General Hospital early weekly spoilers for April 20th through the 24th shock as Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) stuns Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and danger is lurking.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then we talk about what is happening next week.

General Hospital Spoilers Wednesday, April 15th: Curtis Supports Jordan

On Wednesday, April 15th, we have Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) there supporting Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper). She is reeling with guilt over her distracted driving. Now, both of them are bothered that the other driver didn’t stop. But that doesn’t mean the other driver actually knew that they crashed. They were really, really to blame. They should be feeling bad about being road hazards, acting like teenagers.

Plus, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) tells Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) they might have a suspect. But is it in Jordan’s accident? Is it in Ross Cullum’s (Andrew Hawkes) shooting or is it in Marco Rios‘ (Adrian Anchondo) stabbing? Because there is a lot of cases on his plate right now. And Dante has a tip that he gives to Laura Spencer (Genie Francis). And I wonder if this is to do with the suspect that he’s telling Justine about.

GH Spoilers: Sidwell Threatens & Tracy Horrified

Plus, Ava Jerome (Maura West) tells Laura that Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is going to get what he wants. So, I’m very curious what exactly the topic of the conversation is. And Sidwell is impressed by Ava, but not so much by one of his pet politicians because he is making threats.

On Wednesday, Sidwell tells Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) that if he cannot do that, he is of very little use to him. And when people are not of use to Sidwell, he puts a bullet in them like he did to Hank Dalton (Daniel Goddard).

So, Sidwell may be pushing Ezra to also use some of his city council influence to push the Marco investigation towards Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Meanwhile, Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) is in crisis mode.

So, it looks like Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) is going to tell Granny Tracy that she may have caused Jordan’s accident. Tracy tells Brook Lynn she can never ever breathe a word of this to anybody.

We also have Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) poking around and I think this ties back to the who shot Cullum case. And who Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is covering for. And Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) asks somebody up at the yoga studio why they are so curious about Cesar Faison (Anders Hove).

So, this may be Joss asking more questions like when she was quizzing Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner) about Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Faison. And this could put Joss right onto Cullum’s radar if Cassius reports that Joss is asking questions because, you know, she doesn’t know it, but she’s talking to not Nathan West.

General Hospital Spoilers Thursday, April 16th: Lucas Stands Firm

On Thursday, April 16th, we have got Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) standing firm on something and it may be about him staying at Wyndemere. Now, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Joss might be trying to get Lucas to move out, but he is sticking around to try to help Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) and get a lead on her meds while he’s telling people other things to cover.

This week, Joss is over at Carly’s house. She’s with her mom and with Valentin, and their chat seems to alarm Carly. And this may be about Cullum’s shooting and about Jason. We could see Joss bringing Valentin into the loop and telling him that she and Britt think Jason is protecting somebody because Joss might want Valentin’s opinion on this since it is WSB related. Somebody raises Joss’s suspicions on Thursday. So, could be Lucas or it could be from her chat with Valentin and her mom.

GH Spoilers:

Also, Sidwell is thinking really hard after talking to somebody. We know he’s talking to Ava. We know he is talking to Ezra. So, could be them, could be Lucas, maybe Britt, although I think she’s going to avoid him like the plague.

And speaking of her, she hits a setback. So, it may be on the Cold Fusion Project or it may be her Huntington’s symptoms. Plus, Carly is really rattled by something and it may be the visit from Josslyn.

Friday, April 17th: Ethan Lovett Returns on General Hospital!

On Friday, April 17th, there is a confrontation between Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) and Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell). And I could see Willow chewing her a new one about Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) exposing their kids to a former prostitute.

And of course, the Wylie Corinthos (Viron Weaver) hooker incident that nearly cost Brook Lynn and Chase Harrison (Josh Swickard) the chance to foster Phoebe. I don’t think that Michael’s going to like this. And I kind of hope Jacinda gives it all back to her. Plus, Ethan Lovett (Nathan Parsons) is back in Port Charles. Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins) is going to be stunned to see her other big brother.

