With the show’s debut episode featuring a cameo appearance by “The Real Housewives of Potomac” star Karen Huger, “Beyond the Gates” will see other stars from the hit Bravo reality series following in her footsteps, at least from an acting perspective.
During an appearance on the Friday, July 25 broadcast of WKRC Local 12 News, Daphnée Duplaix, who portrays Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson, announced Wendy Osefo and Gizelle Bryant are set to appear later this fall on the CBS daytime drama series.

“It’s going to be great because it brings authenticity to the setting of Fairmont Crest, and so I think it’s going to be fun for the fans. And that’s going to be in the fall, so it’s not too far away,” said Duplaix to news anchor Aleah Hordges, who is the real-life sister of actor Jibre Hordges, who plays Jacob Hawthorne on the soap opera.
Duplaix was joined by her “Beyond the Gates” co-stars Keith D. Robinson (Dr. Ted Richardson) and Colby Muhammad (Katherine “Kat” Richardson) as they were in town for the Cincinnati Music Festival and a panel discussion presented by Procter & Gamble, which co-produces the show alongside CBS Studios and the NAACP.
There were no additional details available at press time on Osefo and Bryant’s upcoming appearance on the series.
While appearing in the April 27, 2025 episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Bryant spoke with host Andy Cohen, sharing an update on Huger, who is currently serving a one-year prison sentence after she was found guilty of multiple charges including DUI and DWI stemming from a March 2024 single-car accident in Maryland, saying she is “running” things.
“I have been in contact with someone who is very close to her about her safety and all that,” Bryant said to Cohen. “And from what I understand, they love her up in where she is right now. They absolutely love her. They are loving the Grande Dame. You know she is running that thing.” She added, “I feel very good about the fact that she’s safe.”
