Words cannot express how thrilled I am for Cady McClain.  She has more than earned the right to originate a character on daytime rather than be a recast, and I am so, so glad MVJ and the rest of the BTG team have handed her this opportunity.

Amazingly, no!
No soccer soaps preemptions for UEFA Champions League
during March 2025 on CBS.

They're doing Paramount Plus only, not CBS-broadcast-TV this year.
https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/uefa-champions-league/news/1010726/uefa-champions-league-schedule/


As far as I can see, the same would be true for the soccer quarterfinals and semifinals in April and May -- Paramount Plus only.  As per the link.
(However, sometimes there is a change announced later, so good to check again in April, to be sure.)


note:
There will likely still be a network-wide preemption
for NCAA Basketball (March Madness tournament)
on Thurs. March 20 and Fri. March 21
(Unconfirmed - to be announced later).
If that happens, it would be CBS nationwide, so preempted in all timezones.

Some Favorite Quotes from Week 1

"I'll be healthy again as soon as a couple of cheaters pay." - Dani, BTG, S1E1, 2-25-25
"One of the things I have learned from my patients: People are born who they are. Outside influence either takes or it doesn't. Dani is exactly herself: A force of nature with no apologies." - Nicole, BTG, S1E1 2-24-25
"You need to remember who you are - a Dupree woman - we never give our power away, to anyone." - Anita to Dani, BTG, S1E1, 2-24-25

"That's the advantage of a big heart. There's room for lots of types." - Andre, BTG, S1E5, 2-28-25

Regardless of what anyone thinks of them, CBS did an amazing marketing campaign getting the word out about this show. The likes of which I have ever seen before for a daytime show. 

Whatever happens from here is up to the viewers to tune in, but I cannot fault the promotion CBS gave this show to launch with.

Long article, worth reading the whole thing...

Great article about Beyond The Gates and also
the history of the real-life "Country Club at Woodmore", located in Prince George's County, Maryland - one of the wealthiest majority-Black counties in the US. The article says that the country club, and its attached gated community, is the epicentre of the area's upper crust.

They interview local residents!

Although it traces its roots back to plantation-era slavery, the region has become synonymous with "Black excellence", locals told the BBC. To live there, Patricia Gafford says: "You've got to have money – lots of it."

    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
