[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Outlander Season 8, Episode 3.]
Summary
In episode three of Season 8 of the Starz series Outlander, Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) had to step in to help a young Black girl whose mother was on the verge of giving birth to twins, as the result of a very high-risk pregnancy. While delivering the babies, it seemed as though one was not going to make it, until something inexplicable and possibly magical happened at the hands of Claire. Something that neither Claire nor Jamie fully understand, but that Claire will likely have to come to terms with before the final season is over.
During this one-on-one interview with Collider, Balfe discussed the experience of saying goodbye to a TV series that was such a huge part of her life for so many years, shooting different endings for the finale, how lovely it was to have a happy family reunion so early in the season, the presence of Frank Randall hanging over Jamie’s possible fate, shooting the bear mauling and the birth of Ian and Rachel’s child in the same episode, the fun of watching Claire and Jamie (Sam Heughan) bicker over what happened with John Grey (David Berry), the bond with Fanny, and what really happened when Claire saved that twin. She also talked about being unsure whether she’ll be doing any comedy or a musical in the future but mentioned her excitement over her next role in the period drama The Housekeeper.
Collider: Does it feel like you’ve wrapped this series ages ago now, or does it still feel very recent?
CAITRIONA BALFE: No. We wrapped almost a year and a half ago. These first few episodes we filmed two years ago, so that feels like quite a while ago. It’s weird, there was that first phase of saying goodbye to it all, and now this feels like the next phase.
If the you on day one of all this knew what the full journey would be and what the last day would be like and how it would all end, would you have even believed any of that?
BALFE: No. When I think back to 2013, when we started, it’s just so mad. I had no idea. And thank God, because I think I would have just been so overwhelmed with the idea that it was going to be the next 10 or 11 years of my life. But what a privilege. It’s just been such an amazing, wild ride. I just feel so grateful for it all.
It’s such an unusual experience because you do get to play this character so thoroughly and through so many years and parts of her life. Even if you do a series for a long period of time, you don’t typically get that kind of time span.
BALFE: Yeah. I think it’s 30 years of her life, and then within those 30 years, she crosses so many different decades. It was such an amazing privilege and an amazing opportunity. Shows don’t happen very often where you get to live with the characters for this long. It’s been an amazing journey.
‘Outlander’ Season 8 premieres March 6 on Starz.
You’ve also done very different types of projects between seasons and since the series has finished. Those projects have not only been very different from Outlander, but very different from each other. Do you know what you’re going to shoot next? Is there a genre that you’d love to work in that you haven’t gotten the opportunity to play in yet?
BALFE: I’ve never done comedy, but I don’t know if that’s in my wheelhouse. I’m probably not going to do a musical anytime soon. I’m so grateful that, in the last six months, I’ve gotten to do three different projects which were this amazing variety. And I’m about to start filming something in a couple of weeks. That, to me, is the real excitement, that I get to do these very different things. After being in such a long-running series, I’m quite cautious about signing up to something that’s a long time again, without knowing that I’m going to love it as much as I loved Outlander. To go back season after season to something, you’ve got to know that you are so invested and so in love with the character. I don’t know. It’s been a nice year since we finished.
Can you say what it is you’re shooting next or what kind of projects it is?
BALFE: It’s a period drama. It’s 1930s. It’s a film called The Housekeeper, and I’m excited about it.
We know that different endings were filmed for the show, and you didn’t know which would end up being used. How many different endings did you actually shoot? Were they very different? Do they all have the same feel to them?
BALFE: I don’t know the answer to that because there are some things that were filmed that I wasn’t a part of. For Matt, it was important that he got to choose what he wanted without the peanut gallery of all of us going, “We want this” or “We want that.” I think ultimately, we all just want the fans to be happy, and if we can achieve that, then that’s going to be the greatest thing. I do not envy the job that Matt had in trying to shepherd this to the end. Heavy is the load who wears the crown, right?
This is a series that has always gotten some happy moments before things get dark. This season, one of those moments is the reunion with Brianna and her family. What was it like to have that reunion and to have those moments happen so early on, with them all getting to spend time together again?
