Yeah, I imagine they used the money for the 'guest stars' and not the sets. We'll never see 90s primetime special budgets again. I was hoping for something more than re-dressed sets. But we'll see. I know some will say "just wait or you don't know for sure" but it doesn't look great in terms of the sets. At least it may hopefully be better than simply replacing 'Salem PD' sticker with a Zurich sticker and calling it a day ... 

 

Soaps just don't do a great job anymore at 'setting the scene'. I miss that. But it is what it is. No budget is no budget.

Going by the released spoiler pics, it unfortunately seems like they just re-dressed the regular sets. I had kind of hoped they'd use this Peacock windfall on investing on sets (which would benefit the main show), but I guess Eileen Davidson doesn't come for cheap.

I was really hoping against hope. That we would get some nice sets. I guess not. This is going to look embarrassingly bad. Like when they went to Prague. Where the police station was the same set. Which was then covered in papers written in Czech.😂 Why even bother doing this? If it's going to look cheap.

They have over two dozen new sets for these 5 episodes, so if they have to re-dress some stuff, so be it. It's cool we're getting a spinoff series at least!

I'm hoping NBCU provides us the promotional portraits the cast took, and that we get more than what the main series has given us.

Even if we're meh on the sets, it doesn't and shouldn't diminish the excitement over the spin-off. It's still GREAT news we got this.

 

And thank you for clarifying on the sets Jason!

Agreed!

 

Trailer was fun and looks good! I’m excited. I’ve currently been binging to get caught up in time. 

I wonder if we’ll see (or hear) anything that flouts usual daytime-TV standards or if it’ll be strictly by-the-book so as not to offend the pearl clutchers (since this is ostensibly a test to see if DAYS can survive on Peacock). I remember the old-timey AMC fans getting up in arms about salty language on the online version. But RC seems like the type to capitalize on any content freedom.

OMG a Lisa Rinna drag queen making an appearance, LOL! 

This looks cute. Nice lil trailer there. Very online soap operay.
