Members AbcNbc247 Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 Looks like the Peacock episodes have finally begun to drop! What will our soap be like now? And is it just me or has the day to day writing improved somewhat? DISCUSS! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 Can't really. lol. But I do look forward to seeing you all discuss the differences. Is it something new, or GL Peacock all over again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted January 31, 2023 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 Idk, it just seems like they’re giving characters more in each script. Instead of rushing through everything, they’re taking their time to let some characters show us what they’re feeling. There’s still some stupid stuff like Leo and Rolf but overall I’ve been liking it lately. As for Peacock, it is supposed to be something new. And several actors have said that’s a lot of money’s been invested in the show 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 Well, we've been having half & half episodes for about 3 weeks. And, the new cameras images began showing last week. Of course, the rooftop slideshow green screen was new & one way to have a new set that doesn't cost traditional dollars, just tech dollars. And, I think the writing has changed in some instances - and for the better. Plus, didn't we seem to have more people at the Li/Gabi wedding? Or did I just imagine that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) I've been dipping in and out. So, i haven't really noticed. Not finding anything interesting. I just find Days to be a chore to watch. Please register in order to view this content Edited January 31, 2023 by victoria foxton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Overall, it seems as if they've adapted well to writing and producing within the streaming format. On network, they could build to each commercial with a suspense moment, but that's gone because it is impracticable on Peacock. Also, it feels like there are fewer scenes per episode. But, with daily drops, they still maintain a weekly cliffhanger which I enjoy in terms of tradition.

Members Liberty City Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 The new cameras, based on the small clip I saw, are a bit more free-standing and motion-moving. We'll see how it works in post-production. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 At NBC they had to turn over the show 36-37 min. long, no wiggle room. With Peacock, they have been delivering the show between 31 min. and 47 min. The people at the studio very much like the flexibility they have now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 Interesting. I only watch B&B and DOOL, and I find that I look forward to watching DOOL more than B&B. B&B is super easy to watch, the episodes seem to fly by on Paramount+ if I'm even a week behind. I will say that DOOL can feel like a chore if I have multiple episodes to catch up on, but overall, I enjoy watching it more, maybe even for the foolish mess that it is as evidenced in that gif. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted January 31, 2023 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 I just hope it’s not a temporary thing due to the Marlena, Kate, Kayla story 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 I am really happier with the show than I have been in a year. I found Jan. 20 to be an absolutely stellar day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 Well I'm finding this discussion extremely informative. I look forward to hearing about more of the changes you all notice. I like very much it sounds like they are getting back to SHOWING character motivations and what not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AbcNbc247 Posted February 1, 2023 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2023 Well, there seemed to be a lot of, uh, peacocking in today’s episode Please register in order to view this content What’s with that blue lighting during sex scenes now? It doesn’t look good. I liked that it seems like Stefan is going to be torn between Gabi and Chloe. I was worried that he was going to immediately get back with Gabi and they’d have no story, like Will and Sonny or Ben and Ciara. I just hope it doesn’t fall apart and get written stupidly. If it were me, I’d have Gabi try to seduce Brady in the hope that it would get Stefan and Chloe jealous. I also guess that the show wanted us to have sympathy for Alex, but it’s not gonna work. That’s what you get for being such an awful person. I also wonder if there’s going to leave it open ended as to whether or not he and Allie had sex. And damn, Paul Telfer’s been in nothing but his underwear for three episodes now I hope it wasn’t cold that day in the studio What can I say? Its my #1 soap 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
