During his recent interview with The Quintessential Gentleman, Claybon discussed the dedication required to transition from commercials and modeling to securing his first soap opera role on General Hospital and, eventually, becoming part of theCBS series Beyond the Gates.
He elaborated on this resurgence, noting that the launch of Beyond the Gates inspired the entire daytime industry to "step their game up as well." To illustrate, Claybon referenced the return of Shemar Moore and Vivica A. Fox to The Young and the Restless.
Prior to the creation of Beyond the Gates, the production company Procter & Gamble had exited the soap opera game with the cancellation of As the World Turns and Guiding Light in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Marking the historic nature of CBS green-lighting a new soap opera in 2024 as a resurgence of the format.
Claybon added perspective to the conversation by acknowledging that previous shows like Generations focused on a Black family but also featured a main white family, and were only 30 minutes long. He contrasted this with Beyond the Gates, an hour-long series with a predominantly Black cast.
