Last Week on Beyond the Gates: Failed Plots, Pregnancy Ponderings, and a Sweet Proposal

Wow, what a week it was in Fairmont Crest from October 13 to 17! We saw some seriously intense moments, happy reunions, and a whole lot of questions left hanging. Let's dive into the biggest bombshells you might have missed.

Hayley's Deadly Plan Hits a Snag (Thank Goodness!)

Bill Hamilton's marriage to Hayley Lawson Hamilton took a dark turn after she caught him kissing Dani. Fueled by fury and a desire for his $10 million life insurance, Hayley cooked up a truly twisted scheme. With her cousin Randy Parker's help (who also assisted her in faking a pregnancy and pinning a fake miscarriage on Dani), she decided to poison Bill. Her weapon of choice? A suspicious cupcake at his birthday celebration!

Luckily, Bill unknowingly switched desserts, and it was Naomi who took a bite. She instantly spit it out, noting the strange taste, saving Bill from a deadly fate. But don't think Hayley's giving up — she's already vowed to try again. Talk about relentless!

Naomi's Future Hangs in the Balance with a Baby Bombshell

While Bill was busy dodging poison, he had a tough week himself. Besides getting caught kissing Dani (which definitely didn't help Hayley's mood!), he faced an emotional confrontation with his daughter, Naomi. She aired her grievances about her difficult childhood and his career-focused life. To add more tension, Bill revealed he'd hired a private investigator to dig up dirt on Dani's new husband, Andre.

But the biggest news for Naomi? She confided in her mother, Dani, about her disagreement with husband Jacob over having children. Naomi admitted she wasn't ready to be a mom, and later broke the news of her pregnancy to her sister Chelsea, still expressing her reluctance. Jacob, however, seems keen on the idea, setting the couple up for a serious impasse that could shake their marriage to its core.

Mixed Signals and Mended Hearts in Fairmont Crest

Dani Dupree is trying to make her hasty marriage to Andre Richardson work, even after that kiss with Bill. They've agreed to put in the effort, which is good news for fans of the couple. Meanwhile, Dani's niece, Kat Richardson, had a rough week confronting her father Ted about his infidelity. She then tried to fix things with Tomas in an awkward, blindfolded hotel room attempt that ended with flying room service. Oops!

On a brighter note, Vanessa McBride and Joey Armstrong found their way back to each other after a temporary split over Vanessa's son, Donnell. Vanessa also laid down the law with Nicole, telling her she needed to accept Joey if their friendship was to continue. And in truly heartwarming news, Martin Richardson and Smitty announced their reconciliation to their kids, Tyrell and Samantha, with Smitty proposing again! Get ready for those renewed vows!

Familiar Faces Return to Stir the Pot

The week of October 13-17 also saw some beloved and not-so-beloved characters making their way back to Fairmont Crest:

  • Jasmine Burke as June: Finds herself in a tense moment after a warning from Leslie. Could it be about her feelings for Ted?
  • Alexander Cheeks as Donnell McBride: Faced with a fascinating offer that could keep him in town longer, away from his studies.
  • Najah Jackson as Samantha Richardson: Discovers her plan to "parent trap" worked, meaning Martin and Smitty are officially back together!
  • Ernestine Johnson as Shanice Johnson: Gets two surprising pieces of information.
  • Maurice P. Kerry as Randy Parker: Given a dangerous mission targeting someone unexpected.
  • Jon Lindstrom as Joey Armstrong: Shocks Vanessa with an unexpected announcement.
