I remember watching the AWA finale back on WoST - one of the few soap episodes I got to watch on there. It's so very of the time but also moving. I hope Clifton being back on daytime may cause something else from the show to appear. It will be nice to see him back in a major role. About 4-5 years ago he was on I Think You Should Leave, with Fred Willard (RIP), and he still looked great.

Clifton Davis is a GREAT casting choice! I watched all of That's My Mama over the summer, and one of the things that bugged me the most about it was that it was more about Clifton than about Mama, but that's neither here nor there 50 years down the road lol He's made a name for himself as a highly respected actor and even more respected man. He'll be the perfect patriarch.

I'm really curious as to know more technical things like video format, camera set-up, etc. At this point, I really have no preference either way. Most of me wants and needs this to look like a daytime soap, but I know the desire is strong for it to NOT look like one, especially if they're looking to make waves in the streaming market. I'll take whatever they have to do to ensure its success.

I'm sure it'll shoot a bit more like an American soap, with multi-camera. But judging from the photo Val Jean shared, I get classic soap mixed with TOLN-style/British style mixes. I'm excited that the directors are going to be NEW and likely exclusively to Beyond the Gates. I'm also hoping for [proper] 4K production. GH uses 4K cameras but isn't 4K, and DAYS has 4K lighting (per an interview with Melissa Reeves), but we saw how crap that looked for years, until Peacock dished for some camera upgrades (and while improved... it's still not good).

Makes me happy to see [some] darker wall colours, which I feel like isn't seen much anymore.

It's all coming together well but because I'm selfish and greedy, I have one more character/actor wish. The Dupree's have two daughters but are missing that one sneaky/manipulative son IMO (perhaps he shows up later?) I really liked this guy when he was on a primetime soap called "Saints and Sinners. His name is Keith D. Robinson.

"Levi Dupree" perhaps? Just a thought.
