Hudson McLeroy is explaining his personal decision to move back to Atlanta after his split from Ariana Biermann.

“I was starting a business out of Atlanta, a car company. It was going really good until I had that car explode and a couple of speed bumps along the way,” Hudson, 24, shared on the Wednesday, September 23, episode of Next Gen NYC. “I didn’t f*** off to Atlanta. I was genuinely trying to start a business, trying to put forth effort into what Ariana said I wasn’t doing while we were dating.”

The Bravo star continued, “I also got readdicted to drugs. I was dealing with a lot of different things that were going on all at once.”

During the reunion show, which was hosted by Andy Cohen, Charlie Zakkour was critical of Hudson for moving out of New York City and not fighting for Ariana, 24, as she stayed in the Big Apple.

At one point, Ariana defended her ex and wished Charlie, 30, had a bit more empathy.

“You act like Hudson wasn’t down bad in a f***ing drug addiction,” she shared during the reunion taping. “You don’t think of situations. He went to rehab!”

Charlie, who claimed he didn’t know all the details about Hudson’s reality, replied, “At the time, all I saw was a guy saying a lot of things that he wanted about his ex and not doing jack s*** to get her.”

As Hudson struggled with his health, Ariana revealed that she remained in touch with his relatives.

“I was talking to his family often, helping with every kind of aspect with everything that I could and also not overstepping a boundary I was trying to create with him at the same time,” she shared. “When your life is at risk, all bets are off.”

When Andy, 58, asked if the pair briefly reconciled, Ariana confirmed that they tried to give things another chance. Ultimately, they decided to remain just friends and costars.

“Hudson had just gotten out of rehab, and I was going through a very traumatic point in my life,” she explained. “We found comfort in each other again. We’re family. We really are. And when push comes to shove, if Hudson needs me, no matter where I am in the world, I always want to be able to help him.”

In a separate interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Hudson shared more insight into his journey.

“I can’t control everything that’s going on around me. I can’t control every relationship, every disappointment or everything life throws at me, but I am learning that I do have to control how I respond to those things,” he said in an interview published on Thursday, September 24. “I think that’s something I’m gonna continue to do for the rest of my life.”

General Hospital fans know Ava Jerome (Maura West) is stuck with Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) right now because they are in this Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) mess together. But very soon we could see Ava getting even closer to Drew, like a lot more closer because she’s got an agenda to benefit herself.

Today we’re going to talk about how Ava might seduce Drew to further her own agenda.

General Hospital: Ava’s after Sonny

All right, so we know Ava is furious with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) right now for taking Avery Corinthos (Scarola twins) out of school without consulting her. Ava marched right over to Sonny’s and she confronted him. Ava ranted that this is the last time that Sonny will go behind her back when it comes to their daughter Avery.

Now, we know Ava originally teamed up with Drew because she wanted his help because of her daughter. Ava’s tired of Sonny treating her like garbage, which is accurate. But also deserved. And Ava wants to make sure that Sonny never takes Avery away from her again and that Sonny doesn’t turn their daughter against her. So, Ava knows Drew is ruthless and he’s got powerful contacts and Ava needs somebody in her corner who is dangerous.

Ava & Drew Need Each Other on GH

And now Drew and Ava are bound together because of this sticky situation with them drugging Jack Brennan and what they assume was his accidental drowning death. Ava has assured Drew if she goes down for Jack’s death then Drew is going to go down with her. You know that saying that a friend will help you move and a good friend will help you move a body. Despite Ava and Drew not being friends before, they are forced together. Because of their mutually assured destruction if the Jack stuff gets out.

But it’s also very complicated because Ava’s also angry that Drew framed Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) for Jack’s disappearance. But bottom line, Ava needs Drew to help take Sonny down. And Ava will prioritize her daughter Avery over her friendship with Nina. Because don’t forget, she induced labor and stole Avery from Ava. So, she did forgive Nina. But Ava’s also got to protect Drew because he is her best shot to get Avery away from Sonny and shut down the way he treats her.

