Beyond the Gates
Peter Bergman Has High Praise for Upcoming ‘The Young and the Restless’ and ‘Beyond the Gates’ Crossover
This June, and as previously reported, several of your favorites from The Young and the Restless will be seen in a multi-episode arc, when they crossover to Beyond the Gates. The story which was taped a few months back, had the Y&R cast traveling to Atlanta, Georgia from Los Angeles where they had the opportunity to see the newest soap’s Assembly Studios, and how they put daytime’s newest soap together and more.
During this week’s livestream conversation with Y&R’s Peter Bergman (Jack Abbott) and Stacy Haiduk (Patty Williams) on the Michael Fairman Channel, Bergman was asked his takeaway from working with the cast and crew at Beyond the Gates.
The 25-time Daytime Emmy nominee and 3-time winner, expressed, “It was a fantastic experience, lovely people. They have a beautiful soundstage and a camaraderie among the cast that is enviable. Every single person at Beyond the Gates is an original member of the cast. Every single one of them has been there as long as the other, there are no experts. There are no long-term legends on that show. They are all legends. It is fantastic, and it’s a wonderful environment to be in.”

Bergman added, “I really enjoyed the whole thing. I am a student of daytime, as you know, so I love watching. Wow! You started a soap opera a year ago! Oh, my gosh.” The veteran star is set to appear in the multi-episode crossover along with his Y&R co-stars: Bryton James (Devon Winters), Eric Braeden (Victor Newman), Michael Mealor (Kyle Abbott), Susan Walters (Diane Abbott), and Melissa Ordway (Abby).
In a recent conversation with Soaps.com, Beyond the Gates executive producer, Julie Hanan Carruthers, shared on the crossover event: “It’s spectacular”, adding, “It validates both of our worlds when we’re referencing each other’s characters.” Mixing Genoa City and Fairmont Crest will e very special for CBS daytime fans and as Carruthers puts it, “a nice little gift for the audiences.”
Look for, in the story, longtime close friends Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) and the patriarch of the Newman family, the legendary Victor Newman to reunite at a high-profile political fundraiser. Over the years, apparently Victor has backed Vernon’s political campaigns, while Vernon has championed legislation benefiting Newman Enterprises, which is definitely an alliance built on loyalty, influence and mutual gain.
Vernon has asked Victor to serve as the keynote speaker for his grandson Martin’s (Brandon Claybon) political fundraiser. Also in attendance will be Kyle Abbott who has been a longtime friend of Martin, from when they first bonded in New York City after college. Martin extended the invitation to Kyle, who arrived alongside his parents, Jack Abbott and Diane Jenkins.
Beyond the Gates made its broadcast television network debut on CBS back on February 24, 2025 becoming the first new network soap to debut since Passions back in 1999. The first hour-long Black-led soap opera replaced The Talk which had aired for 15 seasons in the CBS daytime lineup.

Now let us know, are you looking forward to the Beyond the Gates and The Young and the Restless crossover, especially with the stamp of approval and praise from the legendary Peter Bergman? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.
Can’t wait!
I am so glad he spoke about this and spoke so highly about the team at Beyond the Gates. The forthcoming event will be good. I’m so excited about it.
I think this is awesome! I’m a white male 60 years old. I’ve been watching Y&R for decades and I’ve watched Beyond the Gates from day one!! Looking forward to this wonderful crossover! So many talented actors!! ❤️
Crossovers are fine if you watch both shows – and I’ve watched some good ones with primetime shows that I watch. However, if you don’t watch both shows it’s a tad meaningless; unfortunately (for me) I don’t watch Beyond the Gates.
Yeah, I hear that. No CBS soaps have aired down here in Hell before Beyond The Gates. I managed to get that one on the air from the beginning, thanks to my past association with Proctor & Gamble (who are involved in producing the show)
So I’ll be a little lost when this Y&R stuff hits the airwaves, as I’ve only seen bits and pieces of that show over the years. A succubus ex girlfriend might have had some bootleg tapes sent down or whatever.
Like Jennifer I’ve never watched Beyond the Gates so it’s a shoulder shrug for me.
You should watch BTG its a good show. I grew up on Y & R but I dont watch it anymore.
I wonder why
Y&R trying to get in on the hot new soap Beyond the Gates now a phenomenon and the ratings are off the roof they have changed daytime soaps
Don’t get me wrong, I wish them well, but 1.7 million viewers means they haven’t quite reached that roof yet.
Young and the Restless has been around for
decades. They don’t need to do that. If anything this gives Beyond the Gates validation from Y and R fans
That’s the point….
I don’t know where you got your ratings info, but it is inaccurate. BTG is holding it’s own but is not running away in the ratings.
They need Y&R actors to crossover to boost an awful show with ridiculous people. It’s CBS at its woke worst formulating a black soap opera. Belongs in hood with all the black attitude flying. I’m waiting for ” Don’t yo go dare!”, ” I aint gonna be havin dat!” and everyone’s favorite.. “Aint nobody gots time fo dat!!”
