DAYS Spinoff: Beyond Salem Discussion Thread

[Soapsuds]

You're welcome!

I posted episode four a few posts above. All the episodes are posted by the same person on YouTube.

Yeah I found those episodes earlier this morning as well, some musical segments have unfortunately been muted by Youtube but all in all exceptional quality. I binge watched all five.

I really did enjoy this caper, in particular I thought the references to Days' history were really well done.

It still feels so unreal (and yet so heartwarming) to see Anna and Carrie’s mother/daughter relationship on screen - Leann Hunley should really have been a presence on DOOL during the 90s when Carrie was part of some major plots. She and Christie Clark work so naturally together!

Love me some Amanda

On a Days Facebook group. I belong too. All the Karen's are appalled by the gay stuff.  Mind you these are the same people. Who had no idea how to make an account on Peacock. Even after other members kept repeatedly explaining  how to do one.

The gay stuff was the best part. I can't stop rewatching their scenes. I just adore Greg Rikaart. I've never watched Y&R but I can't imagine watching him play a straight man. Sounds boring lol. He plays Queen Leo to the hilt and I love it.

Zach Tinker looked so cute yesterday. "Patiently" waiting to hear that the main show is scooping him up and bringing Will and Sonny back.

I thought Chandler made the most attractive woman

See this is why I'd rather Will and Sonny have their own spin-off on peacock. That way all the clutched pearls will realize this is a Will and Sonny soap with their friends featured and not featuring the same boring drivel.

The main show will not write for them because of the clutched pearls.

I'm two minds about this. On one hand, a spin-off on Peacock would have more freedom, on the other hand, the gays should be allowed to be on the mothership like any other couple. The LGBTQ community should have representation on the main show, Karens be damned. 

 

 

[AlexElizabeth]

The Karens need to go away. I'm a straight female who could watch scenes like what we got on Beyond Salem all day.

My biggest takeaway from this is that Peacock would be smart to commission a real spin off for Will and Sonny. I would create it with the intention of being a standalone spin off, not limited series and give them like 10 episodes with a budget to allow them a more primetime look. I think that would be a big success for them. 

[Dion]

I totally agree. It's also very odd how Leann and Christie had scenes together when Christie first started back in 1986 and then nothing for over 30 years. Anna should have been around not only for Carrie's troubles with Sami but for the Tony and Kristen stuff too (Later retconned as Andre and Kristen).

Beautiful

But now that I think about it, knowing RC’s track record, I’m surprised he didn’t have them all compete as male strippers

[Forever8]

I would be here for that. Bring on Alex Kiriakis and perhaps Sonny's twin brothers, and round the cast with Will and Sonny's hetero and LGBTQIA friends. A local bar they can frequent. Make it Queer As Folk/ The L Word/Melrose Place esque. Make it free via ads.

Be careful what you wish for, our luck the WilSon spin off wouldn't have ZT, but Freddie Smith lol
