funny, i feel exactly the opposite. i’ve always hated the bitch slaps and cat fights, which for the record, began on ‘dynasty’ in the early 80s and soon infiltrated daytime.

while i’ve been observing and writing about soaps for decades, so have a professional interest, and i will always watch anything with tamara tunie, but if all i knew about ‘beyond the gates’ was from the on-air promos — the slaps, punches, violent outbursts, and scantly-clad couples — i likely wouldn’t be watching.

of course, i will — with great interest.

I’ve been sitting on some exciting news! I will be playing one of the nurses on an upcoming episode of “Beyond the Gates” the NEW soap opera coming to CBS next month! What’s incredibly special about “Beyond the Gates” is that its the first daytime television soap opera to feature a predominately African-American cast since “Generations” which premiered in 1989 and its the first new daytime soap to debut on a major American broadcast network since “Passions” in 1999! I can’t tell you how grateful I am to be apart of this amazing series! Mark your calendars, @beyondthegates premieres next month (Black History Month) on February 24th 2pm EST/1pm PST on @cbstv and streaming on @paramountplus. You can catch me on episode 9 this season on March 6th! You don’t want to miss it!

I’d like to give a special shout to casting director @therealkimcoleman for casting me in this amazing project! A special shout out to my acting coach @ransforddohertyactorpage for teaching me his “Diving Board Questions” acting technique! My acting has changed forever thanks to you Coach! Go check out his page and schedule your session today! Lastly, thank to my representation @brandoncohen for continuing to submit and believe in me: teamwork makes the dream work!

And if you haven’t already go pick up a copy of my book @actorswhatyouneedtoknow everything that I’ve learned to have the success I currently have is in that book! An online course for the book and consultations with me will be on my website this spring/summer! Be on the look out!

I used to hate the bitch slaps & catfights but somehow that changed. I know it began last year with the MVJ-written catfight on GENERATIONS. Not that it happened last year but when I saw it & for some unknown reason appreciated it for its best-ness. Now just today I find I'm interested in a catfight on GL between Laura Wright & Gina Tognoni. Anita & Dani are the BTG characters I'm most interested in, so far. But, I don't think it's because Dani delivers a slap well in a promo.

people posting here have been following ‘beyond the gates’ for months, and know a lot about  — maybe too much:) — about the show.

but we’re hardly representative of the larger pool of prospective viewers, many, if not most, of whom will have heard about the show from the promos.

    • I think his full name is Chadwick.  I remember, back when the previous actor was playing him, someone called him Chadwick a couple of times.  It may have been Stefano.  
    • I didn't like those two sleeping together, but I suuure liked seeing BF in them. Wiggle and all. Just sad about the waxing of the chest.   Same.
    • It’s strange. I wonder if the writers at that time had worked with him somewhere else and had a relationship? That time is murky AF to find info on. Rachel Ames in effect left the show at one point in the early 80’s and she is credited like she was there until JFP. Tristan Rogers also took various contract breaks that were not short, and websites also credit him one long stint from 1981-1992. So many people come and go in short succession in 1982-part of 1983. I know they lost a lot of viewers when Genie left, but the show somehow survived yearly at number one through like sheer force of will.
    • In that way, at least we were fortunate.  The Daniel Pilon/Ron Raines decisions...not so much.
    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his next scheme or threatening to have her sent down for treason. Once he croaks I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) off and on during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola gradually got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
    • Listen, I am all for Laura Wright wearing silly wigs and glasses if there was a point.  So far she's just been nice to Brennan and made out with him.  How evil lol!!  Even though I have been told Brennan loves her the writing was never there.  It's so low stakes.  Carly should maybe talk to her daughter and have an adult conversation instead. Laura and Anna look foolish.  I really don't have an issue with either being friendly or at least having some affection for Sonny.  I don't get both of them wanting to have a parade to announce how much they love him and how valuable the friendship is.  C'mon, Laura basically tolerated Sonny because of Luke until Lulu/Dante got together.  Anna likes Sonny because Robin did?  There really isn't much more of a reason for Anna to give him the time of day besides that.  They aren't lifelong buddies.
    • It is so dumb and is dragging on already after a couple weeks. By the time Carly wraps this up Joss will be running the local branch office. And yes, Laura deserves better. It's like they tripled down on this Sonny apologia stuff with her and Anna after the Mulcahey saga.
    • A white twunk with no purpose?? On Days of our Lives??!!
    • It feels like the show hired Hank Northrop first and are still deciding what to do with him lol. I don't have a judgement on the character yet, but this non-story (so far) has been happening for at least a month and he's only made 2 appearances lol. Also, this may be a stupid question, but is Chad's name really Chadwick?  I can't find any evidence of that in a quick google search, so I assume it's just a silly nickname Leo calls him?  I feel like I've heard other characters (EJ?) call him that though too.
