Here’s a sneak peek behind the scenes of “Beyond the Gates,” where they are using the cameras from “Top Gun Maverick” mounted on rolling pedestals to complete a visual look designed by top lighting designer Vince Steib. (Hi Vinnie!)

You can see by the screen behind me that they shoot multi-cam. That means there are a minimum of two and up to five cameras rolling at any time.

We all have body mics on, but as you can see by the large pedestal in the second photo, there’s also a boom mic (a microphone that is over our heads) that is constantly picking up sound to make sure every gorgeous word is heard!

Soaps (or “daytime dramas” as they sometimes prefer to be called) are basically a filmed version of “a play a day.” We shoot up to (and sometimes a little more than) 100 pages. A day.

This is fast work, and requires all members of the team both technical and creative to be able to make quick and strong decisions. It takes a lot of focus!

I’m proud to be a supporting player (I’m “Pamela Curtis,” bestie to Karla Mosely’s stunning “Dani Dupree” - created and written by the brilliant Michele Val Jean) on this fabulous show! There’s so much wonderful work happening on all levels! Don’t miss an episode!

“Beyond the Gates” airs M-F on CBS at 2PM ET, with new shows available the next day on Paramount+. Now’s a great time to binge the first week and catch up on all the DRAAAMAH, darling!

So this weekend, armed with information & a dogged persevering attitude, I changed my Paramount+ plan & got a pro-rated refund when it is their policy not to give refunds. First I explained wanting to change from Paramount Plus with Showtime to Paramount Plus Essential. Then I brought up wanting a refund. They explained nicely how it is their policy not to give them. I explained nicely how it was their fault I signed up for the wrong plan in the first place. They then said that they would give me a pro-rated refund as a one-time courtesy to me.

Now this took a considerable amount of time, which you can probably imagine with all the typing & being nice!!!

But, the point is that now it's done & I did get some money back! 

I'm posting this now only in case it's of use to someone else.

    • I'll even go further... I'll make her re-think BeLief and create a new patent. Brooke needs stuff to do. Anything other than beg or be in her panties. We need her to be creative. But sadly Bradley has a very low opinion of these characters. To him Brooke is nothing more than sex and scandal... or a pathetic doormat. Ridge is nothing more than a chauvinist pig that needs to pit women against each other to feel like A MAN and Steffy is nothing more than her father's guard-dog. I don't even want to open my mouth about Hope. She is such a fiasco in my opinion... I will not suffer if they kill her off. Bradley pooped on her character and now it's too late to fix it. Annika is great and I would hate to see her go, but slutty Hope was not her thing. The vibe was missing.     
    • I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.
    • Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?
    • Thank you for the tag! It's always a pleasure to see these little pearls of memories. 
    • Uh-oh. Today just might’ve been the first Paula/Jeanne stinker. I have a feeling whose fault that might be though. So, Doug III is getting a job at the Pub?  It’s good to see him interact with other characters. I enjoyed his scenes with Roman, even though the talk of Frankie and Max seemed a little random. And it also could be really interesting now that Tate knows. Days really need to start pushing their rivalry again. We need some follow up from the punch. Tying it all to Holly, to Sophia’s pregnancy, to the guys that Doug III owes money to could be good.  But yeah, wayyy too much Leo again in today’s episode. Seriously, has anything changed with this nothing character? I thought it was all Ron’s fault, but maybe Greg Rikaart is (partially) responsible for Leo being so insufferable.  And yeah seriously, Rafe needs to throw all of these people out of his house. Including Gabi

      But I do wonder who’s the mysterious voice that Gabi overheard with EJ on the night he was shot. Based on yesterday’s episode, I have a suspicion. 
    • Add me to the group of people who think that Brandon has improved. He has. There's no doubt about it. Especially compared to the beginning. And he's improving in a way that... it makes me think that he realizes what the issues are and is addressing them. Of course, he's no master of acting at this point... but I don't cringe as much as I did. And I've seen people in Bold... I won't even have to name names, because everyone knows who they are... who are becoming even worse than what they were offering in the first place. So... I'm happy that in BTG... people are actually blossoming and improving. It surely means that the atmosphere is creative and nurturing talent.  BUT and it's a big butt... his relationship with his husband is still so lacking and ghastly. I am craving to see more action from these guys. I want to see Smitty's character. If he has any. 
    • Thank you. You guys come to the rescue again. I'll take a look later.   Thank you for the info!!! Now I find myself less confused. You and @DRW50 are amazing.
    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next.
