TMZ reports that the FDNY informed the outlet that they responded to the location “for a female who was having trouble breathing.” At this time, it remains unclear if that female was Megan.

“Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honor. I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively, and theater is definitely a new opportunity that I’m excited to embrace. Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation and storytelling, but I’m up for the challenge and can’t wait for the Hotties to see a new side of me,” Megan reportedly stated about the opportunity.

Young and the Restless Early Spoilers April 6-10: Adam Faces Deadly Threat & Jack Loses Control!
Young and the Restless spoilers for April 06-10, 2026 reveal Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) is in danger and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) is increasingly frustrated.
As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then dive into what is ahead next week.
Young and the Restless Spoilers Wednesday, April 1st: Adam Plays Poker as Spyder
So, on Wednesday, April 1st, we’ve got Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) twitching like a junkie while Adam mentally prepares to be Spyder at Riza Thompson’s (Tina Casciani) big game. Adam is showing Nick his card shark skills where he can read body language and tells. And Adam knows something is off with Nick and offers his help, but he says that it’s just hard to wait to find Matt Clark (Roger Howarth).
The drug dealer shows up after Adam leaves for the game and Nick orders enough drugs for a party of six or seven people, but we know it is all for just Nick. The drug dealer hands over what he asked for, plus a bonus baggie with a different drug in it. Nick also asks if the guy knows Mitch Bacall, but either the drug dealer doesn’t know or he is playing dumb.
Also, Matt Clark is back on screen on Wednesday. He’s with Riza in her room in the casino and they’re making out. And Matt wants to hang around for the big poker game, but Riza says no. Matt then asked if he can play in the poker game and she refuses that as well. And he asked Riza about Spyder. So, Matt clearly doesn’t know that that is Adam’s secret identity. And then Matt insists he wants to meet Spyder, Riza’s partner.
Y&R Spoilers: Riza Kisses Adam
Matt gets antsy and bails and Riza is happy when Adam shows up and of course he wins big at the game for her. After the other players leave, Riza kisses Adam and tells him to slow down when he’s trying to get deeper into her business.
Riza tells him that she had to take on another partner after Spyder left, but she does want him to meet the guy, but doesn’t use Matt’s name. Also, you know, he’s asking to meet Spyder. So, there’s a big thing coming where I think Adam suspects this, but Matt is going to be blindsided.
Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) updates Faith Newman (Reylynn Caster) on a call that Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) can’t have visitors or Zoom chats yet. Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) shows up asking why Sharon’s upset. She nags Phyllis about the Newman takeover, brings up Summer Newman (Allison Lanier), but of course, Phyllis doesn’t want to hear it.
She says Victor Newman‘s (Eric Braeden) done all this bad stuff, so why is Sharon judging her? But she warns Phyllis that Victor won’t stop until he gets everything back. Phyllis is in her I can do it alone, I deserve this, I’m fabulous phase, and Sharon wonders if this is about what Martin Laurent (Christopher Cousins) did to them.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Phyllis Hurt by Sharon
Phyllis is actually annoyed that on the anniversary of their shared Martin trauma, Sharon didn’t reach out to her. Phyllis says Sharon has another maniac after her, Matt Clark. And Phyllis says her kids are hating on her again, so neither of them have come out of the whole thing unscathed.
Sharon says at least they’re free. And Martin is in a prison cell all alone. But Phyllis makes it clear she won’t back down and that the Newmans have each other and a mountain of money, so they’re fine. And Phyllis says she’s okay doing this alone.
Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) and Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) catch up at Crimson Lights. Mariah has gone to the psychiatric hospital and Daniel’s ranting about Phyllis and how Summer cut her out. Daniel says he’s also done with his mom. And Tessa’s frustrated that Mariah wouldn’t let her support her and go along to the psych hospital just to be close by.
Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) then shows up and sees Daniel and Tessa playing guitar together. And Danny wants them to cut an album and he even offers to produce it. And then he invites Tessa and Daniel to Spain to perform in a club. Tessa jumps at the offer. Daniel’s not sure about performing, but agrees to go to Barcelona. And Tessa and Daniel both agree they’re in the friend zone now.
Y&R Thursday, April 2nd: Nick Targeted by Matt
Then on Thursday, April 2nd, Nick is targeted by Matt, who I’m sure sent the dealer to sell to Nick and specifically to give him that bonus baggie, which I suspect contains something really, really scary that could push Nick off the edge.
Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) gets blasted by Phyllis for conspiring with Victor, for faking her and the twins’ kidnapping, and for hurting Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) so badly. Meanwhile, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) continues to defend Victor. I don’t think Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) is going to like this.
If you remember, Victor is the sole and only reason that Nate and Victoria split before. So, to be fair, Nate saw Victoria when she was being a megalomaniac who was so power-hungry she was screwing over her own family. And Nate still stuck around. But Victor is a big issue for him. Even though Victor and Nate have kind of said bygones about things, I think this is going to bring up a lot for Nate.


