UPDATE — 2/23/26, 6:15 p.m. ET: The pastor of the church attended by Caleb C. Flynn and his wife, Ashley Flynn has commented on her death after Caleb was accused of killing her in their Tipp City, Ohio home on February 16.
Jordan Paul Hansen, the pastor of the Christian Life Center, said in a statement shared to Facebook on Friday, February 20, that Ashley “was a devoted wife, loving mother, and cherished” church member.
“As the events surrounding this tragedy continue to unfold, we join you in the shock, sadness, and unanswered questions many are experiencing,” the statement read, in part.
Hansen said that Ashley had two daughters.
“Two young daughters have lost their mother, and a family continues to walk through profound grief,” Hansen wrote. “Please continue lifting them in prayer.”
Original story below:
The husband of an Ohio woman who was found shot dead inside her home following a reported burglary has been charged with murder in her death, authorities said.
Caleb C. Flynn, 39, was arrested the evening of Thursday, February 19, in connection with the killing of Ashley Flynn, 37, which occurred the morning of Monday, February 16, at their Tipp City home, according to a news release shared by the Tipp City Police Department.
Caleb appeared on the reality show American Idol in 2013.
Caleb is charged with one count of murder, two counts of felonious assault with a deadly weapon, and two counts of tampering with evidence, court records viewed by Us Weekly show.
Caleb pleaded not guilty to the charges at an arraignment the morning of Friday, February 20, court records show.
His defense attorney, Patrick L. Mulligan, said in an emailed statement to Us on February 20 that Caleb “looks forward to defending this case.”
“We are both disappointed and concerned about the short timeline and seeming rush to judgment in this case,” Mulligan said. “When the government runs out of leads or can’t develop leads and looks at a surviving spouse in cases such as these, the chance of a wrongful conviction increases.”
Caleb and Ashley, who was substitute teacher and school volleyball coach, were church members of the Christian Life Center in Butler Township, where Caleb previously worked as a music pastor, the Dayton Daily News reported.
While working for his church’s music ministry, Caleb appeared on American Idol during the show’s 12th season, according to the newspaper.
In an interview on the show, the newspaper reported that he expressed his love for Ashley, saying: “I love my wife more than anything. She is very, very pretty. I love her.”
On February 16, Tipp City police said in an initial news release that offices arrived at the Flynns’ home around 2:31 a.m. that morning after “a reported burglary with a resident inside the home who had been shot.”
They found Caleb, Caleb and Ashley’s two children, and Ashley, who was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police, Us previously reported.
Tipp City police noted that officers did not locate any potential suspects after securing the crime scene.
In an update issued later that day, the police department said the circumstances surrounding the investigation were a “complex situation.”
According to Caleb’s criminal complaint, he is accused of staging the crime scene on February 16.
The complaint states that he “murdered his wife” that morning and “officers were [led] astray by the staging of the crime scene.”
In a statement shared by Tipp City Schools on February 16, Ashley was remembered for “her beautiful smile, warmth, kindness, and the positive impact she had on so many.”
She previously taught for the school district before starting work as a substitute teacher, according to the district. She also coached Tippecanoe Middle School volleyball.
On February 19, the police department said, “As previously stated, the family and community deserve a thorough, professional, and compassionate investigation into this very sensitive matter.”
“As a result of the investigation, probable cause existed to charge Caleb Flynn with the murder of his wife,” the department added. “Due to the ongoing nature of this case, specific investigative details will not be released at this time.”
Caleb’s bond has been set at $2 million, court records show.
If he posts bond, he will be put on house arrest and electronic monitoring, and will not be allowed to see his children, according to court records.
Morgan Fairchild has opened up about the darker side of Hollywood and the conscious choice she made not to indulge in its pressures.
She revealed that she decided early on not to “sell her soul,” a stance that was reinforced by advice from a mentor.
Over the decades, Morgan Fairchild has continued to age gracefully and has earned recognition as one of Hollywood’s most iconic blondes.

In an industry often defined by compromise and cutthroat ambition, Morgan Fairchild says she made a deliberate choice not to “sell her soul” to get ahead in Hollywood.
The actress, who began her career in the early 1970s, shared the revelation during a recent conversation with Fox News Digital.
“I made my decision early on that I was not going to sell my soul or my pride or my dignity to succeed in this business,” the actress told the news outlet.
She has enjoyed a sterling career over the years since her debut, starring in films like “Seduction,” “Freak,” as well as TV roles, “Friends” and “Dallas.”
Still, while she believes that compromising might have pushed her even further, Fairchild has no regrets about not budging.

“I might’ve done a little better if I had, but I was willing to live with that,” Fairchild continued.

According to Fairchild, she was confronted with the narrative that she needed to compromise to get ahead from the very moment she moved to Hollywood.
“When I first moved to L.A., everyone told me, ‘If you don’t go to the right parties, if you don’t sleep with the right people, and if you don’t do what everybody does, you’re never going to get anywhere,’” the “Flamingo Road” star revealed.
Realizing this was how the industry was run left Fairchild in shock, as many of the vices people expected her to participate in weren’t things that were part of her lifestyle or habits.
“Well, I don’t even drink, much less do drugs. I just never did,” Fairchild recalled. “When they told me that’s what it takes to make it here, I thought, ‘Then I guess I just won’t have a career.’

