Beyond the Gates
BTG Comings and Goings Week of October 26: A Doorstep Debut, an Interview That Opens Old Wounds, and One Actress Playing Two Roles
This BTG Comings and Goings roundup covers a doorstep debut, a surprise reunion, and one actress playing two roles in Fairmont Crest.
FRESH FACES AND OLD WOUNDS FILL BTG COMINGS AND GOINGS
This BTG Comings and Goings roundup has Jennifer Van Horn debuting as Jenny Smith, Tabitha Brown stepping in as Tia Allen, Kandi Burruss arriving as Kalista Kilroy, and Cady McClain and Milly Figuereo returning for Dani Dupree’s big career interview, while Tamara Tunie plays double duty as Anita Dupree and Jackie Tyree. Maria Howell and Bonita Brisker are lined up to return next week, and Fairmont Crest’s guest list is longer than its list of things people will say out loud.
Beyond the Gates Comings & Goings
Fairmont Crest has a gift for padding its guest list at the exact moment everyone has something to hide, and this round of BTG Comings and Goings is no exception. A doorstep debut, a career interview that turned into a reunion nobody RSVP’d to, and one actress working a double shift have the gated community buzzing louder than a wasp at a picnic. Pull up a chair, because there is more arriving next week.
Got a theory on who Kalista Kilroy really came to see, or a wish list for who should walk through the gates next? Send it our way at amber@soapoperamagazine.com and we may feature it on the site!
Jenny Smith Lands On Smitty’s Doorstep
Jennifer Van Horn debuted as Jenny Smith on October 21, landing on the doorstep of Mike Manning’s Smitty right as his legal mess took over the neighborhood. She brought compliments instead of casseroles, which in Fairmont Crest counts as a suspicious amount of niceness, and the group hug that broke out when Brandon Claybon’s Martin Richardson walked in could have powered the whole street.
Dani’s Interview Becomes A Reunion
A career interview should be a cozy hour of reminiscing and a flattering photo. Naturally, in Fairmont Crest, it turned into a revolving door with a camera crew. Tabitha Brown debuted as Tia Allen and interviewed Karla Mosley’s Dani Dupree about her career, while Cady McClain returned as Pamela Curtis and Milly Figuereo came back as Tatum Stewart, the designer who last turned up in February. Kandi Burruss debuted as Kalista Kilroy, Dani’s former agent, and she showed up with a past nobody asked her to bring.
Tamara Tunie Plays Double Duty
Tamara Tunie, who already plays Anita Dupree, brought Jackie Tyree to the screen, the Anita impersonator last seen officiating Dani’s spur-of-the-moment Las Vegas wedding. One actress, two women, and a whole lot of raised eyebrows: the casting department got a two-for-one, and the Dupree family got twice the trouble.
Elsewhere, Jordi Vilasuso was back as Grayson Perez on October 19, and Ellie Wang returned as Caroline Lee on October 20, proving the gates keep their hinges well greased.
Next week, Maria Howell is back as Tracy Tyler and Bonita Brisker returns as Sharon Winger on Wednesday, October 28, when Anita has big news to share. Clear your calendar and pour yourself something strong.
