Lol!  That picture looks like a cover of a VC Andrews novel.

The acting in today's episode is atrocious!

[Liberty City]

Well, when you look at who is writing it....

Victoria Konefal isn't even trying anymore. I remember when her acting was actually quite good. She has gotten into a rut paired with awful actor Robert Scott Wilson.

The girls protecting a known killer is just ridiculous.

Ben’s smile while driving that car was creepy af. If they are aiming for romantic, they are missing the mark by quite a bit.

Theo is always an afterthought.

I thought DF was a bit shouty but good. There’s zero connection between him and Alison Sweeney, though, even though I think they both gave that scene their all.

Yeah! Today's episode was pretty bad. Just don't care about the Cin/Theo drama or the NuEJ/Sami drama.

That's why i don't expect Salem Beyond to be any good.

Who?

He looked stupid today. 

I just wish someone would smack the [!@#$%^&*] out of Claire.

With the Ben and Ciara stuff, I've gotten the sense for a long time now that the show's writers find that whole relationship "creepy af." But the couple has its Stans (never underestimate the number of viewers who will fall for a "he's not bad, just misunderstood!" storyline, even when the "bad boy" is a serial killer). So they're kind of stuck playing both sides. I was just glad that Ciara got to shove him to the ground today; I've been dreading the return of Ciara's memories/love for Ben, so that fake-out was great.

With Peacock putting some funds into it, I have some kind of hope.

It we'll be nice to finally see some nice sets.  No HTS. No tiny park bench.

[Liberty City]

No recycled office set for the hospital, police station, et al.

True, the Ben/Ciara scenes were pure FF material, but I enjoyed the Sami/EJ and Philip/Lucas/Nicole scenes. I thought they all did a really good job.

It sucks that this storyline is going to be cut short though

It sucks because I am actually one of the few people on this board that think Ciara/Ben have really good chemistry.  VK and RSW do spark together it's just such a mess of a story.

[Soapsuds]

I don't think anyone has said they don't have chemistry. Its the fact that he is a serial killer who can't be redeemed and is being glorified by everyone in Salem including a once bright and smart Ciara.
