I loved the Paley center panel! Vlad was a great host and has really been championing this show since it was announced. It's nice that they went with a moderator who cared and respected the genre. 

I was really excited when Sheila talked about the end of April. As you all know, that's right before May sweeps. I'm happy to see they're going to play sweeps right out of the gate(s)! This is one of the many exciting things we have to look forward to with a new soap. I can't wait to see how a sweeps period looks to them.

I'm sorry, but why I did I hear Christel Khalil say "money" in a way that she was referring to Beyond the Gates having some and The Young and the Restless having none? I'm terrible! (not yet trouble, haha)

Heads Up!

There's more "CBS Mornings" coverage of "Beyond the Gates" coming with content from journalist Nancy Giles who did the "CBS Sunday Morning" feature last month. It'll air on Monday, February 24 (see info below) ahead of the show's premiere episode.

Note: At this time, I'm not sure if it's with new footage from Giles or if she went back for another visit for "CBS Mornings." I presume it's additional footage.

I'm not sure if it was how the episode was screened at the Paley Center, but the lighting was not super bright in the first episode I saw. There may have been some filtering/processing that happened in post-production that made the lighting more flattering than what we saw in the promos/previews.

I'm going to repost my original post on Monday as that's when the embargo expires. I had a whole post with thoughts on the first episode and characters featured. 

Not intended to be any type of spoiler - Jen Jacob and Ben Gavin were the weakest part of that first episode to me (characters and actors).

I know nothing but with them finally acknowledging that Carter never has family around, I wouldn't be surprised if the reason he's there is because B&B scooped him up. I'm sure especially in light of BTG they must be embarrassed to only have one Black cast member. It would be a typical last minute Brad Bell idea.

    • May 2025:   New Pope, Leo XIV is chosen in Rome, while the Italian Open tennis tournament is happening in Rome. The headline is "Sinner meets the Pope"  LOL, this is tennis player Jannik Sinner. He met with Pope Leo and gave him a tennis racket. Leo plays tennis himself and is a tennis fan. (He is also a Chicago Cubs baseball fan). “I consider myself quite the amateur tennis player,” he said in a 2023 interview.

    • I still can’t help but think that this was all Ron and Paula/Jeanne just decided to run with it.  Maybe it’ll improve over time 
    • Anything, but this non-story.  Who cares if Stephanie publishes her Danielle Steel novel or not?  Maybe Joy will be back sooner or later with the baby. Last Chance Sale at Nordstrom rack.  I bet JJ has one too. Yeah.  For some reason I thought they shuttered the whole Publishing department after that.
    • Quote from the May 14, 2025 AP article on BTG: https://apnews.com/article/beyond-gates-renewal-d7369f7a60a0a992483294acb950ef6d Charlene Polite Corley, Nielsen’s vice president of diverse insights and partnerships, says 52% of the total audience is Black. “It’s bringing folks along for this really unique story being told in a lot of ways for the first time. And so, yes, the Black audience is leading here, but there’s a whole lot of other kinds of folks who are tuning in, too,” she said.
    • I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth. I never said he shouldn't have been upset about it. He knew before the wedding and went through with it anyway. She offered to split up with him. He decided to stay. Then he treated her dirt, even after she had just lost her baby. If he couldn't deal with it, he should have left her. (Or, SHE should have thrown him out. The story made no sense.)
    • I wish the triangle with Philip was still going on with them. Maybe Days got a good deal

      He tried to relaunch Bella magazine 
    • The only way I saw successful playlists for DAYS uploaded to youtube was maybe 10 years ago  .... The uploader had code names for each playlist by obscure nicknames for each character, without mentioning DAYS or the actual character names in the description.  You'd have to be an expert on the show's history to know the obscure nicknames for each character - something mentioned in the show's dialogue once years before. Importantly, commenters were asked to not mention the name of the show or the characters or the actors in their comments, or their comments would be deleted, which meant that the channel owners had to check it daily to delete such comments. AND the videos were all unlisted, so you'd know about it only from word-of-mouth, but were asked not to post about it anywhere. This was many years ago and I enjoyed watching those as they were up for several months. However some unaffiliated fools would create their own playlists on their own personal youtubes, linking to the unlisted videos and labeling their personal playlists with real show name and character names... so of course Sony caught it eventually and it was all lost.

    • I bet they update the opening credits to switch out MJ and Keith