Even now, Fairchild believes there were “jobs she lost” simply because she “wouldn’t sleep with people.”
“I know that, and I accept that I wasn’t willing to accept that. I just wasn’t willing to sleep with them,” she added.

Despite her decision not to compromise her standards, there were moments during Fairchild’s early days in the industry when she questioned her choice.
One such moment came at a cast party where she recalled attendees being “a little strange,” an experience that left her shocked and feeling emotionally unsettled.
“I went to a cast party, and I realized everybody was a little strange,” Fairchild recalled. “The next day, I was walking with one of my mentors, and he said, ‘You seem a little down.’ I told him, ‘I really like working on this movie, but I’m realizing it’s a strange world. I walked out on this party, but that’s the reality of the business, and I can’t just keep walking out on reality.’”
After sharing her plight, the mentor, whom Fairchild chose not to name, offered what the actress described as the “best piece of advice” she has ever received.
“He said, ‘Nonsense, you can always walk out on reality.’ So that’s how I approached Hollywood,” the actress revealed.

Now 76, Fairchild still remains one of Hollywood’s most memorable blondes.
This reputation has seemingly been further fueled by how gracefully she has aged over the years.
As such, it came as no surprise when fans flooded her with praise after she shared photos of herself alongside familiar faces, including everyone from “The Facts of Life” and “Palm Royale” star Mindy Cohn to “Good Times” legend Jimmie Walker.
The pictures appeared to have been taken during this year’s edition of Albuquerque Comic Con, as hinted in the caption of the post.
“#OnMyWalk to @abqcomcon with friends @mindycohn , @realmickfoley , my Worst Cooks in America pal, Jimmie Walker & Mr. T Rex himself! Great weekend,” Fairchild wrote.

Shortly after sharing the images, the famous actress’s post was swarmed with kind words from her supporters who praised her ageless look.
“I need the name of Ms. Fairchild’s plastic surgeon,” a fan wrote, while another commented, “Morgan looks absolutely stunning.”
“She looks good, hasn’t aged at all,” a third netizen said, and a fourth added, “she has got timeless beauty.”
Tom Ellis revealed why he didn’t watch most of FBI before filming his new spinoff CIA.
“To start with, I certainly wanted to keep it separate because it is a very different agency and they run very differently and they operate very differently,” Ellis, 47, exclusively told Us Weekly before the Monday, February 23, premiere. “The fun of the clash actually plays out better the less I know about FBI and what they do.”
Ellis “watched a little bit” before pressing pause.
“Obviously, I’ve been aware of the shows and of the Dick Wolf TV kingdom for years and years and years. But I didn’t want to know too much about that,” he explained. “We do cross-pollinate a little bit. But it’s two shows. I wouldn’t say they’re spinoff shows so much as two shows that really complement each other.”
While previewing CIA, Ellis broke down the biggest difference compared to FBI, saying, “The FBI deals in crimes that have already happened predominantly and the CIA try to stop the crime from happening in the first place. FBI is a very public present arm of the law enforcement. They’re the poster boy of U.S. law enforcement. And the CIA is very much in the shadows — and doesn’t want to be on any poster. It doesn’t want people to see who they are and they operate in a very sort of voyeuristic manner.”
FBI debuted on CBS in 2019 and follows the agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York City. The network followed that up with FBI: Most Wanted, which aired from 2020 to 2025, about the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Fugitive Task Force. There was also the FBI: International spinoff about the International Fly Team that ran for four seasons before concluding in 2025.

In April 2025, CBS gave CIA a straight-to-series order starring Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss. According to the official synopsis, CIA centers on “two unlikely partners — a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer and a by-the-book, seasoned and smart FBI agent who believes in the rule of law.”
The description continued: “When this odd couple are assigned to work out of CIA’s New York Station, they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually be their strength.”
After rounding out the cast, CIA initially faced a showrunner change when Warren Leight replaced FBI: Most Wanted‘s David Hudgins as showrunner. The changes kept coming when Michael Michele, who was one of the series’ leads, left in November 2025. Days later, Eriq La Salle left the series as executive producer. He was attached to CIA since its conception and directed the pilot before his exit.
Leight then exited as showrunner as well, which caused production to pause. Mike Weiss, the current showrunner of FBI, took over as CIA continued to find its voice before its series premiere.
“The best things come to those who wait,” Ellis teased. “They decided relatively early on that CIA was going to be midseason. That’s actually been beneficial for us because we didn’t have a pilot on this show. Sometimes it’s difficult to really know what a show is until you’ve actually made it. Then you start looking at it and go, ‘These are the pieces and whatnot.’ So it’s given us that little bit of time to actually kind of organically work out what the show is.”
He continued: “What I can say is now we’ve got to that point the show is really going to be worth the wait. For anyone that loves FBI, they’re going to love it. For anyone who loves the Dick Wolf world, they’re going to love it. And for people that want a new show — that don’t watch either of those things — there’s something for those people as well. It’s got a lot of things and it’s got humor in it as well, which is always a big selling point for me.”
CIA airs on CBS Mondays at 10 p.m. ET.
Miss J Alexander shocked fans when it was revealed in the Netflix documentary about “America’s Next Top Model,” that he suffered a debilitating stroke in 2022 that left him with limited mobility and outrageous medical bills.
Following the release of the docuseries, a personal friend of Alexander created a GoFundMe to mixed reaction, and now he has clarified his intentions behind the fundraiser.

