Tom Hanks’ Viral MS NOW Dig Sparks Backlash Online
Tom Hanks created an unexpected viral moment during the ceremonial opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago when a brief exchange with a television reporter quickly turned into one of the event’s most talked-about moments.
The Oscar-winning actor’s playful but pointed remark sparked laughter, criticism, and a flood of online reactions, putting the spotlight on a media network’s struggles and Hanks’ trademark wit.
The unexpected exchange unfolded shortly after Tom Hanks arrived at the opening ceremony on Thursday.
MS NOW Senior National and Political Correspondent Jacob Soboroff was livestreaming from the event when he approached the actor in hopes of securing a quick interview.
“Great to see you,” Soboroff said while trying to get Hanks’ attention.
Initially occupied, Hanks eventually turned toward the reporter after some persistence. Rather than answering questions immediately, he opened with a remark that caught everyone off guard.
“What can I do for the 800 people watching MS NOW?” Hanks joked.
The comment appeared to reference the network’s declining television audience and immediately changed the tone of the interaction.
Soboroff responded with a smile and reminded the actor, “Oh, come on. We’re live on MS NOW.”
Tom Hanks And The Reporter Trade Playful Barbs

The exchange didn’t end there. After Soboroff pushed back, Hanks fired off another quip.
“All right – add a zero to it,” he replied in a deadpan manner.
The reporter quickly countered by saying, “I would say millions now that you’re on our air.”
At that point, Hanks appeared ready to move on from the joke.
“All right. All right,” he said before answering questions about the event itself.
The moment lasted only seconds, but it was enough to capture the internet’s attention. Clips of the interaction quickly spread across social media platform X, generating hundreds of thousands of views within hours.
For many viewers, the brief exchange became more memorable than the event where it occurred.
Online Reactions Split Over The Viral Moment

As the clip circulated online, reactions came from every direction.
Some viewers found the actor’s comments hilarious and praised his sense of humor. Others felt the joke crossed a line and criticized the actor for taking a swipe at the network during a live broadcast.
One social media user wrote, “Asking Tom Hanks for a comment these days is like a box of chocolates….you never know what you’re gonna get.”
Not everyone was amused. “Pretty arrogant, Tom. Not a great look,” another commenter posted.
A third critic added, “Hanks was always a whiny, immature and twisted liberal.”
Supporters were equally vocal. “Tom immediately with a banger,” one fan wrote.
Another user commented, “He goofy with those jokes,” while someone else praised the interaction altogether, saying, “The entire interview was awesome.”
The Network Behind The Joke
The joke landed against the backdrop of real challenges facing traditional cable television.
Like many linear television networks, MS NOW has experienced audience declines over the years despite recent efforts to strengthen its position.
According to the Daily Mail, the network currently averages roughly 900,000 viewers, down from averages that exceeded 1.1 million viewers in 2016.
As changing viewing habits and cord-cutting continue reshaping the industry, the network has undergone major changes. It was renamed from MSNBC in November as part of a broader corporate restructuring effort following its separation from Comcast.
Today, the channel operates under Versant, a media company focused primarily on domestic cable properties. Other networks under its portfolio include CNBC, Golf Channel, E!, Syfy, and Oxygen.
Against that backdrop, Hanks’ quip resonated with many viewers already familiar with the changing television landscape.
Tom Hanks Focuses On ‘Toy Story 5’
Away from the viral controversy, Hanks is preparing for another major career milestone.
The actor will return as Woody in “Toy Story 5,” which arrives in theaters on June 19.
Speaking with PEOPLE in New York last month, Hanks expressed enthusiasm about returning to one of Pixar’s most beloved franchises.
“Oh my Lord, all I can say is the saga continues,” he said.
The original “Toy Story” debuted in 1995 and became a global phenomenon, launching one of animation’s most successful franchises. More than three decades later, Hanks remains amazed that the journey is continuing.
“I have seen it. I don’t know how they do it, but it is a vibrant and proper chapter in the Toy Story canon,” he said. “None of us can believe that we’re still a part of it.”
The new film will see Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and the rest of the gang facing a modern challenge as technology competes for children’s attention.
Director Andrew Stanton previously explained the central conflict by saying, “In Toy Story 5 the toys’ jobs get exponentially harder when our toy crew goes head to head with what kids are obsessed with today: electronics.”

