On Monday, February 24, 2025, CBS premiered the first new network soap opera in more than 25 years with "Beyond the Gates." The daytime drama series is now celebrating its first anniversary.

Share your thoughts on the one-year anniversary of this new series, and what you think it has accomplished, or needs to accomplish as it continues.

What an accomplishment!

The best thing is the characters. I feel as attached to most of them as the ones on the longtime soaps.

I'd like to see the pacing improve. Some stories felt rushed while others drag on. Nothing feels really high stakes, but yet the day to day dialogue and interactions are engaging.

Wow, one year already. What a ride it's been.

I'm looking forward to the Y&R crossover.

Honestly, seeing a soap from the beginning of production to DAY ONE of airing has been a blessing. Yes, it's had its ups and downs, but overall, it's been a true joy seeing Beyond the Gates kick off with classic, pre-Dynasty-era soap storytelling from a character-driven focus. I can only hope they continue on the up-and-up as 2026 continues to roll on with their second year. Let's keep this amazing work up!
