Young and the Restless reveals Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) is at it again making a terrible choice that’s going to blow up in her face and this time, it could blow up her entire life. And of course, it’s all about Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) who for Audra, seems to be the one who got away.

We’re going to talk about how she’s going after Kyle again because she can’t back down from a challenge and it could cost Audra absolutely everything.

Young and the Restless: Holden Won’t Back Down

So recently, we saw Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) trying to get Audra to agree to seduce Kyle. That’s because Holden doesn’t want Kyle to reconcile with Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin). And that’s because Holden wants Claire for himself. Holden’s absolutely smitten and isn’t going to give up on Claire for even a moment.

But it isn’t Kyle who’s coming between Claire and Holden. We know that Claire still has feelings for Kyle. And probably still loves him and she tapped the brakes with Holden because he wouldn’t tell her the whole truth about him, Audra, and that gallery owner in LA.

Claire Breaks Things Off with Holden on Y&R

But to be fair, it’s really not Claire’s business—she just wanted to destroy Audra out of spite. What’s wild to me is that Claire’s mad at Audra for her scheme to seduce Kyle that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) was paying Audra to do. But Claire’s not mad at Victor—whose idea it was and paid Audra to do it.

Claire only seems to have issues with non-Newmans being dishonest. Since Holden wouldn’t spill tea on Audra, we saw Claire broke things off with Holden. I’m sure her feelings for Kyle played a role. But I think Claire’s just salty because she didn’t get the dirt to destroy Audra.

Then, Kyle encouraged Claire to let her vendetta against Audra go. And Claire finally said she would let the thing with Audra go because Claire felt like she was becoming her crazy aunt Jordan Howard (Colleen Zenk) by being so bent on revenge.

That was a good call on Claire’s part and it’s probably a good thing she dropped her revenge plot on Audra. If not for Holden interfering and pushing Audra to go after Claire again, this whole feud could’ve just died.

Young and the Restless: Holden Convinces Audra to Seduce Kyle

But I think pretty soon Claire’s going to resume her vendetta because Audra’s going to once again target Kyle for seduction. But this time, it’s with Holden pushing Audra to do it instead of Victor. Official Y&R spoilers say the truth about what Holden and Audra did will come out soon.

And the spoiler said the fallout for Holden and Audra is going to be huge. And I think those two bring it on themselves. So, when Holden first suggested to Audra that they end Claire and Kyle’s connection for good, she wanted no part of it.

Audra said she didn’t want to set Claire off after she nearly choked her out a few months back. Audra also claimed she wanted nothing to do with Kyle because he’s a “walking ego” and Audra said Kyle makes her skin crawl.

But Holden said now that Audra has a great job, he thinks she needs a new mission and Holden suggested Audra should get revenge on Kyle. And to be fair, Audra pushed back on Holden because she doesn’t want to risk her new partnership with Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope)—especially not for Kyle.

Young and the Restless: Holden Determined to Win Claire Back

Holden didn’t let up and kept pushing Audra saying he knows she can make Kyle come crawling back and that would make her the winner. Holden also said Audra would be untouchable with an Abbott by her side if she decided to keep Kyle.

Audra was confident that she could make Kyle beg to be with her. But Audra claimed to have neither the time or interest. But then, Kyle came into Society and glared at Audra, and Holden told Audra that she and Kyle belong together and then Holden asked Audra to help them get what they both want.

Which is Holden to get Claire and Audra to get Kyle. At that point, Holden had finally convinced Audra and she was on board to go after Kyle and seduce him to be her guy. But honestly, this is really not a smart move on Audra’s part.

Audra Hasn’t Learned Her Lesson on Young and the Restless

You’d think she would’ve learned after the last time she schemed with Victor to seduce Kyle on Young and the Restless. Because that blew up in Audra’s face and she lost Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic). You would really think Audra would have learned her lesson after that. But apparently not.

Claire decided to drop her revenge plot on Audra. But then, Holden got all jealous about Kyle and got Audra all worked up, making it a challenge. So, when Audra goes after Kyle, of course, that’ll send Claire into a rage and then she’ll start digging again.

