Don't remember if this casting was discussed in detail on this thread. 
I see that she was mentioned in her instagram stories in this post 
in December

Finally got to watch only the second daytime soap opera premier in my lifetime!

What worked for me: 

Tamara Tunie and Clifton Davis, and Nicole.

Bill the cheater, his new woman and Kara Mosley. I'm interested to see Bill scheming. We need a powerful antagonist.

The sets were great!

What didn't work for me:

-the younger black couple (Naomi and the guy) and the younger white couple. They just felt like extra weight.

-pacing: it felt a little slow, I think this would've worked better as a 30 minute show but we're well past that now.

Overall it was just the first episode, interested to see where this goes, this is definitely better than B&B.

Suggestion for the opening, to familiarize the audience with character names, put it above the actor names. Example:

With the show finally making its long-awaited premiere, I have officially unpinned this thread. It will continue to exist and receive ongoing discussions about the behind the scenes world of Beyond the Gates and its historical impact, but it will no longer be the place to discuss episodes or spoilers. News can continue being posted here, as long as it isn't spoiling anything for any particular episode.

Casting news, breaking news and episode discussion, and related topics, should now take place in their respective discussion threads on the SON Community.

    • This underscores the biggest issue that the show needs to work on.   The majority of the characters on the show are all related to one another, which is why we have that B&B esque Dani/Andre hook up situation

    • It was a good episode. I didn't expect things to unravel so soon.   One thing I still don't like about these big events: Where was everyone else?   This is a big event. Everyone should've been there.
    • Mitch, thanks for that history of the Reardon Boarding House kitchen.  I had always assumed that every time the kitchen set returned, it was a recreation of the original set.  So I have been wrong about that.   Was the kitchen set ever used later, while Buzz and the Coopers owned the boarding house?

    • Do they ever do anything well?  The show is about 4 week story arcs - if that it feels like.  Why wouldn’t you spend a month of subtle hints.  Late to events and don’t telegraph it.  Have repeated issues with time; I had a friend whose Mom suddenly was forgetting half the meal in the fridge to be heated for a meal; twice her husband had to go to her work to get her because she was still working and only noticed no one was there until he walked in to find her and make her come home (it was a doctor’s office, there’s not that kind of job);  knowing she had an appointment and not be worried by it, etc.   No, they have him do a head bonk and bam it’s cancer.     It’s almost an insult.

    • Today showed why almost no one comments on this crap soap. -- We're back to pretending that there aren't SCORES of cosmetics companies out there --  only Jabot and whoever else opens up shop in Genoa City to be the competition. No real business runs this way. -- Marchetti is supposed to be an internationally-renowned fashion house, yet both Chelsea and Sally are ready to walk after being high-level executives there. -- It's not often women leave choice executive positions in their field of expertise to work in a business they're clueless about. -- Sally had a lot of nerve shading Chelsea with "It's easy to see Adam's influence on you" when the same damn thing is happening with Billy. -- I'm glad Lauren told Michael to quit, since we've all been mouthing that for weeks. None of that story is helped by CLB's over-the-top acting. -- The scene with Victoria helping a sick, coughing Cole walk to their car on the way to the hospital was laughable. Wouldn't rich people call a damn ambulance? -- Claire was really concerned, wasn't she? She stayed in the doorway instead of helping her mother, and then headed right to Crimson Lights for coffee. Why bother with checking on her possible terminal father at the hospital?
