Beyond the Gates early weekly spoilers for June 22nd through the 26th thrill with Kat Richardson (Colby Muhammad) in a horrible dilemma because everybody is pressuring her to get tested and cough up a chunk of her liver to save her problematic sister, Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle).
We’ll get into all the action coming the week starting June 22nd when we may also see one marriage end and possibly two. And as we do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then we get into the action coming next week, which is when July sweeps kicks off.
Beyond the Gates: Kat’s Liver Donation Dilemma
So, let’s get into it. On Thursday, June 18th, we’ve got Carlton Fitzgerald (Robert Christopher Riley) showing up to alert Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnée Duplaix) to an urgent matter. So, her phone may be off. Obviously, Carlton’s going to find out that Eva is lying at death’s door and that Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson) is distraught and that Nicole’s daughter, Kat, is refusing to even get tested. She doesn’t even want to see or know if she’s a match for her dying sister, Eva.
I’m very interested to see if Carlton shows up at Nicole’s door. Since Kial Rollins (Greg Vaughan) is warming her sheets right now, remember he came over to comfort Nicole. And while she has always told both Kial and Carlton that she is not looking for anything serious, I have to say that what happened between her and Kial was very emotionally intimate.
So, if Carlton shows up and sees Kyle rolling out of Nicole’s bed, I think that is definitely going to bother Carlton understandably. And of course, Nicole’s going to want to go check on Ted. But I think Kat is who really needs her mom right now. I know fans are deeply divided and they hate that Eva’s accident put Kat in this position.
Beyond the Gates: Andre Supports Izaiah
We also have Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) showing up to be there for Izaiah Hawthorne (David Lami Friebe). Already, Andre tried to get up off the couch and hobble to the hospital once he heard about Eva. But then Andre found out that because of the medications that he’s on for his own injury, he is not a viable liver donor. But I can see him having wanted to get tested because he’s related to Eva and he’s friends with her.
And in fact, everybody but Kat has been willing to get tested in the family, especially Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) is frustrated with her. They see her hatred of Eva as a sign that she’s willing to let her sister die. But I did think that Kat did well by clapping back about Eva helping cover up for Dana “Leslie” Thomas (Trisha Mann), who tried to kill Laura Peterson (Destiny Love) twice and who deliberately ripped their family apart with help from Eva.
The Elevator Secret and Family Pressure on BTG
Even though she feels bad about it in hindsight, she was right there in the thick of it. It’s messy. But if Andre can’t donate a chunk of his liver, at least he can be there for Izaiah, who loves Eva and is totally distraught. We also have Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) confronting Bill. If you remember, after they did their elevator sex thing, Dani swore Bill to secrecy. And so far, it is still a secret. But it could be out by the end of this week or into next week when sweeps kicks off.
Eva’s time is rapidly running out. Everybody but Kat has pretty much been tested who’s a relative and who’s viable. And Leslie’s in a panic. But at least Eva is on the public donor registry. But in the end, I think we all know it is going to come down to Kat. And speaking of her, she runs to Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla), who listens as Kat explains herself.
Chelsea’s not a big fan of Kat’s hatred of Eva. And I tend to think that Chelsea will prod Kat in the direction of at least getting tested to find out, you know, because that seems to be a next step. Looks like she is getting tested by the end of the week because of other spoilers that I’m about to share with you.
Beyond the Gates: Family Comes Together and Marriage Troubles
On Friday, June 19th, Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings) and Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) find some common ground, which is surprising. And this may be sympathy for what Ted’s family is going through with Eva and the aftermath of the terrifying tornado. Or it could be about what’s going on with Dani and Bill because that bombshell is going to explode soon.
We’ve got Andre and Bill locking horns by the end of this week. And if Andre hears from Bill about the elevator cheating with Dani, I think Andre is going to be really hurt rather than if Danny told him herself. If she explained the life and death weirdness of it all as a one-off thing, I think that would be better.
Also, the Hawthornes come together for one of their own with Izaiah panicking over Eva’s ticking clock. I expect Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges), Elon Hawthorne (Malachi Malik), and even his mom, Darlene Hawthorne (Monique Mosee), to show up for Isaiah. Hopefully, Leslie will keep a civil tongue in her mouth if Darlene shows up at Garland Memorial.
Kat’s Huge News on BTG
Also, Kat’s life-changing news, and that could be that she’s a match, or it could be that Ted tells her that Eva will die in the next 24 hours without a transplant. There’s going to be some urgency. Ted may beg Kat again to please help her sister. Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) has advice for Kat.
I’m sure Anita is the voice of reason, asking Kat, “As much as you hate Eva and hate Leslie, could you live with yourself if Eva died when you might have been able to save her?” It’s not a fair situation at all for Kat to be in. But that is what makes it oh so soapy, as we know.
Leslie gets good news that’s then snatched away. So, they may find out there’s a donor available for Eva, maybe from the public registry. But then it turns out it’s not viable or there’s a complication. We all know it’s going to come down to Kat.
Beyond the Gates: July Sweeps and Marriage Implosions
The week of June 22nd through the 26th, we’ve got July sweeps kicking off on Thursday, June 25th. So, I think the transplant drama is going to drag out until then. This is clearly supposed to be a redemption story for Leslie when honestly she’s irredeemable. But something to break through her awful, devious nature. But I’m honestly not sure if Eva’s mom is capable of change. She is wicked to the bone. But right now, Leslie’s falling apart and vulnerable. And when faced with Eva’s inevitable death, Leslie’s going to break.
Meanwhile, with the clock running out, Kat’s definitely going to get tested. No doubt she’s going to be a match. But then there’s the step of will she let them cut her open and take a chunk out of her liver to save Eva. In terms of organ donation, you would think that donating part of an organ is better than a whole one, like a liver versus a kidney. But in terms of surgical risk and recovery and potential complications, donating part of your liver is actually more dangerous than giving up a whole kidney. Weird, right?
Beyond the Gates: Kat & Ava Bond as Sisters
So, Kat would literally be putting her own life on the line to save Eva. But in the end, I’m certain she’ll do it. And this is going to be a road to Kat and Eva bonding as sisters because she will literally owe Kat her life. I don’t expect an easy road. And I think Eva should do the heavy lifting. Also, Leslie may find some chill if Kat saves her precious Eva.
But there’s other family drama afoot in sweeps. I don’t think that Heather Armstrong (Ashley Jones) really left town. And I think she’s setting up shop again nearby, right under Joey Armstrong’s (Jon Lindstrom) nose. And Heather seems honestly even more ruthless than Joey and not the type to go away quietly. Plus, they cast somebody who’s a big name from Bold and the Beautiful. She’s been on a lot of other stuff. So, with them bringing in Ashley Jones, I don’t think it’s going to be a couple of episodes and she’s gone.
Beyond the Gates: Dani May Lose Andre
We also have the impending implosion of Dani and Andre’s marriage which could trigger Bill and Haley’s marriage to fall apart. So, Andre may walk out on Dani over this Bill thing and run back to his bachelor pad. And the timing on that could be problematic because Ashley is single and grieving and Andre may turn to Ashley for comfort.
The Duprees will rally around Kat for her heroic donation. And I actually hope that she demands some concessions from Leslie before she agrees to donate. Like she’s got to stop the chow crap. Stop stalking Ted. Stop being horrible to Nicole. Basically, a chunk of liver donated if Leslie agrees to stop being Leslie. We’ll see how it goes.