BALFE: It was so lovely. We hadn’t worked with Sophie [Skelton] and Richard [Rankin] in quite a while. We’d all been on these various different storylines, so it was like a real reunion. It was really exciting for all of us to be together. Maybe we were all messing quite a bit and being quite naughty. I think it was really important, in the last season, that the family comes together. It’s a very important thing for Jamie and Claire’s to feel the love of their extended family.
We see how hard it is for Jamie to see how much Frank Randall looked like Black Jack. He also learns that Frank has written about his death. Is it hard to escape something like that? Is that going to continue to hold a bit of a black cloud over the season?
BALFE: I think so. It’s really interesting, the kind of psychological terror that that brings to Jamie. Jamie’s reaction is one way, and then Claire has this other reaction to it. For her, she made this contract with Frank to put Jamie aside, to not go looking for him, and to forget about him, even though she couldn’t in her heart, and that they would raise Brianna as their own. And then, to find out that all that time, Frank had gone looking for him, potentially found him, and knew that he was alive and didn’t tell her. So, there’s this question mark over its validity. Is this a way of torturing Claire? Is it a way of keeping her in her other time? I think it’s very complex. This niggle of what could be is a very destructive element that goes into play.
In episode two, Amy gets attacked and mauled by a bear and Claire can’t do anything to help. It’s such a tragically sad moment because it’s so quick and so random. What was it like to shoot all of that? Is a moment like that particularly painful for Claire when she can’t change or stop what’s happening?
BALFE: Yeah. Any time she is unable to save somebody, it’s a heartbreak for her. What I thought was interesting about that is that you have this lovely moment between all the women, and it feels like a very pastoral, bucolic moment where they’re all just picking berries, and then you’re faced with the fact that, at any moment, life can be snatched away. The foreboding of that scene is that we have these very sweet, wholesome moments, and then the rug gets ripped from under you. That’s the Outlander way, in some ways, isn’t it?
‘Outlander’ Season 8 Stars React to Episode 2’s Major Arrival After That Brutal Death
John Bell and Izzy Meikle-Small also talk about what it was like to say goodbye when shooting for the series officially ended.
It was also such a very Outlander thing to balance out that death with delivering Ian’s son. Was it nice to share that moment together, and to have the happiness that comes with a family that wants their child and experiences that joy of life to offset this tragic death?
BALFE: Yeah. The circle of life never stops rolling. For Ian especially, who had lost children before, this moment between himself and Rachel is so beautiful. That they are now starting their family and that it’s within this larger family in this community is a really beautiful thing. And for Claire to be there and be a part of that and to be able to help in that way and be successful in helping, whereas she wasn’t with Amy, that’s all an important thing.
Claire, having been with Lord John Grey is something that comes up again this season in a very big way for Jamie and Claire. I always find it particularly interesting to see the moments when Claire’s more modern sensibilities still clash with how Jamie views things. What do you love most about where they’re at together in this final season?
BALFE: I think those scenes are very funny, and Jamie is very funny in them. And who can blame him, really. Claire is very like, “God, are you not over this yet? Come on!” Give him some slack. It’s not the easiest thing to get over. There are the funny moments when Brianna finds out. You see that Claire enjoys the humor of the situation slightly too. I think Jamie should be given more credit for how understanding he’s been, or is trying to be, because it’s not an easy thing for anyone to get past.
I love the moment went Brianna says, “I don’t have to call him da now, do I?” I just thought that was the best.
BALFE: It’s very funny, yeah.
This season, we also get to see Claire form a relationship and bond with Fanny. It’s so interesting to see where that’s going because you can see Fanny’s interest and curiosity in things, and she clearly likes Claire and Jamie and wants to be part of this family, but she’s also seen more than someone her age should ever have to. What was it like to find that relationship? What did you enjoy about finding that between them and working with that young actress who just has the most expressive face?
