‘Doctor Who’s Most Divisive Showrunner Sheds Light on the Show’s Cancellation
How the timey-wimey have fallen. It wasn’t long ago that it felt like the future of Doctor Who was in safe hands, as former showrunner Russell T. Davies, who had helmed the series’ best modern period, returned to steer a once-sinking ship. However, this second stint for Davies, which saw him rely heavily on nostalgia and fail to turn around dropping ratings, ended in disaster. Even exciting new Time Lord Ncuti Gatwa seemingly exited earlier than expected, with his final episode a rushed, unconvincing mess.
It was recently announced that Doctor Who had been put out to competitive tender, with the once-promised 2026 Christmas special and hunt for a new lead, in fact, not true all along. Since this announcement, many have had their say, from Davies pulling the rug from beneath fans’ feet to former stars mourning the loss. Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall, who is cited as the showrunner who began this downward spiral for Doctor Who, has now candidly admitted on the WHO Corner to Corner podcast exactly what the main reason is behind this mammoth decision.
Chibnall revealed that it’s “very easy to miss the point that this is primarily about money,” adding, “It’s very hard for the BBC to fund their programmes right now because of what’s been done to them in terms of funding agreements over the past 15 years and the slow whittling away of that, and the increase in big Hollywood monoliths and conglomerates really taking over the market.” After a new regime at the BBC saw budgets slashed and many shows affected, this is hardly a surprise. “Really, what you’ve got is the BBC can’t afford to fully fund any drama now, and it certainly can’t afford to fund Doctor Who,” he added. Chibnall continued:
“Any discussion around it is about money more than anything else, and I think that that’s been missed a little in the discourse that I saw around the show. There’s all kinds of other things and obviously it’s hugely disappointing and hasn’t been handled brilliantly. But really, the big story is, look, this is a BBC that cannot afford to make shows that it wants to make. The BBC wants to make Doctor Who. Don’t be in any doubt about that.”
Will ‘Doctor Who’ Return?
As a show with change at its heart (or two hearts), Doctor Who and its millions of fans are no strangers to uncertainty. However, things haven’t felt this uncertain since the show first went off air all those decades ago. So what now? Will Doctor Who return? As one of the BBC’s flagship shows and one of the most famous sci-fi shows in the world, it’s unlikely Doctor Who will ever truly disappear. But will it return in its current form? That remains to be seen, but if BBC Studios can purchase the rights, then fans will have the best chance of seeing the timey-wimey show they know and love back on their screens.
You can stream the most recent Doctor Who seasons on Disney+. Stay tuned to Collider for the latest updates.

Dr. Torkian Reveals Why Filler Won’t Lift Your Face and What Creates a Snatched Look
Everyone wants a sculpted appearance, but according to celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Behrooz Torkian, you might be surprised by what really delivers that look.
The Beverly Hills, California based plastic surgeon has spent the past 20 years specializing in facial rejuvenation and says if you’ve been told filler can lift your face, it’s time to rethink that advice.
“For years we have been trying to bust the myth that fillers can lift skin or the face. They simply do not do that,” he tells ET. “Due to this wrongful belief, many patients have been overfilled with filler.”
Instead, he recommends solutions that truly address sagging skin.
“My practice is largely treatment of the aging face. One of the most requested procedures is treatment of the jowls and heavy necks. This was largely driven by the snatched look popularized by social media platforms, but with the increasing use of weight loss drugs, we are seeing more and more droopy lower faces as people lose fat. For this reason, my most requested procedures now are face and neck lift procedures,” he explains.
While platforms like Instagram and TikTok have made cosmetic procedures more mainstream, Torkian says it’s important to separate trends from reality.
“Patients are by and large more educated by social media. They have a better understanding of procedures and better knowledge of expected results. Unfortunately, some people get misled by the results they see and believe that any result is possible with any starting point. Sadly, that is not the case, and this is often best discussed during a consultation with an honest surgeon.”
If you’re not ready to go under the knife just yet, there are plenty of in-office options that can help refresh and tighten the skin.
“Botulinum toxin administered on a regular basis is our usual first step and another one of our favorites is doing a combination of Virtue RF and CoolPeel to tighten and improve skin laxity and polish skin that is getting droopy and dull in the lower face.”
To enhance those effects even further, he recommends incorporating regenerative therapies.
“The addition of biostimulatory treatments using peptides, exosomes, stem cells, and other such products to our existing treatments can enhance rejuvenation treatments overall,” he notes.
For anyone ready to dive face first into cosmetic surgery, subtlety is always the goal for Torkian.
“I always tell patients, ‘Let’s try not to get greedy’ when planning our aesthetic goals. Trying too hard to change features and change the structure of the face can quickly lead to very obviously surgical-looking results.”
His final piece of advice: Patience pays off.
“Come prepared with questions regarding healing and recovery so that you can proceed at a time that fits your life. Never rush a procedure into your schedule since you can never tell how you will feel and when you will feel comfortable resuming personal and social activities.”

2026’s Action Masterpiece Officially Returns This Year With New Release
Fight choreography goes two ways in cinema. It’s either average and the focus is elsewhere, or it’s all the film is about. Die Hard and John Wick are two good examples of the latter end of this spectrum. And when a dedicated martial arts film from the John Wick end of the spectrum scores this highly with critics (97% critics score and 95% popcornmeter on RT), it must really have some substance to justify the acclaim. For reference, John Wick sits at an 85% critics score on RT.
The film is helmed by Kenji Tanigaki, whose action work includes SPL and Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In. On top of it, the cast ensemble comes loaded too. Xie Miao began opposite Jet Li as a child actor, and Joe Taslim brought elite judo and The Raid experience. The rest of the cast is rounded out by Yayan Ruhian, JeeJa Yanin (Chocolate), Brian Le and Joey Iwanaga. While the film was released in 2026, Lionsgate, the film’s distributor also responsible for the home media roll-out, has now announced a 4K release.
Lionsgate Limited will release The Furious: 4K Collector’s Edition on August 11, 2026, priced at $29.99, and it will be sold through the label’s own store. The two-disc package contains the 113-minute, R-rated film on a 100GB 4K UHD disc and standard Blu-ray, plus a U.S.-only digital copy. The presentation retains its 2.39:1 widescreen composition with Dolby Vision and an English Dolby Atmos track, both of which are important upgrades for a movie whose wide framing tracks several fighters simultaneously and whose sound design makes every fall, strike, blade, and environmental impact legible.
In the 4K collector’s edition, extras include, but aren’t limited to, A Storm of Carnage: Creating The Furious, a dedicated Five-Man Brawl feature; deleted scenes; the trailer; reversible artwork by Khang Giate and Vincent Aseo; and a booklet featuring an essay by critic Priscilla Page. While The Furious didn’t do too well at the box office (raked in only $39.75 million worldwide against a budget of $20 million in June), it has managed to sit in high regard with both critics and audiences. The stakeholders seem to be tapping into that reception with this whole collector’s package released in the same year, just 2 months after its release.
The Furious follows a mute Chinese father and a tenacious journalist who team up to rescue an abducted daughter and a missing wife from a criminal network after corrupt police refuse to help. There are intense fighting sequences in the film, and it’s reported that for one of the final sequences, Tanigaki’s team rehearsed the fighting sequence for three months and spent 18 shooting days completing it. For a film like that, extras have real meat on them because they help show all the detail that went into justifying the punches, throws, improvised weapons, and bodies colliding inside the frame.
The Furious is available to stream on Prime Video, but its 100+ GB 4K Collector’s Edition will be available to buy at $29.99 a piece starting August 11, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Young and Restless Early Spoilers Aug 10-14: Adam’s Fury Explodes & Matt Issues Threat!
Young and the Restless spoilers Aug 10-14 are intense with Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) absolutely enraged at several people and at least two of them deserve his wrath. Plus, Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) pushes back and makes some threats the Newmans should probably pay attention to.
Also, the week of August 10th through the 14th, we’ll see Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) scrambling to make things right for his pregnant fiancée, Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) while Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) celebrates with Christine Blair Romalotti (Lauralee Bell).
And remember, always on Early Edition Day, we start with what is going on the rest of this week and then we get into what is ahead next week.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Adam Flips Out on Sally
So, on Wednesday, August 5th, we’re going to have Adam ranting at Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) at her house. He’s on fire about Billy running his mouth to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) about the Newman Media deal. Adam says Billy cannot be trusted and he asks why Sally told Billy about the deal at all.
But Sally claims she just had no choice. However, Adam says Victor’s furious and Sally says, “Well, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) is the one who told Billy about Newman Media and she just filled in the gaps.” Adam says Billy wanted to protect her from Adam, but he’s not the problem. It’s Victor. And now Billy has made it all so much worse.
Sally tells Adam she was never going to keep it from Billy and says they don’t lie to each other like Adam used to lie to her when they were together. And he tells Sally he doesn’t know if he can protect her against Victor after what Billy did, but Adam’s still willing to try. And he advises Sally to get Billy under control before he makes things even worse than he already has. Sally says sorry and she and Adam talk about her pregnancy cravings.
Then, Billy shows up and he’s gloating at how upset Victor was to hear about the deal. Adam leaves angry and then Sally’s mad that Billy antagonized Victor. He initially won’t apologize, but Sally is furious and says Billy undermined her and put her company at risk. Sally threatens him and says Billy better find a way to fix what he broke. And she storms out mad.
Y&R Spoilers: Matt Clark’s Dangerous Threats
Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) overhears Matt leaving a message for Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) about not having clothes to wear to his office job at Arabesque. And Cane wants to know if he’s working for Phyllis and asks about him targeting Victor. And Matt says he doesn’t want to target anybody. But Cane says if you’re working for Phyllis, you will be because that’s all she does. Matt says he’s just trying to get out from under Victor’s control and already moved out of the ranch. And Matt says he’s only staying in town because of Phyllis.
And Cane tells him about his Dumas days and says people died. Matt admits he is an even worse man and has done things so much more heinous than Cane even considered doing. So, Matt says he will never be forgiven because he’s been a monster to Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), Noah Newman (Lucas Adams), and his ex-wife Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun), who he tried to kill recently. Matt says he lost his memory, then got it back, and it was an absolute horror show. And he hopes that he really has changed, but Matt honestly doesn’t know if he has for sure.
Cane admires his honesty. And Matt admits he’s scared of Victor’s wrath. And Cane warns that when Phyllis turns on him, she’s pretty treacherous, too. Adam shows up and starts hassling Matt before Matt can amp up too much. Matt says he told Cane the truth about everything. Adam keeps on, but Cane tells Adam, “Just leave us alone.” So, he tells Matt to leave Genoa City, and Matt tells Adam he’s staying and he can defend himself if they force him to. And then Matt warns Adam they should just leave him alone.
