DAYS Spinoff: Beyond Salem Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I think it's a number of factors with Greta not taking off.  Her bizarre introduction, her cloying nature with John and to a lesser extent Bo, her obsession with her father, having no real love interest, etc.  JM/Greta were fine, but I don't think she inspired a real fanbase.  I haven't met many people that loathed her, but I haven't met too many stans.  The consensus is everyone liked her enough, but no one is clamoring for her return.

I hated the Jack is gay, but not really story.  Like Jack be an adult just tell her you are not into her lol.

You can tell GR is also having a blast. He is such a great actor but Kevin has been so underwritten for so long now that he probably enjoys having something fun to do.

It really makes a lot of difference when the people involved are actually enjoying what they are doing. So much of what's wrong on the main show are the stories where you can tell where RC is merely checking a box ("Oh right we need to use Nicole and Rafe... Fine let's put them together") and the actors are cashing the check.

Ahhh the 90s/2000s where straight men pretending to be gay was considered the height of comedy.

I thought her and Eric was a pairing that made sense and they were cute enough. But two "sweet" characters do not a story make so there was little there.

Yeah, Eric and Greta were sweet and Nicole was fun as their spoiler but then we got Nicole/Lucas, Jensen/Eric left and they paired her with yet another 'sweet guy' in Austin. And stuck them in Eden hell. 

 

Greta really never stood a chance, looking back.

 

I'd rather be watching them than the bootleg Bope wannabes the show keeps trying to force

Greta and Eric were cute.  It just never went anywhere.  Jensen left and that was it.  I liked her and Austin as well, but again that went nowhere too.  I even thought her and MA had chemistry.  She just had pairings that didn't go very far. 

And Greta was definitely outshined by the other heroines her age range like Nicole/Sami-even though JM is older than I thought.

This was fun. I love how Billy starts talking about how he's not opposed to Chad/Sonny and how Sonny has nice arms, then Jackie is like, "I'm actually talking about Chad/Leo." I love how cool he is with all of it. Let's make Chad bi already, lol. I also love that he brought up how he's just in the background of the scenes laughing at Leo. I kind of figured it was more Billy himself laughing and not Chad.

Zach brought up all the comments online about Billy's ass! Hahaha.

That was a great watch. The show should do watch parties like that more often. Was nice seeing the cast joke around and talk about the scenes. 

DAYS needs to get off the pot and make Chad bisexual already. Billy wants it, we want it. 

Even though it probably means nothing, at the end when Zach says he has hope that WilSon will be coming to DAYS, that gave me some hope. . Almost everywhere, people are loving the Phoenix story, saying it's the first time in years they've been interested in WilSon, how great Zach is. They a popular couple that just got a huge much needed shot in the arm. They would be so stupid not to bring them back.

    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago that perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. Since we hardly know anything about Leslie's childhood background. In addition, Leslie said she grew up listening to The Articulettes….
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
