A father in Florida has been arrested after his 9-year-old son found his gun and shot his 5-year-old brother in the chest.

Robert Giles has been charged with one count of culpable negligence by leaving a firearm within easy reach of a minor, according to Manatee County court records viewed by Us Weekly.

The incident took place at a residence in Palmetto on March 25. Deputies reported to the home after they received a report about a “shooting with injuries,” according to an arrest warrant obtained by Law & Crime. When law enforcement entered the home, they allegedly found a 5-year-old boy “suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper chest.”

The charging documents stated that a bullet “traveled through his body, striking his clavicle and piercing his lung before exiting.”

Investigators ultimately determined that Giles’ son “located a firearm inside the primary bedroom” and then accidentally “discharged” the weapon, “striking [a boy with a different last name] in the chest.”

It was also concluded that the 9-year-old boy never intended to find the gun. Instead, the older boy “stated he entered his father’s bedroom while searching for Pokemon pens,” according to the warrant complaint. “While searching, he located a firearm on the floor under the bed.”

Giles, 36, told deputies that the gun, which was identified as a Canik 9 mm, had been stored in a nightstand next to his bed. Additionally, he said that the weapon was stored with “a round in the chamber but without a magazine inserted.”

The defendant allegedly said he was in the kitchen when “he heard a loud ‘pop’” and discovered the younger boy had been shot in his chest near his right shoulder.

Giles then “stated he subsequently secured the firearm by placing it in a safe.”

As the officers walked through the home, they observed blood in the hallway that appeared to have originated “from the primary bedroom,” per the warrant.

It’s believed the bullet traveled through a wall of the bedroom, into an outer wall and out of the residence, per the warrant. As the search of the home continued, investigators found the gun in a safe within the home.

“Inside the residence, a large gun safe was located in a secured condition,” the charging document stated. “Upon opening the safe, deputies observed a Canik 9mm handgun lying on a shelf with a magazine next to it. Multiple additional firearms were also present inside the safe. This safe was within the same room in which the shooting occurred, and within ten feet of where [Giles’ son] located the firearm.”

A Florida man has been arrested for fatally shooting his stepdaughter after she allegedly criticized his manners. James Pelzer was taken into custody on Sunday, April 19, and was charged with one count of dangerous and depraved murder without premeditation in the death of Alanda Cuffee, according to online jail records viewed by Us Weekly. […]

Investigators determined a spent casing was still in the chamber and the gun was collected as evidence.

“The firearm was not secured in a manner that would prevent access by a minor,” the charging document said. “[Giles son] described in his interview to have located the firearm under the bed and mentioned nothing about removing it from holster or any other secured location.”

The warrant stated that the accidental discharge of the gun caused “serious bodily injury” to the 5-year-old, stating he “was intubated for approximately five days and remains hospitalized while recovering from his injuries.”

Giles was arrested on April 2 and booked in the Manatee County Jail. He was later released after he posted a $2,500 bond.

He appeared in court on Friday, May 15, and entered a not guilty plea, Us can confirm. Giles’ next court date has not yet been scheduled.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is sharing an update on his communication with Nancy Guthrie’s family.

More than 100 days after Savannah Guthrie’s mom was reported missing in Tucson, Arizona, Nanos revealed to People that “I personally am not” in touch with the family.

Instead, ongoing contact with Nancy’s relatives is handled through other investigators on the case.

“If they need the family for anything, they get in touch with them and the family,” he said in an interview published Thursday, May 14. “It works both ways.”

Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson neighbors are still “feeling on edge” as the search for Savannah Guthrie’s mom reaches 100 days. “I write this message with a very heavy heart as our friend and neighbor, Nancy Guthrie, remains missing,” a Monday, May 11, newsletter written by the President of the Catalina Foothills Association, Will Pew, reads. “On […]

As Nancy’s family continues to wait for answers, Nanos said he understands the frustration surrounding the case. At the same time, he confirmed that local law enforcement and the FBI continue investigating leads with the goal of reuniting Nancy with her loved ones.. (A $1 million reward also remains in effect for information leading to the recovery of Nancy, 84.)

“The public is frustrated. Even the Guthrie family,” he said in the interview. “Every passing second must feel like 100 days because they don’t know. What matters is moving forward carefully so we don’t make mistakes or falsely accuse somebody or make a bad arrest.”

During a March interview with Today’s Hoda Kotb, Savannah, 54, was asked how her family felt about the way the investigation was being conducted.

“Well, it’s still going and people have worked tirelessly, tirelessly,” Savannah said. “And we see that. But we need answers. We cannot be at peace without knowing and someone can do the right thing. And it is never too late to do the right thing. And our hearts are focused on that.”