Steven Grossman, a talent manager and producer, shared a throwback photo on Instagram of himself with Miss J Alexander, Jay Manuel, and Kelly Cutrone, paired with a lengthy caption about his health struggles before asking his followers to contribute to the GoFundMe.
“I started a @gofundme to help @miss_jalexander with the overwhelming financial burden of medical bills and long term care,” Grossman’s caption read in part. “So if Miss J ever made you smile or laugh – I hope you will consider donating or sharing with your community. Let’s all come together for someone who has inspired so much joy, confidence and individuality in all of us.”

In the comments of the post, an Instagram user asked Grossman why he was starting a GoFundMe if he was so close to Alexander, also alluding to his financial status as a Hollywood manager and producer, and Grossman offered a defense.
“Because he kept it private for years until the Netflix documentary came out and it wasn’t my news to share,” he wrote in response. “For clarity though I’ve never repped Miss J. He’s just a friend.”
Some criticism arose regarding the GoFundMe, specifically as it relates to recent Hollywood figures having fundraisers on the platform, such as late actors Eric Dane and James Van Der Beek.
To date, the GoFundMe has raised over $17,000 of its $50,000 goal.

“Miss J. has been bravely fighting his way back and struggling to live independently,” the fundraiser reads, which has raised close to $6,000 of its $100,000 goal.
“We are hoping to secure full-time, round-the-clock care and help with the on-going regular physical, speech, and occupational therapies. He is currently confined to a wheelchair stemming from what we hope is only temporary paralysis and his right arm remains immobile,” the message continued.
The statement then shared that the medical expenses have put a financial strain on the former runway coach.

“While he has shown incredible strength and resilience against all odds, the financial burden of ongoing treatment, specialized care, and daily living support is beyond overwhelming,” the fundraiser read.
“Your donation—no matter the size—will go toward rehabilitation services, in-home care, medical bills, and essential living costs incurred on this long road of recovery,” the message continued.

In “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model,” Miss J discussed his stroke and shared that Tyra Banks initially reached out via text message.
When asked if Banks was among those who visited him alongside fellow “ANTM” stars Jay Manuel and Nigel Barker, Miss J offered an update. “She just sent me a text that she wants to come and visit me, but no, not yet.”

“Reality Check” director Daniel Sivan revealed in an interview with Netflix that conversations with Miss J prior to filming shaped the way his story was told in the docuseries.
“What was important is not framing Miss J as a survivor,” Sivan said. “He is not his health. First and foremost, he’s a diva who just shattered every single glass ceiling.”

“I spent five weeks in a coma … I couldn’t walk, and I couldn’t talk, and I thought to myself, ‘What was I going to do?’ After spending five weeks in a coma and one year, five months in the hospital, I’m alive to tell it as I lived it, and no dreams of the afterlife, not one,” he said.
Despite still being unable to walk, the famed former runway coach is determined to get back to his roots.
“I miss being the queen of the runway, the queen of the catwalk, of course,” the former “America’s Next Top Model” judge said. “I’m the person who taught models how to walk. I taught models how to walk, and now I can’t walk. I’m determined to walk. I’m sure you’re going to see me again. I’m sure. It’s not over for me yet.”