General Hospital: Ava Blames Carly

So, instead of telling Willow Tait Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) that Drew framed her mom, Ava pointed Willow at Carly Spencer (Laura Wright). And yeah, it’s accurate. Carly did rat out Nina to Agent William Baines (Alimi Ballard). And I’m sure that Carly knows that Nina wasn’t capable of kidnapping or doing something violent to Jack. But Carly just couldn’t resist being petty to Nina because she hates her and she always will and is dating Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), Nina’s ex-husband. So the good news is that Willow will go after Carly and Ava will enjoy that. Because she also hates Carly.

So, now I think Ava is going to get even closer to Drew and winds up seducing him. And the reason I think so is because of something Ava said to Drew really recently when Ava got that tick on her. Remember she went over to see Drew and told him to strip. And it sounded sketchy. But then Ava said he needed to check himself all over for tick. And Drew claimed he’s not interested in Ava that way when she said strip.

She clapped back at Drew and said, “If I was trying to seduce you, you’d already be naked and grateful.” I laughed out loud at that line and I feel like it was foreshadowing. So, we may see Ava and Drew heat up. But I don’t think Ava’s going to go after Drew. Because he’s irresistible. I mean, his body’s hot. But his personality is not. I think if Ava seduces Drew, it’ll be calculated and for Ava’s own benefit. Getting in Drew’s bed will give Ava greater access to him and to his house and she needs to be as close as possible to Drew to keep pushing him about destroying Sonny.

General Hospital: Ava’s Bad-Boy History

We know Ava wants Sonny out of her life as soon as possible to ensure she never loses Avery. And this would not be the 1st time Ava has used her sexuality to get what she wants. But I will say usually when Ava gets involved with a guy, she is looking for something or falls into something. She had feelings for Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth), also for Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig). Of course, Sonny was a one-off, hateful one night stand, and Paul Hornsby was a weird fling.

But other relationships saw Ava falling head over heels, like with Griffin Munro (Matt Cohen), like with Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) when he was pretending to be Kevin Collins (also Jon Lindstrom). Ava and Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) started out sketchy, then they fell in love. But her last relationship was more transactional. That was Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst). So, I think Ava getting sexual with Drew could be carefully calculated as part of an agenda.

General Hospital: Ava Needs to Keep Drew Close

Also, remember Nina warned Ava about getting involved with Drew. We saw Nina asked if Ava was romantically involved with Drew and Ava seemed appalled. But that could have been another piece of foreshadowing info that Drew and Ava are going to hit the sheets soon.

And not only will it help getting her getting closer to Drew with her Sonny situation. But Ava might also be hoping to get some evidence on Drew so she can protect herself if this Jack thing blows up and if he turns on her. Because thanks to that little dog, obviously Jack’s body is going to be found and then Drew and Ava may really get paranoid and there’s the chance that 1 of them could turn on the other on General Hospital.

As I said before, Ava made it clear to Drew he better not turn on her. Because if Ava goes down, so does Drew. But I can see Ava wanting an insurance policy. If she can find something to hold as leverage over Drew, that’ll protect her in case he ever considers throwing Ava under the bus. And in fact, the seduction plan maybe spur of the moment.

General Hospital: Ava Searches for Insurance Policy

We know that there are more scenes that have been filmed of Drew and Ava at his place, them together there also. So, we might see Ava sneaking into Drew’s house to poke around looking for some dirt on him as insurance blackmail leverage. And then Drew catches Ava and she may pivot and pretend she was there to seduce Drew because she just can’t resist. You know, Ava could tell him she just couldn’t stay away. Drew’s been locked in for a while, so he’s not had anybody in his bed.

And his ego is so big he may think Ava’s drawn to his muscles and manliness. I’d like to see Ava find some evidence against Drew to implicate him without implicating herself. So, this seduction may come into it. And maybe if she finds a way to tie Drew’s hands, and I mean that literally, maybe to the headboard. But also metaphorically. You know, I think Ava could do naughty things to Drew and convince him to totally be on her side.

General Hospital: Sonny Flips His Lid

And as an added bonus, Drew being with Ava would aggravate Sonny to no end. He hates Drew and he hates Ava. And I’m sure Sonny would think if Drew and Ava are together, they’re conspiring against him. Ric would probably agree and they’d be right. But also, sleeping with Drew and acting like they’re dating would be a great cover story.

