Gh Alum Revisits Archive
Actor Jon Lindstrom surprised fans earlier this week when he took to Instagram to share a series of vintage snaps celebrating his long-running partnership with co-star Michele Valjean. The post, captioned “Good God, Michele, talk about raiding the archive! WOW, what a journey!! ❤️💥”, gave followers a behind-the-scenes look at moments from their time together on the CBS series Beyond the Gates (#BTG). Lindstrom’s carousel featured candid shots of the pair on set, off-duty rehearsals and early promotional stills, providing a fresh glimpse at a chapter of television history.
Instagram Frenzy
The throwback post quickly gained traction, racking up thousands of likes and a flood of comments from fans old and new. Many praised Lindstrom’s willingness to peel back the curtains on a beloved era in daytime drama. One commenter wrote, “These are priceless! Thanks for sharing, Jon.” Another added, “I forgot how great you two were on BTG — those chemistry shots are amazing.”
Michele Valjean, tagged in the post as @michelevaljean, is best known for her portrayal of Dr. Jordan Mathis on Beyond the Gates, a role that anchored some of the show’s most dramatic storylines. Despite the series wrapping its two-season run, the fandom remains strong, with viewers still exchanging clips and screenshots online.
More Beyond The Gates Memories
Lindstrom’s fondness for reflecting on his BTG days isn’t new. In another throwback-style announcement, he invited followers to a special event in Decatur, Georgia. “In case you’re lolling around Decatur GA on May 7, me and my writer friends’ll be talking ’bout stuff at this here book place. Hope to see you there!” he wrote, tagging @beyondthegatescbs and using #BeyondTheGates #BTG. Fans at the bookstore got to revisit the series universe through live readings and Q&A sessions.
His involvement with events extends beyond book signings. Just last month he posted about joining a panel at #ThrillerFest2025 in New York City, where he and fellow authors explored storytelling across genres. That post also featured #BeyondTheGates and #BTG, underscoring how the show’s themes resonate with thriller aficionados and daytime viewers alike.
Connecting Past And Present
Beyond public appearances, Lindstrom has leveraged his archive to shine a light on other collaborations. Earlier in the year, he shared a Flashback Friday post highlighting his role in the David Mamet film Henry Johnson. In that caption, he lauded Dominic Hoffman’s “transcendent performance” and even offered fans a chance to win a signed Mamet poster. This pattern of sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses reflects his dedication to giving audiences a fuller picture of the craft.
Known to many as Dr. Kevin Collins on General Hospital, Lindstrom has earned Emmy recognition and built a reputation as a versatile performer. By opening up his personal archives, he invites audiences to see the work, camaraderie and creative sparks that powered each project—especially the moments that defined Beyond the Gates.
Photos from his trek through memory lane are more than mere snapshots; they serve as time capsules, preserving both the glamour of production and the genuine friendships formed off camera. In an era when digital content can feel fleeting, Lindstrom’s posts underscore the value of archiving and celebrating past achievements.
Whether he’s celebrating milestone roles, hosting live events or simply sharing a laugh with co-stars, Jon Lindstrom keeps fans engaged with a blend of nostalgia and professionalism. His latest salute to Michele Valjean is part museum exhibit, part personal love letter to television history—and a reminder that, sometimes, the best stories come from digging into the archives.
