Although a specific air date had not been announced at press time, a newly released promo for “Beyond the Gates” reveals that actor Bryton James will be taking his character from “The Young and the Restless” from Genoa City to Fairmont Crest, at least temporarily.
“Articulette’s concert, more Dani drama (obvs), and a Devon Winters sighting in Fairmont Crest?!!!!!!!! This looks like a WEEK, y’all!” teased “Beyond the Gates” star Karla Mosley (Dani Dupree), who shared the promo on Instagram, noting James would likely be appearing as Devon during this week’s episodes of the series.
In the promo, James can be seen entering the dining area of the Fairmont Crest Country Club, preparing to shake hands with Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) as Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) says to him, “Devon, Welcome to Fairmont Crest!”
In a separate promo released last week, it was revealed that the Articulette’s would be performing for the first time together in decades. With Devon having experience as a music promoter, it makes sense that he would be there to help promote the concert.
In story, the Articulette’s, composed of Anita (Tunie), Sharon (Bonita Brisker) and Tracy (Maria Howell), were a Chicago-based girl group from the ’70s that disbanded over misunderstandings and animosity between its members. In recent months, the group reunited and came to an understanding of what happened in the past. To right some wrongs, they agreed that a reunion performance was something they should consider, and in recent weeks, they’ve been preparing for their big night.
With James’ appearance, this marks the first-ever crossover to take place between “Beyond the Gates” and one of its CBS soap siblings, and confirms that the three CBS soaps (including “The Bold and the Beautiful”) likely exist in the same universe, something fans had long wondered since the early days of development for the new daytime soap.
