The drama at the Richardson household might be intense, but behind the scenes, it’s all laughs and love, at least if you ask Karan Kendrick. The Beyond the Gates actress, who plays the ever-observant Mona Wilson, just gave fans a glimpse into what makes her job so special, and let’s just say, it’s not just the scripts.
Housekeeper to Heartbeat in Beyond the Gates
Fans of Beyond the Gates know Mona as the loyal, nosy, and sometimes hilariously blunt housekeeper for Nicole Dupree Richardson and Ted Richardson. Whether she offers advice, makes a sly comment, or catches a bit too much household drama, Mona always manages to take the spotlight.
However, Kendrick’s real-life experiences on the show are just as entertaining. On Friday, she posted a reel on Instagram that showed her having a great time on set. She captioned her video, saying that the behind-the-scenes fun is just as entertaining as what fans see on screen.
Fans Can’t Get Enough of Karan
Karan’s post quickly sparked a reaction from BTG fans who love her both as Mona and as herself. One viewer commented that they had just watched her moments earlier, specifically in episode 72 from June 12. That episode featured Mona handing over some donuts as a “sweet” distraction, pretending to apologize while Kat pulled off a sneaky move involving Leslie.
Another fan gushed that they “watch religiously” and couldn’t be prouder of her work. A third commented that it was “so sweet” that she gets to enjoy her time at work, something not everyone can say about their jobs!
A Seasoned Pro Still Finds Joy in the Work
It’s no surprise that Kendrick fits right in on a fast-paced set like Beyond the Gates. The actress has appeared in everything from The Hunger Games to Grey’s Anatomy and The Originals. She has also made a name for herself in theater and has taken on the producer role in several projects.
Yet, what’s most refreshing is that after all that experience, Karan still finds joy in everyday moments, laughing with castmates, cracking jokes, and making the workplace feel like home. Beyond the Gates fans love Mona, but they might love Karan Kendrick even more now that they’ve seen her real-life personality shining through. Judging by how she talks about her job, the feeling is mutual. For all the latest Beyond the Gates updates and behind-the-scenes news, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily!
