The Behind The Scenes thread is not a spoiler thread.  So spoilers, including casting information, do not belong in here.  The "behind the scenes" information specifically related to casting should go in either the spoiler thread or the Salem International thread which discusses. departures and arrivals thread.

If you will permit me, I’m going to get on my soapbox and make a comment about healthcare in the US. Recently I read about Bryan Datillo’s wife battling breast cancer. (soaps.she knows). Happily for t

Because in some cases people will actually NOT live?  People want to think the earth is flat, go for it, think the moon is made of cheese, have at it, but excusing/dismissing things like public health

For me personally, it isn't about someone being right-wing or conservative or whatever.  I simply cannot see how ANY woman with an ounce of self-respect (or any man who claims to respect women) could

Yeah me too. I read it was a scheduling thing, that she just couldn't get there in time for that day of shooting...

...but maybe that's a cover story? Maybe they lowballed her on her rate and she held out until they finally reneged? Who knows.

The show also keeps to a tight budget when it comes to characters per episode, which I'm sure they exceeded with the varioua returns we saw.

And Hope is doing more episodes in the next few months than any of the others, so maybe they had to keep her separate from the big day to even out the costs or something?

I don't mind that some characters are filtering into the Doug story, but Hope, JJ and Chad should have all been there in person on the day.

I figured that Catharina would be cast eventually.  They really are establishing the Greenes if they're also casting her.

Maybe the Hortons and Chad will finally let up on Cat when they see that she's real.

I just need her to be retconned away from Konstantin. Victor, Steve, John, I don't care, make one of them her father so Konstantin doesn't have 5 relatives. Victor would make the most sense as he loved to impregnate other people's wives. Also that would make Aaron Victor's grandson which would be fun.

I think we have enough Kiriakises.  With so many intermingling families, a whole new bloodline is a good idea.

I didn't mind the character, but this is pretty ridiculous. Not only is the daughter he obsessed about and ruined his life - and Victor and Maggie and John and Theresa's lives! - trying to avenge actually alive...

...but she has FOUR kids?

Come on. That's a bit much. I mean, by all means expand the Salem cast with a new family, but maybe not a five-person clan all at once, with a rather convoluted history.

ALM actually seems to resemble SEM a bit - or maybe it's just her wavy hair in that photo - so that's nice I suppose.

So...who do you think she's being brought onto the canvas for? It's a lame question, but often a big reason for why a character debuts: to be a love interest to someone else.

Most of the Salem men in her age bracket are married already, right?

Eh, Eduardo and Adriana had four children all come on pretty close together, too, and the Hernandezes have surprisingly worked, so you never know.

Was Johnny and Chanel the best wedding on soaps? I am surprised it would be a Days wedding considering how cheap they are. However I would've gone for Brook Lyn and Chase on GH not because I think they are a good couple(I don't actually) but it reminded me of soap wedding of yore and looked like more thought was put into it.

I don't even remember Johnny and Chanel's wedding. Wasn't it in the hospital when Paulina was sick/thought she had cancer?

EDIT: Yes, it was. I commented before I read the link, haha.

I thought they did it based on budget constraints. The last actual wedding with a budget was Ciara and Ben, and I don't think they actually got married before she was kidnapped.

They did.  But it was Ben who was kidnapped right after.  Ciara was kidnapped a month after Ben was rescued.

They did. I remember them prancing down the aisle like douchebags and then the bomb going off that separated them.

Who was the kidnapper again? I loved that guy.

TIIC blew out the budget for Ben and Ciara and gave Ericole the saddest little wedding ever. I've never gotten over that.

I don't remember them acting like "douchebags," but those are clearly the words of a hater, so whatever.  *rme*

Vincent Belman was the kidnapper, played by an Australian actor.  I thought that they'd keep him as a villain for Ben and Ciara, but he apparently killed himself offscreen in prison.

That didn't bother me.  Unlike you, I'm not really an Eric/Nicole fan.  I've liked each of them in relationships away from each other more than with each other.  I'm only okay with them being together when there's no one else for either of them.  So I didn't mind the bare-bones wedding that they got.
