BTG: Spring 2025 spoiler pics from Wash.Post, etc

[janea4old]

Washington Post article dated Feb. 24, 2025.
The metadata (also on Getty Images) show that the photos were taken Feb. 6, 2025.
With an approximate three-month tape-to-airdate,
these scenes probably air in early May (or late April).
The Duprees are interacting with Dana-Leslie and with Eva.

(Note, WaPo did correct Ms. Tunie's name from Tamarie to Tamara in an edit to its page, and they noted they had corrected it.
The "archive.is" version is from the original with the error.)

photo caption: "Hairstylist Irenia “IV” Vail works out of a cabinet of wigs in the hair and makeup department."

The text of the Washington Post article refers to the tour of the set:
Wankaya Hinkson, head of the hair department, shows off the “wig closet” containing about two dozen styles (some of which can’t be photographed because of spoilers).

This one is *NOT* from Washington Post, but it's a wig spoiler so I'll put it here.

From the CBS/EntertainmentTonight special on BeyondTheGates fashion
(episode #3 of those five specials).

if you look closely, the wig on the top left is labeled "Leslie Nurse".

No wonder Leslie's poor considering the amount of money she spends on wigs alone.

[janea4old]

What mischief will Leslie will cause while masquerading as a nurse?

Thank you for the research @janea4old! I haven't seen the WP pictures since the debut, so it's interesting to look at them again with some more story context.

1. Vernon and Martin - nothing particularly spoilery here

2. Vernon interacting with LADS (Leslie/Anna/Dana/Sherry ), it seems too early for her to have unmasked her true identity at this point

3. Eva dressed in a very Kat-inspired outfit

4. Anita and Dani with Eva at Uptown

5. Anita holding Eva's hand, looks like a tense scene

6. Nicole in pajamas, taking a sick day?

[janea4old]

Yeah I was wondering about that.  The photo caption says "Clifton Davis and Trisha Mann-Grant during a scene on the set."  That caption was vague ... it seems to imply that both actors are on that set at the same time during filming, and the actors are interacting... but I don't know if the characters will interact.

But since these pictures were taken on the set Feb. 6th, then it might air in early May, so perhaps part of the May sweeps reveal(s) ?

Daphnée Duplaix and Sheila Ducksworth at the Paley Center event said that Nicole has something(s) major happening in April.

I think both of these pics are the same scene-- the second one is just zooming in on the first, from a different camera angle.

Oh, but I see that someone's elbow is on the table in the left part of the second pic. Not sure if that's another character, or someone from the crew?

From the WaPo wig images:

Does the wig on the right say "Dana/Leslie"? 

 

Can't quite read the episode number but it looks like "Julia" is in Episode 39?  If so, that would be April 21?
(Julia was the event planner/publicist who already aired with Dani about the fashion show.)

That actress said on IG that she's recurring.

Fyi, we have two "Shanice" at BTG.
The actress Shanice Antonia plays the character Julia the influencer/publicist.
The nurse supervisor character Shanice is played by actress Ernestine Johnson Morrison.

Looks like they find out about her.

[janea4old]

I bet this is coming soon (May 8 or 9, possibly?)  That's the bathrobe Nicole was wearing after the anniversary party when she told Ted to leave, and the blanket Kat put over Nicole later that evening.

The actresses look like they are joking around, and the caption says the actresses are interacting with the crew. 
I imagine this would between scenes, when filming Dani comforting Nicole.

Edit: No. Nicole is wearing a different bathrobe here.

Yup that was Julia the event planner in episode 39.

She was previously shown with smooth silver hair when planning the fashion show.
Shown with this wig when planning the anniversary party:
