These are clips from the public livefeed youtube from the Paley center. They're hinting at spoilers as "something's coming" "big" "wow", etc but not outright saying any spoilers. They say when these things are coming and who might be affected, but nothing specific. They are not February spoilers, so I won't put them on the February spoiler thread, so I'll just leave them here But behind spoiler tags to be safe. - -

Yes this was on the public live feed youtube from the Paley Museum. I watched it and it was great. Hmm. I just checked to post the link but it seems they have since taken the youtube down. Well I'm glad I watched. I wanted to watch again I think Ms. Ducksworth said she sees the story 6 months in advance. And one of them said the tape-to-airdate gap is about three months.

Dani's been on the cover of a magazine (spoiler redacted). She doesn't need Forrester Creations! The magazine covers were created as props as framed pics on the walls of a set. I posted the pics at the beginning of the "BTG Feb. Spoilers" thread. The show arranged this with (redacted name of magazine). Pretty cool. The full article from the magazine is at (Link to article) (Don't peek at that link if you're avoiding spoiler pics or spoilers) I'll just quote the nonspoiler part of the article here: from Karla Mosley and RhonniRose Mantilla: Mosley is thrilled to be on a show that follows three generations of Black women. "A Black matriarch leading this and then her daughters is so refreshing, but also reflective of our culture. Women are the people who drive everything. It's why we talk so much right now about protecting Black women and thanking Black women. We have been carrying this country and this world on our backs for a long time," she shared. "It's exciting to see women who are self-made, who are our mothers, but also have their own businesses, lives, careers, passion and ambition, and also find a way to balance that with love for their family and community," Mosley added. Getting the chance to work with Tunie and Mosley is something that Mantilla cherishes. "I was raised by my mother and grandmother, so it means the world to me to be able to show strong Black women and learn from Karla and Tamara. It's an incredible opportunity." --

Why post this? Because he was at the party in LA. (yes I agree he's awful) but I posted for a reason. With his IG story pic with Karla Mosley, captioned "you're not ready for Dani Dupree", the ig story had background music of the song "Survivor" by Destiny's Child. MVJ writes the story, not Carlivati. Just wondering if maybe he's giving his take on the character of Dani. But probably just a lighthearted comment.

One example is the series' fictional version of HBCU (historically Black colleges and universities) Howard University called Banneker University. The name is a nod to mathematician, astronomer and author Benjamin Banneker and his contributions to Washington, D.C. https://people.com/beyond-the-gates-producer-promises-a-rooted-soap-opera-with-an-accomplished-black-family-that-is-messy-as-hell-exclusive-11681217

^ re: above IG post from Karla Mosely: The NAACP Image Awards are broadcast tonight Saturday Feb. 22. Obviously there will be a promo for BTG, since NAACP is coproducing BTG. Last night Friday Feb. 21, was the first ceremony called the "NAACP Image Awards Creative Honors". A lot of the awards were given out then, including in key categories. Maybe it's like the Emmys and Grammys having the key night televised with entertainers/headliners, but the day before also has important awards, sometimes on social media platforms. Clifton Davis and Karla Mosely were presenters last night for the Creative Honors. Brandon Claybon (character Martin Richardson) was also there.

Re: the recent repeats of Rome episodes from June 2023 ... The B&B cast did a lot of interviews in Italy in May 2023 during filming. They did a lot of press/publicity. KKL discussed with an Italian reporter how women characters are written on B&B. Press interview from "ANSA" (Agenzia Nazionale Stampa Associata), the National Associated Press Agency. (not-for-profit cooperative, whose members and owners are 36 leading news organizations in Italy.) The full ANSA article/interview was about Ridge, Brooke, and Taylor. https://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/cultura/tv/2023/05/15/brooke-un-amore-con-taylor-in-beautiful-chissa_3a32fd5b-c856-452b-b308-dd95e3f103b4.html Quoting excerpt of what KKL says about Brooke and about female characters on B&B. (Italy was behind USA in episodes; so what was airing in USA in 2023 had not yet aired in Italy.) Reporter: Chi è Brooke oggi? KKL: "Una donna che sa farsi valere. Continua a fare tanti errori ma ama la famiglia, è cresciuta, e cerca sempre di migliorare. Vorrei però tornasse più attiva professionalmente, con le sue linee di moda, e che pensasse più a se stessa". (rough translation via Google Translate) Reporter: Who is Brooke today? KKL: "A woman who knows how to assert herself. She continues to make many mistakes but loves her family, has grown up, and always tries to improve. However, I would like her to be more professionally active, with her fashion lines, and to think more about herself". Reporter: Le donne in questa soap come sono cambiate? KKL: "Secondo me all'inizio erano più forti e indipendenti anche per la presenza nel cast di attrici come Susan Flannery (interprete di Stephanie Forrester) o Darlene Conley (volto di Sally Spectra). È qualcosa a cui dovremmo tornare, perché oggi a volte appaiono più fragili, e quasi dipendenti dalla figura dell'uomo". (rough translation via Google Translate) Reporter: How have the women in this soap changed? KKL: "In my opinion at the beginning they were stronger and more independent also due to the presence in the cast of actresses such as Susan Flannery (Stephanie Forrester) or Darlene Conley (Sally Spectra). It is something we should go back to, because today they [woman characters] sometimes appear more fragile, and almost dependent on the man". ------- *** Obviously "Google Translate" is unreliable. Does anyone here speak Italian fluently? (not just looking things up in a language translation dictionary) _____ ^ Re: above KKL interview -- I was intrigued that she wants the women written better. I don't think she's ever said that to the US press?