Nancy was reported missing on February 1 after not attending a virtual church service. Although police have yet to name or identify any suspects, Nanos previously shared that the Guthrie family has been “fully, 100 percent completely” cooperative.”

Instead, police believe Nancy was taken from her home against her will. The FBI previously released photos of a masked assailant approaching her front door in the middle of the night.

Before you see Pedro Pascal in The Mandalorian and Grogu this summer, you should find out where he came from. One of his earliest successes was in an underrated sci-fi Western thriller called Prospect, released in 2018.

It’s an intriguing and scrappy film that began as a Kickstarter-funded short. If you want to check it out for free, you can stream it on the Tubi platform.

Prospect follows a man (Jay Duplass) and his teenage daughter, Cee (Sophie Thatcher), as they land on a forest moon to mine for gems. On the moon, they run into two rival prospectors, Ezra (Pedro Pascal) and his silent partner (Luke Pitzrick). While initially hostile to each other, they decide to join forces to uncover the legendary “queen’s lair,” which is a dig site rumored to be filled with riches.

Much like The Mandalorian, Pedro Pascal is teamed up with a young ward in Prospect, though under decidedly different circumstances. Both Pascal and Thatcher give great performances, which helps to carry the tight budget on which the sci-fi was made. It’s not a sci-fi laden with special effects, but if you love a good character-driven piece, this might be the right film for you.

When Pedro Pascal starred in Prospect, he was best known for his roles as Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones and Javier Pena in Narcos. It was just before he rocketed to superstardom in projects like The Mandalorian, The Last of Us, and the upcoming Fantastic Four. As you might expect, Pascal gives a riveting performance as a prospector whose intentions are, at times, hard to read. 

The story before Pedro Pascal’s casting in Prospect is pretty interesting, too, as the directors and writers of the film, Zeek Earl and Chris Caldwell, were mostly making commercials and short films through their Shep Films banner at the time. Eventually, they secured $21,000 on Kickstarter to make a short film of Prospect, which garnered attention at the SXSW Film Festival and became a viral hit on Vimeo. They would then get $4 million from Canadian BRON Studios to turn it into a feature-length production.

With $4 million still being a tight budget for a film, they then got access to a former ship-building warehouse to make many of the practical ships, costumes, and weapons for the film. It’s safe to say that nowadays, they wouldn’t have had the budget for Pedro Pascal to star, so it’s definitely cool to see him in a more indie-level project like Prospect. The film ended up getting pretty positive reviews, too, making it an overall success. 

Pedro Pascal’s Prospect is a perfect weekend double-feature pairing with Disney’s new, big-budget Star Wars adventure.

General Hospital 2-Week Spoilers for May 18-29, 2026 see Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) struggling to find Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) so that Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) doesn’t fall apart. Plus, Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) may take a really big gamble to protect her son.

We’re also going to see some interlopers caught out at Wyndemere, Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner) having a complete breakdown and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) facing the music for brutally assaulting Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) with so many witnesses watching. Let’s jump right into it.

General Hospital Spoilers Monday, May 18th – Ava Questions Nina

On Monday, May 18th, Ava wants to know why Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) is so close to Brennan suddenly just out of nowhere. So, it looks like Nina’s with Ava and tells her she was up at General Hospital checking on Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna), but the question is exactly how much will Nina reveal to Ava. Plus, Joss makes an unpleasant discovery and Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) tells Josslyn she’s not going anywhere and she tells him we’ll see.

Cassius thinks he’s keeping her safe by having her there under the radar. But if Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) realizes Cassius has Joss, they’re going to want to know why, and she may be dead meat. Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) questions Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) about what’s going on with her and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). And I wonder if Justine’s going to tell Jordan they’re sneaking around and having a little affair. She had an inkling but didn’t know all of the deets. I also wonder if Jordan presses Justine about Isaiah’s case.

GH Spoilers: Laura Delivers Disappointing Update on Anna

Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) has an update on Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) for Mac Scorpio (John J. York) and Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). And Laura tells them that she’s afraid that Anna is in more trouble than they thought, which is pretty bad since she’s already in bad trouble. We should be getting new scenes with Finola Hughes pretty soon. Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) yells at Curtis as she checks on her injured boyfriend and Isaiah’s down. He’s in pain.

Looks like somebody calls the cops because new detective, Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett), shows up and makes an arrest. With that many people seeing the assault, Curtis is cooked unless Isaiah decides on the spot not to press charges, which I doubt. The question is, you know, obviously, why wouldn’t he press charges when Curtis is openly plotting against him for something he didn’t do?

Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) brings Emma her favorite cake to give to Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) to thank him for the New York trip. And Felicia is also grateful to Gio, but Emma accidentally breaks this mug she made for Anna when she was 10. And Emma is distraught because it was Anna’s favorite. But this is all clearly about Emma missing her grandma Anna so much. And we’re gonna see Emma breaking down to Felicia and telling her she thinks there’s something really wrong with her. Meanwhile, Gio’s with Sonny and tells him that he gets to tell Gio, I told you so.

General Hospital Spoilers for Tuesday, May 19th – Valentin Regroups & Emma Distraught

Tuesday, May 19th, Valentin has a new idea. He may be pitching a new strategy to Carly on how to locate Josslyn since Jack is still comatose and can’t give them answers. And even when he wakes up, we know he doesn’t have any since he didn’t put Joss anywhere. Rocco Falconeri‘s (Finn Carr) frustrations boil over. He’s worried about Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) and Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke). He’s worried about Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud).

Everything’s too much. Rocco threatened to rat them out if they try and go to Wyndemere, but looks like they’re going to go behind his back. Gio is very supportive of Emma. She’s sitting on the floor crying this week. Gio’s down there with her. Very worried. Emma’s at a breaking point over Anna’s absence. Dante sets things straight with Detective Joe. I love seeing Dante in commissioner mode. And Curtis brings Jordan up to speed. So, she may have to go down and bail Curtis out since he assaulted Isaiah in public. I’m also wondering maybe if the doctor intentionally goaded Curtis into attacking him or if Isaiah is just sick of Curtis like most viewers are at this point.

General Hospital Wednesday, May 20th – Britt Makes a Huge Choice

Wednesday, May 20th, May sweeps ends. That day, we have Britt making a really big decision. She and Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) just ran through their options while they were boozing, and Britt considered giving up on the Cold Fusion project or running off, but Lucas doesn’t want Marco Rios’ (Adrian Anchando) sacrifice to be for nothing. They really want to find a way to tell Sidwell that Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) stabbed Marco. Valentin clashes with Carly, so she may not agree with his plan to find Josslyn. Also this week, Ava and Sidwell walk in the door at Wyndemere and are stunned. So they may stumble across Charlotte and Danny out there snooping.

Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) needs help from Ava. So, if it is indeed the teens out there, Sidwell may have Danny and Charlotte arrested and we could see Alexis asking Ava for help to clear this matter up. Danny is proving to be a real handful for his grandma Alexis. Lulu gets a promise from Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean Parsons). I’m sure he wants to be there for his sister Lulu. And I’m curious if she confides in Ethan about what Rocco did. Hopefully not because Ethan seems to have some hidden agenda. And we don’t know whose side he’s really on.

Nina is stunned. And Willow Tait Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) may actually give Nina back the syringe that she was using to blackmail her because there’s a scene up at Willow’s office this week with Nina and a syringe in hand. You know, Willow chewed Nina out at General Hospital because she was up there checking on Brennan, and Willow said Nina was going to mess things up for them. But maybe she had a change of heart. The worst case scenario is Willow’s giving her a syringe full of paralytic and wants Nina to go inject Brennan again to buy more time. Or maybe it’s to give Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) a dose. We’ll see.

GH Spoilers Thursday, May 21st – Alexis is Demanding Answers

Thursday, May 21st. Alexis wants answers. And I suspect it’s about why Danny was at Wyndemere, if that is who Ava and Sidwell walk in on. Britt has a new source of stress. And it may be Sidwell demanding her presence at the lab. Lulu is already ready to make a big move. And this is probably one more thing to make sure Rocco’s protected. The primary issue now is Isaiah being questioned about where he was the night of the wreck when he was at her house. Ethan drops in on Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliott). Looks like Ethan’s looking for any excuse to get a peek at baby Phoebe, according to a recent interview with actor Nathan Dean. Dante summons not-Nathan to come talk to him. And I wonder if this is about the Curtis and Isaiah mess or about Rocco and Lulu.

General Hospital Spoilers Friday, May 22nd – Willow Gives Good News

Friday, May 22nd, Willow has good news for somebody. Could be Drew, Nina. Maybe she’s reassuring Sidwell. And Britt shares some information. I hope she finds a way to tell Sidwell what Cullum did without getting Lucas killed. And Cassius is pleading with someone. So, he may be trying to get Lulu to take him back. And, you know, we did hear him tell Joss that he has actual feelings for Lulu. So, we’ll see. Plus, Laura’s reaction stuns Lulu. So, I wonder if she’s looping in her mom on the Rocco situation or talking to her about protecting Isaiah.

