Beyond the Gates weekly prediction edition dives into Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) crushing Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Dr. Ted Richardson (Maurice Johnson) defending someone.

We have predictions for Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) and Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings), for Dana “Leslie” Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) and Katherine “Kat” Richardson (Colby Muhammad), for Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) and Jacob (Jibre Hordges), for Joey, and for June and Ted.

Beyond the Gates: Hayley Exposes Dani and Bill’s Secret Kiss

Our first prediction: Hayley rats out Dani to her husband. Tuesday spoilers tease a surprising visitor stopping by with a gift for Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). It’s his birthday this week, and it looks like Dani brings the gift — and they wind up kissing again. This time, Hayley sees it. Later, she’s ranting about Bill, furious that he thinks he can play her after everything they’ve been through.

Wednesday spoilers show Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) confronting Dani with tough questions about Bill. On Thursday, Hayley plans a birthday surprise for Bill — but someone else winds up with it, likely when she catches the kiss. Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla) even thinks Dani got robbed this week.

Meanwhile, Andre and Dani talk about their future and whether they’ll continue their marriage. With Dani and Bill locking lips again, Hayley’s ready to expose them. She may run to Andre and tell him everything to encourage him to walk away from Dani. Hayley knows Bill only wants Dani when she’s unavailable, and she won’t let that mess up her plans. Expect Hayley to shut this down fast — possibly in a dramatic way.

Beyond the Gates: Leslie Schemes Against Cat to Reunite Tomas and Eva

Next up: Leslie plots against Kat. Wednesday spoilers show Kat and Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix) sharing big relationship updates — likely about Tomas “Tom” Navarro (Alex Alegria). Leslie’s determined to use her past to influence the future, and Ted may get caught in her web.

By Friday, Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle) and Tomas realize they’ve been played, while Kat plans an unforgettable night. Leslie’s furious. She’s still bitter that Tomas chose Kat over her daughter, Eva — and she’s romanticizing the situation as a repeat of her own heartbreak with Ted and Nicole. Expect Leslie to meddle and manipulate, possibly setting up Tomas and Eva to be alone while Kat waits for him elsewhere. Classic soap sabotage is brewing.

BTG: Naomi Faces Pregnancy Decision and Conflict with Jacob

Third prediction: Naomi decides to terminate her pregnancy, and Jacob is crushed. Monday spoilers show Dani suspecting Naomi’s pregnant, and by Thursday, the couple’s at odds. Dani confirms it’s decision day for Naomi, who’s conflicted while Jacob is overjoyed.

Jacob tries convincing Naomi to keep the baby, promising they can make it work with help and resources. But Naomi doesn’t want to raise a child right now — and she’s determined to choose her own path. Dani, reflecting on her own sacrifices for Bill, may advise Naomi to “do what’s right for you.” If Naomi ends the pregnancy, expect emotional fallout and a major rift with Jacob.

Beyond the Gates: Joey’s Deadly Plan Spirals as Vanessa Mourns Doug

Fourth prediction: Joey’s patience runs out. Monday spoilers hint Donnell McBride (Alex Cheeks) gets an intriguing offer, while Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) clashes with Nicole. By Tuesday, Vanessa confronts Joey about ending things, and by Wednesday, Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry) receives a shocking kill order.

Joey’s behind Doug’s death, believing it would bring Vanessa closer to him — but instead, she’s grieving and guilt-ridden. Now Joey’s frustrated and reckless, trying to manipulate Darnell while Nicole warns Vanessa to stay away from him. Another hit could be coming — possibly on Marcel Malone (Darryl W. Handy), who knows too much. Expect this storyline to take a dark turn fast.

Ted Protects June from Leslie’s Jealous Rage on BTG

Our final prediction: Ted steps up to defend June. Monday spoilers reveal Leslie warning June, and by Friday, Ted and Nicole are mourning their broken marriage. June recently met Ted at Orphe Jean’s, where sparks flew — though he was just being kind. Still, Ted’s vulnerable, and June’s charm could pull him in.

Leslie’s warning likely stems from jealousy after spotting Ted and June together. She may try to intimidate June or humiliate her in front of Ted. If Ted stands up for June, expect fireworks between him and Leslie. This could mark the start of a new romance — and another classic Beyond the Gates love triangle.

