But they head out for a fun day at the ballpark to forget their problems for awhile. Rasit is excited. But has no idea that he will have the honor of throwing the first pitch at the minor league game. Rasit is surprised and happy to find out. In spite of never having held a baseball.
At the game, Rasit is greeted by the staff of The Rocket City Trash Pandas. Everyone is excited and Rasit gets announced before launching a decent pitch to applause. But the proud moment is short-lived when the couple take their seats. And Mallorie’s ex and friend Brandon is enjoying a cold one in the stands. Mallorie gets ready to take the seat next to Brandon but Rasit’s not having it. So there’s tension before the game even starts. Rasit takes the seat next to Brandon again referring to him as Brandy.
Rasit makes it clear he doesn’t want to be friends with Brandon and doesn’t want him around Mallorie either on 90 Day Fiance. Brandon gets up and moves when Mallorie and her friend go on a beer run. They return and Rasit is angry. He refuses his beer. And again flat out tells Brandon they will never be friends. Brandon tosses his popcorn at Rasit and dips. Rasit munches on the popcorn and Mallorie is annoyed and they leave arguing all the way home.

Gothic horror is one of the most enduring subgenres. Aesthetically, it usually features decaying castles and eerie landscapes. The plots typically involve ghosts or ancient curses, the themes touch on madness and isolation, and the atmosphere is one of relentless, creeping dread.
The genre also thrives on ambiguity and emotional intensity, often keeping us guessing as to whether supernatural forces are genuinely at work or if we are merely witnessing the reflections of fractured minds. With all that in mind, and without further ado, here are the finest gothic horror novels ever written, ranked.

‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ (1890)
Cover of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar WildeImage via Penguin Classics
“Each of us has heaven and hell in him.” After the handsome young Dorian Gray wishes that his portrait would age in his place, his desire is mysteriously granted. While Dorian remains eternally youthful, the hidden painting gradually reflects every cruel act, selfish decision, and moral transgression he commits throughout his life. This simple premise sets the stage for a surprisingly thoughtful meditation on the price of unalloyed hedonism. Here, outer beauty and inner desolation go hand in hand.
The atmosphere is immersive, and the aesthetic is decadent, very much channeling the Gothic mood. At the same time, The Picture of Dorian Gray still shows off author Oscar Wilde‘s talent for wit and humor. The dialogue also frequently gets philosophical, challenging Victorian ideas about beauty, morality, and identity. A brilliant statement on vanity and the misguided quest for eternal youth.

‘Something Wicked This Way Comes’ (1962)
The cover for ‘Something Wicked This Way Comes’ by Ray BradburyImage via Gauntlet Press
“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” Something Wicked This Way Comes is one of the very best books by genre legend Ray Bradbury. When a mysterious carnival arrives in a quiet Midwestern town just before Halloween, teenage friends Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade discover that its attractions grant visitors their deepest desires, but always at a terrible cost. Presiding over this sinister spectacle is the enigmatic Mr. Dark, who seems to feed upon human weakness and regret.
This one’s a little different, in that it relocates the Gothic sensibility to a more modern setting, yet Bradbury makes it work. In particular, he ensures that the carnival feels simultaneously magical and deeply unsettling. It embodies the Gothic fascination with temptation and hidden corruption lurking beneath beauty. At the same time, underneath the darkness, Something Wicked This Way Comes is simply a great coming-of-age story, with protagonists who feel real.

‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ (1839)
Image via Signet Classics
“I felt that I breathed an atmosphere of sorrow.” In this grim gem from Edgar Allan Poe, an unnamed narrator visits his childhood friend Roderick Usher at the family’s decaying ancestral mansion, only to find both the house and its inhabitants consumed by grief and tragedy. As strange events unfold, the boundaries between supernatural horror and madness become increasingly impossible to distinguish. Likewise, the crumbling mansion appears almost alive, reflecting the mental deterioration of the Usher family itself.
The setting is immersive and delectably creepy, all dark corridors, eerie silences, and storms lashing the windows. Whether readers interpret its events as supernatural or psychological, the overwhelming sense of decay and inevitable destruction never weakens. On release, this book was way ahead of its time, and it remains remarkably readable for something published in 1830. Its influence can be found in countless haunted-house stories and psychological horror novels.