GH Spoilers Week of May 25th-29th – Lulu Prepares for the Worst and Curtis in Trouble

Then we go into the week of May 25th through the 29th and Lulu is going all out for her son, doing everything she can to protect him, and that heightens in this week. And if Charlotte really did go out to Spoon Island, then Lulu has another kid crisis when she doesn’t really have the bandwidth right now. Isaiah doubles down on his innocence. Curtis may face serious consequences unless he can cut a deal. Honestly, I hope he doesn’t get a deal.

Portia knows that Curtis is accusing Isaiah of nasty things. She may try and leverage his assault on Isaiah to get things to go away, but I think we know Curtis isn’t going to stop. And I don’t think at this point Isaiah is going to stop goading Curtis after he attacked him. Alexis has her hands full with Danny. Britt is planning her next move with her life on the line no matter what. Rocco is going to be her primary concern. Willow and Nina do some more strategizing and Carly and Valentin continue to work to find Josslyn and we’ll get an update on Brennan’s status.

Bold and the Beautiful 2-Week Spoilers for May 18-29, 2026 excite as Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) in a rage because she didn’t get her way and her husband is not backing down. Plus, Katie Logan (Heather Tom) is backpedaling as she worries about wreaking havoc, but things may pivot again soon.

So, we’re going to talk about the aftermath of Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) pressing Brooke to steal Steffy Forrester‘s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) job. Plus, Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) is again facing sister pressure. Two jobs may be at risk and two familiar faces return. And lots more happening. Let’s jump in!

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Monday, May 18th: Steffy Taken by Surprise

All right, on Monday, May 18th, we’ve got somebody catching Steffy off-guard. Now, we know Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) is gonna go up and visit Steffy at Forrester Creations, and it looks like he brings Hayes Forrester (Bryan Garlick) along with him because the kid is back this week in several scenes. I’m sure Steffy is going to vent about Brooke having Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) try and demote her and take her job. Steffy should also find out this week how upset Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) is to be on the back burner riding shotgun to nepo brat RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti).

Ridge faces Brooke’s wrath over not getting Steffy to give Brooke her job. It’s clear the real issue is that Hope is not in an equivalent position to Steffy at Forrester Creations. You heard Brooke on Friday saying it’s not fair because they both grew up around Forrester Creations and yet Steffy’s in power and Hope’s not. I don’t think the sign on the door says Logan Creations. It’s FC, not LC. And Ridge did bring home a new dress to his muse Brooke, but I don’t think that trinket is going to be enough to chill her out. Brooke is going to keep pushing, but Ridge seems to stand firm with Steffy keeping her job.

B&B Spoilers: Dylan Tells Remy to Go Away

Miss Dylan (Sydney Bullock) tells Remy Pryce (Christian Weissman) to respect her wishes, and what she really wants is for Remy to stay away so he doesn’t mess up her and Electra Forrester’s (Laneya Grace) recently repaired friendship. However, Remy is appalled that Electra and Dylan hugged it out and are friends again. And Remy’s attitude is that Electra made a big deal out of nothing about the deep fakes he did. And Remy’s offended and insists he’s not a threat.

But Dylan wants him to stay away. I think Remy is going to tell Dylan that if she convinces Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) to take him back, that’s when he’ll go away quietly. Also this week, Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) is complaining to Katie and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) after Hope insists that she’s gonna try and make it work at FC. Liam says it is a nightmare for Hope and Bill reiterates that Hope needs to leave that dusty old-fashioned house and come over to Logan.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Tuesday, May 19th: Zende Questions His Future

Then, on Tuesday, May 19th, we’ve got Zende talking through his future at Forrester Creations. Now, this may be with Steffy or it may be with Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) since he was venting the other day about his designs basically being on the scrap heap. It looks like Zende is in a similar position to Hope, but treated with slightly more respect because he’s a Forrester. Steffy wants him to be patient and a team player and is promising a better outcome down the road. But the question is, can Zende wait and will he?

Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) sees Brooke in a new light. I’m excited Taylor’s back. I’m hoping we’ll get an update on her and Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) but I think Taylor’s going to be furious that Brooke tried to push Steffy out of her position of co-CEO at Forrester Creations. And Taylor may mention that she’s glad she gave Steffy her shares to protect her from another attack by Ridge trying to fire her specifically because of Brooke. Just a quick look back if you don’t know the story.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Ridge Blindsides Steffy Once Again

Back in the 2010s, Ridge forced Steffy to make a tribute video about Brooke that they were going to play at a big event. And Steffy did make a legit nice video even though she didn’t want to. But somebody else edited in some sex scenes showing Brooke doing the deed with Hope’s boyfriend, Oliver Jones (Zack Conroy). So, the tape played at the event. It shocked everybody. Ridge assumed that Steffy did it and he fired her on the spot, but it turns out that Liam was the one who edited in the sex tape footage.

