Forgot to post in this thread: Jamey Giddens has joined Beyond the Gates as a breakdown writer. I'm hearing Gregori J. Martin ("The Bay") left the series at the end of January, which is seemingly confirmed by a recent Instagram post he made.

CORRECTION: Gregori left at the end of January.

Said this in the other thread, but... Jamey Giddens has joined Beyond the Gates as a breakdown writer. I'm hearing Gregori J. Martin ("The Bay") left the series last month, which is seemingly confirmed by a recent Instagram post he made.

The debut of “Beyond the Gates” during the week of February 24-28, 2025 had a halo effect on the bulk of CBS’ daytime lineup, with “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful” up by substantial margins compared to their performance during the same week last year, Nielsen data shows. The veteran CBS soaps also hit new season highs among Women 18-49 and Women 25-54 rating, the two key sales demographics used to sell ad rates for daytime television programming. For the week, the network’s launch of its first new daytime soap opera since 1987, and the first new soap opera to premiere on network television since the debut of “Passions” on NBC in July 1999, ranked a solid No. 1 in its timeslot opposite “General Hospital,” where the two compete head-to-head in most markets. With its 0.25 rating among Women 18-49, “Beyond the Gates” ranked a solid sixth for the week among daytime broadcast shows, up +0.06 week-to-week from the performance of the preview special “Beyond the Gates: Welcome to the Neighborhood” (0.25 ratings vs. 0.19 rating), and up +0.09 from the year ago performance of “The Talk” (0.25 rating vs. 0.16 rating). Among Women 25-54, “Beyond the Gates” again ranked sixth for the week, averaging a 0.39 rating in the key sales demographic, up +0.09 from the week ago performance of the daytime preview special and +0.14 from the year ago performance of “The Talk.” “Beyond the Gates” marked the network’s best performance in the 2:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. PT slot since the week of March 7-11, 2022 among Women 18-49, and the best since the week of September 27-October 1, 2021 among Women 25-54 rating. The Young and the Restless As for the rest of the CBS lineup, “The Young and the Restless” was down slightly week-to-week among Women 25-54, averaging a 0.52 rating for the week, but the soap did manage to see an increase over its performance during the same week last year (0.52 rating vs. 0.45 rating). Additionally, among Women 18-49, the perennial ratings leader among daytime dramas was up week-to-week (0.35 rating vs. 0.31 rating) and year-to-year (0.35 rating vs. 0.30 rating). The Bold and the Beautiful “The Bold and the Beautiful” was also a big winner, up across the board. Among Women 18-49, the half-hour soap averaged a 0.31 rating, up +0.03 from one week earlier, and up +0.05 over its performance during the same week last year. Meanwhile, among Women 25-54, the soap hit a 0.47 rating for the week, up +0.02 from last week and +0.08 compared to the same week last year (0.47 rating vs. 0.39 rating). General Hospital Opposite its first soap competition since the cancellation of “As The World Turns” in October 2010, “General Hospital” was down week-to-week among both demographics, averaging a 0.19 rating among Women 18-49 and a 0.28 rating among Women 25-54. The Price is Right Elsewhere, “The Price is Right” remained the top show in key demos, with the game show’s second half-hour flat week-to-week among Women 18-49 (0.39 rating), while the first half-hour saw a nice week-to-week uptick (0.38 rating vs. 0.34 rating). The Drew Carey-hosted program was steady among Women 25-54 rating, with only the second half-hour posting week-to-week and year-to-year declines, albeit nothing to be concerned about. Wrap-Up What follows is a breakdown of how the daytime broadcast shows performed during the week of February 24-28, 2025 among Women 18-49 rating and Women 25-54 rating, including their performance during the comparable week last year. A closer look at how the daytime soaps performed, specifically their daily performance breakdown in the demos, will be posted shortly.

Are you saying the show is still on its first "day," or is this what that site is saying? In the world of Fairmont Crest, the show is on day 3. Dani and Hayley's confrontation was Day 1. The model photoshoot for Chelsea was Day 2, with Dani and Andre having sex that very night. The wedding was on Day 3, with Dani and Andre having a morning after conversation, Dani confronting Bill before the wedding, and then Dani pulling the gun on Hayley and Bill that very night. In fact, there were scenes where characters specifically said Hayley and Bill's wedding is on "Friday," so there is no way all this took place in one day.