Because if Ava and Drew look like they were in some kind of situationship, then it wouldn’t be surprising for people to see them out and about together. If Ava and Drew aren’t dating, there’s no reason for them to be chatting together. Lately, when people have seen Ava with Drew, they’re like, “What are they doing together?” Because it looks suspicious.

If they’re together looking involved, looking sexy, then people will assume that Ava’s just made a terrible relationship choice with Drew. And vice versa, we’ll assume that they’re shagging and that’s it. And if Ava does wind up seducing Drew to get him to do everything she wants, there’s always the chance that Ava could develop feelings for him. I’m not sure that Drew would reciprocate because his heart seems ice cold at this point, but Ava tends to fall for bad guys.

Red carpet stylists have never treated shapewear as a secret — it’s standard kit. Here’s how to build the same foundation for a wedding, a party, or any night the camera’s out.

Every award season, the same behind-the-scenes detail resurfaces: stylists don’t just pick a dress; they build the whole foundation underneath it. Industry reporting on red-carpet prep has long described stylists keeping a full rotation of undergarments on hand for clients — slips, tummy-control shorts, strapless bras, bodysuits — swapped in based on the cut of the dress and where a client wants to be smoothed. Beauty and fashion coverage of recent awards seasons has made shapewear a consistent part of the equipment list, not a scandal.

None of that requires a stylist on retainer. The same logic — pick the undergarment based on what the outfit actually needs, not what’s in the top drawer — works for a wedding, a work party, or a night out with photos involved. It just means knowing what to reach for.

The usual culprits behind a messy outfit are familiar: digging underwire, straps that slide, bunching around the waist, visible panty lines, or texture showing through where you want it smooth. Most of that is fixable with the right base layer, not a different outfit.

Under Bodycon or Silk Slip Dresses

5

Tight, unforgiving fabric shows everything, including lines and texture that a looser dress would hide. High-waisted shaper shorts handle this without the mid-thigh “sausage” effect that too-short shapewear can create — they smooth the tummy and thighs, stay invisible under clothing, and help prevent chafing between the legs.

Under Sheer Blouses or Blazers

5

Underwear-as-outerwear has become its own trend, which raises the stakes on visible layers looking intentional rather than accidental. A shape-enhancing scoop-neck cami does that job under sheer or light-colored fabric — matching the color to skin tone keeps it invisible if that’s the goal. It adds the tummy control a regular cami doesn’t have, with adjustable straps and enough versatility to wear alone or layered.

Under Strapless or Off-Shoulder Looks

5

Strapless styles come with their own failure points: slipping, the flattened “uniboob” look, straps that need constant adjusting. A wireless strapless bandeau bra solves the two big issues at once — no underwire to dig in, and a thin silicone strip along the top edge to keep it in place. Convertible straps mean it can adapt to whatever the top requires, and a wide, seamless band smooths the sides and back instead of cutting into them.

Under High-Waisted Skirts or Fitted Trousers

5

For anything that needs a tucked-in midsection — office wear included — a high-waisted panty with tummy shaping and light mid-back smoothing covers most situations. It also works under tighter dresses for anyone who wants less coverage than full shorts.

Sizing: Down, True, or Up?

5

This is the most common question in shapewear, and the answer depends on the occasion:

• Sizing down adds extra contouring for a short special-occasion wear, but sacrifices comfort — not something to do for anything longer than a few hours.
• True size is the right call for everyday wear, balancing support with actual comfort.
• Sizing up makes sense for a relaxed fit or for anyone between sizes.

A couple of practical checks help confirm the fit is right. If the fabric rolls, digs in, or pinches, it’s too small. If it shifts or won’t stay put while sitting, bending, and walking, it’s too large — test all three before deciding it’s the right size.

Two other habits from stylists are worth borrowing: measure actual waist and hip size rather than going off jean size, and check the fit against each product’s specific size chart rather than assuming sizes are consistent across brands. Once it’s on, two fingers should slide comfortably under the waistband — if they can’t, size up. And any shapewear, camisoles included, goes on best when stepped into and pulled up, so the built-in support lands where it’s designed to.