Beyond the Gates gets raw with Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle) and Kat Richardson (Colby Muhammad) fighting over Tomas Navarro (Alex Alegria) who is not worth either of their time. But soon, Eva is going to get a man of her own. And I’m just wondering if Kat is going to come for him to punish Eva.

Beyond the Gates: A Love Triangle No One Asked For

So, I just don’t understand why Kat and Eva are scrapping over Tomas. Two strong, smart, gorgeous women. Fighting over him makes zero sense to me. At least Eva got some O’s out of Tomas, but to me, not worth it. And Kat hasn’t gotten any O’s at all from him. And Tomas actually had the nerve to tell her that the lackluster loving was her fault. Yet Kat still wants the guy back.

But it was pretty clear as she was talking to Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla) that mostly Kat is saying she loves him, trying to justify her ongoing interest because it’s just more that Kat doesn’t want Eva to have Tomas. I mean, Kat should realize Tomas is a big old loser, and it would kind of be a good revenge on Eva to just leave Tomas to her, put that guy in her rear view, and Kat should move on with somebody new and fabulous like she deserves.

Because Tomas showed what weak sauce he is by telling Eva that he used her to make himself feel better when he couldn’t make Kat purr in bed. And then he told Eva he still wants Kat. And of course, I think it’s because Tomas came from nothing and Kat is a princess who is in a social strata above him on Beyond the Gates. Tomas is trying to climb that ladder and Kat is the means to him elevating himself.

New Hunk Alert on BTG

So, good news is, at least for Eva, there is a new hunk coming very soon, and spoilers just came out confirming that he is meant to be Eva’s scene partner and new romantic interest. This new guy is Jacob Hawthorne‘s (Jibre Hordges) brother, Izaiah Hawthorne (David Lami Friebe).

He’s the black sheep son of police chief Elon Hawthorne (Malachi Malik). And showrunner Michelle Valene said that Izaiah got a helping hand from somebody that will surprise us. Maybe it’s going to be Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Maybe it’s going to be sketchy Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom).

So, Izaiah Hawthorne is employed as a university counselor and we’re going to see more of the school because of the introduction of his character. If you remember Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) spends time over there.

We’ve heard him talking about it. Izaiah has been described as cute and sexy. So I’m curious how Eva runs into Izaiah. If it’s going to be getting good food over at Orie Jeans or if it’s going to be grabbing drinks at Uptown or breakfast at the club. We’ll see how that goes.

Beyond the Gates: Kat’s Revenge Looms

But here’s what I’m also wondering. So, Kat walked out of Eva’s apartment big mad after seeing Tomas in a towel. And the thing is, I don’t understand why Kat still wants that fool. Tomas went running after Kat after he got his pants on. And I’m sure Tomas is going to convince Kat to keep him around because if she doesn’t then Eva is going to win by default.

But the thing is it’s not a big win for Kat because Tomas does not ring her bell and he had a really fun time in bed with her sister and Kat knows Eva had a fun time in bed with Tomas. So, all this is going to continue to eat at Kat and it’s still going to be going on by the time Izaiah comes to town.

A Battle for Izaiah on BTG?

So, here’s what else I’m wondering. Once Eva has a hot new love interest of her own, is that going to push Kat over the edge? Because if Tomas and Kat don’t figure out their intimacy issues, then she’s going to still be really dissatisfied and then she’s going to see Eva move on with this sexy new guy, Izaiah. So, will Kat be ready to make a revenge move? Is Kat gonna make a play for Eva’s man, Izaiah?

Here’s what’s crazy. Kat and Eva shouldn’t be fighting over Tomas. He is a liar and he is a cheat. He flat out told Eva that he and Kat were broken up. Tomas said, “There is no me and Kat anymore.” That’s the only reason Eva went to bed with him. She thought he and Kat were over, but she told Tomas, Kat did, we weren’t broken up. We just had an argument.

Beyond the Gates: Who Will Izaiah Choose?

So, I just wonder if Kat takes a look at Tomas and then takes a look at Eva’s new man, Izaiah, and thinks, “You know what? I’m gonna take him from her.” I mean, Kat may assume that she could easily steal Isaiah away from Eva because Kat’s a society darling. She’s got clout, education, and class that Eva doesn’t have. I could definitely see Kat making a move on Izaiah. But I do wonder if he would respond to that nibble.

