Soap Opera Digest: When were you first approached about returning what was your reaction?

Kristian Alfonso: I think it was toward the end of February when I was first contacted by [Executive Producer] Ken Corday. So, I received a call and then received a text the following morning, very early, and I thought, “Oh, my God, is everything okay? What’s happening?” I called him immediately and we kind of picked up where we left off in conversation a while ago. He said he was working on this project, and have I heard about it, which of course, I had. Just because I’m not on the show anymore and I left doesn’t mean that I’m not still interested in what’s happening over there. So anyway, he had asked me if I would be interested in joining the second installment of BEYOND SALEM and I said, “Honestly, what’s the story?” He said, “Well, you know what, I’m going to connect you with [Head Writer] Ron Carlivati and he can explain everything to you.” So I said, “Okay, cool. I’m always open to listening and hearing. Absolutely.” So that’s how it started, and then it evolved from there. I spoke to Ron and he was explaining the story to me, which was very exciting, I thought. It was fascinating and really piqued my interest. And I said, “You know, Ron, I’ve got to tell you, this sounds like so much fun.” I was so entrenched and had goose bumps as Ron was telling the story. I was just absorbing and really enjoying what he was telling me, what his idea was, and he shared with me that Peacock really liked it a lot and then we went from there.
