Members Soapsuds Posted November 2, 2021 Members Share Posted November 2, 2021 MarDevil 2021 should've been a limited 10 episode run on Peacock in the Beyond Salem series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gray Bunny Posted November 2, 2021 Members Share Posted November 2, 2021 I swear, Salem is lit by a huge full moon at night. Every night. Even indoors. It's weird. Carmine is the lovechild of a Baldwin brother and a Culkin kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted November 2, 2021 Members Share Posted November 2, 2021 100% agree with that. This would have been PERFECT for that platform and better if it has stayed out of the main show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted November 2, 2021 Members Share Posted November 2, 2021 Yes and they could have had Mike Horton come to help and Celeste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted November 2, 2021 Members Share Posted November 2, 2021 Zombie Nick’s lines sound like they were written for Leo Please register in order to view this content Mike Manning and Blake Berris are still killing it though. Maybe Corday needs to pull a Frank Valentini for both of them So far my biggest complaint about Possession 2.0 is that too much is happening off screen. We should’ve seen Zombie Nick break Jake out of prison and bury him, just like we should be seeing Doug locked away in Bayview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted November 2, 2021 Members Share Posted November 2, 2021 On the Doug front maybe Bill only works every so often. I hope Im as vital as he is at 96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted November 2, 2021 Members Share Posted November 2, 2021 I forgot how much I enjoyed Blake Berris as Nick. I still have fond memories of the young geek getting drunk and then sleeping with Billie lol. Even though the China Lee story was ridiculous it was also fun. I didn’t care for Nick’s darker turn starting with his obsession with Melanie although Berris did a great job overall. Example of losing talent and interesting character all just for shock value.

Members gtru1981 Posted November 3, 2021 Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 Why can't they do what they do with Alison Sweeney. Have her come in once every blue moon for a short time and disappear. I would be fine with that regarding Eileen popping in as Kristin. But can we put a pause on all her other characters. I would like Days to redeem Kristin a little. Like have her be in a accident and her memory is wiped out for a while and then bam.. Evil Kristin is back.

Members FrenchBug82 Posted November 3, 2021 Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 I fully agree with everything you said but in all fairness, if I remember correctly, he was the one who didn't want to stay. I *still* wouldn't have gone that route, especially on his second run, but it was on him wanting to do indie stuff or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty City Posted November 3, 2021 Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 Please register in order to view this content This soap is a mess right now. This is what happens when you give a two-year renewal with a head writer who doesn't need that kind of freedom to go off-the-rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members koos Posted November 3, 2021 Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 Nick could have been THE character of the decade. There was no one awkward and geeky like him on soaps; it wasn't overdone. They apparently couldn't handle writing a character that required careful balance, so they made him a psycho creep. The whole thing was off, because it was clearly the pills that made him screwed up, but then they just went "Ehh, oh well, let's go all in."

Members MichaelGL Posted November 3, 2021 Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 Once Nick's homophobia was dealt with; Nick/Gabi/WIll/Sonny would have been a fascinating parental unit for little Ari. But the show dashed all that potential, along with a few others, around that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 3, 2021 Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 IIRC, he pre-dated Spinelli on GH. Hogan Sheffer introduced the comic character of Nick very well, and I was super into him and Chelsea. Then they bungled it very, very quickly by having him sleep with Billie, which could've been recovered from, but then it all fell apart. It was clear someone at the show (probably Corday) disdained the character type on a show largely subsisting on generic stud and heroine archetypes. Later Nick became some sort of psycho which I was not invested in at all, though I know people loved Berris' performance. It was all such a waste.
