Britney Spears’ Ex Jason Alexander Defends Her Amid Arrest
Britney Spears’ first husband Jason Alexander is coming to her defense in the wake of her DUI arrest.
Posting via his Instagram account on Thursday, March 5, Alexander who was married to Spears, 44, for 55 hours in January 2004, urged everyone to “slow down” when discussing the pop star’s most recent run-in with the law.
“If reports are accurate that she blew a .06, that’s below the legal limit in most states. And if the only substances in her system were legally prescribed medications, that changes the narrative completely,” Alexander, 44, wrote.
He continued, “At most, what’s being discussed right now could potentially amount to minor misdemeanor charges — things like reckless driving or simple possession if a substance was found in the car.”
Alexander, a childhood friend whom Spears married while under the influence in Las Vegas before the marriage was quickly annulled, warned that speculation over Spears’ DUI arrest could “spiral out of control.”
“Rumors spread faster than facts, and suddenly someone is being judged before the truth is even clear,” he continued. “Britney Spears deserves the same thing anyone else does: facts, fairness, and due process — not headlines built on speculation.”

Us Weekly previously confirmed the “Womanizer” singer was arrested for driving under the influence near her home in Ventura County, California.
Spears was taken into police custody on Wednesday, March 4, at 9:28 p.m., according to Ventura County Sheriff’s Office records.
According to 911 dispatch audio obtained by Us, Spears’ Black BMW was allegedly driving “in and out of lanes,” and “speeding,” according to the operator. The operator also noted that the vehicle was seen erratically “braking, swerving and driving with no taillight.” Officers could be heard following the video before pulling it over.
Following a reported hospital visit to test her blood alcohol content, she was booked on Thursday, March 5, at 3:02 a.m. and released at 6:07 a.m.
Chemical test results are pending. This incident is still under investigation. Spears is due in court on Monday, May 4, according to online records.
“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” Spears’ rep told Us on Thursday. “Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time. Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue, needed plan to set her up for success for well-being.”

Meghan Markle’s Brand Faces ‘Strategic Issue,’ PR Expert Warns
A PR expert has warned that Meghan Markle‘s lifestyle brand As Ever may face issues despite growing website traffic.
While visits rose by 36% between October and January, experts claim online interest alone does not guarantee long-term success, stressing the importance of sales conversions, repeat customers, and clear product planning.
Experts have also suggested that the Meghan Markle brand needs a stronger structure and alignment with her husband, Prince Harry‘s, public image.

PR Specialist Flags ‘Strategic Issue’ For Meghan Markle’s As Ever Brand Amid Website Growth

A public relations expert has weighed in on the progress of As Ever, warning that the venture may face a significant “strategic issue” despite signs of growing online interest.
The lifestyle brand, launched by the Duchess of Sussex in April 2025, has released several product collections since its debut and has gradually expanded its online presence.
Recent data suggests that traffic to the brand’s website has been increasing. According to analytics from SimilarWeb reported by Newsweek, the site recorded around 196,800 visits in October before climbing to roughly 268,200 by January. The rise appeared steady over the months in between, with December bringing in about 246,000 visits.

However, while those numbers indicate “solid growth,” PR and branding specialist Renae Smith cautioned that growing website traffic does not necessarily translate into long-term business success.
Speaking to the Daily Express, Smith said that a 36 percent increase in visits is a promising sign for a relatively young brand that does not operate through traditional retail channels.

Expert Says The Duchess’s Brand Needs’ Rhythm’ To Become A Serious Lifestyle Brand

Smith emphasized that visitor numbers alone are not the most meaningful metric.
According to the expert, factors such as how many visitors actually purchase products, whether customers return for additional orders, and how inventory is managed will ultimately determine the brand’s sustainability.
“We’ve seen items sell out in minutes, including the recent bookmark that reportedly went in under a minute. That can mean high demand, but it can also mean extremely limited stock,” Smith said. “Without context, a one-minute sellout is just a headline.”

From a branding perspective, she explained that scarcity can sometimes be used intentionally to create excitement around a product launch. But if shortages happen repeatedly, it can begin to look less like a marketing strategy and more like a logistical challenge.
Smith also suggested that the brand still needs a clearer structure to develop into a fully established lifestyle label.
She pointed out that a successful and “serious lifestyle brand needs rhythm,” including scheduled product launches, consistent engagement with their audience, and a well-defined identity.
“Right now, it still feels reactive rather than disciplined,” the expert noted.