Young and the Restless: Victor and Nikki’s Vow Renewal
Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) gets home to find a romantic setting and Victor puts her ring on her finger, asks her to marry him again. He left a dress upstairs and Nikki comes down looking all pretty, ready to renew their vows. Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) is officiating. Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway), Claire Newman (Hayley Erin), and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) are there. Nick checked out of rehab short-term hopefully to be there too. But Nick wants to know where Adam is.
So, Victor tells Nick that the two of them argued over Newman Media and now Adam’s not replying to his texts. Nick says Noah leaving town hit him really hard and the kids that are there make speeches after the ceremony and Nick says Victor and Nikki prove that love can conquer all.
Y&R Spoilers: Cane & Billy Act Like Grown Ups
Thursday, August 6th on The Young and the Restless, Cane and Billy are willing to put their differences aside for Jill Abbott’s (Jess Walton) sake. Billy told Sally couple of weeks ago that Jill is hiding something big from him and from Cane. Billy thought initially it was something to do with business, but I have a feeling it might be to do with Jill’s health. Maybe her heart is failing after all.
Christine is stunned this week when Danny brings her to The Shadow Room and says he’s done touring and that Noah has hired him as the new rock club manager. So, we should be seeing more of Danny and Christine. And I’m sure Phyllis is going to show up soon with Matt to push their buttons.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Sally on Damage Control
Sally proposes a new deal to Adam. And I’m sure that Sally’s trying to do damage control now that Billy ran his mouth and blabbed Adam and Sally’s deal to Victor. And of course, Adam and Sally are both worried Victor will come after Spectra Charles. I think it’d be kind of interesting if Adam and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) teamed up with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) and Sally and they all work together because Adam’s so ticked off at Victor.
Sienna and Noah are officially done at Young and the Restless. Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun are out. We’ll have to wait and see if the new writers decide to bring them back. I like Lucas Adams, but the writers have never done a good job writing for Noah. They wasted Rory Gibson in the role. And of course, Tamara Braun’s always great, but Josh Griffith failed her as well.


Young and Restless: Mariah Meets Matt – Upcoming Week
Friday, August 7th, on Young and the Restless, Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) meets Matt. So, Mariah said that she sees herself in Matt while talking to her mom and her brother. But no. And Sharon said, “No, you don’t compare yourself to Matt the monster.” Honestly, it would be so cringe if Mariah and Matt became friends because of his past actions.
It would be awful, but honestly, I put nothing past the ex-headwriter who is thankfully gone, but unfortunately his work is still being featured on these episodes. Also, this week, Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) talks to his boss Cane at the GCAC bar. Adam’s working with Victoria to help Nick by the end of the week. He may be trying to not go back to rehab after checking out for Victor and Nikki’s vow renewal.
Even if Adam’s annoyed with Victor, he definitely is going to stick around to see Nick get his life back together. Audra points Billy in the right direction. I expect Audra’s giving Billy advice on how to clean up the mess he made by blabbing Sally’s secret to Victor. But there’s no way that Billy can go to Victor directly to fix things because he hates Billy Boy. We all know that.
Y&R Spoilers: New Character Marie Kirkland Debuts
Then the week of August 10th through the 14th, we have Jade Harlow debuting as Marie Kirkland. She starts on Monday, August 10th. It is a recurring role. Marie has a complicated past and comes to Genoa City to make a fresh start. So, I’m wondering if this is somebody that maybe Nick meets in rehab or at an NA meeting if he decides to blow off rehab.
Cane and Matt may conspire against Victor while he’s gone to Italy with Nikki. Matt says he doesn’t want to go after anybody, but if the Newmans don’t leave him alone, as Adam threatened, then Matt may decide to retaliate because he just told Adam he’ll defend himself if he must. And I think you want to take a warning from Matt Clark pretty seriously.
Mariah is readjusting to life back in Genoa City. I’m wondering if Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) and Aria are going to finally pop back up on screen or if it’s going to be nothing but off-screen mentions. Mariah will have more scenes with Matt soon. Things turn around for Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James) and Abby after Mariah and Devon get together to talk through his ongoing anger issues that Mariah of course knows are all her fault. Hopefully Devon will then open up to Abby after he talks with Mariah.
Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and Cane mix pleasure with their business. So, that means more frisky time. Hopefully, they’re going to hit the sheets and not just the couch cushions again. And Danny has written a new love song and he’s going to serenade Christine with it up at the Shadow Room.

Perez Hilton’s Rep Addresses Blogger’s Hospitalization
Perez Hilton’s team is speaking out after the blogger was transported to a hospital following a disturbing livestream.
“At this time, we do not have any additional confirmed information to share regarding Perez Hilton’s condition,” Hilton’s agent Dante Rusciolelli tells Us in a statement. “Our focus remains on Perez’s health, recovery, and the privacy of both him and his family during this incredibly difficult time.”
His rep continued that Perez’s team is “grateful for the outpouring of concern and support from fans, friends, and members of the media.”
“We respectfully ask that everyone continue to honor his privacy while he receives the care he needs,” the statement concludes, adding that any verified updates will come directly from Rusciolelli.
Hilton, 48, appeared to engage in self-harm behaviors during a late-night livestream on Tuesday, August 4, and police were subsequently notified.
