Peacock Orders DAYS Spinoff: Beyond Salem

[soapfave06]

Ohhhh I am kind of excited about the Oddjob casting! Looks like lots of pool scene casting which I would associate with the Miami story versus Zurich or New Orleans. Interesting.

Who is writing this?

'WOW!!! They actually have a budget for this. Party scenes with drag queens. Tons of extra's, pool scenes. The plot sounds like an 80's acton/adventure story. It will probably be a campy mess under RC's pen.

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

The amount of times they said "attractive," "in great shape," et al is disgusting to me. The amount of self righteous and self-indulgence in the casting calls is disgusting, though, I know it's not just for this.

This is exciting news indeed. I will hold my opinion until it airs, but wouldn’t been more smart to premiere now while days is on hiatus? Hope ABC and CBS is watching and taking notes.

Right?

Not to mention Disney+.

 

ABC has no excuse

 

Paramount can't do squat with ATWT or GL. Isn't Telenext/P&G the issue? Maybe if CBS had been allowed to buy those shows from them ... siiiiiiigh.

so is this gonna be like some Hollyoaks after dark mess or just pure jank and nonsense. lol

[Forever8]

I pray that it is the style of Hollyoaks Later!!! Then again this show is probably going to use the heck out of the repurposed HTS set.

If this is successful it’ll be a big deal for soaps. Days is already successful streaming and this, even with a better budget than the daytime show, will obviously be much cheaper than any of their other original shows. Right now Peacock is trying to figure out what works for them. If this gets good views I wouldn’t be surprised to see more from Days. 
 

I also think this will wake the other soaps are just looking at the attention this got. Y&R is a lost cause, but it shocks me that with its international success that Brad Bell hasn’t pursued a B&B spin off. 
 

Also, for those asking about Pine Valley, I still believe it’s coming. The script was turned in at the end of February. It’s obviously not being developed in the normal time frame that would’ve gotten it on the air this fall. I’m still confident that will get a pilot at the very least.

Julie Pinson should be back, or, if she's back in a more full-time capacity, then recast with Gina Tognoni.

Lisa Rinna was the easiest to get, given her ties to NBCUniversal.

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.

We have a date according to Peacock 9/6/2021