And then I’m sure she’ll find out about the dead art guy and what Audra and Holden did. Plus, Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) is in town now. And since Holden accidentally killed the guy at the Shadow Room, Sienna may have some info she’s been holding back that she could give to Claire.

Especially since Sienna’s now in tight with the Newmans. So, Holden may have just shot himself in the foot because everything he wanted to stay hidden is gonna come out. As I mentioned before, official Y&R spoilers say Audra and Holden’s secret is exposed and the fallout’s massive.

Young and the Restless: Audra’s Scheme Could Cost Her Everything

This is all so needless since things are finally going great for Audra. And Holden pushed her buttons and basically convinced Audra to self-sabotage. I think seducing Kyle as a power play could wind up costing Audra her fancy new job since Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) is the financial backer.

And Sally might take a step back from Audra for her doing this awful scheme. Plus, when Claire exposes the truth, Audra and Holden could both land in legal trouble or be run out of town. And if there’s possible criminal charges, Sally would have no choice but to fire her bestie.

Remember when Audra said that she didn’t want Holden back in her life because he’s an extreme risk taker? We’ve not seen that side of him. But we’re about to and I think Audra letting Holden get close again is going to wreck her life.

It’s hard for a series to stick the landing and provide a final episode that gives fans resolution while wrapping up years of stories and characterization. Star Trek: The Next Generation pulled it off, Scrubs did (before the last-minute renewal), Mad Men is another good one, but far removed from that list is one of the 90’s breakout shows, Xena: Warrior Princess. The final two episodes, “A Friend in Need, Part One” and “Part Two” are so bad that even Lucy Lawless refuses to acknowledge they exist. 

The Death Of Xena

“A Friend in Need” takes Xena from the confines of Greece and sends her off to Japan, where she attempts to make up for the darkest act she ever performed: killing 40,000 people when she started a fire, out of anger, that burned down an entire village. If you don’t remember when that happened, don’t worry, it was never mentioned during the entire six-season run of Xena: Warrior Princess until, at the last moment, it became the most horrible, most heinous act she committed. It’s the equivalent of a sitcom spending years building up to meeting one character, for the sake of argument, say a mother, and then in the last episodes revealing that nothing mattered. 

Xena and Gabrielle (Renee O’Connor) journey to Mt. Fuji, ready to face down an army under the control of Lord Yodoshi, the Samurai Lord killed by his daughter and Xena’s lover, Akemi, one of the most important people in the Amazon warrior’s life who again, we’re meeting now, in flashback, and then in the Underworld, in the series finale. In order for Yodoshi to be truly defeated Xena must die and fight him in the Underworld. That would be all well and good because the repentant hero gives up her life to set free 40,000 souls she unknowingly condemned, except for one thing: Xena chooses to stay dead. 

Gabrielle picking up the blood-soaked chakram and successfully using it in battle is an amazing moment. Xena cutting Lord Yodoshi is immensely satisfying. The problem is that after Xena says in the first episode that Gabrielle is the most important person in her life, and we see flashbacks to past episodes, including “One Against An Army,” the two are denied the happy ending they, and the fans, deserved. Gabrielle has to take down Xena’s mutilated, headless body from where the Samurai put it on display, and then has to endure Xena choosing to stay dead for the sake of the lost souls.   

Xena’s Massive Fandom Deserved Better

In spite of the horrendous ending, tens of thousands of fans still flock to annual conventions, Xena becomes a hit on every streaming platform lucky enough to host it, and the story lives on through multiple comic books, novels, and fanfiction epics. Lucy Lawless has explained over the years that at the time, the cast and crew thought it was a cool, crazy way to kill off a character, but seeing the way fans reacted broke her heart. 

Xena: Warrior Princess started out as a spin-off of Kevin Sorbo’s Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, but the rabid fanbase it attracted primarily for the relationship between Xena and Gabrielle has caused it to outlive the original series for decades. To turn around in the series finale and not only deny them a happy ending but to brutally murder Xena in the process, then choose people the audience never met over Gabrielle, is twisting the knife. There’s a reason real fans stop rewatches with “Many Happy Returns.” Stopping there means that Xena is still alive with countless adventures ahead of her. That’s how she should be remembered. 

