Beyond the Gates
āBeyond the Gatesā Emmy Winner Ambyr Michelle Wants to Compete on āDancing with the Starsā: āPick Meā (Exclusive)
Soap opera fans are always clamoring for when Dancing with the Stars reveals their cast each season, that they would include a familiar face from daytime drama, but it rarely happens, if ever, anymore.
Over the last several years, the series has leaned heavily into casting celebrities with massive TikTok or Instagram followers, which in turn, have helped this season and last have their best ratings numbers in years.
But, how about for next season’s cast of Dancing with the Stars, that it could include newly-awarded Daytime Emmy winner, Ambyr Michelle (Eva Thomas) of Beyond the Gates?

LOVE OF DANCE TO LOVE OF ACTING
Michael Fairman TV spoke to Michelle about her dance background and if she would love a shot at lifting the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy during Wednesday’s November 11, livestream chat on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Ambyr explained to fans (who joined in on the live chat), how she began her show business career. “I started off as a dancer, first and foremost. Acting wasn’t really something I wanted to go after. I did plays when I was younger, but it was just something we did in school, but I really wanted to be a dancer. I moved out to LA to dance, and I fell out of love with dance, which was so weird.”
This year’s Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series winner, added, “I was like, ‘What is going on?’ I moved all the way out here for dance. I found I was forcing myself to go to dance class, and I just didn’t have the passion for it. I was working at this restaurant at the time, and one of my coworker was like, ‘What about taking an acting class out here?'”
Next, Ambyr took the coworker up on the idea. “So, I took an acting class and I fell in love with it that day,” shared Michelle. “I was like, ‘I want to do this for the rest of my life.’ I thought, I would love to book a role, of course, as a dancer, but I think acting has a little bit more longevity.”

A SHOT AT THE LEN GOODMAN MIRRORBALL TROPHY
When the talked turned to if Ambyr would consider or be interested in appearing on the ballroom dance competition series, she piped up with, “I would love to do Dancing with the Stars! Pick me!”
As those in the live chat rallied around this idea, it made us think, Ambyr could be the first contestant from Beyond the Gates, and someone representing the soaps. It checks off so many boxes! To which Ambyr replied, “That would be beautiful.”
You can check out the full conversation with Ambyr below.
So, what do you think soap fans? Can we make sure Ambyr’s name gets in front of the producers and casting director for next season’s Dancing with the Stars? Would you like to see her in the competition? If so, who would be your dream pro professional dance partner for her? Let us know in the comment section.

Looking forward seeing them back together,can’t wait to see what happens with them.
I’m thrilled at seeing the onscreen lovebirds paired once again. There is something so special about TnB. They’ve always managed to capture my attention with their beauty, sincerity, rawness and vulnerability. A Golden love story that has span over a decade. True acting soul mates. š
Agree Krystle – 10 yrs of history is wonderful!!
Todd and Blair……timeless couple…finally back thanks to PP and TOLN. Will be glad to see all of the cast return.
Love love love this pic and cannot WAIT to see Todd and Blair onscreen together again! Looking forward to some exciting story with the two of them – something we were unfortunately deprived of for far too long. So much history there, and so much chemistry. Long live The Mannings! Hope Roger is able to continue playing this iconic character alongside Kassie’s Blair well into the future. Go T&B!
Can’t wait to see Todd and Blair reunited on OLTL! They seem to really support our couple which is a nice change after the many years of missed opportunities for T&B. Roger and Kassie look fantastic and I can’t wait to see them onscreen again. Nobody beats their chemistry – they’re absolute magic!
How I love them. Noone has chemistry like them on the screen…very original. I have watched from the beginning of their meeting at Rodi’s and I thought that it was over when they cancelled OLTL..but believe..and now here they are again…great to have my all time fave couple back. Of course , they will be together again. Todd and Blair are it for each other…
I think they look great. It’s a very Todd and Blair type of Picture. Todd being his usual “Okay Blair I’ll take the picture.” and Blair with that slight smile. “See Todd it doesn’t hurt a bit.”
So excited to see Todd and Blair on OLTL. Thank you PP for making it happen!
Looking forward to the continued story of Todd & Blair and their family. Roger and Kassie make magic together, and hope they have the opportunity to do so long into the future.
Team Todd & Blair, baby!
