Beyond the Gates airs a repeat episode on Monday, but the rest of the week is explosive

Beyond the Gates weekly highlights February 16 to 20

During the week of February 16 through 20, on Beyond the Gates, Fairmont Crest residents will have business as usual. Lives will be disrupted by betrayals and secrets will be exposed. In other words, it's a normal day.

A new hospital Chief of Staff arrives, a public health crisis threatens, a high-stakes undercover mission takes a toll, plus the typical family dynamics, will lead to a turbulent week.

Cecelia Specht will make her debut as Dr. Lia Whitmore, the new Chief of Staff at Garland Memorial. She will notice the hospital staff mixing business with pleasure and tell them she does not approve of romance in the workplace.

Dr. Whitmore will crack the whip, but she may be hiding a secret. The new CEO might be involved in the public health crisis with the blood plasma scandal. Instead of trying to solve the mystery, she might hinder progress. Specht will be on BTG for 20 episodes that are certain to keep viewers on the edge of their seats and Garland Memorial employees in line. Who will be exposed as her partners in crime?
