Vernon and Anita are one of Beyond The Gates‘ most popular and sweetest couples. The two aren’t shy about expressing their love and loyalty to each other. However, they’re about to face marital trouble, and fans fear the worst.
Key Takeaways
- Vernon and Anita are BTG’s most popular couple and seem to have a stable marriage.
- Recently, Vernon has been acting secretive, drawing suspicions from fans.
- Speculation is that Vernon might be having an affair.
Vernon’s Secret Call
Vernon (Clifton Davis) and Anita (Tamara Tunie), aka Vernita, have become BTG’s most famous couple. While their children and grandchildren are experiencing relationship drama, the Dupree patriarch and matriarch are a prime example of relationship goals and true love.
From the outside, it appears Vernita has a strong marriage, but trouble in paradise could be brewing. On the Oct. 20th episode, Vernon was talking with a mystery person on the phone. He said that he was disappointed he couldn’t make their appointment today. Anita came in just as Vernon was hanging up, and he claimed he was talking with his golf buddies.
Vernon’s secretive behavior has definitely raised eyebrows, and many viewers are fearing the worst. On X, BTG fans expressed their worry that Vernon is having an affair.
“I know they ain’t gonna have Vernon cheating on Anita,” wrote one user. One fan said the show better not be going the cheating route with Vernita, “With all these cheating fools on this show Vernon Dupree better not be one of them.”
Another commenter applauded the show, feeling it is keeping fans on edge with Vernon’s secret. “This show got viewers emotionally raw. Every time Vernon does something in secret: Viewers: He better not be cheating on Anita!”
What’s Vernon Hiding?
It’s understandable that fans would assume cheating, as it’s a common trope in soap operas and on BTG. Although many don’t want to think about Vernon having an affair, anything is possible.
Another theory is that Vernon may have had a secret child from a previous relationship before he met Anita. Now his son and daughter are in town and want to be part of the Dupree family.
Aside from an affair and a secret child, many fans are worried about Vernon’s health. Speculation is that the mystery caller is his doctor, and Vernon has an illness he’s hiding from his wife. Anita’s been through enough because of their family and Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant), and he doesn’t want to add more stress. However, keeping his health issues a secret will cause more harm than good.
Whatever Vernon is hiding is going to test his and Anita’s marriage. Will the couple survive their latest ordeal, or will it be the end of Vernita?
