Clifton Davis also has Soap Experience. he was on a world apart (a proctor & gamble soap opera with rosetta lenoire) family matters. He worked with Susan Sullivan (Ex Lenore Curtin #2 on Another World) and Maggie Gioberti Channing on Falcon Crest. He also worked with the late legendary soap actor Robert Gentry (Search For Tomorrow, Another World, Days Of Our Lives, Guiding Light, The Doctors) (NBC), The Best Of Everything, One Life To Live, All My Children (As Ross Chandler) and on Guiding Light he played Ed Bauer #2 and came back in the 1990's and did double duty as Craig Morris on Another World. He also played Elliott The forrester attorney on the bold & the beautiful in 1993 when Brooke Logan Forrester acquired 51% of forrester stock. I told UK Soap Fans about The Gates and I'm sure they were very impressed. Eastenders always had black actors since it's debut in 1985.
I can go back as far as Edge of Night, Love is a many Splendored thing. Love of life,Search for tomorrow. I remember watching the first episodes of B&B and Y&R.
I can’t wait to watch. I have loved the actors who are on the show, in other projects. Super excited to see what the new soap opera will bring to daytime entertainment.
Please let it be good acting. Some of the soap operas on other channels aren’t good to me. I hope it don’t seem fake. Their acting abilities will determine whether or not I’ll be watching. Young n the Restless n Bold n the beautiful👍🏽I’ve loved for two decades. Let’s see if this makes the lineup. PLEASE REPRESENT……
I am happy to see an all black cast soap show come on major TV CBS . Keep on advertising this black soap show in any way that can be done . It is hoped that the show can be taped daily for persons to watch at their convenience. Happy Happy Happy for this project.
I have severe reservations just from the trailer, BUT I’m definitely going to do my part and tune in for the first few episodes to see if this series is any good. It’s been awhile since I’ve indulged in the guilty pleasures of daytime 😊
As a black man. I could care less if it's a black soap opera or a white soap opera. If there's a great plot and good storyline. That's all the meat and potatoes you need. Race and identity politics got defeated 11/05/2024. A good story is what counts. People will tune in for that.
We, the public are putting in our vote to have the following two persons play permanent characters on the new daytime #1 soap show Beyond the Gate based in Maryland * Victoria Rowell *Shema Moor
I saw that dramatic preview and I am here for the drama BUT I also really really want grounded characters that we can identify with in terms of motivation and their hearts so that we can root for them or against them with common sense. I say this because the writing for the current four soaps have lacked common sense character development and sensible motivation good strong plot story building that involves character motivations. I will most certainly my support this wonderful debut and will stick with the show just as long as it does right by me as a watcher with a brain, a heart and a strong love for this genre I have been engaged with for so many decades. Started watching in 1990 and fell fast and hard because of the character development and the compelling storytelling. Granted soap features some nonsense that we put our rose colored glasses to not dwell too much on but it’s VERY important that the characters and the stories have heart and soul we can invest in and get rewarded for
Purple Diamond - I agree that 3:00PM/Eastern time would be a great time to air BEYOND THE GATES rather than airing the show at 2:00PM against GENERAL HOSPITAL. As popular as GH is, I don’t want to see GH overshadow the new daytime soap, which is what has happened before when new daytime soaps of yesteryear premiered in the past. Personally, I plan to watch BEYOND THE GATES because I support the show 100%, and I want to see be a success.
I can’t wait. I hope it’s worth the hype. I love the actors and actresses that are coming aboard. I have watched Y and R for years and heard so much about them mistreating African Americans.
I am intrigued, but new is a stretch. I see the same narrative as other soap operas: black characters who are two shades from white with obligatory fake hair. I truly hope Beyond the Gates is better than the window dressing.
I hope it don't be a negative stereotype of black people, plus being overly sexualized, bowing to white people, etc. I want to see a strong positive African American soap opera. That's the only way, i will watch it.
I stopped watching soap opera’s long time ago. The storyline’s are always the same. They end up replacing your favorite character with another actor for that same character and that characters personality ends up changing all together. First, the character might look very different and it becomes a shock to the viewer. Or they try to find a look a like but the actors voice is different and their mannerisms I hate that. I remember they Would announce who was the fill in actor for that character. I wonder if they still do that?
I doubt very seriously if this show is anything like the have and the have nots because P&G and the NAACP definitely won’t March to that type of drum beat….
So I just want to know why is this not racist against white people. Its an all black cast and YET all the white soap operas had to put black actors and actresses in them. Because these soaps were called racist from black people. But now that its an all black cast its not racist. I wish the show well But its racist.
Patricia - I don’t agree that BEYOND THE GATES is a racist daytime soap simply because it has primarily an all Black cast. If anything, the show is trying to promote more diversity in daytime, and diversity is really lacking on the currently airing 4 daytime soaps. While I only watch 3 of the 4 daytime soaps, I see a real lack of diversity and a small number of Black characters on each soap. For example: THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL only has 2 Black actors on the show right now, and both of the actors are rarely shown in front burner stories, which is very saddening. In my opinion, it will be a refreshing change to see another daytime soap with a primarily Black cast on the show. Since GENERATIONS was pretty much ahead of its time when it aired between 1989 till 1991, I think that daytime viewers simply were not ready for an all Black cast daytime soap back then and this is what caused the early demise of GENERATIONS. Now in 2024 and 2025, it feels like viewership has evolved for the better and viewers are now more than ready for a soap like BEYOND THE GATES. I, for one as a Black man and soap watcher myself, will be watching this new soap when it airs.
@@TheSecretStarr your talking about diversity. this is all black and is not diversified. We are always being accused of being racist but when Black movies or TV shows have only black people then its ok and not racist. General hospital has alot of Black actors and actresses and no one is racist on the show. This is great for the black actors and actresses, and I wish them well. But It is racist and an insult to white actors and actresses. Its a great idea but it is racist and the video is stating that its for black views only. what is that about.
It's not racist. White people aren't the default like the other shows. It's just black people aren't side characters. Just because something doesn't center white people doesn't make it racist. Just like everything that centers white people isn't always racist. Watch Y&R,B&B and GH I love them but not a lot of diversity.
I can’t wait to watch. I have loved the actors who are on the show, in other projects. Super excited to see what the new soap opera will bring to daytime entertainment.
I'm so looking forward to this! Can't go wrong with Clifton Davis and Tamara Tunie as the leads. Excellent casting!
