On September 6th, Days of Our Lives is getting a limited series over on Peacock called Beyond Salem. The week-long event is bringing back several familiar faces that we haven’t seen in Salem for a while.
One of those faces is so iconic to the show that one of her was not enough. Therefore, we will get Lisa Rinna as Billie Reed and RuPaul’s Drag Race’s Jackie Cox as, well, we don’t know, but they look like her, whichever she, she is.
Rinna is not the only star to return. She will be joined by Charles Shaughnessy as Shane Donovan, Thaao Penghlis as Tony DiMera, Leann Hunley as Anna DiMera, Christie Clark as Carrie Brady, Austin Peck as Austin Reed, Greg Rikaart as Leo Stark, Chandler Massey as Will Horton, Zachary Atticus Tinker as Sonny Kiriakis and Peter Porte as Kyle Graham.
What is bringing them all together? Over a long weekend, John (Drake Hogestyn) & Marlena (Deidre Hall) travel to Zurich, Ben & Ciara have a romantic getaway in New Orleans, Chad visits some old friends in Phoenix, and Abe (James Reynolds), Paulina (Jackée Harry), Lani, and Eli vacation in Miami. All find themselves embroiled in a mystery involving stolen jewels which, in the wrong hands, could cause dire consequences for Salem. It’s a race against time for ISA agent Billie Reed as she crosses the globe in search of this missing treasure.
Hopefully, if this does well, we get more week-long specials from the Soap Opera on the streaming service. So, make sure to stream new episodes every day the week of September 6th.
Lisa Rinna did an interview with PEOPLE in the 90s, and she talked about a show she was in that decade. They asked her what was her most surreal moment when she was on Days of our Lives, and she gave them a titillating answer.
“Having an affair with the guy who played my brother,” she said. “Well, not an affair, but a couple of one-night stands with the guy who [played] my brother. Patrick Muldoon and I had like, a thing.”
She is not the only star who can say that. Jennifer Aniston dated her TV brother Charlie Schlatter when they worked together on Ferris Bueller. Schlatter isn’t the only Ferris Bueller to do this; Matthew Broderick and Jennifer Grey also dated for a while.
Dexter’s Micahel C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter took it one step further and got married. And we can’t forget about the Brady Bunch kids or the teens from The Partridge Family.
However, Emily VanCamp gets the award for dating not one but two TV brothers. She dated Chris Pratt when they were on Everwood and Dave Annable on Brothers and Sisters, ironically enough. At least, she married her TV husband in real life, so there is that.
We have seen Lisa Rinna as a brunette and blonde, and now she has pink hair. Why did she change it up? Because she wants her locks to match her lipstick that is part of her Rinna Beauty Pinky Lip Kit that is out now.
Let’s get back to the Real Housewife’s hair. I think she really should dye her hair this color. What about you?
Lisa Rinna got the second shot for the COVID-19 vaccine. She said that she wasn’t feeling well after she got it. I am wondering did she get the shot in her face, instead of her arm, because it is looking even fuller than normal. Plus, I assume, she is used to getting shots in her face. Too soon?