Young and the Restless Spoilers Friday, April 3rd: Diane and Kyle Confront Victoria
Then on Friday, April 3rd, we’re going to wrap up the week on Young and the Restless with Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) confronting Victoria. And if she repeats what she told Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) that it’s Jack’s own fault for what Victor did to him, I think they are going to go off on Victoria.
And of course, Kyle’s very angry with Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) about this as well. The Victor backlash is tearing relationships apart all over Genoa City. Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) walks up on Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) and Noah Newman (Lucas Adams), reflecting and talking about their past.
So, Sienna may question Noah, and I wonder if he’s going to bring up Audra’s miscarriage, and it may prompt a talk about babies since Sienna is a little too old to have any biological kids with Noah. Plus, on Friday, Victor makes good on a threat, likely against Cane.
But there’s a chance it’s against Jack or Phyllis, especially Jack since we know Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) remains in town and she is another partner in crime of Victor’s. Plus, Nikki talks Jack into something on Friday.
Y&R Spoilers Week of April 6th-10th Spoilers
Then, the week of April 6th through the 10th, we’ve got more on trouble in Vegas. Roger Howarth said in a recent interview that Matt’s been busy while the actor was offscreen. He’s plotting and up to no good. And Roger Howarth said Matt is still destructive as he ever was. He also mentioned being in scenes with new people. One of course is Riza, who we see this week and next week.
I expect to see Matt in scenes with Adam. Of course, Riza knows who Spyder is, knows he’s a Newman, but Matt has no idea that Riza was partnering up with Adam Newman. So, that’s going to be a really interesting conversation with Riza and Matt when it comes out. And Nick obviously is already on his radar and in trouble, but Adam is increasingly in danger as well.
Nate does not like this side of Victoria. Looks like she’s doubling down on defending Victor and Nate may take a step back because Nate laid into Lily about conspiring with Victor. I just doubt he’s going to appreciate Victoria continuing to enable her dad’s awfulness.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Crazy Patty Wreaks Havoc
Expect more chaos from Crazy Patty as she continues to cause problems for Jack and Diane. Lily drowns in regret. And despite Cane vowing that he’s done with Lily forever, soon Cane is going to make an effort and prove himself to Lily. Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) is determined to get Claire away from Kyle.
And Victor’s antics may actually help Holden’s cause because Claire is sticking with team Victor and Kyle has taken a step back with her. He’s not happy. Phyllis and Cane may reconnect over the Victor hate and her laying into Lily about him.
And also look for a couple of weeks when Victor’s not around because actor Eric Braeden was out sick for a couple of weeks. He’s all better now. Noah reassures Sienna not to worry about Audra, but Sienna is more focused on shutting down Matt before he hurts the Newmans. And Sienna may engage in some self-sacrifice.
Nick, Nikki and Jack strategize on how to fix their fractured marriages. Victor still off-put about Nikki defending Jack. Don’t forget Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore) is back in April. And after Billy Abbott‘s (Jason Thompson) back from London, he and Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) are going to make some significant plans.