Comfort and camera-readiness aren’t actually in competition. Getting the base layer right just means the outfit — and the pictures — take care of themselves.

The Young and the Restless prepares as Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Sally Spectra‘s (Courtney Hope) wedding coming up fast. And we know from official fall The Young and the Restless spoilers to expect the unexpected at Billy and Sally’s big day.

So, that’s got me thinking whether we might see some unexpected guest there. Today we’re going to talk about who might crash Billy and Sally’s wedding and cause absolute chaos. Maybe in a good way, maybe in a bad way, maybe both.

Young and the Restless: Prepare for Drama

So, recently in the official The Young and the Restless preview for fall, it said that Billy and Sally’s wedding would be the event of the year and that unanticipated things may happen. Now, we already know things are getting quite interesting because Chelsea Lawson Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) is now one of Sally’s bridesmaids and now it looks like Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) may be attending the wedding.

And then we’ve also got Billy at odds with his mother Jill Abbott (Jess Walton). And even though Billy agreed this week he would invite Jill to the wedding, that doesn’t mean that there won’t be tension between her and Billy, he’s already worried that he and Jill might make a scene at his and Sally’s wedding. So already that’s more than enough drama right there.

But we’re also wondering if there may be some more unexpected guests. Maybe surprises or maybe mean-spirited wedding crashers. Depending on who shows up, it could really shake things up at Sally and Billy’s wedding. But the question is, who might show up and start trouble?

Adam Can’t Resist Provoking Billy on Y&R

And the most obvious place to start is Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). We know that Billy does not want him at the wedding, but Chelsea asked Adam to please come as her date. So, right now, Adam is sort of invited because Sally doesn’t think it would be terrible if Adam came, especially now that Chelsea’s in the wedding party, but Billy is not happy about it and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) doesn’t want Chelsea in the wedding or Adam coming. But if Sally’s okay with it, then Billy has to accept it. So does Audra.

But we know originally Billy told Adam, “Do not come to the wedding.” So something might happen between now and then over the next couple of weeks and Billy’s really annoyed and he may uninvite Adam and says, “Don’t show your face.” If Billy gets angry enough, he might tell Adam, “It doesn’t matter what Sally said. Doesn’t matter that Chelsea’s a bridesmaid. You are not welcome.” And I could see Adam showing up anyway because Chelsea wants him there. Of course, Adam might crash just to get under Billy’s skin. And Adam may even do something insane like speaking up at the speak now or forever hold your peace part of the event.

Young and Restless: Crazy Patty Can’t Stay Away

But at the same time, there’s somebody so much worse than Adam that may crash Billy and Sally’s wedding. And that’s crazy Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk). She loves to wreak havoc on the Abbotts. And of course, she would know that Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) would be at the wedding. So, I could absolutely see Patty using the wedding as an opportunity to do something diabolical. With the Abbotts all in the same place for Billy and Sally’s big day, it is the perfect time for Patty to strike. She might creep in and try to drug and sneak him out of there so you know Patty can run off with Jack.

Or she could poison Diane, try to kill her with a slice of wedding cake. Or Patty could just waltz right into the middle of the wedding, bold as brass just to terrorize and scare the crap out of everybody. Diane is already really scared that Patty’s going to sneak up on them and try to hurt her and hurt Jack. So Patty may show up just to cause chaos and then, you know, run off.

Young and the Restless: Victor Ruins the Big Day

Next up as a possible Billy and Sally wedding crasher is Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). He despises Billy and he doesn’t care for Sally either. So, I could see Victor showing up to curse their union like a goblin from a fairy tale. And of course, that would send Jack through the roof. He’d be furious if Victor showed up and ruined Billy’s wedding. And that might reignite the Victor versus Jack war from the Abbott side. Obviously, Victor’s never dropped the vendetta, but Jack tried to. But if Victor crashes and causes trouble, that could be Jack’s breaking point, and he declares open war on Victor.