BALFE: Isn’t she incredible? Florrie May Wilkinson is just brilliant. When she joined the show last season, we were all like, “Holy shit! This girl has got chops.” It was great. It was great that the writers knew that they could give her this weightier material and that she would be more than capable of handling it all. The storyline, in some ways, with having Fanny and the family and Claire and Jamie building a relationship with her, is helping heal their wounds from Faith. And then, for Fanny, or for Frances, she has seen so much. She has been so traumatized. It’s hard for her to trust, and it’s hard for her to let our guard down. There’s this very tentative building of confidence and trust between them. I think they just want to provide her with this loving family. They’re tiptoeing around how much they can pry and how much they can tell her. It’s lovely. She’s interested in what Claire’s doing, and she’s very bright. She’s just a beautiful addition to the show, I think.
There’s something so magical about just watching her reactions to things without even having to say anything.
BALFE: She’s a very, very talented young actress. She’s really incredible.
‘Outlander’ Season 8 Trailer Teases a Tragic Fate for Jamie and Claire’s Time-Travel Adventure
Season 8 will be the flagship romance series’ last.
In episode three, Claire gets approached by the young Black girl whose mother needs help because she’s pregnant with twins. What was all that like to figure out? Claire delivers these children and she’s able to save this little girl that she thought was dead, but she doesn’t really quite understand why or how. What does all of that mean to Claire and for Claire?
BALFE: Good questions. There’s always been these special energy moments within Claire’s life. We’ve seen them peppered throughout the show. She’s a time traveler. She’s had these connections to things and these understandings of things. We never knew why she was able to [do] these things or not. With the babies, it’s quite a shocking moment, but I don’t think it’s necessarily out of the blue. For Claire, how does she come to terms with the understanding of what has happened? It’s a further evolution of other things that have happened in her life. I’m not sure that she fully understands it yet, at this point.
What would you say than to tease what fans can expect from the remainder of the season? The first three episodes set up a lot of things that will continue to come up. How do you think fans will feel throughout the rest of this season?
BALFE: To tease some of the stuff, I think they returned to the Ridge because they wanted to protect themselves and their family from the world events that were going on around them. But you can only hide from things happening like that for so long. Sometimes the inevitable just has to happen. As we know, the war can come to their door. Eventually, they’re going to have to face a lot of things and not just try and hide from it.

Dakota Johnson is so chic that even something as simple as her phone case can become a covetable item. Lucky for Us, this is an accessory that is also super affordable — we managed to find the exact same one she uses, and it’s as budget-friendly as they come.
The actress was recently spotted walking through Los Angeles, rocking a relaxed post-gym look while clutching her phone. Upon closer inspection, we were able to find the cover she used to protect her device: the $15 FireNova Magnetic Silicone Phone Case, which is a favorite among Amazon shoppers as well.
Get the FireNova Magnetic Silicone Phone Case for $15 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
We love this phone case because it’s both cute and functional. Made of super durable silicone, it’s scratch-resistant, won’t crack easily and has a pleasantly smooth feel that is never slippery. There’s also a soft microfiber lining that ensures your phone stays damage-free underneath, even if you’re less than gentle with it. The design is compatible with MagSafe as well, so you can easily use it with magnetic attachments.
While Johnson’s color of choice — a deep plum shade that feels so on trend — is currently on sale, you can also choose between more than 25 other hues. The same style is available for iPhone models 13 through 17, including Pro and Pro Max sizes.
Aside from celebrity fans, the case is being hyped up by more than 26,000 five-star ratings from happy Amazon shoppers.
“I’ve ordered this case in multiple colors,” one shopper wrote. “My phone never cracks when I drop it and they don’t wear out with time.”
Plus, it even comes with some fun extras. “It came with an additional screen protector and cleaning/prep kit, stickers and a personalized note from the seller,” one reviewer noted.
For just $15, this sleek phone case is a steal. We love the minimalist look and the fact that the silicone wraps around everything, so every inch of the phone is protected. It also doesn’t make your phone feel heavier or bulkier, which is a nice bonus. If you’ve been on the hunt for a new iPhone case, this Johnson-approved pick is definitely worth trying.

“The Martian” writer breaks down the film’s final moments.
Roomies, Latto has the internet buzzing heavy right now—and not just because of her big life update. Somehow, her name is already being pulled into unexpected conversations, and let’s just say… the reactions are coming in fast. Meanwhile, Le’Veon Bell is also trending after inserting himself into the chat, leaving folks confused about where this energy even came from.
