On Beyond the Gates, Ashley and Andre have a budding romance. Everyone can see it, but what will the two of them do about it? Is Derek about to be out in the cold?

Ashley and Andre have been heating our screens for a little while now, and it’s apparent that the fans love seeing the pair sizzle and flirt, but what about Derek? The loyal boyfriend and valiant firefighter is losing his girlfriend. Fans and viewers of Beyond the Gates weigh in with their thoughts and theories on how they feel. Poor Derek and what a hot couple are the two opposing thoughts. Let's explore what the fans are saying.

Jealous Boyfriend Or Being Played By His Girlfriend: Derek On Beyond the Gates

Ashley can’t seem to get her mind off Andre, and the Soap Central Message Boards are alive with discussion.

“I am confused. Did I read somewhere that Ashley and Andre have a past? Yet the dialogue from the show seems that he is just a Richardson relative who shows up at the hospital and flirts with the Nurses. Then he and Ashley end up delivering a baby in a stuck elevator and now he had a crush on Ashley? And Ashely is semi-shacked up with Derek the firefighter who plans a special night but dumps her for a fire call when he is off on medical leave? This has gone from zero to eighty with no acceleration except for an attempted and failed pass.” -OLTLBoomer

“Yes, they did have a past. It's pretty clear that Ashley likes the attention that Andre gives her. She reacted like Derek cared more about his job than about her. Kind of an immature young lady IMO. I have 2 nephews who are firefighters. It is their life!” -CashierJudy

“YES and their identity is wrapped up in it. I treat first responders too and Derek’s reaction to the call was so real! Ashley should get it as she is a 1R herself, though not in the ER it seems. They’re going to force an Ashley/Andre pairing which is going to drive Derek off the deep end, I think. And I love those two together.” -Regular board user Omnicience replied to CashierJudy

“I felt the reaction by Ashley to Derek leaving was childish. And you are right. If she got a 'all hands on deck" call from the hospital, she'd run (I hope!) and answer the call.

IF she has a thing for Andre then break it off with Derek and be honest with him. Quit playing coy.” -CashierJudy replies to Omnicience

I do not understand Ashley either! From what I see on Beyond the Gates, she and Andre help deliver a baby, which has changed how Ashley feels about him. She couldn't take her eyes off the pictures Andre took of her, as if she was mesmerized by them. I heard Ashley say that something has changed for her regarding Andre. Is she now developing feelings for Andre, or what? Before they were stuck in the elevator helping to deliver a baby, Ashley was all into Derek. Ashley has a good man in Derek. I like them together. She shouldn't even be thinking about Andre. Andre wouldn't be faithful to her, given that he is this much of a player because of what he and Dani have. She calls, and he shows up! Will that stop if Andre and Ashley become a thing? There is no chance at all. Ashley must make a choice and then ride out the consequences. What do you think Ashley should do?
