Beyond Salem (2022)

In a first for daytime television, NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” launched an online companion series that will feature expanded storylines encompassing the adventures of some of its most popular characters. Entitled “Days of Our Lives: The Digital Series,” the first season, which launches Thursday, August 1, 2019, exclusively on The DOOL APP, will star Billy Flynn and Kate Mansi as the popular “Chabby” duo (aka: Chad DiMera and Abigail Deveraux) as fans follow their lives in Paris.

Kate Mansi (Abigail Deveraux DiMera) and Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera) will kick things off with an eight-episode arc titled Chad and Abby in Paris. The six – ten-minute episodes will be available on the NBC app and the NBC website a week following their initial release.

The first season of Days of Our Lives: The Digital Series focused on Chad and Abby in Paris before they return to Salem in the fall. Austin Reed (Austin Peck) will also be making an appearance, as the preview clip below sees Abby answering the door to her former obsession. Viewers will remember that during Carrie Brady’s (Christie Clark) recent visit home (for her grandmother Caroline's funeral), she had sex with Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) upon revealing her marriage was over. So, what does a newly single Austin want with Abby, the woman who once tricked him into thinking they had sex? That remains to be seen, but if the photos are any indication, it looks like he proceeds to make himself at home at the DiMera’s Parisian maison. We also know a character named Juliette (Rachele Schank) will figure into the series.

“This new scripted digital series was created to complement storylines while enhancing the viewers’ experience as they watch the broadcast show,” said Greg Meng, co-executive producer of Days of our Lives. “The DOOL App serves as our platform for delivering this and other original content to fans who want an interactive and multimedia experience as well as a way to stay connected to the show. Days has been a leader when it comes to innovation, going as far back as 1965 when we were the first to broadcast in color.”

The digital series was written by Days of our Lives’ head writer Ron Carlivati and produced by Corday Productions. The first three episodes will be available for immediate viewing while the remaining five will be released on a weekly basis. There have been talks about the making of season 2.[1]

The sizzling digital soap Chad and Abby In Paris is coming back with brand new episodes! After a stellar response to the first chapter of the Days of Our Lives series, the DOOL App will launch the next chapter. The story follows Salemites Chad (Billy Flynn) and Abigail (Kate Mansi) as they reside in Paris.

Chapter two kicks off this week with the couple getting a surprise visit from a fellow Salemite, who arrives in the City of Lights to stir up some drama between the two. Will Chad and Abby's marriage weather this latest storm or will they crumble under the pressure?

Flynn and Mansi return alongside Rachele Schank (Juliette), with newcomers Shawna Della-Ricca who will play Sylvie, Remington Hoffman as Li Shin, the son of DiMera board member Mr. Shin and a surprise for viewers![2]