Social media users are sharing mixed opinions after Eva Giselle Jordan showed off the dress her mom, Mimi Faust, made her wear to her eighth-grade dance.

Eva Giselle Jordan Shows Off The Dress Her Mom Mimi Faust Made Her Wear To Her Eighth-Grade Dance

Earlier this week, Mimi Faust took to her Instagram account to share a reel with her more than 4.4 million followers. In the clip, Faust appeared alongside her daughter, Eva Giselle Jordan, and her friend, Ty. Furthermore, Jordan told viewers that in eighth grade, she attended a sneaker ball. From there, she paused and referred to her mom.

“She thinks I’m 10 still,” Jordan said, placing her phone in the camera’s view to show a picture of her at the event, dressed in a long, black maxi gown.

Furthermore, as Jordan showed the picture, Faust remarked on how “cute” the dress was. However, Jordan and Ty vehemently disagreed.

“So she was supposed to have a dress with her thighs and ass and titties out? What was she supposed to wear? I think that was very cute,” Faust added.

Ultimately, Ty said Jordan looked like an “old maid,” while Jordan remarked that she’s “scared” for this year’s dance. Nonetheless, Faust reiterated that she doesn’t want her daughter looking like a “thot,” though Jordan tried to point out that she lacks an “in between” preference.

Peep the clip below.

Social Media Shares Mixed Opinions About The Dress For Her Eighth-Grade Dance

Social media users shared mixed opinions about the dress Eva Giselle Jordan donned for her eighth-grade dinner in TSR’s comments. Some agreed with Mimi Faust’s choice, while others didn’t see the vision.

Days of Our Lives saw Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) apologized to Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) for thinking he was her stalker. Once she saw Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey), then Stephanie was horrified she ever suspected Jeremy. So, will Stephanie also forgive him for his past abuse, too?

As of now, Jeremy and Stephanie remain in captivity and at Owen’s mercy. And Stephanie and Jeremy are all they have right now. So, will this trauma bonding lead to a truce or even a reunion?

Days of our Lives: Jeremy Wrongly Accused

So, for months now, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson), Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols), Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans), Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) and Stephanie all thought Jeremy was the stalker and now blame him for the kidnapping. Based on faked evidence. Stephanie decided he was a villain and a liar from the moment she saw he was back.

But despite all the accusations he faced, Jeremy still showed up to try and rescue Stephanie last week instead of just leaving town. Jeremy followed Owen, with no idea who he was, to locate Stephanie.

Stephanie Realizes Jeremy Was Framed

But, before Jeremy could safely get Stephanie out of the storage room, Owen showed up. And that’s when Stephanie freaked out and finally realized all her assumptions were wrong. Later, Jeremy learned from Stephanie who Owen is and why she’s terrified.

Jeremy told Stephanie that he recognized him because Owen posed as a school janitor and had a strange interaction with Jeremy before the creep left Stephanie’s cell phone for someone to find. And it was Thomas DiMera (Cary Christopher) who found her cell and turned it into Jeremy at the school.

That’s when he realized something was very wrong, especially when Jeremy started hearing sirens approaching North Salem Elementary. He figured out he was being set up, so Jeremy snuck out a bathroom window and saw Owen then tracked him to the hospital’s secret lab.

But because of Stephanie’s assumptions and Owen’s frame job, Jeremy couldn’t convince her to run before Owen came back. And so now, Stephanie and Jeremy are both handcuffed to chairs, hoping and praying someone in the lab next door would hear their cries for help.

In fact, this week, Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) makes a surprising discovery. So, he may find Jeremy and Stephanie shackled to the chairs. But even if he does, Rolf would likely order his helper Owen, who’s been monitoring Lexie Carver’s (Renee Jones) machines, to just get rid of the captives so his lab’s not at risk.

Rolf has important work to do with Lexie now that she’s so close to her full resurrection, so he doesn’t want to have to deal with cops and all the commotion it could bring during this crucial time for his patient.

