‘Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem Chapter 2’: What Did You Think of The Premiere Episode?

29
Ah… I guess now the secret is out, that Meagan Hathaway managed to escape from Hell.
Those damned DiMeras always manage to get out. I think they’re giving Cerberus some drugged steaks again..
Bo better be careful breaking the rules up in Heaven. They don’t take that very well up there, how do you think I ended up down here??
Definitely not as good as season 1.
We better get more clarity on Hope’s real reason for staying away for the past two years!
I don’t remember Megan Hathaway at all so I don’t know what is going on in that storyline.
How can this character show up all over the world at the same time? Or are these events not happening at the exact same time?
Some of it was good, some of it was bad, lots of confusion!
This was from the early 80s so my aging Devil memory might be a little fuzzy on the details but anyway…. Megan Hathaway grew up in Salem, and was Bo Brady’s girlfriend in high school. She wasn’t raised as a DiMera and (like most of Stefano’s other kids) found out much later who her real parents were. Meanwhile Megan never really got “over” Bo, so of course she wanted Hope out of the picture, permanently. She arranged for a little hot tub accident where Hope would be electrocuted, but somehow the plan went wrong and Megan ended up frying herself… Read more »
Well Satan, God is my main man, and He created you. Remember that once you occupied one of the loftiest positions in God’s Kingdom. And if the Bible is true, and I believe it is, you will again. We have all fallen, and will be restored! Just wanted to say that I read most of your posts. Generally agree, sometimes agree, sometimes really agree, sometimes vehemently disagree but I love the depth and complexity and soap knowledge in your posts. I was going to type a similar post to clear up some of the Megan Hathaway confusion … when I… Read more »

Would love to read it, if it exists, but it surely can’t be found at Amazon.
Exactly Richard. I guess the devil powered that van Steve Burton was driving. He went from one city to the next with a whole other fake delivery outfit within one scene and it was jarring. With an exploding pizza no less. Not here for improbable nonsense.
Well… San Francisco to Seattle is actually a fairly short flight… but then he was back to Montreal soon after that, and that was presumably after dropping John & Steve off in Caracas…. now that’s where the real time discrepancy is. Maybe he’s got access to a Starfleet teleportation device somehow??
No Devil powered vans though, that much I can promise you!
Chapter 2 was the best!! I hope that continue with Bo and Hope!!
Poor production quality – cheap looking sets (is Heaven really furnished at World Market?) and questionable wardrobe (there’s so much better fitting/looking pride outfits than the hoodie they gave Paul).
Megan “died” before John (then Roman) and Steve were ever on DAYS so neither should know who she is. I’m all for digging into the past for current and future stories but it has to make some sense.
John & Steve have immersed themselves in all things DiMera over the decades, so I’m sure they are aware of all of Stefano’s kids, whether they ever actually met them or not. And in John’s case, he might just have some residuals of Roman’s memory floating around in his brain, so maybe he does “remember” her, in that capacity.
It was silly. The fight scene was awkward. Bo watching Earth on a heavenly TV with crumbled pillars all around him was utter nonsense. It should be called Beyond Salem: The Harmony edition. Straight out of Passions. Just no.
Not impressed.
Whatever plot twists ensue, just remember: Steve Burton’s character killed 2 people in the first scene of the first episode. So his character is no hero. And as someone else said recently, he’s playing the same type of character in Beyond Salem as he did in GH. The “stunt” casting isn’t worth the effort.

I’ve been playing catchup and just saw the scene with Hope and Burton’s character and he’s asking her for help, claiming Megan has done something to make him the way he is.
Hello Violet. Very good point.
Haven’t watched yet. Looks campy.

It is, it is!
I absolutely love what you have done bringing bsck our favorites. I would so love this to be continued indefinitely. This was a genuine move. Kudos to you all. I’ve watched Days of Our Lives since I was 15 years old. My second man and I would watch it together. I’m now 68 years old and still watching. Keep up the good work.
I just hate that I can’t watch!! Not everyone has wifi or internet available so it seems so very unfair!!

I get it through my Cable provider on Peacock.
Boy, love how Steve and Kayla are helping Shawn cope with the new baby while at the same time are being kidnapped “Beyond” by Jason/Harris. Small world, for sure!
I absolutely love it, I can’t wait for the next chapter, A BIG FAN
Hope, being kissed by “some guy”and so thouroughly was as if it was done for someone’s benifit,, but who? She didn’t really try hiding it from Ciara but it was still kind of crazy.
It’s terrible
Days of Our Lives Beyond Salem -Chapter 2 must be given outstanding appreciation and recognition for their Pride Party scene with father and son characters John Black & Paul. The committment and respect for diversity diversity in storytelling is Days strength making the stories universally interesting, compelling and progressive. The entire cast is brilliant. Special mention must go to Loretta Devine as Angel Angela, Victoria Grace (Wendy Shin- Remington Hoffman as brother Li- Colton Little as Andrew & Christopher Sean as Paul.
Congratulations to all in work well done.
I’ve never watched DOOL, so after all the hype I thought I would give Beyond Salem #2 a try last night. All it took was Steve Burton to shot two men in the opening to make my decision. I will not be watching it in the future.

I didn’t know you didn’t watch Days but what an awful way to get started.
This guy that Steve plays will probably not be in it in the future and he blamed his murderous ways on this woman I call his handler. He said at the end he wants to be a better person. Why don’t you just try watching the regular daily show when it starts?
Violet…Maybe I will give Salem another try. But years of stories and characters leave me a lot to catch-up on. The three I do watch already drive me crazy so I will see if I want to add Salem and it’s angels and devils. :)))
