DAYS Spinoff: Beyond Salem Discussion Thread

The smart thing to do would be to give Chad a new outlook on life, Abigail, etc. because of everything that happened in Phoenix, when he gets back to the main show next week

Even Chandler has come alive in these scenes. The smirking has lessened. He's actually acting

And dancing really well lol

He really does need them. This is why characters need friends and not always stuck in story bubbles checking off boxes.

 

He sure was! lol I was impressed. Didn't expect that from him at all.

 

A lot of the younger actors DAYS has have good personalities that don't often get to come out.

[wingwalker]

That's because he actually has a screen partner that has high energy instead of the human Ambien. 

 

[dragonflies]

Nah Chandler was like that no matter who Will interacted with onscreen lol

[KMan101]

 

Yep. I've always said it but Chandler is invested and comes alive when the writing is there and his screen partner is invested and awake. Chandler can definitely get lazy but I think he's more than reminded folks this go-around that he IS Will. Quirks and all. LOL.

Will had chosen the drag name Wilhelmina  Shakespeare. But the drag queen with the big tits changed it to Amanda Bottom

A lot of young actors on these shows learn bad habits from the scene partners they admire most or bc of personal relationships off-camera. (See: The GH youths being taught to emulate Benard or Howarth) Chandler is no different. He can be very good or he can [!@#$%^&*] around and it doesn't all come from Smith or anyone else. It's on him to be consistent.

I actually liked the name Will picked for himself.

[dragonflies]

How is it Lisa Rinna made me like Billie again? LOL. I always hated her Billie for a long time but wow I like her in this series

[carolineg]

I think they are ignoring a lot of Billie's baggage over the years even though Kristen did mention it.  I think Billie became more sad and desperate through the years and Lisa is playing Billie like OG Billie.  Troubled past, but spunky and a survivor.  I do think Lisa does get the heart of Billie in a way other portrayers didn't.

[dragonflies]

I did get a laugh at Kristen calling Billie gross for shagging her daughter's boyfriend when she herself has banged both John and Brady. So much pot meets kettle there lol

Binging now.  And as soon as I saw Carrie and Austin I just kept thinking they should be on the show.  While not as iconic, they easily fit into a Marlena/Roman kind of spot from the early 1990’s, have the nostalgia factor for longtime fans, and their complicated connections with Lucas and Sami create story when those characters are around.  Imagine one of Sami’s kids choosing to live with Carrie instead of her.

I always thought that should have been Allie, instead of her clinging to Nicole. Sydney should have had that relationship with Nicole given the history.
