CBS Legend Passes Away! Young & Restless Bryton James died, Very Heartbreaking News!
The Young and the Restless & Beyond the Gates Crossover Sparks Calls for a Permanent Move
The first-ever crossover between The Young and the Restless and Beyond the Gates has proven to be more than just a ratings success—it’s sparked a wave of fan enthusiasm and speculation about the future of Devon Hamilton.
The storyline, which saw Devon pitch the idea of signing Anita to his record label, resonated deeply with viewers. It wasn’t just a clever plot twist; it was grounded in character history. Longtime fans will remember Devon and Anita’s first meeting years ago, introduced by Neil at Indigo—a callback that gave the crossover authenticity. Brighton James and his co-star shined in every scene, reminding audiences why Devon remains a fan favorite.
However, much of the buzz centered on the on-screen chemistry between Brighton James and Carla Mosley. Mosley, who once stepped in as Amanda on Y&R, now plays the unpredictable Dany on Beyond the Gates. Devon and Dany’s scenes were filled with warmth, wit, and an undeniable spark that had fans wondering if this could be the start of something more.
Why Devon Should Stay in Fairmont Crest
The argument for Devon’s move goes beyond just romance. With Melissa Ordway’s Abby now appearing only on a recurring basis, Devon and Abby’s marriage storyline already feels like it’s nearing its natural conclusion. A mutual decision to remain friends and co-parents to Dominic could free Devon for a fresh start in Fairmont Crest.
There, he could collaborate with Anita to produce Sharon and Traci’s new album—a storyline bursting with musical passion, creative conflicts, and emotional highs. Naturally, his path would intersect with Dany’s once again, potentially leading to a slow-burn romance that, in true soap fashion, might not stay slow for long.
What’s Left in Genoa City?
Some fans may argue that Devon’s roots in Genoa City run too deep to sever. But realistically, his current arc risks sinking into repetitive corporate battles over company control—territory that feels stale both for the actor and the audience.
Fairmont Crest offers a fresh canvas—new characters, new conflicts, and a chance for Devon to escape the boardroom and return to the emotionally charged storytelling that first made him stand out.
The Bottom Line
Brighton James has already proven Devon fits seamlessly into Beyond the Gates. With his charisma, musical background, and chemistry with Carla Mosley’s Dany, a permanent crossover isn’t just a good idea—it could be the creative jolt that revitalizes both series.
The real question now isn’t whether Devon should return to Fairmont Crest. It’s why he hasn’t packed his bags already.
