This is only a minor spoiler for what has aired so far including today's episodes but not spoilers for the future, just speculation and "wishing." Because sadly, we all know Days no longer has the budget..

SPOILER ALERT if you haven't seen today's episode yet... Minor one as it's not a huge plot point...

But Leo and Dimitri discussing going to Rome today had me thinking, what if a bunch of Days characters ended up in Italy and somehow all got pulled into an adventure?

The obvious is of course Belle and Chad, and the thought that something could happen to them with the chess board mystery. If Leo was in Italy and ran into Chad but then Chad went missing, he would want to find him despite Dimitri's objections.

Meanwhile, I was thinking what if Cat taking care of EJ while sick made him have a flashback that he was determined to go visit the facility. He would invite Cat who would reluctantly agree both for her own memory but also to try to cover up any evidence linking her to the ISA. Which, Dimitri finally recognizing her could complicate things too! But both would care about Chad & Belle.

Meanwhile, we have Philip that might be going to nearby Monte Carlo, and maybe Gabi goes with if she's fronting the money. And maybe something goes wrong and they end up on the run, crossing into Italy...

Possibly Kristen could be hiding out there. I don't think she is because of the actress resting while doing Y&R, but throwing it out there.

And back home, Marlena that has been reluctant to get involved might find herself pulled in for the sake of her daughter. But maybe she enlists the likes of Patch, Brady, Paul, any of them as well.

Ideally there would be something with Sami just because of location, but we know that's unlikely too.

As I said at the start, I don't think Days has the budget or scale for this sort of thing anymore. I really wish it did. But if it did, is there anyone else you would have end up in Italy for a crossing paths adventure, and what would be the reason you would have them over there?

She's had an incredible career in her own right, but I was a bit unsure about posting about the mom of a star until I saw her other son David was involved as a director on Days of Our Lives. She might not have been on it herself but that makes her doubly connected to the show. Condolences to Charles, David, & all their loved ones.

I know this has been posted about but we now have an official release confirming this for Sunday August 23rd at 7/6c, seemingly preempting Jetsons & Flintstones for the night and airing ahead of Sunday Cartoon All-Stars. It looks to just be an hour worth of shorts, though I'm not sure if all are airing in whole because that seems like a lot listed for one hour. It's mostly Roadrunner ones, though Compressed Hare is on the list, and there is an embedded video promo at the bottom that confirms it is only meant to be an hour special. Check it out at the link!

Wouldn't it be funny if we found out Wig Guy has been a spy for EJ all along, and that's why he's always showing up in different places with different looks?

The thought occurred to me when Leo was pondering EJ knowing what he was up to... while Leo was wrong in this case, Wig Guy was in the background!

If that extra ever decides to leave, I hope they give him such a reveal on his way out and include a montage of his "spying" 😆

If your station was down/black as mine was, check it. Mine just came back on!

ETA: There are now commercials so they must have been switching feeds and encountered an issue in doing it as I doubt they intended to be down that long.

ETA 2: Apparently they still use the countdown clock some. Both commercial breaks I saw briefly showed it at the start, but the second commercial break I saw was fully the clock for the last 30+ seconds. Maybe it depends what they sell for ads. A big difference from MeTV Toons having all their custom bits to fill their time. Comes off a bit sloppy in transitions but will take what we can get to have some of these shows back on. :)

"As for Peacock, executives did warn that “profitability is going to vary quarter by quarter, just based on the timing of sports schedules and other content hitting one quarter versus another,” suggesting that the service could return to the red in future quarters, and recommending that analysts compare its performance year-over-year, rather than quarter-to-quarter."

Seems like it may have been driven by sports and no mention of Days but we have had a lot of posts about the Days budget (or lack thereof) and certainly this is a contributing factor. Maybe if they can begin to show profits more regularly and if this isn't just a fluke, they can pass a bit more down to Days.

I replied with this in the other thread but feel it was missed by most, so am posting it as its own post. Full half hour interview with Deidre from TV Insider. :)

For those that enjoy watching Peter Porte as Dimitri, he is going to be in a Hallmark movie a week from Saturday (June 20th) along with Lyndsey Fonseca (ex-Colleen on Young & Restless but better known for shows like Nikita, HIMYM, Desperate Housewives, Big Love, 911 Lone Star, and Turner & Hooch).

The series Cary Christopher (ex-Thomas) left for, It's Not Like That, is now on Prime, I believe as of this past Friday. It was available on Wonder Project, which is a faith-based service that can be an add-on, since January, but is now on regular Prime. If renewed for season 2, it will probably be on Wonder first again, though no news on that yet.

He also has a small role in Spider-Noir, which releases on Prime on May 27th after first premiering on MGM+ May 25th. He wasn't in the trailer so not as prominent here as in the family drama, but is listed as recurring.