He had actually kind of accidentally recorded the sex and then Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears) forced Liam to add that footage into the actual nice video that Steffy had made. So, Justin was the ultimate culprit, but Ridge jumped to a conclusion as he likes to do and he fired Steffy and that’s why Taylor gave her the shares to make sure he couldn’t blindside Steffy again.

So, once again, this is a Brooke situation where Ridge is basically looking to fire her because that’s really what a demotion is. Hope’s upset when Brooke tells her that Ridge would not make her co-CEO. And I’m betting Hope is gonna push and tell Brooke, “Find a way to make it happen because it’s what you deserve.” When really, it’s about what Hope wants. So, I gotta wonder if Brooke goes over to talk to Eric Forrester (John McCook), seeing if he might side with her to replace Steffy as co-CEO. I just don’t see Brooke or Hope taking Ridge’s no for an answer.

B&B Spoilers Wednesday, May 20th: RJ & Zende Play Nice

Wednesday, May 20th, is when May sweeps wraps up, and we’ve got Katie questioning exactly why she wants Hope at Logan. You know, she’s considering is she trying to hurt Brooke? And then Katie and Hope have a warm moment with Bill and Liam there. So Katie may talk it through with Hope. Katie does want her there, but she really doesn’t want a civil war with her sister on Bold and the Beautiful.

Zende and RJ set their issues aside for the sake of Forrester Creations, but I’m not sure Zende is really okay with this. Also this week, Brooke is up in the CEO office and Steffy is facing off with her and Ridge. So, will Steffy play nice and reiterate the offer to make Brooke the face of Forrester Creations, or is Steffy going to lay into her for the sketchy move she made?

Bold and Beautiful Spoilers Thursday, May 21st: Hope & Steffy Battle

Thursday, May 21st. Hope wants answers from Steffy, and things get heated. She’s tired of Hope not accepting the fact her line has to wait and they don’t have a date for when it’ll be back. Steffy may call Hope out for pushing Brooke to try and grab her job because Steffy already told Ridge that she’s pretty sure Hope is behind this Brooke power grab because of the timing. Electra finds out something stunning. She may find out Dylan and Remy are cousins or the cousin secret may drag out longer and maybe Charlie finds Remy lurking at Forrester Creations and Electra is going to freak out.

Friday, May 22nd on Bold: Steffy May Fire Hope

Friday, May 22nd. Hope’s future at Forrester Creations is uncertain. Steffy is of course upset that Brooke made this power play. And if Hope keeps on poking the bear, Steffy may decide enough is enough. Hope’s a pot stirrer who stole the company from them and her line wasn’t even doing that well. And she may decide this is it. I’m tired of it. Show her the door. Will puts his heart at risk. And I suspect he asked Electra to forget RJ and choose him. But will she?

Week of May 25th-29th on Bold and the Beautiful: Hope Makes Life-Changing Decision

The week of May 25th through the 29th, Hope makes a decision about her future. She’s tired of being back-burnered and if her schemes come to nothing, she may walk out or she may push Steffy so that she makes the decision for her and tells her it’s over. Zende is going to be impacted by the decision that Hope makes. If she walks out, then Zende may follow Hope.

Electra’s reeling from the prior week’s revelation. Remy remains determined to get Deke back and keeps pressuring Dylan. Taylor and Brooke’s feud may reignite. I expect Taylor to say some things to Brooke for trying to manipulate Ridge into screwing over Steffy. RJ won’t let Electra go and she’s going to have to officially decide between the guys soon. She can’t keep stringing them both along.

Deacon should be back soon since Taylor has new scenes. Brooke’s not happy with Ridge and may try and find a workaround to get what she wants, but it’s really what Hope wants. And some quick casting news. Of course, I mentioned Hayes Finnegan is back this week and Charlie (Dick Christie) the security guard is also back this week.

Do you want to see The Pitt have a night shift spin-off? Well, according to Noah Wyle, we don’t want one, but what if we do? Wyle, who stars in and executive produces The Pitt, is pretty strong in pushing back on the idea of a night shift-focused spin-off, arguing that fans are already getting the right amount of those characters. That’s the problem with a good TV show. People immediately want more and more of it, and not just new episodes; they also want more corners of the world, side characters’ backstories, and spin-offs. The Pitt has officially reached that stage, which is both a compliment and a warning sign. But Wyle isn’t convinced by it.

