Karla Mosley Talks 'Big Adjustment' Moving Family to Atlanta for “Beyond the Gates”: A 'Sinking Feeling' (Exclusive)

Karla Mosley says landing the lead role in Beyond the Gates brought both joy and a "sinking feeling"

NEED TO KNOW

• During an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the actress opens up about how she navigated the "big adjustment" of moving her family of four to Atlanta for the role

• The actress also reflects on the honor of leading the show alongside industry giants, like Clifton Davis and Tamara Tunie

WhenKarla Mosleywas cast asDani DupreeinCBS'Beyond the Gates, she felt "complete joy and excitement," but also a "sinking feeling" in her chest.

The soap opera veteran tells PEOPLE that landing the role came with a mix of emotions. Mosley, who's mom to two daughtersAurora Imani, 7, andWilla Josephine, 4, with partner John Rogers, says leading a daytime drama was something she "worked so hard" to achieve. But along with "complete joy and excitement," also came the realization that she'd have to move her family of four from Los Angeles to Atlanta.

"[Nothing] against Atlanta, I just hadn't been there. It wasn't on my radar that that's where I was going to move. And I've moved so many times in my life as an actor, but never with a family," Mosley explains. "It was a big adjustment for everybody."

After spending over a year in the bustling Southern city, the doting mom says that her family has adjusted to the move. In fact, Mosley, who grew up in New York, admits that life in Atlanta has "grown" on her.

"The people are dope," she says. "We have got great community. My kids love their schools, so I'm like, 'Okay, there is a plan. God had a plan, [and] it's bigger than mine.'"

For Mosley, making the change was "worth it." She tells PEOPLE that seeing her face on the poster as one of the leads ofBeyond the GatesalongsideClifton Davis,Tamara TunieandDaphnée Duplaixis a "honor" that she will never take for granted.

"On those nights when I'm really tired and I have two scripts the next day, but I have to put my kids to bed, and I'm like, 'How am I going to get it all together?' I have to dig deep and figure out how to do it and to continue to do good work, because the thing about soap operas is it is very easy to get into a rhythm and to feel you don't have to do quite as much, but you get as much as you give," Mosley explains.

"That's a lot of material, and we only get one or two takes, so you're going to have some moments that don't quite go where you want them to go, and you have to be able to let those go," she adds. "But I want to have as few of those as possible because that's what it means to lead."

With every script she reads, Mosley says she sees herself in the pages and understands the impact of sharing authentic stories with the world. However, nothing reminds her of the importance of her role quite like meeting people who were positively impacted by what they saw onscreen.

"When I go to church or to the grocery store or I'm traveling and people come up and they reflect on their experience with the material... When they talk about their family members or their own journeys, those are the moments when I realized how important the work that we're doing is," she says.

With the soap opera in its second season, Mosley believes her character is exactly where she's supposed to be. She also teases that viewers will get to see a different side to Dani Dupree as the season progresses.

"She is kind of settling into the life that she's always wanted, what she imagined life would be like with Bill [portrayed by Timon Kyle Durrett], what she gave up her career for, she's now having all these years later," she shares. "She gets to have her career on her terms as someone who's more settled in her skin and she gets to have this love that's deep and fun and exciting, but also committed. And then she's also getting to be there for her mother."

"While Nicole [portrayed by Duplaix] is becoming a little bit more of the wild child, Dani [has] always felt like a black sheep in the family, the sort of unreliable one [and] the emotional one," she adds. "And now she gets to connect with her mother, .. and I think those moments are so special and really deeply important to her."

Drew Carey's Weight Loss: Inside the Comedian's Health Journey Since His Heart Attack Scare

Drew Carey revealed that he lost 80 lbs. in 2010

NEED TO KNOW

• The comedian and host of The Price Is Right said he was motivated to lose weight after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, along with a heart attack that took place in 2001

• He has relied on a low-carb diet and cardio workouts to sustain his weight loss

Drew Careyhas always been open about his weight loss and health journey, which began more than a decade ago.