And with Nathan Parsons back to General Hospital, watch for Ethan to partner with Sonny to take Sidwell down. Ethan is gonna want Sidwell to pay after he tried to kill both Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) and Sasha Gilmore. And I am super excited to see Ethan back. I love Nathan Parsons.

GH Spoilers: Valentin Shocks Nina

Plus, somebody takes Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi) by surprise. And it may be her former crush, Ethan, whom she really betrayed back in the day when she falsely accused him of abuse. And somebody has an interesting offer for Nina. And it looks like it is Valentin because he shows up to see Nina out of the blue.

I wonder if he’s got some advice and some information on how to handle Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). And Nina may tell him she already threatened Jack with tattling to Carly because. But, of course, Nina has no idea that Carly is covering for and conspiring with Valentin.

Laura considers an alliance with somebody. Could be Ethan, could be her and Ezra working together against Sidwell because now that he’s threatened Ezra, he might be scared and ready to try and get rid of the threat.

Week of April 20th-24th on GH: May Sweeps Kicks Off

The week of April 20th through the 24th, by the way, is when May sweeps kicks off. It runs April 23rd to May 20th. So, we’re going to find out more on Jordan’s car crash. Of course, Brook Lynn was blinded by a car driving into her lane, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it was Jordan’s car.

It could have been Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) and Charlotte Cassadine‘s (Scarlett Fernandez) car since they crashed, or it could have been Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) because he was in a big rush. And there might have been somebody else out on that road as well. So, I’m wondering if Tracy is going to get the scrape on Brook Lynn’s car secretly repaired.

We’ll see more of Dante working his three big cases, the Cullum shooting, the Marco stabbing, and Jordan’s crash. And I wonder if he’s going to get credible leads on any of them because his son Rocco Falconeri did the shooting. Cullum did the stabbing and the car crash remains a mystery despite Brook Lynn’s guilty conscience. So, don’t decide yet that she did this deed. That’s way too obvious.

General Hospital Spoilers: Molly & Cody Get Closer

Molly Lansing (Kristen Vaganos) gets in deeper with Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) as she recovers and Alexis Davis‘ (Nancy Lee Grahn) anxiety about Danny accelerates. Kristina and Ethan are going to reconnect and we’ll need to wait to see if there are sparks. Britt is hurrying to complete the Cold Fusion project to save herself.

But honestly, they’re probably planning to kill her anyway because why not snip that loose end? Fortunately for her, Cassius is watching out for her. However, if Lulu reports back to not Nathan, that Britt warned her away from him, I think Cassius may lose his temper with Britt. Plus, Lucas has not given up on helping her and is going to be poking around.

But you know, Pascal (Mark Forget)  is going to be watching. Valentin and Carly continue to struggle with their feelings for each other. And more people know about Valentin now because Curtis and Nina are both aware he’s in town. Curtis isn’t going to talk because he helped save Jordan. And I bet Nina won’t either.

But with Willow blackmailing her, anything is possible. Rocco is still struggling with the aftermath of shooting Cullum. And Britt and Joss may figure out soon that he is the shooter, but that will leave their hands tied because they’ll understand totally why Jason is protecting him.

Nina may become embroiled in the Carly, Joss, and Valentin’s scheme, and Jacinda is going to tell Michael about her run-in with Willow. Sidwell keeps scheming for revenge. Things may get violent soon, and Ethan gets busy on the plan he came to town to enact.

After watching Nicole Kidman’s Before I Go To Sleep on Netflix a couple weeks ago, I needed something that didn’t completely waste her talent. My search led me to 1995’s To Die For, which has such a stacked cast you’d think I was exaggerating if you didn’t check IMDb or Wikipedia yourself. Going as pitch black as a Gus Van Sant comedy can get, To Die For showcases Joaquin Phoenix, Casey Affleck, Kurtwood Smith, Wayne Knight, Matt Dillon, and even David Cronenberg in a brief appearance.

It’s a fourth-wall-breaking film that works as a thriller, comedy, drama, and mockumentary all at once, rolled into a murder mystery centered on Nicole Kidman’s Suzanne Stone, a woman so obsessed with fame and fortune that she throws her entire life away when nobody around her sticks to the script.

