CBS released the first trailer for the upcoming Soap Opera Beyond the Gates, and it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. There are rich people, sex, over-the-top fights, and lots of expensive fashion. That is what Daytime Dramas are about. Thus. why they have drama in the title of the genre.
Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington, D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you’ll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those who live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have “made it” and those who haven’t are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
BTG debuts on February 24th. Are you going to watch? I am going to check it because we are going to need the distraction from reality.
Earlier this year, CBS announced that they were launching the first new Soap Opera since 1999, and today, they announced when it will debut in honor of the first African-American Daytime Drama beginning production this month.

It is going to be interesting to see if people will tune in. Soaps have been on the decline for over a decade, so can a new show jump start interest? We will find out when it debuts on February 24th.
Days of our Lives is currently in its 60th season. Today, the cast and crew of the Soap Opera got some great news from Peacock. They were picked up for another season.
There was a time when it looked like the show was on its last legs, but like Phoenix, it keeps on rising from the ashes, like Stefano DiMera.
Hopefully, it will be around for many more decades because six of them are not enough.
In August, General Hospital unceremoniously fired Kelly Monaco. Since then, the actress has not spoken out about her forced departure.
Over the weekened, she broke her silence. She wrote, “Last scene with the Davis girls. still doesn’t make any sense to me.”
It doesn’t make sense to any of us. Monaco joined the Sopa Opera in 2003 Sam McCall, and she quickly became one of the beloved people on the show.
I hope that the first winner of Dancing with the Stars will not be out of work for too long. There is a reason why everyone is pissed that she was let go. She can still make you love her even when you were not supposed to.
The Soap World is shocked today because Soap Opera News is reporting that Kelly Monaco has been fired from General Hospital and her character Sam McCall will be killed off in the Fall.
A source told the site, “Monaco was ‘blindsided’ upon learning of the decision.”
Monaco has been on temporary leave, and the role of Sam is being played by Lindsay Hartley. This is not the first time she has been on leave from the series in recent years.
Could that be why GH is parting ways with one of their more popular characters?
The actress has been a fan favorite since she joined the Daytime Drama in 2003.