"I was sick of being fat on the camera. Really, I just got sick of it,"The Price Is Righthost told PEOPLE in 2010. "Once I started losing weight, again, like once I started dropping a couple pant sizes, then it was easy 'cause once you see the results, then you don't wanna stop."

Though it's been 16 years since the longtime comedian dropped 80 lbs. and went from a size 44 to a size 33, he's been able to keep it off using his tried-and-true method of diet and exercise. Carey does "lots of cardio" and keeps most of his meals carb-free.

During a March 2026 appearance onTed Danson's podcast,Where Everybody Knows Your Name, Carey said he had a heart attack in 2001 but didn't realize what it was at first.

The day after he said his "heart rate went upto something really crazy" during a jog. At first, Carey brushed his symptoms off, but when he went to the hospital the following day, he learned that he'd had a heart attack and felt motivated to work on his health.

Here's everythingThe Price Is Righthost Drew Carey has said about his health and weight loss journey.

He prioritized his health after a diabetes diagnosis

During his first year as host ofThe Price Is Right, Carey told PEOPLE in March 2024 he would go out to a diner after filming and order pasta, a cupcake and an iced tea "with a bunch of lemons." Then he'd go home and eat Doritos, drink "several Pepsis" and take an Ambien before heading to bed.

"It wasmiserable to live like that," he explained, adding that his doctor gave him a wakeup call when he diagnosed him with type 2 diabetes. Carey said his doctor warned him that if he didn't change his lifestyle, his life was "going to be shorter" and that he would have "bad things to look forward to."

The formerWhose Line Is It Anyway?star was also diagnosed with heart disease in 2001 and had to undergo an angioplasty, perParade. He also had a stent inserted into one of his arteries.

He lost 80 lbs. in 2010

The warning from his doctor gave Carey the push he needed to change his lifestyle. He toldParadethat in November 2009, he had set a goal to go from 262 lbs. to 170 lbs. by the following year — and almost succeeded, losing 80 of the 92 lbs. he wanted to shed.

"I look in the mirror and I feel like I'm in my 20s again," he told the outlet in September 2010. "I feel like I have my whole life back. I could live to be 100 now."

He does cardio workouts multiple times a week

Carey also credits his choice of exercise for helping him maintain his weight loss. The comedian told PEOPLE he does 45-minute cardio workouts several times a week. Though those workouts began on the elliptical, he took up running after he lost weight.

"I knew having a running goal or a race coming up would give me a little more motivation," Carey toldRunner's Worldin August 2011. "I actually was worried about the pounding, but I actually love running more than working out on the elliptical. Now if I get on the elliptical, I feel like I'm trapped."

In August 2010, he ran his first 10K in nearly 25 years.

He joked he's lost "1,000 lbs." over his lifetime

As the host ofThe Price Is Rightcan attest, keeping the weight off year after year is no easy feat. He joked with PEOPLE that he's lost somewhere around "1,000 lbs." over his "whole life."

Though Carey has noted that weight loss left him feeling great, the best reward was the improvement in his health. In addition to shedding the lbs., the comedian reported that he had reversed his type 2 diabetes and no longer needed medication.

"I always thought I was going to die before I was 60," he toldParade."My father died of a heart attack in his 40s. I'm not an idiot. The writing was on the wall."

He said he mostly avoids carbs

As for his nutrition, Carey has kept the weight off by eating "no carbs." The former host ofThe Drew Carey Showtold PEOPLE that he stays away from "starches of any kind" and opts for protein like grilled chicken and snacks like vegetables and fruit.

Per theMayo Clinic, carbohydrates are part of a healthy diet and are needed to provide a source of energy for the body, particularly the brain.

He called his weight loss "freeing"

Carey has been able to maintain his 80-lb. weight loss "more or less" for over a decade. For him, the real victory isn't physical, but emotional.

"It's better being like this," he explained to PEOPLE. "I love myself enough now to want that for myself and desire that for myself. It's a whole kind of change of mindset that you have to have about your whole life. ... but once you do, it's so freeing."

