CBS has revealed a major crossover event between The Young and the Restless and Beyond the Gates, featuring six stars from Genoa City in multiple episodes this June. The storyline revolves around a political fundraiser that takes an unexpected turn. This marks a significant moment in daytime television as the soaps intersect.
The crossover brings together characters from The Young and the Restless into the world of Beyond the Gates, which airs weekdays at 2 p.m. ET on CBS. Announced on Tuesday, the event is described by the network as a "landmark daytime television event."
Eric Braeden reprises his role as Victor Newman, reuniting with longtime friend Vernon Dupree at a high-profile political fundraiser for Vernon's grandson, Martin. Victor serves as the keynote speaker, highlighting their alliance: "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."
Martin invites Kyle Abbott, played by Michael Mealor, with whom he bonded in New York City after college. Kyle brings his parents, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters). Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) and Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) also attend, with Devon encountering an unexpected business opportunity from Anita Dupree.
The evening spirals into drama when "a shocking event occurs, abruptly derailing the fundraiser and triggering dramatic consequences that will impact every guest in attendance."
This is the largest crossover for Beyond the Gates to date, though not the first. Bryton James previously appeared as Devon in a one-episode Young and the Restless storyline, and Thorsten Kaye guested as Ridge Forrester from The Bold and the Beautiful.
Fans anticipate new interactions as these Genoa City staples venture to Fairmont Crest.
