00:00There's nothing quite like a crossover to shake things up in the soap world.
00:05And guess what?
00:06Beyond the Gates is already hinting at a major one, and not just with The Bold and the Beautiful,
00:11but also The Young and the Restless.
00:13So are we about to witness the ultimate Big 3 crossover?
00:17Let's find out right away.
00:20Hey everyone, welcome to Trend Street.
00:24Beyond the Gates finally made its big debut on February 24th, and let's just say it
00:29wasted no time bringing the drama.
00:32Set in the Maryland suburb just outside of Washington, D.C., the soap is focused around
00:36the Dupree family, a multi-generational affluent African-American family in a gated community
00:42called Fairmount Crest.
00:44And trust us, from the very first episode, it was all about scandal, secrets, and sizzling
00:50hot drama.
00:52The introduction to the Duprees was nothing short of iconic, with Anita Dupree and her
00:56perfect eldest daughter, Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson, catching up over breakfast at
01:01the country club.
01:02But things got even juicier as we met Dani Dupree, the rebellious younger daughter, whose
01:07life is currently in absolute chaos.
01:10Why?
01:11Well, because her husband of 35 years, Bill Hamilton, decided to have an affair with none
01:16other than Hayley Lawson.
01:18And to make matters worse, Hayley wasn't just some random woman, she was practically family.
01:24After being welcomed with open arms by Dani, her daughters Naomi and Chelsea, and the rest
01:29of the Hamilton clan, Hayley repaid their kindness by running off with Bill.
01:34If that wasn't bad enough, Bill and Hayley are now set to tie the knot.
01:38But let's be real, Bill doesn't exactly scream catch.
01:41Anita made it clear on Monday's episode that she never liked him, and honestly, we see
01:46why.
01:47Turns out, Hayley isn't the first woman he cheated with, she's just the first one he
01:51actually left Dani for.
01:54Then, we also met Ashley Morgan, who had her first day at work, while her boyfriend Derek
02:00Baldwin made her breakfast to celebrate.
02:02But sparks flew when she met freelance photographer Andre Hamilton.
02:07Trouble in paradise already?
02:09Meanwhile, Naomi Dupree Hawthorne and her husband Jacob had a steamy morning.
02:14We also saw the family patriarch, Vernon Dupree, a retired senator, meet with his grandson,
02:20Congressman Martin Richardson, for coffee before heading to the country club.
02:24But wait, just because the show is already dishing out major drama, doesn't mean that's
02:28all the surprise is in store.
02:31CBS has been teasing a crossover with The Young and the Restless or The Bold and the
02:35Beautiful.
02:37Created by former B&B writer Michelle Valjean, Beyond the Gates is already part of the Bell
02:41Verse, so the crossover potential is huge.
02:46Eagle-eyed fans even caught a possible hint in The Bold and the Beautiful's weekly preview
02:51when a character said,
02:56And if that wasn't enough, Beyond the Gates' Welcome to the Neighborhood special also dropped
03:00some crossover clues.
03:02And if you need more proof that this crossover is happening, just look at the behind-the-scenes
03:06action.
03:07Beyond the Gates recently held a star-studded event and some familiar faces showed up.
03:12From YNR, we had Courtney Hope, Brighton James, Christelle Khalil, Sean Dominick, and
03:18Melissa Claire Egan.
03:19Meanwhile, from B&B, we had John McCook and Lawrence St. Victor.
03:24And did you know Carla Muesli, who plays Danny Dupree, and Melissa Claire Egan, aka Chelsea,
03:29on YNR, actually went to high school together?
03:33Egan even shared a throwback pic from 1999 of them in what looks like a school play with
03:38the caption,
03:42Now, if that's not a sign that we need a Chelsea and Danny crossover, we don't know what is.
03:47So what do you guys think?
