Next on Beyond the Gates

On Tuesday, BTG celebrates its very first New Year’s Eve with a performance by special guest star Kenny Lattimore, known for R&B hits such as “Never Too Busy” and “For You.”
While Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) schemes, Ashley (Jen Jacob) and Derek (Ben Gavin) have yet another awkward conversation. However, the big news is that this year’s holiday will bring romance and devastation for those in Fairmont Crest.
A Romantic New Start to 2026
Ted (Keith D. Robinson) and Shanice (Ernestine Johnson) have worked at the same hospital for years. While they had a good working relationship, their professional bond evolved into a personal one as a friendship developed. And now it looks like that bond is about to deepen, and it all happens on New Year’s Eve.
Shanice has been giving Ted advice about the messy end of his marriage, and he has given her a high-tech bird feeder. They shared meals and desserts at Orphey Gene’s, and they even got stuck in an elevator. So it isn’t surprising that Ted and Shanice’s friendship is about to take a turn, and it happens on New Year’s Eve, according to BTG’s weekly video preview.
If these two really do get together, they’re already going to have a mammoth obstacle to overcome. Leslie Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) and her territorial and often terrifying tactics. She thinks Ted should be all hers. But if anyone can handle Leslie, it’s Shanice.
Devastating End to 2025
Both Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) and Dani (Karla Mosley) have had a tumultuous year. Nicole’s marriage ended while Dani found it hard to accept that her ex-husband had moved on, which caused her to act in very chaotic and toxic ways.
But the two have rebounded. Dani has already remarried. She has found real love and acceptance with Andre (Sean Freeman). And Nicole has finally moved on and is dating.
The weekly spoilers, however, reveal that there’s devastation ahead for the Dupree sisters when they receive heart-wrenching news. They will learn about their mother’s breast cancer diagnosis, which will change everything for them and bring about an emotional end to 2025.
