Bryton James Crosses Over from The Young and the Restless as Devon to Beyond The Gates

 

Devon Hamilton’s Big Move

Bryton James, who has portrayed Devon Hamilton-Winters on The Young and the Restless since June 2004, is set to make a temporary crossover to the CBS daytime drama Beyond The Gates. He will appear in multiple episodes as part of the first-ever crossover event between Y&R and BTG.

Devon in Fairmont Crest

In newly released promos, Devon is shown walking into the Fairmont Crest Country Club, greeted by Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) and Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) with the words, “Devon, welcome to Fairmont Crest!” This storyline ties into BTG’s reunion concert of the ’70s girl group The Articulettes—Anita, Sharon (Bonita Brisker), and Tracy (Maria Howell). Devon, as a music executive, is expected to assist in promoting the event.

What This Crossover Means

This marks the first time Beyond The Gates has incorporated a character from The Young and the Restless, confirming that the shows share a connected CBS soap universe alongside The Bold and the Beautiful. Fans have been buzzing over the crossover, praising its novelty and hinting at more crossovers to come.

Devon Hamilton’s Story So Far

Devon was introduced as a homeless teen taken in by the Winters family. As an adult, he discovered he is the long‑lost grandson of Katherine Chancellor. Over the years, he rose to prominence as a music executive and producer, and now has a son, Dominic, with Abby Newman.

When to Expect It

At press time, no official crossover air date had been announced. Promos suggest Devon’s appearance will happen during an upcoming storyline week, though the exact schedule remains unconfirmed.