Days of our Lives Early Spoilers April 6-10: EJ Drops Major Shock & Brady Wins Big!
Days of Our Lives spoilers for April 06-10, 2026 find EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) shocking somebody and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) scoring with a lady.
As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week, then dive into what is ahead for next week.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers Wednesday, April 1st: Holly and Tate Feel Vindicated
So, on Wednesday, April 1st, Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) and Tate Black (Leo Howard) feel vindicated. They already suspected that Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) swapped Holly’s drug bottle at Bayview.
And this week, Brady confirms it and tells Holly and Tate that Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote) said Sophia gave her the supplements and asks her to give them to Holly without bringing up Sophia’s name. Bottle number two. Bottle number one. They have now realized that, you know, Holly got tricked by Sophia.
Xander Kiriakis Cook (Paul Telfer) finds it difficult to be in the same room with Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey). And of course, it’s because Xander just is having a hard time letting go and accepting that she’s with Brady.
And at this point, Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) is definitely a consolation prize. Sophia gets an earful from Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk). She is livid that psycho Sophia used Rachel.
And I do wonder if Sophia will have any sort of remorse that Rachel is back to Bayview. I hope Sophia doesn’t try to go visit her. And I hope Kristen and Brady put Sophia on the ban list.
DOOL Spoilers: Gwen Breaks News to EJ
Gwen has some news about Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) that she gives to EJ. And of course, we know that Dimitri is now the main suspect in Vivian Alamain’s (Louise Sorel) mysterious death. But EJ may know even more about Dimitri’s situation since EJ is the one who had a bad bad thing done to Vivian.
But again, I’m with Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow). I don’t think Madame Vivian is dead. Also, we’ll see. But I wonder if we’re going to get any April’s April Fool’s Day pranks. I suspect not. The new headwriters seem to have dropped that nonsense that Ron Carlivati always did. They didn’t do it in 2025. So we’ll see if it happens this Wednesday.
Thursday, April 2nd on Days: Johnny Needs Another Favor from EJ
Thursday, April 2nd, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) approaches EJ needing another favor. Now that Kate wants a pile of cash to settle the copyright claim against Bonnie Kiriakis’s (Judi Evans) book. We know that Johnny is reeling and he’s told Kate that he would fight it in court.
So, I bet EJ will show up for his son because he wants Johnny to stay at DiMera and this Titan suit that Kate threatened probably means that Johnny can’t go back to Titan, which is great news for EJ.
Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) and Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) are talking business. And I just wonder if Gabi is going to offer Gabi Chic back to DiMera to get a cash infusion so she can help Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) save the family business and the Kiriakis mansion.
Bonnie gets an earful from Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth). He doesn’t see how Bonnie doesn’t understand that her book and Stephanie Johnson‘s (Abigail Klein) are way too much alike, as in copyright infringement alike. It’s not fanfiction and it’s beyond plagiarism.
Even Arianna Horton (Marissa Reyes) noticed the striking similarities when she was reading the manuscript. Bonnie asked Justin what he thinks about her book, and he tells his darling wife, Bonnie, that One Rainy Afternoon reminds him a whole lot of Stephanie’s book, One Stormy Night.
This could rip the Kiriakis family apart because of the chicanery around this. You know, it’s one thing for Bonnie to write something, but a whole another thing to publish it. And it never should have gotten this far.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Philip Turns to Maggie
Philip needs a favor from Maggie Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers). So, I wonder if Philip wants Maggie to help him pursue this lawsuit or just not to intervene and try and shut him down. You know, obviously she knows it’s going to be problematic.
Bonnie and Justin live at the mansion and Justin’s going to be really upset if he figures out that Bonnie was essentially set up by Kate and Philip. However, I do think Justin can see that the legacy and the Kiriakis mansion and everything is at stake, but he’s not going to want to see Bonnie roasted in public.
So, Philip is going to tell Maggie that Bonnie screwed up and her mistake could save Titan. And then Philip also tells Maggie they cannot afford the next loan payment. They could lose Titan. They could lose the mansion. But damages paid from DiMera for the copyright suit could bail them out.
Also, Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) questions Mama Paulina Price (Jackée Harry), and I wonder if it’s her asking why her mom has been so off-kilter lately. And we know that’s all about Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford).
Also, this week, speaking of her, EJ shows Theo that his mom, Lexie, is indeed alive. She’s not yet awake, though. And of course, Theo’s stunned, and I’m sure he’s going to be thrilled. He may have some questions, but overall, I think he’s just going to be happy.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers Friday, April 3rd: Stephanie Faces Off with Owen
Friday, April 3rd, Leo Stark’s (Greg Rikaart) writing reflects his achy, breaky heart, and Belle Brady (Martha Madison) is hurt a little that Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer) wants to stay with Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) instead of her or letting her come stay with him while she caretakes him.
And in case you have not heard, Elia Cantu has reportedly been pushed back to recurring as Jada, which mirrors Brandon Beemer’s status as Shawn. So, they may be coupling up mostly offscreen from Days of our Lives while he recuperates.
Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) gets an apology from Steve Johnson. They both want Stephanie to be happy and safe, but Alex Kiriakis seems to want Jeremy to step back and leave Salem, but he’s not going just yet. It’s going to be a whole another month before Jeremy goes.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Stephanie Faces Owen
Stephanie faces off with Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey). I mean, good for her for facing her kidnapper. And hopefully Stephanie can get some peace of mind. She closes the blinds, blocking Steve and Alex’s view so she can confront Owen in private after Jada brings him in and handcuffs him to the chair.
And I’m sure he’s going to be creepy as usual with Stephanie. JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) gets some advice from Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) to keep at the therapy for PTSD for the Shawn shooting event and him feeling like he had to resign. And hopefully JJ will follow through on all of that.
Week of April 6th-10th Spoilers for DOOL
The week of April 6th through the 10th. Just by the way, side note, in addition to Elia Cantu going on recurring status, Galen Gering has also gone recurring as Rafe Hernandez. That’s why we were seeing Gabi on a phone call with Rafe this week because he is not in town.
They’re just going to say he’s off doing FBI stuff, I guess. I have heard a rumor that he was going to wind up back with Jada eventually, but we’ll see if that manifests. And again, it may mostly be offscreen. Rachel wants out of Bayview so desperately, and I wonder if she’s going to tell Dr. Gregory what Sophia did and that she, you know, was saving up her psych meds and all that kind of stuff.
And the bottom line is because Rachel is involved in this, Holly is feeling a little trapped in terms of, you know, not being able to go to the police. But then again, they can’t really prove whose psych meds were whose because it looks like Rachel and Sophia were taking the same thing.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Brady & Sarah Heat Up
Gwen continues to enjoy her friends with benefits and cheeky fun relationship with Xander, but of course, his heart remains with Sarah. Meanwhile, Brady and Sarah are going to take their relationship to the next level and sleep together. Here’s my question.
With Rachel in Bayview and Kristen blowing up at the hearing and acting inappropriately, seems like Brady may need to boot Kristen out of his house if he is going to be getting intimate with Sarah. Now, of course, Brady can go over to the Kiriakis mansion. He was staying there before, but let’s face it, Kristen needs to go.
Gabi and Philip are looking to get a place together, a little love shack all their own. Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) and EJ keep getting closer, but with recast Chad, played by Connor Floyd, debuting in April, things are going to get even more twisted.
Leo chooses Javi over hot as heck suspected murderer Dimitri, but it turns out Javi already has a new man. So, was one of his exes still in Texas and they rekindled? Plus, Stephanie may continue to bond with Jeremy and we know Alex won’t like it.