On Friday, Le’Veon Bell took to X shortly after Latto shared news of her first pregnancy and posted a message that quickly caught attention. He wrote, “Latto just announced she’s pregnant by a married man with 3 kids and made it part of her ALBUM ROLL OUT .. and that’s who today’s women look up to? we’re doomed.” While it’s not clear what prompted him to come for her like this—or where he got his claims from—social media users are definitely side-eyeing him, with many questioning both the timing and the tone of his comments.
It’s official — Latto is about to go full Big Mama! After weeks of speculation swirling online, she confirmed she’s expecting her first child on Friday, March 20. She also dropped the music video for her new single, ‘Business & Personal,’ on YouTube. And don’t sleep — she also teased that more music is on the way as part of her third album, ‘Big Mama,’ set to drop May 29.
In the video, Latto fully leans into mommy mode. She’s seen rapping in a nursery, working on a painting, decorating the space, and finally giving fans a peek at her growing baby bump as a man gently rests his hands on her stomach. His face remains a mystery, but fans are already speculating he could be her rumored partner, 21 Savage. From there, Latto embraces her Big Mama era completely, rapping lines like, “Car seat, got a kid on the way!” — proving this next chapter of her life is personal, powerful, and absolutely iconic.
Folks quickly ran to X, and the timeline lit up with reactions. Some users backed him up, saying they agreed with his take, while others argued that Latto isn’t obligated to be a role model for anyone. Meanwhile, plenty of critics dug into his past and clapped back at his own public choices, calling out the double standard.

Navigating perimenopause in the middle of Texas heat has made one thing painfully clear — sleep just doesn’t come the way it used to. Thankfully, I’ve discovered a few tricks for getting a decent night’s sleep, and the best one is a linen bed set that actually keeps me cool enough to keep dreaming all night long.
I’m a huge fan of Quince’s affordable‑luxury finds, from their cashmere sweaters to their everyday basics, but their linen bedding has become my new favorite home decor find. Whereas I was once sweating it out under layers that were either too heavy or too flimsy, this luxe duvet cover set has that oh-so-perfect softness and breathability that makes my whole bed feel like a sanctuary, not a sauna.
Get the European Linen Duvet Cover Set at Quince! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
Far from being just a comfortable addition to my home, this European linen set is also a designer’s dream. I’ve been slowly refreshing my home decor in little ways the past few months, from light fixtures to ceiling fans and more, but this bedding upgrade has made the biggest visual impact in my home. I’ve seen similar linen sets from brands like Serena & Lily, Piglet in Bed and Restoration Hardware, but Quince has that same elevated, airy look and feel without costing hundreds and hundreds more.
Woven from 100% European flax, the breathable linen set is customizable depending on color, size and whether you want to add shams. Unlike those haphazard duvets that let your comforter slide around and bunch up (the worst!), this one comes with interior ties that make it easy to keep everything in place — even if you toss and turn all night, like me. It stays put, breathable and cool, which is more than I can say for most bedding I’ve tried in the Texas heat.
I’m partial to Quince’s gorgeous gingham bedding — especially the lavender — but the set also comes in solid shades like dusty mauve and oat, plus newly debuted on‑trend hues like butter yellow and rose. For the ultimate experience, you can even add their viral European linen sheets to your rotation.
Much like in my own household, this top‑selling bedding set has become a staple in many happy homes, with shoppers calling it ‘perfect for summer,’ ‘so soft,’ and ‘absolutely stunning.
“The quality is immediately noticeable—the linen feels soft, breathable, and has that perfect relaxed texture that makes the whole bed look effortlessly elevated,” one reviewer raved. “What really stood out to me is how comfortable it is. It keeps me cool at night without feeling too light, and it somehow gets even softer with each wash.”
Whether you’re desperate for a nighttime cool‑down or just craving that effortless-but-affordable designer look, this breathable, beautiful linen set delivers both — no major renovation required. Shop the duvet set now while your favorite color or print is still in stock.

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania’s daughter, Gabby Catania, and her boyfriend, Mike Tallia, are officially engaged.