I remember the part about Ava thinking she'd killed Nikolas after the Esme mess -- but Nikolas' life was secretly saved and he was held somewhere on life support. That much I knew. But I didn't know who was holding Nikolas. I guess that was a period where I couldn't watch and only occasionally skimmed recaps. I was aware that Austin was shady and that Mason was some creepy relative, but I never knew what all that was about. I had no idea that Cyrus was involved. So wait ... Cyrus messed with comatose nephew Nikolas *and* comatose niece Lulu? Ridiculous character. I'm just glad he's out of Laura's life.

From the Atlanta screening Wed. Feb. 16. Cast and guests at the screening, all wearing white. Reposting these clips with something to ponder.. Wondering about why they were cheering at the end of the second clip. The first clip shows the audience of cast & guests reacting to *that* scene, as the caption says. (sound up) zczc.mp4 --- The second clip shows the audience standing and cheering at the end, so either something very cool just happened, or perhaps they're cheering at the end of the episode to applaud its entirety. (sound up) fg.mp4

I just found this, but saw it was already posted here. What's new is that the full transcript of this interview was posted on the website of WJBF Channel 6 in Augusta, Georgia. Fascinating to hear/read Jibre's story. https://www.wjbf.com/community/black_excellence/actor-jibre-hordges-taking-audiences-beyond-the-gates/

Oh, thanks, I had no idea. Shows you how fascinated I was with those characters, LOL.

(I posted it back on page 348, but can't hurt to post it again. The more publicity the better!) I love that there's so much publicity so often, that it's hard to track what's already been posted on this thread. So amazing. Hard to keep up!

I'm glad you posted. I was confused, and didn't understand what you were posting about. I had watched the "next week" clip but couldn't hear all the words they were saying so I had paid little attention. But then I read the words of MVJ's tweet, so, curious, I sat down and I watched the end of the B&B episode on paramountplus with closed captioning. Dialogue referring to gates and going beyond them! Ha! Cool.

yes better trivia than some of the incorrect info on other news sites lately

In addition to all her videos and photos with her brother Jibre and all the cast and crew in Atlanta, Aleah Hordges also did a soap quiz with her coworkers in Cincinnati. She asked interesting soap history questions. https://www.facebook.com/aleahordges/videos/1329036758408548

"A look ahead" (preview video) for week of Feb. 24

Quotes from the Ebony article from Karla Mosley and RhonniRose Mantilla: https://www.ebony.com/ebony-photo-exclusive-black-love-reigns-at-cbs-new-soap-opera-beyond-the-gates/ Mosley is thrilled to be on a show that follows three generations of Black women. "A Black matriarch leading this and then her daughters is so refreshing, but also reflective of our culture. Women are the people who drive everything. It's why we talk so much right now about protecting Black women and thanking Black women. We have been carrying this country and this world on our backs for a long time," she shared. "It's exciting to see women who are self-made, who are our mothers, but also have their own businesses, lives, careers, passion and ambition, and also find a way to balance that with love for their family and community," Mosley added. Getting the chance to work with Tunie and Mosley is something that Mantilla cherishes. "I was raised by my mother and grandmother, so it means the world to me to be able to show strong Black women and learn from Karla and Tamara. It's an incredible opportunity." For both women, being featured in EBONY's cameo is a dream come true. "My grandmother had a shelf full of EBONY magazines, and when I was little, I would make vision boards. I would cut the models out because they looked like me...EBONY was the magazine to me growing up," Mantilla exclaimed. "When I found out that y'all were coming, it was like my childhood dream coming true. It's so full circle to me." Added Mosley, "I've been reading EBONY for many years, from the nineties when it was all that soft lighting and everything. It's cool to see that. The best part of this business is we sometimes see our dreams come to fruition."

https://www.ebony.com/ebony-photo-exclusive-black-love-reigns-at-cbs-new-soap-opera-beyond-the-gates/ We already know that Dani was once a famous model who gave up her career to marry Bill Hamilton and raise their daughters. We also already know that Dani's daughter Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) is a model. We've seen her in promos with a blue sparkly scarf over her head, being photographed, and saying she's going to outdo the Kardashians. The spoiler is that when Dani was a model long ago, she was on the cover of Ebony. And Chelsea has also been photographed by Ebony later on -- in a cover of Ebony that had both Dani and Chelsea on the same cover. The real-life Ebony magazine created these two "Ebony covers" of Dani and Dani/Chelsea -- as props for the show to hang on the wall of of one of the sets. The other spoiler is that in the photoshoot we saw in the promo of Chelsea with the blue scarf -- she's getting her picture taken and we see more of her wardrobe (with the Ebony covers on the wall in the background during the photoshoot)

Next week on Y&R (preview video for Week of Feb. 24)

Well yeah I don't want Lulu to be a mousey lab technician or math nerd. I think she could do something brainy *and* adventurous with science. (Just giving random ideas).

I saw some posts elsewhere suggesting Lulu be WSB, but I kind of wish that she *not* be into all the action/adventure Luke did. Some of that's fine, but I'd like Lulu to be her own person with her own career unique to her. I think she was a reporter before her coma, which is okay but not great. I don't think Deception fits her at all. I don't know, why not something entirely new like science or engineering? I mean, why not STEM. I'm discussing Lulu because she interests me. I don't care anything about Josslyn.