Jelly Roll And Bunnie Xo Speak Out After Divorce News:
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are speaking about the breakdown of their marriage a few days after reports of their divorce spread. On June 15, several publications reported that the singer filed for divorce from his wife of 10 years in May, the same month they separated. Soon after, speculations about their split quickly made the rounds online.
The former couple has now spoken out separately, addressing the speculations head-on and debunking claims. Their comments offer a clearer picture of where they stand amid the ongoing chatter.

Jelly Roll is in the middle of a tour, and during a performance in Saratoga Springs on June 18, the singer talked about his divorce from Bunnie Xo in front of his fans, a clip of which was uploaded to his social media.
“While we’re talking about liars, the internet is a liar too,” Jelly Roll prefaced, adding it was the only time he was going to talk about his relationship and urging the audience to take out their phones and record.
“Me and my wife are best friends, we will always be best friends. I will love her. She will probably be the only woman I’ll ever love the way I loved her,” Jelly Roll shared. He said they just spoke on the phone earlier that day and addressed one of the rumors, saying, “Nobody cheated on nobody.”
The Singer Declared His Love For Bunnie Xo
Jelly Roll also urged the crowd to watch Bunnie Xo’s podcast, where she spoke about their separation and divorce. “She just did a whole podcast about it. You can go watch it. Every word of it is the truth,” the singer continued.
On June 18, Bunnie Xo released an episode of the “Dumb Blonde Podcast” titled “The Divorce” and shared what transpired before their separation and their plans moving forward.
“That will be my best friend forever. This is the only time I will ever speak about it. Bunnie, I love you, baby. Thank you for those 10 years. They were incredible. Thank you for the next 10 years of friendship, and 20 beyond that,” Jelly Roll said in front of the audience, who were cheering for him.
Bunnie Xo Had A Fight That Led To Divorce

On her podcast, Bunnie Xo shed some light on what led to her separation and divorce from Jelly Roll. The podcaster admitted that she and the singer “never argued” in their relationship and were bad at handling disagreements. “So, he would be holding things in. I would be holding things in, and that’s a recipe for disaster,” she explained.
She and Jelly Roll argued on Mother’s Day, but didn’t disclose what it was about. Bunnie Xo was “fed up and so tired” that she told her husband, “Well, then file the f-cking divorce papers.”
“In our relationship, that is the one cardinal thing that you don’t say, even though my husband has said it numerous times. But, when I say it, it really holds weight because I’m not the type of person who says what I don’t mean,” Bunnie Xo added.
Bunnie Xo packed a bag and left Jelly Roll, and they didn’t communicate for weeks afterward.
The Podcaster Said The Divorce Wasn’t Mutual

Bunnie Xo said her husband was “so mad,” and he did exactly what she told him to do. As The Blast previously reported, the singer filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, on May 18 after 10 years of marriage.
The podcaster shared that the decision wasn’t mutual, and she wanted to give the marriage a chance by going to therapy to “figure sh-t out.” However, Jelly Roll thought differently. “It was not mutual. Even though I told him to file the divorce papers, I was speaking out of anger and frustration,” Bunnie Xo said.
Regardless, Bunnie Xo has come to terms with the fate of their marriage, adding that what happened was a necessary “wake-up call” that led them to have difficult conversations.
Bunnie Xo And Jelly Roll Are Still Having A Baby Together
Before the divorce filing, both Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll openly talked about wanting to have a baby together. In her memoir, which was released in February, the podcaster revealed that they had found a surrogate.
It seems the divorce isn’t putting a damper on those plans, as Bunnie Xo shared that they will still be having a baby together. “We’re going to co-parent together. J is my best friend. Like, this isn’t what you guys think this is. Nobody cheated on the other person. It’s literally just we served our purpose for each other,” she explained.
She continued to say that while the public seems to dwell on their past, they are looking forward to the future, saying,”Being happy and healthy and best friends through this is probably the biggest gift that we could have given each other.”