Speaking on the A Lot More podcast, Wyle said, “I said off-handedly the other day that I think we’re getting enough night shift. And I think you want more, but you’re getting what I think is appropriate.” The answer wasn’t exactly well received by fans, and Wyle said he was criticized for sounding “patronizing and pretentious,” but he doubled down on the basic point. “I still don’t think you need more night shift. Those are great characters. It’s a wonderful energy.” So it’s not a complete no, but given the power Wyle wields behind the scenes on the show, it’s fair to say if he’s not up for it right now, then it’s not going to happen.

Wyle has his reasons, though, because he explained that the team has spoken with real emergency room night shift workers, and the reality may not be as wild as viewers assume. “You know who works mostly night shift? Mothers,” he said. “Because they like to be free for their kids [and] to be home during the day. So, it’s a lot less wild and woolly, and a lot more boring and sedate than you would think.” Wyle’s biggest concern, though, is protecting the show itself. He said,

“I’ll say personally, I feel like when you have something that’s a really good thing, and it’s working for you, you don’t want to dissipate it too quickly. You don’t want to bleed it off into other narratives and franchise it out, because I think you kind of dilute the potency a little bit and you get everybody overfamiliar with the arena to where it loses a little bit of its specialness.”

Who Stars in ‘The Pitt’?

The Pitt stars Tracy Ifeachor (Quantico, Treadstone) as Dr. Heather Collins, Patrick Ball (Law & Order, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Dr. Frank Langdon, Katherine LaNasa (The Campaign, The Frozen Ground) as Dana Evans, Supriya Ganesh (Grown-ish, Fresh Off the Boat) as Dr. Samira Mohan, Fiona Dourif (The Master, Curse of Chucky) as Dr. Cassie McKay, Taylor Dearden (Sweet/Vicious, Breaking Bad) as Dr. Melissa “Mel” King, Isa Briones (Star Trek: Picard, Goosebumps) as Dr. Trinity Santos, Gerran Howell (Catch-22, Suspicion) as Dennis Whitaker, and Shabana Azeez (Birdeater, Metro Sexual) as Victoria Javadi, Shawn Hatosy (The Faculty, Alpha Dog) as Dr. Jack Abbot, Ayesha Harris (Daisy Jones & The Six, This Is Us) as Dr. Parker Ellis, Jalen Thomas Brooks (Walker, Animal Kingdom) as Mateo Diaz, Brandon Méndez Homer (The Good Doctor, Jane the Virgin) as Donnie, Kristin Villanueva (The Offer, Law & Order: Organized Crime) as Princess, and Joanna Going (Wyatt Earp, Runaway Jury) as Theresa Saunders.

The Pitt streams on HBO Max.

Prime Video’s Off Campus series is the only thing anyone can talk about — but before season 2 comes out, fans can get more from the Briar University boys with Elle Kennedy’s books.

Kennedy kicked off the Off-Campus book series in 2015 when she published The Deal, which the first season of the TV series is based on.

“I would hope that book fans go into it with an open mind. The fandom for this series tends to be positive. They love these characters and they love this world,” Kennedy told Us Weekly exclusively before the Off Campus show premiered in May 2026. “I just came back from a book tour and literally every stop it was just constant excitement.”

She added, “I do think that they’re going to love it. I hope that they’re going to go into it knowing some things have to change in an adaptation. But they’re going to get the same feeling that they got when they read the book.”

The Deal follows college student Hannah Wells, who promises to tutor hockey captain Garrett Graham and, in turn, they kick off a fake relationship to make her crush jealous. Throughout the book — and the show — fans get introduced to other members of the Briar University hockey team, who have their own stories.

Keep scrolling for a complete guide to Kennedy’s Off-Campus book series reading order:

What Is the ‘Off-Campus’ Book Series Reading Order?

The Deal is the first book in the series, telling the story of Hannah and Graham. It’s followed up by The Mistake, which is John Logan and Grace Ivers’ story. The third book in the series is The Score, telling the story of Allie Hayes and Dean Di Laurentis. The fourth book, The Goal, follows Sabrina James and John Tucker.

The fifth book in the series is titled The Legacy, a compilation of four novellas that give readers updates on all four couples featured throughout the Off-Campus series.

The Chase follows Dean’s sister, Summer Di Laurentis, and Colin “Fitzy” Fitzgerald. The Risk is a romance following Brenna Jensen, the daughter of the Briar University hockey coach, and Jake Connelly. The third book, The Play, is Hunter Davenport and Demi Davis’ story. The last in the series, titled The Dare, tells the story of Taylor Marsh and Conor Edwards.

