Members Joseph Posted March 4 Members Share Posted March 4 I found out About a Silent Movie Named "Within Our Gates" from 1920 that seems to be a mark on Black Movie History and couldn't help but think about the coincidence with the show, maybe it has a little influence on BTG? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted March 4 Author Webmaster Share Posted March 4 Jamey Giddens has joined Beyond the Gates as a breakdown writer. I'm hearing Gregori J. Martin ("The Bay") left the series last month, which is seemingly confirmed by a recent Instagram post he made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted March 4 Members Share Posted March 4 Disappointed Martin has left, as I do like him and think he's destined for great things beyond The Bay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 I appreciate his success since I know how hard it must be to keep an independent soap going as long as he has but he was the one writer I had the most issue with, even moreso than Ron Carlivati (who coincidently did well with his breakdown Monday). I've tried watching The Bay many times over the years and have probably gotten through six seasons. The writing is the worst part of it. The show is very dark and he struggles to flesh out the characters because the cast is too big for the format he has. I wonder if doing a soap with so many characters was a struggle for him. Also a show that isn't centered so much around crime stories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 I'm just glad Jamey and RC are only on breakdowns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 It has taken me some time to get into The Bay, simply because its production model of the earlier years is very "indie" and it's not my favourite kind of look. But I can appreciate how he (along with Wendy Riche) have sustained that serial for as long as they have. They kind of set the standard. Same; they have zero control, and Michele Val Jean, Robert Guza Jnr & Sheila Ducksworth will keep their behinds in line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the awards someone said about this outfit, “How can you be the apple and the snake at the same time?” I think that’s about right. Sweet soul with the spirit of a disruptor.

Members janea4old Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 I don't know this person; but I'm posting this to show an example of new viewer engagement https://x.com/Gregpuna/status/1897093774553313361 Gregory Lewis Please register in order to view this content @Gregpuna Mar 4, 2025 Okay, so I’m utter shock. My 82 year old father came over while I was rewatching today’s episode of #BeyondTheGates. He took one look at the black folk and proceeded to sit down and watch it with me. My father has never been interested soaps. I was speechless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 Ya know it was predicted that they were intentionally "overstaffing" (may not be a real word) & that there would be people who would begin but not stay on. Of course as long as replacements are brought on board that calls that whole idea into question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 This wouldn't surprise me. When building out a team it makes sense to throw a lot of people in the mix to find the right group of people to work with. Yet another reason I'm excited to see how the show develops throughout the year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 5 Members Share Posted March 5 Yes, Chris, that's exactly the sense I got about it back I guess 2 months back. Seems a creative way to build a team - see who gels & stay open to possibilities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 6 Members Share Posted March 6 Remember when I said - last year, I believe, before BTG had premiered - that Jamey Giddens was joining the writing staff? Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
