The cast of The Young and the Restless is currently crossing over to CBS’s newest daytime soap opera Beyond the Gates, and actress Ernestine Johnson Morrison is sharing her reaction to being a part of the historic event.
The actress took to Instagram to share behind-the-scenes photos from the episode filming.
“Like, are you for real?! I really got to work with THEE “Victor Newman!” she wrote.
The actress continued to share how amazed she was to work with the Daytime Emmy winner, writing, “In all seriousness, Eric Braeden, you were a master class to watch! The level of craftsmanship you brought to every scene was magical to watch as an actor!”
She continued to share how honored she was to work with other members of the number one rated soap opera, adding, “It was also an honor to share the screen with Peter Bergman and Melissa Ordway! This was legendary. So grateful to be a part of such a special collaboration.”
Johnson added that she wishes she could have shared the photos with her late mother. “She loved her some Victor Newman!” Johnson wrote. But despite not being able to share the moment with her mother, she knows she made her proud, adding, “I know you are up there BEAMING with Joy, Mom. ” ❤️🕊️”
On-screen, it is the day before Martin Richardson‘s primary, and he is hosting a fundraising event for his campaign. In attendance are various members from Genoa City, including Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor), Diane Abbott (Susan Walter), Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway), and Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James).

As Martin begins his speech, thanking the donors for attending and for their continued support, he gets word that the county is under a tornado warning and urges everyone to follow safety protocols.
Moments later, the tornado hits, damaging the fundraiser’s location and leaving the residents of Genoa City and Fairmount Crest in danger.

Beyond the Gates airs weekdays on CBS with episodes streaming weeknights on Paramount+.
