Next week marks the first anniversary of Beyond the Gates. The newest CBS soap premiered on February 24, 2025, to much fanfare, billboards, and soap fans rooting for its success. Since premiering, the show has been named one of the best shows of 2025.
It recently received NAACP Image Award and Writers Guild of America Award nominations. And has carried out crossovers with its sister soaps, The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. And another major Y&R crossover is coming up this summer.
The week of February 23-27, BTG unloads a huge guest-star appearance from CBS Mornings‘ co-host, Gayle King. She’ll be on hand to presumably interview the most famous Articulette, Anita Williams Dupree. After this week’s events, Anita decides to go public with her cancer diagnosis, and she must feel she needs King’s help to do that.
In other BTG news, there’s a break in Hayley’s mugging case, which could be bad news for Bill’s wife. Meanwhile, Kat has a proposition for her boyfriend Tomas. That doesn’t seem too dramatic for the co-founder of ChelseaKat. Unfortunately, her interactions with people after that grow more volatile. By the end of the week, she is knee-deep into a particularly vicious confrontation with both Leslie and Eva. Will someone help this toxic trio de-escalate the situation?
Key Takeaways
- Beyond the Gates celebrates its one-year anniversary with major buzz and award nominations.