Starfleet Academy’s End Reveals The Biggest Lie About Star Trek
By Chris Snellgrove
| Updated

Recently, Paramount made the surprisingly sudden decision to cancel Starfleet Academy shortly after the end of its first season. Starfleet Academy was designed to attract younger audiences, and it failed to do so. Its characters and storytelling drove away older fans while failing to capture that coveted youth demographic.
With any luck, Paramount will learn from this show’s failure and learn the truth behind the biggest lie in Star Trek. Namely, that the franchise must court younger viewers to survive. That’s never been true. In reality, simply following the blueprint for The Original Series is enough for new shows to attract both younger and older audiences, a formula that has worked for nearly four decades.
Fandom: The Next Generation

The most obvious example that the Original Series formula works is, of course, the success of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The show featured a new crew and new adventures, but at its heart, it was about the starship Enterprise and its mission to explore strange new worlds. We also got some entertaining new characters, but more of them are throwbacks to Kirk’s era than you might think.
The android Data was clearly meant as a stand-in for Spock, and like the legendary Vulcan before him, his attempts to understand what makes humans tick served as a reflection of our own humanity. Riker was (as confirmed by the Season 2 Writer’s Guide) modeled after Captain Kirk. Worf was an ongoing reminder of Kirk’s old nemesis, the Klingons. Dr. Pulaski channeled much of Dr. McCoy’s famous crankiness, and even wunderkind Wesley Crusher was an echo of Chekov, whom Gene Roddenberry created to appeal to younger audiences.
Simply put, Star Trek: The Next Generation very explicitly modeled itself after The Original Series. Its success was so (ahem) out of this world that it launched the franchise’s Golden Age. An era that ended only when Paramount finally began deviating from its winning formula.
Playing The Hits