Love Love Love Roger and Kassie, they make magic as Todd and Blair and I cannot wait to see them reunite and burn up the screen together again!! <3
I miss Todd & Carly!
š me too!
me too š
Roger is better on Gh, will be watching Oltl but i look forward to Roger’s return to General Hospital
š me too! I watched OLTL for 43 years, so watched Todd and really enjoyed watching Roger playing Todd, but mostly way after the rape deal. And I really liked Trevor as Todd, until that Marty fisaco (playing house while she didn’t know who he was) and, really loved having Roger on GH… and great scenes with Heather and Carly. Wonder who he’ll be when he returns… can’t wait!
I’ll be watching both shows too.
I heard RoHo will play Alexander Quartermaine-Cassadine, son of Alexandria Quartermaine and Tony Cassadine.
I won’t be watching OLTL or AMC and Roger Howarth’s presence on GH is sorelllly missing!!! Come back soon Roger, you belong on GH!! Loved Carly & Todd — magical chemistry and excellent acting!
me too. I won’t be watching OLTL on hulu. and yes, RoHo’s presence at GH is sorely missed. Can’t wait to see RoHo’s loving Laura Wright on screen at GH again. May 10th does not come soon enough for me.
I’m with you 100% TarlyFan!! š
the downfall for RoHo’s new character is that, he and Carly have to get re-acquainted for a period of time. They propbably won’t hit the sheet until the end of the year. that succks. But oh well, at least we know they will be in each others arms again. I guess, good thing will come to those who waits. š Again, May 10th does not come soon enough for me
I can wait for the build-up again, as long as they are building up to
this couple again.. But who will Roger be playing this time around, that’s the question?? Hopefully that won’t mess up the couple since RH can’t play Todd on GH. Can’t wait to see him back!!!
Love the pic!!! LOVE Kassie & Roger and ecstatic that they are back as TnB: the most iconic soap couple ever! They have an unmatched chemistry that is nothing short of magic. Thrilled that they support TnB. Looking forward to their story being repaired, (We need a new GBW.) THANK YOU Prospect Park for listening to the fans, giving them what they want and have so desperately missed.
Todd and Carly are good together, but nothing beats Todd and Blair!
I liked Todd & Blair together a few times, but it got tiring to me, much like Carly & Sonny did on GH. One of them would always screwup and the other would retaliate – Blair would always go sleep with some other guy, Carly would always do something Sonny told her not to. Just kept happening over and over.
Best Todd & Blair was when they were “lording” over everyone from atop their penthouse, the Golden Balloon Wedding, the pathetic club. And I liked Blair with the other Todd too (Trevor, before he was found to be Victor).
But I like Blair with Max alot, too!
I live in Boston, MA and after a very horrific week here, it was good to see the picture of Todd and Blair holding the ten (10) days card. Something great to look forward to!
that was just horrible, glad they got the guys.
Soaps are a great escape from reality and I think we’ve all had too much reality this week. Glad you’re ok.
Great choice – Todd & Blair are a perfect ten! Can’t wait to see them back in action again. Many thanks to PP for bringing Llanview back to life. We look forward to the OLTL writers righting the wrongs that have been done to the Mannings and Llanview over the past year. Here’s to many more years of T&B magic on OLTL thanks to PP and TOLN!
Kassie DePaiva (Blair) just turned 52. That is sickening. That woman looks 25.
52? are you sure? wow, maybe 52 is the new 32, good for her.
better go get a No! No! te he he
THIS is the very definition of a supercouple! T&B! Golden for 20 years and counting!
You said it Jodie and I definitely agree!
“Of course Todd has always been a ten to Blair.” Even when he told her that her son was dead?
Good point!
Dont you just love that picture of Blair with the REAL TODD!!! Sorry, REAL JOLIEFAN FOREVER! I again forgot about name copywrite laws, and with this lawsuit with PP and ABC coming up too! signed Joliefan Forever (not)! LMAO!!!
I love those two… but the picture isn’t their best!
I agree. Why do they look so unhappy? Isn’t 10 days til the show returns supposed to be a joyous occasion? They look miserable. š
I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed. They look really irritated. I wonder why? Long day?
Kassie already explained this on Twitter. She said they were both dead tired from a lonnnnng day of taping. She said they just finished with TONS of dialogue in small space of time. Can’t wait to see all that exhausting work on screen! We’re in for mucho Todd & Blair! Squee!