‘Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ (1886)
Image via Omni Publishing
“Man is not truly one, but truly two.” This archetypal ‘split identity’ story was penned by Treasure Island‘s Robert Louis Stevenson. In it, respected London physician Dr. Henry Jekyll develops a chemical formula capable of separating the opposing aspects of his personality, allowing his darker impulses to emerge in the violent and increasingly uncontrollable figure of Edward Hyde. Through the investigations of lawyer Gabriel Utterson, readers gradually uncover disturbing clues and piece together the mystery.
Although often remembered for its famous twist, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydehas a lot more to offer than just that. On top of the compelling plot, it powerfully captures Victorian anxieties surrounding repression and the need to appear respectable. Indeed, Hyde embodies the darker instincts that civilized society attempts to suppress but can never entirely eliminate. The book’s central metaphor has become so deeply embedded in popular culture that “Jekyll and Hyde” continues to symbolize humanity’s divided nature.

‘The Turn of the Screw’ (1898)
The cover for ‘The Turn of the Screw’ by Henry JamesImage via Penguin
“I was giving pleasure, if he had his way.” In The Turn of the Screw, a young governess accepts a position caring for two orphaned children at an isolated country estate, where she becomes convinced that malevolent spirits are attempting to corrupt her young charges. Yet no one else appears to share her certainty. Every ghostly encounter can be interpreted either as genuine supernatural activity or as evidence of the governess’s deteriorating mental state.
Author Henry James uses this ambiguity to create a palpable sense of dread and unease. In other words, rather than relying on overt scares, James allows suspicion and uncertainty to accumulate until even ordinary interactions become deeply unsettling. The isolated country house becomes a pressure cooker of emotional repression. Ultimately, although relatively lean at about 200 pages long, this book is layered and complex, lending itself to endless analysis and interpretation.

‘The Shining’ (1977)
Image via Vintage
“Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us.” As with Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Shining proved that the Gothic tradition could still work in a modern setting. The main character here is Jack Torrance, an aspiring writer hoping to rebuild his life after struggles with alcoholism. He accepts a job as winter caretaker of the isolated Overlook Hotel, where he and his family soon discover that the hotel’s violent past still lingers within its walls, exerting a sinister influence over anyone who stays there.
The Overlook’s corrupting influence feels like a homage to The Haunting of Hill House. Like the ancestral mansions and castles of earlier novels, it possesses a disturbing sense of history, as though every dark thing that happened there continues echoing through the present. It’s unclear where the hotel’s influence stops and the character’s inner demons begin. Indeed, Jack’s substance abuse issues were inspired by some of Stephen King’s own experiences.

‘Frankenstein’ (1818)
Image via Oxford University Press USA
“Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.” Frankenstein is a Gothic masterpiece, as well as one of the foundational works of science fiction. Obsessed with unlocking the secrets of life itself, Victor Frankenstein succeeds in creating a living being from assembled body parts. Horrified by his own achievement, he abandons his creation, setting in motion a tragic cycle of rejection, revenge, and unimaginable suffering.
The aesthetic is Gothic to the core, all towering mountains, icy wildernesses, violent storms, and decaying laboratories. Countless books and movies since have borrowed from it. This could have just been a simple horror story, but Mary Shelley instead uses the premise to explore profound questions around scientific responsibility and what it truly means to be human. The book remains a cautionary tale about man’s hubris and tendency to create inventions it cannot control.

‘Rebecca’ (1938)
Rebecca – 1938 – book coverImage via Hachette
“Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.” Before Hitchcock made it into a masterful film, Rebecca was a great novel. After marrying the wealthy widower Maxim de Winter, an inexperienced young woman moves into his magnificent country estate, Manderley. There she discovers that the memory of Maxim’s first wife, Rebecca, continues to dominate every room, every servant, and every aspect of the household, particularly through the unsettling devotion of housekeeper Mrs. Danvers.
Writer Daphne du Maurier cleverly uses Gothic conventions to delve deep into emotional insecurity. The unnamed narrator constantly compares herself to Rebecca’s seemingly perfect legacy, creating an atmosphere where psychological pressure becomes every bit as terrifying as physical danger. Likewise, Manderley itself feels haunted not by ghosts but by memory. Every revelation gradually reshapes readers’ understanding of the characters while deepening the tension.

