Why Beyond the Gates is not new on May 6 and May 7

If you’re like millions of people across the US, then you’ve found yourself hooked on the new soap of daytime, Beyond the Gates, and understandably so. It’s got tons of drama and jaw-dropping moments already, and now that Ted (Maurice Johnson) and Leslie's (Trisha Mann-Grant) affair is out in the open, there's tons to look forward to with the fallout. Unfortunately, with that being said, Beyond the Gates won’t be showcasing a new episode today, May 6, or tomorrow, May 7.

As far as the reason behind the brief hiatus, that has everything to do with soccer again. The UEFA Champions League is in the second leg of the semifinals, and matches are appearing live on CBS. On May 6, pre-match coverage starts at 2 pm ET/11 am PT, and the actual match between Inter and Barcelona begins at 3 pm ET/12 pm PT. Then on May 7, pre-match coverage starts at 2 pm ET/11 am PT, and the match between PSG and Arsenal kicks off at 3 pm ET/12 pm PT.

Thankfully, Beyond the Gates is back to its regular schedule on Thursday, May 8. That’s fantastic news for those fans eager to see what happens next in this Ted and Leslie saga. Having dropped her bomb on Fairmont Crest, will Leslie now slink off into the night, or does she have more havoc to wreak? On that note, will it soon come to light that Eva (Ambyr Michelle) isn't actually Ted's child at all, but someone else's? And what of Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix)? How will she begin to pick up the pieces of her life?

Additionally, while we can't report that the episodes airing on May 8 and May 9 will finally expose what Martin (Brandon Claybon) did years ago, we're holding out hope that the episodes will drop some major clues as to what skeleton is hiding in the politician's closet. We have a theory that it may be something in regards to his children's biological parents, but we digress for now.

New episodes of Beyond the Gates air on weekdays on CBS. If you miss an episode, you can catch up on Paramount Plus.