PR Expert Warns Meghan Markle’s As Ever Brand Must Align With Prince Harry’s Global Image

Another potential challenge, Smith added, could be the broader narrative surrounding Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry.
“If Harry is doing humanitarian travel and Meghan is scaling a commercial lifestyle brand, those two narratives need to feel complementary, not parallel,” she said.
Despite those observations, sources close to the brand say its team is pleased with how things are developing so far.
According to the Daily Express, those involved with As Ever view the growth as encouraging and believe the brand still has significant room to expand.
The Duchess Of Sussex Is Committed To Building Her Lifestyle Brand

Insiders say Meghan remains committed to refining the business as it evolves, learning from early challenges while continuing to build momentum.
The brand’s team also believes the steady increase in interest reflects genuine engagement from its audience.
A source connected to As Ever told the news outlet that while the brand is still in its early stages, its trajectory so far has been encouraging.
They added that the focus remains on building the business carefully and sustainably while continuing to listen to the community that has supported it.

Meghan Markle’s As Ever Products Reportedly Given Away To Netflix Staff At Los Angeles Offices

Meanwhile, last month, reports suggest the As Ever products have also been circulating within the offices of Netflix in Los Angeles.
According to Page Six, staff at the streaming company were able to take home items from the As Ever range that were stored at the company’s headquarters.
One source claimed that two storage rooms at the campus were filled with products from the brand, adding that employees had been allowed to take items home.
“They’re literally just giving it away to employees,” the source said, alleging that one staff member left with around ten products.
Items reportedly kept at the offices include jars of jam, candles, wine, and Meghan’s well-known flower-petal sprinkles.

The products were said to be stored in rooms located in the Icon Tower and Epic buildings on Netflix’s Hollywood campus. “There’s so much overstock,” confirmed a second source.
However, it is understood that the brand’s main inventory had already been moved to a separate warehouse some time ago.
According to the report, the remaining items at the Netflix offices are intended primarily for gifting, sampling, and promotional purposes, which is why employees have been able to take some products home.