“The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office received multiple calls regarding an individual who was live-streaming acts of self-harm on social media,” read a statement from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office to Us. “Deputies quickly located the individual’s residence, where they spoke with family members on scene, and confirmed he was alone inside.”
The statement continued, “In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize deescalation by creating time, distance and opportunities for communication. At this time, deputies have tactfully disengaged while continuing to monitor the situation.”
In a separate statement, authorities confirmed that Hilton was “safely recovered” and transported to a nearby hospital.
“He is receiving medical attention,” the second statement read, without mentioning Hilton by name. “The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Crisis Response Unit and Licensed Mental Health Professionals are also on scene providing support and resources to the individual’s family.”
According to 911 dispatch audio obtained by Page Six on Wednesday, August 5, first responders were called to Hilton’s home for an apparent “suicide attempt.” Multiple units arrived at the scene on Tuesday and reportedly stayed at his Miami residence for hours.
“We are aware of the concerning content circulating online involving our client, Perez Hilton,” Rusciolelli and Golden Artists Entertainment co-CEO Rebekah Kochan wrote via Instagram on Tuesday. “At this time, we have not been able to make direct contact with him, despite our ongoing efforts to reach him. Our primary concern is Perez’s health and well being, as well as the well being of his family.”
They concluded, “Until we have confirmed information, we will not speculate or comment further. We appreciate everyone’s concern and ask that his privacy be respected during this time.”
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org.

Beyond the Gates Early Spoilers Aug 10-14: Anita’s Alert and Leslie Loses Control!
Beyond the Gates spoilers Aug 10-14 include Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) warning one of her daughters. And we’ve also got Leslie Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) unhinged and lashing out despite her promises of big life changes after Eva’s life and death ordeal.
We have Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) collapsing one last time. Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry) panicking as the game is up and also Eva Thomas Richardson (Ambyr Michelle) getting distressing news.
And as we always do on early edition day, we talk about what’s happening the rest of this week and then get into what is happening the week ahead.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Anita Lashes Out in Frustration
On Wednesday, August 5th, Beyond the Gates episodes, we’re going to see Anita frustrated and banging on the piano at home while Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) watches with some concern. This may be tied into Anita giving her daughter a deadline. So, this could be her insisting that Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) cannot be allowed to fixate on Bill and Hayley much longer.
Anita may say, “You got two days and then it’s done.” Obviously, she’s also interested in whether horrible Hayley is cheating on Bill or up to something. But the bottom line is Vernon and Anita don’t want Dani fixated on Bill again. They know it’s not healthy for her. Dani is finally in a good place after bringing a gun to Bill’s wedding and going off the rails in many ways since then.
BTG Spoilers: Eva Gets Awful News
Eva gets terrible news on Wednesday. I’m worried there’s going to be some kind of complications with her transplant, but it could be work-related at the clinic. And we have seen her insisting to Izaiah Hawthorne (David Lami Friebe) that she’s fine, but she’s also very self-conscious about her scar. So, she’s been putting off intimacy. But Eva also has seemed like she’s still in some sort of pain.
Then again, the terrible news may be about her crazy mom, Leslie, who’s sticking her nose into Nicole Dupree Richardson‘s (Daphnee Duplaix) business. Again, Leslie specifically hired Noah because he is Kyle’s son, the son of one of Nicole’s boyfriends. And now Leslie is dumping poison in Noah’s ears. We also have Leslie blasting Nicole in front of Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald (Robert Christopher Riley).
Leslie’s at Fairmont Crest Country Club watching Carlton and Nicole. And Leslie is snarking to herself, saying, “Daddy’s getting laid by darling Nicole at the Comfort Inn and Suite.” So maybe because Leslie knows Kial Rollins (Greg Vaughan) crashing at Nicole’s place, she’s making snarky hotel comments. Noah may have spilled to Leslie that his dad is at Nicole’s house a lot.
Beyond the Gates: Vernon/Izaiah Meeting and College Drama
Vernon gets together with Izaiah. This may be about Banaker business, or he may be checking in on Eva and what else has been going on. Tyrell Richardson (Jaden Lucas Miller) plan blows up in his face. We know that he was wanting to go to school with Jessica and that didn’t work out.
And she’s already told Tyrell that long-distance romance is not what she wants. Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) loses it and tells his son that you are not half-assing your way through college. And Tyrell claps back at Martin and Smitty that he’s tired of listening to what everybody wants him to do. He says he’s 18, but then he storms off like a toddler.
BTG Spoilers: Ted Clashes with Leslie
Thursday, August 6th, we’ve got Leslie and Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson) clashing over Eva on Beyond the Gates. And it might be about this bad news that she gets. Both Ted and Leslie always want to take care of Eva. Randy is suddenly a frequent topic of conversation in the DMV.
His affiliation with Hayley baffles the Dupree family. Dani and Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) initially think that Hayley is bedding him, but then Vanessa gave them some info indicating Hayley and Randy are from the same hometown. And as viewers know, they are actually cousins and not kissing cousins either.
Dani is really shaking Randy up when she corners him with some very pointed questions about him and Hayley. And I wonder if Dani will question Randy about the day of Hayley’s alleged miscarriage and why he used another name during that encounter and pretended not to know Hayley.
Dani may threaten to go see Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) and that might scare Randy. I’m also wondering if he warns Hayley that the Dupree are getting way too close for comfort to what they’ve been doing.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Bill & Chelsea Argue While Andre Faces His Past
Bill bickers with Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla) about Hayley. His daughters are sure she’s up to bad things, but Bill will never admit he messed up with Hayley because his ego won’t allow it.