It’s not hard to see how Star Trek: Voyager similarly built off the formula of The Original Series. As with TNG, producers once again focused on an intrepid crew constantly making contact with new and exciting alien life. The premise that our titular starship was stranded on the other side of the galaxy helped this show channel TOS even more explicitly by bringing back the vibe of going where (in a quite literal sense) no man had gone before.
There were, of course, parallels with TOS characters: Tuvok is Spock 3.0 (no, I’m not counting Xon, and you can’t make me!), and the grumpy Doctor is Dr. McCoy 3.0 (albeit a holographic one). Harry Kim was, like Wesley and Chekov before him, an attempt to appeal to younger audiences. Interestingly, Voyager shared significant DNA with the highly successful Next Generation: B’Elanna Torres was a new iteration of K’helyr, TNG’s popular half-human, half-Klingon. Seven of Nine was an ongoing reminder of Captain Picard’s assimilation. Finally, Tom Paris was very explicitly based on TNG’s Nick Locarno character, who was also played by Robert Duncan McNeil.
Even The Exception Followed The Rules

On paper, Deep Space Nine is the anomaly: as a show set on a space station, it is seemingly the antithesis of the Original Series formula. However, the early show still echoed the TOS focus of life on the frontier, and it echoed TNG more than you might think. The entire relationship between Cardassians and Bajorans was set up in TNG. It featured Miles O’Brien from the beginning, and it later added the fan-favorite TNG character, Worf.
Finally, by Season 3, Sisko had his very own starship with which to engage in adventures on either side of the wormhole. The addition of Worf and the Defiant made DS9 more like The Next Generation (itself an iteration of The Original Series) than ever before. Uncoincidentally, these changes also made the show popular enough to earn a dubious honor: it was the last Star Trek show to get seven seasons.
The Pattern Is Clear

Star Trek: Enterprise was infamously canceled after four seasons. Its first two seasons tried to follow The Original Series formula, though audiences didn’t cotton to changes like Vulcans (save for the hottie in the catsuit) being complete jerks. Season 3 tried to modernize the series’ formula by focusing on an ongoing story clearly inspired by 9/11. Season 4 righted the ship with some stellar episodes, but the damage was done, and the show ended with one of the worst finales in TV history.
The same thing happened to Star Trek: Discovery. While that show’s early days had its detractors, most fans agree that the first two seasons were the best. The show channeled TOS in some provocative ways, including illustrating the brutality of Starfleet’s earlier war with the Klingons and the horrors of the Mirror Universe. Audiences also loved the introduction of a young Captain Pike and Spock so much that they headlined Strange New Worlds, the beloved spinoff that is popular explicitly because it’s modeled so heavily after The Original Series.
Conversely, Star Trek: Picard didn’t get good until its final season, and that’s because it finally became one big cast reunion for The Next Generation. This season reunited our favorite TNG characters and even focused on familiar bad guys like the Borg. Fans loved this season so much that they practically begged Paramount to give us a Star Trek: Legacy spinoff series. Meanwhile, Starfleet Academy deviated from the formula entirely, focusing on different characters (young, vulgar cadets) and a different setting (the titular academy). Nobody begged for more; in fact, the show was canceled after one season due to low viewership.
The Blueprint Is There, Will Paramount Actually Use It?

There you have it, folks. While each new Star Trek series gives the franchise a new coat of paint, it’s clear that the most successful shows are the ones that draw heavily from The Original Series or its successor show, The Next Generation. Some worry that sticking to a 60-year-old blueprint means that things will get repetitive and boring, but that’s the brilliance of Gene Roddenberry’s amazing creation: it allows for endless different stories, technologies, alien races, and so on. Fans just want the characters encountering all of this to be in the vein of Kirk and Picard’s iconic Trek through the stars.
Now, Paramount is on the cusp of reinventing this franchise yet again. Doubtlessly, there will be plenty of internal debates about the direction new shows and movies should take. Sadly, NuTrek, with its astonishing failure rate, is a startlingly expensive example of what not to do. From the most hardcore fans to the most casual viewers, nobody wants another slick sci-fi show that is Star Trek in name only.
By sticking to Roddenberry’s successful blueprint, Paramount can reinstate a new golden age for the franchise. Otherwise, they risk destroying their most vital IP and fully driving away the fans they will so desperately need when the dust finally settles on these endless mergers and acquisitions. If that happens, though, the Star Trek fandom has a handy catchphrase they should go ahead and start practicing: “Kurtzman, when the Trek fell!”

