She was definitely underdeveloped even though she was used a lot. I agree that they just decided to leave it alone and that was probably the right call. I hate they wasted Greta on "Jack is gay but not really" and then boom she was gone.

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.

Leo's complete lack of shame and his audacity just give me life LOL. He's SO over the top but it works in small doses. You know Ron is living through him 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

I think Leo is a breath of fresh air lol. His one liners kill me. 🤣

Julianne Morris as Greta had this sweetness and light that emitted from her face. She may not have been Meryl Streep in the acting stakes, but she had chemistry with her screen partners and committed to the part and the script. I mean, the Garden of Eden nonsense was hairy (on many levels), but by God, she did what was asked of her. Even though I could feel her embarrassment burn from my screen.

As for Beyond Salem, I am behind (just finished Ep 1). But I am loving how breezy and fun it is. Everybody looks like they are having a ball, and everybody believes in this project. I also like what I'm hearing about the upcoming episodes pushing the envelope a little in terms of what they can show versus Daytime's restrictions. This is the place to showcase what streaming can allow Days to do beyond a Daytime setting.

I'm not a fan of Lisa Rinna on RHOBH but watching her as Billie on Days, all my old fondness for her is rushing back, lol. 

I will say with my hatred of Rinna on RHOBH, I was pleasantly surprised to see her being Billie and not just Lisa Rinna.

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.

Watch party with Billy Flynn, Zach Tinker, Greg Rikaart and Jackie Cox.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CTip8afipQA/

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.

They are really relying on the gays to sell this thing, aren't they! LOL
I hope they get paid for all that PR because by now CM and ZT in particular have probably spent more time on online videos/interviews than they did actually filming the five episodes of the show.

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.
