This week on Beyond The Gates, the Kill Bill story STILL dragged on, and Andre comes face to face with the stalker. Bill and Hayley behave like children. Nicole hosts an open mic night in her home, and Tomas undermines Naomi. Let’s get into Soap Wire’s weekly breakdown. Male Pride Naomi Vs. Tomas Tomas receives a call from Mike, the misogynistic sexual harasser, regarding Madison’s case. He claims Naomi has dropped the ball, which very well could be a lie. The thing about this show is that it is heavily male-focused, often to the detriment of every woman on the canvas. Tomas takes the call and, instead of calling Naomi, decides to insert himself into the situation. Naomi is at the office when Madison, whom Tomas DID call, comes in. They catch up, and Naomi learns that Tomas called her in. Tomas then informs Naomi that Mike is coming over to discuss the case. Mike arrives, is rude to Naomi, and tries to pressure Madison into settling. Instead of backing Naomi, Tomas wants to hear him out and proceeds to undermine her in front of her client.Bill needs to fire him. The entire exchange worries Madison, whom Naomi later reassures. Naomi eventually goes to see Bill and tells him what happened. Bill assures her that he will handle Tomas. Bill Vs. His Health and His Stupidity Shanice gives Hayley the bright idea to sex Bill into heart failure. Bill, thinking with his lower brain, does not catch on. He participates and irks the staff when his alarms go off. Shanice and Ashley take issue with it, and Ashley has Hayley removed for the night. Hayley is nasty to Ashley and, frankly, had me, a staunch Ashley hater, defending her. She tries to pull rank over Ashley, and when she is still escorted out, she later cries to Bill, and they file a complaint. Bill is insisting on being discharged without being in the clear. He thinks that the pacemaker solves all of his problems. Again, he is a moron. Hayley talks about going to St. Barts and her need for a vacation; no red flags go up for Bill…at all. Later Ted visits, when Bill is down about Andre after his talk with Vernon, who praises Andre for being the husband Bill never was. We all know that sound, don’t we? Andre is about to be sacrificed at the altar of Bill. The cheaters talk about their friendship, which Bill had forgotten about when he went to Joey to take care of his family when he is gone. I’ll digress, though. Anywho, the cheaters bond and call it Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. It is almost like someone was watching the movie and decided at that moment to name these characters Bill and Ted. Anyway, I don’t much care for the characters, but I like their portrayals and find them mostly entertaining to watch in the love-to-hate way. So, their scenes were nice.

Bunny Boiler As we saw coming a mile away, Heather is Andre’s stalker. It seems that Andre may know a little about her illegal dealings. During their hotel meetup, he went from terrified to…I cannot describe it, a little turned on, maybe? Heather wants to talk about the good ole days and how she never expected a player like him to settle down. Hello, Lisa Niles, anyone? She doesn’t care that he is married; she outright comes on to him. He turns her down multiple times, but he also does not tell Dani what is going on. Heather shows up to Orphey’s where Andre and Dani are having dinner. Dani is delighted to see her and offers for her to join them. Heather gleefully accepts, and Andre looks uncomfortable. When she finally leaves, Dani tells him how they met and that she wants to get to know her. Andre tries to dissuade her. However, Dani is Dani, and she is determined. Later, Andre goes to see Heather; this will be a regular thing, I am guessing. Insert bombastic side eye. Anyway, he asks her if she stalked him to Orphey’s and she denies it. She likes Dani and didn’t want it to be weird. Hmm. Dani and Dana’s Delusions Dani insists that she is all about Andre; this week and the weeks since the Tornado, Dani has been deluding herself. As you all know, Dani is my fave, but right now I am over her and the writing for her. Dana breaks up with Marcel; she wants better, and he wants her to live on a houseboat. When he leaves, she cries and goes down memory lane of meeting Ted. The thing about these scenes is that Trisha and Keith have chemistry. I would say his best chemistry has been with Trisha and Daphne. However, the writers wrote Leslie into a corner by making her a cartoon villain instead of a vixen and viable character. No one is going to accept her constant winning. See Carly Corinthos. Carly attained a strong fanbase due to her vulnerability when she came on and the losses. Later she would come to be too focused on and always winning without repercussions. Leslie has never truly been vulnerable and has never lost or paid consequences on screen. If you want her to be viable, those things are a must for her character. Eva tells her it isn’t happening and she needs to accept it and find the right guy for her. Leslie never listens. She should meet with Heather to discuss bunny boiling strategies. Is it the bunny or the bear. Other Happenings Kial and Nicole have sex...is that surprising? Nicole