Taking to her Instagram on Friday, March 20, Dolores confirmed daughter’s happy news by sharing a photo of the romantic proposal.
The carousel of photos showed Tallia getting down on one knee to present a ring to Gabby during a snowboarding vacation in Aspen.
“When your children are little, you think about so many things for their future. I never imagined both of my kids would be engaged at the same time,” Dolores captioned the post, adding, “Congratulations to my @gcatans & @mike_tallia!!! 💍🤍”
Dolores, 55, shares Gabby, 30, and her brother, Frankie, 27, with ex-husband Frank Catania, whom she was married to from 1994 to 1998.
Gabby is the latest member of the family to get engaged. Frankie previously proposed to his girlfriend, Nicole Perricho, in February 2025.
“Can’t find the words to depict how much joy we are all feeling since yesterday,” Dolores captioned Instagram photos of the proposal at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. “My little Frankie, with a heart full of love and a lifetime of memories ahead of him, proposed to his amazing girlfriend, Nicole, and we couldn’t be happier!!”
“Thank you to everyone that helped and made this day absolute perfection,” she added. “Here’s to forever, Frankie and Nicole!”

Dolores also revealed that she was hiding out in plain sight ahead of the proposal.
“Me incognito waiting for the proposal,” she wrote via her Instagram Story, sharing a video of herself outside the church wearing oversized sunglasses and a face mask.
Frankie, for his part, gushed via Instagram at the time: “An absolutely amazing day celebrating such a special engagement! Thank you so much to everyone for the congratulations and warm wishes!”
Less than nine months later, Dolores announced her own engagement to boyfriend Paulie Connell in November 2025 after nearly five years of dating.
“I’m ecstatic!” she told People at the time. “You know when you feel that happiness down in your gut? That’s where this excitement stems from for me. I feel so blessed, I almost feel guilty! Like I don’t deserve to be loved this way.”
Paulie chimed in to assure Dolores deserves “so much more” than she thinks.
“She’s an incredible woman,” he continued. “And when I was proposing to her, I was able to articulate to her everything I see that she is and everything I see that she does and the impact she has on everybody around her. She’s one in a million.”
Paulie popped the question at the New Jersey Apple Store where the pair first met.
“I didn’t want anything over-the-top and staged because we’re a humble couple,” he explained. “I wanted it to feel grounded and natural and organic. Plus, I wanted the element of surprise. And believe me, I had the element of surprise.”
Dolores confirmed she “had not a clue” Paulie planned to get down on one knee.
“In fact, I thought I was going to have to call an ambulance for him!” she joked. “He was sweating so bad, his T-shirt was soaked, his face was beet red. And you know how people say weird things when they’re having a stroke? He started saying these sweet, beautiful things to me out of nowhere, and I was like, ‘Paul, are you OK?’”
Life just got a little rowdier for The Righteous Gemstones and DMV star Tony Cavalero and wife Annie Cavalero after welcoming their first baby.
Us Weekly can exclusively reveal that the couple’s first child arrived earlier this month.
“Actor Tony and jewelry designer wife Annie Cavalero are overjoyed to announce the birth of their first child, a son, Rowdy Baria Cavalero, born on March 11, 2026, at 9:39 p.m.,” a rep for the new parents told Us in an exclusive statement on Friday, March 20.
Rowdy weighed 8.4 pounds and measured 20 inches long.
Tony, 42, and Annie, 40 — who met while performing at The Groundlings in Los Angeles — welcomed their son “after a deeply personal journey spanning nearly a decade, including nine rounds of IVF.”

“Following a brief but brave stay in the NICU, he is now home in his parents’ arms already living up to his strong and spirited name,” Tony and Annie confirmed to Us, adding, “In a full-circle moment, Tony and Annie manifested his name, Rowdy Bear, eleven years ago at their wedding.”
When Tony and Annie tied the knot in 2015, they posed in a photo booth photo with a large sign that read, “Rowdy,” foreshadowing their choice for their baby boy’s moniker.
Both Tony and Annie are comedic actors, with Annie also working as a jewelry designer and comedy writer.