What Is the ‘Campus Diaries’ Spinoff Series?

Kennedy has since written a second spinoff series, featuring the next generation of Briar University students.

The Graham Effect follows Hannah and Graham’s daughter, Gigi, and acts as the first book in the series. The Dixon Rule has Gigi’s BFF Diana Dixon as its protagonist, and The Charlie Method follows Charlotte Kingston.

Nikki Glaser admitted in a resurfaced clip that her boyfriend isn’t into her “weird fetish” of hooking up with others.

According to the comedian, even though she likes for him to step out and meet other people, she can’t do the same because that will constitute a “breach” for him.

Nikki Glaser previously caused a stir when she revealed that she doesn’t mind her boyfriend making out with other girls and that she even encourages him to do so.

Glaser previously opened up about the boundary in her romance with boyfriend Chris Convy that she can’t cross.

Having spoken out about how she finds it stimulating if he steps out and hooks up with other ladies, a resurfaced clip on X captured the moment she appeared on Gwyneth Paltrow’s “The Goop Podcast” in March 2025 and revealed she can’t do the same because he isn’t into things like that.

“If I’m in a monogamous relationship, I might have that flutter with someone and like indulge in it, but it can’t go beyond that,” she told Paltrow, who pressed her, asking, “Why can’t it go beyond that for you?”

“He’s not into that, and like would be a breach for him, so it’s not like a two-way street, which I think is fair because … he doesn’t even want this like my weird fetish,” Glaser explained, per Star Magazine. “The strange thing is he’s like ‘I don’t need anyone else or crave anyone else, I’ll do it if it turns you on.’”

Glaser and Convy have been dating on and off since 2013, and the comedian has always been open about their relationship dynamic.

During her chat with Paltrow at the time, she explained that she’s “reluctant” to talk about issues like that because men may often think that’s what they want, but she’s found out that most of them “want to be kept.”

“For every person I’ve ever been with, it has always been like a part of foreplay for me to hear about other women, like almost the courtship process, I like the ‘will they, won’t they,’ like how did you know, like I’m really horny for that,” she said.

Glaser admitted, “That’s a part that I struggle with of being in a relationship with someone forever that I’m never going to have that again.”

Nikki Glaser Revealed She Likes It When Her Boyfriend Hooks Up With Other Girls

Back in April, the “FBoy Island” alum caused a stir when she revealed that she doesn’t “really care” if her boyfriend gets to hook up with other women during an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast with Alex Cooper.

“In a relationship, I don’t really care if my boyfriend were to hook up,” she said. “But that is not a two-way street. Like, I’m not someone who likes to hook up when I’m in a relationship. … I don’t really care about that.”

“But I don’t care if someone else were to. In fact, I kind of like it,” she added. “It’s kind of — it’s a problem, I think.”

In her confession, Glaser went further to share that she still maintains control in such situations, saying if her boyfriend were to hook up with someone else, she “would need that girl to know, like, do you know who’s in charge though? Like who he’s coming back to. And I would love to see you try to get him.”

She then stated that Convy has, in fact, “done some stuff” with at least one other woman, but refused to go into details.

“He probably wouldn’t appreciate me elaborating on that, but like there’s been interesting things that have been like really fun for me to hear about and experience and fun for him too,” she said.

Glaser added, “Because you know, you get older. He’s 45, and I’m like, get out there, know that you’re a sexual being again. Like sometimes I’m too busy to be really sexy, so I’m like, get out and get some attention.”

Nikki Glaser Said Her Experience Afterwards Had Been ‘Embarrassing’

Ever since she made the shocking confession, she seemed to have been getting some kind of weird energy from people, as she admits her experience has been “embarrassing.”

During an appearance on an April episode of the “On with Kara Swisher” podcast, she revealed that she had somewhat experienced social stigma as people tend to always bring the issue up with her, even in spaces where they shouldn’t.

“I wasn’t even thinking about censoring myself in any way, knowing that this podcast makes headlines, and then a week later, I wake up to just headlines about ‘Nikki Glaser says that she likes for her boyfriend to sleep with other women,’ and it was like five different headlines showing up on my feed,” Glaser recounted, per Star.

“It was just really embarrassing because I was like that was just one little thing I talked about, like, ‘Oh, I’m kind of turned on by this idea of it,’” she continued. “Everyone I knew had seen that day I went in to do some voice-over work, and people on the Zoom in the voice-over were like, ‘Wow, a lot of headlines about you today.’ I’m like that is so humiliating that they know this.”

