Beyond the Gates
SPARE US! BTG’s Ashley Morgan and Andre Richardson Are Sharing a Wedding Party, and Somebody Out There Wants Sparks
Beyond the Gates has Ashley Morgan as maid of honor and Andre as best man, but with Dani and Heather in the mix, these two make zero sense.
ASHLEY MORGAN AND ANDRE NEVER MADE SENSE, AND STILL DON’T
TL;DR: Beyond the Gates is putting Ashley Morgan in Shanice’s wedding as maid of honor and Andre Richardson in Ted’s as best man, and somebody out there is hoping for sparks. Please don’t. Andre’s marriage to Dani runs on screaming matches and make-up sex. Heather wants him back, and Ashley already settled for the lab guy. The BTG spoilers have Andre losing it in front of Dani. He does not need Ashley in the mix, too.

This Pairing Was Always a Head-Scratcher
Ashley Morgan and Andre Richardson were never a love story. They were a scheduling accident. Ashley was bouncing on and off with Derek Baldwin like a yo-yo. Andre was busy getting tangled up with Dani Dupree. Somewhere in between, the two of them decided they were into each other.
Fans still can’t explain it. They delivered a baby in a stuck elevator, felt something, and tried dating. It lasted right up until Ashley caught Andre kissing Dani. Then Ashley came crawling back for one more chance, and Andre told her it was too late.
That was the right call then, and it’s the right call now. Ashley has a way of making every scene about Ashley. Andre has enough drama without signing up for hers. Ashley Morgan reheating an old crush at somebody else’s wedding would be peak Ashley, and fans would be over it by the first toast.

Andre’s Marriage Is a Boxing Match With Benefits
Andre and Dani got married on a drunken whim in Vegas and decided to keep it after their wedding photo went viral. That tells you everything. These two fight, make up in the bedroom, and fight again. Rinse and repeat.
Dani has her own secret, too. She got trapped in an elevator with Bill Hamilton during the tornado, and they didn’t spend the time playing cards. Andre has noticed she can’t quit Bill, and he has already asked whether she’d rather go back to her ex. A marriage like that doesn’t need a third wheel. It needs a referee.
Heather Already Called Dibs
Here’s the real problem with Andre: his past showed up wearing heels. Heather Armstrong rolled into Fairmont Crest, taunted him, and demanded they pick up where they left off. Andre swore he was loyal to Dani. Then he kissed Heather anyway.
Heather is Joey Armstrong’s sister and the woman they call the Impaler. Andre has been hiding their history and whatever happened in London from his own wife. Is Andre Richardson really going to add a maid of honor to that pile of secrets? Even he isn’t that reckless.

Ashley Settled for Convenient
Ashley isn’t exactly pining, either. She’s with the lab guy now, and the best thing anyone can say about him is that he’s convenient. He’s there, he’s available, and he doesn’t come with a viral Vegas wedding or a stalker from London. That’s very on brand for Ashley Morgan.
So picture the wedding. Ashley clutching the bouquet, Andre clutching his phone because Heather won’t stop texting, and Dani glaring at both of them from the second row. Could the maid of honor and best man rekindle anything in that mess? Only if the writers want fans throwing remotes.

Keep the Wedding About the Bride and Groom
Ted Richardson and Shanice Johnson deserve one drama-free day. Ted raised Andre, and Shanice has waited a long time for her happily ever after.
Let Ashley hold the flowers, and Andre hold the rings, and let both of them go home to their own messes. Ashley Morgan and Andre Richardson already had their shot, and it went exactly nowhere.