So, another possible wedding crasher that could be more benevolent is somebody we’ve never seen before, Sally Spectra’s dad. He was never seen on The Bold and the Beautiful. He’s never been seen on The Young and the Restless. That would be super soapy because Sally doesn’t have a relationship with her alcoholic gambler dad. He always let her down. She and her sister Coco Spectra (Ashley Campbell) were primarily raised by her grandmother Shirley Spectra (Patrika Darbo) and Sally’s sister Coco and her grandma Shirley are coming to The Young and the Restless soon.

Sally’s Parents Finally Appear on Y&R?

So, Sally’s parents have always been offscreen. As far as we know, they’re both still alive. They are carny trash people, but there’s always a chance that Sally’s father could show up and he crashes the wedding so that he can walk Sally down the aisle. Actually show up and do something for her for once. I’m wondering if Billy maybe searches for Sally’s dad so that she’s there.

He’s there to walk her down the aisle. Billy may find him. And you know, initially maybe Sally’s deadbeat dad says no. And if Billy does find and talks to her dad and he says no, I don’t think that he would tell Sally that he found her dad and he refused because there’s no reason for Billy to hurt Sally that way. But Sally’s dad may have a change of heart and he shows up and crashes.

Hopefully, he won’t show up drunk if he does. So, they said on both The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful that her dad has always had a drinking problem, so it could get messy. What would be really wild is if Sally’s dad shows up to walk her down the aisle, but it’s not Billy who arranges to have Sally’s dad at the wedding. Can you imagine if it’s Adam that sets it up? He may think that he would be doing something really nice for Sally to make up for some of the ways that Adam hurt her in the past.

Young and Restless: Sally’s Mom Shows Up?

Related to that, there is an off chance that Sally’s mom could crash the wedding. It’s unclear whether or not Sally’s parents are still married. Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t. But if they are married and her dad crashes, her mom might crash along with him. And if they’re not married, you know, maybe Sally’s mom hears that her ex-husband was invited and she doesn’t want to be outdone, so she shows up on Sally and Billy’s big day.

That would be absolutely crazy soapy. I mean, it’s really sad for Sally that her parents aren’t around for her big day. And obviously, Billy’s dad, John Abbott (Jerry Douglas), has passed away, but his mom will be there, Jill. And I think it could be good if Sally had more family there.

Crazy Possibility on Y&R

The last possible crasher that I can think of, it would be somebody really fun, maybe Sally’s ex fiancé from The Bold and the Beautiful shows up, and that is Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks). He and Sally have a really messy past. When she was losing Wyatt to another woman, Sally faked a terminal illness to try and keep Wyatt.

So, maybe Sally’s ex crashes to warn Billy that Sally’s no good and Wyatt can say that Billy’s getting in over his head with Sally. That would be a fun and dramatic crossover. That being said, I doubt it will happen. I don’t see anybody from The Bold and the Beautiful at Sally’s wedding aside from the other two Spectras, Shirley and Coco. But the spoiler said to expect the unexpected, so a wedding crasher seems likely to me.

In the long list of iconic TV fantasy series, there are quite a few fantastic vampire shows available. From supernatural drama and gothic romances to dark comedies, survival stories, and emotional tales about immortality, the best vampire fantasy shows do so much more than use vampires for style or scares; they turn captivating bloodlust, enthralling power, swoon-worthy love, debilitating loneliness, and heart-pumping danger into stories that feel rich and unforgettable.

Fantasy shows like the beloved series The Vampire Diaries, which turns small-town romance into a sprawling supernatural saga filled with curses, betrayal, witches, werewolves, and love, and action-thriller Van Helsing, which introduces the much darker post-apocalyptic side of vampiric fantasy, are just two series in the heavily coated blood-sucking genre that genuinely feel alive and stand as stunningly captivating. Compiled on this list are nine fantasy shows that feature vampires and stand as 10/10 masterpieces.

‘Interview with the Vampire’ (2022–Present)

Interview with the Vampire is one of the greatest and most overlooked masterpieces in the fantasy genre. Based on Anne Rice‘s novels, the show follows gangster and pimp Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) as he recounts his life with his vampire lover and maker, Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), while navigating the present with a new companion.

