BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

[BetterForgotten]

Actually, I do like the idea of characters being teased or mentioned but they don't show up for a year (or further down the line). Kind of like what EastEnders did with Pat in its first year.  

Just don't hire him, Michele..

Agreed. I think focusing on the core cast for the first few months is probably wise, but since some characters might not end up working out (as is typical with new soaps) having "back up" options out there in the world... beyond Beyond the Gates is a good idea in itself.

Of course, I'm sure there'll be a secret love child somewhere either way eventually.

If he were hired, this soap would be over before it began airing. Don't do it, Michele. PLEASE! This hack should just go back to reporting "wishful castings".

Looks like filming begins on Friday and Ron Carlivati is writing for BTG??? WTF???

At least he isn't head writer.... but we do not need him here. At all.

Zoom in on a tablet or your phone, his name is there

I found the full-sized image from IG. Happy seeing Susan Dansby. At least the "writer" isn't a head writer, and is a breakdown... aka NO power.

Looks like he might be a break down or a script writer

I’m actually surprised that Ron’s ego even allowed him to write for a soap and not be head writer lol

But if I had to pick between him and Jamey, I would pick Ron every time. He actually is a good writer when he doesn’t let his biases write for him. I just hope somebody keeps an eye on him because I’m already starting to have concerns about the way he’ll write the character of Smitty (Mike Manning’s character)

And as much I would love for Jamey to be off of Days, keep him away from Beyond the Gates!! We want this soap to succeed and not be run into the ground with cringey camp and lazy excuses and fluff in order to get the script to a reasonable length

Multi shooting days suggests remotes and shooting out of order because a lot of sets are used.

Quoting The Wrap from August 2023:
https://www.thewrap.com/days-of-our-lives-co-ep-albert-alarr-fired-misconduct-investigation-peacock-nbcu/

An insider close to production told TheWrap that NBCU brass requested the extended hiatus to give the show time to find a path forward. Earlier this week, at least 25 members of the show’s cast and crew signed a petition obtained by TheWrap that detailed the “traumatic and disheartening” work environment made public in the reports, and asking for Alarr to be replaced as co-executive producer with longtime director Sonia Blangiardo.

“As you make this critical decision with ‘Days of Our Lives’ moving forward, we humbly ask that you consider our collective voice in choosing the best leader for the future of our show,” read the letter.

End quote from The Wrap.
