I doubt it. Remember, having characters appear on each show means they all have to take place in the same universe. Additionally, since the producers and production studios behind Beyond the Gates are not the same as B&B/Y&R, it will be that much harder from a financial standpoint and with unions/guilds. 

Personally, I'd rather live in the fantasy of a single show and not have to watch other shows to get an idea of what is going on with the characters.

That’s fair! For obvious maybe it’s a good thing if the people of Fairmont   Crest never mingle with the likes of those living in GC or LA , 😂😂

I don't know what will happen with B&B fashion now, since the amazing Jeresa Featherstone went over to BTG.

OHHHH.  maybe that's why the B&B reruns airing week of Feb. 17-21 were chosen?
Rerun schedule
https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2025/02/cbs-encores-the-bold-and-the-beautiful-beyond-the-gates
Mon Feb. 17 Eric/Ridge fashion show October 2023 -designed by Jeresa Featherstone (she has pics on her instagram)
Tues Wed Thurs Feb 18, 19, 20:  June 2023 remote shoot in Rome:  They had to use some Italian designers to do business cross-promotion and fund the trip; but still Jeresa Featherstone was there, I saw her in many BTS pics/videos from when they filmed those episodes.
(Can't explain Friday Feb 21 B&B rerun -- why they chose Dec. 12, 2024, unless it relates to a current storyline.)

I think this was mentioned a few days ago but I do really wonder if they will mention any characters from Y&R and B&B the first week or month In the show? To tie all three shows together and make it possible for future crossovers? 

Heck they barely do cross overs now. Look at how on BOLD Sheila is alive but yet no one on YR knew she's alive, till Lauren and Nikki crossed over to BOLD and know yet still nothing on YR

I think BTG might exist in it's "own universe" apart from the other two

wrong thread, sorry

This thread has me pumped!

Honestly, I hope BTG exists in its own universe.

Mostly because having any kind of crossover just opens up the chance for stupid *wink wink* in jokes and I really don’t want that for this.

I totally agree! 
 

who knows, I might be getting a head of myself here but maybe BTG will be so successful that in the next few years MVJ will create another sister show that exists in BTG universe for possible future crossovers? Again a big “what if?” But how awesome to think CBS could possible have 4 soaps in its lineup again that they haven’t since 2009?! (That is if Y&R and B&B don’t get cancelled beforehand)

Edited February 15Feb 15 by YRfan23

The only reason I would ever do a crossover is if Beyond the Gates struggles in the ratings.

I AM TOO EXCITED THAT WE ARE SO CLOSE WE CAN TASTE IT!!! Let's GO!!!!!!

So strange to be in a new soap's first thread like this. I never thought I'd see the day.

Same!! It's a milestone!!

First daytime soap to debut this century!

First soap with a predominately Black cast.

First soap to have a BTS preview week.

Hopefully many more 'firsts' to come.

No crossovers please. It's not the first half of the 1990s when Y&R/B&B both had Bill Bell at the helm.