Interview with the Vampire is an underrated icon that makes this list because of how it masterfully treats immortality as something cruel, beautiful, seductive, and emotionally devastating. The series is easily a 10/10 masterpiece not only due to the captivating chemistry between its leads, but also because its overall story is genuinely addictive. Interview with the Vampire is enticingly poetic, and few vampire series can match it in craft and richness, making it one of the greatest fantasy vampire shows to ever exist.

‘The Vampire Lestat’ (2026)

This expansion of Anne Rice’s universe stands as one of the strongest modern vampire fantasies ever seen on TV. The Vampire Lestat centers around the immortal vampire, Lestat, as he’s confronted with his past while navigating his rock-star present, all the while falling into romantic entanglements with various lovers.

The Vampire Lestat is one of the best expansions of not only any vampire series, but any fantasy shows in the genre. The iconic but horribly underrated gem definitely knows how to deliver a vampire legend, as Lestat stands as one of the most magnetic figures in vampire fiction. Very few fantasy series in the blood-sucking TV catalog are able to deliver characters that are actually built for spectacle in the way Lestat and others are. The Vampire Lestat, with its tension, drama, and character chemistry, makes for a truly 10/10 viewing experience, marking the series as a genuine masterpiece among vampire fantasies.

‘The Vampire Diaries’ (2009–2017)

The Vampire Diaries is a true teen drama icon that stood at the top of fantasy television during its time on air. Set in the town of Mystic Falls, the series centers on high school student Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), who unknowingly begins to fall for a 162-year-old vampire named Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley). Their growing romance is sent into turmoil when Stefan’s older brother Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) returns home.

The Vampire Diaries is well known for its angst, love triangle romance, and, of course, rather broody vampires. The show is loved dearly for its writing and emotional depth, as it delivers quite the vampiric good time. From the show’s fast-paced mythology to the sizzling chemistry among its leads, The Vampire Diaries is the perfect vampire fantasy TV show for those who are interested in a masterful television landmark that is both swoon-inducing and violently chaotic.

‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ (1997–2003)

This vampire fantasy series is a genuine genre-redefining epic. Buffy the Vampire Slayer follows the young Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), who is the latest in a line of young women destined to fight dastardly things with rather sharp teeth that go bump in the night.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the witty fantasy fans of the genre go crazy for. It’s a true classic staple with likable characters, heartfelt drama, and boundary-breaking writing. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an iconic benchmark for TV fantasy due to both its mythology and genre-savvy dialogue. The show may be one of the oldest on this list, but Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a fantastic vampire TV masterpiece that belongs in any 10/10 conversation, not only because of its influence, but also due to its emotional range that remains enormous.

‘True Blood’ (2008–2014)

True Blood is a vampire fantasy masterpiece beloved greatly for its metaphorical storytelling and bold worldbuilding. Set in Louisiana, the show focuses on telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), who lives in a town where vampires live openly after inventing synthetic “Tru Blood.” There she meets and falls for Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a 174 -year-old vampire, which thrusts her into vampire politics, religions, and war.

True Blood is genuinely one of the best vampire shows ever created. Aired on HBO in 2008, the series is no doubt a mature good time that is definitely not the average vampire teen fantasy. True Blood masterfully blends soap opera romance with southern Gothic drama, exploring vampires’ fight for equal rights and the emergence of extremist groups. Most of the show’s earlier seasons are heavily praised for their gripping plots, with most dubbing it a fantasy masterpiece that stands as a 10/10 vampire drama landmark.

‘A Discovery of Witches’ (2018–2022)

This series may not entirely be about vampires, but with its male lead and iconic, swoony love interest, it makes a perfect addition to this list of fantasy shows rife with vampires. Based on Deborah Harkness‘ novels, A Discovery of Witches centers around a reluctant witch and scholar, Diana Bishop (Teresa Palmer), and suave vampire, Matthew Clairmont (Matthew Goode), as they begin falling in love despite the historical feud between their kind.

A Discovery of Witches is definitely a 10/10 fantasy experience that really draws its audience in. It’s a truly captivating series, obsessively beloved for its forbidden romance between a witch and a vampire. With its romantic storytelling and world-building, fans have dubbed it fascinating, an enthralling vampire romance that is as sexy as it is sweet. A Discovery of Witches has a strong blend of magic, history, and science, and with its standout performances, it cements its place as one of the finest contemporary classics in the vampire genre.

