Duplaix will play the role of Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson, Anita's psychiatrist daughter whose life appears perfect from the outside. Duplaix is best known for her role on "One Life to Live" as Rachel Gannon, which earned her an NAACP Award nomination.

CBS' upcoming daytime sudser Beyond the Gates (new title) has cast three actors to play prominent members of the fictitious Dupree family.

Reality TV shows may have largely replaced the daytime soap for contemporary viewers, but those shows still have loyal fanbases. Cue Beyond The Gates, a new CBS drama that is the first soap opera with a predominantly Black cast since Generations in 1989.