Perhaps they look “miserable” because RoHo’s heart is at GH and KDP knows that without RoHo, it would be the end of TB, the only pairing that counts and matters in her career?!! Just a thought.
Because the probably rather be a GH…im just saying. lol
It could be they are sad Roger’s return is at it’s completion for now.
GH will probably end up in Stamford before you know it too.
Oh, Scott. Ye of little faith. It is probably because the head writer left and, it is rumored, did so because she didn’t approve of the direction of the show. Or it could be because PP has such little faith in the rebooted that they’re suing ABC in a last ditch publicity stunt. OLTL it could be the fact that actors are forced to walk back PP’s promises of cursing (Kassie herself said no F bombs after all because Hulu is PG 13).
Natalie, I believe you have hit the proverbial nail(s) on the proverbial head(s). Mazel.
My perfect 10! Good to see them together. Thanks to PP for giving us the opportunity to see The Mannings in OLTL storylines
They do look rather serious, but I’m chalking up to Kassie’s explanation. After a long day at work I’m not usually in a smiley mood either. But if I had to pick another reason I’d say Roger is dreading going back to GH, and Kassie feels bad for him.
didn’t Roger voluntarily left OLTL like 3 times before? š
The correct word word usage would be: Didn’t Roger voluntarily ‘leave’ OLTL? And if you’re asking me, I believe the answer is yes. He’s been known to leave the show when he doesn’t care for the writing of Todd. Case in point: When TPTB tried to start a romance between Todd and Marty back in 1995. Both he and Susan Haskell were vehemently against it and he left. Which is why I believe he couldn’t wait to get the hell away General Hospital and try to set things right for Todd Manning in Llanview. My opinion. YMMV.
Hey TarlyFan how about you don’t troll every page involving Todd/Blair, sorry but your “couple” was a total and unsuccessful copy of T&B
thank you for the grammar correction … please keep it up for me :). And what was the reason for the subsequent leavings? Some OLTL fan said RoHo specifically said, before he left for ATWT “I am so glad that I never have to play Todd Manning again!” <—- Please clarify/confirm that for me since you a fan of OLTL and RoHo. š I have no idea whether that comment was true or not since I didn't care for him until he hit Port Charles.
Enrique. Call me troll because you can’t handle the truth much?!! Say what you want. The fact is … there are former TB fans out there who have converted to be Tarly fans. Look at polls, Tarly has gotten more votes then TB. Had Tarly been together for 5 years, I’ll bet TB fan base will be minized to the same level as TT fanbase. Just stating the fact. Regarding your comment about Tarly being copied from TB, all I can say is Todd was attracted to Carly from the first time they met. He flirted with her since day one, Mr Pleasure anyone?!! Did Todd flirt with Blair when they first met? Did Todd woe Blair before their first kiss like he did to Carly? Don’t think so. When did Todd fall in love with Blair? By the time Todd was sent to jail for the kidnapping charge, which is within a year span, Todd has already fallen in love with Carly. Send me the clips of TB first kiss and first sex scenes for me to check out. I’m pretty sure TB’s is pale in comparison to Tarly fist kiss and first sex scenes which were full of passion. Tarly came together because they were extremely attracted to one another. Todd first sex encounter with Blair was probably just a sexual release for both of the characters.
… to add on. TB has quantity while Tarly has quality. That’s all I’m saying. Take a deep breath if you can’t handle other’s opinion.
… and to rub more salt, Enrique. Todd cracked a few smiles when he first talked to Carly. Did Todd smile when he first talked to Blair or he just donned that constipated face the whole time? If he did all of the above to Blair then you may have a case that Tarly was a copy of TB. So stop the nonsense that Tarly is an unsuccesful copy of TB.
Ya know what TARLY being completely UNINFORMED and Cocky is not the way you should go through life!
I HATE ROGER HOWARTH HOWEVER I will tell you unless you go back and watch “Todd” and Blair from the beginning you have nothing to say! TARLY is nothing more than an UNSUCCESSFUL copy!
Bring them back to GH!!!!!!!! I did love OLTL don’t know If I will watch online or not but these characters are great on GH I didn’t know If I would like that idea at first, but it is hot. Cant’wait for them to reappear sorry they won’t be the same characters such a mistake.
They both look cranky.
Last we saw Todd twin brother was held hostage by the crazy women. Please bring back Todd twin brother too.