Jen Affleck Pregnant, Expecting Baby No. 4 With Husband Zac
Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck and her husband, Zac Affleck, are expanding their family again with baby No. 4.
Showing off her baby bump in a carousel of photos posted via her Instagram on Thursday, June 18, Jen shared the happy news. “Chapter Four. 🤍,” she captioned the post.
Jen, 27, and Zac, 29, met on the Mormon dating app Mutual in 2018. The pair tied the knot the following year and went on to welcome kids Nora, 4, Lucas, 2, and Penny, 11 months.
The couple’s pregnancy announcement comes two months after fans speculated that Jen and Zack were experiencing marital trouble, as the influencer did not wear her wedding ring in a tearful TikTok video discussing her “next chapter.”
“In the last two to three years, so much has happened,” Jen said in the April video, noting that her family had moved five times in one year. “Between two babies, reality TV show, Dancing With the Stars, moving, identity, faith, life crisis, I’m very hopeful for this next chapter of my life.”
The Dancing With the Stars alum continued, “There are parts of me that I feel like have healed, and then there are parts of me where old patterns have shown back up. I’ve been hoping through my vulnerability that I can help heal myself. I’m hoping that in this next chapter of my life I can find my faith again … while also holding space for who I am at my core and not trying to change that.”
Noting that she got married at 19 and became pregnant a year later, Jen pointed out that she never “had time to figure out who Jen is.”
“I’m still trying to figure that out. I just desperately want to be able to show up for my kids and show up as the best version of myself,” she added.
Jen and Zac have been open about their marital struggles in the past, with season 2 of Mormon Wives documenting their brief separation.
“[We went through] lots of therapy. When I say lots of therapy, I mean eight hours a week,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2025 ahead of season 2’s premiere. “We really went all at it.”
Jen continued, “We wouldn’t have been able to get through season 2 — honestly season 1 or season 2 — without therapy. And filming definitely isn’t a comfortable thing for Zac. I think it’s definitely harder for him to be vulnerable. So that was him really trying to break through that during season 2. Even though there’s a lot of tough conversations we need to have on and off camera, it was all helpful in the end.”

How Tyra Banks Can Win Lawsuit Against Netflix
Tyra Banks broke the internet last weekend when it was revealed that she was suing Netflix for defamation after the streaming giant released a documentary about the downfall of her reality TV show, “America’s Next Top Model.” In the documentary, in which Banks participated, the Victoria’s Secret supermodel talks about some of the show’s biggest scandals and takes responsibility for sometimes going “too far.” However, in her bombshell lawsuit against Netflix, Banks is accusing the streamer of deliberately manufacturing a false narrative by editing her interviews to portray her in a negative light.

Rachel Bennett, a certified family law specialist, spoke with Us Weekly about Banks’ shocking lawsuit and revealed whether the superstar model has any grounds to sue Netflix for defamation.
“It’s actually a really interesting claim, because generally documentary producers enjoy broad creative agency over how to edit and how to put together footage, and that’s all under the First Amendment,” said Bennett.
She went on to say that documentary creators typically have the “creative freedom” to edit interviews in ways that may portray them negatively, so long as the edit “is not completely false.”
“Where it crosses a line into defamation is where something is so heavily edited that it completely manufactures facts that are just objectively not true,” she said.
Tyra Banks Sues Netflix, Claims The Streamer Purposely Edited Her Interview To Portray Her In A Bad Light

Banks filed her lawsuit against Netflix on Saturday, June 13, claiming that her appearance in Netflix’s “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model” was defamatory and edited to paint her in a negative light.
“Tyra Banks participated in the Netflix documentary series America’s Next Top Model (‘ANTM’) because she believed viewers deserved a candid conversation about the show’s legacy—its successes and its shortcomings,” part of the suit reads. “There are aspects of the show for which Ms. Banks takes accountability, and she wanted ANTM viewers to hear that from her directly.”
In her lawsuit, Banks accuses Netflix of using only 16 minutes of her three-hour interview in the docuseries, leaving critical bits of information on the cutting-room floor to shape a narrative that would elicit a negative response.
“Viewers of a documentary do not expect manufactured drama or constructed narratives. They expect facts. Because they were promised a documentary, that is exactly how viewers interacted with the Netflix Series,” the lawsuit continues.
Tyra Banks Says She Went ‘Too Far’ In Netflix Documentary About Modeling Competition Show
The “America’s Next Top Model” documentary was released in February 2026, and in the three-part series, Banks opens up about the good, the bad, and the ugly.
She also revisited some of the modeling competition show’s most controversial moments, including the race-swap challenge, the homeless photoshoot, and the devastating makeovers.
“I knew I went too far. It was very, very intense, but you guys were demanding it, so we kept pushing it, more and more and more,” she said.
Who Was Part Of The ‘ANTM’ Docuseries?