Days of our Lives: Lexie Resurrected from the Dead – Major Consequences Coming for Salem!
Days of Our Lives confirms Lexie Carver is the woman in the person pod, as we suspected. And they have recast the role. It was Renee Jones that played the role but they’ve dialed back Lexie’s age by 15 years. Now, she’s just 8 years older than her brother EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel).
And when Lexie turns up alive, there’s going to be epic fallout that affects all of Salem. We’re going to dive into when Lexie wakes up and what soapy drama comes in the fallout of this huge move EJ and Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) made with Gwen Rizczech’s (Emily O’Brien) help.
Days of our Lives: Lexie Carver Resurrected
We suspected all along that EJ and Dr. Rolf’s mystery lady was going to be none other than the DiMeras’ presumed dead sister, Lexie Carver. Who is of course, wife and soulmate of Abe Carver (James Reynolds). And mom to Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson).
Ok, so recently, Rolf and EJ revealed the woman in the tube to Gwen and she predicted bringing Lexie back would turn many lives upside down. But EJ said it’ll be in wonderful ways. But not wonderful for everyone. Especially not Paulina Price (Jackée Harry), who’s a major thorn in EJ’s side.
So, we’ll see Lexie’s face soon when they finally show fans who’s in the person pod. And then she’ll wake soon, about 14 years after she died of an inoperable brain tumor. Despite how much hate he gets from other DiMeras, you may recall EJ was one of the few DiMeras Lexie trusted.
EJ’s Love for Lexie on DOOL
EJ helped Lexie fulfill her bucket list when she learned there was no hope for surviving her brain tumor. EJ always felt guilty about the DiMera tunnel toxins causing her death. So, it’s no surprise that EJ has Rolf resurrecting his favorite sister.
Dr. Rolf said Lexie should be waking up any time now. She’s back to the land of the living and her brain function is good. They just need her to open her eyes. This week, EJ’s spending time with his sleeping sister, tenderly touching her head. And he introduces someone to Lexie.
That’s the first place to start with the epic fallout ahead from this wild thing that EJ, Rolf and Gwen have done—this life giving miracle. A perfected resurrection serum that hopefully avoids all the side effects of some of the prior versions Rolf developed.
Paulina Price’s Marriage to Abe in Jeopardy on Days
So first, let’s talk about negative consequences to Lexie’s resurrection. Primarily this will hit Abe’s current wife, Paulina. By the end of this week or early next week, I suspect EJ shows a stunned Paulina who he’s got in the person pod.
She knows Lexie’s resurrection will likely end her marriage to Abe. How could it not? Right now, he’s happy with the life he has with Paulina and their blended family of Lani Price (Sal Stowers), Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens), and Theo. But Lexie and Abe were soulmates, madly in love at the time of her death.
For Abe, it’s been 14 years. For Lexie, it’ll feel like 14 minutes. She’d expect Abe to be with her. And I bet Lexie will fight for her man. But Paulina has to know this is bad for her marriage. And if she tells Abe that EJ resurrected Lexie to ruin their marriage, I’m not sure Abe will care.
Or he might not like Paulina making this about herself. Bottom line is EJ’s resurrecting Lexie because he loves her. But EJ will also enjoy hurting Paulina because she’s been a pain in his backside for a long time and gets to see his son and grandson when EJ’s banned.
Abe Carver Torn Between Two Loves on Days of Our Lives
As for the fallout on Abe’s life, it’ll be super complicated—a mixed blessing type of situation. He’s happily married to Paulina, but Abe’s been a bit upset with her because she encouraged Theo to pursue being CEO of DiMera Enterprises.
Abe knows Lexie wouldn’t have wanted Theo to work for her father’s company but Paulina wasn’t swayed by that. Bringing Lexie back to life is part of EJ’s elaborate plan to oust Theo from DiMera and try to keep his own son, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), around to run the show as CEO.
While Lexie might also want Theo out at DiMera, I’m not sure how she’ll feel about EJ and Abe conspiring. But then again, she may not mind if it keeps Theo safe on Days of our Lives. I expect to see Abe torn because he loves Paulina but he’d still be with Lexie if she hadn’t died. This’ll be hard on Abe.
Theo Carver Gets His Mom Back
And of course, huge fallout’s coming from Theo. He was just nine years old when his mom Lexie died. And while he really likes working for Stefano DiMera’s (Joe Mascolo) company and representing the DiMeras, Theo might quit if Lexie asked him to.
Since Theo almost died because of his uncle, Peter Blake (Dan Gauthier), he may decide to treasure his time with his resurrected mom and if Lexie wants him out at DiMera, Theo might walk away. And I’m sure Lexie’s going to be impressed with how Theo’s dealt with his autism and other struggles.

EJ’s Motives Will Be Questioned on DOOL
Now, let’s talk about the mastermind of all this—EJ orchestrated this research and resurrection to bring his sister Lexie back to life. But EJ can’t know how Lexie will react to being resurrected. I’m sure she’ll be glad for more time with Theo and Abe.
But Lexie also won’t like being a pawn in a DiMera power play. So, while I’m sure EJ presents this as him wanting to have his favorite sister back and wanted her to have a life with her son, Lexie will probably sniff out that EJ has other motives, some of them nefarious.
The Carver-Price Family Overwhelmed on Days of Our Lives
Finally, the entire Carver-Price household is going to be overwhelmed. Lani and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) are moving back to Salem soon, probably ASAP once they find out Lexie is alive. Lani loves both of her parents. But knows how much Abe grieved Lexie until he fell for Paulina.
Plus, Chanel’s in a high-risk pregnancy and wants her and Johnny to have nothing to do with EJ. And even though Chanel may be thrilled for Theo, I’m sure she will tell Johnny that EJ orchestrated all this to target her mom Paulina.
I can’t wait until we see Lexie open her eyes and begin her second chance at life in Salem! Hopefully she’s got no amnesia and it’ll be like she nodded off to sleep then woke back up, ready to resume her life. Which is going to cause ripple effects in many other lives. It starts soon!

Timothée Chalamet’s Comment About Ballet Causes Outrage
Timothée Chalamet has unexpectedly found himself at the center of a heated cultural debate.
The Hollywood star sparked backlash after making remarks about ballet and opera during a public conversation about modern audiences.
What began as a discussion about shrinking attention spans quickly ignited strong reactions from artists, critics, and fans who accused the actor of dismissing centuries-old art forms.

