I wonder if Beyond The Gates got the idea of Uptown from Peter Thomas's former nightclub Uptown Restaurant and Lounge. Was Dani inspired by Cynthia Bailey, who began modeling at 18? #BeyondTheGates #RHOA

@bleeminor2 Tracee could be an inspiration for Dani, Anjolene. I guess it depends on our interpretations of the character and the soap.

@MRSHONEYBERRY75 I almost forgot it until watching Cynthia mention it on The Nene Leakes Show.

Soap name association: Joey and Heather Armstrong (BTG) with Joe Kelly and Heather Webber (GH).

Joe Kelly was a lawyer who was involved with Heather Webber during the early 1980s on GH.

I know some soap fans only care for legacy children's births but Hayley's child will not be the first born on the show. Ashley and Andre assisted with the birth of Ashley Andrea in the hospital elevator last year. Her mom was a patient named Alix #BeyondTheGates #AshleyAndrea

So yall know that Edmonia, who lit into Martin on Beyond The Gates, was named after sculptor Edmonia Lewis.

Edmonia was a woman of mixed African-American and Native American heritages.

She has been described as queer by some historians.
