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

The acting in today's episode is atrocious!

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.

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.

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.

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.