Timothée Chalamet Comments During Industry Conversation
The controversy traces back to a February discussion between Timothée Chalamet and fellow actor Matthew McConaughey for Variety. During the conversation, the pair explored how modern entertainment competes with increasingly short attention spans.
McConaughey raised the issue first, asking, “In this day of shorter attention spans, vertical 12-second spots, are we losing attention?”
He pointed out that studios sometimes restructure movies to get to dramatic conflict faster, suggesting that audiences may struggle with slower storytelling.
Chalamet responded by noting that there is still strong demand for slower-paced cinema among younger viewers. However, he also reflected on how filmmakers often feel pressure to convince audiences to support certain types of projects.

“It does take you having to wave a flag of, ‘Hey, this is a serious movie,’ or something, and some people do want to be entertained and quickly,” he said.
He added that he feels conflicted about the idea of campaigning for audiences to support certain genres.
Chalamet said, “I’m really right in the middle, Matthew. I admire people, and I’ve done it myself, who go on a talk show and say, ‘Hey, we’ve got to keep movie theaters alive, we’ve gotta keep this genre alive,’ and another part of me feels like if people want to see it, like Barbie, like Oppenheimer, they’re going to go see it and go out of their way to be loud and proud about it.”

Timothée Chalamet’s Opera And Ballet Comment Draws Criticism

The backlash erupted after Chalamet referenced classical performance arts as part of his explanation.
“I don’t want to be working in ballet or opera where it’s like, ‘Hey! Keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore.’”
He quickly tried to soften the remark, laughing as he added, “All respect to the ballet and opera people out there. I just lost 14 cents in viewership. I’m taking shots for no reason.”
Once the clip circulated online, performers from the opera and ballet world began responding publicly. Many felt the comment dismissed art forms that have endured for centuries and require intense discipline.
The Independent reported that opera singer Isabel Leonard was among the first to respond, sharing a lengthy critique.
Article continues below advertisement
She wrote, “Honestly, I’m shocked that someone so seemingly successful can be so ineloquent and narrow-minded in his views about art while considering himself as artist as I would only imagine one would as an actor.”
She continued by arguing that artists should support one another rather than undermine different forms of creative expression.
Leonard added, “To take cheap shots at fellow artists says more in this interview than anything else he could say. Shows a lot about his character. You don’t have to like all art, but only a weak person/artist feels the need to diminish; in fact, the VERY arts that would inspire those who are interested in slowing down, to do exactly that.”

Artists Defend Classical Art Forms

Other members of the classical arts community also voiced their disappointment.
Canadian mezzo-soprano Deepa Johnny described Chalamet’s remarks as a “disappointing take,” stressing that artists across disciplines should work together to strengthen the arts rather than undermine them.
Visual artist Franz Szony went even further in criticizing the actor’s comments.
He said, “Two classical art forms that have been around for hundreds of years, both of which take a massive amount of talent and discipline, this man will never possess.”
He added, “Speaks volumes about his taste level for him to say this… also, saying ‘no disrespect’ after saying something disrespectful actually translates to ‘I disrespect art I don’t understand.’”
Members of the ballet world also stepped in to defend their craft. Choreographer Martin Chaix insisted the art form remains vibrant and culturally significant.
He said, “If anything, in a world where AI is reshaping cinema faster than most realise, the unmediated human presence of ballet and opera becomes more essential, not less. I hope he finds his way into a theatre.”

Timothée Chalamet Debate Highlights Cultural Influence Of Opera And Ballet

Cultural institutions also weighed in on the broader conversation.
A spokesperson for the Royal Ballet and Opera emphasized that classical performance traditions have long influenced modern entertainment, including cinema.
“Ballet and opera have never existed in isolation – they have continually informed, inspired, and elevated other art forms,” the spokesperson said.
They added that the impact of these disciplines extends across numerous creative industries.
The statement concluded, “Their influence can be felt across theatre, film, contemporary music, fashion, and beyond. For centuries, these disciplines have shaped the way artists create, and audiences experience culture, and today millions of people around the world continue to enjoy and engage with them.”
Fans Join The Timothée Chalamet Backlash Online

The debate also spilled onto social media platforms, where fans expressed a wide range of opinions about the actor’s comments.
On Reddit, one frustrated user wrote, “He’s such a little twerp, he really lacks any self-awareness, and his ego is out of control. What kind of artist looks down on other art forms? Especially ones that require extensive training and dedication like ballet and the opera? With the way AI is going, he’s more likely to be out of a job before them! Ugh, I can’t stand him.”
Others defended the endurance of classical arts regardless of celebrity criticism. One commenter noted, “Ballet and opera outlived empires. I think they’ll survive this take.”
Article continues below advertisement
Another user pointed out a personal connection to the art form, reminding readers that Chalamet’s “mom and sister were ballet dancers…”
Meanwhile, a fourth critic wrote, “My opinion of this dude dropped SO quickly the last year or so. I went from not really caring about him, but thinking he was pretty okay, to getting annoyed every time I see his face. He seems very egotistical, shallow, and entitled.”
As the online debate continues, the moment has sparked a wider conversation about the place of classical arts in modern culture and the responsibility artists have when discussing the creative work of others.