“General Hospital” has cast actor and model Bryce Durfee in the recurring role of Vaughn, Josslyn’s (Eden McCoy) handler at the WSB. According to Soap Opera Digest, which first reported the news via an interview with the actor, Durfee makes his debut on the Friday, March 7 episode of the daytime drama series. “I was anxious in the sense that I didn’t know what to expect because I knew the soap world moves fast. But as far as the performance, I had just finished another project and was feeling loose and ready to go, so I was really excited for that,” said Durfee of his first day on the job. “That first day was just a whirlwind! I kind of felt like I got thrown into a washing machine and I got spit out an hour later [laughs],” he continued. “That’s kind of how I remember that first day. I can’t wait to see how it turned out!” It turns out that Durfee could have landed in Port Charles a lot sooner had the show cast him as Harrison Chase back in 2018 instead of Josh Swickhard, who happens to be a pal of Durfee’s from their modeling days. “It was down to me, Josh and I think a third guy,” Durfee recalled. “And the best man got it! Josh is absolutely fantastic, and I was really excited to run into him on [the] set recently.” Another “General Hospital” connection for Durfee comes from his time starring in the PassionFlix original series “Driven,” which also featured Charles Shaughnessy, who played Victor Cassadine on the soap opera from 2021-2023. Also starring in “Driven” was “Days of our Lives” alum Casey Diedrick (ex-Chad DiMera). The series ran for just three seasons and produced 16 episodes. Before he makes a name for himself in Port Charles later this week, which marks Durfee’s first speaking role on a daytime drama series, the actor previously appeared in a 2012 episode of “The Bold and the Beautiful” as a male model. Durfee’s other credits include roles on such shows as “Last Man Standing,” “Man with a Plan,” “9-1-1,” “Hacks,” “Baby Daddy” and “Aquarius,” among others.

Ahead of their annual “Live with Kelly and Mark After the Oscars” broadcast on Monday, March 3, “Live with Kelly and Mark” hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos interviewed Oscars host Conan O’Brien in a hilarious must watch moment.

I heard that too and wondered if it was an oversight with another scriptwriter using "Senator" instead of congressman about Martin Richardson and that it wasn't caught by production since it's clear that's the title he was given from the scripts Michele herself wrote. Otherwise, I can't imagine another politically involved Richardson being brought on or referenced since we know Martin is the one who has the secret. We'll see. (update) I forgot to add that when the person says "Senator Richardson," it's clear they are talking about Martin since it shows him eavesdropping on someone (Nicole?) and then he meets with his mother at the Country Club, telling her, "You need to be the first one to know." Sounds like a writing oversight to me.

Although news of his exit from “General Hospital” was first announced in December, with his character being killed off after being injected with digitalis by Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), actor Evan Hofer has now officially exited the daytime drama series with his name removed from the show’s contract cast list as shown at the end of the Friday, February 28 episode. The change in status comes as Hofer continued appearing on the series, often in flashbacks and mourning scenes involving Dex’s girlfriend, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), despite remaining a corpse. He most recently appeared in a flashback where Cyrus removed Dex’s hospital band while his body was in the General Hospital morgue. Making his daytime debut in the soap opera’s May 6, 2022 episode, Hofer’s name had appeared on the contract list between cast members Josh Kelly (Cody Bell) and Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine). Earlier this week, the meet the cast page on the show’s official website was updated with the removal of former contract cast, including Hofer, Tajh Bellow (TJ Ashford), Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos), Charles Mesure (ex-Jack Brennan) and Kelly Monaco (Sam McCall). Despite being off contract, there’s no word yet on whether this is the last we have seen of Dex Heller in Port Charles. That said, it’s unlikely the character will be alive if he does return. Before joining “General Hospital,” Hofer made his onscreen debut in the 2010 film “Everyday Kid.” One year later, he began his run as Randy in the Disney XD original series “Kickin’ It.” His additional TV credits include appearances in episodes of “Modern Family,” “The Haunted Hathaways” and “Lethal Weapon,” among others. In 2018, Hofer co-starred in the film “Run the Race,” which followed two brothers in a small Southern town facing escalating problems with two different worldviews, straining – but ultimately strengthening – the bonds of brotherhood. The movie also starred Tanner Stine, Frances Fisher, Kristoffer Polaha, Mario Van Peebles and Mykelti Williamson, among others. From 2019-2021, he starred in the BYUtv series “Dwight in Shining Armor,” a modern take on what would happen if the middle ages came to middle America. Hofer played the role of Chlodwig, whose job is to train Dwight (Sloane Morgan Siegel) in knighthood.

BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread

James Houghton, best known to soap fans for his role as Kenny Ward on “Knots Landing” and a four-time Daytime Emmy Award-winning writer on “The Young and the Restless,” has died. He was 75 years old. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the beloved actor and writer passed away at his home in Encino, California on August 27, 2024 of peritoneal mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer that affects the lining of the abdomen, known as the peritoneum. His death was only recently disclosed by his wife, Karen Houghton, the outlet reported, stating, “She did not want to discuss his death until today.” Born James Carter Houghton on November 7, 1948 in Los Angeles, Houghton was the son of Buck Houghton, a producer on the first three seasons of CBS’ “The Twilight Zone.” That connection helped land the then younger Houghton a role in a 1962 episode of “The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank,” marking one of his first onscreen appearances. Among his memorable roles on television, Houghton portrayed Greg Foster on “The Young and the Restless” from 1973-1976, and had roles on such shows as “Dynasty,” “Code R,” “Barnaby Jones,” “Fantasy Island,” “Hotel,” “The Love Boat,” “The Colbys” and “Remington Steele,” among others. On “Knots Landing,” Houghton’s portrayal of record producer Kenny Ward from 1979-1983 amounted to his appearance in 66 episodes of the hit CBS primetime soap opera, playing opposite onscreen wife, Kim Lankford, who played Ginger. Their characters were one of the original four couples living in the fictional California-based cul-de-sac. Outside of acting, Houghton segued into television writing when he landed a script writing position at “Days of our Lives” in 1981. He would go on to write scripts for “Knots Landing” and the series “Tales from the Darkside.” Starting in 1991, he landed another writing position, this time as a script writer on “The Young and the Restless,” working under the show’s then head writer and co-creator, the late William J. Bell. Houghton remained a writer for the long-running series until 2006, having written close to 2,000 episodes and maintaining such positions as breakdown writer and associate head writer before eventually landing his final writing credit at “The Bold and the Beautiful,” the sister soap of “The Young and the Restless” which was also created by Bell. During his brief time at the half-hour soap opera, Houghton worked under the show’s head writer and executive producer, Bradley P. Bell. Houghton won four Daytime Emmy Awards for his work on “The Young and the Restless,” taking home the statue alongside the show’s team of writers in 1992, 1997, 2000 and 2006. Throughout his long run at the series, he received 13 nominations overall, while also taking home two Writers Guild Awards for his work out of four nominations. Houghton is survived by his wife, Karen; his sister Mona, who he co-wrote three episodes of “Knots Landing” in 1982; his mother, Wanda; his children, Daniel and Alisa; his son-in-law, Jim; and his grandson, Milo.

