I wish all the shows were 1/2 hour and if they were bring the cancelled ones by and make them all a half hour..Daytime TV was made for soaps..Leave it to the bigshots to mess this up with their outdated "rating" system that they throw at us everytime they cancel a show..copout is what it is.

Ugh to Katie being a walking PSA on transgenders. She was stupid when she said its 2015, and no one would care if the FC lead model was born a man. Its not about Maya being a model; its about her being with Rick. If this came out about any celebrity in real life, the world would care and it would be a big sensational story.

What was the point of Wyatt learning the secret and telling Bill so they could blindside Rick, only to have him tell Ridge that he told? Now we have Ridge over to stop the headlines before it becomes a scandal (which it should be)

Im sorry but I dont want Maya to get a happy ending with Rick. They dont deserve one and I hate the direction that this story is going.

Well people, blame GLAAD for this story being so PC. It's been said that Brad is consulting with them. Seeing as I am a member of the LGBT community, I am not too thrilled with this story being so PC either. I've said from the start that I wanted grit, and I actually would like for Rick to go off the deep end and brutally attack [not kill] Maya once the secret come out. That's a current event that is in the news and still hot. For it to be made a story would make B&B hotter than it is now.

Soaps gotta stop worrying about offending people. That's what they are supposed to do so they can open people's eyes.

I've had man issues with the Maya story and Rick/Dick personality turn. I wasn't thrilled with the PSA aspect, but I've reconsidered. B&B is camp and it's good that they aren't treating it in a sensational or shocking way. The blackmail hasn't been great and not the S/L choice I woildve made but I get it.

I'm glad they let Maya tell Rick. Oh and I loved $B's headlines: Rick Forrester in a Trans. Dead!

Rick was giving me Joey Tribbiani from Friends aura all through that dialogue. That dialogue made Rick look like someone incapable of dressing himself in the morning let alone running a successful fashion house. By the time Maya got to the birth certificate, Rick should've figured it out--most teenage boys today would've picked up on what Maya was alluding to.

Well, $Bill is lending some soap authenticity to the storyline with his reaction, even though it didn't really come off as the truth when he claimed it wasn't about Maya, it was about Rick. Of course, it's about both of them, or he wouldn't be using one to get to the other.

Still, I'm reasonably entertained and it's a helluva lot better than that crap formerly known as the Young and the Restless.

    • Olivia did have a good reason for what she did. Still, I'd think she would be slower to pass such harsh judgment on Lois since she knows what she herself lived through. I'm hoping we get a softer Olivia when she reflects on everything.   I'm going to disagree with this. I don't think the character has been ruined and trashed, and I don't think it's impossible to come back from this. Yes, a great case can be made that this is out-of-character for Lois, but I can also make a case for people doing out-of-character things when life deals us crazy and impossible moments. Because of the story we're getting from this, I think it was worth putting Lois into this situation.

    • Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum but I have been a soap opera fan for only a few years. I started watching General Hospital in the 2010s on tv due to boredom. It wasn't good but it was okay enough to get curious about the soap opera genre. When I eventually got internet I started researching 90s and 2000s General Hospital. I have started only recently researching 80s and 90s Days of Our Lives. I was shocked when I found out that a black soap opera is going to be made, especially because the genre as a whole was on a downward trajectory. Now here I am as a black woman seeing a soap opera from the start. I'm all for Beyond the Gates succeeding.

    • That was so surprising to me today. I didn’t see any spoilers that this was coming up so I loved it!
    • Well, VI was leaving, and while Long admits that killing him was stupid...I do agree with letting him go with a big bang...body missing.  They spent a lot of time and money on Infinity, (which I think might have gotten a bit of a better reputation had it not been the harbinger of a total tonal change with the Bauers and Reardon's decimated and its all Reva and the Lewis and the weird people hanging out around Kyle) so they needed it to end dramatically. They could have done so much more with having Alex go after Kyle and Billy, but that ends and she starts moping over weird and boring Simon. With Kurt..what were you going to do.. cute but boring and perfect and with ties to no one (they had a nice little thing where Bea took him under her wing when everyone left but then she did too..) If they had the balls they would have had Rick and Mindy jump in the sack ( I know, Mindy should have learned birth control by then) I would have had it be Mindy who knows about Rick's drug use and she tries to help him...(not that nobody who came and went) of course, Kurt and Roxie misunderstand..that on top of her bad Sampson Girl thing leaves him to leave her temporarily, and in grand soap tradition, Rick and Mindy console each other (again, I would write it that they always really did, and Mindy rushed into things with Kurt) and she gets knocked up, and loving Rick but also Kurt she chooses to believe it is Kurts (which I could see Princess Mindy doing "My life is perfect and I will it that way, this is Kurts kid")But, she had the dumb model thing, then she burned down the house he was building, she tried to get prefers and he dies (but also Kobe was the one who built him up, then she was gone when he was let go.) Ross believe it or not is one of the last of the "old guard" characters, beside Ed (who is now FauxEd) and Maureen, and Henry and Van (who is ties to being the Lewis family mope.) JVD has made jokes that they didn't write him out as they simply forgot that he was there! Reva doesn't even call her mother when she comes back! I never saw the use of Sarah but they could have reunited them and sent her and Hawk out of town together. Hell, I don't like the Shaynes but she should have mentioned Roxie and Rusty.  The weird thing is that Dylan had a ton of story and was very important to the Van/Bridget baby custody story. By the time Reva comes back Dylan had only been gone a year so its not like people wouldn't know him..( I liked him and Bridget together...) So he comes back in 97 and acts like it's no big deal Reva is alive so they must have talked off camera. But Reva was too busy squacking about that annoying toothy Marah and blank Shayne to talk about anything else.  It's not quite as weird as Van, who obsessed over Peter, comes back to SF and never mentions him...i.e. "I saw Peter this weekend and he so barely remembers me but he is happy with Bridget and Dylan...") 
    • Excellent! The OLTL-GH promo places this and the RH episode (which I assume aired directly before this AMC) as airing during the week of Aug. 20.
    • Thanks! There's never enough early 1980s AMC around.    The only actor I don't recognize is the actress playing Wanda, Mike's agent.