Timothée Chalamet calls opera and ballet 'dying' art forms in resurfaced video amid recent controversy

A recently resurfaced video from 2019 shows Timothée Chalamet calling opera and ballet "dying" art forms.

Key Points

• The comments come in the wake of controversy Chalamet ignited after a February town hall, when he claimed that "no one cares" about either form of art anymore.

• Chalamet has been criticized by a wide variety of entertainers and institutions for the comments, from the Metropolitan Opera to Doja Cat.

Whatever hopesTimothée Chalametmay have harbored to leave the controversy over his recent ballet and opera comments behind have just been dashed.

TheMarty Supremestar and Oscar hopeful sparked tension with a broad coalition of arts institutions and the performers that support them when he remarked during a FebruaryCNN town hallwith Matthew McConaughey that he wouldn't want to be "working in ballet or opera" because "no one cares about this anymore." If anyone was offended by those remarks, he joked, it would probably only amount to a loss of "14 cents in viewership."

The backlash around Chalamet's comments hasn't died down, and a 2019 video of the actor that recently resurfaced on TikTok is poised to turn it up even further.

The videotaken by TikTok user @thealienstookover in 2019 and reshared on Saturday shows Chalamet speaking at an event intended to promote his historical dramaThe King.

"No 'woe is me' thing, but you start working on movies, you start acting, pursuing your thing," Chalamet tells the crowd. "I started getting the sense it was maybe opera or ballet or something, it's kind of like a dying art form or something."

Then Chalamet citedCall Me By Your NameandLadybird, the two films responsible for his transformation from working actor to sought-after star, which elicited a chorus of whoops from the audience.

Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to a representative for Chalamet for comment.

Those who work in ballet or opera have continued to react to Chalamet's initial comments.

New York City's Metropolitan Operashared a videoon March 6 highlighting the grueling work that goes into each elaborate production with the caption, "This one's for you," followed by Chalamet's official account tag.

Several cohosts ofThe Viewand the musician Doja Cat also criticized Chalamet's comments on March 9.

Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Sheryl Underwood took aim, with Hostincalling the 30-year-old actor"vapid [and] shallow," and Goldberg pointing out that both Chalamet's sister, Pauline, and mother, Nicole Flender, have dance backgrounds. "Be careful, my boy," she advised.

Doja, meanwhile,reminded her 27 million followersin a now-deleted video that "opera is 400 years old. Ballet is 500 years old." Despite her contention that "the industry is having a tough time," that "doesn't mean people don't care about it. People care."

Barrymore celebrated the renewal news in a statement provided toEntertainment Weekly. "What matters most to us is our viewers and the people that come here," she said. "This show began as a space for intimate conversation, and we're continuing to plant our flag as a truly multi-platform experience. We live in a world where people discover content in so many different ways, and from the very start in 2020, our mission was to break the mold rather than conform to the traditional daytime landscape."

Barrymore continued, "I hold myself accountable to staying savvy about how and where this show is seen — feeding every corner that counts, while daring to just be myself and figure out life with others. My curiosity about people is what fuels me. I'm so excited to continue as I see this endeavor as an opportunity and a gift."

Last month,Kelly Clarksonrevealed that she'd decided toendThe Kelly Clarkson Showafter seven seasons. She will continue to host through the fall.

"I want to thank you for laughing and crying with us," Shepherd said. "Thank you for supporting my unhealthy obsession with Lenny Kravitz. But I've got to tell you, when I first started, this show was built on one thing, and what I wanted it built on was joy. The intention of this show, always, was my prayer for you to leave happier than when you came. And you know this, I talked about this. It has been my dream to have a talk show, and I'm so grateful I had the chance to do it for four seasons."

Like Clarkson, Shepherd will continue to host through the fall. As for other daytime programming,Jennifer Hudson's talk show has beenrenewed for a fifth seasonand no decision has been announced aboutThe Tamron Hall Show, which debuted in 2019.
