I think showbiz stories can work but rarely do, bc few shows know how to execute. It too often comes back to 'making a film in town with the civilian characters as stars!' I like the idea of using entertainment industry characters like Dillon Q on GH, but his dreams never executed well onscreen. Megan on OLTL at least had her soap opera filming in town and was a proper actress. You can do it, but most soaps get so focused on finding a way to enmesh the characters and town into it without it feeling organic or sensible. I'd like to see it attempted with more intelligence - I think we need more artist characters like that. But DOOL's take is silly camp, again.

Will "Always Say Yes: The Sami Brady Story" be available to stream on Peacock?

Not sure where to put this...Guy wanted to be on beyond Salem... Just a guess..

I like Guy Wilson and he looks very cute in these images... but this feels like a half-assed Harry Styles wannabe shoot.

Keeping this soap in silly, overdone camp is its downfall. The only character it works for is Anna DiMera, and that is thanks to the portrayal of Leann Hunley, who doesn't play it in a way that annoys or irks.

What’s the point of Rafe? If they need family for Gabi, they might as well steal JV back from Y&R. Dario was faaaaar from great, but at least he was eye candy. Or recast him if they can’t get JV.

Days should a least try to make it scary. Instead of silly and campy.

Rafe exists to drive the audience insane and make Nicole look pathetic with her mooning over him. They have ZERO chemistry or spark, yet the show has been pushing them for what feels like forever. Meanwhile, EJ and Nicole's chemistry was smoking hot in that last scene today. They're just nuts if they try to keep continuing this Nicole/Rafe crap after seeing AZ's chemistry with DF.

mooning

Haha, E.J. used that term today.

I've already lost interest. It didn't help that they included the necktie killer Ben to the story.

I haven't seen the whole episode yet, minus EJ and Nicole at the end. Is that Mr. T?

This movie stuff is so stupid. Chad and Abby don't just rip up the contracts or throw them in the fireplace? And Johnny is just going along with this crap? Dumb. Thankfully EJ taunting Chad was funny, which saved these scenes for me.

EJ says Chad would bring a lot to the role of Roman the cuckold 😂 He's looking forward to that conference table scene 😂

Besides EJ being funny and DF's scruff, today was a total bore. Nicole looked really pretty though. Too bad she and Rafe are god awful. She's only mooning over Rafe because she hasn't seen EJ's new hairdo. Chloe/Philip/Brady is literally the same scene on repeat.

Albert Alarr told DF he needed to get in better shape. 😂 Imagine being Albert and having the nerve to tell the guy from Spartacus that he needs to hit the gym. 🤣

Albert did what????

The story is slow as molasses. While going in circles at the same time. The possession episodes are just as boring as everything else.

I'm paraphrasing here, but DF did a podcast with SOD pretty recently and said that Albert told him that he needed to get back into shape like he was on Spartacus (presumably for future shirtlessness).

Why is the devil a Mr. T bitmoji 🤣

I'm sure Albert saw his backside and liked what he saw.

There's nothing scary about it. It's all for laughs.

But it's not even funny. Really missing Beyond Salem. It was fun. Unlike Days which is a chore too watch.
