Carlivati shared the news on his Instagram Stories, stating:

“A quick career update from me: I recently wrapped my stint as a writer on Beyond the Gates, the hot new soap opera on CBS created by the incomparable Michele Val Jean. When Michele called last August and asked me to join her team, I jumped at the chance to be a part of the launch of this groundbreaking and historic show. After recently finishing Season One (200 episodes!), I decided to leave to pursue other projects, but I am beyond proud of what we accomplished and beyond grateful to Michele and to Executive Producer Sheila Ducksworth for this extraordinary opportunity. Wishing them and everyone at Beyond the Gates a long and successful run.”

Carlivati’s involvement helped establish the tone and momentum of Beyond the Gates, a series praised for its inclusive storytelling, diverse creative team, and innovative approach to the soap opera format. Teaming up with Val Jean and executive producer Sheila Ducksworth, Carlivati played a key role in getting the series off the ground and into viewers’ daily routines.

A highly respected figure in daytime television, Carlivati has been nominated for nine Daytime Emmy Awards, taking home wins in 2008 for One Life To Live and 2018 for Days of Our Lives. His signature style—layered plots, emotional payoffs, and sharp dialogue—has made him a fan favorite and one of the genre’s most influential modern writers.

While his time with Beyond the Gates may be over, Carlivati made clear he’s not stepping away from storytelling. With his next move yet to be announced, fans and industry insiders alike will be watching to see what comes next from the Daytime Emmy winner.