Tracy Morgan‘s mockumentary The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins found a way to poke fun at Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck‘s marriage.
During the Monday, February 23, episode of the NBC sitcom, Reggie’s (Tracy Morgan) ex-wife, Monica (Erika Alexander), shared her thoughts on the documentary about her ex, telling documentarian Arthur (Daniel Radcliffe), “We trust you! This could work for all of us.”
Monica did, however, have one concern about the project.
“I just don’t want us to come off like Jennifer Lopez in her documentary,” she told Arthur, who replied, “Right, no Ben Affleck. Good note!”
Monica was referencing Lopez’s 2024 music visual film This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, a highly stylized take on Lopez’s life. It accompanied her most recent album and dove deep into her renewed relationship with Affleck, 53, in between self-help parodies and sci-fi interludes.
Lopez, 56, and Affleck originally reconnected in 2021 after breaking off their 2004 engagement. The pair went on to tie the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022 and had a second ceremony the following month. Before their 2024 split, Lopez praised Affleck’s help with This Is Me … Now: A Love Story, which served as a sequel to her 2002 album This Is Me … Then that was dedicated to Affleck
“I was like, ‘I don’t write, I don’t do this,’” she recalled at a February 2024 press conference. “He was like, ‘You do, you write, you direct, you produce, you choreograph, you do all the things. Start stepping into that, start owning a little bit of who you are.’”
The singer was excited to share a glimpse of her and Affleck’s love story, telling Variety at the time, “I’ve been on this journey, and I’ve been trying to figure it out. Now I feel like because Ben and I have rediscovered each other — and now that we’re married — I have something to offer. This is the defining piece of work that’s going to close that chapter so I can move on to the next part of my life.”
Lopez also previously gushed over Affleck’s commitment to the project.
“We collaborate very well together, and nobody knows my story more than he does,” she told Entertainment Tonight in December 2023. “So we were able to kind of sit down and really dig into it, in a way that I don’t think any other writer could’ve done with me.”
At the time, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Lopez “wouldn’t have wished for anybody else” to collaborate with her on the Prime Video release, adding, “Nobody knows her better than Ben.” Lopez felt “grateful” to have Affleck on her team, with the source saying, “He helped her feel safe to share parts of her nobody has ever known.”
Us later confirmed in August 2024 that Lopez filed for divorce on the two-year anniversary of her and Affleck’s Georgia wedding ceremony.
The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins airs on NBC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.
Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for ‘The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins’ Episode 2
Summary
On the surface, NBC’s newest sitcom, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, is about a disgraced football star (Tracy Morgan) trying to rewrite his legacy. But it’s also about the guy holding the camera because, as these first two episodes prove, millennial filmmaker Arthur Tobin (Daniel Radcliffe) is not just there to “document” the former athlete. He’s there to poke around until that scar talks.
It’s why Episode 2’s “Nittany Means Big” hits as hard as it does. In Monday’s latest half-hour, we learn that Arthur isn’t satisfied with the clean version of Dinkins’ “food poisoning game.” Once he notices Reggie has Penn State newspapers dated before the game even happened, it’s all over, and the truth gets dragged into broad daylight, where we learn of a mascot theft plan, a gross trash-water escape, and vomiting that wasn’t a freak accident so much as a natural consequence of trash-water.
As Erika Alexander’s Monica accidentally gives away a crucial tell while Arthur interviews her for the documentary, the award-winning actress frames what that does to Reggie perfectly in an interview with Collider. “That’s the beginning of him showing that he’s an unreliable narrator about his own life,” she says as Reggie’s reaction is pure Reggie — anger, denial, and control-freak panic. But Morgan’s take on Alexander’s note is almost weirdly sincere: “Nah, the blow was to the public… The lie was to the public.”
It’s that denial that series co-creator Robert Carlock also points out that Reggie and Arthur share in common, and more so than their clashing egos. As the former showrunner for 30 Rock puts it, they both have “a scandal, a failure, or something that they feel like they need to get past.”
In our exclusive interviews with actors Morgan and Alexander, alongside showrunners, Carlock and Sam Means, we unpack how Episode 2’s “food poisoning” reveal rewrites Reggie’s myth, why Monica’s been carrying the fallout for years, how Arthur’s own scandal fuels his obsession with the truth — and what all of it sets up as the fallout only gets messier in the remaining eight episodes this season. Including those 30 Rock Easter eggs you might have spotted!
COLLIDER: Episode 2 sort of reveals the truth behind the food poisoning game, and it reframes Reggie’s legend. Is the bigger blow that he lied to the public, or that he’s been lying to himself about what kind of player or person he was?
MORGAN: Nah, the blow was to the public. I know who I am! I know what I am. The lie was to the public. That was the bigger blow — when you betray the public. I play football! They believed in me! And then I gambled.
ALEXANDER: And you know what? That’s absolutely the truth. That’s the beginning of him showing that he’s an unreliable narrator about his own life. And they both shared the lie. Actually, she accidentally gave it away when Tobin was interviewing Monica. She didn’t mean to, but then suddenly it just pokes holes in a person that’s kind of tired of being a pincushion. Tracy doesn’t want all this stuff. He’s mad at her. He’s like, “Why did you tell him that?” And she’s right because Reggie can’t take it.
MORGAN: She called him a bearded infant.
ALEXANDER: [Laughs] Well, you know, that’s a pretty correct description.
The 10 Wildest Fake TV Shows and Movies on’ 30 Rock,’ Ranked
’30 Rock’ left its audience wishing these series and movies were real.
Yeah, it is. [Laughs] Erika, Episode 2 makes it very clear that Monica has been carrying a lot of the history. What’s the one thing that you say you would say that she refuses to say out loud because she knows it would change everything?
ALEXANDER: I think that maybe as a woman and a protector of her family, she has dreams of her own, and that she’s tired of sort of sacrificing them for the messes that Reggie Dinkins keeps causing in her life, and she wants that freedom. She’s right about the agency, and she wants that. I think she’ll refuse to say it, but maybe that’s her journey is to start to get more for her life and not just work for her ex-husband.
MORGAN: She ain’t going nowhere.
ALEXANDER: You see how it is?
MORGAN: She said that in the pilot. She said she don’t need me. I said, “Good, then go on with your bad behind.”
ALEXANDER: Tania, do you hear this?
MORGAN: And when I was outside with the radio, what happened? She came back to Papa. I had the radio, and she refused to let me put the album on, and she came right back to me.
ALEXANDER: What’s that syndrome called when a person can’t leave their torturer?
Stockholm syndrome.
ALEXANDER: Stockholm syndrome.
MORGAN: Stockholm!
ALEXANDER: That’s exactly what she’s got. [Laughs]
MORGAN: Stockholm in the house!
ALEXANDER: And he’s happy about it, Tania.
MORGAN: Stockholm in the house!
COLLIDER: I read an interview where Tina Fey, who is the show’s EP, said there are 30 Rock Easter eggs throughout the entire first season. What was the rule for you guys? How far should you go before it stops feeling like the same universe and becomes something new?
ROBERT CARLOCK: That’s a great way of putting it. I hadn’t thought of it. Part of it, to be honest, is like, “Well, we need a name for this wine. Well, we already have the Donaghy Estates label. Legal has already cleared it.” We did try to do one Easter egg that we tried to put in. We needed a name for a fancy store, and in the 30 Rock world, there was a store called Vattené, which means “go away” in Italian. Evidently, since then, someone has started a clothing store called Vattené, so it didn’t clear! Our own stupid name didn’t clear.
When does it get to be too much? I’m not sure. I don’t want this to be in the same universe as 30 Rock. I think maybe eventually, in Season 7, Tracy Jordan will play Reggie in the movie or in a sketch on The Girlie Show. But we do want it to share that DNA at the very least. It is a little nod both to hopefully people who liked that show and enjoy finding those little things, but also the promise of this is going to be a weird take on the world we live in and be full of jokes.
In Episode 2, that is the first time the show really punctures Reggie’s mythology with the truth behind the food poisoning game. When you built that reveal, what did you want the audience to realize about the stories that Reggie tells himself versus everyone else?
CARLOCK: There is a level of this. One of the reasons, Tania, that we wanted the characters to include the maker of the documentary, and for everyone to be aware of the documentary, is that idea, which I think is so prevalent today, where people are able to photograph themselves and celebrate themselves and promote themselves so easily and so readily. At its heart, this is a family comedy, but there is a level that you’re getting at, which is that theme of the way we try to present ourselves to the world. Reggie and Arthur, as well, and Monica, you discover, all have really significant reasons in their lives for wanting to maybe change the narrative that’s emerged, and take control. The show is about redemption and second acts, and that plays into it.
SAM MEANS: Yeah, what he said.
Sam, Daniel [Radcliffe] has such a specific comedic sort of rhythm. Did the Arthur character change when you saw Daniel in the part?
MEANS: That’s interesting, because we have worked with Daniel before. He was on the [Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt] interactive, and then he was also a voice on our animated show, Mulligan, so we’re very aware of his comedic chops, and we are excited to bring those to broadcast television, because I feel like a lot of people might not be familiar with them.
CARLOCK: And we wrote Arthur for him.
MEANS: Exactly. So from go, when we imagined the character of the director, the sort of self-important director coming in with his own agenda, we had Daniel in mind. So, it is very much written for him, but at the same time…
CARLOCK: You’re always learning.
MEANS: Yeah. Seeing him and Tracy together and how they interact, especially, creates a feedback loop. And we always consider the characters on our show as a collaboration with the actors who played them, and he’s very thoughtful about the character. He, maybe more than anyone, is coming to us having read the script and thought about it, with thoughts about his character and where it should be going, and even about jokes for other characters. He had cut a joke once for Tracy after the table, really just for room, just for time, and he came to us and said, “I really miss that joke.” [Laughs]
CARLOCK: And we put it back.
That pairing is not obvious. That’s what I love so much about ensembles, and this show does it so well. When you put them all together, there are different comedic elements, like when you put Bobby [Moynihan]’s character with Erika [Alexander]. There is something to be said for seeing different layers, so I do appreciate that.
If these first two episodes are proving that it’s never really a neat comeback story, what’s the next big turn that you’re excited for viewers to see that changes how we understand Reggie and Arthur’s partnership?
MEANS: I think one big thing is their relationship with each other. Obviously, they’re very, very different people, but they do have the same thing in their past, a scandal, a failure, or something that they feel like they need to get past, and they need redemption for. So, even though they’ll always be butting heads about what the documentary should be about, and on a very personal level, what a good life is. They also have this commonality and this common ground that, over the course of the season, even if Arthur is trying to push back against it on a professional level, ends up with them becoming friends.
CARLOCK: I think it’s a sort of a lesson, and you touched on it in your previous question, too, and we learned at 30 Rock, which is, how do you create an ensemble where there’s a ton of disagreement about what sandwiches to order and politics, and also all this overlap? And one of the really fun things about 30 Rock was like in Season 5, saying, “What would a Frank-Jack story be like?” and sort of going in immediately and just knowing the skills that these actors had, and saying, “What’s a Rusty-Monica story?” and realizing, “Oh, that can work. He has something to give her.” Surprisingly, it’s a sort of dating story in the third episode. Anyway, just shuffling the deck and seeing what the characters bring out of each other.
MEANS: Right off the bat, we wanted to get Monica and Brina together to hopefully subvert that ex-wife and new wife story that you might expect from the two of them, and also let their characters exist in a world that’s not defined necessarily by Reggie.