Aaron Rodgers Mysterious Marriage Slammed As ‘Bizarre’ By Ex-NFL Player
Aaron Rodgers‘ wife remains a mystery, and while the quarterback appears unbothered by the secrecy, a former player has described the situation as bizarre.
The marriage first became public when Rodgers was spotted wearing a wedding band during a training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers last year. Although his wife’s name, Brittani, is known, as Rodgers has mentioned her a few times in interviews, the quarterback has yet to make any public appearances with her.
Aaron Rodgers has also not shared any photos of her or images from their private wedding, previously explaining that she prefers to live a quiet and private life.

The Former NFL Player Responded To Aaron Rodgers’ Criticism About The Attention On His Mysterious Wife

Earlier in the week, Aaron Rodgers appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” and took a swipe at those trying to uncover the identity of his mystery wife, Brittani.
The quarterback described the “obsession” as “f-cking bizarre,” explaining that his wife prefers to live a private life, a point he has also made in previous interviews.
However, his remarks this time sparked backlash from former National Football League player Emmanuel Acho, who addressed the situation while appearing on the “Speakeasy” podcast, per Sportsnet Pittsburgh.
Article continues below advertisement
“You are a public figure. When you are a public figure, people care about who you are in a relationship with,” Acho said about the veteran quarterback. “Rodgers, why you act like people trying to figure out your mystery wife is bizarre? Your behavior with this mystery person is bizarre.”
He added, “The only thing that’s actually bizarre, Aaron Rodgers, is that you randomly got married to some random person and are randomly keeping it the most random secret. That’s what’s bizarre. We’re not the crazy people, Aaron Rodgers. You are the one that’s behaving out of the norm.”

The NFL Star’s Close Circle Has Yet To Meet His Mystery Wife

Interestingly, McAfee, whose show Rodgers appeared on, and who is reportedly close friends with the player, has yet to meet Brittani.
“I have not,” McAfee told the outlet after he was asked if he had met Rodgers’ wife. “But I am, once again, happy for him… and if I get a chance to meet her, that’ll obviously be cool.”
Fox Sports reporter Jen Hale, who also claimed to have a close relationship with Rodgers, also admitted to not having met the mysterious wife back in January.

“I’ve never met her. I don’t know her,” Hale said of Brittani. “Aaron has become a friend over the years, so I wish him the very best. I think he’s happy. And that’s all you want for your people — you want them to find their comfort zone and their happiness.”

Aaron Rodgers Described His Mystery Wife As ‘Incredible’

Despite keeping his wife’s identity private, Rodgers has not been shy about expressing his love for her.
In a July 2025 interview, he heaped praise on Brittani, pointing to the positive impact she has had on his life since they first met.
“When you meet the right one, and you’re with the right one, your whole world changes in a second. And to have that person that unconditionally loves you behind the scenes, there’s no better feeling in the world, and I have the most incredible wife,” Rodgers said in an interview at Steelers training camp.
Aaron Rodgers Said ‘Brittani’ Has Been His ‘Rock’

Praising his private wife further, Rodgers called Brittani his “rock” and thanked his lucky stars that he has her in his life.
“I just really love her, and I’m so thankful to have her by my side at the end,” the football star said about his mysterious spouse.
He continued, “When you have that stability and that rock behind you at the house, you feel like you can do anything.”

The Quarterback Said There’s No New Contract From The Steelers Yet

With free agency set to officially open on March 11, speculation has once again surfaced about what the next step in Rodgers’ career will be.
The veteran quarterback previously signed a one-year, $13.65 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers and could either secure a contract extension, move to another team, or decide to hang up his cleats.
In the meantime, Rodgers has claimed that he has not received any offers from the Steelers.
“There’s no contract offer or anything, so there’s nothing that I’m having to debate between. I’m a free agent. I’m enjoying my time with my wife and enjoying this part of the offseason,” Rodgers said, per the New York Post. “I think there’s conversations to be had down the line, but right now there hasn’t been any progressive conversations.”

