Comings & Goings: The Week of May 11-15, 2026
For the first time in a couple of weeks, there will be five brand-new episodes of BTG. This comes at the perfect time since the cotillion drama is heating up. Ben Gavin, who plays Derek, is back on Monday, May 11, when the free clinic’s general manager apologizes to his ex-fiancée, Ashley (Jen Jacob).
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, May 12, there’s a real blast from the past, someone Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) hasn’t seen in a year. In the video preview at the end of Friday’s episode, who shows up but Mike Davis, one of Bill’s former partners at his law firm. If you recall, Mike was a partner until he got fired after he sexually harassed multiple women at the firm. This is a return for Pierce Lackey, who plays Mike.
Additionally, Malachi Malik reappears as Elon Hawthorne. His police chief character helps out Chelsesa (RhonniRose Mantilla) and Madison, which means Kenjah returns as well. And it looks like Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) and Carlton are on a roll. Robert Christopher Riley was part of the action during the week of May 4, and now he’ll be back the week of May 11.
Alex Alegria’s Tomas clocks some time with Smitty (Mike Manning) on Wednesday, May 13. And then it’s a busy Thursday when Anita and Vernon talk to Anita’s oncologist, Dr. Bauer. So look for Ivan Moore to appear in scenes with Tamara Tunie and Clifton Davis.
May 14 is when the Belleclaires battle Nicole and Najah Jackson’s Samantha. If the Belleclaires are making their presence known, then look out for Timeca Seretti, who plays Anastasia, and Madison Alsobrook, who plays Anastasia’s granddaughter, Francesca/Chessy.
Alex Cheeks, who plays Vanessa’s son, Donnell, also visits the DMV. And Mona’s words affect Randy. So here’s to Karan Kendrick and Maurice P. Kerry (who spoke about Randy and Mona on a recent podcast) sharing scenes again. It’s been a minute.
Finally, Grayson’s trying to remove himself from the plasma ring, so Jordi Vilasuso will pop up on Friday, May 15. Darryl W. Handy and Cecelia Specht will be on hand when Marcel questions Lia. Ted’s big idea will require Shanice’s Aunt Monica’s help.
As a result, Iona Morris (Monica) and Ernestine Johnson (Shanice) are set to join the BTG fun. So does Jaden Lucas Miller, who plays Tyrell. Unfortunately, the teen brings his sister Samantha to tears. How will Tyrell make things up to her?