Stephanie and Jeremy Team Up to Escape

So, this could be a hard pill for Stephanie and Jeremy to swallow. Owen’s vowed to take Stephanie far away and dispose of Jeremy. He’s annoyed because Owen was counting on his scapegoat Jeremy being in jail and not showing up there complicating things.

Plus, one other thing Owen isn’t counting on is Stephanie teaming up with her ex, Jeremy, to make an escape from that ratty little room. Stephanie and Jeremy have to trust each other in order to get away from their delusional captor.

Stephanie and Jeremy also talked about playing into Owen’s delusion that he’s going to make a life with Stephanie. They thought doing that might get Owen to at least let Jeremy go. Stephanie saw some tenderness from Jeremy when Stephanie needed it the most.

Days of our Lives: Escape Measures

In the midst of this horrible crisis, after Jeremy tried his best to dislocate his thumb to get loose, he scootched his chair closer to Stephanie. And the two clutched their fingers together as they waited in fear of what Owen would do to them next.

Meanwhile, the Salem PD, Steve, and Alex are following every lead to locate Stephanie. The cops were looking for Jeremy too because he was their main suspect. But Steve finally started to see the light on their bad assumptions.

He told Jada that the timing of the cell phone showing up at the school makes no sense if Jeremy’s the kidnapper. And Steve’s now clued in that Jeremy might’ve been set up by the real stalker. Top cop Jada also has her doubts.

That’s why she went back over the CCTV video footage of the Horton Town Square when Alex was slashed by a man in a lab coat. Jada and Steve now realize that’s not Jeremy and someone was framing him.

Jeremy Embraces Stephanie After Their Escape

Days of Our Lives spoilers hint that Stephanie and Jeremy’s escape or rescue may happen by the end of this week. They’ll be out of Owen’s hands soon, no matter how it goes. After that, things may take a big turn for Stephanie and Alex.

Spoilers for later this week say that Jeremy embraces Stephanie. There is no way he could do that if Jeremy were still handcuffed to the chair. Either Stephanie or Jeremy has to be untied—or both—for that to happen.

Maybe he finally dislocates his thumb so he can get loose. We also know that Alex and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) are in the lab soon and Alex rushes into the storage room. But will he walk in on his wife Stephanie hugging her ex-boyfriend Jeremy?

Meanwhile, Steve and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) catch up with Owen at the park and are shocked to see his face. At first glance, Alex may assume Jeremy was conspiring with Owen all this time. Stephanie may have to defend Jeremy from the blame.

Days of our Lives: Trauma Bonding Could Lead to Stephanie and Jeremy Reunion

And after their ordeal, we could see Stephanie trauma bonding with Jeremy. If that causes problems for her and Alex, that could set things up for Joy Wesley to get her claws into Alex when Joy’s back to Salem next month, possibly with Alex’s baby in her arms.

But in the interim, if Stephanie comes out of the kidnapping with forgiveness in her heart toward Jeremy, it could cause tension between her and Alex. Plus, if her new husband pushes her about starting a family, Stephanie may say she never wants kids. That could be a big issue.

Joy’s back to Salem on April 24th and Jeremy leaves on April 29th, so we have a little overlap there. Jeremy and Stephanie continue to bond this week and should be away from Owen soon. And if Stephanie comes out of it seeing Jeremy differently, Alex might not like that at all.

The NBC sitcom Community is rightfully regarded as one of the best television comedies ever made, at least for the first three seasons. However, showrunner Dan Harmon was replaced in Season 4, a season whose poor quality and reception would give it the Harmon-approved nickname “the gas leak year.” Harmon came back for Seasons 5 and 6, but the show continued to lose original cast members, and after leaving NBC, its final season was broadcast to a much smaller audience on Yahoo!

Because of this, there is a general belief in the Community fandom and the internet at large that the show should have ended after Season 3 and that the last three seasons are worth skipping altogether. While it’s true that Season 4 was pretty iffy (it lacked Dan Harmon’s special brand of crazy), Seasons 5 and 6 are excellent. Not only are they worthy of the seasons that came before, but these episodes are dramatically better than almost anything you can find on television right now.

