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 responded to a question on one of the Instagram stories and the show shared my response as a sticker. It's the one with Bryton James and Christel Khalil.

Oh, that was a good answer.

For me, the opening is strike two for Julie Carruthers (strike one being the lighting). She is the EP most responsible for the actual production, so I'm putting it on her.

I also have a feeling Ben Gavin won't last long. In the (albeit limited) clips I have seen with him, including his shot in the opening, I get nothing. 

I’m glad you mentioned the lighting. Every clip I’ve seen first on my phone and now watching the special on my tv, the lighting is so [!@#$%^&*] bright.

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.

Wait I thought all you wrote was basically the subtext between Anita and her daughters, or did you edit? Even my spoiler free self was ok with that.

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).

Interesting.  Keith David at the LA event.

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.