Multiple Timelines Effortlessly Intersect

There are two narratives in To Die For that strip away any real sense of mystery from the premise. Through television interviews, we’re introduced to Suzanne Stone, who got off scot-free after her husband, Larry Maretto (Matt Dillon), was murdered. We know she’s involved, maybe even directly responsible, right off the rip, but that’s not what the film is interested in. Instead, we get a full character breakdown of Suzanne and her sociopathic commitment to becoming a TV star. We know Larry is dead, and we know she had something to do with it. The story then rewinds to show us how everything led up to those interviews, introducing everyone she crossed paths with along the way.

Desperate to become a world-famous TV correspondent, Suzanne grows resentful of her husband Larry, despite the fact that he gives up his band and focuses on work so he can support her dreams. The guy does a complete 180, even though he comes from a mob-connected family running multiple successful businesses. In other words, Larry was never a screwup, but he still buckles down when he falls in love with Suzanne because he wants the best for her. That contrast exists purely to show just how unhinged Suzanne is when it comes to chasing clout.

While Larry works his ass off, occasionally hinting that he’d like to start a family, Suzanne takes a job at WWEN, a local cable network, under the supervision of Ed Grant (Wayne Knight), who we learn through interviews is absolutely terrified of her. It’s one thing to be ambitious, but Suzanne is aggressively so, making most people rightfully suspicious of what she’s capable of, including Larry’s sister Janice (Illeana Douglas).

While working her way toward a weather girl position, Suzanne recruits naive high school students for a “Teens Speak Out” documentary she hopes will launch her career. She pulls in a troublemaker named Jimmy (Joaquin Phoenix), who immediately falls under her spell, along with Lydia (Alison Folland), who admires her, and Russell (Casey Affleck), who was basically forced to participate. With three teenagers eating out of the palm of her hand, Suzanne starts plotting how to get rid of Larry, who she believes is holding her back because he wants a traditional life she finds completely suffocating.

A Masterclass In Manipulation

If I had to compare Nicole Kidman’s Suzanne to anybody, it would be Reese Witherspoon’s Tracy Flick from Election. She’s beautiful, driven, and easily the most dangerous person you could cross paths with if you happen to be in her way of her goals. Suzanne’s ruthlessness is initially softened by how charming and driven she is when she makes her first impressions. When you apply that level of manipulation to a group of teenagers, it’s only a matter of time before they start doing exactly what you want. This dynamic comes to a head when Suzanne fully sinks her hooks into Jimmy.

But nobody here is innocent. Suzanne may be the mastermind who sets everything in motion, but everyone else is self-aware enough to know better. That’s where half the fun comes from. Jimmy might be infatuated, but he still makes his own choices. Suzanne sizes him up, offers him a version of the life he thinks he wants, and he goes along with it despite the consequences because he’s short-sighted and naive. It’s fascinating to watch because at any point, anyone in Suzanne’s orbit could have just said “nah” and walked away. But they don’t.

One of the more uniquely structured black comedies I’ve seen in a while, To Die For is equal parts morbid and hilarious. Every character is painfully short-sighted, and they all become worse versions of themselves the moment they fall for Suzanne’s tricks. And while you should hate Suzanne for being an objectively terrible person, you still end up rooting for her because she’s living life on her own terms, just in the most antisocial way possible.

To Die For is currently streaming on Netflix.

Over the past two years, Alien fans haven’t wanted for Xenomorph action. 2024 saw the Ridley Scott-created sci-fi horror franchise return to the big screen for the first time in seven years with Alien: Romulus, a new, standalone film helmed by The Evil Dead remake helmer Fede Álvarez. Just one year later, FX followed up on the small screen with Noah Hawley‘s excellent Alien: Earth, which brings the universe’s greatest threat directly to the blue planet. Their respective successes also earned both of them follow-ups, but while the latter has been gathering steam, even adding Peter Dinklage as a new star for Season 2, it hasn’t been as smooth sailing for the former.

