Recent plotline developments on Beyond The Gates
In the recent episodes of the soap opera, several dramatic events took place in Fairmont Crest Estates. Dani Dupree received a blow after Chelsea Hamilton, her daughter, decided to quit her full-time modeling career and pursue being a purse designer and collaborating with her cousin Kat. Ever since she realized that even a part of her career, as Chelsea's manager, was set to be over, Dani's drinking problem got worse.
Despite Andre, the man she had been seeing lately, making her promise to get a hold of herself and try to reduce her drinking before it became a major issue, she was not able to quit. However, her best friend Pamela Curtis showed up at her apartment and offered her an exciting deal. Pamela wanted to open a modeling agency with Dani, calling it the Dupree-Curtis Modeling Agency. Dani readily agreed and was on board for their new venture.
Meanwhile, on the show, Leslie tried to further her plans to ruin Ted and Nicole Richardson's marriage. Ted had paid Leslie fifty thousand dollars in exchange for her promise that she would stay away from his family and not open her mouth about their erstwhile affair. However, Leslie took the money but was still determined to break apart their marriage by scheming about spilling the beans to Nicole on the day of their marriage anniversary party.
Anita Dupree had gotten a go-ahead from her talent officer, who had given her an opportunity to make a comeback into the world of music as a singer, but she seemed hesitant. Vernon supported her immensely and reminded her that she was capable of being a great singer.
