Oh Lord, not you bringing the baby switch into it. lol. But I understand. That first week is going to be so full of chatter here and I can't wait for it.

 

MVJ has always been one of my favorite writers to watch so I'm fully in support of her. And just seeing a show with a dominant black family that also has a production that has so many black people working BTS as well. Something that truly inspires me more than I feel I show. And YES. The black audience have always been so unseen and undervalued in terms of how much they support 'the stories.' I've always said that people be sitting on a gold mine given BITD how GREY'S ANATOMY blew up because it had great writing, but tapped that unseen representation. Well, BITD. 

 

I feel in my bones that I'm going to be stanning (yep, I said it) Daphnée Duplaix's Dani. I've always liked her work on OLTL. So I can't wait to see her full potential on display.

 

I really need to see that new promo.

I still cannot believe that ABC made me watch OLTL with AMC & GH so I could get the whole storyline! But, even if I say it begrudgingly, it was worth it. And, I got so much posting mileage out of a pilot crashes a helicopter in the woods with 2 pregnant women on board & both go into unplanned, unexpected labor & both deliver but only 1 baby lives ... 

And the entire Script Writing Team, too, who we did not see. 

Plus, I cannot get over 27 sets! I am dying to know how many they can have set up at any given time. The diner set looked fixed, permanent.

Wait. There's a second promo?

Your post filled with such a nice but big feeling of nostalgia. Online I had so many Canadian fans because of AW!!! And, they were constantly piss*d off because they didn't count in the ratings that were paid attention to.

And, my favorite Beverlee McKinsey interview is the Canadian "City Lights"!

Dragging myself back on topic, who can tell me where this new promo is? 33 days but who is counting?!!

Sorry if this has been posted or asked already, but do we know anything as far as availability to streaming platforms and release time/schedules.

From the commercials, I know that BTG will be made available to stream on Paramount+. Will new episodes be available to stream the day of or next day? Since this is the first time a soap opera is available to stream from the very beginning, will they try to promote/push for streaming viewership over live viewers. 

Similarly, will they try to innovate in some ways? I think weekly/monthly summary episodes with the highlights would be great for new viewers trying to get into watching that may not want to start from the very beginning or feel like they don't have the time to always watch all 5 episodes each week.

❝ CBS announced today that BEYOND THE GATES, the new daytime drama series and debut project from the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture, will premiere Monday, Feb. 24, 2025, and air weekdays (2:00-3:00 PM, ET; 1:00-2:00 PM, PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+*.

*Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers will have access to stream live via the live feed of their local CBS affiliate on the service, as well as on-demand. Paramount+ Essential subscribers will not have the option to stream live, but will have access to on-demand the day after the special airs. ❞

⏤ via Paramount Press Express

Although, I'd wager, same-day episodes [would be] available around 5pm ET, much like Y&R/B&B appear to be (as well as CBS.com).

Like "The Young and the Restless" and "The Bold and the Beautiful," episodes of "Beyond the Gates" will be available to stream LIVE on Paramount+ with a SHOWTIME subscription via your local CBS affiliate (option shown in the platform). Otherwise, it can be streamed On Demand on Paramount+ later in the day, generally after it has already been broadcast in all U.S. timezones.

    • OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too. 
    • I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.
    • It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.' 
    • And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.
    • @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

    • Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.  
    • I figured the "long" was already implied 
    • You'll be very impressed
