Beyond The Gates

Bonita Brisker (Sharon): Members of The Articulettes continue to air this week as they, along with Anita (Tamara Tunie), work on making peace and consider staging a comeback.

Maria Howell (Tracy): This Beyond The Gates character is also sticking around and will be there to remind her two friends that their sisterhood goes way back — and to voice her belief that they can recapture that feeling again.

Indeed, she has already resumed filming and will begin airing in July. The soap has not specified if she will be playing Britt or a new character. In 2022, Thiebaud took home a Daytime Emmy in the Outstanding Supporting Actress category and was nominated again the following year. On her Instagram account, Thiebaud wrote of her return, “To get the chance to do it all again, and do it better than before, I will forever be grateful to ABC, [Executive Producer] Frank Valentini and all of my @generalhospitalabc family 💗.” On TikTok, the actress posted a video to fans hinting at what she called “a wild ride” upon her return; learn more about that here.

He figures prominently in the mystery surrounding the secret the character is harboring.

Industry News

A Bold Move: After 38 years of calling Television City home, B&B is relocating. According to Deadline, the move is prompted by a multi-year, billion-dollar renovation and expansion project at the historic studio. Beginning August 19, following its summer hiatus, the show will resume production at Sunset Las Palmas Studios. The relocation comes as B&B’s lease nears its end — a factor that has also prompted other shows to shift locations recently. Y&R, which also films at Television City, still has several years remaining on its lease and currently has no plans to move.

Meet and Greet: Young and Restless will be holding its annual fan club event on August 16 in Burbank, California. For more information, email theyoungandtherestlessfanclub@gmail.com.