Banks wasn’t the only person from “America’s Next Top Model” involved in the series. Also featured were former judges Miss J. Alexander, Jay Manuel, and photographer Nigel Barker. Executive producer Ken Mok was also part of the series, as well as past contestants Dani Evans, Shandi Sullivan, Shannon Stewart, Ebony Haith, Keenyah Hill, and Whitney Thompson, according to Netflix’s Tudum.
Banks Addressed The Show’s Controversies In February 2025
The Netflix docuseries wasn’t the first time Banks publicly addressed her shortcomings as they relate to “America’s Next Top Model.” In February 2025, the mother of one spoke at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards and shared an emotional statement about the challenges she faced while working to create positive change in the fashion industry.
“Over 20 years ago I created a show called ‘America’s Next Top Model,’” she said. “And you guys have no idea how hard we fought to bring the diversity to that television show at a time when it didn’t exist; to show different beauties at a time when the world was like, ‘What? You casting that?’ A time when people in the fashion industry were telling me, ‘You putting the girls from the hood on your show?’”
Banks explained that she fought for women from diverse backgrounds and with different body types to be featured on the series, calling it a “struggle” she eventually overcame. “Did we get it right? Hell no. I said some dumb s–t,” she continued. “But I refuse to have my legacy be about some stuff linked together on the Internet when there were 24 cycles of changing the world. And I am so excited that I, and so many of us, have opened that door for others to follow.”

Bunnie Xo Breaks Silence on Jelly Roll Split, Reason Revealed
Bunnie Xo has broken her silence after her estranged husband, Jelly Roll, filed for divorce after nearly 10 years of marriage,
Opening up on the Thursday, June 18, episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast, Bunnie, 46, detailed the argument that led to her and Jelly Roll, 41, calling it quits.
“J and I have never really been good at having disagreements. So, we were the type of couple who never argued. So, he would be holding things in. I would be holding things in, and that’s a recipe for disaster,” Bunnie explained on the podcast. “We always preach you gotta be comfortable having the uncomfortable conversations, and we did that for eight years in. Then the past year and a half, we kind of got away from that because, we’re in a different life right now.”
Bunnie added that a fight they had on Mother’s Day in May was the straw that broke the camel’s back. During the argument, Bunnie said she told him to “file the f***ing divorce papers.”
“On Mother’s Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don’t think the details are necessary,” she explained. “And, in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, ‘Well, then file the f***ing divorce papers.’”
Bunnie explained she would never threaten divorce unless she meant it.
“In our relationship, that is the one cardinal thing that you don’t say, even though my husband has said it numerous times,” she noted. “But, when I say it, it really holds weight because I’m not the type of person who says what I don’t mean.”
She added that despite their split, the pair are looking toward the “future” and remaining “best friends.”
Us Weekly confirmed on June 15 that the musician filed to end his marriage one month prior, submitting a divorce petition in Tennessee on May 18. He was seen at the 2026 CMA Fest in Nashville earlier in June, where he performed on stage without a wedding ring on.
Bunnie, for her part, posed in lingerie on her Instagram Story hours before the divorce news, writing, “She’s getting her sparkle back.” In a separate Story, she shared the quote, “Come here, let me show you what love feels like.”
The former couple, who got married in 2016, were candid about the challenges they faced in their marriage. Before their breakup, Bunnie wrote in her memoir, Stripped Down, that she and Jelly Roll broke up multiple times throughout their relationship.
Bunnie also claimed in her memoir that Jelly Roll was “used to having multiple relationships at the same time with different women.” They initially “both frowned upon monogamy.”
“That’s not to say that we agreed to go f*** whoever we wanted whenever we wanted — to me that’s what an open relationship is, and we aren’t in one. But if a girl wanted to come home with us, we more than likely wouldn’t turn her down,” she wrote. “Now, here comes the part that might surprise you. J has always told me that I can sleep with other men if I want to.”
She continued: “We argued about it many times until I finally just accepted the fact that that’s who he is. I’m not going to try to change him into something he’s not — and I started to agree with him. We both live by the motto that we aren’t each other’s possessions and consider our relationship to be free, not open. Free will. Which means: I’ll give you the world sexually, but don’t f***king lie to me or ever let me be the last to know something.”
Before Stripped Down was released in February, Bunnie spoke exclusively to Us about why she didn’t skip over the rough moments in her marriage.
“I tried to be as real as possible with the situation,” she shared at the time. “I think I might have even toned it down. It’s just really important to be real. My husband is my best friend. I f***ing love that man — and we have been through hell.”
The content creator noted how she learned that “love isn’t always pretty.”
“It’s raw, it’s emotional and it’s a journey,” she added. “I’m so happy for people who have never had to go through anything traumatic in their relationships. But I just feel like my husband and I had to go through that because it’s part of our testimony. It’s a part of what we’ve survived — we choose to be together every day.”

