CBS‘ upcoming daytime sudser Beyond the Gates (new title) has cast three actors to play prominent members of the fictitious Dupree family.
Tamara Tunie (As the World Turns, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) stars as Anita Dupree, the matriarch of the family and a former famous singer. She worked hard for her success, and raised two daughters with her now-retired senator husband. But underneath her glamorous and refined exterior is a fierceness she gained from her humble beginnings in Chicago.
Daphnee Duplaix (One Life to Live) will play Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson, daughter of Anita, who is a high-achieving and competitive philanthropist and psychiatrist, and exudes warmth, empathy and compassion. Nicole’s success in life extends to her marriage to her surgeon husband. She has the perfect life … from the outside.
Karla Mosley (The Bold and the Beautiful) will portray Anita’s other daughter Dani Dupree, who’s a former model turned momager who gave up her career for love. Dani was the family wild child — free-spirited, headstrong and uninhibited, having dropped out of school to pursue a high-flying modeling career.
Formerly known as The Gates, the new soap from the CBS Studios / NAACP Venture, in partnership with P&G Studios, is the first Black one-hour daytime drama to air on television and the first daytime drama to premiere since Passions in 1999. It’s set in a Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C. and begin production later this fall in Atlanta and will premiere on CBS in early 2025.
Michele Val Jean is the creator, executive producer and showrunner alongside executive producers Sheila Ducksworth, Robert Guza Jr., Julie Carruthers, Leon Russell, Derrick Johnson, Kimberly Doebereiner and Anna Saalfeld.
