Next on Beyond the Gates
Donnell Gets an Earful
Donnell (Alex Cheeks) is home for the holidays. Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) decides to give her son the gift of confession. In the weekly spoilers, Vanessa confesses the truth about her relationship with Joey (Jon Lindstrom) to Donnell.
Vanessa sees her relationship with Joey as her present and her future. She is feeling more herself with the corrupt casino owner than she did with Doug (Jason Graham) towards the end of their marriage. And she wants everybody to know. No more hiding. Vanessa and Joey spectacularly went public at the country club, and now she tells her grieving son. How will he react?
Hayley’s Fed Up
Meanwhile, Hayley (Marquita Goings) storms out on Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett). In BTG’s weekly video preview, Hayley had a reminder for Bill: “Just remember, Duprees aren’t your family anymore. I am.”
This holiday season, it has felt like Bill has been missing being a member of the Dupree inner circle. He wasn’t part of their Thanksgiving celebration, and he’s reminiscing about Christmases past with Dani (Karla Mosley). It has been a year since he blew up his family, and he’s finally feeling what he gave up to marry Hayley.
This may be why Hayley has had it. After all, she has a plan to carry out. Murdering Bill won’t work if he keeps wandering back to Dani.
Gossip Blindsides Nicole
Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix, who recently teased her character’s love triangle) hears something from her ex that she can’t quite comprehend. After hearing what Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) had to tell him about Vernon (Clifton Davis) cheating on Anita (Tamara Tunie), Ted (Keith D. Robinson) apparently runs to his ex-wife to fill her in.
Of course, she can’t comprehend a word Ted is saying. Nicole knows her parents are more than solid. Cheating is for men like Ted and Bill, not her dad. The important thing here is what she does with what Ted tells her. How will the psychiatrist deal with this impending drama?
A Candid Cancer Conversation
Finally, Anita and Vernon have a candid conversation that leaves them both rocked. This must be when Anita tells her loving husband about her breast cancer diagnosis.
Vernon will undoubtedly take the new hard. This is the love of his life, and she’s about to experience the battle of her life. But he will be there for her. In the video preview, she puts on a very determined face, and she wants them to make this the best Dupree Christmas ever.
How will Anita react when she hears about the gossip that’s spreading about her husband cheating on her?
