Can Ted and Leslie move past their messy affair?
Oh honey, Beyond the Gates is serving up ALL the drama on Thursday, and Derek Baldwin is about to have a MOMENT! After running into Andre Richardson, Derek finally works up the nerve to ask Ashley Morgan the question that’s been eating him alive: When the HELL are they getting married?!
Derek Baldwin’s Run-In With Andre Richardson Changes EVERYTHING!
Something about seeing Andre Richardson triggers Derek Baldwin on Thursday’s episode, and honestly? We can’t blame him! Derek has been patient, understanding, and supportive while Ashley Morgan has been… well, let’s just say Ashley hasn’t exactly been rushing to set a wedding date!
The Beyond the Gates spoilers suggest that this encounter with Andre is the wake-up call Derek needs to finally demand some answers. Maybe seeing Andre reminds Derek that life is short and he shouldn’t be waiting around forever for Ashley to commit. Or maybe Andre says something that makes Derek question whether Ashley is REALLY ready to be his wife!
Whatever happens during this run-in, it lights a fire under Derek to finally have THE conversation with Ashley. No more avoiding, no more excuses, no more vague “someday” promises. Derek wants a wedding date, and he wants it NOW!
Will Ashley Morgan Finally Give Derek Baldwin A Wedding Date?
Here’s the million-dollar question: Is Ashley actually ready to marry Derek, or has she been stalling because she’s not sure about their relationship?
Ashley has had plenty of time to plan their wedding, but something keeps holding her back. Is it cold feet? Is it family drama? Or is there something—or someone—else standing in the way of their happily ever after?
When Derek asks for a wedding update on Thursday, Ashley is going to have to give him REAL answers. She can’t keep stringing him along with maybes and somedays. Derek deserves to know if Ashley is all in on their relationship or if she’s keeping one foot out the door!
The BTG spoilers hint that Derek is feeling pushed to this breaking point, which means he’s probably not going to accept any more excuses. Ashley either needs to commit to this marriage or let Derek go so he can find someone who actually WANTS to marry him!

Ted Richardson And Leslie Thomas Try To Forge A New Path Forward—Good Luck With THAT!
Meanwhile, Ted Richardson and Leslie Thomas are attempting to move forward in their relationship, and we have SO many questions! Are they trying to be friends? Are they trying to make their affair work? Or are they just trying to figure out how to exist in the same town without wanting to murder each other?
Let’s recap the absolute MESS that is Ted and Leslie’s situation: Ted cheated on his wife Nicole with Leslie, who is Eva’s mother. Nicole found out, got divorced, and is now happily moving on with Carlton. Meanwhile, Ted and Leslie hooked up AGAIN even after all the drama they caused!
Now they’re trying to “forge a new path forward”? Girl, the only path forward for these two is AWAY from each other! Every time Ted and Leslie get together, disaster strikes and people get hurt!
Can Ted Richardson And Leslie Thomas Actually Move Past Their Toxic History?
The Beyond the Gates spoilers suggest Ted and Leslie are genuinely trying to figure out what their relationship looks like moving forward. But here’s the problem: these two have more baggage than an airport carousel!
Leslie has a reputation for being manipulative and causing drama wherever she goes. Ted destroyed his marriage and hurt Nicole deeply by having an affair with Leslie. And now they think they can just… move forward? Create some healthy, functional relationship out of the ruins of their affair?
Maybe they’re trying to establish boundaries. Maybe they’re trying to be co-parents to Eva (okay, Ted isn’t Eva’s parent, but you get the idea). Or maybe they’re fooling themselves into thinking they can make a real relationship work when it started from lies and betrayal!
What Does This Mean For Nicole Dupree Richardson?
Let’s not forget that Nicole is watching all of this unfold! Her ex-husband is trying to build some kind of relationship with the woman he cheated with, and Nicole has every right to be FURIOUS about it!
Thankfully, Nicole has moved on with Carlton, who actually treats her like the queen she is. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy to watch Ted and Leslie try to play happy couple (or whatever they’re trying to do) after everything they put her through!
Thursday’s episode could reveal exactly what kind of “path forward” Ted and Leslie are trying to create. Are they dating? Are they just friends? Are they trying to pretend the affair never happened? Whatever they’re doing, it’s bound to cause MORE drama in the Dupree-Richardson family!
The Real Question: Should Ted Richardson And Leslie Thomas Even BE Together?
At the end of the day, BTG fans have to wonder if Ted and Leslie’s relationship is built on anything real or if it was just about the thrill of the affair. Now that everything is out in the open and they can be together without sneaking around, do they even WANT each other anymore?
Affairs are exciting BECAUSE they’re forbidden. Take away the secrecy and the drama, and what’s left? Two people who destroyed their families and hurt everyone around them, trying to convince themselves it was worth it!
Thursday’s episode will show us whether Ted and Leslie can actually forge this new path forward, or if they’re just creating MORE chaos for everyone in their orbit!
Do YOU think Ted Richardson and Leslie Thomas should be together? Can they move past their toxic affair history? What does this mean for Nicole? Share your thoughts!
