Joining the CBS Daytime schedule in February 2025 is a new soap called Beyond the Gates. To accommodate the addition, the lineup will be slightly changed until then.

Known for her work on The Bold and the Beautiful and General Hospital, Val Jean will also be an executive producer alongside Sheila Ducksworth, Leon Russell, Derrick Johnson, and Kimberly Doebereiner.