As a black sheep of the Hawthorne family, Isaiah may want to stick with somebody who understands him. Another black sheep like Eva, cuz she’s definitely the black sheep of the Richardson and Dupree families and I’m sure the family is going to hear that she slept with Kat’s man. Then again, maybe as an outsider, Izaiah would jump at the chance to have somebody gorgeous and clever like Kat on his arm, kind of the way Tomas seems to be doing. So, for those reasons, Izaiah could get involved with Eva, but then walk away from her to get with Kat. If that happens, I just hope Tomas does not come sniffing around Eva, even if Lat steals her new boyfriend Izaiah.

Beyond the Gates: Sisters Before Misters?

So, we’ll see how it goes. What I really hope is that we’re not going to get another Kat and Eva love triangle and all they do is swap Tomas out and substitute in this new hottie Izaiah. I will say no matter who he is, he’s probably an improvement over Tomas the lying cheater. But still, I’d like to see it sisters before misters, but I don’t see it working out that way.

 Beyond the Gates fans, we got to talk about who is Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings)’s secret partner in this pregnancy con because there are some big red flags that dropped this week while she was faking that miscarriage. These red flags hint that her partner in crime could be somebody we’ve already met and that we already know on BTG.

We’re going to get into the stunt Hayley pulled in front of Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) and why we now think a villain already on screen is the one who’s working with Hayley to do bad things to sabotage Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) and also the Duprees.

Beyond the Gates: Hayley’s Fake Pregnancy Con

Hayley really worked overtime this week to sell this fake miscarriage that was going to end her fake pregnancy. First, in front of Bill and his assistant Caroline, we saw Hayley intentionally trip and just full body and face plant slap down on the floor right onto her supposedly pregnant tummy at the office.

That gave Bill a really big scare, and he wanted Hayley to go to the hospital. He was freaking out, but Hayley assured Bill she was fine and blamed a box that was on the floor. So he snapped at Caroline to move that box right now because he was so worried. Hayley was laying groundwork. Then Hayley moved on to phase two of her plan with a big scene at Uptown.

I’m guessing she knew Dani and Pamela Curtis (Cady McClain) were there because that seems to be part of the plan. Hayley kind of bickered with Dani and then went to the bathroom to smear red goop on herself to fake hemorrhaging. Hayley came out screaming and hollering about “my baby, my baby.” Dani bought into it, hook, line, and sinker.

Uncovering Hayley Lawson’s Fake Pregnancy and Miscarriage Scheme on Beyond the Gates

At the same time Hayley was selling her medical drama to Dani, Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) was getting huge hints from Ashley Morgan (Jen Jacob) that the pregnancy was never real. Yes, Hayley is a lying little hussy, but Ashley needs to be fired for what she did on Beyond the Gates.

She absolutely revealed Hayley’s confidential medical information to Bill’s daughter, Naomi. There was no way around it. That’s what she did. Nothing about what Ashley did was okay, and Hayley’s lies don’t justify it. Maybe Hayley will get Ashley fired. We’ll see.

We also know that the other day when Hayley was sitting behind Bill’s desk, she made a phone call to a mystery person. She asked how they were doing and if they needed anything. But who is this mystery conspirator?

Based on some recent hints, there are two huge suspects at Uptown. When Dani was trying to help Hayley and offered to call an ambulance, she was shrieking at Dani, “No, don’t touch me.” Then she decided to take a ride to the hospital with some random dude from the bar who said his name was Sammy.

Beyond the Gates: Hayley Throws Shade?

Only that wasn’t a random dude. That was Joey Armstrong’s (Jon Lindstrom)  ex-flunky Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry). You know, the guy that Doug McBride (Lauren Buglioli) and Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) saved from Joey having him whacked for stealing $10,000 and not killing Kenneth the busboy as he was ordered to.

Hayley left Uptown with Randy, and he later came back for Hayley’s purse. He told Dani that Hayley was taken straight into surgery, which is, of course, a huge fat lie because when Naomi went over to confront Hayley about this fake pregnancy, she was sitting on the couch, not in a post-op recovery room.

