It's April 6th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered and star driven. Beyond the gates just marked its first year as the first soap opera, Greenlit, and over 20 years, and the very first hour-long drama with the Mosley. Black cast, Star Marquita Goings is opening up about why this show hits different right now. She says the representation alone feels a huge gap, letting folks see themselves in the daily drama, from the highs to the messy lows that feel all. Too real. Growing up, Goings rarely caught TV shows with characters who look like her airing consistently, so she's thrilled to help flip that script for the next generation. Before this gig, Goings has been in the game since 2009, starring in projects like Five Days in the A, Saints, and Sinners, and Tyler, Perry's Zatima. Watch new episodes weekdays on CBS, or weeknights on Paramount Plus, with full-season streaming on Paramount Plus, or Pluto TV's 24-7.

Channel representation like this keeps the culture evolving.
