Episode 3 was really a waste of time. The Bo heaven scenes are terrible and shouldn't have been on  BS2.  All the Bo scenes could've been used on other characters. 

So Joey and Tripp went to Hong Kong to find their dad? Ok whatever...they did look hot shirtless especially Tripp but that's about it.

ED continues to be a hoot!

Paul and Andrew. Their cliche scenes today were cute yet eye rolling from the I can't make a tie to Paul looking at Andrew with so much thirst to them sharing a room. Why bring on two characters and write their development so slow when they won't be on the main show. Are Andrew and Paul showing up on the main show? I'm sure we'll get a lousy ending with them.

So Hope got married in heaven? Isn't that the same set used for Abe when he died and reunited with Lexi?

The sets on BS2 look so cheap and most if not all reused from BS1. I guess the budget is low again. Did Peacock not supply the $$$$$??

And what the f u c k time is it in Hong Kong??

Wasn't it night when Paul and Andrew arrived? Gabi was in a nightgown.  Few scenes later Paul and Andrew were getting reading for the gala. Was the gala the same night they arrived? Why would Gabi be in a nightgown if she was going to the gala?

I think the inference was that Gabi was getting ready for the Gala before she and Shin had sex.  It looked like something someone would get ready in before putting their full dress and makeup on even though it was lingerie.  Like brides wear before their wedding.  So it was night, but not time for sleeping.  Just sex lol.

The only thing I ever remembered about Megan was her amazing permed hair.  I can say I was disappointed when she showed up with a much more sensible do the other day.

I can see that happening. We got lucky with Zach Tinker, maybe we'll have the same luck next year. Paul and Andrew are good together and bringing them on could actually lead to a good, non-Leo storyline for Will and Sonny.

It should be the other way around. The guy with no experience should be taking tips from the guy with expericne lol

It also doesn't help that they are nostalgic for a very specific period of DAYS history; which was arguably not its best.  They tend to like the supercouple era as opposed to the more melodramatic stories by Bill Bell.  We get all of the 1980s references of Renee and Megan, but I would bet we'll never see a salute to Linda Phillips, Susan Martin, or Amanda Howard.  For lack of a better term, it feels masturbatory to write fan fiction based mostly of work created by Thom Racina, without any modern take on the stories.

I mean how would a modern character feel about her father having kids with dozens of different women, without supporting them or helping with childcare?  And how would a contemporary person react to their father's will that demanded that they be married and have a child in order to gain an inheritance?   Just resurrecting people for the purpose of seeming clever is not good writing, if they have no creative purpose to exist in 2022.

To me the webisodes bring back memories of the primetime movies that DAYS and AW produced to coincide with the summer daytime award shows, but very little of that period is ever referenced.

I know that I'm quoting it and I don't want him to be here.......but why would you bring Alan Sarapa here? He's the LAST place I'd go to for soap opinions. 

Not a fan of Jamey. I'd like to enjoy Beyond Salem2, but so far, I don't. Maybe tomorrow.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By kalbir · Posted

      You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.
