This Show Is Finally Beefing Up The Drama‼️ Praise Jesus‼️🙌🏽

I didn’t think we would ever see any drama on this soap.

Today was actually good‼️

I think Andre is going to leave Dani, and with good reason. Why the hell is she sniffing around Bill like a lost puppy?

It didn’t take much for Hayley to start singing like a canary. She threw Randy under the bus with a quickness. Now she might have a problem with Leslie…and I’m here for it.

Why in the world couldn’t Bill have Hayley/Val checked out by his PI from the jump? I don’t even understand. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Chelsea Pulls Up On Hayley & Gets Slapped The Fudge Down‼️😂😂😂

I said I would die laughing….🤣 😂😂

Chelsea showed up to a gunfight with a feather.

Instead of swinging on Hayley when she wasn’t looking she threw a freaking drink on her!

June is right. Chelsea would have got her ass beat.

Now What Happens To Randy⁉️🤔🤔🤔

I like his character, but if Hayley goes down she is likely going to take him with her. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Will Mona come save him with her Bible and holy water?

Will he turn on Hayley?

Is Joey going to use his card with Vernon to save him?

There is potential with his character. Tying him to Hayley was a mistake.

Heather Is A Brand New Character Yet She Is Already Better Written & Interwoven Into The Show Than The Regulars‼️‼️🤔🤔🤔

The diagram shows everyone she has interacted with so far. I forgot to add Carlton.

They managed to do for her what they have failed to do with Martin, Smitty, Naomi, Eva, Kat, etc: Incorporate her into some actual soapy nuanced drama surrounding multiple characters. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I like the actress and the character. She is one of the few things popping on this show. With that said…

I try to stir clear of conspiracy theories, but some of this shit is glaring.

Vernon can’t get a storyline beyond saying, “Yes my love.”

We’ve been sitting here watching Hayley give Bill some children’s Tylenol for over a year while sideshow clown Leslie begs to be her friend (WTF?!)

Nicole, Ted, Dani, Kial, Shanice and Andre don’t do anything except have sex.

They must have figured out that Ashley is unpopular because she has been on the back burner for a while now. My guess: Heather is her replacement.

Pill popping short bus Chelsea is a grown woman who gets portrayed like a dimwitted 12 year old who is supposedly engaged to a brilliant doctor.

We spent weeks watching whisper cop Jacob posted up on a brick wall in a storyline that didn’t make a lick of sense while his annoying wife lied carrying a potentially life altering gene.

We barely see Anita unless she is listening to the nonsense spouted by her descendants in the family living room.

They are getting ready to spin the block with Eva, Izaiah, and Kat…basically what Eva, Tomas, and Kat were supposed to be but nobody could realistically wrap their heads around two black women fighting over a dry stiff Hispanic guy.

🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

I leave for my trip on Tuesday. I’m going to pray for y’all and this show.

I’m Taking Another Break From The Show‼️

This is just a heads up.

I’m stepping away from the sub and this show for a while.

My financial advisor told me I need to get out and enjoy my money. I agree, which is why I’m taking off for a tour of Asia.

I’ll still check modmail and respond to questions/reports etc, but otherwise I’m going to be ghost for a while. We have another mod on this sub…though she is largely silent. You can reach out to her as well.

As for the petition…I sat down to write it and ended up saying fuck it. I’m not sure it’s worth the time and energy. I’m not sure it will even make a difference.

I have better things I can do with my time while on PTO.

I’m sorry to disappoint some people who may have been looking forward to it. If someone else wants to run with the idea feel free to do so.

Otherwise, if you need to reach me you know where to find me.

“A Petition for the Future of Beyond the Gates. A Call for Stronger Writing, Deeper Characterization & Bolder Storytelling” Will Be Forthcoming From Me.

I’m on PTO until the end of September. So I got time…

It’s time for us, the fans, to take our discontent about this show public.

I’m going to sit down and write up a petition.

I’m going to send it to CBS, P&G, NAACP, all the major media outlets, TMZ, all the major soap opera websites, etc.

If you are happy with this show this is not your fight. Move along…

As for everyone else, I’m going to post the petition on this sub and on Change.org. Show your support by sharing it and signing it.

And before I get the inevitable, “We need to support this black soap, its actors, crew, etc….”

Just remember MVJ told us she doesn’t give a damn what we think. So, it’s fuck her all day for me. If she ends up losing her job maybe her ass needs to think twice about biting the hands that feeds her (I.e., the viewers/fans).

To Be Continued…

We Do Not Have A Clear Winner For The Randy Watson Award‼️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Sigh…

This show sucks so bad there isn’t a clear consensus of who the top performer was last week.

Since this is the reality let’s take a viewership poll…

How close are you to checking out of this show?

Don’t Shoot The Messenger: AI Could Change Soaps, Films, & TV In General‼️🫣🫣🫣

I just saw this on Instagram.

I legit think the future is staring us in the face. 🫣

I know some people don’t like Ai and are hellbent against the technology. I see it as a speeding train that is fast approaching…whether people like it or not.

And it appears the Chinese are more advanced than us.

I have never watched an AI micro drama, but I’m curious about the technology. I’m going to dig deeper into this rabbit hole.

How do you feel about this subject matter?

Could it be used to revive the American soap opera genre?

What will it mean for soaps, actors, scriptwriters, etc?

Consider for a second that with this technology literally anyone can become a creator.

