I am so shocked That Brandon and Mike Manning haven't done any LGBT press.

Not an interview, but this was a feature, pertaining to Manning:

• Mike Manning's Gay Role in Beyond the Gates Breaks New Ground

Thank you!

Deadline gave us a rare glimpse into the ratings that CBS is going by which I assume includes Live+3/7 since these numbers differ from the live ratings @Errolprovides.

"While Beyond the Gates has posted impressive gains in The Talk’s old timeslot — the Michele Val Jean drama is up 70% and averages 2.1 million viewers."

[Liberty City]

Welcome.

[Errol]

The problem with this information is that it doesn't indicate a timeline for the average, nor whether it is based on Live+7 or multiplatform viewing. Otherwise, 2.1 million viewers on the surface sounds great, and is an improvement over The Talk, as that show never did well in delayed viewing, but is 2.1 million viewers good for CBS when B&B/Y&R are doing in excess of three million among multiplatform viewing?

My understanding is that Deadline's story is in response to my article about several shows hitting series lows, including Beyond the Gates, in Live+Same Day.