The Battlestar Galactica Episode With A Secret, Sexy Musical Parody
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published

Strange New Worlds has been a generally beloved Star Trek show, one that proudly carries the banner of The Original Series. However, the show has taken a few big, creative swings that rubbed fans the wrong way. This includes a musical episode, “Subspace Rhapsody,” that was pretty bad. Many musical fans like myself disliked it because the songs weren’t nearly as good as Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s “Once More, With Feeling.” Others disliked the premise itself, believing that a goofy musical episode didn’t really work for a franchise that has generally (minus the occasional episodes featuring Q, the holodecks, the Ferengi, etc.) taken itself seriously.
A musical episode is the last thing that you’ll get from Ronald D. Moore’s Battlestar Galactica. Former Star Trek writer Moore designed his series to be the tonal opposite of Trek in almost every way, realistically portraying humanity on the verge of extinction after a genocidal attack from a bunch of killer robots. Accordingly, most Galactica episodes are grim and gritty, but there’s one notable exception: “Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down,” a Season 1 episode that features a surplus of jokes and humorous situations. It also features a Strange New Worlds-esque musical parody: an opera song whose Italian lyrics are all about how sexy Tricia Helfer’s Cylon is!
Secret, Sexy Lyrics

“Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down” is the closest thing that Battlestar Galactica came to making a comedy episode. It still focuses on relatively serious stuff, including the returned Ellen Tigh making her husband’s alcoholism worse and Dr. Baltar’s ongoing work on the Cylon detector. But it’s also an episode where Ellen Tigh rubs her foot on Apollo’s crotch and makes every single social situation she’s in hilariously inappropriate. One thing that isn’t overtly funny is Baltar listening to opera while working in his lab. It’s easy to overlook because it’s such a trope. Intense British guy in space unwinding with opera? Patrick Stewart did it first, pal!
However, Baltar wasn’t listening to any established opera that anyone watching would be familiar with. This is actually an original song from Battlestar Galactica composer Bear McCreary. When the soundtrack came out for Season 1, the liner notes included a translation for the Italian lyrics. As it turns out, the song is very meta: it’s playing while Baltar is in his lab, talking and flirting with the Six Cylon that lives in his mind. Accordingly, the lyrics are about her as well as the bizarre situation Baltar finds himself in.
The lyrics to this custom Battlestar Galactica opera are as follows: “Woe upon your Cylon heart / There’s a toaster in your head/ And it wears high heels / Number Six calls to you / The Cylon Detector beckons / Your girlfriend is a toaster / Woe upon your Cylon heart / Alas, disgrace! Alas, sadness and misery! / The toaster has a pretty dress / Red like its glowing spine / Number Six whispers / By your command.”
Lyrics Explained? By Your Command

