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."

The CBS News article mentioned earlier misspelled Daphnee's name, they forgot the "x" in Duplaix. It happened in the title and in the article:

 

Tamara Tunie and Daphnée Duplai on the importance of representation on the new daytime drama "Beyond the Gates"

    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