Six Seasons And A Movie

First, some context about the rise and fall of Community. From the beginning, the show was something of a paradox for NBC: it gained widespread critical acclaim and major awards buzz, taking home a Primetime Emmy (one of four the show would ultimately be nominated for) in its second season. At the same time, the show struggled with ratings, and it was put on hiatus in Season 3 before being brought back after a prolonged  #SaveCommunity fan campaign that even the actors took part in.

Community got renewed for Season 4, but after he clashed with NBC executives and Chevy Chase in increasingly public ways, Dan Harmon got the boot and was replaced as showrunner. He was brought back for Season 5, but this was the season where beloved cast member Donald Glover left the show. As the show faced low ratings yet again, NBC officially canceled Community, and it would later air its sixth and final season (one that saw the departure of Yvette Nicole Brown) on the brief-lived streaming service Yahoo TV.

The Fan Disappointment Was Streets Ahead

It’s not hard to see why the second half of Community got a bad rap: Season 4 is so tonally different, and everyone feels out-of-character without the presence of Dan Harmon (who famously based the show on his experiences as a Glenndale Community College student who became part of a study group). When Harmon came back for Season 4, he used a throwaway line about a gas leak to casually explain that none of that season’s events had actually happened.

However, a lore reset wasn’t enough for some fans: by the end, Community had lost three of its core cast members (Donald Glover, Chevy Chase, and Yvette Nicole Brown), greatly affecting the show’s dynamic. This was a show whose entire charm came from the weird chemistry of vastly different characters who banded together to survive their college classes. Because that dynamic changed so dramatically with the introduction of new characters, many fans think that Seasons 5 and 6, even with the return of Dan Harmon as showrunner, aren’t worth watching.

They Didn’t Britta The Final Seasons

Here’s the thing, though: those seasons are surprisingly excellent, and that’s in large part due to Community getting some new blood. It’s true that the show lost something special with the departure of original cast members, especially Donald Glover. His Troy character’s interactions with Abed formed the heart and soul of the show. But Season 5 saw the addition of Breaking Bad icon Jonathan Banks, whose gruff, no-nonsense professor gives our favorite deranged students someone hilariously crusty to bounce off of (he is particularly impressive in “Advanced Advanced Dungeons & Dragons”).

Similarly, Season 6 saw the introduction of Paget Brewster as an administrator who, despite her softer edges, provides a similar role: she is someone relatively strait-laced that the other characters (who are as immature as ever) can easily play off of. But the real secret sauce of Community’s sixth season is Keith David, whose quirky inventor combines the best parts of Pierce (old and hilariously out of touch) and the most transgressive parts of Troy (especially with jokes making racism into a raucous punchline). Davis is a genuine cinematic treasure, and he breathes so much life into Season 6, you’ll never guess it’s the final season until the very end. 

Funnier And Weirder Than Greendale Itself

Aside from the awesome performances from newcomers like Keith David, the other reason that Community’s final two seasons are worth watching is that the episodes are just as funny and ambitious as anything that came before. “G.I. Jeff,” for example, tells a moving story about Jeff through the medium of some top-notch animation, and all the humor involving the old G.I. Joe cartoon is sure to keep any ‘80s kid worth their action figures laughing until the credits roll. Similarly, “App Development and Condiments” makes profound commentary on the modern obsession with social media, but it does so through laugh-out-loud scenes that remind you that Community is the most bonkers TV show ever made.

This was, of course, always the Community formula: showrunner Dan Harmon specialized in wrapping moving, often poignant stories in the form of episodes featuring unhinged characters and subversively meta humor. The show’s final two seasons keep this momentum up and prove the formula is still great with episodes like “Lawnmower Maintenance and Postnatal Care,” which pairs Britta’s story of rebellion against her helicopter parents with a tale of the Dean becoming obsessed with virtual reality (a gag that seems even funnier after the repeated failures of unpopular technology like Google Glass and Apple Vision Pro).

