An ok Friday episode. Didn't expect Stephanie to find out that Kayla was alive. Nice cliffhanger with Kayla and Stephanie. 

It was great seeing Chad. He looked particularly handsome in the episode.

I made a comment about Andrew and Colton Little on social media and Miranda Wilson liked my comment!

Andrew is leading man material. I am watching him closely, despite his supporting role. The show clearly wanted Charles S. back for Beyond Salem, but could not lock him in with GH. The creation of this adult Andrew is a welcomed surprise. 

Who else do you want to see Andrew interact with? I would love to see him with Stephanie, and play up the fact that they grew up together. That was interesting decade with both Brady women raising families out West. I think some cousins become best friends, and I can see that here. 
 

I wish Sonny was around. He and Andrew would have been a hot couple. It would have give cousins Will and Andrew some good family tension.

First off I wish his parents were on the canvas. I'd also like to see him have scenes with Stephanie and the vets on the show.

The six or so gay characters should be on the canvas too with the arrival of Andrew.  Ron can't write anything of value for the gay characters. It truly is disappointing. Ron is too busy writing annoying and repetitive one liners for Leo. The worst gay character left on the canvas.

I wish they'd give Andrew more than a supporting role but I highly doubt it will happen.

Yes/no - not exactly ...

Regular Salem was filmed six months ago.
But this Bo/Hope/Megan arc in Greece was filmed out of order from regular Salem- months later.

JA died *while* the show was filming this Greece arc.


This Greece arc was written before John Aniston passed away.  There was an audition for "Greek-looking extras" announced in October.  
Miranda Wilson was in Europe until Oct. 20.  She started filming Days at the end of October or beginning of November.  Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso started filming Days at some point in the first half of November, not sure of the exact date.

John Aniston died Nov. 11.  His daughter announced it Nov. 14.

They had to continue filming after he died.

Alfonso and Reckell were just on Digest podcast.  Reckell said he was in L. A. filming Days in November and he asked everyone on the show how JA was doing - they told him JA was in a wheelchair.  Reckell said he had plans to go visit JA after filming (or on a weekend, or after work one day, or on a day off) -but JA passed away before he got the chance to visit him.

So they wrote this whole Greek arc with no idea that JA would pass away.  No idea if they had planned to use JA or not.

Thanks!  I would assume the show was not planning on using JA much or at all given his health, but weren't expecting to write in his passing either.   I don't really know where this story is headed, but I think it could end up being a nice tribute to Victor.  Too bad Peter didn't get to see JA before he died.

@carolineg @Soapsuds  oh I forgot to say in my above reply...

They *did* plan to use John Aniston for something, but I don't know what it was about, something connected to Bo, or something in Salem, but it was an episode with Victor and Shawn-D.
When JA first died in November, Brandon Beemer said he had seen a script for this -- but JA died before it could be filmed.

I'm not liking Robo Bo at all.

The Stephanie and Kayla call was so badly contrived. From Kayla yelling on the phone yet Bo never came rushing in. To Stephanie not hearing Bo name yet hearing Greece with static.

The Marlena muff scenes are gone. Somebody must have been reading the boards. The Marlena reunion scenes with Brady were blah. 

Great to see Andrew again.

Finally got to check March out, Unfortunately whoever uploaded The Torrents Of the Full Episodes in FHD seems to have reached the Limit of his generosity and stopped with March 17, so I couldn't see Greece

I read that there are technology issues that change periodically. There are regular downloading programs that can record Peacock in HD; but then something changes and those programs cannot download Peacock anymore. Something changes in the background of Peacock so that the downloaders don't work.  The programmers who create the downloading software have to create new ways to make it work, which takes time. This happened before, and it happened again around the time you mentioned.

I guess it will get figured out eventually.  When people can finally download peacock in HD, then they can upload Days HD to the torrents.

Given Marlena's penchant for coming back from the dead and the fact it would be really bizarre for Hattie to be in John's house in Marlena's robe, it was a little dense of Brady to think it was Hattie.  But Brady is dense, so whatever.  The scenes were fine, but EM was weirdly over dramatic.

Did Kayla give a reason as to why she called Stephanie over Steve?  

The Andrew/Harris scenes reminded me of how Jason Morgan would react if he got his memories back and realized he was a hired killer.  I am sure that is what Ron was going for, but it's really a struggle for me to differentiate the two characters.

The episode was decent.  I wish Shawn was more involved in this and are Ciara and Ben gone again?

      That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.

      A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      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!

      Your daily (or nightly) thought

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      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?
