That was so amazing! They didn't hit even one false note. It was completely accurate & true to soaps & also to its own newness & its oh so specially new blackness! 

Leslie Charleson included in their brief Notable Deaths in the picture of her standing by the stairwell. NICE!

Looks great! The sets look amazing - I guess filming in Atlanta gives them that luxury. The only thing I hope improves a bit is Karla's physical energy during her freak outs (throwing the cup / swinging the golf club), but I feel that's more of a general direction thing (being afraid of hurting other actors / sets) so that's understandable. It might get a bit better co-ordinated once everyone gets used to it.

"Well, because they haven't been told before. Black people go through the same things white people go through. We get betrayed. We betray. We tell secrets. We keep secrets. We love. We hate. That's the kind of mess that I really like to get into." - Michele Val Jean when asked, about Beyond the Gates why it is important, CBS Sunday Morning, 1-19-25

That was a great segment. I am pretty hype for the premiere episode. There is an elevator in the home? That's dope!

I can tell Nicole will be my favorite. Her family looks so gorgeous.  

Yes for the AMC/Erica Kane sighting.

This was a lovely segment. Not only was it informative but I love that they took it seriously. It was so nice getting to see more of the actual show as well as the people helping bring the world to life behind the scenes. Looks like a lot of care is being given to this show being successful.

The Sunday Morning segment was amazing. The AMC fanboy always love seeing Erica Kane highlighted whenever its time to talk soaps

Loved seeing the camera move so much during the clips from the actual show and the production value looks great. 27 sets

the diner being a centerpiece locale is such a great idea too.

I can’t wait to see Karla Mosely raise hell on this show, that one moment where Dani says she’s done being disrespected is so perfectly played.

Seeing so many black faces BTS is just chef’s kiss.

Dynasty's Alexis Carrington Colby Dexter once lived in a penthouse with a private elevator. I've always thought that having an elevator in your own residence reeked of

Watching this segment really warms my heart. I have no doubt this is going to be an amazing show. I loved how many POC's were behind the scenes and veterans from other soaps; the perfect blend IMO. 

In 5 weeks we get to see Beyond The Gates

    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.
