Beyond the Gates early spoilers for the week of June 29th through July 3rd include Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) being completely fixated on his ex to the point that his current wife sniffs out the betrayal. Plus, Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) focuses on taking care of her family and sets herself aside once she gets good news.
There’s a lot to get into as we see the first full week of July sweeps, which sees the drama build. And honestly, they were already off to such a strong start with this transplant drama.
Beyond the Gates July Sweeps Begins – Week of June 24th-26th:
So, on Thursday, June 25th, this is day one of July sweeps. It’s already high drama is going to kick into high gear when they’ve basically already hit the ground running pre-sweeps with the crossover from Young and the Restless, the tornado that nearly killed people, and the Kat Richardson (Colby Muhammad) and Eva transplant drama.
So, on Thursday, we’re going to have more on Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) and Anita. He already pressed her to keep her appointment. So, Vernon’s gonna go along, I’m sure, as Anita heads back to Garland Memorial to see Dr. Bower about her lumpectomy scan and the consult. Anita’s docter, Dr. Bower, if you don’t remember, is the head of oncology. And it dawned on me that the name is in honor of Tamara Tuni being on the Fox show 24 years back because the guy Jack Bauer was the head of the agency and then she took over for him temporarily. I think it’s a little homage.
BTG Spoilers: Grayson Remains Hopeful
Also, on Thursday, Grayson Perez, (Jordi Valiasuso, has reason to hope for a romantic future with Ashley Morgan (Jen Jacob. She’s still grieving Derek Baldwin’s (Ben Gavin) tragic death that Grayson had a hand in, but he’s overall a good guy. So, we’ll see what sort of positive sign he gets from Ashley.
Also, this week, Bill’s at Uptown with Haley Lawson (Marquita Goings) and something Bill says has Haley asking why Bill thinks the tornado was about him. She wants to know why Bill can’t shake it off. And Haley says it’s like Bill is haunted. Naomi already chastised her dad for thinking about Dani, so this is a red flag.
And then on Thursday, Haley rolls up on an intense conversation between Bill and Dani. Honestly, Bill seems to be reminiscing fondly about the elevator encounter while Dani is terrified that Andre finds out and will be upset. And we know he is going to find out. It’s just a question of when.
Somebody surprises Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson) with a request on Thursday. And I wonder if this is Tomas asking Ted’s permission to propose to Kat. We know Tomas Navarro (Alex Alegria) is a pretty serious guy, pretty traditional, so I can see him doing something like that. Of course, Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla) doesn’t want the proposal to happen.
I’ll be curious to see if Ted thinks it’s a bad idea, fresh off Kat having the whole emotional ordeal of seeing her half-sister Eva injured and dying and then donating her part of her liver, suffering complications and all of that. But I can see why Tomas is inspired to propose. And Ted may say it’s up to Kat, not him.
Beyond the Gates: Celebrations and Secrets – Friday, June 26th
Friday, June 26. One family celebrates several wins. Obviously the Duprees because Anita may have a positive appointment with her oncologist. Kat’s recovering well after that scare. Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) won his primary. And you never know maybe Tomas proposes and Kat says yes on Beyond the Gates.
Dana “Leslie” Thomas (Trisha Mann) makes an announcement at the end of the week that causes panic. She just sincerely thanked Kat for saving Eva’s life. Her house got knocked down. She didn’t get to bribe the staff and Ted told her to donate to a hospital charity instead. So, we’ll see what Leslie does to freak people out.
Some Sibling Competition on BTG
Some siblings get competitive on Friday. Maybe Samantha Richardson (Najah Jackson) and Tyrell Richardson (Jaden Lucas Miller). Hopefully not Martin and Kat. And of course, there’s always the chance it could be Deanna McBride (Angela Fairley) and Donell McBride (Alex Cheeks) because we have Deanna scenes on Friday with her seeking advice from those she trusts.
It seems like she’s asking about Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) and Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) since that’s the issue that stresses Deanna the most. And she just got mad at her mom, Vanessa, when she heard Joey talking about running a bath for her after the tornado drama.
Deanna has zero chill where Joey’s concerned. She thinks he’s sus, and she’s right. Just as Kat was the one who was always right about Eva and Leslie, we know that Deanna’s gut is right about Joey since he had her dad Doug McBride (Jason Graham) killed so that he could have Vanessa all to himself. And speaking of her, Joey has a proposition for Vanessa. I wonder if he wants her to move in with him, but keep her house she had with Doug so her kids don’t have to say goodbye to the place they grew up in with all their memories of Doug.
Beyond the Gates: July Sweeps in Full Gear – June 29th Through July 3rd
Then the week of June 29th through July 3rd, this is going to be the first full week of July sweeps. We’re going to see things heating up, picking up momentum, and a lot of storylines. Kat and Eva should be out of the hospital by then. I thought it was interesting that Kat told Eva that they’re still not sisters, even though a chunk of Kat’s liver now lives in Eva’s body.
Even though she had that dream and I think she got some perspective, Kat’s not a fool and she’s not going to jump into, you know, hugs with Eva. So, I do think though this is a starting point of Kat being more open to Eva being around, but not Leslie. And I don’t blame Kat for that. Also, Leslie’s going to have to decide what to do with her house. Is she going to restart with a more normal mansion rather than that unholy, tacky mess that she was building? We’ll see.
BTG Spoilers: Bill Obsessing over Dani
Bill can’t let go of what happened between him and Dani in the elevator. And I could see Bill being foolish enough to tell Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) trying to break up his and Dani’s marriage so that Bill can try and win Dani back. And I do think Bill is like wine for her as a recovered alcoholic.
Not that she is, but an analogy. Dani knows that it’s bad for her, but she really enjoyed the taste of it until she realized what she was doing and then she was ashamed. Like when drunks fall off the wagon. I think Andre is a much healthier choice for her. Haley may sniff out Bill’s renewed interest in Dani, and it makes her more desperate to finish him off so she can get her payday before he ditches her.
And this long con Haley’s been working with help from Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry) turns to dust in her hands and she walks away with nothing. Kat may be planning a wedding if she says yes to Tomas, but I do wonder if she will accept the proposal. She may reject the ring, though, and I wonder if Chelsea will put a damper on it and tell her to slow her role.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Eva & Izaiah Grow Closer
Getting engaged hot on the heels of tragedy may not be a good idea for Kat, at least in Chelsea’s mind. Chelsea and Ted enjoy their relationship with less hassle from Leslie, but we’ll see how long her newfound chill lasts before she backslides to being her old awful self. We could see Izaiah Hawthorne (David Lami Friebe) and Eva’s relationship also taking a big step forward after her life-and-death ordeal.
Now, as you know, Izaiah was totally wrecked over the idea of losing Eva, and he didn’t leave her side till he knew that she was going to be okay. And Darlene Hawthorne (Monique Mosee) pledged to try harder with Eva. So, we’ll see if she sticks to that. Now, I don’t see Izaiah pulling out a ring or anything like that.
But he and Eva might move in together at her place or something low-key like that. That’s still a big step forward for them. Also, look for updates on Vanessa and Joey and her Deanna issues. Also, some updates on Ashley’s grief and where she and Grayson go from here and whether the mysterious Heather has really left town or is lurking.