A Romulus sequel was in the works right away in late 2024 after the Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson-led affair raked in $350 million globally at the box office and earned the best reviews for the franchise in years. Álvarez and co-writer Rodo Sayagues quickly penned a script that would take the series to new places, with survivors Rain (Spaeny) and Andy (Jonsson) both likely returning. However, everything ground to a halt after the director, despite initially hoping to return and begin filming last year, departed the project back in September and vowed to help find his replacement at the helm. He’s still on board as a producer, but it was undoubtedly a big momentum killer after he seemed poised to be the next figurehead breathing new life into Alien. Since then, we still haven’t learned much about the follow-up or who will be taking the reins, and, from the sound of it, most of the cast and crew haven’t either.

In an interview with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff for his upcoming new film Wasteman with Tom Blyth, Jonsson could only offer more of the same after similarly not having much to say at the Toronto International Film Festival. “Hey, Perri, you know I absolutely adore you,” he said. “I think you’re brilliant, but whatever it is and whenever it happens, I can’t quite say.” When asked about the franchise as a whole, though, he did take an opportunity to celebrate what has been accomplished with both Romulus and Earth in the years since Scott first had viewers screaming with his 1979 classic. Romulus was a breath of fresh air for audiences, turning the attention towards a younger, less experienced group of space colonizers coming face to face with the Xenomorphs for the first time. Whatever happens with its sequel and with Andy, Jonsson is excited about the world of possibilities that has since opened up in the aftermath of that return to form.

“Well, because it’s a world with brilliant characters. It’s a world that is thrilling on camera, thrilling on screen, and in my opinion, and I say this having done Romulus, which is a project that I’m really proud of, Cailee [Spaeny]’s really proud of, and everyone who worked on it is really proud of, is that those projects that help reinvent what cinema is and what it can be are the ones I always want to be involved in, and I think that this is one. With us being a predominantly younger cast, it’s completely changed what the Alien universe was, and opened up the possibility for what it could be. I think that that’s quite exciting. I think that that’s what Earth did, as well, and ours.”

What Is Jonsson’s New Film ‘Wasteman’ About?

Beyond Romulus, Jonsson’s star has been rising quickly in Hollywood, as he also recently co-starred in Francis Lawrence‘s acclaimed adaptation of Stephen King‘s The Long Walk. Wasteman will be another dramatic affair for the star as he plays Taylor, a man nearing the end of his prison sentence. Having already served 13 years, his hard work as a cook is about to pay off as he’s nearing release on good behavior. However, his chance at freedom and the opportunity to see the son he’s never met are put in jeopardy by his new cellmate, Dee (Blyth), who isn’t just a drug dealer but is hell-bent on controlling the entire illicit drug trade within the facility. Directed by Cal McMau from a screenplay by Hunter Andrews and Eoin Doran, it’ll follow Taylor’s desperate struggle as a man with everything left to lose tied to another who is all too ready to risk what little he has left.

Wasteman premiered at TIFF last year to widespread acclaim and has only continued to wow critics with its release in the U.K. earlier this year through Lionsgate. It currently holds a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with praise for both the intensity of the film and the chemistry between the two leads. Corin Silva, Alex Hassell, Neil Linpow, Layton Blake, Paul Hilton, and more round out the cast.

Stay tuned here at Collider for more updates on the next Alien movie. In the meantime, Wasteman will hit theaters in the U.S. this Friday, April 17.

Chris D’Elia is once again at the center of controversy, following comments that many say cross a serious line.

The comedian is facing widespread backlash after sharing what appears to be a text exchange in which he mocked the #MeToo movement. Ironically, the move has only served to reignite criticism tied to past allegations against him.

The latest uproar also comes just months after he publicly called out the comedy industry for distancing itself from him in the wake of the allegations.

Chris D’Elia Mocks #MeToo Slogan

Chris D’Elia is facing a fresh wave of criticism after comments many are calling tone-deaf and provocative. The comedian drew criticism online after appearing to mock the central slogan of the #MeToo movement in a recent social media post.

The controversial performer took to his Instagram Story to share a screenshot of a private conversation reacting to Ruby Rose‘s claims that singer Katy Perry sexually assaulted her.

