I noticed the tweet has since been deleted but not before a few outlets and some of Real’s fans and former costars could spread the news.

If people are going to play the scooper game they’ve gotta do a bit more fact checking before outright stating things. Hopefully since writers were clearly given a green light to share their involvement with the show Real doesn’t find himself in any NDA trouble. He can be an odd duck but I like the idea of his casting.

His IG itself proves he didn't violate the NDA, at least, it should. It's going to depend on what the NDA itself states is off-limits for discussing. This is the article that they keep referencing to from October 15.  I am assuming this is the paragraph people are taking as confirmation he's joining the soap:

❝ The new CBS soap Beyond the Gates is currently in pre-production and has announced some casting already. Could Andrews be playing a major role on the upcoming daytime drama centered around a powerful African-American family living in a gated community? ❞

Then, Celebrating the Soaps reported the Soaps in Depth article as them confirming he's joined the cast, and reported that he told them (Soaps in Depth) that he had joined the cast, which is not what's reported in the article linked above.

Y&R also premiered in March. I like your idea of February. The problem with January is not so much the planned preemption for the inauguration, but the possibility of lots of press conferences from the new President. While many people will be streaming BTG instead of watching the network broadcast, CBS does not upload a show when there's a national preemption and that's going to create confusion when there's missing days on the app.

I don't want to see BTG preempted by the usual live soccer match premptions in the Mountain, Pacific (also Alaska and Hawaii) timezones .... preemptions that usually happen a few episodes per month during Feb/March/April every year.
(Four dates in February,  two dates in March,
plus four dates in late April or early May.)
CBS already does this to B&B and Y&R every year, and also "The Talk" was affected.  CBS doesn't think the western timezone viewers matter, "oh those viewers can just watch the show online", but still, it matters when you're premiering a new soap.

Those "partial preemptions only in some timezones" are weird.
I'd rather that CBS completely preempt the soaps in all timezones on the soccer match dates.  That way viewers who watch soaps on broadcast TV don't miss the episodes.

I hope they delay the debut of BTG until after the February soccer dates.  If they start BTG in January, then I hope the show is completely preempted in all timezones on the February soccer dates.

Which ordinarily I think would be okay but given the election fervour I don't think it was a smart decision to delay the premier deep into the tv season.

No I get pre production would be rushed though what I'm saying is they should have made the decision to end the talk in the 23-24 season and have BTG premier September.  Basically their thinking is a little out of date and long term planning needed to be better.

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
