Eyebrow lift actor Drake Hogestyn stole episode 1 premiere. 

A lot of reused sets from Beyond Salem 1.  I guess the budget went down?

Hated Ciara confrontation with Hope about not being there for her. I wish Hope would've brought up her marrying the serial killer and having his baby as to why she stayed away for so long.

The Johnston's reunion was nice but rather boring.

Steve Burton opening scenes holding a gun on someone. What a surprise!

Steve Burton acting was so hammy! He isn't aging well.

The best part was John dancing at the pride party with shirtless half naked gay men.❤

Seeing Paul taking off his pride jacket and getting down with his dad was golden.

John asking Paul if there was someone special in his life was great too.

Paul meeting Andrew and the look Andrew gave Paul was telling. Andrew was right away smitten with Paul and probably knows his gay.

 

Oh forgot. The Bo heaven scenes were cringe worthy bad!  I wouldn't have put them in the episode.

Nice opening of Bo and Hope.

I wonder if due to the budget they had to cut the scene right before this one where the entire party went to Target to buy their pride gear?

Or are rainbow tank tops like tuxedos, every guy in a soap town owns one regardless of wealth or status?

I thought the opening scene with Steve Burton on a rubber boat on a soundstage and Heaven with the lighting and effects were cringey although I agree with @AbcNbc247that Steve Burton still looks good.   It would be nice if he could play something other than a version of Jason though.  I know SBu used to be able to act.

John Black living it up at a Pride Party is something I never would see in my lifetime, but Drake was great lol.  John and Paul are adorable.  Paul is far and away the best John kid. 

The new Stephanie does favor Shelley Hennig a lot.  I like her so far.  I never had much of a thought about Joey, so the new one seems fine as well.  

I actually do thing Ciara has a ton of right to call out Hope, but I agree it came out of nowhere.  Ciara never seemed upset on the main show about it.  The fact that Hope would rather ignore her children and life to avoid getting back together with Rafe is hilarious to me even if it's not the real reason.  

Poor Bo in Heaven.  Has he just had to watch everyone he loves make poor decisions all these years lol?  

The actress that plays Megan Hathaway still looks really good.  

I like it so far.  I am curious to see how all the pieces and characters come together, but it was a good start.  It felt a little more disjointed than the first Beyond Salem, but we'll see.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