‘The Haunting of Hill House’ (1959)
The cover of ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ by Shirley JacksonImage via Penguin
“Whatever walked there, walked alone.” One of the great masterpieces of 20th-century horror. In The Haunting of Hill House, Dr. John Montague invites a small group of volunteers to investigate the paranormal reputation of Hill House, a mansion long associated with unexplained deaths and supernatural disturbances. Among the guests is Eleanor Vance, whose loneliness and vulnerability make her particularly susceptible to the house’s mysterious influence.
Author Shirley Jackson steadily crafts this simple setup into one of the finest haunted-house stories of all time. The writing is rich throughout, making you feel like you can really see Hill House and feel its coldness. What’s also amazing is how little ghostly activity there actually is in this book, yet it still feels so scary. You’re constantly waiting for something terrible to happen, even when things seem calm.

‘Dracula’ (1897)
The original cover of the ‘Dracula’ novel by Bram StokerImage via Archibald Constable and Company
“The blood is the life.” Dracula is the definitive Gothic horror novel, practically spawning the entire vampire genre by itself. The story begins with the young solicitor Jonathan Harker traveling to Transylvania to assist the enigmatic Count Dracula with a property transaction. In Dracula’s shadowed castle, Harker discovers that his host is an ancient vampire preparing to bring unimaginable horror to England. The Count’s influence spreads, and Professor Abraham Van Helsing undertakes to stop him.
Here, Bram Stoker brilliantly combines nearly every defining element of Gothic fiction: a sinister castle, ancient curses, forbidden knowledge, supernatural evil, crumbling traditions, thinly-veiled sexual repression, and an atmosphere saturated with dread. Then there’s also the book’s epistolary structure, composed of journals, letters, newspaper articles, and telegrams, which went on to be influential. All this makes for a chilling and deeply compelling story of light versus darkness and superstition versus modernity.

