CBS soap pre-emption

It’s time for soap fans to put down their remotes and squeeze over a little to make some room for soccer fans who are anticipating the finals of the UEFA Champions League. And we get it, right now you’re crossing your fingers and hoping you won’t be kicked out of Fairmont Crest, Genoa City, or fake L.A. for a couple of days.

Unfortunately, if you’re a Beyond the Gates viewer (isn’t that all of us?!), then you’re going to have to miss out for a couple of days this week. But, that doesn’t mean you’ll miss episodes, there will just be a little delay.

For those who aren’t a fan of both European football and daytime serials, The UEFA Champions League is an annual competition featuring Europe's top club teams. The 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League season began last July, and the finals will be Saturday, May 3rd. To know who is playing next weekend, the semi-finals will be interrupting our daily visit to Fairmont Crest. On Tuesday, April 29th and Wednesday, April 30th, Beyond the Gates will be pre-empted for CBS Sports coverage of the UEFA semi-finals.

Want to start your sudsy viewing a little early? We got you! Watch a preview for next week’s episodes of Beyond the Gates here (and — bonus! — The Young and the Restless spoiler video is here, too).

Beyond the Gates, just like The Bold and the Beautiful and its sister show The Young and the Restless, can be viewed weekdays on CBS and streamed live and on demand on Paramount Plus when it returns to its regular scheduling on Thursday, May 1st.

About the UEFA Semi-Finals

The teams that made it to the UEFA Champions League Semi-finals are Arsenal, Barcelona, Inter, and PSG. Arsenal advanced by dominating Real Madrid in the Quarterfinals; manager Mikel Arteta's squad denied Real Madrid a chance for its second straight, and 16th overall, UCL trophy. Elsewhere in the Quarterfinals, Barcelona handled Dortmund; Inter edged Bayern; and PSG held off Aston Villa.

Trending

In the semi-finals bracket, Arsenal is pitted against PSG, and Barcelona against Inter. The two teams that survive the semi-final round will meet in the 2025 UEFA Champions League Final.

This season marked the inaugural run of the expanded League Phase format. The new format was designed to introduce more competitive matches throughout the entirety of the competition, as top clubs go head-to-head more often and earlier in the tournament.
