Shanice Johnson is getting more family members on Beyond the Gates! Yvette Nicole Brown and her husband, Anthony Davis, are joining the CBS soap as Temeka and Tony, who just happen to be married on the show, too.
Brown will play Temeka, Shanice's cousin, while Davis will portray Temeka's husband, Tony. And with Shanice (Ernestine Johnson) preparing to marry Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson), their arrival comes at just the right time.
So far, viewers have met Shanice's brothers, Cedric and Lamont, along with her aunt Monica. Now, her cousin Temeka and Tony are being added to the mix
It's good to see Shanice's family getting more attention, especially with her wedding to Ted approaching. We've spent plenty of time getting to know the Richardsons, so seeing more of Shanice's relatives should be interesting.
There's no word yet on exactly what Temeka and Tony will be doing during their visit, but with a wedding coming up, they'll certainly have a reason to be around.
Yvette Nicole Brown Is No Stranger to Daytime
If Yvette Nicole Brown looks familiar, there's a good chance you've seen her in one of your favorite television shows.
She's probably best known for playing Shirley Bennett on Community, but her credits also include Drake & Josh, The Odd Couple, The Mayor, and The Office.
Soap fans may remember her from The Young and the Restless, where she played reporter Lois Thompson in 2016 and again in 2017.
She also appeared on General Hospital as a nurse, so Beyond the Gates won't be her first daytime appearance.
Meet Anthony Davis, Who Will Play Tony
Joining Brown is her real-life husband, Anthony Davis, who will play Temeka's husband, Tony.
Davis is an actor and ordained pastor whose acting credits include The Family Business and The Upshaws.
The couple married on December 14, 2024, at The Maybourne Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, but they've actually known each other for decades.
They first met while attending a church acting class in their twenties. After losing touch for more than 25 years, they reconnected in 2021 following the death of Brown's mother.
Their friendship eventually turned into a relationship, and they married in 2024.
Now, nearly two years later, they're getting to play husband and wife on Beyond the Gates.
What's Next for Shanice and Her Family?
With Shanice and Ted's wedding approaching, there's plenty of room for family gatherings, introductions, and maybe even a few disagreements.
It'll be interesting to see how Temeka and Tony fit in with the rest of Shanice's relatives and whether their visit extends beyond the wedding celebrations.
For now, their debut date has not been confirmed.
