What to Expect on Beyond the Gates

A day of love is something to treasure in Fairmont Crest, and today is that day for our favorite characters and maybe our not so favorite ones too. In Tuedays episode, Couples across town celebrate Valentine’s Day in wildly different ways. Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) and Madison (Kenjah McNeil) will have their very first Valentine’s and as for Ashley (Jen Jacob) and Grayson (Jordi Vilasuso), they just may have already had their last. This week brings plenty of heat so a day of pressing pause for love is just the reset some people need before things go back to normal.

It’s Not Valentine's Without A Song

The last time we had someone sing to us was Vernon with a touching rendition of ‘Never can say goodbye’, which was notably written by Clifton Davis himself. But today, Anita (Tamara Tunie) takes back the mic. In Tuesday's episode, Anita serenades Vernon.

A Power Exchange

Also, to be a little different, Joey (Jon Lindstrom) is making some changes today, too, but just for the day, I imagine. In Tuesday's episode, Joey cedes control to Vanessa. Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) is loving the way their relationship is going, and we are too; it just seems a little too good right now. Which, in Fairmont Crest, is just a way of saying hold on tight, here we go again. We didn't just get an episode repeat of Doug’s (Jason Graham) last day yesterday for nothing…

That Wasn’t Supposed to Happen

I knew it, there was far too much calm in the Brownstone of late, and new drama was very needed. In Tuesday’s episode, Martin's (Brandon Claybon) gift to Smitty (Mike Manning) backfires. Smitty is stressed trying to find leads and information that will give him some idea of how the Blood-Plasma ring is connected and operating, and June is the key that needs a little turning. This storyline is going to see us looking at all sorts of people we may not have, and wondering whether they are involved and how far they are. At least one thing is a sunny spot; at least Smitty doesn’t have to wonder if Martin is involved this time.

What A Girl Wants

This is a very dangerous game Hayley (Marquita Goings) is playing right now, especially with Lynette (Dominique Madison) clearly going rogue. In Tuesday's episode, Hayley finally gets what she wants while Dani (Karla Mosley) teams up with someone unexpected to battle a common foe.