You just showed everyone who you are. A staunch racist. Your comments are so unnecessary. What ever happened to your raising? Have you ever seen white attitude?
The preceding post was sponored by the Ku Klux Klan
This must be Dottie’s husband.
I started watching BTG, from day 1 and is in awe of the cast, the plot and the sudden twist and turns. BTG takes you on a thrilling ride that makes you not want it to end
I am definitely looking forward to the crossover.
Can’t wait!!!!!!
Very exciting! I can’t wait.
Why the crossover ? BTG is supposed to be an “all black” soap and YandR is not ( altho it seems like it lately) ! Totally unnecessary !
BTG is not an all Black soap. That seems to be a misconception.
What happened? Were you typing, accidentally stepped on a thumbtack and let loose? Girl. Calm down.
Y&R is not an “All Black” soap, I can count on one hand how many African Americans are on Y&R, so that’s untrue. It would be nice if Y&R added more Black Actors to the show, instead of killing them off. BTG is more diverse than Y&R. I’ve been watching Y&R for over 20 years and they need to add more diversity and more Actors to the show, it’s really getting boring to watch practically everyone, in a relationship with each other.
Amen! Amen.
@Susi BTG isn’t supposed to be an “all black” soap, it’s a predominantly black soap. There are other ethnicities on BTG.
You sound so ignorant. You clearly dont watch BTG. There are Caucasian people om there. Please come into 2026
I’m excited! I watch both Y&R and Beyond the Gates everyday.
I love the collaboration. It’s going to good .
The crossover is so Amazing
I am ex To watch it
I am a long time fan
I am 65 years old and remember watching soaps ever since I was a little girl
and still watch every day
Beyond the Gates is a very Awsome Soap
I love watching it
It does not feel like it’s been a year
Keep up the Amazing work everyone
Love you all
I love BTG ❤️, I m so glad it was created, I look forward to seeing it every day! It’s the only soap that I will watch!! I love the Case , Every One is so good looking, And the fashion is off the Chain!! I love It ❤️
I’m not a soaps fanatic but I do watch BTG religiously for only 1 reason. So this crossover event will be meaningless to me. However, I do remember Peter Bergman from the AMC days.
Wonderful collaboration!
Luv it❤️. Would like to see more crossover events
I was not a fan of Beyond the Gates in the beginning but have come to LOVE the show and look forward to watching it every day. Of course a crossover with Y&R will be epic and I cant wait!!
it depends on who writes it.
This is exciting!! My 2 favorite soaps. Still waiting for BTG to live it up in New Orleans!
Oh yes, can’t wait this should be very exciting, got my vote
Yes, I’m looking forward to the crossover.
Can’t wait for this. I watch Y&R sometimes when I see my mom watching it. I need to get back into it. BTG I’ve been watching since day one. I love all the crossovers. They even have crossovers with The Bold and the beautiful as well.
IM SO EXCITED!!!
I think BTG ratings were so low that they had ti bring Y & R cast to bring up the ratings.
Why do you have to spoil The Young and The Restless with blending Beyond The Gates together. Hope you change your mind because Beyond The Gates is not a lasting soap. It’s not good at all.
Yes yes and Yasssssdd
The actors on Beyond the Gate are the best actors i have ever seen in daytime soaps!! I hope they never go off the air! And if it does.it will not be because they can’t act!!!!
No, not really
Can’t wait to see this!!
I loved The young and the restless, but what is this… Beyond the… what???
Of course he is all poitive and thrilled. What else do you expect an actor who can be fired like Doug Davidson, a veteran of Y&R was? He is going to smile and be perky even though Beyond the Gates is so poorly done that they need crossovers and fanfare because their viewership is pitiful. Beyond the “Hates” is horrific. Time to cancel.
BTG is AWESOME! I look forward to watching every day. Phenomenal cast, great acting and excellent storyline! I record it daily. Wouldn’t miss it. I’ve watched Y&R, and the Bold & The Beautiful for decades and when they get boring, I take a break and come back later. But BTG is so entertaining I hate to see it end every day. It moves so swiftly, it keeps you interested. I love Danny and Andre, as well as Shanice and Ted.
BTW, I love BTG’S Theme Song. THE STRINGS ARE AWESOME! This soap is so brilliantly put together right down to the music…and I am a musician, btw. The negative comments that I’m seeing sound more like jealousy of the fact that a predominantly black soap is so entertaining, which is why one of my earlier comments suggested that the commenter was racist. It’s your prerogative to not like the story, but at least be respectful with your reasoning/comments.
Beyond the gates is really making their own mark. I love the show.
Don’t like it at all. There’s just a different feeling a not as much excitement in the beyond the gates as young a restless it’s boring . Young an restless is not boring
Y&R is incredibly dull right now, and has been for several months. No thought is put into the storylines, they leave you hanging with no conclusions. No funerals, no endings, poor right and downright stupid dialogue. Beyond the Gates is managed well, and so far that product is not bad.
BTG has one year under its belt, Y&R has what 50 years? This should be really good. I used to watch Y&R but it’s been probably 10 years ago.
