Beyond the Gates Spoilers Nov 13: Hayley Lawson Tries to Instigate Andre Richardson as Dani Dupree Faces Bill

HAYLEY LAWSON GOES AFTER ANDRE RICHARDSON WHILE BILL WORKS ON DANI

TL;DR: Friday, Nov 13, Hayley Lawson tries to instigate Andre Richardson while Dani Dupree stands her ground with Bill Hamilton. One preview ties Hayley’s needle to Bill and Dani, and nothing aired says she knows about the elevator.

Hayley Picks Friday to Get in Andre’s Ear

It is confirmed: on Friday, Nov 13, Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings) attempts to instigate Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman). These Beyond the Gates spoilers put Hayley and Andre face to face on the worst possible day. The same episode has Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) standing her ground when Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) tries to flip the script. So while the father of Hayley’s baby leans on Dani, Hayley leans on Dani’s husband.

One preview goes further and says Hayley needles Andre about how close Bill and Dani are, which could set off another heated talk at home. Another outlet just wonders whether she can find his buttons at all. Here is the catch. Hayley and Andre have not shared a scene in weeks, and Dani and Andre have not fought about Bill since Oct 7, when Andre told her he was tired of her finding reasons to check on her ex. Friday’s needle hits a quiet marriage cold.

Dani Has Spent Two Weeks Swearing Off Bill

Dani has worked hard at keeping her word. On Nov 2 she told Andre she is tired of “the drama that comes with Bill.” On Nov 5 Andre overheard her talking about “him” and braced for another Bill crisis, only to learn it was a photo shoot. That tells you how close to the surface his worry sits. Then the Nov 9 test came back a 99 percent match, and Bill is the father of Hayley’s baby.

Bill did not take it well. Caroline Lee (Ellie Wang) was at his side Monday and got him back to the office Tuesday, and he admitted the wreck he made of his living room to his daughter Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla). His other daughter, Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit), carried the papers ending his parental rights to Hayley on Nov 6. Nobody on screen has signed them.

Hayley Lawson Fired a Warning Shot at the Duprees

On Tuesday, Nov 10, Dani ran into Hayley outside Uptown and told her flat out that Bill wants no part of the baby, or of her. Then Dani walked off. Hayley did not stay quiet for long. Per one recap, she told Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) and Laura Peterson (Destiny Love) that the Duprees have dark secrets, and Anita shot back, “I will end you!”

Dark secrets is a loaded phrase in that family. Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) reported on Oct 27 that Dani vowed to stop putting Bill’s issues ahead of Andre. If Hayley wants to hurt the Duprees, the cheapest shot in town is the husband who has never been told about June.

Does Hayley Know About Dani and Bill’s Elevator Night on Beyond the Gates?

Nothing that has aired says she does. During the June 11 tornado, Dani and Bill slept together in a stalled elevator, and Andre has never been told on screen. On June 25, Hayley walked in on Dani and Bill and fumed at what she heard, but nobody spilled the elevator. Some outlets are already asking whether Friday is the day she finds out. My read: Hayley Lawson is fishing, not holding proof.

Here is what makes Friday dangerous anyway. Andre has a secret of his own. Heather Armstrong (Ashley Jones) kissed him on Aug 31 and brought it up again on Oct 27, and nothing aired shows him telling Dani. A man hiding a kiss knows how fast one rumor can wreck a marriage. He might swat Hayley away, or he might start wondering what Dani is hiding too.

Andre Has Every Reason to See the Con Coming

Thursday, Andre shows surprising compassion, and nobody has said to whom. Friday is also the day Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) and Heather go head to head, so Andre’s London past is in the air whether Hayley knows it or not. Fans on one soap message board have been begging for the elevator night to come out and asking how long Andre’s patience can last.

Hayley has plenty on her plate. Thursday she is not buying what Leslie Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) is selling, and Friday Kat Richardson (Colby Nixon) gets tender words from Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix). Per one recap, Hayley’s cousin Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry) told her Tuesday to wear the pregnancy like body armor. Don’t be surprised if Hayley Lawson tries exactly that on Andre.

Do you think Hayley is bluffing about Bill and Dani, or does she know more than she lets on? Make your case in the comments.

Hayley Is Fishing and Andre Is the Wrong Fish

Hayley has a gift for finding the softest spot in any room, and Friday she aims straight at a husband who already worries about Bill. But Andre is not a mark. He is a man with a secret, and men with secrets can smell a setup.

My call: Andre does not blow up at Dani on Friday, but he files it away, and that is worse. Who wins this round, Hayley or Andre? Tell us on our Facebook page.
