After 15 seasons and numerous co-hosts, CBS Daytime’s The Talk will come to its series conclusion with its final week of live shows starting on December 16th and wrapping up with its grand finale on December 20th.

It remains to be seen how the farewell will be positioned and if any of the former hosts, or show creator Sara Gilbert might make a return as the show comes to a close.

CBS is so far only teasing that joining current co-hosts: Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell and Sheryl Underwood will be “an array of guests” along with big holiday giveaways which in December they are slated to gift more than $2.5 million worth of stuff to its loyal audience members.

Replacing The Talk in its time slot of 2:00-3:00 pm ET/1:00-2:00pm PT will be the new soap, Beyond the Gates, which is set to premiere on February 24, 2025. There is no word yet what CBS plans to do to fill the airtime during the ending of The Talk and the debut of Beyond the Gates.

Many are suspecting that CBS might show encore episodes of past episodes of The Talk for the two months between the premiere of Beyond the Gates, but it would be great if they showed encore episodes of their current soaps, The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful, and from the vault, instead. Just sayin

During The Talks’s 15-season run, they will have aired 2,993 episodes, garnered over 70 awards and nominations, promoted over 10,800 guests, gifted over $103 million in giveaways and welcomed over 250,000 audience members.

So, are you ready to say “goodbye” to ‘The Talk’ and “hello” to ‘Beyond the Gates?’ What would you like to see CBS Daytime executives do for interim programming from December 22nd through February 23rd? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

What I would like to see in the 2pm-3pm is encores of the long running soap opera’s on cbs for cbs for the rest of December after the talk concludes and all of January and part of February until beyond the gates begins

Cannot wait for this once awesome show, to end. Once Sara, Sharon Osborne and Julie Chen left, it has been pitiful. Sheryl should have left a long time ago. Stopped watching when Sharon left. Every now n then I’ll catch the final few minutes and it is horrid.

I honestly think CBS is making a big mistake cancelling the show. They finally have the right set of hosts with interesting segments and interviews. Now it’s being cancelled because they need to make room for Judge Judy reruns and a new soap opera. This is a sad time indeed.

I agree, I Love watching “The Talk”, because unlike watching “The View” they know how to keep it light and positive and funny, and I also love the hosts and the energy they put out, you feel like this group of hosts are genuinely really good friends in real life.

Exactly! We don’t need two hours of repeat judge shows. I would love to see The Talk and the new soap! If I want to see old judge shows (which I don’t) I will go to the many Roku channels.

Speaking of which, General Hospital has a channel on Roku Live Stream TV.

How about encore episodes of Guiding Light?

Encore Guiding Light or As the World Turns sounds great.

Sad to see “The Talk” ending.

Me too.

My mom and i hate to see this show end. I hope in the near future they will have a reunion show. Everyone be blessed .

Same here, and I agree, blessings all around for “The Talk”.

I would like to see stories featuring the lives of each host; past and present of their lives from their beginning up and including their days at The Talk.

The Talk’s cancelation came 15 years too late. Canceling the long-running, and beloved “As The World Turns”, was disgraceful. I can’t wait for “Beyond The Gates”. It’s about time a fresh, new soap opera hit the airwaves. It’s been far too long.

Yvette Nicole Brown and Anthony R. Davis

Next week on the Friday, November 13 episode of Beyond the Gates, Yvette Nicole Brown and her real life husband Anthony Davis guest star. In story, Brown takes on the role of Temeka the cousin to Shanice (Ernestine Johnson Morrison).

When Temeka comes to Fairmont Crest she will be accompanied by her husband, Tony, played by real-life hubby Anthony Davis. The castings come as the soap opera continues to expand the family of Shanice. Previously, we met her brothers, Cedric and Lamont.

As Shanice gets ready to head down the aisle with Dr. Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson) will the presence of Shanice’s family members actually deter the nuptials from ever taking place?

This now makes the third daytime drama appearance by Yvette Nicole Brown. She first popped up on The Young and the Restless in 2016 and 2017 as reporter Lois Thompson.

Then in 2023, she played a nurse on General Hospital when she appeared in the March 29, 2023 episode honoring her real-life friend, Sonya Eddy who past away in real-life in December of 2022, The soap honored her in death when her character, Epiphany died.

Brown and Eddy first met in 2003 while testing for an ABC pilot titled “The Four Divas” alongside Octavia Spencer and Carla Renata and became very close friends up until Eddy’s passing.

It was actually Brown’s character, who came forth to Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and shared that Epiphany died saving her life which gave some sort of solace to Elizabeth; knowing Epiphany died doing what she loved, helping people.

As for Anthony Davis, not only is he an actor, but a writer and minister known for TV and film roles including: He Wasn’t Man Enough (2025), The Family Business: New Orleans, and The Upshaws.  

Brown is also recognized from her roles on: Community, The Odd Couple, The Mayor, That ’70s Show, The Office, Boston Legal, Chuck, Mom, Big Shot to name but a few.

So, looking forward to see Yvette Nicole Brown and her real-life husband, Anthony Davis on Beyond the Gates? Happy to see more family members from Shanice’s life showing up at Fairmont Crest?

The 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards red carpet arrivals featured many a leading man from your favorite soaps, plus the younger stars and veteran actors you’ve come to love.

The gents were definitely about the bowties this year, plus fashion-forward trends, classic suit and tux looks, or sport jacket and no tie. There were a myriad of fashion choices on display from the one thing the soaps are usually known for, ‘hot’ guys.

This year for the first time the red carpet featured the cast of Beyond the Gates who were eligible for Daytime Emmy competition for the first time in their young history, bringing fresh faces and new vibes to the festivities.

LEADING MEN, VETERAN STARS AND NEWCOMERS STRIKE A POSE

Many of this year’s nominees who went on to become eventual winners, previous Emmy winners, and more, took to the carpet to strike a pose for the paparazzi in attendance.

Some of the standout looks came from (pictured above): Steve Burton (Jason Morgan, General Hospital) in traditional black tux with a sheen, Lawrence Saint-Victor (Carter Walton, The Bold and the Beautiful), Giovanni Mazza (Gio Palmieri), Jibre Hordges (Jacob Hawthorne, Beyond the Gates) and Michael Graziadei  (Daniel Romalotti, The Young and the Restless), all wearing tuxes, suits or sportcoat and trousers with a bowtie, plus now two-time Daytime Emmy winner, Roger Howarth (Matt Clark, The Young and the Restless) who gave us that stellar jacket and more relaxed vibe for the carpet.