A CW Show’s Best Episode Is Responsible For Star Wars’ Worst Movie
By Jonathan Klotz
| Published

Supernatural felt like it was on the air forever, 15 seasons and 327 episodes is an incredible run, but it’s even more impressive for a genre show. That’s why it’s hard to remember, but way back in the second episode, “Wendigo,” Alden Ehrenreich made his acting debut as the young Ben Collins, and while he’d go on to star in Weapons, Ironheart, and Beautiful Creatures, his most infamous role was no fault of his own. Ehrenreich starred as young Han Solo in Solo, the most unneeded prequel of all time, and a film that destroyed the entire Star Wars side-story project Disney had been pursuing, which is a little ironic, as his very on-screen role was so good, it helped turn Supernatural into the juggernaut it would become.
Sam And Dean Take On One Of Supernatural’s Best Monsters

“Wendigo” is the second episode of Supernatural. which means it had the task of setting the tone and format for the rest of the series. The pilot introduced characters, set up the world, and established stakes, but “Wendigo” was the first real Monster of the Week episode. Back before it was a battle against demons and angels, the show mined folklore and urban legends for its villains, and the Algonquian legend of the Wiindigoo, a ravenous, gigantic, emaciated cannibal, made for the perfect introduction to the Winchesters.
Alden Ehrenreich’s Ben Collins is wandering in the wilderness with his older sister, Hayley, as they try to find their other brother, Tommy, who went missing. Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) find the siblings, and thanks to their dad’s journal, deduce it was a Wendigo that took Tommy. The Wendigo they find isn’t a furry, bestial monster, instead it’s closer to the actual tradition, a strange-looking, gaunt, humanoid that has more in common with Slender Man than Big Foot, but it’s also one of the best-looking monsters of Season 1.

The episode plays out as you’d expect, with Sam and Dean losing horribly to the beast before they outsmart it and snatch victory from its ravenous jaws of defeat. Supernatural eventually got stuck in a rut with subsequent episodes playing out in the same fashion, but given its later seasons’ emphasis on the mythology arc, it’s refreshing to go back and see such a simple Monster of the Week story that lets Sam and Dean be, well, Sam and Dean, going up against a beast from classic folklore.
From All-Time Great To All-Time Flop
Following the success of “Wendigo,” Supernatural became a hit, and Alden Ehrenreich hasn’t had to stop working yet. Supernatural fans should at least check out Beautiful Creatures, based on the young adult novel of the same name, where he plays a teen who falls in love with a young witch. It’s Southern Gothic, giving it a sense of style and charm that what should have been his breakout film, Solo, completely lacks.

It’s not Ehrenreich’s fault that Solo was a failure. Asking him to play one of the most iconic roles in movie history that made Harrison Ford a movie star was an impossible task. The fact that he does as well as he does is a testament to his acting ability and his own natural charm. Solo was the victim of studio interference.
Supernatural had to overcome its own periods of studio interference, and its spin-off, The Winchesters, also had a rough start to production. Years after it finally came to an end, it’s fun to look back at the saga of Sam and Dean and realize how good we had it. Two brothers, a 1967 Chevy Impala, and a Monster of the Week became one of the greatest genre shows in history.

