It’s a new year in Fairmont Crest, which means a whole new set of problems. And Beyond the Gates will need some of the show’s essential characters to help tell all its stories. Martin and Smitty’s kids pop up just in time to experience more teenage drama and emotions. Other recurring characters, such as Madison, will be called upon for support. And, of course, some are involved in key romances. Here is a breakdown of BTG’s latest Coming & Goings.
Key Takeaways

Teen drama intensifies as key romances and alliances advance.
Medical and emotional support roles take center stage amid family strain.
The Week of January 5, 2026
Kenjah returns as Madison on Monday, January 5. The last time we saw the neurologist, she and Chelsea rang in the New Year by watching special guest star Kenny Lattimore perform his classic hit, “For You.” The tone of her next appearance will be much different, however. Her girlfriend turns to her for medical advice. Currently, all that is on Chelsea’s mind is her grandmother’s breast cancer diagnosis.
Several key players are expected to appear on BTG on Tuesday, January 6. Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) will have a request for her business and romantic partner, Joey Armstrong. Jon Lindstrom, who plays Armstrong, has also been appearing on GH recently.
Meanwhile, a couple of teens will be on the scene when Jaden Lucas Miller’s Tyrell and Camryn Jade’s Jessica experience drama in their relationship. The high schoolers are about to face a hurdle. Will Tyrell and Jessica be able to overcome this obstacle? Look for Miller to also appear on Wednesday.
Additionally, on Tuesday, expect David Lami Friebe’s Izaiah to get even closer to Eva (Ambyr Michelle). Over the holidays, the two clashed a little bit, but they also took their relationship to the next level. How much closer are we talking?
Coming up on Wednesday, January 7, Ernestine Johnson’s Shanice will have a chat with Ashley (Jen Jacob). The conversation, according to the weekly spoilers, is expected to be juicy. This means she may open up about her and Ted (Keith D. Robinson). Elsewhere, Najah Jackson’s Samantha will be feeling guilty. Why is the teen feeling guilty? What did she do?
And according to BTG’s video sneak peek at the end of Friday’s episode, Darryl W. Handy and his shady detective character, Marcel Malone, are set to return to the screen next week in scenes with Leslie (played by Trisha Mann-Grant).