Nicole and Carlton reach a new understanding. We know he wants Nicole to himself, and that’s not what she wants. So, Carlton may tap out because he’s frustrated, or Nicole may tell him, “Take it or leave it.” And Carlton decides to leave it, at least for now.
Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) messy past catches up with him towards the end of the week. So far, Dani’s in the dark over Andre’s anxiety about the mystery champagne, and it might be a bad omen. Very soon, his stalker makes herself known.
BTG Spoilers: Bill’s Deathbed Crisis
Then on Friday, August 7th, on Beyond the Gates, Kial is taken aback. This may be with Nicole, or he may learn from Noah what Leslie has been saying about Nicole, Anita, and the other Duprees. We also have a spoiler that says Nicole updates a shocked Kial. So, these may be separate spoilers or the same ones worded differently because it came from two sources. So, after the showdown with Carlton, after Leslie made that scene, Nicole may decide that she is ready to commit to Kial, at least to some extent. They may be exclusive soon.
Things start going right for Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings) when she gets what she wants. It looks like Bill’s about to be on his deathbed. Looks like he collapses, but thankfully Caroline Lee (Ellie Wang) is there to help him. I’m sure she’ll get Bill to the hospital where Madison Montgomery (Kenjah McNeil) is scrambling to figure out what’s wrong because Bill is so much worse. Looks like Hayley might have gone crazy with his final dose of poison because Randy may warn her that time is up.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Eva Gets Awful News
Ted comforts his upset daughter. It’s likely Eva as she gets terrible news this week. But Kat Richardson (Colby Muhammad) also been working on this Hayley project and she may be distraught that they didn’t stop her in time and now Bill’s in life or death mode.
Andre can’t deal with it alone anymore and he asks Bradley ‘Smitty’ Smith (Mike Manning) for help. Andre’s been looking over his shoulder and needs help finding his stalker to stop them.
Andre may have an inkling of who it is based on his messy past when he was in Europe. Joey’s sister Heather Armstrong (Ashley Jones) gets closer to both Dani and Vanessa. Heather the Impaler is dangerous and Joey may not want her any closer to Vanessa.
BTG Week of August 10-14 Spoilers: Things Get Worse for Andre
Then the week of August 10th through the 14th on Beyond the Gates, we’re going to see Andre’s stalker amping up and sending him an invitation to meet. It’s all very mysterious. And this has scorned and obsessed ex-lover written all over it. It’s a bad time since Dani cheated with Bill at the fundraiser.
She’s sitting on that secret and Andre sitting on this secret. And secrets aren’t good for a marriage. Martin and Smitty try to help Tyrell who is dumped by Jessica soon and is totally heartbroken. Samantha Richardson (Najah Jackson) may be full of I told you so because she literally told Tyrell so.


Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Vernon Watches Dani & Bill
Vernon keeps a watchful eye on Dani with regard to Bill after this life or death collapse and Hayley’s endgame is out. I think Anita and Vernon are going to be concerned that Dani will backtrack to her ex and Vernon takes a note of Bill’s behavior when he starts to recover. That’ll be later in August.
And he’s going to demand answers about his intentions with Dani because of course Anita and Vernon want Bill to stay away from Dani. I’m guessing that Anita and Vernon are going to be horrified when they inevitably learn about Dani and Bill’s elevator encounter.
Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) planning something big for Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) in the next couple of weeks, but he needs help from her bestie Ashley Morgan (Jen Jacob) and her boyfriend Grayson Perez (Jordie Vilasuso). So, it sounds like it’s something fun at Uptown since they’re hanging out there all the time and Grayson is now the bartender there.
BTG Spoilers: Bill Gets a Rude Awakening
Eva and Izaiah get real with each other, and this could take them to a new level in their relationship. Look for jealous Leslie to keep prodding at Nicole and trying to manipulate Noah into thinking the worst of his dad, Kyle’s girlfriend. Although, I’m sure that Nicole and Kyle will figure out what she’s up to, and they may write Noah a reality check.
Ted remains concerned about both of his daughters. And Bill soon has to face the ugly truth about his horrible life choices and what they almost cost him, his very life itself. And we’ll find out if Hayley gets away with attempted murder.

Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith Reunite With Daughter
Exes Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith reunited for a fun-filled vacation with their daughter.
Turner-Smith, 39, shared a glimpse of the family’s travels to the Four Seasons Resort Nevis in the Caribbean via Instagram on Tuesday, August 4. In one image, Jackson, 48, held daughter Juno, 6, on his lap while she wore a white dress and hair bow and faced away from the camera.
In another snap, Juno and Turner-Smith walked the property together while a separate clip showed Juno running in the sand at night. She also captured the picturesque views including a gorgeous sunset as well as the birds and monkeys on the island, in addition to a tasty dessert with Juno’s name covered in sprinkles and M&M’s.
“Dreamy days at @fsnevis #FSNevis,” Turner-Smith captioned the upload.

Jackson and Turner-Smith tied the knot in 2019, welcoming their daughter one year later. Turner-Smith filed for divorce from Jackson in 2023 after four years of marriage. Their split was finalized in 2025, with the exes ultimately agreeing to share joint legal and physical custody of their daughter.
The following year, Turner-Smith opened up about how she and Jackson talked to their daughter about their separation.