General Hospital: Ethan Lovett Returns to Port Charles – Looking for Love or Seeking Revenge?
General Hospital reveals Nathan Dean is coming back to GH as Ethan Lovett after a six-year absence and we’re so excited to see him return.
We’re going to talk about what could be bringing Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) and Holly Sutton’s (Emma Samms) son back to Port Charles. Plus, it’s cool they got the original actor back in the role.
OG Ethan Lovett Returns to General Hospital!
Ok so, first off, I just want to mention when I saw this news, I was like who the heck is Nathan Dean—because when he was last on GH and when he was on The Originals and Roswell, New Mexico, he went by the name Nathan Parsons.
His full name is Nathan Dean Parsons by the way. The character was briefly recast once in 2023. But now the OG Ethan is back and this should be exciting. Nathan’s return is in April and although we don’t have his first airdate yet, May sweeps kicks off April 23rd.
With General Hospital‘s bloated cast, I’d be surprised if Ethan was coming back to stay. Plus Frank Valentini said Nathan Dean’s back “for a story” so he may be doing a limited arc for this particular story and we’ve got some ideas on why he’s coming back.
He could be back for a tragedy or a hot romantic pairing and maybe a little mystery. Let’s get right to it!
Ethan Returns to GH for Robert Scorpio’s Funeral
So first, there’s a chance that Holly’s son might be back for Robert Scorpio’s offscreen death and funeral. Sadly, Tristan Rogers passed away in August 2025 and his character Robert’s death will be coming in the next few months. It’ll obviously be offscreen.
So, Ethan could come back on his mom Holly’s arm to escort her to Robert’s funeral. Or if for some reason Emma Samms can’t be back to film funeral scenes, they could use Ethan as her representative.
If you recall, Holly first claimed Robert was Ethan’s father before admitting that he’s Luke’s son. So, I think Ethan would definitely want to be there to support Holly as she grieves Robert. So, that’s a perfect reason for Ethan to return to Port Charles.
Ethan & Kristina Corinthos Reunion Romance Ahead?
Second, if Ethan is coming back for romance, the question is who might he be paired with. Most of his past love interests aren’t on General Hospital anymore, but one is. One that Ethan’s got a contentious past with.
That’s Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi). She had a major crush on Ethan back in her late teens but then she did him dirty. When her abusive boyfriend Kiefer beat Kristina severely, Ethan actually took her to the hospital. But then Kristina lied and said Ethan assaulted her.
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) threatened to kill Ethan and he was arrested and made into a town pariah. Kristina later apologized and Ethan forgave her even though she nearly ruined his life. That happened 16 years ago.
And we know Kristina hasn’t had a romance in quite some time. And while her last couple of romances were with women, she’s sexually fluid and also dates men, so Ethan’s a possibility, especially because of their twisted history.
Ethan’s Cassadine Connections and Potential Intrigue on General Hospital
Ok the next reason Ethan may come back is that he has ties to the Cassadine family because Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) kidnapped him a few years back and put him up for sale at an auction where the winner would get to kill him. Thankfully Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) bought him and he was saved.
Plus he had a thing with Helena Cassadine’s daughter, Irina Cassadine AKA the woman in white (Alyshia Ochse). So, Ethan could wind up involved with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) or Cesar Faison’s (Anders Hove) final project on cold fusion.
Although, I don’t think Ethan would be involved with Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), the WSB, or Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). But Ethan is known to get into trouble quite often so you never know, it is a possibility he could be involved in something shady. But since the Marco-Sidwell-Cullum stuff is supposed to wrap in May, the timing aligns.


