That was so amazing! They didn't hit even one false note. It was completely accurate & true to soaps & also to its own newness & its oh so specially new blackness! 

Leslie Charleson included in their brief Notable Deaths in the picture of her standing by the stairwell. NICE!

Looks great! The sets look amazing - I guess filming in Atlanta gives them that luxury. The only thing I hope improves a bit is Karla's physical energy during her freak outs (throwing the cup / swinging the golf club), but I feel that's more of a general direction thing (being afraid of hurting other actors / sets) so that's understandable. It might get a bit better co-ordinated once everyone gets used to it.

"Well, because they haven't been told before. Black people go through the same things white people go through. We get betrayed. We betray. We tell secrets. We keep secrets. We love. We hate. That's the kind of mess that I really like to get into." - Michele Val Jean when asked, about Beyond the Gates why it is important, CBS Sunday Morning, 1-19-25

That was a great segment. I am pretty hype for the premiere episode. There is an elevator in the home? That's dope!

I can tell Nicole will be my favorite. Her family looks so gorgeous.  

Yes for the AMC/Erica Kane sighting.

This was a lovely segment. Not only was it informative but I love that they took it seriously. It was so nice getting to see more of the actual show as well as the people helping bring the world to life behind the scenes. Looks like a lot of care is being given to this show being successful.

The Sunday Morning segment was amazing. The AMC fanboy always love seeing Erica Kane highlighted whenever its time to talk soaps

Loved seeing the camera move so much during the clips from the actual show and the production value looks great. 27 sets

the diner being a centerpiece locale is such a great idea too.

I can’t wait to see Karla Mosely raise hell on this show, that one moment where Dani says she’s done being disrespected is so perfectly played.

Seeing so many black faces BTS is just chef’s kiss.

Dynasty's Alexis Carrington Colby Dexter once lived in a penthouse with a private elevator. I've always thought that having an elevator in your own residence reeked of

Watching this segment really warms my heart. I have no doubt this is going to be an amazing show. I loved how many POC's were behind the scenes and veterans from other soaps; the perfect blend IMO. 

In 5 weeks we get to see Beyond The Gates

    • Considering Naomi/Jacob are helping with June... and that she and Jacob have a complicated history with Hayley.. there is more soap opera potential having June and Hayley being related.    This is the downside of the show having one huge extended family... anyone not related to the family are boxed in a corner (i.e. Ashley/Derek, Tomas, Hayley/Bill).   If this were a 30 minute soap, I could understand the one family focus.. but this an hour soap so we best be getting a second family and/or characters not connected to the Duprees unless through work/romantic.. etc.
    • That guy also abused Beth (the one Lizzie killed), which the show probably should have done more with rather than just giving her a split personality and having her do whatever the plot demanded.
    • Thanks @slick jones I should mention that someone on the comments for the Ryan's Hope video with Susan Marie Snyder said the episode must have aired in July 1985. Those photos of Denise Alexander are lovely. The one with Denise, Leslie Charleson and Susan Brown got me emotional. We were so lucky to have them for so long.
    • It's just an absolute mess, and at this point, I genuinely do not know if anyone could turn the ship around. It feels like we're too far gone from what would be familiar for this soap. Genuinely.
    • It’s pretty much become the anti-soap. Bascially the show has rolled back to where it was in 2021, where absolutely zero drama occurred and actually I don’t recall anything memorable occurring at all. Substitute Dumas for Ashland Locke and it’s the same thing all over again. At least we have no strange creepy story about Abby this around I suppose?
    • It's far too much slow, smoked-flame. It's bad soap telling. SO bad.
    • And then, to finish up the story: Phillip returned to Springfield several years later to clear his good(-ish) name in some ridiculous retcon that is best left forgotten...Beth couldn't accept that Phillip had returned to his family against her wishes, so she divorced him, went wacko and hooked up with jerk whom their grade school-aged daughter later offed...Rick married and divorced Annie in Chicago, I think, and did some other stuff that I tuned out of (on account of being disgusted with the show) before he realized he couldn't get arrested in Hollywood and came back...and AFAIK, Neil Everest stayed dead, but his daughter did not; and in fact, she went on to become a trailblazing, multiple Grammy-winning artist under the name "Billie Eilish."
    • I agree in a sense, but I think in some cases that was down to the actors. When some of those actors, like Kate Mulgrew, left, some of the issues with the writing came to the fore.  There were complex characters who were well-written and acted, like Jill, but many times we would end up with "good" characters I wanted to kick off a cliff. It's one of the reasons I was so protective toward Delia when Randall Edwards played her.
    • Same and it’s a [!@#$%^&*] disappointing disaster!!!   Basically me trying watch each episode