Camp Crystal Lake · Friday the 13th
Jason Voorhees
Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit.
He moves in straight lines toward his target. He doesn’t strategise, doesn’t adapt, doesn’t outsmart. He simply pursues.
Your ability to keep moving, use the environment, and resist the panic that freezes most victims gives you a genuine edge.
The Crystal Lake survivors were always the ones who stopped running in circles and started thinking about terrain, water, and distance.
You think like that. Which means Jason, for all his indestructibility, would face someone who simply refused to be where he expected.
Advertisement
Haddonfield, Illinois · Halloween
Michael Myers
Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it’s too late for anyone who isn’t paying close enough attention.
But you are paying attention. You notice the shape in the window, the car parked slightly wrong, the silence where there should be sound.
Michael’s power lies in the invisibility of ordinary suburbia — the fact that nothing ever looks wrong until it already is.
Your spatial awareness and instinct to map every room, every exit, and every shadow before you need them is precisely the quality Laurie Strode had.
You are not a victim waiting to happen. You are someone who already suspects something is wrong — and acts on it.
Advertisement
Elm Street · A Nightmare on Elm Street
Freddy Krueger
Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised.
You are harder to destabilise than most. You’ve faced uncomfortable truths about yourself and you haven’t looked away.
The survivors on Elm Street were always the ones who understood what was happening and chose to face it rather than flee from it.
Freddy’s greatest weakness is that his power evaporates in the presence of someone who refuses to give him the fear he feeds on.
Your psychological resilience — the ability to stay grounded when reality itself becomes unreliable — is exactly the quality that keeps you alive here.
Advertisement
Derry, Maine · It
Pennywise
Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.
The Losers Club didn’t survive because they were braver than everyone else. They survived because they faced their fears together, and faced them honestly.
You ask the questions others avoid. You look directly at what frightens you rather than turning away.
That directness — the refusal to let fear fester in the dark — is Pennywise’s worst nightmare.
It chose the wrong target when it chose you. You are exactly the kind of person whose fear tastes like nothing at all.
Advertisement
Chicago · Child’s Play
Chucky
Chucky’s greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it’s already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is.
You don’t have that gap. You take threats seriously regardless of how they present — and you never make the mistake of underestimating something because of its size or appearance.
Chucky relies on surprise, on the delay between recognition and response. You close that delay faster than almost anyone.
Your instinct to treat every unfamiliar thing with appropriate scepticism — rather than dismissing it because it seems absurd — is the exact quality that keeps you breathing.
Against Chucky, not laughing is already winning. You are very good at not laughing.
Did you know that Christian Slater, Val Kilmer, and Verne Troyer starred in a 2002 direct-to-video heist film called Hard Cash? I do, because it’s streaming on Tubi, and that’s where I live when I’m seeking out entertainment. It tells the story of a botched robbery that spirals far beyond out of control before pushing into increasingly ridiculous territory as matters continue to escalate.
The talent involved in Hard Cash is what’s most baffling because everybody brings the goods, but the story beats themselves are so far beyond saving that it’s a bit of a chore to slog through. The action sequences are low budget, and the dialogue is wooden at times, but there’s still enough charisma to keep you interested well into the third act.
I can’t in good conscience say that Hard Cash is a terrible movie because it isn’t. But it pains me to see how much potential is wasted on what could have otherwise been a solid crime comedy. In an alternate reality, I imagine a fully realized version of this movie that’s far superior to what we ended up getting: a high-stakes kidnapping story involving one man’s shot at redemption and going legit, with a healthy amount of comic relief hanging in the balance to keep things light when the going gets tough.
Instead, we get… this.
Immediately Makes No Sense, And Continues That Way
What’s most troubling about Hard Cash involves the logistics we’re supposed to get behind. When convicted thief Thomas Taylor (Christian Slater) gets released on parole, he’s immediately up to his old tricks and finds what he thinks is the perfect job: robbing an off-track betting office owned by mobster Bo Young (William Forsythe). He uses his paramedic job as a front to get close to the operation, which makes absolutely no sense. Correct me if I’m wrong, but if you’re just getting out of prison, it’s highly unlikely you can immediately fall back into this line of work.
I’m not saying criminals can’t be rehabilitated, contributing members of society who work these kinds of jobs, but the timeline here doesn’t add up by any stretch of the imagination. At least, there’s no scenario I can think of where a convicted felon immediately starts working as a first responder, regardless of their vocational history before getting thrown behind bars.
Advertisement
The money from the robbery ends up being marked, meaning a money laundering front needs to be set up. Working with his old crew, Thomas lays low and figures out his next move, but matters get complicated quickly when corrupt FBI Agent Mark C. Cornell (Val Kilmer), who had similar plans to rip off Bo, decides the best course of action is to kidnap Thomas’ daughter Megan (Holliston Coleman), who had been living under the care of Paige (Sara Downing), Thomas’ girlfriend, until his release.
What we get from this point forward is essentially a montage of misguided decisions, corruption, betrayal, and running from the law. Every once in a while, Verne Troyer’s Atilla, who’s working in collusion with the Russian mob (that’s a whole other can of worms), pops out of a suitcase with a gun because the Russians are also after the same stack of cash everybody else wants.
Oh, What Could Have Been
Hard Cash goes off the rails once it’s established because there are simply too many cooks in the kitchen. We have an ex-con trying to save his daughter from a corrupt FBI agent who’s after the same money he stole from a mobster, which is also the same money the Russians are after. Right in the middle of it all is a sweet little girl who doesn’t want her dad to steal anymore. In my mind, this is perfect “comedy of errors” territory, but the problem is that the film plays everything completely straight.
In a parody or straight-up action comedy context, Hard Cash could have thrived because the entire plot is inherently insane, and it should have leaned into that energy whenever the opportunity presented itself. There’s comic relief here, sure, but for a movie reportedly made for less than $5 million, Hard Cash would have benefited from embracing the camp instead of trying to establish itself as a balls-to-the-wall action thriller.
While I really want to rail on Hard Cash for failing to meet its potential, it remains a fun, action experiment that earns its keep thanks to the talent involved. Its biggest failing is that it doesn’t know what lane to stay in, and its attempts at seriousness are constantly undermined by the comedy it should have embraced.
As of this writing, you can stream Hard Cash for free on Tubi.

Man of Tomorrow, the world-shattering follow-up to last summer’s universe-launching Superman, just got another hero. It’s alreasy well-stocked with characters from DC Comics’ stable of costumed characters, including Superman holdovers Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Supergirl (Milly Alcock), and of course the Man of Steel himself (David Corenswet). It’s also set to add John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) from the upcoming series Lanterns.

