THE HUB

Last week on Beyond The Gates, the Kill Bill story dragged on, Dani projected onto her husband, Nicole found out information about her daughter secondhand, and Ted was in love. Monday During the deposition for Madison’s case, Bill has a medical crisis and is rushed to the hospital. Naomi blames Hayley but hugs her as Hayley tries to smile sinisterly. Emphasis on tries. Bill later wants out of the hospital but is convinced to stay for more tests. Dani projects onto Andre and a

Angela Fairley may be one of the newest faces on Beyond the Gates, but her arrival as Deanna McBride has already made a lasting impression. Introduced as the outspoken daughter of Vanessa McBride and the late Doug McBride, Deanna has quickly become one of the show's most compelling younger characters. During a recent interview with The TV Cave's Soap Wire Podcast, Fairley reflected on joining daytime television, the overwhelming fan response to Deanna's debut, and why the cha

Last week on Beyond the Gates was painfully slow, but by the end of it, one storyline may have finally picked up some steam. Monday Thankfully, Kat rejects Tomas’ proposal. Unfortunately, she is still holding on to that robot. Joey asks Randy about Deanna and tells him that he doesn’t trust her. Color me surprised when Randy experiences a flicker of guilt and hesitates to do Joey’s bidding when it involves his best friend’s daughter. Now, if only he would avenge said best fri

Last week on Beyond The Gates, a woman suffered a medical crisis and drifted into an alternate timeline. Vanessa continued her Joey obsession, and Deanna took advice from Doug. A lot happened this week, so let’s discuss. Monday Martin talks with Anita about the primaries, and it bores me. There was no drama surrounding the primaries, no opponent, no real story. Hopefully, that changes before the actual election. Anyway, he wins the primary. Surprise, surprise. Darlene misinte

This week on Beyond The Gates, a life hangs in the balance, another woman faces pressure from her family, and Dani worries that her secret will be revealed. Dani and Her Mistake Dani confides in Vanessa, of all people, as if to make her more palatable for her stupidity. However, they are both stupid. Vanessa is just quite a bit more desperate, and her entire identity has become Joey. I thought Dani was free, and it appears that she finally is after her mistake. The thing is,

This week on Beyond The Gates, the Impaler is revealed, and boy, is it a letdown. The crossover begins, and a tornado strikes. Let’s discuss. The Impaler Reveal The Impaler is… Can you guess? I bet you got it in one. It is Joey’s sister, Heather, like we didn’t see that coming. What a boring reveal to an even more boring story. Someone on social media said that it should have been Kial, and honestly, that would have been more interesting. He could have convinced Nicole to tak

This week on Beyond The Gates… mostly filler and narratives, not much action. Let’s discuss. The Plasma Aftermath Part Deux Jacob vows to get revenge for Derek’s death. He then receives a commendation for his work in bringing down a plasma ring that is still active and operating. You can’t make this up. Jacob did a terrible job, and while Derek’s blood is not on his hands, the whole thing was a fumble. Jacob asks Smitty to use his article to sus out the Impaler, which is anot

Grab your favorite emotional support beverage and pull up a chair, because the daytime television gods have officially chosen violence for the week of June 8. If you thought your personal life was complicated, the residents of Port Charles, Genoa City, Salem, and Fairmont Crest are here to make you feel vastly better about your choices. We are looking at a week packed with long-awaited unmaskings, tense family gatherings, unexpected shifting alliances, and an actual weather e

Fairmont Crest is still feeling the loss of Derek Baldwin and if fan reactions are any indication, viewers are nowhere near finished mourning one of Beyond the Gates' most beloved characters. Derek's shocking death sent ripples through the fandom, sparking outrage, heartbreak, and plenty of questions about what could have been. Now, actor Ben Gavin is pulling back the curtain on his emotional departure from the CBS daytime drama, revealing that he was just as surprised by Der

This week on Beyond The Gates, Ashley grieves, Leslie worries, and Vernita gets sexy. Let’s discuss. Derek’s Memorial This storyline dominated the week, with Ashley at the center while Jacob handled his grief quietly and by throwing himself into work. Hmm. I see why he and Naomi hit it off so well. Ashley is treated like Derek’s widow when she was his biggest opp. She gaslit him, told him he was practically obsessed with her when he warned her about Grayson, and guess what? H

Somebody better warn the Duprees. Victor Newman is on his way. Beyond the Gates and The Young and the Restless are colliding this June in a multi-episode event and the names attached to this thing are enough to make any soap fan drop everything and pay attention. Six of Genoa City's most powerful residents are leaving town and heading straight to Fairmont Crest, and frankly, Fairmont Crest will not be the same when they leave. Thanks to TVLine, we have our first look. The Gue

If there is one thing Beyond the Gates viewers can agree on, it is that Anastasia Belle Claire knows how to make an entrance. Whether she is throwing shade at the Dupree family or clutching her pearls like someone personally offended her at brunch, the character has quickly become one of the soap’s most entertaining wild cards. And according to Timeca Seretti herself, that sharp edge comes from somewhere very real. During an exclusive interview on The TV Cave’s Soap Wire Podc

This week on Beyond The Gates, the Cotillion begins, the plasma ring comes to an explosive head, and someone meets fatal consequences. I don’t want to give too much away, but this week was good. Really good. I’ll be hitting the overarching storylines that dominated the week. Let’s discuss. Cotillion Cotillion preparation begins at Nicole’s, where Chelsea helps the girls and June with their makeup while Eva does their hair. I must say, the hair and makeup were done nicely. The

If you thought your family barbecue was going to be tense this week, just wait until you see what the residents of daytime television are cooking up. As we head into the final days of May, the networks are delivering a heavy dose of recycled plots, questionable life choices and the kind of dramatic stares that only a soap actor can truly pull off. Whether you are looking for long-lost kids returning from the dead or characters making the exact same mistakes for the twentieth

Soap operas love a good tragedy, but Beyond the Gates just delivered a plot twist that has fans screaming at their television screens. In a move that absolutely no one saw coming this early in the show’s run, Maryland’s favorite resident firefighter, Derek Baldwin, has officially met his maker. For a character who spent months being the show's resident pushover, his final moments were a massive, explosive departure that will change the lives of the residents behind the gates

We go inside the most talked-about event coming to Beyond the Gates. Beyond the Gates is gearing up to turn tradition into must-watch television with its three-episode cotillion arc airing May 18–20 and viewers should prepare for elegance. In an exclusive conversation on The Soap Wire Podcast, Najah Jackson and Alex Cheeks, who portray Samantha Richardson and Donnell McBride, opened up about stepping into one of the show’s most visually ambitious storylines yet. Set at the pr

This week on Beyond The Gates, Anita rings the bell, Chelsea takes control of the narrative, Eva and Izaiah exchange “I love yous,” and Grayson continues to be Lia’s favorite lab rat. It was a better week than last week, so let’s discuss. Monday Anita rings the bell after receiving her final treatment. Nicole and Dani are happy for her, as they should be. Speaking of Nicole and Dani, Darling Nikki tells Dani about seeing Ted while she was trying to get busy with Carlton. Dani

Last week on Beyond The Gates, Lia got more sinister with her threats, Grayson wanted to run for the hills, and then got dumped. This week was mildly better than the last. Let’s discuss. Monday Vernon goes to see the son of his heart, Bill, to talk about Martin. Bill lays out all the reasons Martin shouldn’t run, and somehow Vernon has me agreeing with Bill. Excuse me while I take a moment to let that sink in. Naomi visits Anita and becomes uncomfortable when Anita expresses