“I’m a child of divorce, myself, and so is my ex-husband,” Turner-Smith said during a June episode of Hoda Kotb’s “Joy 101” podcast. “It’s always been important to think about what is the language around which we are going to talk about this with our daughter because this is her new reality.”
She continued, “We’re learning as well and not always getting it totally right, but the idea is always two homes filled with love. I’m like, ‘You got two houses, girl.’”
Turner-Smith shared that the “difficult” part of dealing with her and Jackson calling it quits was “navigating the conversation” with their daughter.
“You got to walk this line between, obviously, being age appropriate and child-centered in the way that you talk about it,” Turner-Smith said. “But also keeping it real, so that she has an understanding of what this means.”
For Turner-Smith, books have become her “favorite tool” for these types of conversations.
“I read her so many books about divorce, about what that means. About what that new world is, about what is supposed to be happening, what’s not supposed to be happening,” Turner-Smith shared. “Children’s books have been helpful as well.”
Jackson, for his part, has been candid about how becoming a parent has been a “self-healing” journey for him.
“People are like, ‘Well, you’re really parenting yourself.’ You’re reparenting and all these things,” he said during an April 2025 episode of the “Dinner’s on Me” podcast. “But until you’re experientially in them, or at least for me, I didn’t really get that until, until frankly some difficult things happen or the divorce happens and it’s like, ‘Oh, right.’”

Mom Speaks After Nursing Board Complaint
Nolan Wells‘ mom, Christine Wonsley, has shared an update after an anonymous complaint prompted the Mississippi Board of Nursing to open a professional misconduct investigation against her.

Ben Crump Speaks After Complaint Prompted Miss. Board Of Nursing To Open Misconduct Investigation Against Nolan Wells’ Mom
On Wednesday, August 5, Ben Crump released a statement via his website. In the message, the attorney explained that “someone is going after” Christine Wonsley’s “nursing license, anonymously.”
“This is a warning shot at a grieving mother, meant to pressure and scare her into staying quiet. It is a distraction, it is intimidation, and we will not let it stand. Christine had part of her identity stolen from her the day Nolan died. Now, someone is trying to take another piece of it. This cruelty knows no bounds,” he continued.
From there, Crump encouraged the public to “look at the timeline.”
“Christine has cared for patients in Mississippi throughout her career, years of service to her patients without a single complaint against her with the Board of Nursing. Then her son was found dead. She did what any grieving mother would do: she took a leave of absence to bury her child and search for answers,” he continued. “And only now, after all of that, does an anonymous person want the Board of Nursing to believe she is a bad nurse. Nothing about her practice changed. The only thing that changed is that she started asking questions.”
Crump noted that as Wonsley grieves, she now has to “defend her professional record.”
“No family should accept that, and no institution should tolerate it. Attacking a grieving mother’s career does not answer the question of what happened to Nolan. It tells us the question matters, and the answer is scaring somebody. We will keep asking questions and demanding the facts until Christine knows how her son died,” he concluded.
Social Media Reacts To Miss. Board Of Nursing Opening Misconduct Investigation Against Nolan Wells’ Mom
Social media users reacted to the Mississippi Board of Nursing opening up a misconduct investigation against Nolan Wells’ mom, Christine Wonsley, in WLOX’s comment section.
Instagram user @irretb wrote, “She was part of my husbands GI health care team and was amazing competent and caring. Shame on everyone who has worked to bring harm to her I hope you never have to bear such a burden as I doubt you would show the same grace.”
While Instagram user @gorgeous.mima13 added, “And they saying it’s not about racism well they are proving themselves wrong! “What Happened To Nolan Wells” their son their family member who didn’t come home?”
Instagram user @mississ_hippie_ wrote, “To go out of your way and attack a grieving mother. This is the lowest form of human behavior. Absolutely vile. And unfortunately, not one bit surprising.”
While Instagram user @c4ndied_gvts added, “shes my uncles doctor and he had nothing but lovely things to say about her. this behavior towards a grieving mother is disgusting”
Christine Wonsley Shares Update About Complaint & Investigation
On Wednesday, August 5, Christine Wonsley took to Facebook to share an update about the investigation.
“Update: the case has been CLOSED by the MSBON. Thank you to all of those who have constantly kept us in your prayers. This definitely has added more hurt to an already devastating time because I love my job and I love my patients. #JusticeForNolanWells #Forever18,” she wrote.

Big Brother Eviction Prediction: Shock Twist Saves Drew from the Block!
Big Brother eviction for week 4 comes tomorrow. And incredibly, it looks like there’s a chance Drew Campbell could be saved this week. It’s ironic since he doesn’t seem to realize the danger he’s in but the votes seem to be flipping to save him.
Big Brother 28: Angela and Dee Redirect
Tuesday, out of the blue, Angela Murray and Dee Valladares who have been so determined to get Drew out of the BB28 house suddenly reversed course. They started trying to figure out how to keep Drew.
They realize that he’ll go after Haley Thogmartin, Chuk Anyanwu and Kamuela “Kamu” Kirk which means the icons won’t have to. Dee thinks that even though Drew’s gotten close to the other side, they think he’ll still ride with the Crossovers.
Angela realized Haley’s a problem since Angela, Dee and others convinced Haley that Drew was the danger and needed to be on the block. So Angela suggested pivoting and selling Haley on the idea that Melody Morris is the danger.
Angela later went to Haley saying Mallory Aurichio has the power and Melody’s close to her, starting to sell this flip.
