By Liz MeyersOn Nov 27, 2025

Beyond the Gates spoilers for Monday, December 1, suggest some major moments in Fairmont Crest. Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) fires back at some accusations, while Derek Baldwin (Ben Gavin) corners Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman). Plus, Bradley “Smitty” Smith (Mike Manning) protects a loved one.

Vanessa McBride Fires With Fury

Beyond the Gates spoilers for Monday, December 1, note that Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) will call Vanessa’s new business decisions into question, and Vanessa won’t hold back. (Check Out Our Weekly Beyond The Gates Spoilers, HERE!)

The two will get approached by some ladies who mention the “numbers” Vanessa gave them, and Dani completely judges Vanessa’s actions.

Sadly, Vanessa’s partnership with Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) will probably come between her and Dani’s friendship, and the proverbial drama will hit the fan during Monday’s show.

Smitty Smith’s Confrontation

Speaking of Joey, he’ll be confronted by Smitty in an effort to protect Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon). Martin is still worried about the ‘favor’ he owes the casino owner.

After all, he turned to Joey when his cousin, Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla), went missing, and Joey helped with the rescue efforts. Now, Martin continues to nervously wait for Joey to cash in on this IOU, so can Smitty convince him to back off?

Derek Baldwin Corners Andre Richardson

Beyond the Gates spoilers for Monday suggest that Derek will corner Andre, asking him some interesting questions about Ashley Morgan (Jen Jacob).

Not that Ashley and Andre’s friendship is any of Derek’s business now that he and the nurse have broken up, but the firefighter will still have the audacity to ask.

He and Ashley don’t have much of a friendship now that Andre is married to Dani, which is a good idea considering the two had feelings for each other, so what will Andre’s reply be?

Finally, Vernon Durpee (Clifton Davis) will deliver some harsh truths to Bill Hamilton (Timon Durrett).

These two have always been at each other’s throats, so it looks like another classic “Bill versus Vernon” confrontation is coming for the December 1 episode. Still, what will they fight about now?

What storyline are you most looking forward to during Monday’s show?
