The brief online revivals of All My Children and One Life to Live (which shared sets) were filmed in Connecticut, likely because of how expensive filming in New York City is. Beyond the Gates probably picked Atlanta because of the pool availability of black talent in that region, plus the tax credits that make filming in Georgia less expensive.

They haven't done much with Kevin since they completed the Return of Ryan Chamberlain so I can't imagine it will be much conflict. As for New Guy, I wonder if he'll be Jeremy Horton.

I still think it's funny that they've got Susan as this Baby Boomer grandma with fully grown grandchildren but Kristen's walking around with a young daughter. They're supposed to be more or less the same age! I actually think Eric Martsolf would do really good with that kind of material. It would rip Brady up fully and completely.

It makes sense they recast Rachel then. This actress is good (and reminds me of how Star on One Life to Live was as a child), but this material might be beyond her. They'll need a child actor on the level of Douglas from Bold and the Beautiful, who put in some amazing performances.

Holy crap this Fake Rafe storyline is still going on. Jesus, Christ. It would have made the most sense for it to have ended with Rafe dramatically interrupting the wedding just as Fake Rafe and Jada were about to kiss. How is it that we speedran through Sarah's paralysis but this storyline seems never-ending?

It's funny because Joy isn't even that much of an SORAS. If we assume she's meant to be 25, that's pretty much only a five year SORAS at most. Joy was born in 2003.

I mean, I'm assuming they can't follow anything that the Little House on the Prairie 70's show did that wasn't in the book. So we'll see.

Dear god, no wonder Ron got fired.

You're right, it actually has been pretty good. I wonder if they got new people? Or if Peacock increased the wardrobe and hair budget? Even Marlena's blazers have gotten less boxy and more colorful. There's a Behind the Scenes tour and Cherie's black floral dress looks awesome. She talks at 6:25 about wardrobe and honestly, the whole look Cherie has there is great. Assuming this was filmed about 3 months ago, we should probably see this Gabi look in July.

Her house apparently burned down in the California wildfires. I don't know if she's still with him, but there's no indication they actually got married. She has kept photos of him on her Instagram and he's kept photos of her, so maybe they're still together? (But nothing after the accusations went out.) Bummer about Casey. I thought he was really good looking.

Damn. That's reminding me of the late Andrea Evans who had to quit her role on One Life to Live because she had a stalker. Honestly, if that's true, I don't really blame Charles for leaving. It's really not worth it, and we all know damn well how crazy soap fandom can be. I'm hoping he fled back to a place where he feels safe. Chris McKenna is a pretty solid actor. I don't remember him playing Joey, though, because I didn't start watching One Life to Live until 1995.

She played the world's tallest Annette Funnicello in a t.v. movie around the same time (mid-1990's) and yeah...

I don't, either. If he had a side hustle as a voice coach, he'd be all over social media selling himself as a vocal acting expert. Doesn't he have a podcast with Bradford Anderson? I would assume he'd be plugging his expertise all the time on that but I haven't noticed anything.

This EJ has chemistry with everyone. Except Sami, go figure.

I'm seeing it. It's subtle, but Doug is definitely giving her the heart eyes and Holly ain't minding that.