Ethan Reunites with Sister Lulu and Grieves Luke Spencer
Another reason they may bring back Ethan is for him to see his sister Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) and to also grieve the loss of his dad, Luke, with her, Tracy, and others. Although we just had a tribute episode for Anthony Geary who passed in December 2025, I’m sure Ethan will discuss his grief once he’s back.
Also, our GH leaker recently mentioned that Frank Valentini wanted Jonathan Jackson to come back as Lucky Spencer, but he declined to return for anything more than a very short stint, because he doesn’t want to be too far from his home and family in Nashville for too long.
So, GH might have decided to bring Ethan back to do whatever storyline they had in mind for Lucky. That way, Lulu at least has one of her brothers there to support her. She’ll be thrilled to see Ethan, and he and Lulu will have a lot to catch him up on.
GH Shocker: Ethan Teams Up with Josslyn to Take Down Sonny?
The final possibility is that Ethan may end up plotting with Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) to take down Sonny. This week, Josslyn raged at Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) and claimed that she joined the WSB because she wants to take down Sonny and everyone like him once and for all.
If you recall, Josslyn mentioned taking down Sonny when she first signed up with the WSB. But then GH hasn’t circled back around to it. But Ethan definitely could be holding a grudge since Sonny was going to kill Ethan back in the day because of Kristina’s false accusation.
It’s understandable since Sonny thought Ethan had beaten Kristina. But Ethan was arrested and Sonny could’ve let the justice system do its job. Instead, he almost had Ethan killed. And he and Josslyn are cousins so I’m sure they’ll cross paths because they’re family.
While Ethan might come back to Port Charles for a different reason, he could wind up conspiring with Josslyn if they figure out they both have taking down Sonny in common. But no matter why Ethan’s back, I can’t wait to see what GH has in store for him!

Star Wars Actor’s Brutal Netflix Thriller Perfectly Recreates Real-Life Sting Operation
By Robert Scucci
| Published

Studies suggest that in most cases, a child is abducted by someone they know, like a parent in the middle of a rancorous custody battle who just wants to see their kid. 2022’s The Stranger, on the other hand, tells a far more sinister story, resulting in a sting operation designed to take down a suspected child killer by forcing him to confess when he finally lets his guard down.
Inspired by the real-life murder of Australian child Daniel Morcombe, The Stranger is ultimately a work of fiction that uses real events to drive its narrative. It’s worth noting, however, that the real family who suffered the loss of their son wanted nothing to do with the movie, so names have obviously been changed, and the granular details tied to the true crime story were modified for the sake of respecting their wishes.
How Deep Does It Go?

The Stranger takes its time setting up the conflict, as we first see events from Henry Peter Teague’s (Sean Harris) perspective. A seemingly broke loner riding the bus, he encounters a man named Paul Emery (Steve Mouzakis), who offers him low-level work for a criminal organization. This encounter eventually leads Henry to Mark Frame (Joel Edgerton), an undercover officer who has been building a case against him for years with the help of Detective Senior Constable Kate Rylett (Jada Alberts).
Mark Frame is the true protagonist in The Stranger, and we see the toll the investigation takes on him. Authorities are certain Henry is responsible for the disappearance and likely death of a young boy years earlier, but he had a solid alibi when he was initially questioned. To make matters worse, there is no physical evidence linking him to the crime. Having a young boy (Cormac Wright) around the same age as the missing child, Mark has a personal stake in the investigation, which is essentially built around a Mr. Big procedure.

For those of you not up to speed on your true crime lingo, a Mr. Big procedure is a tactic used to coax a confession out of a suspected criminal by pretending to be part of a criminal organization yourself, and slowly gaining their trust over time.
With the stakes made crystal clear, The Stranger becomes a brooding exercise not in figuring out who made the child disappear, but in proving that one specific person was responsible. Henry is understandably guarded whenever anybody pries about his past, but he’s also eager to find gainful employment, something that has eluded him ever since he was convicted for an unrelated violent altercation years earlier. The supposed criminal organization recruiting him is simply biding its time until he fully lets his guard down, often reassuring him that if he ever gets into trouble, they will take care of it.
Not A Whodunit, But A “How Do We Get Him?”

As The Stranger moves into its second and third acts, you can see the mental toll the case is taking on every officer involved in the sting operation. They know they have the right guy, but they have no evidence. They have nothing to work with aside from old traffic cameras, appointment sign-in sheets, anecdotes from bystanders in the area, and witness testimonials. They know Henry committed the crime, but if he’s not absolutely dead to rights when they bring him in, he walks. Mark knows this, and so does Kate Rylett.
The tension comes from knowing what they know and watching them bide their time until they finally have enough evidence to lock Henry Peter Teague up for good. The problem is that everybody is at their wits’ end after spending years on the case trying to bring the right man to justice. Everybody has a trigger finger and wants to use it. Everybody wants to heroically slap cuffs on the man who they believe, without a sliver of doubt, is the guilty party, but they need to exercise restraint if they want the operation to succeed.


One of the finest examples of how a slow-burn crime thriller can push you to your breaking point, The Stranger is currently available to stream on Netflix.
