Beyond the Gates: Premiere Date, Time Slot Set by CBS

[Errol]

I re-checked the CBS press release on CBS Mornings Plus and they do indicate the following as the headline:

In the body of the PR it says:

Now, although they indicate 9:00 a.m. ET in the body, the entire press release opens with it being a 9:00 a.m. hour, so it can be presumed that the show will also air at 9:00 a.m. PT, however, they don't outright say it. Therefore, I may have misunderstood it?

I've sent out an inquiry and will get back to you on what I learn.

These character descriptions' seem very well thought out and specific, which is very good and gives me a lot of hope.

This part of Cheryl's description almost made me spit out my water when I read it, lol:

 

[Liberty City]

Coke?! Oh, OK! I see you, Michele Val Jean!!!!

[Soapsuds]

Chandler Massey?

Hollis Chambers?

Jacob Young?

Colton Little?

Zach Tinker?

Who am I missing?

I wonder if there will be any Asian characters. The current ones and their precursors all did a relatively terrible job at giving Asian characters agency and fully executed characterizations. It would be nice to see them The Gates steer their stories in a truly different direction.

I say give it to Zach Tinker.

Chandler lives in Atlanta last I spoke with him, so it might make things easier for him. I'm sure they'd want a 3x Daytime Emmy winner as part of the show's cast. He's also young enough to play opposite the younger set.

[Liberty City]

That would be exciting to see an Asian-American character come in at some point.

[Soapsuds]

It sure would be nice to see him on a soap again. He could walk to his new soap.

Off topic...Do you know if Chandler is done with Hallmark and the yearly movies?

[AbcNbc247]

Ya never know

Maybe he misses acting. And with the Atlanta residency requirement…

[Soapsuds]

Let's hope so!

So underneath her flash and glam, Cheryl is a cokehead? Well now, a previous article did state that this show would be, um, very real? So here it comes. As for Armand, he's described as being a fabulous dancer. A young Gregory Hines? Young male version of Debbie Allen?

I love this for Cheryl. These descriptions we have seen so far are fantastic and make me want to tune in just to see the connections and the world they are building.
