I watch with the CC on and it annoys me that she is credited as “female narrator” just as much as it annoys me how Macdonald Carey is identified as “male announcer”. I’m sure there are union rules at play but it just seems hollow and disrespectful to these legendary cast members.

I'll leave you alone when you learn the same lesson many people have been trying to teach you here for what must be close to a decade: If someone doesn't like a show and expresses that POV there is absolutely nothing you can fuckíng do about it. I myself have no opinion on Beyond Salem atm, but the question of whether someone can hold an opinion divergent from mine is quite clear. No debate, no calling for them to stop. You lose. Move on with your life.

Maybe they remember soaps from 30 years ago. Maybe they have standards. LOL

I haven't watched it yet, but I don't expect much. Days is so inconsistent. I FF'd 2/3rds of the last few main show eps I saw, but I finally (?!) made the decision to skip Ben/Ciara scenes.

That would be hilarious if it didnt come from a poster and thats you who always tell folks here how to post and do not respond here and there & just to move on. So you can do that but others cannot? Hypocrite. Take about a million seats.

There's a big difference between the smoke I have for someone trying to silence any critique of soap operas vs. someone who's never learned basic netiquette in the year of our Lord 2021. I may not like your random obsessions that often lead nowhere but at least they're not trying to infringe on someone's speech. Anyway, when you learn how to embed a tweet after 10+ years we can revisit this conversation.

YOU’RE the person around here to teach netiquette? LMAOOOOOOO 

Honey, I’m sorry I give you agita, but you really need to stop filling your head with me. Your rants are ridiculous but entertaining, especially since it’s easy to see that hypocrisy John mentioned. Your posts directed at me are all SMH moments.

Your speech hasn’t been infringed upon, so I assume you’ll get out the venom again. Actually, your timing is perfect. We can fit you in with Marlena and Doug in Salem.

Read Datalounge. Vee is quite unpopular there. That being said, Ron Carlivati is my hero. He does fantastic work. The Beyond Salem arc was genius and he has everyone in the biz talking about Days and the revisiting of the Marlena possession storyline. Bravo!

    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