“They’re eating each other now,” the other person wrote alongside the link.

D’Elia responded by taking a sarcastic jab at one of the movement’s widely recognized phrases. “Believe all women,” he wrote. “Believe both of them. They’re saying different things but believe all women.”

D’Elia’s alleged text has sparked outrage online, with some critics pointing to his past accusations of sexual misconduct as they reacted to the post.

“What possessed him to post this? What a loser,” a Reddit user wrote.

Another commenter slammed his tone, saying, “So he’s one of those guys that leaned hard into being an -sshole misogynist after getting called out.”

Others were even more scathing, calling out what they saw as a pattern of behavior. “His smugness here is almost as disgusting as everything he’s been accused of,” one person wrote, while also questioning how he continues to maintain a public platform.

Chris D’Elia Faced Serious Allegations Of Sexual Misconduct

Back in 2023, multiple women came forward with sexual assault accusations against D’Elia.

In interviews with Rolling Stone, at least ten women accused him of exhibiting predatory behavior, with four alleging they were teenagers at the time of their interactions with him.

Some of the accusers claimed D’Elia solicited explicit content, made sexual demands in exchange for show tickets, and engaged in manipulative behavior.

The actor broadly denied the allegations. However, according to the report, he did not directly respond to several detailed requests for comment on specific claims, instead questioning the credibility of some of the women who came forward.

D’Elia Claimed His Escapades Were Consensual

After the accusations against him, D’Elia pushed back. He insisted that his past relationships were both legal and consensual. The comedian first faced widespread scrutiny in 2020 when several women shared screenshots in which he made sexual advances.

The fallout was swift.

His talent agency dropped him, collaborators distanced themselves, and Comedy Central removed his special “White Male. Black Comic” from streaming platforms. He was also recast in a film project at the time.

In 2021, D’Elia addressed the controversy in a video statement, acknowledging personal failings but maintaining that his encounters were consensual.

“It became a lifestyle that I didn’t know how to stop,” he said, per the L.A. Times. “That’s not the guy I want to be… It makes me feel shameful, and it makes me feel bad.”

Earlier this year, D’Elia hit out at fellow comedians, accusing them of abandoning him during the height of allegations against him.

Speaking on the “Trying Not to Die” podcast with Jack Osbourne and Ryan Drexler, “The Good Doctor” star said he was stunned by how quickly people he’d known for years distanced themselves in 2020.

“It blew my mind,” D’Elia said, per Fox News, adding that he once believed the comedy world was built on a strong sense of community. “Most comedians are just pretty spineless.”

He went on to say the experience reinforced his belief that people are eager to tear others down.

“I was surprised by a few people,” he continued. “You really realize that people can’t wait to hate you. It blew my mind, and it still kind of does.”

Bold and the Beautiful early weekly spoilers for April 20th through the 24th reveal RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) being totally unhinged and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) warning his son.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week, then we dive into next week.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Wednesday, April 15th: Will Apologizes

So, on Wednesday, April 15th, we’ve got Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) doing the right thing. He talks to Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). And Will says he knows that there is a lot of drama surrounding him and Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) and RJ.

And Will apologizes to the leadership team of the company he’s working at. I give him full credit for this. Steffy says that they appreciate the apology. And then Brooke asks, “What if it’s too late for the two of you?” Meaning Will and Electra. Brooke is obviously pushing for RJ to win this. And Will says there is no way this is the end for him and Electra.

B&B Spoilers: Brooke Sticks by RJ

Now, I feel like RJ is not going to be as mature about this because he gets a warning from his dad, Ridge, that he doesn’t need to bring his personal stuff in and let it interfere with the workday. So, it looks like during Ridge and RJ’s talk, Steffy may be there as well. I’m sure if Brooke is, she will defend anything that RJ does. This is how she operates. So, understandably, that’s her kid.

And in separate scenes, Will and Ivy both tell Electra what they think. I’m guessing Will tells Electra that Dylan is indeed taking her first paycheck, packing up, and moving out. So, Will has met the ultimatum that Electra hands him, but Ivy is not going to tolerate this. She despises Will.

