The Real Housewives of Potomac stars Gizelle Bryant and Wendy Osefo are officially keeping up with the Duprees.
Us Weekly has the exclusive first look at Gizelle and Wendy’s upcoming appearance on the CBS soap opera Beyond the Gates set to air on Monday, December 1. While the women are used to showing their real lives on the Bravo show, it wasn’t hard to step into the fictionalized world of Fairmont Crest, according to Gizelle.
“The Duprees are stylish, opinionated and have the ability to be extremely shady. That is all the ingredients of a Real Housewife reunion,” Gizelle told Us about trying her hand at scripted TV.
While her story line involved Vanessa’s business during this trip to the affluent Maryland suburb, Gizelle told Us that she would love to return to the show and stir the pot in the personal lives of Fairmont Crest.

“I hope that Fairmont Crest has not seen the last of Gloria Darvel,” she said of her character. “She needs to start some trouble and maybe test some marriages. I would love to return.”
The official logline for Monday’s episode reads: “Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) fires back when her business decisions are called into question by Dani (Karla Mosley) and some fellow club members (Gizelle and Wendy).”
Gizelle and Wendy aren’t the first Potomac stars to appear on Beyond the Gates. Karen Huger previously got in on the fun not long after the show premiered in February.
“I didn’t get any tips from Karen, but it’s so nice that Beyond the Gates loves to have the Potomac ladies pop in and mix it up,” Gizelle added.
Beyond the Gates stars Tamara Tunie and Daphnée Duplaix previously told Us that they weren’t super familiar with Karen when she came to set — but had nothing but kind things to say about her acting skills.

“I’ll be transparent, I didn’t know who she was when she came on the set. Oh, she’s from The [Real] Housewives of Potomac. I was like, ‘OK, perfect.’ Because that’s where our fictional community is,” Tunie said. “It’s in the [DNA]. So it’s great to have that little cameo of her.”
Duplaix called Karen “hysterical.”
“Every time I watched that scene, it’s like she stole a scene,” she said.
Beyond the Gates airs weekdays on CBS at 2 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT. and is available to stream on Paramount+.