hosts open mic night at her house for Noah. Yawn. Grayson bartends, and we learn that he could have worked at the clinic. Another yawn. Friday Cliffhanger To be fully honest, I didn’t remember the cliffhanger because it wasn't memorable. I had to go back. Oh, it was Leslie holding a torn-up bear. Does this mean she should be up in the Bunny Boiler spot? Will she become unhinged again? Final Thoughts on the Week Same rant, different week. The impaler story dropped off only to continue to drag. This show is allergic to drama and gives us much of nothing but character exposition. I am tired of it, if I am to be honest. Jacob is a cop, but we never see him doing anything and the impaler case is going nowhere fast. It is dead in the water, and the Heather reveal was a flop. You mean to tell the viewers that Heather is a boss mafia babe, but is obsessed over a man’s penis? They have reduced her to a stalker? The male-centeredness of this show is perplexing. They have intelligent women who are only given stories related to men, and they aren’t even good. Same problems continue week after week after week.

Sunday TV is giving us a little bit of everything. Lioness has the team racing against the clock, The Vampire Lestat takes the stage for a special live performance, Big Brother gets another round of nominations underway, and Bravo is basically handing the evening over to the Housewives. Then there’s the 9 p.m. hour, where things get crowded fast. Lanterns has questions surrounding Hal, The Walking Dead: Dead City sends its crew on a supply run, The Librarians: The Next Chapter gets supernatural, and The Westies closes out its first season. Here’s your TV guide for Sunday, August 23. Sunday, August 23 TV Schedule Time (ET) Show Network/Streaming What to Expect 3:00 AM Lioness Paramount+ The team launches a frantic hunt and races against time, while Neal struggles with growing fears back home. 3:00 AM The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only Live AMC+ Lestat takes center stage in a special performance filmed before a standing-room-only crowd at New York City’s Beacon Theatre in June. 7:00 PM NASCAR Americana USA Network The docuseries finale looks at NASCAR’s evolution, exploring how the sport embraced change while holding onto traditions tied to its American roots. 8:00 PM Big Brother CBS A new Head of Household takes control and puts three houseguests on the chopping block.

Lestat Is Ready for His Encore If you weren’t lucky enough to get into the Beacon Theatre in June, AMC+ is bringing the performance home with The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only Live. The special captures the standing-room-only New York performance and gives fans another dose of Lestat without requiring a plane ticket, concert ticket or whatever level of vampire connections were necessary to get inside that theater. It also makes for an easy early-day watch before Sunday night television really gets going. Big Brother and the Housewives Take Over at 8 CBS keeps the Big Brother season moving with a new Head of Household officially making their first major decision: nominating three people for eviction. As usual, winning power is the easy part. Now comes the part where everyone suddenly wants to have a private conversation. Over on Bravo, The Real Housewives of Atlanta reaches Part 3 of its reunion, with K. Michelle finally revealing more about the plot that has hovered over the season. The Porsha and Shamea situation isn't getting any prettier either, with their friendship looking increasingly difficult to repair. Lifetime offers a very different kind of housewife drama with Three Housewives and a Body. The movie follows three best friends whose girls’ night turns into a nightmare after a home invasion ends with a man dead. So, maybe stick with wine and takeout next time. Sunday at 9 Is the Main Event Good luck picking just one show at 9 p.m. Lanterns puts Hal under the microscope as questions about his motives grow, while The Walking Dead: Dead City sends Maggie, Negan, Dillard and Renata searching for desperately needed resources. TNT’s The Librarians: The Next Chapter gets weird with a Monkey’s Paw, a mysterious hotel and a fog that leaves the team trapped with more than a few emotional issues to work through. Bravo keeps its Housewives marathon going with The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, including the return of Kyle’s White Party and growing friction between Vicki and Luann. Meanwhile, CNN’s Decades in Sports looks back at the defining sports stories of the 2000s. MGM+ also has a big night with The Westies Season 1 finale. The fallout between Roarke and Sweeney fractures the group as Bridget moves forward with the mission and Keenan struggles with both his guilt and his relationship with his son. If you’ve been following this one all season, Sunday is payoff time. What Are You Watching Tonight? Whether you're spending Sunday with Lestat, the Green Lanterns, the Housewives, the Big Brother houseguests or Maggie and Negan, there’s no shortage of choices. And with five shows all landing at 9 p.m., the DVR and watchlist may have to put in some overtime tonight.