That’s when Hayley told Bill she had lost their baby. I’m guessing she’s going to throw shade at Dani for tormenting her after she’d already taken a spill at Bill’s office.

Suspects Behind Hayley’s Pregnancy Conspiracy: Randy, Doug, Joey, and Leslie

So, we’re back to the question: who is the person working with her? Hayley could be doing it alone, but we know she’s clearly not. With Randy being at Uptown taking her away and lying about the hospital, he is obviously part of Hayley’s plot. But the question is, is Randy actually her secret partner, or is he working for Hayley’s real partner?

One reason to think Randy might be her actual secret partner is that he was supposed to be lying low and avoiding Joey Armstrong so that he wouldn’t get killed. When Hayley made that phone call, she was like, “How are you doing? Do you need anything?” It sounded like she was talking to somebody who might be in hiding. Maybe it’s just Hayley and Randy in this. Maybe they are secret siblings or something.

Beyond the Gates: Doug the Secret Partner?

We also have to ask if Doug could be part of Hayley’s plot. We know Doug needed money because of his gambling addiction. And we know Doug doesn’t like Bill, and maybe Hayley was paying Doug to help her with her scheme because he’s a doctor, and that’s how Randy got roped into it.

Hayley might have been looking to Doug to help her pull off the medical part of her fake pregnancy and miscarriage plot. I don’t even know what Vanessa’s husband is capable of because he has very poor self-control and doesn’t make great life choices. So, sure, he could be plotting with Hayley.

Maybe Doug is the partner, and he got Randy involved. However, a more intriguing option could be that Hayley’s secret partner is Joey Armstrong. He might be looking for payback on Bill or to get some kind of leverage on him. Joey might have a grudge against Bill because Bill has dirt on Joey since he’s helped clean up messes.

He’s a professional fixer. There could be some sort of side deal between Hayley and Joey for other reasons. Joey likes hot younger women. Maybe Hayley is one of his secret squeezes, and she’s doing an undercover plot for Joey to undermine Bill and ruin his life.

Beyond the Gates: Hayley Out to Destroy Bill?

Hayley destroyed Bill’s marriage, then married him, and got Bill excited about having a baby. This miscarriage might be to not only make Dani look bad but also to crush Bill and disappoint him. Randy was Joey’s minion, so that’s why I was thinking maybe Hayley’s working with Joey.

But Randy ran off scared that Joey would kill him, which is a point against Joey being her secret partner. Randy is definitely in the mix, though, so he could be conspiring with Hayley for some other reason. That leads me to the last suspect on my list: Dana “Leslie” Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant). I wonder if Leslie could be working with Hayley because she’s looking for payback on Bill also.

Leslie and Hayley have talked in public, and it didn’t look like it went well, but that might have just been a setup so that if anybody saw them together, they would see Hayley rejecting her and telling her to go away so nobody would think they were working together.

Beyond the Gates: Leslie’s Revenge on Bill?

Since Bill told Leslie she had to have an abortion when she was pregnant with Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle), there could be a link between Leslie and Hayley. This whole miscarriage thing to end a pregnancy of Bill’s might be revenge for that. Leslie and Hayley might be family.

Leslie was gold digging with Dr. Ted Richardson (Maurice Johnson), and now Hayley’s doing the same with Bill. It’d be interesting if Hayley was either Leslie’s younger sister or Leslie’s firstborn daughter. I don’t think Eva knows who Hayley is other than her being with Bill.

But it would be very interesting if she was actually family to Eva and Leslie was involved in this. We know Bill is on Leslie’s enemy list for how he treated her when she was pregnant, and this could be the ultimate payback.

Beyond the Gates prediction edition is here! We’re going to talk about Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix) targeting Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) and Dr. Doug McBride (Jason Graham) having a death wish. There are predictions for Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle), Dr. Ted Richardson (Maurice Johnson) and Nicole, for Doug and Joey Armstrong, for Nicole and Danny, for Nicole, Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) and Ashley Morgan (Jen Jacob), and also for Dana “Leslie” Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant). As always, our predictions are based on official spoilers and we’re just discussing where these exciting story lines may go.

