Beyond the Gates December 2025 Spoilers

Ads will return. They pay the bills, and are the only reason I was able to get the upgrades done. That said, I don't anticipate as many as before.

Need To Know “The View” and “GMA3” were either excluded or retitled during the two-week carriage dispute between Disney/YouTube TV, resulting in neither show’s performance being reported by Nielsen in some or all key ratings categories. “General Hospital” initially set new series lows among Women 18-49 (0.10 rating) and Women 25-54 (0.16 rating) during the week of September 29-October 3, 2025, though a technicality due to preemptions as a result of ABC’s coverage of Major League Baseball Wild Card Series games having factored in the soap opera’s repeat broadcasts into the weekly average. “The Young and the Restless” sets new season highs among Women 18-49 (0.24 rating) and Women 25-54 (0.42 rating). During the week of November 3-7, 2025, which marked the first full week of the since-concluded two-week Disney/YouTube TV carriage dispute, ABC’s news programming, particularly “The View” and “GMA3,” was either excluded entirely or retitled, with both shows seeing their ratings results factored out of their weekly and season averages. The same could not be said for “General Hospital,” which officially set a new low in both demos, excluding the Wild Card Series preemptions in October that factored in repeats which aired in some markets. For the week, “General Hospital” tied for last place among Women 18-49 (0.14 rating), while just slightly ahead of last place “NBC News Daily” among Women 25-54 (0.21 rating vs. 0.19). The long-running soap opera averaged 1.789 million viewers, its lowest Total Viewers performance since the week of April 28-May 2, 2025. Compared to one week earlier, the ABC drama was down a mere -46,000 viewers (1.789 million vs. 1.835 million), down -0.02 among Women 18-49 (0.14 rating vs. 0.16 rating) and down -0.04 among Women 25-54 (0.25 rating vs. 0.21 rating). Meanwhile, time slot competitor “Beyond the Gates” averaged 1.531 million viewers, -258,000 fewer than its ABC rival, but placed ahead in Women 18-49 (0.16 rating vs. 0.14 rating) and Women 25-54 (0.25 rating vs. 0.21 rating). “Beyond the Gates” was up +0.02 week-to-week among Women 18-49 (0.16 rating vs. 0.14 rating) and up +0.01 among Women 25-54 (0.25 rating vs. 0.24 rating). The CBS drama was also an uptick of +8,000 viewers (1.531 million vs. 1.523 million). Compared to the year ago performance of former time slot holder “The Talk,” “Beyond the Gates” was virtually on par or flat in both demos, while up +238,000 viewers. “The Young and the Restless” and both half hours of “Let’s Make a Deal” saw the largest week-to-week increases among both key demos, though only the first half hour of the Wayne Brady-hosted game show saw gains among Total Viewers, up +10,000 (2.153 million vs. 2.143 million). The long-running soap opera saw its best performance among Women 18-49 (0.24 rating) since the week of August 18-22, 2025, marking a season high. The same could also be said about Women 25-54 (0.42 rating), with the show’s best performance in the demo since the week of August 11-15, 2025. “The Bold and the Beautiful” fell to fifth place among Total Viewers, behind the second half hour of “Let’s Make a Deal,” with the former averaging 2.466 million viewers vs. 2.488 million for the latter. Both shows saw week-to-week drops among viewers, but were up among both demos. The half-hour soap and the second half-hour of the game show were up +0.02 week-to-week among Women 18-49 (tie, 0.22 rating), while the first half-hour of the game show was up a significant +0.05 (0.22 rating vs. 0.17 rating). Among Women 25-54, the second half-hour of “Let’s Make a Deal” topped “The Bold and the Beautiful” (0.37 rating vs. 0.35 rating), with the game show up +0.04 week-to-week while the soap opera was up a mere +0.01. The first half-hour of the game showed an impressive +0.07 week-to-week gain among Women 25-54 (0.35 rating vs. 0.28 rating). “NBC News” daily continues to see a marked improvement among Total Viewers after just seven weeks into the 2025-2026 television season, though down from its week ago season high. The news program averaged 1.330 million viewers, down -102,000 week to week but up an impressive +108,000 compared to the same week last year (1.330 million vs. 1.222 million). Wrap-Up What follows is a breakdown of how the daytime broadcast shows performed during the week of November 3-7, 2025 among Women 18-49 rating, Women 25-54 rating, Households and Total Viewers, including week-to-week and year-over-year comparisons.

Correct. I added him because of the promo, but forgot the "surprise" part. Haha. I presume he's the surprise, but I also don't see why anyone would care.

👍

Thanks for catching that! Totally forgot to tweak, and didn't realize that mess. Will correct.