And again, I think this is back to him being a Spencer and her having frustrating past where she didn’t win either Wyatt or Liam in the end. So Ivy tells Electra, “I want you to say, I’m with RJ now.” And then she’s, you know, turning on her bully personality and says, “I repeat, I am with RJ,” trying to force her to say this. And poor Electra, I say poor Electra, she’s pushy when it comes to other people, but I do feel bad for her in this instance.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Ivy Bullys Electra

Electra is looking super sad and really stressed because her aunt Ivy is absolutely bullying at her and turning her horrible behavior onto her niece who she claims to love. And so Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) may overhear this or see Electra upset and that could be what prompts her to finally tell the terrible truth about what Ivy has done.

Meanwhile, one of the models says to RJ that they know he’s off the market because he only wants Electra. And then RJ says what he wants is to save Electra from any more heartbreak at the hands of Will Spencer.

B&B Spoilers Thursday, April 16th: Daphne Asks Carter For Advice

Thursday, April 16th, we’ve got Daphne asking for Carter Walton‘s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) advice. She’s frustrated that Ivy is lying and scheming and broke up Will and Electra and Ivy hurt her niece with her manipulations. Now, Carter told Daphne before to stay out of it before.

But because it’s still weighing on her, Carter may tell her, you know, do what you think is right. Follow your conscience. RJ and Ivy form an alliance. I mean, they’ve already been cooking up schemes together on Bold and the Beautiful.

They both want Electra to forget about Will and start something with RJ, so we could have Ivy continuing to pressure Electra and RJ also doing a hard sell on her choosing him.

Friday, April 17th: Ivy Exposed on Bold and the Beautiful

Friday, April 17th, we are gonna find out finally why RJ dislikes Will so much and the root of his bad attitude. Now, I’m betting that RJ’s dislike has more to do with Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) and his history with Ridge. But when RJ first came to town, remember, he and Will made a gentleman’s agreement to not carry over the rivalry from their dads.

And frankly, RJ isn’t even making an effort. So, he’s upset about Bill calling him, you know, dirty dollar bill. And then there was the Eric Forrester (John McCook) design stuff. So, honestly, I feel like RJ’s really a chip off the old Ridge block because he’s pushy, he’s aggressive, and thinks he’s right about everything.

Bold Spoilers: Daphne Tells Electra the Truth

Plus, Daphne finally tells Electra that she needs to know what really happened to her relationship with Will. That happens on Friday. Ivy is finally exposed. Of course, Electra is going to be devastated when Daphne explains that Ivy swiped the letter that she left for Will.

And on top of that, replaced it with the broken necklace, which was an accident, not some sort of vandalism breakup sign. And she did it to mislead Electra into thinking that Will had dumped her.

With tears in her eyes, Electra is going to demand Ivy tell her where is her letter. Now, if Electra and Will had just had some plain language communication, this could have all been sorted out already.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Electra & Will Rage at Ivy

Plus, by Friday, Electra and Will confront Ivy together, and she looks quite taken aback. Chances are that she’s going to defend her actions, saying she was looking out for Electra, doing what’s best, because Will’s not good enough for her. I expect Ivy to throw blame at Dylan and Will, the not proper stuff, you know. And I do wonder if Dylan’s gonna tell Will that Ivy bullied her and then encouraged her to use their split to take advantage and snatch Will for herself.

So, Electra and Will are going to be fuming at Ivy. And I really want Will to tell Electra he saw her kissing RJ because she was just doing it again this week. And this is all being set up to facilitate Ivy’s exit because Ashleigh Brewer is out on maternity leave. So we’re going to say goodbye very soon to Electra’s meddlesome aunt.

Week of April 20th-24th: May Sweeps Begins on B&B

Then the week of April 20th through the 24th. We have the beginning of May sweeps. It starts on Thursday, April 23rd and carries all the way through May 20th. Ridge and Steffy are fretting over Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) as she and Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) get closer and make plans for their future. Now, what I’m worried about is Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) in light of May sweeps coming and I don’t put anything past her.