Most of the lyrics have a pretty straightforward meaning. Six is one of the Cylons, which the Battlestar Galactica crew has nicknamed “toasters.” The song focuses on how she’s Baltar’s “girlfriend” and how she “wears high heels” and “has a pretty dress,’ a reference to Six’s iconic outfit. Speaking of red, the song mentions the red, glowing spines that Cylons display when having sex. The song also speaks to Baltar’s anxiety that his detector will reveal that he is secretly a Cylon. As for “by your command,” that’s a twofer: it references how Six instructs Baltar and references a line frequently uttered by the Cylons in the original Battlestar Galactica series.
The song is pretty solid, especially if you’re a fan of opera. The lyrics are a little silly, but that’s fine: again, “Tigh Me Up and Tigh Me Down” is the silliest episode of Ronald D. Moore’s Battlestar Galactica. When making the show, Moore decided to lean in and create a science fiction show that was absolutely nothing like Star Trek. But in a stunning irony (or maybe, as Six says, through the will of the one, true god), Moore ended up doing a cheeky sci-fi musical parody decades before Strange New Worlds did it!

General Hospital Summer Spoilers: Valentin’s Massive Fallout, Jason Return Date Revealed & Cassius Flees!
General Hospital fans, we’ve got the latest spoilers covering the rest of June, July, and August on the ABC soap, including Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) facing serious fallout for the sacrifice he makes. Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) return air date and his new attitude. Plus, Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) is going to run, but it may be too late for him.
General Hospital Spoilers: Valentin & Carly’s Summer Romance
So, we’re going to start with what is coming for Valentin and Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright). But be sure to stick around till the very end for Steve Burton’s return air date and what is up with Jason.
So, Valentin told Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) he may never see her again because he’s going to see Z at the WSB. I do wonder if that is actually Serena Baldwin (Kelly Kruger) since she’s back soon and rumor has it she’s WSB.
So this Z person shows up in Port Charles because Carly winds up facing off with them while trying to save Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) from Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and the WSB.
GH Spoilers: Carly Plots against Jack
Also, new GH spoilers say Carly is still aching for payback on Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) this summer. So, looks like Valentin does not wind up in Steinmauer and is still with Carly because Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) is looking for Brick’s (Stephen A. Smith) help to break them up. And Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) freaks when she finds out Carly harbored Valentin and let Charlotte see him at her place. And Valentin’s going to ask Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) for help with Lulu after this.
Plus, when Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is back, she may cause problems for Carly and Valentin. Also, Carly has to deal with the disapproval of most of Port Charles over her romance with Valentin once it goes public in the next couple of months. Anna returns with information and a grudge. Turns out she knew Cassius was masquerading as Nathan, but Anna couldn’t warn anybody because she was stuck in that psych hospital. She’s also going to come back with emotional scars from Cullum and Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) torment. And Anna returns ready to kill somebody.
General Hospital: Cullum’s Death and Josslyn’s WSB Connection
Now, we’ve heard a rumor that Cullum is dead during July sweeps, and I think it’d be perfect if it’s Anna that kills him. So, it looks like Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) completes the prototype, and Cullum tries to run with that cold fusion device, but Josslyn intervenes, and there’s bloodshed at Wyndemere. Hopefully, Cullum is going to wind up dead. And reportedly, Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn) and Charlotte may be involved.
Josslyn winds up on Z’s radar after helping stop Cullum, but there’s fallout when more people find out the truth about Josslyn being a WSB agent. And as we predicted, Brennan’s going to get closer to someone. They’re trying to protect Jack and he tries to help get the goods to shut Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) down.
General Hospital Spoilers: Willow’s Running Out of Time
Meanwhile, Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) can’t keep Drew locked in much longer and is going to face a lot of problems. It comes out that Willow was conspiring with Sidwell and there’s a weird spoiler about Drew and an incident at his and Willow’s house where her floors are ruined. I don’t know if that’s blood or water. We’ll see.
Also, Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) wants Willow out of Michael Corinthos’ (Rory Gibson) life and she goes rogue. And as expected, Brook Lynn Quartermaine’s (Amanda Setton) scheme to frame Willow as the other driver blows up on her. And finally, and this is a good thing, Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) is going to set some boundaries with Willow. Also, looks like Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) lets Willow know that she knows she shot Drew. Alexis, meanwhile, isn’t thrilled with Drew coming out of his locked in state because she’s worried that he may snatch Scout Cain (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) away and reinstate those restraining orders.
General Hospital: Curtis’ Legal Crisis and Younger Generation Drama
And of course, Drew’s daughter, Scout, is aged up to a teenager soon, and she’s going to get a love interest. It looks like she and Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) might be paired up. Also, we know Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) is in crisis this week, but she and Rocco are back to Port Charles soon, and he feels that Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu betrayed him. Danny and Rocco wind up at odds. Plus, Brennan, Dante, and others try and protect Rocco from facing consequences for shooting Cullum.
And speaking of his partner in crime, Sidwell’s back for one final battle with Sonny. It’s going to get violent, and DA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) is in danger along with Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) for betraying her bad guy boss. After Sidwell is finally dealt with, Laura is cleaning up messes from his reign of terror and she has to deal with Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) as well.
GH Spoilers: Curtis Faces Tough Decision
All right, now let’s talk about Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) and his summer spoilers. He’s facing felony criminal charges and Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) hires a lawyer to initiate a high dollar civil suit. We’ve heard that it might be Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight) who is coming back to represent Isaiah. We’ll see.
So, it looks like Curtis is offered a plea deal that includes a modest prison sentence. But if he doesn’t take the deal, he could wind up in prison for years for his violent attack on Isaiah. So, Curtis told Alexis his defense plan was to attack Isaiah and accuse him of being the second driver who left them for dead. But the truth about Brook Lynn and her frame job could ruin Curtis’s defense. Plus, as we know, Isaiah’s innocent.
So, it looks like Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) goes into labor after things get tense when she’s on the stand at Curtis’s trial. We’ll also have his dad, Marshall Ashford (Robert Gossett), back to support Curtis. And there are corporate hijinks that could relate to ELQ or Aurora that affect Michael. This all could tie back to the charges against Curtis, and there’s more Deception drama.
General Hospital: The Younger Set and Britt’s Return
Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) is done with her parents, but when her sibling is born, she can’t keep avoiding Curtis and Portia. Also, Drew gets out of his locked in state, but that happening hits Kai really hard, and then he and Trina misread something that happens to Drew. And this may tie back to Willow’s floors getting messy.
Speaking of the younger set, Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) saves somebody’s life that people hate. Plus, his girlfriend Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner) is ticked off to find out Josslyn is WSB. And Gio and Trina’s showcase goes really well, and both of them get offers. Gio gets closer to Brook Lynn, but when her lie about Willow comes out, things may backslide between them.

