I remember watching the AWA finale back on WoST - one of the few soap episodes I got to watch on there. It's so very of the time but also moving. I hope Clifton being back on daytime may cause something else from the show to appear. It will be nice to see him back in a major role. About 4-5 years ago he was on I Think You Should Leave, with Fred Willard (RIP), and he still looked great.

Clifton Davis is a GREAT casting choice! I watched all of That's My Mama over the summer, and one of the things that bugged me the most about it was that it was more about Clifton than about Mama, but that's neither here nor there 50 years down the road lol He's made a name for himself as a highly respected actor and even more respected man. He'll be the perfect patriarch.

I'm really curious as to know more technical things like video format, camera set-up, etc. At this point, I really have no preference either way. Most of me wants and needs this to look like a daytime soap, but I know the desire is strong for it to NOT look like one, especially if they're looking to make waves in the streaming market. I'll take whatever they have to do to ensure its success.

I'm sure it'll shoot a bit more like an American soap, with multi-camera. But judging from the photo Val Jean shared, I get classic soap mixed with TOLN-style/British style mixes. I'm excited that the directors are going to be NEW and likely exclusively to Beyond the Gates. I'm also hoping for [proper] 4K production. GH uses 4K cameras but isn't 4K, and DAYS has 4K lighting (per an interview with Melissa Reeves), but we saw how crap that looked for years, until Peacock dished for some camera upgrades (and while improved... it's still not good).

Makes me happy to see [some] darker wall colours, which I feel like isn't seen much anymore.

It's all coming together well but because I'm selfish and greedy, I have one more character/actor wish. The Dupree's have two daughters but are missing that one sneaky/manipulative son IMO (perhaps he shows up later?) I really liked this guy when he was on a primetime soap called "Saints and Sinners. His name is Keith D. Robinson.

"Levi Dupree" perhaps? Just a thought.

    • I agree. But Timon has chemistry with just about everyone but his character's wife. lol. I love the fact that Bill is so spiteful that he's messing with Martin and Smitty's marriage with what he knows.   Most def. And I love every moment of it with her Blair Waldorf coded self. I'm sure it will loop back around to the triangle soon enough.    I had a different theory on who Hayley is related to, but if her and June turn out to be related I wouldn't mind. Hayley definitely needs something to do other than stalk her husband.   
    • Oh I actually like that Vanessa has an sex addiction (or more to the dangers of it it seems)--there's a lot that they can do with it.  I just find the interactions we've seen with her and the men she roleplays with, always in restaurants it seems, are really weirdly scripted.  I mean I know a bit about roleplay, and this is just weird *that's all I'll say* LOL "The breakdown for the episode was ok, but some of the lines were a bit off (except during the Anita scenes and the Smitty/Bill scenes)" Completely agree with everything in this statement.  (And yeah, actually I find myself enjoying the low-stakes Anita storyline a bit to my surprise.  Far more interesting than just hearing them yet again bragging about how important they were to "the cause" and at all these marches, etc.  Even when Vernon proved such a bad singing--which of course we know the actor who has sung on Broadway isn't...)   
    • Omg...the way that Bill is manipulating Smitty and messing with his words. Oooo that's the type of scheming man I would think he would be.   Not Jacob at Silk Press Sheila's door to take her to the station!!!!    Nice cliffhanger. And look at next week!!!

    • I'll admit that I've been busy so I forgot to watch last Friday before it vanished off my system. And I actually was not too bugged. lol.   From what I saw of last week, I didn't feel anything for it except anything attached to Damian. Like his scene with Holden. Him listening to Lily and trying to give his job to Holden. And their disagreement was pretty good, ending on showing how strong their friendship can be. And I liked Lily telling Devon and Nate about what she did...and the disagreements that followed. And we know I enjoyed seeing how close (but not toooo close) Damian and Lily continue to grow.    Victor reading Billy will never not be funny with me. Of course, he already knows that Phyllis is on the warpath and that Billy hired Sally. And yet, Billy still he's going to best him? BOY, BYE.   While Chelesa was making good points to Adam, FF material after 5 minutes.   I hope the NEXT WEEK at least looked interesting. lol. 
    • -- That sock on Liam's head is ridiculous. Someone should have thought about how that would look day after day after day. -- We got an entire week of LIAM IS DYING, and it's been as bad as it sounds. -- This martyr act from Liam is too much. All of a sudden the guy has the answers to all relationship problems. -- Speaking of relationships, no one moves from one to the next like Carter...madly in love one minute, moving on the next. Not that I care. I don't care if Hope catches him with Daphne, and I don't care who he ends up with the week after that. I just don't care. -- Today we got Steffy repeating "Liam doesn't deserve this." We've heard the "doesn't deserve this" line all week. I mean, who in the hell "deserves" a brain tumor? This is beyond suckage writing.
    • Dani seems the type that blew through her trust fund before she hit 30.. so she probably doesn't have any liquid assets... and neither she nor Pamela seem like they're money smart. Vanessa seems to be into experimenting.   I think she and Doug both have addictions (his to gambling and her to the thrill of sex and/or getting caught). The breakdown for the episode was ok, but some of the lines were a bit off (except during the Anita scenes and the Smitty/Bill scenes) Bill/Smitty have chemistry.. shame they don't play for the same team.  The messiness if they did. Kat proves one doesn't need a romantic nor sexual partner to have an active role in a storyline.  Though I hope Eva/Tomas/Kat is revisted soon. June and Hayley talk alike, act alike, and even kind of look alike facially.   They better be related or why the casting for both actresses?
    • OMG!!!! ONE OF ANITA'S BANDMATE IS COMMMMMMMMINNNGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!    
    • I'll add that I did think the Bill/Smitty scenes were the best--played really well.
    • I am loving that Anita's story is off and running. And it's a slow burn.   OOoooo another Bill/Smitty scene. But I'm loving that the seed that Bill planted has really been growing over yesterday and now today's episode. Cuz Smitty going to Nicole...uh oh now.    Kat continues to be smart and love it. But hopefully she realizes she's getting played by Silk Press Sheila.    And probably in the minority, but I do like the June storyline so far. And it has not stalled really at all. It feels organic in terms of pacing.    
    • Well I'm always here for people singing my song when it comes to the New/Old writers. lol.  Same.   Also same.