The launch of Logan is going to also come in May sweeps, which again starts on Thursday. So, we should see Eric back on screen for that as well. I expect Brooke to continue harassing Katie Logan (Heather Tom) over the designs that Logan paid for. And I know fans are heavily divided on this. But Katie was stating legal truths to Brooke. So, I don’t think in any court of law that they would prevail. Possibly in the court of public opinion, though.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Dylan Moves On

We’re going to see Dylan moving on with her life. I wonder if she might wind up being Deke Sharpe’s (Harrison Cone) roommate. That would be kind of cute, at least in the short term, because you can’t find an apartment in LA in a day. But they may gloss over that. And speaking of Deacon, Christian Weissmann is back as his ex Remy Pryce.

We’ve seen him already this week and he is on contract status now at Bold and he has a secret connection to somebody who is already on the screen and given some hints that the actor dropped in an interview basically that the person he’s connected to is also kind of diabolical. My guess is that he is either Sheila’s grandson or maybe a secret son of Bill. He hasn’t had a fully grown adult child show up in a little while. He’s overdue, right?

RJ’s about to find out he’s got no chance with Electra. Sheila is still heartbroken. She’s down but not out. Will and Electra’s heads are spinning from the reveal of Ivy’s scheme, and they should be on the path to reconciliation. And we’re going to see if the reveal of what Ivy did improves or worsens RJ’s attitude towards Will.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their return to Australia; however, their children were noticeably absent, with a source citing “security” and the duchess putting her foot down on the matter.

The trip marks the Sussexes’ first visit since 2018 and follows their decision to step back as working royals in 2020.

During the visit, Prince Harry will participate in mental health-focused engagements, while Meghan is set to host a luxury retreat for women.

Why Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Made An Australia Trip Without Their Kids

According to insiders, Harry had hoped to bring Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet along with him and Meghan to Australia, inspired by the way his mother, Princess Diana, once included her young sons on royal tours.

However, the duchess is said to have taken a different stance. Sources claim she “wasn’t comfortable” with the idea, particularly due to concerns around security and maintaining a stable environment for the children.

“Security is always her number one concern,” one insider shared with journalist Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop, noting that “She wants them in a controlled environment, and that’s California.”

They further noted that while Meghan hates being away from her kids, it was necessary for them to stay behind in Montecito while she and Harry focus on work.

“She hates being away from them,” the source said. “Even short separations are hard for her, but she’s a working mother and has to pay the bills.”

The Duke ‘Pushed’ For The Kids To Join Them On Tour, But Meghan Said ‘No’

While the couple is said to discuss most decisions together, insiders suggest Meghan tends to take the lead when it comes to matters involving their children.

“Harry pushed for it,” the source continued. “But Meghan said no — and that was the end of it. They discuss everything, but on the kids, Meghan leads.”

They further noted that Harry’s idea of a family-focused trip was ultimately set aside in favor of what Meghan felt was best for them.

“He wanted a family moment,” the insider stated. “She wanted control — and she won.”

Prince Harry Champions Mental Health And Modern Fatherhood During Australia Visit

So far, the Aussie trip has seen Harry focus on causes close to his heart. During engagements in Australia, the Duke combined his advocacy for mental health with his passion for sport.

In Melbourne, he spoke at the launch of a Movember report on the mental health of fathers, reflecting on his own experience as a parent.

He emphasized the evolving nature of parenting, suggesting that each generation should strive to improve on the last.

“Even if you had the best upbringing in the world, the best parenting in the world, there’s still room for improvement,” he said.

While referencing his relationship with King Charles III, Harry shared his belief that children should grow to become “upgrades,” shaped by a rapidly changing world. He also encouraged fathers to speak openly about their struggles, challenging the long-held idea that vulnerability is a sign of weakness. 

He explained: “For so many years, it has been seen as a weakness to stick your hands up. I find it’s the opposite. The more grief I get for talking about it, the more I want to stand up and talk about it. I know if I go quiet about it – what does that say to everyone else?”