GH Spoilers: Lulu Spencer Absolutely Floored
General Hospital spoilers confirm Cassius’ identity is revealed to Lulu. And since he did some fraud and henchman crimes, Cassius plans to run, but he stops to say goodbye to somebody before ditching Port Charles. And that’s going to cause him trouble. My guess would be it’s James that Cassius drops in on.
Things between Lulu and Charlotte get worse, I’m sure, because of her daughter’s devotion to Valentin. And Charlotte’s going to move out from Lulu’s house. I could see her winding up over with Carly and Valentin, which would aggravate Lulu to no end. But maybe she winds up at Laura’s place instead.
Expect more of Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean Parsons) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) when he comes clean to her about something. Ethan may lean towards Ava, and she’s going to wind up saving Ethan at a critical moment. And soon, Ava’s got issues with Sonny that have her frustrated, and she makes a mysterious alliance.
Somebody from the past has Ethan running and Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) is going to take down a wanted man. Could be Valentin, could be Sidwell. And he and Molly Lansing (Kristen Vaganos) cope with drama when her career, both in-law and writing, take a turn. In the end, Cody and Molly stick close and their relationship takes a leap forward. I’m hoping that we’re going to see wedding bells.
General Hospital: Britt’s Crisis and Jason’s Return
All right, now let’s talk about Britt. She’s back. She’s facing fallout from working for Cullum and keeping Cassius’s big secret. And her mom, Liesl, is really ticked with her. Britt gets earthshattering news from Lucas and it may be about her health. Plus, Britt has issues with Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) at General Hospital. Some past love of Britt resurfaces. I’m hoping it’s Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) versus Jason. And I have heard some Cassadine return rumors.
Also, Anna interrogates Britt once she’s back as police commissioner, which means Britt might face criminal charges even though she was forced to do those dirty deeds. Laura goes to see Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) in Ireland and she could come home with Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay) but no husband because Jon Lindstrom is over on contract at Beyond the Gates and isn’t going to be coming back.
Now, let’s talk about Jason’s return. Steve Burton’s first air date is July 13th with General Hospital’s 16,000th episode. That’s huge. So, Jason changed while he was in captivity. And it looks like Jason decides to live his life differently after his WSB ordeal. and it’ll affect his son Danny and also Sonny who is trying to reestablish his power base and he’s hoping that Jason and Sonny can cooperate but it could be that Jason walks away from the mob altogether.

