"Dani kinda reminds me of Erica Kane": Soap fans unite in support of Beyond The Gates amidst ongoing criticism

CBS has come up with an all new soap opera Beyond The Gates, introducing viewers to the wealthy Dupree family of Fairmont Crest, Maryland. What's unique about this new drama is that it offers just what many soap opera lovers crave: scandals, secrets and power struggles.

The titular Dupree family has been navigating several personal and social conflicts, and guess what? Drama in this family never ends. Among the family members are Vernon Dupree, a former senator and Anita Dupree, a retired singer.

They have a daughter named Dani, one of the main characters in Beyond The Gates played by actress Karla Mosley. The daily soap kicked off with Dani finding it hard to swallow that her ex-husband Bill is about to marry a much younger woman named Hayley who's also friends with Dani's daughter.

Witnessing this love triangle and chaos in Beyond The Gates, fans cannot stop comparing Dani with Erica Kane, a beloved character from All My Children. Here's what a user named Susan Risner said on Facebook:

"This soap is getting good. Dani kinda reminds me of Erica Kane, just a little🤏😉"

User @Dwight Brown also shared a reaction:

"Another great episode today. Got my daily dose of the Duprees!"

Although the daily soap has been receiving criticism from many, it's not entirely hated by all viewers. User @Adrienne V Barron wrote:

"I haven't watched soap operas in years. My mom had me hooked. I love this one."

Another user @Nardine Rizzo Roth commented:

"Love, love this soap. Actors seem to be getting more comfortable. Sets are amazing and story lines seem to move quickly..not the same dialog for days and days like B&B and YR!!! So refreshing. I honestly look forward to this soap ❤️"

Not only this, but a fan of Karla Mosley also wrote:

"I decided to watch because I’ve been a fan of Karla’s since she was on another show. Her character Dani is so much fun, I immediately liked her “parents” on the show as well. I was hopefully optimistic but wasn’t expecting a home run right ‘out of the gate’. 👍 👍"

From her intense facial expressions to her dangerous and powerful look, Dani is receiving much love from viewers of the soap. The love triangle between Hayley, Bill, and Dani is well-received, yet some viewers don't like the storyline and think Dani is an "over-the-top" character.

CBS daily soap Beyond The Gates receives positive reactions amid ongoing criticism

As mentioned earlier, the newly released daily soap Beyond The Gates is receiving mixed reactions from viewers as some really enjoyed the characters especially Dani Dupree, while others believe the show isn't that interesting.

One of the fans even shared that Karla Mosley's character Dani Dupree gave Erica Kan vibes. For those who forgot, Susan Lucci's Kane is among the fan-adored characters from All My Children, which aired from 1970 to 2011.

Just like Dani in Beyond The Gates, Erica is ambitious, glamorous, and sometimes manipulative. She has faced several failed marriages in her life and often found herself in dramatic rivalries. This way, she became a legendary figure in the history of the daily soap opera, and fans still associate her with power, resilience, and scandal.