The Voice: Battle of Champions is poised to be one of the most legendary seasons yet.
Us Weekly can exclusively reveal that season 29 of NBC’s singing competition series will feature commentary from social media star and comedian Druski, in addition to multiple NBA legends including former Los Angeles Lakers star Derek Fisher.
“We’re your new coaches,” Druski, 31, shares in the must-see announcement. “Whoa, whoa. We’re actually not your new coaches. We’re just doing color commentary. My bad, bro. I get mixed up with the words. That’s my fault.”
All jokes aside, Druski will be joined by a string of NBA All Stars throughout the season, to align with Legendary February at NBC.
In the past month alone, NBC has aired Super Bowl LX, the NBA All-Star Game and the 2026 Winter Olympics. Meanwhile, NBA on NBC brings prime time NBA games to NBC and Peacock every Sunday night from February 1 through April 5.
“This ultra competitive season needs some expert analysts,” Druski shares in the clip. “And with me? NBA legend, the one and only Derek Fisher. We’re breaking down the competition from a whole new angle. We’ll be here throughout the blinds tracking every triple turn. This is going to be fun.”
Starting Monday night, coaches John Legend, Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine will turn their red chairs if they like what they hear during the legendary Blind Auditions.
If multiple coaches turn, the singing contestant gets to pick which team they want to be on.
As an added twist to season 29, Battle of Champions will feature an all-new Triple Turn Competition and Super Steal.
“This season, triple turns matter,” Fisher, 51, says when describing the moment when all three coaches turn their red chairs and fight for a contestant. “The coach who wins the most gets a big advantage in the battles.”
Fisher knows a thing or two about being competitive. As Druski pointed out, the NBA player is the proud owner of five NBA championship rings thanks to his career primarily as a Los Angeles Laker.
He now serves as an advisor of The Play Equity Fund, an organization committed to providing the transformational power of sport and play to all children, in addition to his roles as an analyst on NBA on NBC.
Last December, millions of viewers cast their vote for the winner of The Voice season 28.
College student Aiden Ross, a member of Team Niall Horan, earned the top prize after an electrifying vocal performance of JVKE’s “Golden Hour,” followed by a heartfelt rendition of “The Winner Takes It All” by ABBA in the finale.
“Since the minute [my] chair turned around [in Aiden’s blind audition], I just felt like I was looking at myself up there,” Horan, 32, exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2025. “Like, there’s so many comparisons to be made. … That youthful energy that he’s got, you know, the excitement to want to make records and write songs and stuff like that, is something that I see a lot of myself in. But I’m definitely not as talented as that dude.”