Kyle Cooke Sparks Summer House Exit Rumors With Cryptic Post
Kyle Cooke has addressed his status on Summer House after sending the rumor mill into overdrive with a cryptic post.
“End of Season 10 and a decade of filming this show as I know it,” Kyle, 43, clarified via an edited Instagram message on Thursday, June 18, alongside a slideshow from his final day filming season 10 of the Bravo series. “The show isn’t cancelled and this is not me announcing I won’t return. I was feeling emo and always planned sharing the cover photo because it DID feel like the end of an era, which is why everyone else was so emotional saying their goodbyes on the finale. Sorry everyone!”
His original Instagram post to commemorate the end of Summer House season 10 was interpreted by many fans as Kyle hinting at his departure from the show.
“End of an era,” Kyle, 43, wrote in the original message. “I can’t tell how hard it was to muster up a smile in this photo with my producers. Per usual I was the last to leave the house when we wrapped because I lug so much gear out. But this year was different. 10 seasons in the books. A new show [In the City] on the way. And a heartbreaking way to end one helluva run.”
The Summer House OG went on, “I’m tearing up as I type this because we truly become a family shooting this show and it was a gut-wrenching way to leave this house for good. I can’t thank these 4 enough (and the rest of the crew) for giving up their summer to make it all happen.”
“I think we can finally close this chapter (but don’t blame me if I post some throwbacks that are a lot happier than me driving home all by myself as we filmed the cross over),” Kyle concluded. “Finally, thank you to the fans for believing in this show and for all of your support over the last decade.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for comment.
While Kyle’s post confused fans, the iconic seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom mansion used on Summer House was actually put on the market for $5 million in March. A real estate listing leaned into the property’s Summer House appeal, promoting that it had “elegant millwork, gorgeous hardwood floors and an effortless indoor-outdoor flow built for summer entertaining.”
Speculation about Kyle’s future on the Bravo show also came on the heels of Us reporting that West Wilson was leaving Summer House after season 10 amid his controversial romance with Kyle’s estranged wife, Amanda Batula.
“It was a mutual decision between the network and West,” a source exclusively told Us earlier this month. “[It was] already feeling like his time on the show was coming to an end [before the controversial season 10 reunion.]”

Kyle and Amanda, 34, announced they were separating after four years of marriage in January. Two months later, Amanda confirmed she was in a relationship with West, 31, despite the Summer House costars previously denying they were seeing each other.
Kyle and West’s ex-girlfriend Ciara Miller, along with the rest of the Summer House cast, got their chances to grill Amanda — Ciara’s former BFF — and West about the timeline of their romance in an epic three-part season 10 reunion and a special Aftermath episode, the latter of which aired on Tuesday, June 16.
The drama leading up to Kyle and Amanda’s January separation is currently playing out on the spinoff show In the City. Amanda and Kyle were photographed looking friendly while attending the In the City’s season 1 premiere in New York City in May, though Kyle quickly explained their demeanor.
“You guys, yes, Amanda and I took a picture together,” he told Instagram followers on May 19. “I was just happy that she showed up. She almost didn’t come to a show that she participated in. Shoot me. Shoot me. But don’t call my life, my relationship, my marriage, and my implosion of a marriage, fake.”
He went on, “With all due respect, we’re all adults here and we all showed up to a premiere party. And, yes, Amanda did not want to come, and I convinced her to come and we took a photo together. Grow the f*** up.”
Summer House and In the City air on Bravo.
