‘Beyond the Gates’ makes MAJOR cast change! CBS ‘Beyond the Gates’
The host welcomed viewers back and said there was exciting casting news for Beyond the Gates. They reminded listeners that many fans had been watching since season one, episode one. CBS announced new changes and actor Lamy also shared the news on Instagram. On Wednesday, April 8th, viewers noticed a new face in the opening credits. That face was Lamy, who plays Isaiah Hawthorne. The host confirmed that Lamy had been promoted from recurring status. He is now a series regular and a contracted actor on the show. The host explained that only contracted actors appear in the opening credits. They compared it to Ben Gavin, who had previously been moved from regular to recurring status. The host noted that Ben had not been seen much on screen lately.
The host then read Lamy’s social media post word for word. Lamy said seeing himself in the opening credits was a dream come true. He never imagined joining the main cast of a successful daytime soap. He praised the show for breaking barriers and airing daily on a major network. Lamy said he once thought music and drumming would be his future. When he started acting, he had no idea where it would lead. He enjoyed discovering something new and working hard to improve. He called landing a major role on a new soap incredible. He said even getting the audition already felt like a victory. Lamy also praised his wife for helping with self-tapes and supporting his career.
Lamy continued by thanking his family for constant encouragement and sacrifice. He said their immigrant journey made his success even more meaningful. He added that he does it all for them. He also thanked the show’s cast, crew, and his agent. The host mentioned that one viewer had predicted this change in the comments. They tried to screenshot that comment but accidentally deleted it. The conversation then shifted to actress Marquita Goings, who plays Hayley. Some fans noticed that she had not appeared in the opening credits. The host checked and said CBS had made no announcement about her status. They added that no statement had come from the actress either.
The host said that absence from the credits does not automatically mean demotion. They noted she could return to the credits later or remain under contract. Still, the host said some fans would not be surprised by a reduced role. They gave their opinion that the actress had struggled in the part since day one. They said they only judge performances on Beyond the Gates, not past work. The host felt the role or fit simply had not worked well. They added that Hayley’s storyline also seems to be winding down. If the character goes to jail or is killed off, it would explain changes. The host also mentioned Tomas as another actor who might be replaceable despite improvement. They ended by asking viewers to share thoughts on Lamy’s promotion and other casting possibilities.