Tourette’s syndrome campaigner John Davidson has apologized for hurling the expletive N-word at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo as they presented an award at the BAFTAs over the weekend.
Davidson has garnered massive backlash since he made the remark, with actor Jamie Foxx blasting the whole thing as “unacceptable.”
Meanwhile, John Davidson’s black co-star has defended him, explaining how the syndrome makes him unable to control what he says.

John Davidson has apologized for using the N-word on black actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo as they presented an award at the BAFTAs on Sunday.
During the high-profile event held at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, the Tourette’s campaigner was heard saying the expletive word to Jordan and Lindo, but both actors kept their cool and didn’t react on stage.
Now, Davidson has released a statement to show just how sorry he is for his outburst while also thanking the organizers for making everyone aware of his condition.

“I wanted to thank BAFTA and everyone involved in the awards last night for their support and understanding and inviting me to attend the broadcast,” he said, per the Daily Mail. “I appreciated the announcement to the auditorium in advance of the recording, warning everyone that my tics are involuntary and are not a reflection of my personal beliefs.”
He shared his joy on the warm round of applause he got after the announcement, explaining that it made him feel “welcomed and understood in an environment that would normally be impossible for me.”

Tourette’s Syndrome is a neurological condition that causes a person to make involuntary, repetitive movements or sounds called tics. Davidson also suffers from coprolalia, which is a condition that makes him involuntarily say socially unacceptable words or phrases, like when he famously shouted “f-ck the Queen” at Queen Elizabeth II in 2019 when he was awarded his MBE.
“In addition to the announcement by Alan Cumming, the BBC and BAFTA, I can only add that I am, and always have been, deeply mortified if anyone considers my involuntary tics to be intentional or to carry any meaning,” he notes in his statement.

“I was in attendance to celebrate the film of my life, I Swear, which, more than any film or TV documentary, explains the origins, condition, traits, and manifestations of Tourette Syndrome,” he continued. “I have spent my life trying to support and empower the Tourette’s community and to teach empathy, kindness, and understanding from others, and I will continue to do so.”
“I chose to leave the auditorium early in the ceremony as I was aware of the distress my tics were causing,” he shared.

Davidson’s life story is what inspired the film “I Swear,” which aims to create awareness about the condition and to shed light on the challenges those suffering from it face.
However, the campaigner, who has had it since age 12, faced backlash, particularly from Jamie Foxx, who didn’t believe it was an involuntary act, labeling it as “unacceptable.”
“Out of all the words you could’ve said, Tourette’s makes you say that. Nah, he meant that sh-t. Unacceptable,” the Oscar winner said.
When he shared his apology, several netizens also slammed Davidson, claiming his apology wasn’t earnest, especially as he failed to mention Jordan and Lindo by name.
One person on X wrote, “He didn’t even mention their names or directly apologise to the other people he yelled slurs at, but I’m supposed to care about him and this sympathy tour?”
Another commented, “Sounds like he said everything but an apology.”
However, some people used the opportunity to call for a better understanding of the situation while condemning ableism.
An X user noted, “What he said was disgusting and is in no way acceptable, but can people also stop using this as an excuse to be blatantly ableist? Two wrongs don’t make a right. You can be upset/offended by his words without also resorting to slurs and ableism.”

The controversy then shifted from the outburst itself to the management of the event, as Lindo slammed BAFTA for failing to address it with him after the event.
The “Da 5 Bloods” star said he and Jordan “did what we had to do” while presenting, but he wished “someone from BAFTA spoke to us afterward.”
Earlier on Monday, BAFTA issued an “unreserved apology” for the “very offensive language that carries incomparable trauma and pain for so many,” before going on to explain that the tics are “in no way a reflection of an individual’s beliefs and are not intentional.”

Meanwhile, black actor Thierry Mabonga defended Davidson, saying that actors should have been warned about his condition.
The D.R. Congo-born actor, who starred as Davidson’s lawyer in the film, took to TikTok to comment on a scene where he had to step in for him after getting himself into trouble.
“I’m representing him, but at the same time, he’s hurling abuse at me, and it’s very offensive words,” Mabonga said. “Now, this is the condition, the disease of Tourette syndrome. John cannot control what he says. In fact, that’s the whole point of why we’re making this film.”
“We’ve made this film, ‘I Swear,’ to educate people about Tourette’s syndrome,” he noted, before going on to slam critics who think Davidson shouldn’t have been at the award ceremony.

