Picking up from Friday’s clash, Eva and Kat’s toxic relationship puts their dad’s new fiancée in a tough spot. The Beyond the Gates spoilers for October 19 suggest that Shanice is caught between Kat and Eva. A scenario that is totally not shocking at all. Elsewhere, Ted tells a little too much. And Nicole evades important questions. Here’s your Monday preview.
Key Takeaways
- Shanice gets caught in the middle of Kat and Eva’s ongoing feud as wedding planning approaches.
- Ted reveals a little too much, while Nicole avoids answering important questions.
- Anita and Vernon receive surprising news, while Ashley and Grayson’s romance heats up.
Kat and Eva Put Shanice in an Impossible Position
Now that Ted (Keith D. Robinson) and Shanice (Ernestine Johnson) are engaged, wedding planning must get underway quickly. After all, this is a Christmas wedding. There’s not much time.
Martin (Brandon Claybon) is too busy with the election to be his dad’s best man. And he also has a husband who is knee-deep in major drama that could land him in jail. So, best man duties fall to Andre (Sean Freeman).
According to the weekly teasers, Shanice is caught between Kat (Colby Nixon) and Eva (Ambyr Michelle). The half-sisters who resent the hell out of each other are clashing once again. The semi-truce from the liver transplant is over. On Friday, Eva took Kat to task for breaking the news about Ted’s engagement to her mother.
If this awkwardness has to do with helping Shanice plan the wedding, then we’re going to have to brace ourselves for skirmishes, battles, and maybe even an all-out war if they can’t figure out how to get along. This is supposed to be Shanice’s happiest time of her life. Let’s hope the half-sisters remember that.
Ted Can’t Keep Quiet, but Nicole Won’t Talk
While Shanice deals with Ted’s warring daughters, there’s a chance that Ted makes a faux pas. This tends to happen when one tells a little too much.
As for his ex-wife, Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) isn’t saying much. In fact, her coping strategy, most likely related to Ted’s impending nuptials, is to evade important questions. Nicole could actually be reeling from this engagement news. Who knew?
Anita and Vernon Are Caught Completely Off Guard
Anita (Tamara Tunie) and Vernon (Clifton Davis) have had to deal with their fair share of shocking family news lately. Hayley (Marquita Goings) pulled a gun on Dani (Karla Mosley) and tried to black widow Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) out of existence.
Hayley used Martin’s pain to keep herself out of prison. Meanwhile, Smitty (Mike Manning) was arrested. And Tyrell (Jaden Lucas Miller) is dating Chessy (Madison Alsobrook). On Monday, Anita and Vernon are thrown by an unexpected update. Could it be Ted and Shanice’s engagement?
Ashley and Grayson Turn Up the Heat
While chaos reigns in every other part of the DMV, things are progressing nicely for Ashley (Jen Jacob — the actress recently announced her pregnancy) and Grayson (Jordi Vilasuso).
Grayson is making money legitimately as one of the bartenders at Uptown. Ashley just got promoted at Garland after a year on the job. Next up for the couple: they get extra affectionate. What do they mean by “extra”?