Mystery solved, folks! After last season’s jam-packed finale, “Echo Ridge,” Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) finally returned home on this week’s Tracker for the full truth behind his father’s death. Since the very first episode, Ashton Shaw’s (Lee Tergesen) murder has been at the forefront of speculation, but it’s not until now that we fully understand the events leading up to his strange death that stormy night in Northern California. “Chrono Stasis” reveals the full turn of events and opens the door for a much bigger threat going into Season 4 — depending on how the next episode turns out, anyway.

“Chrono Stasis” Settled ‘Tracker’s Biggest Mystery Once and For All — And Opened the Door to Another

In the very first episode of Tracker, we saw what happened on the ridge all those years ago from a young Colter’s (Prestyn Bates) perspective. A half-crazed Ashton Shaw had been pushed off a cliff, with his brother Russell (Jensen Ackles in the present, Matthew Nelson-Mahood in the past) watching silently from above. For all we knew, Russell killed Ashton to save Colter and their sister from their father’s mania. Given that their mother, Mary Dove Shaw (Wendy Crewson), went so far as to convince Colter that his brother was responsible, that was a safe bet. But after their Season 1 reunion revealed that Russell was not the killer, we had to wait until Season 2 to learn a man named Otto Waldron (Alex Fernandez) was behind their father’s big sleep — at the behest of their mother. Since then, Colter hasn’t given Mary Dove the time of day, only returning to Echo Ridge this week for answers at Russell’s urging (and just in time for Tracker to swap filming locations). While there, Colter’s mother breaks the silence on what we have been pondering since last year’s finale: no, she didn’t ask Otto to kill Ashton, he did that all on his own.

As it turns out, Ashton’s time with the Chrono Stasis program fundamentally changed him. When he returned from Alaska, he wasn’t the same man he was when he left, and he grew increasingly unhinged (see Season 1’s “Klamath Falls”). Not only did Ashton’s erratic behavior make him a danger to his children, but he became physically abusive to his wife as well. It was for this reason that she fought to get her children away, asking Otto Waldron (Alex Fernandez) to confront Ashton the night of his death. But despite what Colter had believed, Mary Dove never asked him to kill her husband.

All she wanted was to get her children away from a man raving about the government coming after him for his opposition to their highly experimental (not to mention illegal) work. Instead, Otto saw Ashton as a threat that could only be dealt with by force, so he pushed him off that cliff. As for why Mary Dove lied for years about Russell’s involvement, she was fearful that the shadowy government forces that robbed Ashton of his sanity might set their sights on the brothers if they decided to investigate any further. In her view, if the brothers were no longer on speaking terms, they would not be a unified threat to the folks behind the Chrono Stasis program — the same forces now at Colter and Russell’s heels.

‘Tracker’ Has Pivoted From Solving Ashton’s Murder to Unraveling His Legacy

Now that all the cards are on the table, Tracker is gearing its finale up to be a massive undertaking as the Shaw brothers do what their father never could: take down Chrono Stasis for good. This whole thing kicked off when they tracked down Dr. Serena Jukic (Jeri Ryan), their father’s old colleague who worked with him in Alaska. According to Jukic, the program was a DARPA-funded operation that aimed to explore the full range of potential “cognitive abilities.” This led to experiments with remote viewing, astral projection, and other pseudo-scientific notions that ultimately resulted in the use of child subjects — some of whom were abducted from their homes and families, including a young boy named Danny Kellerman. Although Ashton was removed from the program in the early stages of this development (and after the death of one child subject), Jukic stuck with it for years, though she regrets it deeply.

Season 3’s penultimate episode ends with Colter and Russell breaking into a government facility to rescue Danny, though he isn’t the only one who has been molded by the U.S. government. Considering how long this program has been going, and the sheer amount of manpower and resources that have been poured into it, it’s unlikely that the Shaw brothers will be able to take it down with only one more episode to go. Frankly, if they did, it would be a mistake. Tracker has always had some sort of mystery lingering in the background, but with the truth behind Ashton’s death finally revealed, well, the natural continuation of this thread is to expand the Chrono Stasis plotline further. Perhaps there’s a way to connect these experiments here to “The Process”? Or maybe it will relate to the government operation the Shaw brothers previously stumbled upon in Season 2’s “Ontological Shock”? Whether Tracker wraps up this entire plotline in the next episode or it carries on further, we can finally close the book on Ashton’s murder.

Tracker airs Sundays on CBS and is available the next day for streaming on Paramount+.
