‘Beyond the Gates’ Fans ‘Irritated’ Over Rerun Week: ‘Something Is Amiss’ originally appeared on Parade.
Four months after Beyond the Gates made history on CBS, the soap is taking a week-long break from new episodes. CBS has opted to re-air the premiere week episodes of Beyond the Gates during the Fourth of July holiday week.
However, The Young and the Restlessand The Bold and the Beautiful will have a full week of new episodes, even on Friday, July 4. As Parade reported, Beyond the Gates creator Michele Val Jean spoke out on the subject but gave very little insight into the decision.
Social media was on fire after news broke that Beyond the Gates will air reruns while Bold and Y&R air new shows. Fans took to X to take aim at CBS over the decision.
“@CBS WHAT is wrong with y’all, seriously? Why can’t the hour ever be 12:30-1:30? No one cares about #YR anymore anyway! 🤬😡#BeyondTheGates,” read an X. Another X declared, “#yr and #boldandbeautiful don’t get preempted @cbs but come black soap #beyondthegates get repeat not fair at all cbs.”
A different fan wrote on X, “Y&R and B&B airing new episodes next week but #BeyondTheGates airing repeats isn’t sitting right in my spirit.” One fan asked, “Peeps let me at holler at yall. Since CBS playing in our faces are we watching YR and BB next week or nah #BeyondTheGates.”
“I’m irritated as H–L that #BeyondTheGates isn’t new next week, but Friday’s a holiday and it’s summertime. This is actually the perfect time reel in some new viewers with repairing premiere week. H–l, I may even still watch 🤷🏽♂️,” expressed a fan.
One X insisted, “In my 52 years of watching soap operas, I have never heard of a soap being preempted for an entire week for no good reason.”
Another fan stated, “This doesn’t pass the smell test, y’all. Something is amiss at CBS. We aren’t being told the whole story. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there’s some big shakeup happening behind the scenes… #BeyondTheGates #BTG #BeyondTheGatesCBS.”
“#BeyondTheGates I’m still not understanding next week’s preemption. It’s not like they’re preempting for something like March Madness or the Olympics. I am confusion,” read an X.
Not all fans expressed their outrage. One fan took to X to admit they would be watching the rerun week to keep Beyond the Gates’ ratings up.
New episodes of Beyond the Gates will return on Monday, July 7.
Beyond the Gates airs weekdays on CBS.