Escaping The Darkest Timeline

Even to the end, Community is great at subverting our expectations in the funniest possible way: “Queer Studies and Advanced Waxing,” for example, has the college’s bumbling Board inviting Dean Pelton to become a member because it will look good for them to have hired a gay man. Pelton struggles with this, though, because he identifies as far more than “gay” and doesn’t like the idea of being placed in such a restrictive box. Amid this thoughtful tale of queer exploration and inept school politicking, we get a B plot about Chang performing as Mr. Myagi along with a frighteningly catchy earworm of a song (“Gay Dean,” sung to the tune of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”).

Long story not very short: Community remains one of the best sitcoms ever made, and no show in modern television has managed to reach this show’s humorous heights. But I want this to be a PSA (or at least a very special edition of Troy and Abed in the Morning) that the show’s final two seasons are just as good as seasons 1-3, and if you left the series during the gas leak year, there’s still time to come back and watch the rest of the show. If you do so quickly enough, you’ll be just in time to enjoy the upcoming Community film, one which will fulfill the prophecy so frequently quoted by both Abed and the fandom: “six seasons and a movie!” 

Former NFL player Darron Lee allegedly turned to ChatGPT for advice the day before his girlfriend, Gabriella Perpétuo, was found dead in a rental home they shared in Tennessee, according to prosecutors.

Hamilton County District Attorney Coty Wamp shared the unearthed messages that Lee, 31, was claimed to have written during a preliminary court hearing on Monday, March 9, speculating it was an attempt by the New York Jets’ former first-round pick to carry out the murder and not get caught.

“Don’t know what to do right now,” Lee allegedly wrote, per the Los Angeles Times. “Fiancée did her crazy thing again and now she’s messed up, I wake up and she has two swollen eyes (I didn’t do anything, self inflicted) she stabbed herself, slit her eye? Idk but she isn’t waking up or responding, what do I do?”

The generated response from ChatGPT stated, “Got it. Here’s exactly what [redacted] is the safest way to handle it without framing it as ‘police trouble.’”

Lee also apparently asked if someone who has slipped and fallen could suffer “puncture wounds.” (An autopsy conducted on Perpétuo, 29, determined that she suffered severe brain trauma, a broken neck, extensive bruising, large bite marks on her shoulder and thigh, stab wounds and significant facial injuries.)

Lead detective Brian Lockhart previously told the court there was blood found in nearly every room of the house except one. Investigators also discovered broken glass from the microwave in the kitchen, alcohol bottles scattered throughout the home and cleaning supplies.

Wamp brought forth the new evidence, claiming that Lee was using the AI chatbot as a “legal advisor” and had “dozens of conversations” over a two-day span.

Dispatch audio painted a tragic picture of the final moments of Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland’s life. Kneeland sent a group text to his family “saying goodbye,” according to audio obtained by TMZ Sports on Thursday, November 6.  “We’re talking to his girlfriend,” a 911 dispatcher said. “She’s trying to call his agent. We’re […]

“Mr. Lee was in a home with a female [who] was, for lack of a better term, beaten to death,” Wamp told the court last month while asking the judge overseeing the case to withhold the ex-linebacker’s bond. “And the explanation that he gave doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.”

Lee was ultimately denied bond and remains in custody on first-degree murder and evidence‑tampering charges. He has not yet entered a formal plea but denied wrongdoing when officers arrived at the scene.

“She wasn’t saying anything and that’s when I called 911 immediately, and I was like, ‘What is going on?’ … I was asleep for a long time,” Lee said in a video shown in court.

Perpétuo’s family has since filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against Lee and launched a GoFundMe to cover attorney fees, funeral and travel costs. As of March 10, $63,000 out of a $100,000 goal has been raised.

“Gabriella was a victim to domestic violence and abuse,” the description reads. “She is unfortunately no longer with us. She was residing in Tennessee when this happened and is currently still there. Her parents Monique and Nilson have traveled there to go and try to get her back home to Florida as soon as possible so family and friends can say their final goodbyes.”
