Fans tuning in to Beyond the Gates during Labor Day week won’t be getting the new drama they’ve been waiting for. Instead, the soap is setting the stage for a trip back to one of its most explosive storylines.
Past Breaks Set The Pattern
This isn’t the first time the daytime drama has paused its schedule since its debut earlier this year. Back in late June, Beyond the Gates went off air for a full week between June 30 and July 4. At that time, CBS brought back the show’s premiere episodes so viewers could relive the launch of the Duprees’ world. That move was unusual compared to other soaps. Normally, only a single repeat episode airs during a holiday.
Beyond the Gates, however, cleared its full week to give fans another look at the earliest days of the series. The same approach is now being repeated, showing that the soap has set its own path when it comes to holiday breaks. Meanwhile, production has continued to move forward behind the scenes. The show recently filmed its 200th episode, and several cast members confirmed they have already wrapped filming for season one.
Beyond The Gates: A Change To The Schedule
Episode 124 had originally been expected to air on September 1. CBS has now pushed the premiere date back to September 8, giving the series another week off. During that time, the network will re-air episodes 45 through 49. These repeats take you back to one of the show’s most dramatic moments; the Ted and Nicole wedding anniversary, along with the shocking Leslie and Dana reveal.
For anyone who missed the episodes, or fans who want to re-watch the big twist, CBS is offering the chance to experience the storyline again. While some may feel disappointed about waiting another week, the reruns serve as a reminder of just how much drama Beyond the Gates has already delivered in its first season.
The short break might test viewers’ patience, but it also builds anticipation. When episode 124 finally airs on September 8, Beyond the Gates will return ready to push the drama forward once again.