Tony, meanwhile, is best known for playing Keefe Chambers on The Righteous Gemstones from 2019 to 2025. He has been playing Vic on DMV since last year.
In August 2025, the couple celebrated their 10-year anniversary with Tony sharing a video montage of their life together via Instagram.
“💛10 years my love 💖Let’s keep being silly little geese and do 100 more and beyond! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY @anniecavalero 🫶 Honestly the luckiest man in the world!,” he captioned the video.
That same year, Tony and Annie took fans inside their Hollywood Hills home in Los Angeles for House Beautiful.

“We wanted to restore it to its Hollywood Regency glory as best we could, while incorporating our own personal touches and tastes,” Annie told the outlet of their six-bedroom, five-bathroom pad, which features bold wallpaper and bright colors.
Tony gushed, “Annie’s everywhere in the house,” from the crystals her grandfather found to her late uncle’s chandelier hanging in the hallway.

While the pair were open about their home, they chose to keep their pregnancy journey private. Shortly after welcoming their son, Tony took to social media to celebrate his wife on her birthday.
“Happiest Birthday to MY ABSOLUTE WARRIOR QUEEN 👸🏼 @anniecavalero,” the Big City Greens alum wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, March 17. “🫶 you are my whole heart and a gift 💝 to us all!”
Free streaming windows rarely stay open for long on ad-supported platforms, and one of the “catch it while you can” thriller films, a gritty, Australia-set crime thriller headlined by Star Wars icon Ewan McGregor that’s currently sitting on Tubi, is set to leave the platform soon.
The film’s placement in the leaving carousel on Tubi soon indicates that the title will rotate out at the end of the month, making this a short, practical watch window for anyone who likes tight prison-to-heist thrillers and wants a McGregor performance that isn’t filtered through Jedi iconography. What makes the film worth the last-chance urgency is the specific mix: it starts as a prison survival story (JR, a teen offender, trying to stay alive and relevant), then pivots into a mentorship trap as McGregor’s criminal protector demands repayment. It’s a familiar genre chassis, but the execution is sharper than its forgotten status suggests. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 63% from critics and 62% from audiences, with consensus praise for its grittiness, style, and as a strong change of pace for McGregor.
The movie is 2014’s Son of a Gun, and the irony is that it’s far more of a hidden gem than its cast deserves. The film reportedly cost about $12 million yet only grossed around $660K, which explains why many people never even heard of it the first time. That commercial whiff is exactly why a free Tubi run matters.
Lights, Camera, Retraction — The Collider Movie Quiz!
Sometimes actors quit; other times they’re fired. On this first day of spring, we’re recalling some famous roles that got a fresh start with a recast.
Son of a Gun isn’t a traditional heist film because the score is never the point; it’s leverage. The movie is structured like a corruption story disguised as a crime thriller. JR doesn’t join a crew to chase money; he gets pulled into a criminal ecosystem where every favor is a hook, and every plan is a test of obedience.
Even when the narrative shifts to break-ins and robberies, the camera treats the action as a consequence of a relationship, mentor/protégé, captor/captive, rather than a puzzle to be solved. Where a classic heist sells competence and control, Son of a Gun sells instability, paranoia, and the slow realization that the real threat is the man offering protection.
Son of a Gun is set to leave Tubi soon. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Netflix has revealed that season 3 will be the show’s last.
blue bloods usweekly‘s Marcus Scribner explained why he wasn’t necessarily satisfied with the season 1 finale.
“I don’t want to say if it’s satisfying or a cliffhanger — but I was not satisfied because I want more,” Scribner, 26, quipped while speaking exclusively to Us Weekly. “I won’t say why, but it was a very interesting ending.”
Scribner noted the audience will learn “more about” his character, Jonah, before the season comes to an end, adding, “We get some cool pairings, which is really dope. We switch things up a little bit and [have] some fun guest stars as well, which I know a lot of people are excited for.”
Despite the need for more, Scribner called the upcoming finale a “great” ending. “It just left me wanting more,” he concluded.
Before Boston Blue, Blue Bloods followed the lives of the Reagan family, many of whom work for the NYPD under the leadership of NYC police commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck). Frank’s father, Henry Reagan (Len Cariou), was also central to the show, alongside Frank’s children: daughter Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan) and sons Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Jamie Reagan (Will Estes).
