Beyond the Gates
BEYOND THE GATES: Dani Figures Out Hayley’s Been Trying to Kill Bill as All the Pieces Come Together
In a pivotal episode of Beyond the Gates, the Monday, September 21 edition had the proverbial lightbulb go on in Dani’s (Karla Mosley) head, and not a moment too soon.
One thing the CBS daytime drama has done exceptionally well since its inception is deliver when the stakes are high. Now the stage is set for Hayley’s (Marquita Goings) house of cards to come tumbling down around her, but will it?
Here’s what went down: in the pick-up from the Friday, September 18 cliffhanger, Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) shows up at his ex-wife Dani’s front door, telling her he thinks he is dying. At first, Dani thinks it’s just Bill manipulating her again, when she has fought so hard to keep her distance from him, especially after their sex in an elevator during the tornado. But no matter what each of them says or does, their pull towards each other remains stronger than ever.
Now, Bill explains to Dani he passed out again and he keeps having seizures, even after he left the hospital. He goes on to say how Hayley (Marquita Goings) has been making salads and smoothies for him, because he couldn’t stand the herbal tea she was serving him.

RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL
As they are talking, Dani notices Bill’s hands shaking with tremors and suddenly becomes very concerned, and shortly after that, Bill is having a seizure and unable to talk and passing out. Dani calls 9-1-1. Once at Garland Memorial Hospital, Dani comes through the elevator in tears as her sister, Nicole (Daphnee Duplaix) is there, and she asks her sister not to lecture her about being by Bill’s side, not now.
When they get Bill stabilized and into a hospital room, Dani goes to see him. He tells her the last thing he recalled was them talking at “our” house. Dani says that they need to let Hayley know that he is in the hospital. However, Bill doesn’t want Hayley to see him like this for fear this will look like a sign of weakness. He tells Dani he thinks if she saw him, it would push her further towards Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).
Next, Dani texts Nicole telling her that she does not want her or Ted (Keith D. Robinson) to tell anyone about Bill’s hospitalization including Hayley or Andre (Sean Freeman). When Bill admits to Dani that she is the only person he trusts and that she is his “rock,” Dani lets her guard down again and decides to sit with him in his room.
THE MOMENT OF TRUTH
Later, when Madison (Kenjah) comes to check on Bill, Dani leaves the room and heads to the hallway. Suddenly, she stops in her tracks as she hears Bill’s words back in her head, where he talks about the diet Hayley has been serving him, how she continues to make sure he does his cardio every day, and that he even made her a beneficiary on his life insurance policy he recently took out as his condition worsened. Suddenly, it all clicks for Dani, and she says out loud, “Hayley, you conniving bitch! You did this!”

ANDRE MAKES A VISIT
Meanwhile, the dissolution of Dani and Andre’s marriage may crumble sooner than you think! While Dani is off trying to figure out how Hayley is trying to kill bill, Heather Armstrong (Ashley Jones) continues to purr to get Andre back in her bed.
Heather is excited that Andre texted her wanting to see her again. When Andre shows up at her hotel room, he explains he wanted to talk to her about the kiss they shared and that he got caught up in the moment, but he is a happily married man to Dani.
Seeing how out of sorts Andre is about the whole thing, Heather realizes Andre is afraid of he, and what she might do. She promises that she wouldn’t destroy his “manufactured” marriage to Dani. In fact, she is very self-assured that Andre would come back to her all on his own because domestic life is truly not his thing and he lives for the thrill of it all.
When Andre tells her she shouldn’t hold her breath, Heather snipes, “We’ll see who you end up holding!” With that, he makes his exit, but it’s clear he is rattled by Heather’s comments.
Check out the moment that Dani puts two and two together in the dramatic cliffhanger from Monday’s Beyond the Gates below.
Now let us know, are you rooting for Bill and Dani to get back together, once Dani is armed with proof that Hayley has been trying to kill her ex? Do you think the two of them will set a trap to bring Hayley down? How long will it be before Andre turns to Heather, or she blackmails him into her bed? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.
Nicole sees the pattern with Dani and knows what’s ahead. Bill is vulnerable right now, but Bill will always be Bill.
I like the characters but ready for Haley to be gone, that Bill and Dani will get back together
Bill will always be an arrogant lech. It’s reasonable for Dani to help him get to the bottom of his poisoning. But, how often has Dani been humiliated by Bill’s constant infidelity? Dani has finally broken an unhealthy life pattern and should stay with her very sweet and devoted husband, Andre. Bill can hook up with that snake Leslie.
“Only alibi’s and fake surprise”… thank you Basia. How often has Bill collapsed? What if Randy deliberately gave Hailey a placebo and Bill really is sick? 1) That vial is useless but still has to be explained…”It’s concealed in yo bra bish”. 2) Tomas gets Hailey of the hook(AWKWARD) And now the story continues. Can Bill get rid? Can Dani get him back? Can Heather get Andre? Uh oh… does Hailey really love Bill now. Randy? Who cares. He hits on Martin and Main his back oooo…Oh my days.
It’s about time someone opens their eyes to the obvious poisoning.
Does anyone else think Caroline has a thing for Bill? Could be my imagination.
Lewis, I don’t think Caroline has the hots for Bill. I believe she is just a dedicated worker. However, I hope to see sparks between them when poison Hayley is unmasked and Bill needs support recovering from his stupidity. Dani is committed to Andre and unavailable.

EMOTIONS RAN HIGH
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series went to The Bold and the Beautiful’s Scott Clifton, who won his fourth Emmy overall and second in Lead for his touching performances as Liam Spencer during Liam’s medical crisis storyline for an inoperable brain tumor, which turned out to be a ruse.
During his acceptance speech, Clifton shared, “This means so much to me, not the thing, the attaboy from my peers. I can think of few things that bring me more joy than that.”
Speaking on his fellow nominees which included the likes of Y&R’s Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) and GH’s Steve Burton, (Jason Morgan) Clifton said, “I am in awe of all of you, and you’ve taught me so much. It was a really hard year, and you made me invincible. You are my existential oxygen tank. And I don’t know what I would do without you. I love you, and I am grateful to you.
DECADES BETWEEN
In the Outstanding Supporting Actor and Actress categories, two longtime names synonymous with daytime drama, Roger Howarth (Matt Clark, Y&R) and Beth Maitland (Traci Abbott, Y&R) won their second Emmys in their career. Roger 32 years after his last Emmy playing Todd Manning on One Life to Live in 1994, and Beth Maitland for winning 41 years after becoming Y&R’s first performer to win Emmy gold back in 1985.
General Hospital executive producer, Frank Valentini and his producing team took home the gold for the sixth year in a row for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series for the ABC soap. He later shared a moment with Scott Clifton, who started his daytime career as Dillon Quartermaine on GH.
During the ceremonies, the iconic Genie Francis (Laura, General Hospital) was presented with the Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award by her husband actor and director, Jonathan Frakes. After Francis received the award she posed for some snaps for the photographers in attendance.