Eva’s Matchmaking Scheme: Will She Reunite Ted and Nicole on Beyond the Gates?

So, our very first prediction is that it’s going to be Eva who plays matchmaker and reunites Ted and Nicole. So, on Monday, we have a spoiler of Eva getting strength and support from someone unlikely. And I just wonder if it could possibly be Nicole. On Thursday, Eva has her first day working for her daddy Ted, running his office up at the hospital. So, we all know Eva feels really guilty about wrecking Ted’s and Nicole’s marriage. Her psycho mom Leslie has been, you know, gaslighting her pretty much since Eva was born about her dad Ted not wanting her and Nicole being the reason why he wasn’t in her life.

And of course, it was just all insane Leslie fiction. So now Eva is trying to be accountable for her mistakes. Ted has embraced her since he feels bad for missing out on Eva’s entire life. And she’s also been trying to make amends by helping out Lara, who’s back to work at Nicole’s home office. and Eva has been dropping by to show her things whenever Laura gets stuck. However, Nicole was very clear to Eva that she better not be thinking that helping out Laura means she can just drop by the house. Eva accepted all the anger she owns that she deserves it. But we also know from Nicole’s conversations with other people that it’s Leslie she mostly blames, not her daughter.

So, with Eva working for Ted at the hospital, Nicole is going to be seeing her stepdaughter a lot. And the main issue that Nicole has with Eva is that Leslie is an ongoing part in her life who is a monster. So if Leslie’s terrible mom leaves town or Eva cuts her out of her life, that may soften up Nicole. And even if she never accepts Eva, I do think Ted’s daughter is going to try to help him win back Nicole because Eva feels to blame for wrecking his life and their marriage.

Beyond the Gates: Nicole’s Fury – Will Danny’s Miscarriage Accusation Ignite a Sisterly Feud?

Second prediction, Nicole’s upset at Dai’s miscarriage fake accusation. So on Monday, Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) and Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) are facing off. This is likely about the Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) mess. Bill cannot handle the stress right now after this stroke and him getting back involved in this mess may really worry Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings).

And on Tuesday, Dani has a heart-to-heart with Bill and she’s been very involved since his stroke. And then also next week in the promo, Dani is with Ashley. So next week we’ve got pregnant Hayley having severe abdominal pains. That is confirmed. And it could be, you know, standard pregnancy just aches and pains, even sharp shooting pains. It could be pregnancy complications. It could be a real high-risisk situation because the stress of Bill’s stroke or just worrying about him is too much for Hayley. I will say if she’s running a long con on Bill, she’s very convincing. I just don’t think she is.

And so in the promo, we’ve got Dani up at the hospital dishing with nurse Ashley. Dani saying Hayley faked the pregnancy, is faking a miscarriage, and wants to blame it on Dani for losing her fake baby. And that conversation’s happening up at the hospital. So, I wonder if Nicole overhears it. And remember, Dani is on Nicole’s poop list already for sleeping with Andre.

And Nicole is probably very sensitive on the subject of miscarriages. Cuz if you remember, Ted was cheating with Leslie when Nicole kept going through miscarriages trying to get pregnant with Katherine “Kat Richardson” (Colby Muhammad). So, I just don’t think Nicole is going to respond well if she hears Dani dismissing another woman’s possible miscarriage as a scheme, especially not if Nicole peaks at Hayley’s records and sees that this is the real deal. This could actually drive the sisters further apart. And it ties into my next prediction.

Beyond the Gates: Romantic Sabotage – Will Nicole Push Andre Towards Ashley?

So, third prediction, Nicole pushes Andre at Ashley. On Wednesday, Nicole lays into Andre according to official spoilers. And Thursday’s spoilers say Ashley and Andre discuss options. So last week, Dani faced some blistering anger from Nicole when she found out her sister was sleeping with her, you know, non-blood related nephew. But Dani insisting that she and Andre didn’t have a blood tie really didn’t help the case much because she, you know, has known him since he was a baby.

So you may remember Nicole also knows about Andre’s crush on Ashley. Now, Nicole had previously advised Andre not to go chasing her because Ashley was happily dating Derek Baldwin (Ben Gavin), but now Nicole is icked out by Andre hooking up with her sister.

