2) Darryl W. Handy as Detective Marcel Malone

Handy has joined Beyond the Gates as Jacob Hawthorne's (Jibre Hordges) new detective partner. Marcel, who is a hard-boiled, tough detective, is already causing controversy among viewers.

3) Jon Lindstrom as Joey Armstrong

Soap stalwart Jon Lindstrom was the major March acquisition. He plays Joey, a smooth casino owner with a dubious history and more dubious ventures. His chemistry with Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) is something to watch, especially as her husband, Doug, becomes embroiled in the culture of gambling addiction.

4) Cady McClain as Pamela Curtis

Emmy-winner Cady McClain plays Pamela, the best friend of Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley). The two are already getting into trouble, and there is much more to come. McClain's prior credits include Days of Our Lives, The Young and the Restless, and All My Children.

5) Jaden Lucas Miller & Najah Jackson as Tyrell and Samantha Richardson

Teen brothers Martin and Smitty's wards are the teen siblings. Tyrell's drama and on/off relationship with Samantha are leading innovative youth-based narratives. They premiered on March 12.

6) Karen Huger (Guest Appearance)

The Real Housewives of Potomac star Karen Huger appeared in a promo trailer, appearing as herself. Huger's cameo is quick but flashy, a nod to the glamorous, D.C.-centered backdrop.

Exits

1) Maurice Johnson as Dr. Ted Richardson

Maurice Johnson portrayed Ted when the show debuted but will be exiting by the end of April.

Despite fan speculation about off-camera drama, Johnson shot down rumors of tension with co-star Duplaix as "BS." His character influenced some of the early storylines, particularly the Ted-Leslie-Eva love triangle, and he'll remain on for 30+ more episodes.

2) Nischelle Turner as Linda (Guest Star)

The host of Entertainment Tonight had a brief cameo as a reporter who interviewed the Duprees. Her cameo was a delightful meta wink, but her stint at Fairmont Crest has already concluded on Beyond the Gates.
