became lazy but then again so did Chandler Massey and the writing itself.

Eh, well, it's nice to have goals? I guess in theory he could've invested his DAYS money wisely, or more realistically he's going to move on to another profession (a realtor like his wife?). But I agree with @FrenchBug82re: killing off Sonny. He's a legacy character with ties to the canvas, so it's pointless to kill him off since it's just likely they'd revive him anyway. Just have him and Will break up off screen and eventually re-cast down the line if they need a spoiler in Will's relationships down the line.

"You can't fire me I quit" vibes.