That’s why she chews him out this week. And Nicole may notice Andre and Ashley’s heads together at the hospital this week. Plus, everybody at the hospital knows each other’s business, which means Nicole knows that Ashley got dumped by Derek. So, I’m just wondering if Nicole will sabotage Dani’s romance with Andre by pointing him at Ashley, the woman he has wanted for so long.

Nicole may think Dani will get over it and that it’s a less ick option for the Dupree family than Andre boinking his sort of surrogate aunt. The Dupree do not need any more bad press. And Dani and Andre going fully public would be very sketchy press.

Leslie’s Desperate Plea: Will She Evade Arrest by Fleeing Town?

Our fourth prediction, Leslie offers to leave town to avoid arrest. So, Monday spoilers have Leslie approaching Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Kat with this idea she’s got. She’s desperate to stay out of prison. Obviously, on Friday, Leslie is trying to set things right with Eva, and those are both confirmed spoilers. So, we know Kat got Leslie’s DNA off a napkin with some help from Mona. And now Kat and Jacob are just waiting to get the test results back to prove that Leslie’s DNA is inside the helmet that was seen on the video on the motorcycle rider at Laura’s not so accident scene.

As crazy as Leslie is, she’s no fool. She knows the walls are closing in on her. That’s why I suspect she goes to Kat and Jacob. Maybe Leslie is going to try to bargain with them to avoid arrest for running Lara off the road. Leslie may offer to leave town quietly, never bother Ted and Nicole again if they drop the investigation. I mean, honestly, I don’t trust Leslie, but at the same time, I would hate to see her go because she is an insanely fun villain to watch. We’ll see, though, because it looks like Jacob and Kat have Leslie on the ropes and she could be arrested soon. However, Nicole really thinks that Ted’s other woman is going to slither her way out of facing criminal charges for almost killing Laura on Beyond the Gates.

Doug’s Downfall: Will Jealousy Lead to a Fatal Confrontation with Joey?

Our fifth and final prediction. Doug is in danger and jealousy may override his sanity. So, when it comes to this situation with his gambling debt to Joey, right now we’re seeing Doug insanely jealous that Joey is doing the deed with Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli). Not just real estate deeds. Joey and Vanessa are using to launder money, but they are banging all over that casino. Joey is banging Doug’s wife every chance he gets. He isn’t even trying to hide it.

He’s basically rubbing it in his face. And let’s be real, you know, Vanessa and Doug’s marriage was pretty bizarre before leather jacket Joey slimed his way into their setup. Doug was a gambling addict. Vanessa, I feel like, is a sex addict who’s so thirsty for constant attention that she’s not getting from Doug. And Vanessa was just too busy getting freaky with randos to notice that her husband Doug was on a serious spiral into gambling and debt. And the thing is though, I don’t think Vanessa and Doug can fix their marriage because now Joey is part of it after entrapping Doug into a huge pile of debt.

Beyond the Gates: Doug Won’t Back Down?

And let’s be real, Vanessa likes the danger from creepy Joey. But Doug is getting saltier by the day. He was basically shaming his wife last week. And Vanessa clapped back that he’s the one that got him into this mess with Joey. But I still don’t think Doug’s going to take this lying down, even though Vanessa is more than willing to take it lying down from Joey.

So, you know, Doug’s got terrible impulse control problem as an addict, but it was one thing to know Vanessa was betting random guys, but this is somebody who Doug sees often who has pulled something on them. I just suspect that he may get aggressive with Joey. Doug may try and throw down an ultimatum and stop this the sexual part of the relationship between Vanessa and Joey. I don’t think the gangster is going to like that. And Doug may have a death wish if he pushes too hard on Joey.

Beyond the Gates spoilers for June 16-20, 2025 see Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings) getting some props and Dana ‘Leslie’ Thomas (Trisha Mann) scrambling.

Chelsea’s mind is distracted by thoughts of Madison while Kat is trying to talk business.

Eva’s mom is crying about Eva not loving her. Eva reassures her mom and tells Leslie she’d never hurt her. After Eva takes off, Leslie is suddenly in better spirits on Beyond the Gates. Maybe she thought of some new, wicked, warped way to try and get out of this mess. She’s clearly scrambling.
