Tonight's Beyond the Gates episode centers on Grayson taking a bartender job and an extended bar subplot. The series retained 100% of the crossover audience lift from last week's The Young and the Restless tie-in in Women 18-49 (0.19 rating) and Women 25-54 (0.29 rating), drawing 1.786 million viewers. That total was the show's third-largest audience of the season, a week-to-week dip of just 10,000 viewers (1.796 million to 1.786 million) and a year-over-year increase of +316,000 viewers versus the same week in 2025 (1.470 million). Beyond the Gates topped its time-slot competitor General Hospital in Women 18-49 (0.19 vs. 0.17) and Women 25-54 (0.29 vs. 0.25). The series has posted year-over-year gains for 15 consecutive weeks, dating to the week of March 9-13, 2026. It also continues to outperform former time-slot occupant The Talk by +397,000 viewers versus 2022, +590,000 versus 2021, and +480,000 versus 2020.