Love your format! Not sure if you need to use the "hide the contents" button, but it works aesthetically.

I didn't even think of that! OMG, another soap we can do episode counts for! Yay! I'm not committing myself, but I think I'll do a re-watch this weekend to at least help it get started for anyone who might want to do it.

First announced earlier this month, actor Jon Lindstrom (“General Hospital,” “Port Charles”) has joined the cast of “Beyond the Gates” in the recurring role of Joey Armstrong, a casino owner who doesn’t like trouble but has no problem with getting rid of it. Lindstrom debuts in the Friday, March 7 episode of the daytime drama series with his character sharing his first scenes with Doug McBride, played by Jason Graham, who is also on recurring status with the series. During a press junket last month, Lindstrom said of his character, “I would describe Joey as a bit of an entrepreneur in a kind way. Joey comes from the other side of the tracks. He has fought his way up in many ways but he’s never lost his charm.” Additionally, Lindstrom says, “Joey runs a casino, which if you’ve ever been inside a casino, you know, a casino is kind of like what a bar is to an alcoholic. So, people can get into a lot of trouble around Joey, and Joey doesn’t like trouble. He knows how to end trouble, but he doesn’t like trouble.” One of the things that drew Lindstrom to the role was his connection to series creator Michele Val Jean, who also serves as the show’s head writer, showrunner and executive producer. “Everybody knows that Michele is the best writer in the business, and they don’t want to admit it, especially if they’re another writer, but she is the very best in the business. And to be able to come down here to this brand-new studio—this brand-spanking new studio where you could eat off the floor. I mean, usually we walk into stages where there’s dust from 1949,” commented Lindstrom of the experience of working at the show’s brand new Atlanta-based studio. “To come here every day, every single member of this cast—this incredible cast—and this crew, who are so happy to walk through those doors every day and be a part of something—so, to me, to everybody, I think it is so groundbreaking, that’s the most special part of it all.” Jon Lindstrom CBS Addressing the show’s costume designer Jeresa Featherstone (previously from “The Bold and the Beautiful”) for her and her team’s hard work, Lindstrom notes, “I just think we have to point out the clothes. Jeresa’s designs and what she’s done to make everyone look fabulous is really just stunning to me. And I’ve said this to Cady [McClain; Pamela Curtis] and to Michele. Every time I do a wardrobe fitting here, I say to Jeresa, ‘I don’t have any clothes like this in my closet, and I don’t know why.’” Before joining “Beyond the Gates,” Lindstrom is probably best known for his portrayal as Lindstrom Kevin Collins on “General Hospital,” having joined the show initially in 1992, playing the nightmarish Ryan Chamberlin. By 1993, he began playing dual roles when the show introduced Ryan’s twin brother, Kevin. With the continued success of “General Hospital,” ABC commissioned a spinoff in hopes it would help correct sagging ratings in the timeslot preceding “All My Children,” which was previously held by the likes of “Loving” and “The City.” In June 1997, the network introduced “Port Charles,” which saw a few of the parent show’s characters segue into the spinoff, including Kevin, and would often allow for crossover appearances. Later canceled in 2003, Lindstrom returned to “General Hospital” in a recurring capacity until 2004. After a nearly nine-year absence, Lindstrom once again reprised his role as Kevin on “General Hospital,” appearing on recurring status, with Kevin now married to Laura Collins (Genie Francis). In 2010, Lindstrom received his first-ever Daytime Emmy Award nomination for his portrayal as Craig Montgomery on “As The World Turns,” nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, where he appeared alongside McClain’s Rosanna. He later received nominations for his “General Hospital” work as Kevin in 2019, 2020 and 2023, the latter of which was for Outstanding Supporting Actor. For a sneak peek at what to expect from Lindstrom, and what’s going to happen next week on “Beyond the Gates,” check out a promo for next week’s episodes below.
