[te.]

You know Ron is dreadful enough to recycle old porn scripts.

I think they did that in the Carrie and Rafe days.

Well Brady seriously looked like he was dressed like a 70's porn star

The actress playing Sydney looks like Alyvia Alyn Lind

Did anyone think some of the establishing shots were weird?

In some Salem looked like a quaint little village, in some they looked like my old neighborhood on 6th street and in others it looked like a metropolis.

It actually feels awful, but I think you put the finger on what bothered me with Carrie/Rafe. It was porn all along, god damnit!

[dragonflies]

I think Will is fond of Leo to write him as the one to kind of save the day LOL

[ReddFoxx]

Haven't seen the movie yet, but this sort of thing fits with how all over the place soap towns are. The writers want them to be everything from a rural hamlet to a suburb to a huge metropolitan area.

[dragonflies]

Overall it was enjoyable and I adore Jackee so much lol

I haven't watched yet, but from what I see here, Ron you better never knock Eric Martsolf's "old" 50-year-old body again. I *hope* I look like that when I'm 50.

Somehow i knew this would be your favorite part.

---------------------

Earlier this year, the character of Brady Black was offscreen for a while, "on the run" with Kristen DiMera.  This was written into the plot while Eric Martsolf was rehearsing for, and then appearing on stage in a musical.

Here are some 2021 clips of Martsolf in Mamma Mia on stage

Eric Martsolf has always been stunning. Sure, he may not resemble a sketchy twink photoshoot in a crinkled issue of XY Magazine from 1998, but who among us does these days?

Edit.  I found some tweeted screencaps from A Very Salem Christmas. Tried to post here. Will add in my next post.
