Beyond the Gates has cast Denzell Dandridge and Khiry Walker as brothers to Shanice Johnson (Ernestine Morrison), with Dandridge debuting as Lamont Johnson and Walker debuting as Cedric Johnson on the Sept. 8 episode, according to Michael Fairman TV.
What role do Lamont and Cedric Johnson play in ‘Beyond the Gates’?
In a video preview, Lamont and Cedric make an immediate impression on Dr. Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson), who is dating their sister, per Michael Fairman TV. The brothers appear skeptical of Ted, raising the question of whether he can win them over.
The Johnson family’s arrival expands the soap’s focus beyond the Dupree and Richardson families that have anchored the series since it premiered, as Michael Fairman TV notes.

Walker has appeared in numerous television series, films and stage plays, including Law & Order: Organized Crime and The Chair Company, per Michael Fairman TV. Dandridge has film and television credits including Street Code Broken, Coming of Age, ItFactor and The Dirty D, and is the great-nephew of actress Dorothy Dandridge.
