We already know that Dani was once a famous model who gave up her career to marry Bill Hamilton and raise their daughters.

We also already know that Dani's daughter Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) is a model.  We've seen her in promos with a blue sparkly scarf over her head, being photographed, and saying she's going to outdo the Kardashians.

The spoiler is that when Dani was a model long ago, she was on the cover of Ebony.
And Chelsea has also been photographed by Ebony later on -- in a cover of Ebony that had both Dani and Chelsea on the same cover.
The real-life Ebony magazine created these two "Ebony covers" of Dani  and Dani/Chelsea -- as props for the show to hang on the wall of of one of the sets. 

The other spoiler is that in the photoshoot we saw in the promo of Chelsea with the blue scarf -- she's getting her picture taken and we see more of her wardrobe (with the Ebony covers on the wall in the background during the photoshoot)

Quotes from the Ebony article from Karla Mosley and RhonniRose Mantilla:
https://www.ebony.com/ebony-photo-exclusive-black-love-reigns-at-cbs-new-soap-opera-beyond-the-gates/

Mosley is thrilled to be on a show that follows three generations of Black women. "A Black matriarch leading this and then her daughters is so refreshing, but also reflective of our culture. Women are the people who drive everything. It's why we talk so much right now about protecting Black women and thanking Black women. We have been carrying this country and this world on our backs for a long time," she shared.

"It's exciting to see women who are self-made, who are our mothers, but also have their own businesses, lives, careers, passion and ambition, and also find a way to balance that with love for their family and community," Mosley added.

Getting the chance to work with Tunie and Mosley is something that Mantilla cherishes. "I was raised by my mother and grandmother, so it means the world to me to be able to show strong Black women and learn from Karla and Tamara. It's an incredible opportunity."

For both women, being featured in EBONY's cameo is a dream come true.

"My grandmother had a shelf full of EBONY magazines, and when I was little, I would make vision boards. I would cut the models out because they looked like me...EBONY was the magazine to me growing up," Mantilla exclaimed. "When I found out that y'all were coming, it was like my childhood dream coming true. It's so full circle to me."

Added Mosley, "I've been reading EBONY for many years, from the nineties when it was all that soft lighting and everything. It's cool to see that. The best part of this business is we sometimes see our dreams come to fruition."

    • Some of those 1988-ish episodes are up. I'm not really sure she did much else. I think I recall something along the lines of she and Rusty had been suspended over the investigation of Nicky, George's supplier. I'm not sure she even gets some kind of goodbye. I think she just disappeared when Pam Long returned.
    • I did not care, just clarifying that was the discussion point. If there are ice cream bars in Statesville I am sure there is a full spa
    • Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.
    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