Big Brother: Is Drew Really Safe?
Angela told Dee she feels comfortable keeping Drew despite her entire previous rant saying she can see that Drew’s coming for her. Angela’s the kind who wakes up mad at her husband because of things she imagined he did in her dream. She needs to be medicated at this point.
Rick Devens was sold on the vote flip but he’s also happy just to not be a target. Meanwhile, Kamu‘s pitching Lyric Medeiros for eviction because she might get a power from the BB Time Capsule.
Dee ate that up and said she’d vote out Lyric. Rick Devens, Dee and Angela convinced Haley to take the target off Drew when they’d painted it on him. Then, Haley worked on Chuk and Kamu to vote to keep him. Dee’s just running this game.
She wanted Drew on the block, up he went. She wants him safe, looks like he might be. Barrett Pfeiffer now knows from Dee that Drew’s not the target. This could be a game changer if Drew stays.
Especially if Barrett clues Drew in that he was the real target. I don’t know if Barrett’s got the courage to out the icons though and he’s still got his fanboy crush on Dee.
Big Brother 28: Strategic Chaos
Also and this is funny on the feeds yesterday, Haley said the Dee winning the first HOH competition was a fluke and it won’t happen again. Haley has clearly not seen Survivor. Or The Challenge. In Survivor 45, which Dee won, she won the most individual immunity idols of the season.
By the way, Dee planted seeds with Lyric that the HOH crew of Haley, Kamu and Chuk were lying to her and planning to evict Lyric if she doesn’t win Blockbuster. But are doing it lowkey so if she stays, she won’t come after them.
Dee also suggested that Lyric go to Haley and tell her she wants to target Dee, saying it might help them vote to keep her. Lyric didn’t like that, said she trusts Dee and Lyric doesn’t want her name out there for any reason.
Dee said it’s something Lyric can offer them. But she told Dee she already threw Mallory under the bus and it didn’t keep her off the block. Dee insisted this isn’t Lyric throwing her under the bus because Dee trusts her.
Lyric said Haley said her renomination was for trust building and Dee said who is Haley, president of Big Brother? Dee also let Lyric know that Kamu had turned on Lyric and wanted her out.
Now, if Lyric had just gone and told Haley what Dee said about not trusting them, that could’ve flipped the game in a very uncomfortable way for the icons.


BB28 Prediction: Dee’s Mist and Major Moves
So, as of now, here’s where we stand but things are still in motion. If Drew wins the blockbuster, that’s Melody versus Lyric and Melody likely goes but it might be a really tight split.
And if Lyric wins the blockbuster, and it’s Drew versus Melody Thursday night, then Melody should be out. If Melody wins blockbuster, Lyric will be evicted over Drew. However, Dee really doesn’t want the showmance potential of Drew and Melody to remain a power pair in the house.
That’s after the drama of Taco Tuesday. With Waffle Wednesday in the works, we’ll see where things land. But what’s clear is Dee’s in the driver’s seat and her mist is real – people are just walking into whatever she wants.
But the highlight of Tuesday was Rick Devens hiding behind the Have Not medieval door and jump-scaring Haley so bad that she had an accident in her flannels. Dee was laughing hysterically and saying she had to try that hiding spot soon as Haley went off to change her pants.
Big Brother 28: Haley’s Delusions and Melody’s Plans
Here’s some more Haley insanity. She thinks America’s going to feel so bad for what a hard time she’s having in Big Brother 28 and put her for the Time Capsule. Someone needs to revoke her victim card because she’s overplaying it. Also, she thinks Chuk will win HOH.
Also speaking of Dee – in the bathroom she whispered at the cameras. “Look at what I’m gonna do, I’m gonna talk loud and make people think I don’t have the power. And America, I forgive you for not sending me the power. I hope I get it this week, but I forgive you for not sending it to me.”
And in case she’s still on the chopping block after the BB blockbuster, Melody’s plotting. She’s rehearsing this big epic speech to target Haley as a mean girl, bring up her whining about having a hard three weeks when she’s been totally safe.
Fight from the Feeds on BB28
Also there was a big screaming fight on the feeds last night but turns out it was just a bit – they were playing a game. Drew was screaming I hate all of you, get out of my room. Yash Patel was involved, Lyric too, maybe Chuk. At any rate, it was a big nothing burger.
Rick Devens and Dee had a muted conversation about the DR getting in their ears about flipping things. Sounds like production might want Drew to stay.

7 Great 2026 Emmy-Nominated Shows That Are Actually Worth the Hype
The 78th annual Primetime Emmy Award nominations were announced last month, and once again eyebrows were raised, for better or for worse. For example, hearts were warmed when Back to the Future star Michael J. Fox won his first nomination since 2016, earning one of nine nominations for the Apple TV hit Shrinking in the Guest Actor in a Comedy Series category.
However, there were plenty of snubs also catching attention, such as another year going by without a major category nod for the prolific Taylor Sheridan, despite expectations that Landman would break his Emmys curse. Despite controversy overshadowing the final series, it was also expected that Sydney Sweeney would score an acting nod for Euphoria, although that was not meant to be. Nevertheless, the Emmys also got plenty right this year, including these great 2026 Emmy-nominated shows that are actually worth the hype.
‘The Pitt’ (2025–Present)
Medical dramas have been popular for a long time, yet were often seen as formulaic, especially following the huge success of Grey’s Anatomy. Then came The Pitt, which changed all that with one of the most innovative, timely takes on the genre yet. Tackling the daily lives of healthcare professionals in a Pittsburgh hospital, each episode of The Pitt takes place during exactly one hour of a character’s shift.