Everything to Know About RHOSLC Alum Jen Shah’s Legal Drama
Jen Shah was indicted for her alleged role in a long-running telemarketing scheme while filming season 2 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
Bravo viewers met Shah during season 1 of RHOSLC, which filmed in 2019 and aired in 2020. She quickly became a polarizing character on the franchise, with fans questioning her job and need for several assistants.
“People will come to me and I’ll invest in their companies, so we have got a lot of different investments, all different kinds of things,” Shah said of her career on Access Hollywood’s “Housewives Nightcap” in November 2020. “I’ve been able to do it because what I’ve been able to carve out, the niche I’ve been able to carve out in the direct response marketing world.”
Not long after production began on season 2 of RHOSLC — which also starred Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, Heather Gay, Lisa Barlow and Mary Cosby — news broke on March 30, 2021, that Shah and one of her assistants who appeared on the show, Stuart Smith, were arrested in Utah.
Every defendant in the case has pleaded guilty to their respective charges as of July 2022, when Shah became the final defendant to change her plea. She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud as part of a plea deal. After Shah was convicted, she was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison. Shah reported to prison in 2023, and was later released in December 2025.

Rashad Scroggins Confirms Their Breakup (Video)
Brittany Renner seemingly wants all the smoke behind Paul Jermaine Washington III, her son with PJ Washington. She went from jokingly defending him a couple of days ago to blasting his parental involvement. Things escalated when PJ seemingly took sides in the internet beef between Renner and his wife, Alisah Chanel. Meanwhile, some internet users found themselves on Rashad Scroggins‘ Instagram page.
After photos of their friends-to-lovers journey disappeared from their IG feeds, the people had questions under his other posts. This time, the internet clocked it. Scroggins told his followers he’s single and “dodged a missile.”

Brittany Reacts To PJ Washington’s Selfie With His Wife Alisah
After Brittany and Alisah’s back and forth on IG Stories and in The Shade Room’s comment section, PJ Washington seemingly stepped in. He reminded the public via his IG Stories that Alisah is the one — the ring is secured! After TSR posted the sweet selfie, Brittany hopped on her IG Stories to clock PJ about not replying to a message about their son, Paul. She had texted him, “What are your plans after the season ends? Did you have dates in mind you wanted to get Paul?” Washington seemingly hadn’t responded and the timestamps suggest Renner texted him a few days prior.
“Despite the dead eyes, I am glad to see your thumbs aren’t broken and you’re alive and well. While we have a moment, can we get back to the question at hand @pjwashington,” Renner wrote in her post.
Social Media Users Flood Brittany Renner’s Recent Boo With Breakup Comments
Brittany’s internet tussle with Alisah and PJ had folks on social media asking about her own love life. She and Rashad Scroggins debuted their relationship earlier this year. Last TSR reported, he had shared a post about their mountain trip in late December. Their sweet, and often joint, posts continued through Valentine’s Day. He was even in the podcast episode where she revealed she had dropped her child-related case in California against PJ Washington.
That podcast page is gone now. Also, sometime this week, their couples’ posts disappeared from their pages. And fans noticed. Two days he shared photos of himself on IG with the caption, “Everything should be cool.” Since then, the comment section has been flooded in with breakup speculation.
@juricafit wrote, “Big bro. She don’t want to be saved. Cole told us.”
“What happened? I liked you 2 together 😢,” @exceptionalerin added.
“Tell the truth, you knew what you were signing up for G 😅,” @earthtola_ commented.
“Why you deleted the pics of yall together?” @reginajackk asked.
@damsel_not_distressed added, “You got out in time! She’s already back to the messiness 🙄.”
“Females don’t understand that men get tired and fed up too! A man with boundaries is a different beast! 💪🏼,” @oohkathylee commented.
@gannicus_kd_wilson wrote, “U can’t call the girl trash now my n*gga the world tried to warn u and tried post how much u was in love naw take that L now @rashadscroggins.”
Rashad Scroggins Confirms He’s “Single,” Says He “Dodged A Missile”
Rashad Scroggins left his comment sections scrambled. Looking for answers. He even kept his cone of silence amid Brittany Renner blasting her ex-boyfriend and his wife. Then, on Tuesday (March 31), he finally spoke out on video and in the comment section.
In videos on IG Stories, Rashad shared a general message about life being “full of surprises and interesting at the same time.” Then, he admitted that he was “really loud before,” and it’s a switch-up to go quiet. To him, though, “some stuff is not worth you going forward it.”
“When you take that step back and there’s still chaos around the corner. When you enter somebody’s life, you hope to change, you hope to grow, you hope to make it better. I want to be better as a person, but some people, they just want to do the same thing over and over and over…they’re stuck in a loop and they can’t figure out that I need to do something different.”
He then told his viewers to never get stuck in life, and to keep moving forward. Up to that point, he hadn’t dropped any names and he kept the same energy in follow-up clips.
“I’m a big believer that idle time is the Devil’s playground. If you want to be a stay-at-home wife or you don’t want to work, you’re going to have issues. You have to do something with your time. I’m not saying stay-at-home wife is out, but you have to do something productive with your time. I pray for everybody, I hope they get happy.”
Rashad also acknowledged that he’s speaking in riddles and refused to get into specifics. He added:
“Mannnn, everybody told me,” before laughing. “My God look out for me man…I dodged a motherfing missile, do you hear me? I dodged all the ruckus…Thank you, thank you.”

