Yeah. The recorded one where they discuss Beyond Salem. And the live one later today discussing the main show. You can still leave a comment and live chat with other people watching on the recorded video. 

As for the July 20th one, the link to the podcast is on their Twitter page.

I finally watched both Beyond Salem Chapters last night.  I think the concept (stories with other characters than the Salem Home cast) is good, but RC could F*ck up a wet dream, so a lot of the good ideas get sloughed off into silly scenes.  

No one needed to see Burton try showing emotion, though-- he looked like he might short circuit.  I have to re-watch the last hour and a half or so. I dozed off--but it was at 5:30 a.m.

Reckell needs to take over Jeff Webber on GH.  I think he and Herbst could play well in a healing arc for Elizabeth.  Miranda Wilson as her cold mother could work as well.   But that's Beyond #firefrank, so....

I haven't watched DAYS since RC took over, I keep up on the characters and cast through recaps.  This was not the best or worst show I've binged in a while, but I will finish it up tomorrow.

I've toyed around with most of the anti-virus software's out there, and although you never specified which one, it sounds to me the one you could be using is Malwarebytes. If so, there's a way to worm yourself around the hassle. But yeah, I've used a lot of them. I've never had that issue issuing Intego, Avast, or Bitdefender. Moreover, I'm not sure about browser preferences, but I prefer using Brave browser as my experiences are completely different when using Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. But, c'est la vie. 

I cannot believe I haven't watch the last episode of Beyond Salem. Well, episode and a half. I've been trying to get caught up on B&B. I stopped watching the fourth Beyond Salem episode during the Harris, Ciara, and Ben scenes. It was hard describing as to why I was being such a stinker watching it altogether, and I think I said something to the extent of "there was no movement". Now that I've had more time to evaluate or grasp my initial thoughts several days ago, I think what I was trying to express was that there wasn't a natural flow to it. In other words, nothing felt organic. But then again, what is organic these days on soaps? Everyone falls in love in two episodes, or one will pop the marriage question and then they both decide to marry each other three days later. WTF ever. Going back to Beyond Salem, Steve Burton didn't seem like he knew where he needed to stand or position himself on set - maybe because the set is about as big as a hen house, but who am I to judge people? Take some brown eggs given what you're given.

If Kristian and Peter are game, I'd just launch a proper Bo and Hope spin-off. It would solve the problem of Peter living in Alaska since he'd only have to come down for filming and it would be a smaller time commitment. It would be a good way to keep these character alive and their story ongoing without having to do the constant comings and going on the main show. They could easily cast a strong spin-off with Bo, Hope, Ciara, Ben and even Harris.

They took the article down before I could read it. I tried looking in googlecache and found it.  They basically quote a couple of tidbits from Ron's July 15 interview on Digest podcast.
The rest of it is soaps.com speculations.

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
