Here’s a sneak peek behind the scenes of “Beyond the Gates,” where they are using the cameras from “Top Gun Maverick” mounted on rolling pedestals to complete a visual look designed by top lighting designer Vince Steib. (Hi Vinnie!)

You can see by the screen behind me that they shoot multi-cam. That means there are a minimum of two and up to five cameras rolling at any time.

We all have body mics on, but as you can see by the large pedestal in the second photo, there’s also a boom mic (a microphone that is over our heads) that is constantly picking up sound to make sure every gorgeous word is heard!

Soaps (or “daytime dramas” as they sometimes prefer to be called) are basically a filmed version of “a play a day.” We shoot up to (and sometimes a little more than) 100 pages. A day.

This is fast work, and requires all members of the team both technical and creative to be able to make quick and strong decisions. It takes a lot of focus!

I’m proud to be a supporting player (I’m “Pamela Curtis,” bestie to Karla Mosely’s stunning “Dani Dupree” - created and written by the brilliant Michele Val Jean) on this fabulous show! There’s so much wonderful work happening on all levels! Don’t miss an episode!

“Beyond the Gates” airs M-F on CBS at 2PM ET, with new shows available the next day on Paramount+. Now’s a great time to binge the first week and catch up on all the DRAAAMAH, darling!

So this weekend, armed with information & a dogged persevering attitude, I changed my Paramount+ plan & got a pro-rated refund when it is their policy not to give refunds. First I explained wanting to change from Paramount Plus with Showtime to Paramount Plus Essential. Then I brought up wanting a refund. They explained nicely how it is their policy not to give them. I explained nicely how it was their fault I signed up for the wrong plan in the first place. They then said that they would give me a pro-rated refund as a one-time courtesy to me.

Now this took a considerable amount of time, which you can probably imagine with all the typing & being nice!!!

But, the point is that now it's done & I did get some money back! 

I'm posting this now only in case it's of use to someone else.

This is excellent.  Thank you for posting this.
