Yeah, she said they were getting up to 15 scripts at a time, and she asked for them to lessen that number. So, she's very aware of things, and I love that she's standing up not only for herself but for those she works with.

I agree; am I happy to see his name at all? No. But knowing he's in a breakdown role and a breakdown role only makes me quite happy!!!

That coincides with the timeframe when they began to cut their number of brands, selling off pretty much half. So the soaps became less important to them as vehicles for advertising. Basically they began in 2000 & they did it over about 4 years. 

Yes I'm with you here every word. And when we back up as far as you just did, totally correctly, we snag the AW cancellation in 1999 where they had a poorer relationship with NBC earlier on but then well, history repeated itself. 

She specifically teased April which is 6 months from Oct. 31st so that is a kind of confirmation of her saying that amount of time. (No spoiler.)

These are clips from the public livefeed youtube from the Paley center.
They're hinting at spoilers as "something's coming" "big" "wow", etc
but not outright saying any spoilers.
They say when these things are coming and who might be affected, 
but nothing specific.

They are not February spoilers, so I won't put them on the February spoiler thread, so I'll just leave them here
But behind spoiler tags to be safe.

To go back to the Ron Calivati of it all, I agree with not being excited to see his name but I am not worried about him. I really can't see him sticking around too long after working so many years as a HW. I see this as him building a relationship with CBS in case something opens at Y&R. Being on a well received show would put some distance between how bad his stint at Days has become. I really wouldn't be surprised if they hired him in the event Josh Griffith leaves. That will be Y&R's problem but I'm not worried about Beyond the Gates.

Errol posted a while back that this thread will remain active, but will become the
ongoing "behind-the-scenes, history, articles, classic, etc" thread for BTG,
similar to such threads for the other current US soaps.

@Errol is that still the plan, and will this thread keep same name or be renamed?

I look at it this way: Michele Val Jean must see something in Ron Carlivati's work that most of us don't, or else she wouldn't have hired him.  Same goes for Bob Guza and Julie Hanan Carruthers.  This show is too important to MVJ to place even portions of it in less-than-worthy hands.

That does not mean I've become an RC fan of all sudden.  It just means that I'm willing to trust MVJ's judgment, simply because her track record and commitment to BTG tell me that I should.

    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      Me when someone asks me to be proper and demure. 
    • 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.  
    • 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.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. 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/
    • (video, sound up) https://www.instagram.com/p/DIopBYDOGwy/ April 19, 2025 theonlydaphneeduplaix I’m not a fan of running. I’m not a fan of biking. So instead, I do what I love to get me revved up!!! . What that 20 minute warm up always looks like for me. What do you love that gets your body moving? LET’S GO!!!!!!! #DanceItOut #NoExcuses #FitOverFourty #TakeYourBodyBack #FindWhatGetsYouMoving     .           .
    • 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.
