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

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
