BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

[wonderwoman1951]

funny, i feel exactly the opposite. i’ve always hated the bitch slaps and cat fights, which for the record, began on ‘dynasty’ in the early 80s and soon infiltrated daytime.

while i’ve been observing and writing about soaps for decades, so have a professional interest, and i will always watch anything with tamara tunie, but if all i knew about ‘beyond the gates’ was from the on-air promos — the slaps, punches, violent outbursts, and scantly-clad couples — i likely wouldn’t be watching.

of course, i will — with great interest.

I’ve been sitting on some exciting news! I will be playing one of the nurses on an upcoming episode of “Beyond the Gates” the NEW soap opera coming to CBS next month! What’s incredibly special about “Beyond the Gates” is that its the first daytime television soap opera to feature a predominately African-American cast since “Generations” which premiered in 1989 and its the first new daytime soap to debut on a major American broadcast network since “Passions” in 1999! I can’t tell you how grateful I am to be apart of this amazing series! Mark your calendars, @beyondthegates premieres next month (Black History Month) on February 24th 2pm EST/1pm PST on @cbstv and streaming on @paramountplus. You can catch me on episode 9 this season on March 6th! You don’t want to miss it!

I’d like to give a special shout to casting director @therealkimcoleman for casting me in this amazing project! A special shout out to my acting coach @ransforddohertyactorpage for teaching me his “Diving Board Questions” acting technique! My acting has changed forever thanks to you Coach! Go check out his page and schedule your session today! Lastly, thank to my representation @brandoncohen for continuing to submit and believe in me: teamwork makes the dream work!

And if you haven’t already go pick up a copy of my book @actorswhatyouneedtoknow everything that I’ve learned to have the success I currently have is in that book! An online course for the book and consultations with me will be on my website this spring/summer! Be on the look out!

I used to hate the bitch slaps & catfights but somehow that changed. I know it began last year with the MVJ-written catfight on GENERATIONS. Not that it happened last year but when I saw it & for some unknown reason appreciated it for its best-ness. Now just today I find I'm interested in a catfight on GL between Laura Wright & Gina Tognoni. Anita & Dani are the BTG characters I'm most interested in, so far. But, I don't think it's because Dani delivers a slap well in a promo.

I disagree.

people posting here have been following ‘beyond the gates’ for months, and know a lot about  — maybe too much:) — about the show.

but we’re hardly representative of the larger pool of prospective viewers, many, if not most, of whom will have heard about the show from the promos.

Absolutely! We are nothing if not, not representative!!! 

Being delighted here, second day in a row.

This is cute - Jibre Hordges’s sister is a local reporter and went on set to interview her bother.

Darn, I'm jealous. I don't have a "bother" [sic] to be interviewed.

Aleah Hordges is at WKRC in Cincinnati  (not WKRP lol)   She drove down to Atlanta to do the story on her brother Jibre.  In addition to this main report on the station's website, she has a bunch of mini-videos and a lot of photos of her trip, in several facebook posts.  Check them out here:
