He&#8217;s an amazing actor, which you can see if you watch the series. He&#8217;s able to show so many sides of his character, Bill. It&#8217;s no surprise that he&#8217;s nominated for a Daytime Emmy this year! I hope he wins, but his category has very stiff competition. He&#8217;s up against quite a few CBS stars, including Mike Manning, who plays Smitty on BTG as well.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure why Timon is nominated as a supporting actor because he drives a lot of story in the show. Either way, it&#8217;s fun to watch Bill navigate the drama on the show, with his ex-wives, his daughters and more.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy our interview! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soapoperadigest.com\/content\/how-to-watch-the-2026-daytime-emmy-awards\/\">Where to Watch the 53rd Daytime Emmys<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Interview with Timon Kyle Durrett of &quot;Beyond the Gates&quot; on CBS by Suzanne 9\/11\/26\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j29LYg8QmxQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-71668 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/btgkeyart-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"CBS Presents BEYOND THE GATES \u00a92025 CBS Broadcasting, Inc.

But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those who live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play.
