I want... (and I'm not demanding... just an observation) to keep the mood happy in here. I mean... life is not that long (it really isn't)... to lose time with negativity. And I've observed that any time I come in here, there is some negativity... people doubting if the show will survive before it has even started and etc. I get all of this... I respect everyone's opinions. But I also want to KEEP being happy. I know it may sound like I'm ignoring the negative and only focusing on the positive, but I do want to keep being excited.  And I agree 100 percent with everything that @Errol said.

Anything I've found strange or inappropriate... I've reported it. And that's all. We, the members, are still not admins, and never will be, to tell other people what they can and cannot post in here. Period. Of course we can disagree, but know that in the end... we are NOT the authority in this forum. That's why I said days ago that demands and requests of how other people should act, what to post, to not post, what to focus or not focus, are counter-productive. First - they're completely useless, if you are not an authority, and second - people do the exact thing they are asked not to do... the moment you ask them. 

And wanting to keep it positive... I want to share this clip of the wonderful and talented Tamara Tunie -  I am obsessed with finding clips and material with her. And imagining how she's going to play the role of Anita... And yes - I still like her first outfit that we've seen. I think it's iconic.

I think them teaming with NuTime Media will also be a major, contributing factor, as well.

Per their website:

❝ Founded by President-CEO Morris McWilliams, an experienced National Media Sales Executive, NuTime Media is a MBE Certified Black-Owned Media Ad-Sales Representation Company with offices in New York and Chicago.  NuTime Media specializes in the African American entertainment segment and media landscape.  While at his former company, Related Media Inc., McWilliams represented the National Ad-Sales for “The Wendy Williams Show,” “Steve Harvey,” “Arsenio Hall,” “House of Payne,” “Family Feud,” “Everybody Hates Chris,” “Girlfriends,” “The Parkers,” “Chappelle’s Show,” “Meet The Browns,” and “The Queen Latifah Show,” through “CBS Media Ventures,” "NBC Universal Television,” “Disney ABC Domestic Television,” “Sony Pictures Television,” “20th Television” and “MGM Domestic Television.”

NuTime Media has an Exclusive Partnership with CBS Media Ventures to represent many of the syndicator’s top-rated shows with African American audiences and to engage likeminded content creators to provide the advertising partners with more opportunities to reach this valuable consumer group in a very significant way on multiple platforms. ❞

The networks/shows they presently advertise through seem promising.

I seem to keep finding little tidbits by accident.

Meet the actor who's apparently playing someone named "Dr. Doug McBride" on the upcoming soap. Another doctor, eh? Oh, and does his last name ring a

I know I probably shouldn't say this but I'm loving all of these black faces being positioned to star on this show. Please let this be a success.

Don't trust IMDb. It is user-edited, and they have others on the cast, like: Michelle Visage (as Maya), Terra Jolé (as Leah), Greg Clarkson (customer #1), Contessa Metcalfe (as Tyra), Nina Parker (as Maggie) & Abby Lee Miller (as Lucia). All user-generated. And list Ron Carlivati as associate head writer, which we already know he isn't.

Today is the top of Week 3 of production. But I’m rewinding to Week 2 because these three women did a THING!!! Shouting out the #BeyondTheGates Glam Squad @jeresa_featherstone @symartmakeup @hairbywankaya and each of their teams. Every day they’re the first ones in, and the last to leave, transforming all that they touch. Thank you, Ladies for all your creative genius! Can’t wait to share!!!

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
