Similarly, will they try to innovate in some ways? I think weekly/monthly summary episodes with the highlights would be great for new viewers trying to get into watching that may not want to start from the very beginning or feel like they don't have the time to always watch all 5 episodes each week. 

I think would be smart to post bite-size recaps on YouTube, TikTok, and similar sites for those with low attention spans. Post just enough to tempt them to stream the whole show.

CBS needs to push streaming hard. That's where the bulk of potential viewers can be found. Unless I was visiting my mom, I haven't seen a soap on linear TV/DVR since 2016. In 2023, Deadline reported the average age for the 3 linear soaps was almost 70 y.o! I do believe Y&R has a solid

If CBS is really committed to BTG building a following, I hope CBS.com unlocks more than the 5 most recent episodes. Not sure what Paramount+ does, but CBS should keep those episodes free at least for the first couple of months.

I'm not exactly hopeful since Paramount refuses to pay the license fee for even the most recent seasons of Y&R/B&B.

I had reason to check Y&R on Paramount+ recently. It was about Jan. 10th & at that time Y&R had episodes still up dating to 12-23.

A little bit of housekeeping for this Beyond the Gates thread.

Instead of closing the thread once the show begins its daytime run, I'm leaning toward keeping the thread going, with it emerging as the Beyond the Gates Behind the Scenes, Articles and Photos thread, akin to the ongoing threads we already have in place for the other four soaps.

The thinking is that the monthly discussion thread is specifically for episode discussion (for the most part), and this thread is already host to much of what the other show's threads consist of in terms of content relating to historical articles, behind-the-scenes happenings and information about the latest soap.

Great idea! 

I'm running a poll on several platforms. If anyone here is interested, you can vote just by replying with the # you best feel represents your Point of View.

Where do you stand on Beyond The Gates at this moment?

1-Definitely will be watching

2-Yes I plan to check it out

3-Wait & see

4-Give it maybe 2 weeks

5-Not interested

6-I just do not have the time to add another soap.

That's it! Have fun!
