Beyond The Gates: Is Joey Hiding a Secret Child? Fans Have Got Theories!

Fairmont Crest has no lack of secrets, but Joey Armstrong‘s recent admission could take the cake. Joey, the sneaky casino owner, recently dropped a small but significant hint in Beyond the Gates. And now, fans believe a new family twist is in the works.

Joey Drops a Hint That Changes Everything

Joey Armstrong is hardly the most reliable man in town. From threatening Doug to snooping around Vanessa‘s business and nosing into Ted‘s affairs, he‘s always scheming something. But on the May 12 episode, Joey spilled something while hanging out with Vanessa McBride.

Turns out, he has an adult child from a previous relationship. That surprising remark has viewers going wild. If Joey actually has a child in Fairmont Crest, who might it be—and do they even know?

Theories Run Wild in Beyond the Gates

It wasn’t long before theories went viral on social media. One of the X fans confidently stated, “Ten dollars it‘s Ashley,” in reference to Ashley Morgan. Another viewer jumped in, mentioning a physical similarity between Joey and her. Others thought it might be Ashley‘s boyfriend, Derek.

And some theories extended even further, hypothesizing that it might be one of Martin and Smitty‘s twins. One crazy prediction even included Nicole, with a viewer picturing Anita might have been pregnant when she met Vernon, and Joey was the father. It’s all just speculation for now, but in a town full of tangled relationships, any of these theories could hold water.

What Happens If the Truth Comes Out?

If Joey’s mystery child is already part of the Fairmont Crest drama, completely unaware of their connection to him, it could shake everything up. And knowing Joey, he’s unlikely to reveal the truth without using it to his advantage.

Whether it’s Ashley, Derek, a Dupree, or someone else entirely, the fallout would be huge. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Beyond The Gates spoilers and updates.