“How can you say that he can’t be there at the awards? This is a film about his life. This is a film about him. Absolutely, he has to be there. And absolutely it’s great that he was there,” the “I Swear” actor said.
“And I don’t know if some of the actors there were told in advance about someone with Tourette’s being there. Hopefully they would have been told [and] therefore prepared for that kind of stuff that happened,” he continued.
There’s a new TV show topping Prime Video’s viewership charts this week: the mystery thriller series 56 Days, starring Dove Cameron and Avan Jogia. Adapted from Catherine Ryan Howard‘s novel, the show was developed by Karyn Usher (Prison Break) and Lisa Zwerling (ER) and executive produced by James Wan. It follows an intense story involving a highly charged whirlwind romance and a gruesome murder. But in case that’s not quite what you’re in the mood for right now, there are still a lot of other options to explore on the streaming service. Here’s a look at three great shows we think you should binge on Prime Video this week, ranging from witty comedies to fascinating dramas.
For more recommendations, check out our list of the best shows and movies on Prime Video.
Created, written, and directed by Graham Linehan, The IT Crowd is a British sitcom that revolves around the IT department of a fictional London company. The story kicks off when Jen Barber (Katherine Parkinson) is appointed as the new head of IT, even though she has no experience with the field, and the show largely follows her various attempts to manage her new socially inept subordinates, Maurice Moss (Richard Ayoade) and Roy Trenneman (Chris O’Dowd). Besides the three leads, the series also stars Chris Morris, Matt Berry, Noel Fielding, and more in supporting roles.
Originally broadcast on Channel 4 beginning in 2006, The IT Crowd was a critically acclaimed series in the UK but suffered from poor ratings initially. Viewership picked up by the end of the show, however, and the series is now regarded as a cult classic, with its streaming release bringing it new fans from around the world. A witty workplace sitcom with intelligent humor and delightfully weird characters, The IT Crowd also earned a number of accolades during its original run, including three BAFTAs out of seven nominations and an International Emmy.
Created, written, and directed by Ben Chanan, The Capture is a British mystery thriller show that explores cases involving far-reaching conspiracies and cutting-edge technology. Holliday Grainger stars as Rachel Carey, who starts the show as a newly-appointed Detective Inspector tasked with investigating the case of a British soldier charged with the murder of his lawyer. The show also stars Ginny Holder, Ben Miles, Lia Williams, and Ron Perlman in other main cast roles.
The Capture was quite well-received by critics when it first premiered on BBC One in 2019, earning praise for its thrilling narrative and timely story. With its impeccable performances and tense storytelling, the show is easily one of the best surveillance thrillers on television, and it provides some keen insights into how modern technologies like deepfakes and AI video manipulation can have a disastrous effect on society. A second, even better-reviewed season followed in 2022, and the show is all set to premiere its third season in 2026, making this the perfect time to binge the series so far.
Created by Brian Watkins, Outer Range is a sci-fi neo-Western series starring Josh Brolin as Royal Abbott, the patriarch of a Wyoming rancher family. The show explores the strange events that ensue when Royal discovers a mysterious void on his land, following the family’s struggles to defend their property from rivals while dealing with the disappearance of their daughter-in-law, the puzzle of the void, and the arrival of an enigmatic stranger. Besides Brolin, the series’ ensemble cast also features Imogen Poots, Lili Taylor, Tom Pelphrey, Tamara Podemski, Lewis Pullman, and more.
Outer Range was widely acclaimed by critics and viewers alike when it first premiered on Prime Video in 2022, and it continued to enjoy great reviews throughout its two-season run. A gripping sci-fi drama that combines a Yellowstone-style Western narrative with a fascinating sci-fi mystery, the series is easily one of the streamer’s best shows in recent years, anchored by the intense performances of its star-studded cast, particularly Brolin, Poots, and Pelphrey. However, Outer Range was prematurely canceled after its second season, cutting the story short on a frustrating cliffhanger, though it’s still an enjoyable show despite its short life.
General Hospital 2-week spoilers for February 23-March 06, 2026 suggest Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is going to be furious about something and Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) is increasingly desperate.
On Monday, February 23rd, we’ve got Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Viron Weaver) telling his mom, Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), he does not like staying at Drew Cain Quartermaine’s house. Boy, those kids have gotten used to the Quartermaine mansion. And I think they don’t like knowing that catatonic Drew is in the house. Can’t blame them.
Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) tells Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) he is not going to fight Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) to win Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms). Spinelli tells Lulu also that he assumes Maxie is going to pick Nathan over him.
But he cannot in good conscience, you know, put Maxie into this position. So, at the cemetery standing near his grave, Nathan is talking to Maxie about how weird this all is. She is feeling in over her head and overwhelmed. Waking from a coma to an undead husband is quite the shocker.
Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) tells Alexis he’s got news about Drew’s case. I think Ric is going to tell her that Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) planted Drew’s key on Michael Corinthos’ (Rory Gibson) keyring. Alexis is skeptical, and she may not believe Chase would plant evidence—and he didn’t. As we all know, he only called attention to it, but I don’t think the PCPD is going to believe him.
Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) and Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) talk about Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner). Of course, Gio is quite afraid that Emma is not going to come back from her San Francisco trip, where she went to tell her parents that Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) has gone off the deep end and is stuck in a psychiatric institute in France.
Josslyn tells somebody that she’ll drop it, and it might be in this conversation with Gio or talking with somebody else. Michael is enraged and he punches Chase in the face because Michael is quite certain that Chase planted that key on his ring. Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) makes a promise, maybe to the DA, that if Chase did this, he’ll fire him. We’ll see who he’s promising.
DA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) tells Dante if they mess up with this again, heads are going to roll. Chase may have to go; he may have to be fired. Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Chase have a tense private talk on Monday, likely after the brawl with Michael, and Brook Lynn has had enough of the whole Willow thing.
On Tuesday, February 24th, we’ve got Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) grilling Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). The WSB director circles around to “Stone Cold.” I’m betting that Cullum wants to make sure Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) cut Jason out of her life like she said she did.
She and Jason have only been sneaking around on the sly seeing each other. Something has Lulu hesitant, and it might be Nathan. He may still want to date her after this conversation with Maxie. Plus, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) gets some critical info. This may be about Britt’s medications and where they’re stashed, or more on Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) and Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota).
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) confides in his brother, Ric, and it might be about the angle he’s working with Sidwell or Justine, or his concern over what’s going on with Michael. Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) issues someone a warning; it could be Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) about something Jenz Sidwell’s doing, or it could be to Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) about Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) and the baby.
Wednesday, February 25th is the last day of sweeps, by the way. So, look for a hopefully big finish. Dante needs to talk to Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and he may have questions about Willow since Justine remains certain that she’s guilty. Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) is encouraged by Cody Bell (Josh Kelly), and I think he’s going to tell Molly to go ahead and publish her romance novel. Looks like Cody has read it all and he’s going to be a big fan.
Britt and Jason ponder their options. This may be about getting their hands on her medications to reverse engineer them, which has been tougher now that they’re being doled out one at a time. Chase faces a hard decision. He may quit before the PCPD fire him, or this could be something about Brook Lynn and her being sick and tired of all the Willow nonsense. Gio gets the best news on Wednesday. I bet that it is Emma coming back to Port Charles.
Thursday, February 26th, Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) wants to chat with Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). I’m sure it’s about him dating her mom, Portia. I wonder if Trina will be hostile or if she will be okay. Now, everybody’s tried to make it clear that he wasn’t getting with her mom while she was with her dad, but we’ll see. Trina can be stubborn like that.
Laura holds a press conference, and I believe it’s to endorse Alexis to step in to take Drew’s place for the rest of his term, although it will require a special election. Jason and Sonny debrief each other, and I’m sure it’s about so many things—Sidwell, Jack Brennan, Britt, and Michael—there’s a lot on the list.
Jenz Sidwell gets tough. He’s playing hardball with somebody and it may be Britt or Marco. It could be about Deception because Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) was pushing his buttons on that.
Or his double trouble love life with Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring). Alexis is stunned by something. Willow may also announce to the press she’s running to replace Drew with his blessing. Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) may set up a big media splash because she’s all about getting Willow into Congress on General Hospital.
Now, Friday, February 27th, Lucy is in trouble. She’s going to have to explain herself, and it may be to Sidwell. She is caught doing something that she shouldn’t be doing. Either sabotaging Ava is likely, or trying to get some dirt on Sidwell because, remember, she was telling Sonny that she wants to dig into everything he’s doing at Deception. Lucy may be poking around at Wyndemere.
Lucas demands answers, and I bet it’s from Marco, maybe on the topic of criminality and his father and Britt. Plus, Willow makes a vow to herself. Maybe it’s about taking Michael down to get Drew’s congressional seat to get all the revenge she wants.
Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) wants Britt to help her by the end of the week. I bet it’s on matchmaking Maxie and Nathan, but I don’t think that Britt is going to play those reindeer games with her mom. Plus, Laura has to find some chill. I think she’s a little annoyed about the way the press conference turns out.