The newest hero in this pantheon, however, dates back before all of the above hit the screen. And while audiences have seen this particular hero before, they might never have expected to see him again, after the ignominious end of his cinematic universe. However, as naturalist J.B.S. Haldane once remarked, “The Creator would appear as endowed with a passion…for beetles.”
According to reports, Xolo Maridueña will return as Jaime Reyes, alias the Blue Beetle, in Man of Tomorrow. The character debuted in his own solo film, Blue Beetle, in 2023. The film was released during the latter stages of the last DC cinematic universe, the DCEU, and was well-received by critics, although it underperformed at the box office. Nevertheless, both Maridueña and Man of Tomorrow director James Gunn (who also oversees the new DC universe for Warner Bros.) have hinted that the Blue Beetle could return.
Man of Tomorrow is now in production, and will be released in theaters July 9, 2027. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

Hey Big Brother fans – the veto ceremony is over and we’ve got your results. We already reported that science nerd nominee Mallory Aurichio would use her veto. And now, we’ve got your confirmed renom made by HOH Dee Valladares at Monday’s veto meeting.
Big Brother: Jason’s Game Blowup and Angela’s Activation
Let’s do Jason first. He and Angela had that sweet moment on Sunday’s curated CBS episode. But turns out, that bonding was for nothing. Later, on the feeds, there was another moment of him crying to Angela about missing his mom and she comforted Jason.
Then when Angela walked out, Jason called her the B-word and made a face. Then later, Jason told Lyric and Drew Campbell that he was fake crying. And Angela found out. Also, we know Jason hates Rick Devens and wanted him out from the moment he walked into BB28.
Advertisement
Now, Jason formed a (fake) alliance with Drew and Melody Morris when they talked in the backyard. It’s called Court Jesters but it’s only real to Melody and Jason. Drew’s just faking. But Jason griped to Melody and Drew and said way too much.
BB28: Big Daddy in the House?
Jason said as long as the veterans are in the house, the newbies won’t be getting any screen time. Jason said they need to get the three icons out. Then, they will control the game. He also really wants Devens out because Jason thinks he’ll win AFP.
Jason referred to Devens as “Big Daddy”. And then Jason said all the boys in the house love him and that Devens is out there winning money for his two kids. Jason said he’ll take Devens out. Jason’s strategy is spot-on. His execution is sloppy.
Drew told Dee. Then, Jason walked into the storage room with them and suggested to Drew and Dee they form a Latino trio. Then, Jason and Dee went up to the medieval torture have-not room to talk. He tried to play off targeting Devens by blaming Haley Thogmartin.
Advertisement
Jason claimed Haley “got in his ear” about Devens. Dee clocked him but still made a (fake) alliance with Jason. But, it’s pretty clear neither Dee nor Jason were sincere. Then on Monday, pre-veto meeting, Drew did some more spilling.
What’s interesting is Angela worried Drew might not be loyal to the Crossovers. But then he showed his loyalty and squashed their doubts (although more emerged later). Drew told Devens and Angela that Jason is terrible for them.
He revealed Jason said he’s got Angela in his back pocket and she thinks Jason’s loyal to her. Drew told Angela that Jason confirmed he was fake crying to her. And Drew told Devens that Jason wants to backdoor Devens.
Also, Drew told Devens that Jason’s plotting to make a big performance out of putting him on the block. Angela’s in an uproar and said it was ridiculous for Jason to play on her heartstrings like that. Angela called Jason a mother-f***** and is ticked.