The show aired from 2010 to 2024 before CBS announced a spinoff. Wahlberg’s character is at the center of the spinoff, which picks up as the former NYPD officer takes on a position with the Boston Police Department. He is then paired with detective Lena (Sonequa Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.

“I hadn’t watched Blue Bloods prior to joining Boston Blue, but I heard a ton about it from my relatives. It’s been a cultural phenomenon for years and years. I — of course — had heard of the show, and then I started to dive into it,” Scribner told Us. “Then getting to know Donnie even further — and seeing how different he is from Danny Reagan — is crazy.”
He continued: “Taking some of those characteristics from Danny Reagan, I was trying to infuse them into my character, Jonah Silver, who is a bit of a hothead like Danny. He goes against the grain to do what he thinks is morally right, which has been very exciting.”
Joining the Blue Bloods universe — and introducing the Silver family — has allowed Scribner to push himself as an actor.
“It’s been very, very interesting. I recently rediscovered myself as an actor. I feel like for a while I was trying to push myself to the side and do something different,” he told Us. “But it’s been very fun to ground myself in this universe.”
Scribner praised his Boston Blue costars for inspiring him, sharing, “Acting is so weird because it really is so much receiving. So being on the show and being around these amazing actors is so nice because you barely have to do any work. I’m just listening to them, and it really builds this feeling in you and you just get to respond.”
He concluded: “It’s a lot of fun. It’s definitely been challenging and cool getting to do a lot of physical stunts and all those things. I was involved in a car chase recently — an explosion — and all this crazy stuff. So it’s been really cool.”
Boston Blue airs on CBS Fridays at 10 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.
Latto’s pregnancy announcement has taken over the internet, and while fans are staying busy hunting for clues, they peeped something that many didn’t see coming. It looks like Keyanna Joseph — the alleged mother of 21 Savage’s oldest kids has seemingly reacted to the rapper’s baby news, and now fans are wondering what that simple heart really means.
Roommates, if y’all have been keeping up, then you already know the internet was working overtime trying to prove Latto stepped into her Big Mama status with one kid! Folks went just as hard on that rumor as they do trying to keep their credit scores up. At first, the Atlanta raptress made a quick return to social media after being off the grid for a minute. On Thursday, March 19, she dropped a short visual showing just her shoes and feeding a baby cheetah. While folks tried to figure out if she teased new music or a baby announcement, it turned out to be BOTH!
Now, hours after Latto’s bombshell reveal, fans peeped something else. They spotted Keyanna Joseph, the mother of 21 Savage’s two eldest kids, liking Latto’s teaser clip. Now everybody is wondering… was that a cosign, or was she just confirming Latto and 21’s relationship?
Latto hasn’t officially confirmed that 21 Savage is the father of her child, but fans think she dropped clues all through her ‘Business & Personal’ video. A mystery man with tattoos similar to Savage’s pops up in the visuals, and folks swear they spotted his baby pics in the scrapbook Latto was putting together. The ‘Georgia Peach’ femcee might be stepping into her Big Mama era, but 21 already holds it down as a dad of three. According to PEOPLE, he reportedly shares two kids with Keyanna Joseph — his firstborn, Kamari, and his second child, Ashaad. He also has a daughter named Rhian. The ‘Bank Account’ rapper keeps his life with his kids private, but he’s made it clear he “always wanted to be a father” and “feels like that’s where your legacy really counts.”
Hours after the raptress broke the internet with her pregnancy reveal, she dropped a heartfelt message on Instagram, sharing more photos of her baby bump and thanking her family and loved ones for their support as she navigates her journey to motherhood.
Before that, fans got a closer look at her baby bump when she hopped on a livestream just minutes after her ‘Business & Personal’ single dropped. She told fans she already shed tears and made it clear she’s a cool, hustling mom, because she’s gearing up to drop her album on May 29.
“Thank y’all! I already cried. She continued, “I ain’t doing no more crying, I’m a gangster. I’m a mother first and I’m a gangster right after.”
