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.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get. While I agree with those on here that he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.

    • Ah! Good to hear. Isn't it especially odd to think that house fictionally exists not far from the Karrs?  Or, that it was designed non-fictionally by the same person who designed April's place?
    • Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Strange and awkward, and I don't know what they're doing with those fades.   -- Finally, had to laugh at how many Emmys this board passed out today.