A moving discussion of the most relevant aspects of modern health, from the horrors of loss to the minutiae of mental wellbeing, The Pitt leaves no stone unturned in its quest to bring the beating heart of the real industry to our screens. The series was the biggest winner out of this year’s nominations, scoring a whopping 25 nods. Not only did it receive repeat nominations for Outstanding Drama Series and Lead Actor in a Drama Series, much of the supporting cast became first-time nominees, like Patrick Ball, Taylor Dearden, and Fiona Dourif.
‘Widow’s Bay’ (2026–Present)
The pitch-perfect blend of horror and comedy that permeated through the titular town afflicted by a centuries-old curse in Widow’s Bay has been 2026’s biggest surprise. Sure, Apple TV releasing yet another 10/10 series isn’t a shock, but the release of Widow’s Bay had flown under the radar, that is, until reviews came out and people quickly realized this was one of the year’s best gems.
Led by Matthew Rhys as the mayor of the island community, in one of his best roles in years, this eccentric series is a fresh addition to the streaming rotation of 2026; its cast includes the likes of Stephen Root, Dale Dickey, Kate O’Flynn, and Hamish Linklater. The show’s success at the Emmy nominations is a welcome reminder that it isn’t always the obvious choices that get the recognition they deserve. The series was the most-nominated of any new show this year, earning 19 nods.
‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ (2026–Present)
A prequel to Game of Thrones that adapts George R. R. Martin‘s novella series Tales of Dunk and Egg, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is one of the most notable successes coming out of this year’s nominee announcement. In total, the show received nine nominations, including for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Cinematography, and Outstanding Special Visual Effects.
This success is all the more important considering the controversial second season of House of the Dragon, which preceded it, with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms able to dust off the Game of Thrones cobwebs and remind the fanbase why they love Westeros so much. Despite the lack of dragons, the duo of Ser Duncan (Peter Claffey) and Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) is exactly what the fanbase needed. Without a doubt, one of the best shows of 2026 so far, this is a refreshing reminder that light and shade are key to narrative triumph.
‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ (2026–Present)
Another hit for Apple TV in 2026, and one that dominated the streaming charts throughout its acclaimed run, is Margo’s Got Money Troubles. An adaptation of Rufi Thorpe’s bestseller of the same name, the series continues Elle Fanning‘s remarkable run of acclaimed performances, as she stars as the titular Margo, who turns to OnlyFans for support after falling pregnant with her English professor’s baby.
Although some shows should be praised for their timelessness, Margo’s Got Money Troubles is a perfect example of a series elevated by the year in which it was released. Brilliantly timely and featuring a stellar supporting cast, including Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman, and Greg Kinnear, the series earned eight nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series. Margo’s Got Money Problems is such a hit that it even earned itself a Season 2 renewal.
‘Ocean with David Attenborough’ (2025)
It isn’t just fictional shows celebrated at TV’s most prestigious ceremony, with one of factual entertainment’s very best contributors even breaking an Emmys record this year. David Attenborough, the greatest nature filmmaker of all time, took home another two nominations this year, making him the oldest nominee in Primetime Emmy history at 100-years-old.
Attenborough isn’t slowing down anytime soon, with 2025’s Ocean with David Attenborough one of his finest shows in years. The great man plunges into the depths of the Earth’s most unexplored realm, emphasizing its vital role in the safety and progression of our planet, but not shying away from the many problems that surround it today. But, as all Attenborough content is, the series bursts with hope, reminding us that the battle to save the planet is far from lost.
‘Spider-Noir’ (2026–Present)
As Tom Holland‘s recent record-breaking return as Peter Parker in Brand New Day has illustrated, people simply can’t get enough of the Spider-Man franchise. Before Brand New Day was making box office history with the highest-grossing opening weekend ever, Prime Video delivered one of the finest new shows of 2026 with Spider-Noir, a spin-off of the animated Spider-Verse films (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse).
Slick, stylish, and packed with gripping mystery, Spider-Noir impressed both audiences and critics, including Collider’s Aidan Kelly, who awarded the series 7/10 in his review. Key to the series’ triumph was a tone-perfect lead performance from Oscar winner Nicolas Cage as 1930s New York Private Investigator Ben Reilly, with his battles against crime and his own personal demons making for encapsulating, oddly nostalgic viewing. Cage is one of several famous faces adding to the grandeur of the show, with Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston, and Brendan Gleeson also featuring. Spider-Noir was the most-nominated Prime Video series at this year’s Emmys with a total of 11 nods.
‘Wednesday’ (2022–Present)
Much of the focus when discussing Emmy nominations is put on those with nods in the main categories (Outstanding Series, Outstanding Performance, etc.). However, there are also many technical categories worthy of note, with Netflix’s Wednesday one of the best success stories from this year’s nominations in the technicals this year, earning a nod for costumes, hairstyling, production design, makeup, and more.
Jenna Ortega‘s return to Nevermore Academy as everyone’s favorite nihilistic teen was one of the must-watch shows of 2025, not just because it took three years for the second season. The series might not be the most polished, but what it lacks in narrative nuance it makes up for in visual genius, which will come as no surprise when considering Tim Burton’s involvement behind the camera. Too bad fans might be waiting a little longer for Season 3.