The week of March 2nd through the 6th, we’ve got Maxie struggling to figure out what is next. Nathan being back is a lot to process. So are Spinelli’s proactively hurt feelings and defeatist attitude, as he thinks it’s already done. I think that’s going to bother Maxie. I think she may yank a knot in him.
Lulu and Nathan can’t shake their feelings for each other. Maxie and Nathan may agree the past is past, but I don’t think it’s going to be that easy for Lulu. Plus, there’s a chance Nathan and Maxie’s feelings may evolve. Nathan still has a twist ahead when we find out more about his missing seven years.
Willow doubles down on her plan to get everything she wants—a double dose of revenge against her ex-husband, Michael, and her current husband, Drew. Alexis prepares for battle. She wants to beat Willow. She’s furious that that would-be husband killer is trying to take Drew’s seat in Congress, and Michael is desperate to prove his innocence.
The walls are closing in on Chase. Meanwhile, Drew is desperate to communicate and be saved. If somebody could help him, he’d be back on his feet as soon as that medication wore off, probably in a day or two. Portia and Isaiah move forward as do Curtis and Jordan, but Jordan may be anxious that baby bonding could reunite Curtis and Portia. Lucas may find himself in danger and in over his head out at Spoon Island.
Obrecht is determined to get Nathan and Maxie back together. Spinelli braces for the worst despite reassurances. Emma is coming home soon. There is more cousin love and antics from Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) and Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn), and Cody and Molly enjoy their reunion.
