In January, viewers were given a behind-the-scenes tour of the set of “Beyond the Gates” when food and lifestyle contributor Sunny Anderson visited the soap opera’s Atlanta studio for a segment that aired on “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

As part of her duties, which also coincided with Anderson being honored with a walk-on role, she conducted interviews with some of the show’s cast members, including Tamara Tunie (Anita Dupree), Clifton Davis (Vernon Dupree), Ambyr Michelle (Eva Thomas) and Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana “Leslie” Thomas).

The Tunie and Davis interview aired on February 3, while the Michelle and Mann-Grant’s interview is set to air on the Tuesday, March 3 episode of the syndicated daytime talk show.

In a clip released last month by CBS Media Ventures, which produces and distributes the Drew Barrymore-hosted talk show, Anderson discussed her experience with Barrymore and Ross Matthews, and shared what she learned, including some soap opera trade secrets, and even how input from the costume, hair, and makeup departments, among others, helps create the show’s identity.

Although details surrounding Anderson’s walk-on role were unavailable at press time, her episode is slated to air in May.

Watch the full segment below.
