I do wish Tomas was portrayed by a stronger actor, but I'm here for Hayley vs Tomas, also Lynette vs Kat. Please give more Vernon vs Leslie and Bill vs Andre!

I'm curious how the plasma ring moves forward. I hope it is moved along quicker, but I do not want anything to happen to Jacob (maybe other than an injury). I think it would be a mistake to let go a Hawthorne brother. There could be so many ramifications for those on the canvas. Don't mess it up! Keep it messy.

Fingers crossed the ratings keep up and continue grow!

960px-Beyond_the_Gates_%282025_logo%29.s

original release date: Wednesday, April 1, 2026 | writers: Teresa Zimmerman, Jazmen Darnell Brown | director: Steven Williford

Thoughts:

  • Ted recovered his slip of tongue quite nicely. However, it does feel like Shancie was hoping it was not a slip.

  • I know I appreciated Deanna yesterday, but today she is crossing a line she should not be. She needs to know her place as Vanessa's daughter and verbally bashing you like that is not the thing to do. And Donnell's heartbreak is just written all over his face, too.

  • At least Katherine was smart enough to involve a legal mind (Naomi) in the process. Naomi can offer the necessary context. I just hope she listens.

  • I appreciate Eva going to Joey and talking about his history with Izaiah. I just hope the talk goes well and does not backfire on anyone.

  • Joey just caught Hayley out... and he is not going to let his foot off of Hayley's con artist neck.

  • Carlton may trust the process, but his continued jealousy is going to prove to be a difficulty that I do not think Nicole will be able to handle at the end of the day. He is way too stubborn, too.

  • Good on Eva for talking about her experiences with Izaiah; perhaps her advice might just help him with his budding romance with Shanice. Hopefully!

  • See, Katherine, Eva was trying to be the bigger person and walk away. Instead, you have to be the childish one. Stop it and get over it.

  • This double date will be awkwardly interesting with lots of snarky jabs. I cannot wait.

  • Naomi is resorting to underhanded tactics. I love it. Gag her! Get her! Yes!

  • Joey is projecting his own dirty dealings and preying on those with addictions onto Carlton and Nicole, and neither of them are allowing him to bring them down. Outstanding.

Notes:

  • Zimmerman's breakdowns recently have been a bit disappointing. I am hoping this downward trend does not continue, because they began strong. No backtracking.

  • Lauren Buglioli (Vanessa), Alex Cheeks (Donnell), and Angela Fairley (Deanna) did OUTSTANDING work today! I was so compelled and trapped in their scenes together. They produced such a range of work. Wowza!

  • A grand start to April! I cannot stop watching this soap; it's classic goodness, so deliciously character-driven, and perfectly paced.

Out of town visiting my Mom and we watched live. We were both gasping at Joey, loving Ted and Shanice, and thinking Haley's misdeeds may be coming back around to bite her in the ass.

What's with Eva glazing Joey over Izaiah -- giving him credit for saving him while she disses Izaiah's family at the same time?

I just can't with this show giving flowers to the White Man who saves everyone and also runs the town. Has MAGA infiltrated this writing staff?

That entire conversation made me sick.

I know, right? And enjoy your visiting time!

It's definitely not a MAGA thing with Joey. tbqh I think offloading most of the criminal shenanigans onto the white characters might be a note from one of the show's more prominent production partners, in terms of keeping the Dupree core characters more clean out of concerns for representation. Which is a mistake IMO.
