This is actually one thing that made me happy about it lol. It just came off as parody in the previews, which isn't a good thing for a soap that's trying to play it straight.

Yes, I was happy that her cameo was an actual cameo and that she didn't really interact with the characters. Nothing against KH, it just would have been distracting.

That’s been the standard P&G logo for a long time. I’m not sure if the significance of the candle light - could be a GL reference, but someone at P&G will need to clarify!

It’s nice to see a P&G logo after a soap after all this time. It’s not the classic PGP logo, but it’s a spiritual successor. 

Right. Will seek out that clarification, haha.

As for the logo itself, I agree, it's the spiritual successor. Had P&G been the lead studio it would have gotten the CBS spot with the theme as well, if they even have one.

Here's my spoiler-ish review/recap of the first week, which talks about things we might have already seen or will see soon:

@Errol - ‘Best of My Love’ is a song by girl-group The Emotions, not The Temptations!

Oh, I didn't realize the eclipse was part of the actual P&G logo, lol. To be honest I was waiting for this...

Yes especially since The Emotions were an all-female group.

1 hour and 15 minutes since the show concluded in the East Coast, Beyond the Gates is STILL trending at #2 on Twitter/X:

Fixed. Was writing fast.

Again, thanks!

Ha, no problem! Pop music and comics are my other niche passion points along with the soaps! 

To be clear, I was writing off of my notes and I mixed up the two groups as I couldn't go back and correct initially since my viewing credit for the premiere episode ran out when I binged over the weekend. I remembered "tions" and I believe that's why I wrote Temptations.

Again, corrected it, and my apologies for the mistake.

A globe for ATWT/AW and a light for GL?

The confusion might be because this was the logo for P&G Productions (seen at the ends of ATWT and GL).

P&G Productions spunoff Telenext Media in 2008, then was subsumed by Telenext in 2013, until their final production, The People's Choice Awards were sold to the E! Channel in 2017

P&G Studios, which partially produces Beyond the Gate, was formed in 2020.  So, those looking for a connection to prior soaps should know that the actual relationship is purely public relations.  The ads are true that P&G has a long history with soaps, but P&G Studios is only five years old and shares none of the resources of the prior division.  The two companies have nothing to do with each other.  (sorry to be a Debbie Downer).

🥰 All those damn "tions" groups! But amazing write up, Errol.

Oh, I thought someone said Karen Huger didn't say "Welcome to Fairmont Crest" in the episode that aired but she DID! She just didn't do the finger snap like we saw in the promos/trailers.

BTW, outside of Fairmont Crest is another community called:

Spoiler

Ego Harbor, or something that sounds similar.