Firehouse 51 might want to start printing some new name tags because Chicago Fire is bringing in even more fresh blood for Season 15. Matthew Daddario is officially joining the NBC drama as a new firefighter candidate, marking a return to television for the Shadowhunters favorite and adding another new face to a season that is already shaping up to look considerably different. Details surrounding Daddario's character are being kept suspiciously close to the vest. We don't have a name yet, and NBC hasn't revealed exactly how long he'll be sticking around. What we do know is that he's playing a candidate, meaning somebody at Firehouse 51 is about to have the pleasure of teaching another rookie how not to get themselves killed. Considering the turnover happening around that place lately, maybe everyone should just keep their lockers unlocked. Firehouse 51 Is Getting Some Fresh Blood Daddario isn't the only newcomer reporting for duty. BMF and All American alum Da'Vinchi has already joined Season 15 as series regular Marcus Burke, another firefighter candidate who has been described as funny, roguish and somewhat defiant. Da'Vinchi actually gave fans an early clue about Daddario's casting when he shared a behind the scenes photo alongside Daddario and Brandon Larracuente, who plays Sal Vasquez, with the trio sitting together on Truck 81. Seeing multiple candidates arriving at the same time immediately raises questions about what Chicago Fire has planned for the makeup of Firehouse 51. Fifteen seasons into a show, introducing younger characters isn't exactly unusual, but these additions come during a particularly significant transition period for the veteran NBC drama. This doesn't feel like simply dropping a random new firefighter into the background and calling it a day. For Daddario fans, the casting also brings a familiar face back into the television procedural world. He's still best known to many viewers as Alec Lightwood on Shadowhunters, where he developed a devoted fan following during the fantasy drama's three season run. He's also appeared on Why Women Kill and Blue Bloods, but putting him inside the One Chicago universe could introduce him to an entirely different audience. Season 15 Is Bringing Some Major Goodbyes Of course, new arrivals usually mean somebody else is clearing out a locker, and Chicago Fire has some painful departures ahead. Joe Miñoso is leaving the series after playing Joe Cruz since Season 1, although he is expected to appear in the opening episodes of Season 15 so the show can properly wrap up Cruz's story. After more than a decade at Firehouse 51, that goodbye is going to hurt, and we're already preparing ourselves accordingly. Dermot Mulroney is also departing as Chief Dom Pascal early in the upcoming season. Add those exits to a new group of candidates and a behind the scenes leadership change, with executive producer Victor Teran taking over as showrunner following Andrea Newman's departure, and Season 15 suddenly feels like more than another routine year for the long running drama. There is always some risk when a veteran series starts moving this many pieces around at once. Viewers have spent years becoming attached to the firefighters and paramedics who made Firehouse 51 feel like a family, and you can't simply swap familiar characters for shiny new ones and expect everybody to move on. The upside is that Chicago Fire now has an opportunity to introduce a new generation without abandoning the veterans who still form the heart of the series. And bringing in an actor with Daddario's existing fanbase certainly isn't a bad way to get people curious about what comes next. Social media reactions to the casting are already filled with Shadowhunters fans realizing they may suddenly have 14 seasons of firefighter television to catch up on. Godspeed to anyone attempting that marathon before October. Chicago Fire Season 15 premieres Wednesday, October 7 at 9 p.m. ET on NBC, with episodes streaming the following day on Peacock.