Was There Wasted Potential With The Lia Whitmore Character⁉️🤔🤔🤔

I thought for certain we would see more of this lady.

I honestly think there was potential with the character. The actress who portrays her was definitely one of the better actors on the show.

But of course they went and killed her off…😒😒😒

Thoughts?

Falsely Reporting Posts & Comments‼️😒😒😒

I’m going to make a very important change to this sub…

As of right now one report of a post or comment sends said post/comment into moderation.

These posts and comments are completely removed until they can be reviewed by a moderator.

This will be changing.

It will now take a specific (undisclosed) number of reports for these things to come down.

Why?

Because there are some assholes who are abusing the report function.

Rather than reporting things that actually break this sub’s rules (or those of Reddit) they are reporting posts/comments they simply don’t like or disagree with.

For example, the recent post about Joey being the main character was reported and automatically removed. I approved it, and put it back up.

There was nothing offensive or inappropriate about the post.

Discussing uncomfortable subjects doesn’t make a post or comments inappropriate. If reading or discussing these things bothers you it’s best you don’t read or contribute to said posts.

It’s that simple.

If someone is flat out spouting something racist etc by all means report them or better yet simply message the mods.

I have tried to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. Regardless of race, ideologies, etc everyone is welcomed here.

With that said, I think people need to be real with themselves about the various elephants in the room when it comes to this specific daytime soap.

Race and racism is going to come up. It is inevitable…especially in today’s world.

If discussing these things makes you uncomfortable you need to remove yourself or avoid posts and comments that do discuss these things.

Eva Isn’t Insecure. That Hussy Kat Is Coming For Her Man‼️😒😒😒

Remember when the Kat stans used to come to this sub and shout, “Kat just wants to be left alone…”

Where are those people now??? Somewhere eating their words I guess with her constantly sniffing around Eva and Izaiah. 😒😒😒

It’s clear as day Kat is moving in on Eva’s man. We, the audience, can see it. Eva can see it.

Kat’s relationship with Tomas was doomed from the start. It was dry as hell. His dick wasn’t popping. He was opportunistic. And she was too prideful to admit that the dude who slept with her sister wasn’t it.

Now we see her moving in on Eva’s territory and I’m not here for it.

I’m over the back and forth between these two.

Many of us are so badly soured on the nasty negative rivalry that we wish the dumbass writers would stop writing them in each other’s orbit period.

Kat has known Izaiah presumably for years. Why make her/him interested in each other now….when he is her sister’s man?

The Allison Storyline Didn’t Make Sense Before & It Doesn’t Make Sense Now‼️🤨🤨🤨

After Allison supposedly kidnapped Chelsea we, the viewers, never saw any sort of conclusion.

Only recently (last week) have we learned the woman ended up in a mental ward

We never saw a trial.

We never saw her stand before a judge.

We never knew what became of her until last week.

This is the nonsense I hate about the writing on this show. It is disjointed as hell.

Now we’re supposed to believe that Chelsea, who after a few episodes went back to life as normal, is suddenly having nightmares again on the one anniversary of the kidnapping.

Mind you, there has been little to no mention of Allison or the kidnapping fiasco from Chelsea or anyone in that time.

We never saw Chelsea in therapy. We never saw her having nightmares or PTSD after the initial few episodes after the kidnapping. We have barely seen Chelsea period (they might as well drop her to recurring).

Today Chelsea called Allison her “ex” when the two of them were never in a relationship. We also saw Allison writing letters to her “wife” from the institution.

God help us. We are getting ready to get Allison 2.0 just in time for Halloween.

SMDH.

So Ted Really Did Dirty Dog Leslie‼️‼️‼️🫣😈🫣😈

They finally gave us something that should have been explained and shown in season one: The background story of Leslie’s obsession and madness.

Ted led her on.

He told Leslie he loved her and took off his wedding ring.

Instead of Leslie supposedly stealing/going after a married man Ted went after/pursued Leslie. He even told Bill his marriage was over.

Now at least viewers can understand why Leslie has such animosity (albeit misguided) towards Nicole. It’s because Ted led her to believe his marriage was over and then dirty dogged her by returning to his wife.

Anyway, now they need to do a follow up episode to show us Ted’s reaction to Leslie getting pregnant.

Chessnut Companion Clock Issue 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

After weeks of waiting for the Chessnut Companion clock it finally arrived today…non-working and seemingly broken.

🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

The face of the clock was completely detached and stuck to the black foam in the box where it appears the glue on the back attached itself to the foam.

The clock was poorly packaged. There was nothing protecting the clock face (no plastic film…nothing). There was nothing protecting the clock period. One of the buttons appears to be damaged as well.

I can’t tell you how disappointing this is to me.

I own both a Chessnut Move and Evo.

I was really looking forward to this thing.

I have never returned or exchanged one of their products.

I know they are based in China.

How quickly is the process? Is it easier to request a refund or request an exchange?

The clock is now selling for more than I paid weeks ago. I’m concerned.

Andre & Heather: Any Theories⁉️ Part Two 🤔🤔🤔

I think Heather is going to find out about Dani and Bill.

Once she finds out she is either going to tell Andre or make sure he finds out.

Andre is going to be hurt. He will then turn to Heather.

As a side note: I like the actress who plays Heather and I like the character.

And honestly I’m interested in seeing where this thing with her and Andre goes.