Big Brother: Angela’s Crazy Eyes and Haley’s Snake Moves
Angela’s on a crazy eyes simmer and one move away from blowing up. She was also activated by Haley Thogmartin pressing her about Lala. Sounds like Haley was trying to get the women to throw down.
What’s funny is Angela clocked it and raged to Barrett Pfeiffer about Haley trying to lure her into a fight. She dropped the mother-f***** bomb again about that. Angela swore to Barrett she’d never fight with LaTrice “Lala” Verrett.
Ironic since Lala doesn’t like Angela and wants her gone. Angela said Haley was being disgusting. And he said Haley told him Angela and Lala were competing to see who’s house mom. According to Drew, Haley wants to see the Angela versus Lala fight.
So, we’ve got Haley pretty much cooked along with Jason. After Haley pressed Dee hard to renom Lala and left, Dee raged to the cameras. She says Haley keeps leaving her slippers in the HOH room so she has an excuse to keep coming back thinking she’s being clever.
Advertisement
Not only did Angela call Jason and Haley out, Dee told the live feed cams that Haley’s a snake and also dropped a mother-f*****. Dee said nobody can trust that girl. She’d like to renom Haley. But Dee’s very good at separating emotion versus strategy.
Big Brother 28: Dee Valladares
Big Brother: Veto Results and Blockbuster Predictions
So, when the feeds went down for the veto meeting, I expected Dee to keep her temper in check and stick with renomming Ashley Trail even though she hates Haley. And then the feeds came back up and yes, that’s how it went.
Mallory took herself off the block and Ashley went up in her place onBB28. Heading into the Blockbuster, looks like Yash Patel is likely to be evicted if he doesn’t win it. And Taylor Brown and Ashley might be a close vote if Yash does win it.
Quick note, on The Red Corner. When I talked alliances before, I only mentioned Chuk, Haley and Kamu in that alliance. I deliberately did not include Dee and Devens in the list because they are faking being in that alliance and the only “real” members are those three.
At this point, if Angela wins HOH, I could see a world where the Red Corner’s on the block. All three – Chuk Anyanwu, Haley and Kamu Kirk. But that would be Angela playing emotionally. Dee and Devens might be able to keep her in check.
Advertisement
One last live feeds note that had me laughing. Angela said she knows she’s going to get some from her husband when he does the “three s’s” – shower, shave, and sh*t. Angela’s a real one. Between that and Lyric confessing her chronic farting, I love the lack of filter on these ladies.
Jason needs to win that HOH to protect himself since he’s done a whole lot of talking to a whole lot of people, and word’s getting around. Not that he’s wrong in what he’s saying but oversharing, especially to the wrong people, will cook you in Big Brother.
Also, Lyric and Rome were up canoodling until 5 AM. Later in the day, when Lyric was cooing to Rome about being obsessed with him, he said he’s obsessed with having a nap. That showmance is wearing him out.

NBA YoungBoy & Jazlyn Mychelle Recently Made Headlines
As The Shade Room previously reported, Jazlyn Mychelle and NBA YoungBoy recently made headlines earlier this month. At the time, fans were apparently speculating that the pair had split. However, YoungBoy took to his wife’s YouTube account, allegedly to make things clear to the public.
The fifth season of Dark Winds is now in production, continuing the adventures of Tribal Police officers Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) and Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon). However, one of season 4’s new menaces won’t be back for the new season. Dominic McNair, a sinister crime boss whose machinations drove the plot of season 4, will not return.
As revealed in a recent interview with Screen Rant, Titus Welliver will not be returning for season 5. It’s not for any lack of desire: in the interview, he praised the show for having an “amazing group of actors and writers.” Instead, it’s a matter of timing; Welliver is already committed to appearing in the fourth and final season of Netflix’s The Night Agent. He won’t rule out returning to the show for a future season, and speculates about how dangerous his incarcerated crime boss might be when and if he’s released. The 1970s-set Dark Winds is an adaptation of Tony Hillerman‘s Leaphorn and Chee crime novels; it is executive produced by the late Robert Redford and by George R.R. Martin, who was a longtime friend of Hillerman’s.

Four worlds. All of them brutal, complicated, and built on power, loyalty, and the price of survival. Taylor Sheridan doesn’t write heroes — he writes people who do what they have to do and live with the cost. Ten questions will reveal which one of his worlds you were made for.

Where do you feel most in your element? Sheridan’s worlds are as much about place as they are about people.

How do you feel about operating in the grey? Nobody in a Sheridan show has clean hands. The question is how they carry the dirt.

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.