Need To Know Following the conclusion of the Friday, November 21 episode of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” actress Lisa Yamada seemingly confirmed her exit as Luna Nozawa. Luna “died” off-screen, with Deputy Chief Baker (Dan Martin) confirming she succumbed to her injuries after being hit by a car. Yamada won the Daytime Emmy in October 2025 for Outstanding Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series for her role on the half-hour soap opera. Emmy Award-winning actress Lisa Yamada has reportedly exited her role as Luna Nozawa on “The Bold and the Beautiful,” following last week’s reveal that the character succumbed to her injuries after being hit by a car, albeit off-screen. The news of Luna’s death was announced on-screen by Lt. Baker (Dan Martin), who, along with much of the fictionalized version of Los Angeles, was searching for the escaped convict throughout a lengthy chase scene that ultimately led to a supposedly victorious Luna getting struck by an oncoming vehicle towards the end of the Thursday, November 20 episode. The following episode opened with the news from Baker, who confirmed that the young vixen had indeed lost her baby while in police custody, something that might put many at ease, particularly members of the Spencer family, whom Luna had terrorized after she had previously assaulted Will (Crew Morrow). “So many tears shed, blood spilled, friendships formed, and memories made on @boldandbeautifulcbs,” commented Yamada in an Instagram post published on Friday, November 21. “What a ride it’s been! Hope you enjoyed the adventures <3 #LUNAtic4ever.” Yamada’s post went viral, and saw several of her castmates at the half-hour soap chime in, with Annika Noelle (Hope Logan), saying, “She’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she is the moment. Missing you already, superstar. We still have to do a TikTok together! Come back and kidnap Hope anytime.” “You’re an absolute warrior!!! To carry story the you way did, and command the screen is nothing short of amazing,” said Lawrence Saint-Victor (Carter Walton), who is also part of the show’s writing team. “To play the innocent ingenue, then the evil villain, to the broken character that just wants to be loved….. Chefs Kiss!! You’re amazing!” “Thank you, Lawrence. You’re the best!! Wish we got more screentime together,” responded Yamada to Saint-Victor. “Proud of you Rockstar ! exciting time! Many more incredible adventures around the corner. Enjoy tha riiiddee,” stated Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy Forrester). “Wish I could have done more with you girl! They threw so much at you…so many words, so much emotion and you rocked it all,” said Rebecca Budig (Taylor Hayes). Newly promoted executive producer of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” Casey Kasprzyk, responded, too, saying, “Lisa, it’s not easy to create a soap villain that leaves such a lasting impact, but you truly elevated #BoldandBeautiful, making the audience love to hate Luna while appreciating your incredible acting talents. Thank you for everything,” “Cool, so where am I?” joked Christian Weissmann (Remy Pryce). “Come home, the kids miss you,” said Laneya Grace (Electra Forrester), to which Yamada responded, saying, “Don’t get too comfortable, sweetheart.” Tanner Novlan Though indications by the show have the character dead for real this time, let’s recall that it was just a few short months ago that Luna was shot by Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) and reportedly killed after holding several individuals hostage, only for it to later be revealed that she was alive and recuperating thanks to her grandmother, Li Nozawa (Naomi Matsuda), the miralce doctor who also saved her son, John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan), who himself was reportedly killed after he too was shot, albeit at the hands of his birth mother, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). Over the past year, it was revealed that Finn was Luna’s biological father, a result of his affair with his adopted aunt, Poppy (Romy Park), which took place when he was an emerging adult.

An original is scheduled for December 24. Repeats or preemptions are likely on the 25th and 26th, however.

No tea, but I doubt Luna is actually dead.

On Sunday, November 23, “Star Trek” legend Jonathan Frakes joins his wife, Genie Francis (Laura Collins, “General Hospital”), in part two of her sitdown conversation with Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos, “General Hospital”) for his “State of Mind” podcast series. In an exclusive sneak peek, Frakes, who portrayed the iconic William Riker on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” for all seven seasons of the series, reflects on why the iconic “Star Trek” franchise continues to inspire such a devoted fan base, with the actor saying, “I think [Gene] Roddenberry created ‘Star Trek,’ built a future in which there was hope.” He added, “It’s a bit of a cliche, there was hope. There was no racism, no sexism. It was the prime directive, where you didn’t f**k with people on other planets. You let them do what they wanted to do. I think that’s how the prime directive goes… And more and more and more, we need that.” “‘Star Wars’ and ‘Star Trek’ are both exciting franchises, but ‘Star Trek’ provided, I think, more heart and promise and hope, and continues to… I mean, Gene left us in the third season of our show [‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’] back in 1990,” continued Frakes. “So talk about a legacy. Then they just announced something on Instagram yesterday, they sent his ashes up into space.” “I used to watch ‘Star Trek’ on TV, man,” said Benard, noting his connection to the original series. “Shatner and Nimoy, Spock and Bones, and Kirk, that’s who we aspired to. They had that chemistry, that ironic chemistry the three of them had,” said Frakes in response. “He’s still kicking it, 94,” commented Frakes of William Shatner, who played Captain James T. Kirk in the original “Star Trek” series. “I see him about once a month at a Con. Sometimes he’ll do two Cons in a weekend…He’s astounding.” “Sharp as a tack,” remarked Genie. “Sharp as a tack, curious, interesting, thoughtful, funny,” concluded in a sneak peek of Part Two of Genie Francis with Jonathan Frakes on “State of Mind with Maurice Benard,” premiering Sunday, November 23 on YouTube and all major podcast platforms. Frakes and Francis have been married since 1988 and have two children together. Watch the preview clip of their appearance on “State of Mind” below.
