The latest episodes ofBeyond The Gatesset up a shocking reveal about why Leslie is so determined to destroy the Duprees. Every daytime drama relies on the favorite soap trope of someone powerful enough to cause trouble hating the main family for no apparent reason. Leslie was introduced soon afterBeyond The Gatesdebuted.
Leslie seemed to have a legitimate conflict with one Dupree: Nicole. She and her daughter Eva have lived in relative poverty, and Leslie claims that is because Ted refused to ever acknowledge that he had a daughter.Beyond the Gates' Eva has missed several opportunities for redemptionbecause she can’t let go of her loyalty to her mother.
Leslie, however, has been purely a villain throughout the series' runso far, and it seems her anger and resentment go beyond her jealousy of Nicole. Hopefully, the reveal at the end of this week will shed more light on the reason for her rage.
What’s Happening This Week On Beyond The Gates: August 11 - 15
Two front-burner stories compete for attention duringBeyond The Gatesthis week. Leslie starts off the week believing she’s won the latest battle with the Duprees despite having been ejected from the afterparty for the Articulettes show, only for her to be thrown off by a surprise visitor on Friday. Meanwhile,Hayley’s latest plan may blow up in her face.
Hayley’s elaborate plan to fake a pregnancy and then stage a miscarriage leads to Dani visiting in order to comfort Bill. While Hayley stands frozen with shock,Dani puts her arm around Bill and offers him comforting words, suggesting reconciliation between the two isn’t far off.Here are the day-to-day synopses for this week’sBeyond The Gates:
What Big Story Are We Following This Week?
Leslie’s visitor is one of the more intriguing spoilers for the week of August 11.There has been widespread speculation that Leslie is related to the Articulette singing groupsince Anita’s tribute to Barbara Mitchell. Leslie took an unusual interest in the concert and seemed to know all the songs by heart.
This obsession is odd, considering that Anita quit singing professionally long before Leslie and Ted crossed paths. However,if Leslie is related to Barbara, that would explain her hatred toward the entire Dupree family,as the other Articulettes blamed Anita for Barbara’s death.
Obviously, Barbara is not the person at Leslie’s door. However, it’s possible that the visitor is someone related to Barbara who is not happy with Leslie’s recent behavior. The visitor clearly shocks and scares Leslie, suggesting that this will be the beginning of a significant storyline.
How This Sets Up Next Week’s Beyond The Gates
Leslie’s secret may tie into several other storylines. Significantly, Naomi prepares June for an important meeting this week. That meeting may have to do with Tyrell and Samantha, as the kids' birth mother is supposed to reappear inBeyond The Gatesthis week. However,it’s also possible that June is related to Leslie.
The mystery visitor may not be related to Leslie. She could be a midwife or nurse who helped Leslie deliver Eva.Beyond The Gateswould only introduce that person if there were any truth to the rumor that Eva is not Leslie’s daughter or that Kat is. These are interesting alternatives that would lead to juicy storylines.
