Howdy Watchers,
As you know, we have been covering Beyond the Gates (BTG) since it's premier, but you've mainly heard from us- Ms. Semi, JJ and Mrs. Ashly. You've also heard from Mo_Rease, but you hadn't heard from Watch With You co-host Lady D, nor Queen Melmendi and soap newbie Fade to Black. Well, you are going to hear from them in this episode. And stay tuned, because we have feedback from other fans coming in the next episode. But wait, there's more! If you are a fan of #BTG and have something to share, shoot us a voicemail at [email protected] by October 30, 2025.
