Duplaix shared the show’s public service announcement on Instagram, reflecting on the storyline. “As an actress on Beyond the Gates, I’ve had the honor of being part of something truly meaningful. Our show is bringing awareness to a powerful cancer storyline that hits close to home for so many families.”
On the series, Anita was recently diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, a subtype that, according to medical research, disproportionately affects younger women and Black women and is often associated with BRCA1 gene mutations.

Duplaix expanded on the sentiment in her post, writing, “Cancer doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed—it impacts entire families, communities, and support systems. Through our characters, we’re showing the reality of this journey: the fear, the strength, the vulnerability, and the hope.”
On scree, the Dupree family has rallied around Anita, offering support as the family matriarch faces her diagnosis. At the same time, several characters grapple with their own fears as they consider genetic screening related to the BRCA1 mutation.
Duplaix also emphasized the broader goal behind the storyline. “We’re honored to use our platform to shed light on the importance of early detection, screenings, and supporting those fighting this battle,” she wrote. “This storyline isn’t just entertainment—it’s about raising awareness and potentially saving lives. If our story encourages even one person to get screened, have that difficult conversation, or support a loved one going through treatment, we’ve done our job. That’s the real power of storytelling. ?”
She concluded by thanking viewers for engaging with the storyline adding, “Thank you for allowing us to bring these important stories into your homes. Let’s continue the conversation and support one another.”
