Beyond the Gates, BTG, Opening Titles

Just days before the show’s premiere, “Beyond the Gates” is giving fans a tease of its opening title sequence, which displays the full names of the show’s contract cast (a rarity among daytime soaps) and gives an aesthetic view of Fairmont Crest, the fictional location where the daytime drama series is set.

According to Soaps.com, although there is only a select group of cast members displayed in the opening (shown below), others will appear in additional variations that will air throughout the week, similar to “General Hospital” and “The Young and the Restless,” which also have alternate versions of their opening sequence.

At the forefront of at least the first released version are the core Dupree cast members: Tamara Tunie (Anita Dupree ), Clifton Davis (Vernon Dupree), Daphnee Duplaix (Dr. Nicole Richardson Dupree) and Karla Mosley (Dani Dupree). They are joined by castmates Alex Alegria (Tomas “Tom” Navarro), Lauren Buglioli (Vanessa McBride), Sean Freeman (Andre Hamilton), Ben Gavin (Derek Baldwin), Maurice Johnson (Ted Richardson), Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana “Leslie” Thomas), Ambyr Michelle (Eva Thomas) and Colby Muhammad (Katherine “Kat” Richardson).

At a run-time of about 30 seconds, the theme was composed by Kurt Farquhar whose credits also include such shows as “Girlfriends,” “The Neighborhood,” “Proud Family: Louder & Prouder” and “The King of Queens,” among others.

According to a bio on his website, Farquhar was presented with the Hollywood Music in Media Career Achievement Award in 2022, and he is a nine-time BMI award winner, four for his work on “The King of Queens,” two for “Being Mary Jane” and “The Neighborhood,” and one for “The Game.” He is also a Los Angeles Confidential Impact Award Winner.

Of the five regularly scheduled daytime dramas airing on television, only “Beyond the Gates” and “The Young and the Restless” feature the names of its contract cast members in their current openings.

This opening is a WIN! I love the more R&B-styled theme music, matched with the oppulence of the opening theme design. I also love that the main four have their two-shots, and then the remaining eight actors are all listed in alphabetical order. It's smart. It's beautiful. It's oppulent.

    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • 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.