‘Van Helsing’ (2016–2021)

Van Helsing is an underrated comfort watch that definitely deserves far more recognition than it received. The American-Canadian post-apocalyptic gem centers on nurse Vanessa Helsing (Kelly Overton) as she awakens from a coma, only to realize that the world isn’t as she left it; instead, it’s overrun by vampires with civilization broken.

Van Helsing may have a few mixed reviews about some of its later seasons, but it stands as a fantastically creative vampire series. With a mix of sci-fi tropes and supernatural fantasy mischief, the show delivers a captivating watch that masterfully blends horror, action, and mythology. Van Helsing definitely earned its small but devoted fanbase due to how entertaining it is, with its high stakes and grim aesthetic. The show is a brilliant addition to the vampiric genre, one that stands as a truly worthy addition to this list of vampire fantasy masterpieces.

‘What We Do in the Shadows’ (2019–2024)

This comedy-mockumentary is consistently inventive and never runs out of ways to make immortality knee-slappingly funny. What We Do in the Shadows focuses on four vampire roommates, Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), as they struggle to take over the “New World.”

What We Do in the Shadows is ridiculously amusing and delightfully absurd. It’s a true comedic gem that is often praised for its sharp humor and off-kilter cast. What We Do in the Shadows is a loving parody of vampire lore, with impeccable comedic timing and witty writing. The series is truly perfect for fantasy fans in need of a vampire series with a fresh perspective. With a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score and award nominations, the vampiric fantasy comedy is a masterful watch with both clever storytelling and top-tier performances.

‘Moonlight’ (2007–2008)

Moonlight is an underrated cult gem that should definitely be recognized as one of the best vampire fantasies to make it onto TV. The fantasy gem follows the wisecracking private investigator Mick St. John (Alex O’Loughlin), who is secretly a 200-year-old vampire.

Moonlight may have had a short run, but it easily remains one of the greatest romantic vampire fantasies. With its thrilling combination of forbidden attraction, crime cases, emotional restraint, and immortality, the series delivers a moody story about a vampire just trying to live by some sort of moral standard. Moonlight is a genuine one-season masterpiece that is still frequently praised for both its story and charismatic lead performance, marking it as a high-quality—albeit short-lived—vampire drama that is quite masterful.

The father of NHL star Andrei Kuzmenko was killed in a shocking bear attack during a fishing trip on Tuesday, September 22, according to Russian reports. He was 62.

Alexander Kuzmenko and a group of five others had set up camp in a remote area of Russia’s Todzhinsky District when a brown bear emerged from a nearby forest and “attacked Alexander.”

“His friends managed to fight the animal off, drive it away, and administer first aid,” according to a Russian news report. “The injuries were extremely severe, primarily to the face.”

Russian network REN TV was first to report the news, saying “severe facial tissue” was “torn off” Alexander.

Brooke Hogan recalled how her late father, Hulk Hogan, sleeping with one of her best friends caused an irreparable rift in their relationship.  “A major turning point came after he slept with my friend Christiane [Plante],” Brooke, 38, exclusively told Us. “I forgive people very easily — sometimes probably too easily — and I forgave […]

“The tourists called an ambulance and arranged to meet at the tourist camp,” the outlet reported. “Due to the lack of roads, travel in the area was only possible by water. The descent took about four hours.”

Once the group finally reached first responders, Alexander was airlifted to a local hospital where the longtime hockey coach eventually succumbed to his injuries. 

It has been a record year for bear attacks in Russia, per REN TV, with at least 15 people killed. The area in which Alexander and his group had set up was previously restricted by Russian authorities due to heavy bear activity. 

Andrei, 30, is currently preparing to enter his first season with the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins. 

“The Pittsburgh Penguins organization was deeply saddened this morning to learn of the passing of Andrei Kuzmenko’s father, Alexander,” Penguins president and general manager Kyle Dubas said in a statement. “Our deepest thoughts and sympathies are with the Kuzmenko family and their loved ones as they grieve the loss of Alexander. We ask that the privacy of Andrei and the Kuzmenko family be respected at this time.”
