As shown in the second trailer for the upcoming daytime drama series “Beyond the Gates,” the “Grand Dame” herself, Karen Huger from Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” will be making a cameo appearance when the show debuts later this month on CBS.

While at present it is unclear who Huger will be playing on the soap opera, if not herself, or for how long, she’s already made a big impression on fans from what little of her was shown in the tale end of the trailer, particularly her stating, “Welcome to Fairmont Crest” as she snapped her fingers at a reeling Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings), who had just been slapped across the face by Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley). Hayley is presented as the town pariah considering she is the ​​former mistress turned fiancée of Bill Hamilton (Timon Durrett), Dani’s ex-husband.

First uttered in a teaser clip released in December, the words “Welcome to Fairmont Crest” were initially thought at the time to have been uttered by series star Tamara Tunie, who plays matriarch Anita Dupree, as the words were stated as her character walked into the Fairmont Crest Country Club wearing her fur coat.

“Beyond the Gates” follows an affluent Black family who holds court over Fairmont Crest, a posh gated community that’s the center of luxury with wealthy residents harboring deep secrets.

Created by Michele Val Jean, who also serves as executive producer, showrunner and head writer, the series is set to premiere Monday, February 24 at 2:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. PT on CBS and will be available to stream Live and On Demand on Paramount+.

I've never seen any of the Housewives shows, so her casting is meaningless (to me), but I realize that my perspective is limited!
I totally understand and respect that it's exciting for viewers of the Housewives shows.

I've noticed that in replies to the tweeted promo and TVLine article, there's been lots of comments about Karen Huger.  The way some of the comments were phrased, my guess is that at least some of the commenters were more familiar with Huger than with daytime soaps, so yeah this is a good way to get viewers.

It reminds me of "Beyond Salem 1" in 2021, when Lisa Rinna returned as Billie Reed and Eileen Davidson returned as her multiple characters.   It was marketed as a cross-promotion with Housewives, as a way to draw in viewers.