In his follow-up, Scroggins said that people have to pay attention to what they have, including their own skills, rather than trying to eat off of what someone else has.
“Life is still gonna require you to do something or you’re going to feel an internal, deep hole that nobody’s gonna be able to fill. You’re going to think you need money, a jet, Rolls Royce, a chef, whatever you think that you need, it ain’t gonna be it. You need to figure out your purpose,” he said while filming outside. Adding, “To be clear, I’m single. I’m chilling, safe. Peaceful. Listening to birds. Just calm. Yes, that’s the story.”
Rashad said a lot of things transpired in a couple of days, but he didn’t go into details about what. Again, he never name-dropped Brittany Renner, but later made a reference to her. After defending the expression of his feelings, he said he was “kinda scared” to speak out because he wants “no smoke” with “her.” He said, “I just wish the best for her…but two things could be true.”
Rashad Scroggins announces that he’s single. As previously reported, he was linked to Brittany Renner last December as they shared moments from a trip to the mountains. (📸: @gettyimages) ✍🏾: #TSRStaffJW pic.twitter.com/D7a4tjwRle

Supergirl Goes Full-On John Wick In New Trailer
By Jennifer Asencio
| Published

The latest trailer for Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock, Jason Momoa, and Eve Ridley, has been released, and I take back everything I said about the previous teaser trailer. Everything about the old trailer indicated a disrespect for the Superman source material and a rebellious girl-boss operating under the slogan, “Truth. Justice. Whatever.”
Yet the new trailer, released March 31, 2026, reveals a lot more about the plot and the source of Supergirl’s anger. A story that was indicated to be about Kara, aka Supergirl, helping an alien girl named Ruthye avenge the death of her father becomes much more poignant when you know that the murderer has also poisoned Krypto, Supergirl’s faithful canine that she’s had since her days on Krypton.
Supergirl’s John Wick Arc
The dog is all she has left of her former home, since Kal-El is more like a human from living on Earth since infancy. Kara is a young girl grieving and literally the only person she knows who remembers her planet. Under those circumstances, she’d probably tell us to get over any problems we might have with her rebelliousness, and her John Wick reaction is just as forgivable as with the Keanu Reeves hitman.
The girl power theme from the previous trailer can now be forgiven now that we know the director is Craig Gillespie, famous for The Powerpuff Girls. Supergirl seems to ask the question, “What if Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls grew up, lost everything in Townsville, and is now in a race against time to save her beloved pet?” Ruthye seems to stand in as a demure Blossom, and there’s probably enough of Bubbles to go around for both of them. The style of the movie is signature Gillespie, a live-action rendering of his cartoon universes.
Jason Momoa Brings The Boom

There’s also plenty of room for the boys. Superman makes an actual appearance this time, rather than having his picture peed on by Krypto, and it is clear that he is worried about his cousin. He wants her to embrace the planet as he has, but she isn’t having any of it because she is too bitter about losing Krypton.
However, the objective highlight of the trailer is Jason Momoa as Lobo. If there was any actor born to play this role, it was Momoa, who looks exactly like his comic book counterpart. His perfectly fitting appearance is nothing compared to what we get to see of his performance during this trailer as he rolls in on his skull-adorned chopper to trade barbs with the movie’s heroine. If this trailer is any indication of what his performance is going to be like, it won’t be long before fans are clamoring for a stand-alone spinoff movie centered on Lobo.

Filled with color that hasn’t been dampened by sepia, bright explosions, and really cool outer space scenes, Supergirl looks a lot more promising the second time around than it did the first. Hopefully, it delivers on the promises of its trailer.