Prince Harry And Meghan Blend Charity And Business On Low-Key Australia Return

Alongside his advocacy work, Harry took part in a training session with the Western Bulldogs and visited the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

There, he honored fallen service members, participating in a traditional smoking ceremony and paying tribute to troops, including those who died in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, Meghan focused on her own professional interests during the trip, including filming a guest appearance on “MasterChef” Australia and reportedly exploring opportunities to expand her lifestyle brand in the region.

This time, however, the tone is noticeably different. Now operating as private citizens after stepping back from royal duties in 2020, their visit combines charitable engagements with personal and commercial ventures.

Meghan Markle Turns Royal Style Into Shoppable Looks With New Partnership

Meanwhile, Meghan is reportedly turning her fashion choices into a new business opportunity, partnering with an AI-driven styling platform called OneOff.

The collaboration allows fans to shop pieces inspired by outfits she has worn, particularly during her recent visit to Australia.

During a stop at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Meghan wore a designer dress by Karen Gee, paired with accessories and heels from high-end labels. According to the Daily Mail, the items were quickly featured on OneOff, complete with direct shopping links for users interested in recreating the look.

At another engagement at the Australian National Veterans Arts Museum, she stepped out in a coordinated suede outfit from St Agni, styled with additional designer pieces, many of which were also highlighted on the platform.

However, not every item made the list. Notably absent were sentimental accessories like jewelry linked to Princess Diana, which Meghan has often been seen wearing

Forget peekaboo cutouts and thigh-high slits — celebs are all about showing some serious skin on the red carpet.

Wearing outfits with expertly placed floral appliqués, lace in just the right place, or deciding to simply free the nipple has been going on for years. Take Rihanna, for example. The mom-to-be made a splash at the CFDA Fashion Awards in 2014 when she arrived in an Adam Selman sheer gown — sans a bra.

Such was the case for Zoë Kravitz at the 2021 Met Gala. The actress wore a see-through Yves Saint Laurent gown made of mesh. While she topped a handful of “best dressed” lists, some negative comments on social media got under her skin.

Having completed nearly a month in theaters worldwide, Project Hail Mary recently passed the coveted $500 million milestone at the global box office. The movie is on track to overtake its spiritual precursor, The Martian, in the coming days after having already surpassed the title domestically. Both sci-fi epics were based on bestselling novels by Andy Weir and scripted by Drew Goddard. The Martian received a Best Picture nod at the Oscars a decade ago, after grossing $630 million worldwide. Project Hail Mary has maintained an even higher Rotten Tomatoes score than that film, and is poised for awards season success as well. It’s now sitting at a 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to the 91% of The Martian. Over the course of its run, Project Hail Mary has overtaken several past sci-fi epics, many of which were equally well-received.

For instance, this past weekend, it overtook the lifetime worldwide box-office haul of War for the Planet of the Apes, directed by Matt Reeves. It had previously passed Christopher Nolan‘s Interstellar and the Will Smith-led dystopian epic I Am Legend. In its fourth week of release, Project Hail Mary overtook one of the best-reviewed sci-fi franchise-starters of the last two decades. The movie in question was released in 2009, but we aren’t talking about James Cameron‘s Avatar. That year saw the release of another sci-fi hit that coincidentally featured Zoe Saldaña in the cast.

Here’s How Much ‘Project Hail Mary’ Has Grossed at the Domestic Box Office

We’re talking, of course, about J.J. Abrams‘ Star Trek. The film grossed $257 million at the domestic box office, but it underperformed overseas for a worldwide haul of approximately $390 million. Project Hail Mary‘s domestic haul currently stands at $258 million. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the movie stars Ryan Gosling as the lead. Star Trek, on the other hand, starred Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho, and the late Anton Yelchin alongside Saldaña. The movie was followed by two sequels, Star Trek Into Darkness, also directed by Abrams, and Star Trek Beyond, directed by Justin Lin. The movies were simply not successful enough in international markets to justify the long-rumored fourth installment. However, a sprawling new television universe overseen by Alex Kurtzman is thriving on Paramount+.
