DAYS Spinoff: Beyond Salem Discussion Thread

[Soapsuds]

If you don't have Peacock in your area or can't access the episodes of Beyond Salem....someone on YouTube uploaded all five unedited episodes without the commercials.

The last name is Faversham.  Miles Faversham is a new character. He is the grandson of a former character Lili Faversham who was on canvas from July 1998 to February 2001.

Ms. Lili Faversham was an eccentric elderly wealthy woman who lived in Lugano Switzerland. She owned a bank, and collected art.  The show wrote that her backstory was that before she became elderly, she had held grand society balls and had hosted art auctions.  The backstory also was that, during that active society time in the past, Ms. Faversham had befriended Princess Gina (or Hope-brainwashed-to-be-Gina). 

In the late 1990s, Hope was researching what had happened to her during her missing years. (The missing years when Hope was presumed dead, while Kristian Alfonso was on Falcon Crest and Melrose Place).

The trail eventually led to Ms. Faversham who told Hope she was a princess, which Hope did not know.

This was part of Hope learning that Stefano had programmed Hope into being an art thief who pretended to be Princess Gina. 
So Hope learned during this 1998 investigation that she had been this art thief during her missing years.

The Faversham history ties into "Beyond Salem" because the same "Hope/Gina-the-art-thief" was the person who originally stole the Alamainian peacock back in 1991 and pawned the 6 jewels.

So in Beyond Salem, we have the new character Miles Faversham who is Lili Faversham's grandson... and Miles' wife Sophie.  Like Lili, they host exclusive parties.  But instead of high society balls in Switzerland, they give sex parties in New Orleans.  Their family history would have told them about Gina/Hope's art thievery history.  Instead of respecting art as Lili did, they stole the amethyst.

Millicent Martin as Ms. Lili Faversham

 

^ Krista Allen is playing Billie Reed in this clip.  Billie and Roman are working as ISA agents, but working undercover as fake personas.

Hope and John are pretending to be Gina and John, so as to learn more info about Hope's past from Ms. Faversham. 

Edit to add: fyi, during the time that Stefano had programmed Hope to be Gina the art thief, Stefano had also caused John to work with Gina on stealing the art.  Just another part of John's convoluted history - which he had been unaware of until Hope investigated her past.

I'd rather see some post-production value increase. It's been too dark, especially if they're using 4K lights and non-4K cameras. There needs to be a change, because even the DOOL App behind-the-scenes content looks better than what the show is putting out.

See example:

April 2020 was an improvement from 2016–2019, but it still has some serious problems with lighting and post-production quality.

I'll take dark over yellow or ultra-bright (Y&R post 2011) any day. On the other hand, when the show was darker before, the sets were more detailed and HD wasn't a thing.

[Liberty City]

They should've kept the high-definition they had 2013, 2014 or even early 2015 (as exampled above).

Yeah, he did. It's fun seeing Charles Shaughnessy play three roles. Drew, Shane and Victor Cassadine. He's so good. I loved the Drew twist.

The whole week really felt like classic Days tbh it was wonderful and actually daring. Rikaart actually having fun opposed to his dreariness over on Y&R. The only thing I think was missing was a Lucas & Sami plot which would have made it perfect.