Who Is Dominic McNair?
A Los Angeles crime boss, McNair was sent to jail as the result of an FBI investigation. However, even from jail he weilded great influence over the LA underworld; realizing that one of his underlings, Leroy Gorman, had agreed to testify against him at the behest of an FBI agent, McNair had both Gorman and the agent killed by fearsome survivalist assassin Irene Vaggan (Franka Potente). McNair intended to replace Gorman with an imposter to tank the case, but needed to eliminate anyone who knew the real Gorman; that included runaway Navajo teenager Billie Tsosie (Isabel Deroy-Olson). Her disappearance drew Leaphorn, Chee, and Bernadette Manueltito (Jessica Matten) to Los Angeles, where they eventually uncovered the scheme and sent Vaggan to jail. Leaphorn later visited McNair in jail; McNair was confident that he’d beat the charges facing him, but Leaphorn was defiant: “You know my name. You know where to find me. Come knock at my door.”
Welliver can currently be seen in The Westies, a new MGM+ crime drama with J.K. Simmons and Tom Brittney. He is also set to return as Harry Bosch in the second season of Prime Video’s Ballard; the series is a spin-off of Bosch and Bosch: Legacy, which starred Welliver as the titular LAPD detective for ten combined seasons.
Season 5 of Dark Winds is now in production; no release date has yet been announced. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

General Hospital fans, we have got Curtis Ashford’s (Donnell Turner) trial coming up soon. And also this week, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) goes over and harasses Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) into going into labor. And with Curtis’s baby making an appearance in the next few episodes, that will make him much more desperate in court.
We’re going to talk about Curtis’ twisted trial strategy. He may hit a new low trying to avoid doing the time after he did the crime.
General Hospital: Curtis’ Dirty Trial Strategy
So, ADA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) offered Curtis a sweetheart of a plea deal. Two years but out on parole in eight months. And considering the brutal attack and all the witnesses seemed like a pretty good offer. But Curtis told Jordan he didn’t want to do any prison time because he will miss out on his baby’s birth and the early months of their life.
So, heading into court, Curtis is already planning some ruthless tactics with unscrupulous Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight) working for him. I love him, but let’s admit it, Laura Collins’ (Genie Francis) brother is a sketchy guy. And with Curtis planning to play dirty in court, Martin is the perfect ambulance chaser to help him do this.

General Hospital: Curtis Fixated on Isaiah
So, if you remember, Curtis told Martin he wants to accuse Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) of being the second driver who left the scene to justify the brutal assault. But Martin told Curtis the judge might not allow that to even be brought up. But Martin said he can try and told Curtis if the judge lets them do it, it could be really compelling.
Problem is the PCPD now thinks that Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) was the second driver because of Lucy Coe’s (Lynn Herring) false statement and Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) getting Willow’s trip log altered. So, as long as the cops think Jordan ran Willow off the road, that’s not going to help Curtis in court at all.
And Martin would likely be slapped down by the judge if he just tries to accuse somebody who’s not even on the PCPD’s radar of being involved in the wreck. There’s no witnesses that put Isaiah on the road. It’s just that he, like so many people in Port Charles, has a black SUV. And Willow’s falsified trip log puts her on that road.
General Hospital: Willow’s Exonerated
However, Curtis remains certain that Isaiah is to blame. And when Martin and Curtis talked about whether Willow was framed, Jordan suggested they go to Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) because he’s Willow’s biggest defender and they think Chase would help exonerate Willow.

However, Chase knows Brook Lynn framed Willow. So, right now, Chase is vowing to keep it quiet as long as Willow doesn’t face criminal charges. But if Jordan comes to Chase and he realizes Willow could be called onto the stand, then Chase might take action. Because if Martin tries to throw Isaiah under the bus, the DA’s office might call Willow to the stand to contradict their wild theory.
At a minimum, the DA’s office could enter the trip log into evidence to block Martin trying to implicate Isaiah in the crash and ADA Justine has to stay out of the case because Jordan’s her friend. But if it came down to Willow being publicly outed and it ruining her congressional career and all that, Chase might force Brook Lynn to undo what she did. And I’m sure the authorities could correct the trip log. And even if it is undone, you know, that would be really problematic. The PCPD would have to drop it. Problematic for Isaiah. Good for Curtis.
And with Willow exonerated, that would open the door to them accusing Isaiah. I can see Curtis going all out to make that happen. But if Curtis accuses Isaiah, I’m betting Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) would come forward. She could say that Isaiah saw her that night instead of Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) and give him an alibi. That would be super messy for Curtis.
General Hospital: Jordan’s Desperation and Portia’s Labor
Another thing that Martin suggested was to put Jordan on the stand. He said the jury would sympathize with Curtis if they saw her horrific injuries. But again, Jordan admitted to the cops she caused her crash. Even if the other driver had stopped, her face was injured in the crash, it had nothing to do with the actions of the second driver. Curtis’s whole premise is that they might have died. They didn’t.

And the injuries done to her were primarily caused by the crash. And also, as self-conscious as Jordan is about her face, putting her on the stand seems cruel. But Jordan might agree if it would save Curtis. But I don’t think it’ll help in the end and it would be a terrible ordeal for Jordan. And I honestly thought Curtis and Martin were mercenary to even suggest it. And Curtis seemed totally open to it.
General Hospital: Jordan Pushes Portia into Labor
Another thing going into this criminal trial is that it looks like Portia’s baby is going to be born before opening arguments. So Jordan goes over to Portia’s place and she starts something nasty. I initially thought Jordan was going to go over and be nice and ask Portia to get Isaiah to stop pressing criminal charges. It may start that way, but then looks like Jordan goes crazy and she starts screaming at Portia and we’re going to see Jordan accusing Portia that she’s the one causing this whole thing. Jordan has just lost her whole entire mind.
Curtis is the one who’s been crazy about Isaiah. Don’t forget Curtis was already emotionally involved with Jordan. And Curtis and Portia had a major blow up, a marriage ending fight about Jordan. Portia told Curtis if he walks out the door, their marriage is over. And he walked out the door. It was after that fight that Portia slept with Isaiah. Their marriage was over except for the paperwork. But in Curtis’s mind, Portia was unfaithful and Isaiah moved in on his wife.
General Hospital: Curtis Ashford – Jordan Ashford – Portia Robinson
General Hospital: Portia Goes into Labor
So, looks like that Portia is in labor this week and about to give birth with Jordan maybe having to deliver the baby. It’s always very soapy when your rival has to deliver your baby. Unless they stop Portia’s labor, which seems unlikely, Curtis’s baby is born in the next few episodes, perhaps by the end of the week, because it is the last few days of July sweeps. And this is important because Curtis was already worried about missing the birth of his and Portia’s child. And once he meets that new baby and falls in love at first sight, then Curtis will be even more desperate to avoid prison.
So, I think he and Martin will still go to extremes in court because Curtis knows that any time that he spends behind bars is time that Isaiah is spending playing daddy to his baby. And honestly, he might provoke Curtis and say something. You know, Isaiah may let Curtis know he’ll be daddying Portia’s new kid while Curtis is in Pentonville sharing a shower with other felons. If Isaiah provokes Curtis into attacking him again, I think prison is almost guaranteed. So, we’ll see how it all plays out on General Hospital.

General Hospital: Portia’s Long Overdue
But it looks like Portia has the baby this week, which is good because, by the way, she is more than eleven months pregnant. She got pregnant at the end of August last year and the long breaks that Finola Hughes and Steve Burton took messed up the GH writers and producers’ plan. So they just turned around and pushed a lot of plots back. And because of that, Portia is forty-six weeks pregnant. That kid is way overdue.
And it looks like Curtis may have his new baby on his mind when he heads into court. And this week, Isaiah interrupts Portia and Curtis. It could be when they are looking at their new baby and then in walks Isaiah with balloons, a teddy bear, and a kiss for Portia. You know, that would make Curtis lose his whole mind. And at this point, most fans want to see Curtis behind bars, at least for a little while. It might happen, but I’m sure that Martin and Curtis will play dirty with some sort of twisted trial strategy.

He then credited his boo, Kim Kardashian, saying: “And of course, of course, it’s Kim.”

Kim K Previously Joked About Her Kids Telling Her To Date
It’s unclear how the Kardashian-West children, now ages 7-13, feel about mommy’s new boo! Back in August 2024, Kim Kardashian admitted on ‘The Tonight Show’ that she wasn’t ready to date again. However, at the time, her kids were pressing her love life. She said, “It’s so funny because my kids try to set me up like they’re ready now, and I’m not.” She also said that some of her kids, like Saint, were “so particular” about their stepdad goals. He allegedly requested a basketball or soccer player, while another of the West children pointed to streamers as an option.
“Like they have lists, and they try to sneakily set me up, and I’m like, ‘Guys this just isn’t what I want right now.”
