CBS is plotting a daytime sudser crossover event this summer between its long-running “The Young and the Restless” and newcomer “Beyond the Gates.” The Eye network announced Tuesday that six characters from “Young and the Restless” will appear on “Beyond the Gates” for a multi-episode event in June.
Set to appear from “Y&R” on “Beyond the Gates” are Eric Braeden, Michael Mealor, Peter Bergman, Susan Walters, Melissa Ordway and Bryton James.
Here’s the logline for the episodes: “Longtime close friends Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) and the powerful patriarch of the Newman family, the legendary Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), arriving in grand style at Fairmont Crest, reunite at a high-profile political fundraiser. Over the years, Victor has backed Vernon’s political campaigns, while Vernon has championed legislation benefiting Newman Enterprises, an alliance built on loyalty, influence, and mutual gain. Now, Vernon has asked Victor to serve as the keynote speaker for his grandson Martin’s (Brandon Claybon) fundraiser.”
The explainer continues: “Also in attendance are Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Martin, friends who first bonded in New York City after college. Martin extended the invitation to Kyle, who arrived alongside his parents, Jack (Peter Bergman) and Diane (Susan Walters). Abby (Melissa Ordway) and Devon (Bryton James) are also on the VIP guest list, with Devon fielding an unexpected business opportunity from Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie). As the evening unfolds, a shocking event occurs, abruptly derailing the fundraiser and triggering dramatic consequences that will impact every guest in attendance.”
Making the crossover unique is that the two soaps are produced by different companies: “Beyond the Gates,” which launched in February 2025, comes from the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture, with P&G Studios a partner, while “The Young and the Restless,” which launched in March 1973, comes from Sony Pictures TV and Bell Dramatic Serial Company.
“Beyond the Gates,” which airs weekday afternoons at 2 p.m. ET/ 1 p.m. PT, was created by head writer Michele Val Jean, executive producers include Val Jean, Sheila Ducksworth, Julie Carruthers, Tracey Thomson, Leon W. Russell, Derrick Johnson, Anna Saalfeld and Lela Coffey.
“The Young and the Restless,” which airs weekdays at 12:30 p.m. ET/11:30 a.m. PT, comes from exec producer/head writer Josh Griffith and co-exec producer Sally McDonald.
