If you’re looking for an almost 90-minute thriller to capture your attention for an evening, then perhaps it’s time to give Night Hunter a try. This Canadian-made Henry Cavill-led detective flick boasts a stacked cast that includes Ben Kingsley, Stanley Tucci, Nathan Fillion, and Alexandra Daddario, and features enough twists and turns to keep you hooked until the very end. It may not be as action-packed as some of Cavill’s other 2010s features, but it’ll certainly entertain. Night Hunter is currently dominating the streaming charts, and can be found for free on PlutoTV, Fawesome TV and Hoopla.

‘Night Hunter’ Is a ’90s-Style Crime Drama With Potential

Originally titled Nomis upon release, Night Hunter follows Minneapolis-based Detective Walter Marshall (Cavill) as he stumbles upon a local child predator ring that has gone on for years undetected. In fact, the only reason the police happen upon it at all is due to the death of a young woman who escaped captivity — and a former judge, Michael Cooper (Kingsley), who has decided to take the law into his own hands. As Marshall and Cooper work together to track down the party responsible, the cops find and arrest the mentally disturbed Simon Stulls (Brendan Fletcher), who gives Marshall and police profiler Rachel Chase (Daddario) the runaround as they try to discern just how many women have been stolen and killed over the years. It’s here that Night Hunter gets particularly interesting as our heroes deal with the deranged party responsible. While everyone does a fine job in this picture, it’s Fletcher who truly delivers with the most important performance in the film, offering several complex and menacing sides to the criminal element at the center of the mystery.

Night Hunter — which was written and directed by David Raymond — has been considered a Zodiac replacement, and has also been compared to similar serial killer-driven pictures like Seven, The Silence of the Lambs, and even Split, given the fractured mental state of Fletcher’s character. While the film certainly takes some inspiration from the action crime thrillers of the ’90s, it feels particularly modern in its fast-paced approach to the aforementioned genres. The plot itself moves quickly along and although it’s unashamedly a B-movie, that’s no reason to simply write it off. While some could argue that the film is too complex or perhaps even contrived, Night Hunter makes for a fun watch if not just to see this solid cast unite for an entertaining (and high-stakes) 98 minutes that keeps everything moving. No, it’s not as profound as Seven, classic as Silence of the Lambs, or remotely as frightening as Split (except, perhaps, due to the “what ifs” you may imagine in the aftermath), but it does the job well with the time given and refuses to waste its leading star. As far as psychological thrillers go, it’s certainly mind-bending.

Henry Cavill and the Rest of the Cast Turn ‘Night Hunter’ Into the Perfect Evening Watch

Despite its mixed-to-negative reputation, Night Hunter has consistently been a favorite with audiences on streaming for years now, dominating the charts every time it’s been widely available on free-to-stream platforms. This was the case last summer as well as earlier this year, and the film continues to draw in an audience even now. One might take issue with some of the direction or possibly even the lack of material for stars like Tucci and Fillion, but there are certainly some uncut gems here that make the movie formerly known as Nomis worth the watch. Fans of Henry Cavill, in particular, will be pleased, especially when he’s performing opposite Fletcher or Kingsley. As a struggling father fighting to create a safe world for his daughter (only to wrestle in expressing himself to her), Marshall is a tried-and-true staple of the detective genre that emotionally grounds the picture. Fathers in the audience may cling to such material.

At the end of the day, Night Hunter may not be for everyone. It’s a video-on-demand flick that leans a bit too hard into its star power as a substitute, but it’s one that (for the most part) really does stick the landing. Whether you’re looking for a quick watch or slowly making your way through the leading star’s entire filmography (we recommend Blood Creek next), there’s no better price of admission than free. It may not be among Henry Cavill’s most rewatchable movies, but diehard fans probably won’t be too disappointed, either.

Will Smith‘s former friend, Bilaal Salaam, is now facing another legal fight tied to the actor’s inner circle.

After recently suing the “Bad Boys” star’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, for causing him emotional distress, Salaam is now being sued by Will’s ex-wife, Sheree Zampino.

Zampino accuses him of spreading damaging false claims about her and is seeking more than $1 million as compensation.

According to court papers filed on May 27 in Los Angeles County, Zampino accused Salaam of slander, making “outrageously offensive, shocking, and hurtful statements” about her during an appearance on the YouTube show “Unwine with Tasha K.”

In the filing, she said Salaam falsely painted her as “promiscuous and sexually indiscriminate,” with the comments later spreading across social media.

The 58-year-old actress pointed to a teaser released on May 4 that reportedly read, “Exclusive: Bilaal claims Will Smith’s ex-wife Sheree Zampino was sleeping with everyone in [Hollywood]!!!” She added that Salaam continuously referred to her as a “whore” during the interview.

Zampino’s complaint also pointed out that Salaam either knew his statements were untrue or spoke with “reckless disregard as to their truth,” and believes that he is dragging her into his ongoing feud with Will.

“Plaintiff Sheree Zampino has been caught in the crossfire of Defendant Bilaal Salaam’s ongoing vendetta against her former husband, actor Will Smith,” the court document read, per PEOPLE Magazine.

As a result of the comments, Zampino noted that her reputation and emotional well-being suffered, leading her to seek damages in excess of $1 million.

Jada Pinkett’s Legal Battle Against Salaam Ended In Her Favor 

Zampino’s lawsuit comes just days after Jada Pinkett Smith secured a legal win in her own dispute with Salaam.

According to The Blast, a court ordered Salaam to pay $32,836 in legal fees connected to his 2025 lawsuit against Jada, where he claimed she caused him emotional distress and threatened him.

The “Bad Moms” actress also successfully convinced the court to dismiss some of Salaam’s claims. In his court filings, Salaam alleged that the stress from their ongoing drama caused him to gain a significant amount of weight and even lose a romantic relationship.

He also said he feared for his safety after receiving threats from Jada’s family and friends, which led him to leave the United States for a period of time.

How Jada Pinkett Fired Back At Salaam’s Allegations 

Following Salaam’s accusations, Pinkett quickly pushed back, insisting he has no evidence to back them up. As The Blast reported, Jada argued that Salaam failed to provide proof linking her to the emotional distress he said he experienced.

She explained that weight gain, the end of a relationship, and leaving the country were not enough to support such claims in court.

According to her legal argument, Salaam would need medical records or other independent evidence to back up his statements.

The ‘Girls Trip’ Actress Moved To Have The Case Thrown Out 

Since Salaam first filed the case, Jada has continued to fight it. Back in February, The Blast reported that the “Red Table Talk” host asked the court to dismiss claims accusing her of being “verbally abusive.”

Her legal team argued that the lawsuit violated California’s anti-SLAPP law, which allows courts to quickly throw out weak cases tied to protected speech.

Her lawyers also pointed out that Salaam had previously given media interviews where he claimed, without proof, that he personally witnessed Will involved in sexual acts.

Jada described those statements as false and unsupported, arguing they were made to attract attention and target her family.

A Judge Also Ruled In Will Smith’s Favor In Separate Case

Jada is not the only member of the family to recently score a courtroom victory.

In a separate sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Will by violinist Brian Joseph, the actor also came out on top.

According to The Blast, a judge ruled on May 5 that Joseph’s complaint did not meet the legal standard for sexual harassment because it failed to show behavior that was “severe or pervasive.”

Joseph claimed Smith was grooming him for sexual activity and pointed to items allegedly left in his hotel room, including wipes, beer, HIV medication, and a note as proof.

However, the court found that Joseph could not show that only Smith or his team had access to the room, especially since he admitted leaving both his bag and room key with other crew members for several hours.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking for a Pennsylvania woman who has been accused of faking a terminal brain cancer diagnosis in order to scam her family and friends out of thousands of dollars.

The FBI took to Facebook on Saturday, May 23, to say that they’re searching for Vanessa O’Rourke. Investigators believe she falsely claimed she was suffering from a terminal form of brain cancer and she scammed her loved ones by claiming she needed financial help to pay for medical treatments, living expenses and experimental care in Australia.

O’Rourke, 37, allegedly convinced her relatives, friends and other supporters to send her money by claiming she was gravely ill and was in urgent need of help.

She was previously indicted in May 2018 on 15 counts of wire fraud in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and a federal warrant was issued for her arrest at the time, according to the FBI.

The indictment claimed that O’Rourke falsely represented that she had glioblastoma between October 2015 and July 2016. She allegedly scammed 140 people, who donated nearly $12,000 to her GoFundMe campaign.

O’Rourke has also been accused of traveling to Australia, but never receiving the cancer treatment she claimed to be there for. Instead, she allegedly used the donated money to pay for her personal expenses.

The FBI added that the investigation into O’Rourke’s crimes remains active and she will remain on its wanted notices.

The search for O’Rourke has been a long journey, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Pennsylvania previously issued a statement about her crimes in September 2020.

“The allegations in this case are nauseating,” former U.S. Attorney William McSwain said at the time. “O’Rourke is charged with preying upon the kindness and generosity of good people who wished to help those in need. As alleged, there was no need here – only lies, greed and callous manipulation.”

Thank You!

You have successfully subscribed.

Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Philadelphia Division Michael J. Driscoll added, “Misleading people about a significant medical diagnosis in order to take advantage of their kind hearts and open wallets is reprehensible.”

“As alleged, Vanessa O’Rourke scammed friends and family alike, convincing them to donate money toward her supposed medical care,” Driscoll continued. “Instead, those funds supported her lifestyle and leisure. When someone commits such financial fraud, the FBI and our law enforcement partners will work to hold them accountable.”

Authorities have asked that anyone with information about O’Rourke’s whereabouts contact their local FBI office or the nearest American embassy or consulate.

Days of Our Lives puts Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) unable to stay away from Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon), no matter how often he tells Leo to please back off and no, we cannot be friends after what you did. And now that Javi’s hunky boyfriend is in town, Leo is going to get even worse.

And we just saw him getting a whole eyeful of Javi and Gus (Michael Ocampo) engaging in some happy PDA right there in Horton Town Square. But once Leo finds out Gus is planning to move to Salem, the big question is, will he sabotage Javi’s boyfriend?

Leo’s Obsession With Javi on Days of Our Lives

So, given how eaten up with jealousy that Leo is, plus that, you know, the last time I looked, unless something’s changed, he’s still wearing the wedding ring Javi put on his finger. So, I just don’t think this is going to go well. And it could be that scheming Leo takes matters into his own hands and ruins Gus’s shot at a job as a first responder in Salem.

Now, as you know, Leo and Javi have been broken up for months now. We know Leo still cares about Javi, but honestly, that ship has long since sailed. The question is, will Leo pull a shocking move to make sure that Gus is sent packing back to Texas because he can’t get a job, so he can’t stay in town and be at Javi’s side?

Michael Ocampo Makes His DOOL Debut

Soap newbie Michael Ocampo just made his debut on Days as Javi’s new boyfriend, Gustavo, or Gus for short. And Javi reconnected with Gus while he was down in Texas taking care of his father while he was recovering from open heart surgery. And apparently Javi and Gus knew each other as firefighters. But back then, Javi had not come out of the closet yet.

If you remember, that was back when he was with a woman and they had a baby and then there was that terrible thing and their baby died. So, Gus and Javi never dated back then and after losing his child then Javi wound up in Salem with Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) and that is when he met Leo Stark.

Leo And Javi’s Relationship

So, you know, from the start, he and Javi had a really sweet love story that, of course, culminated in that romantic wedding that Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) ruined when she brought her horrible husband, Dimitri Von Leuschner (Peter Porte), to town, specifically to mess up Javi and Leo’s big day. And then Dimitri lured Leo back into his web of deceit. And that sent Javi back to Texas to nurse his dad back to health and also nurse his own broken heart after he told Leo he needed to go get closure with Dimitri.

But instead Leo took off to Alamania with Dimitri to help prove his innocence in the DiMera kidnappings, which seems like a nice thing, but that cost Leo his chance with Javi because Leo didn’t tell him he was going. He just took off and Rafe and the others were kind of not saying anything. But of course, Javi did eventually learn that Leo was over in Europe. Worse yet, sharing a hotel room with his hottie ex Dimitri. And to his credit, Leo figured out that Dimitri was all flash and no substance. That he really wanted to be with Javi, but by then it was too late. And Javi had told Leo he moved on with Gus.

Days of our Lives: Leo Won’t Give Up

Of course, Leo hasn’t given up. He takes every opportunity to try and get close to Javi. He wouldn’t stay away. For instance, Leo kept showing up when Javi was hospitalized after the Johnny near death incident when Javi played hero. But unlike Leo, while Gus wasn’t around, Javi wasn’t letting his ex get close. Not like Leo did with Dimitri. We’ve seen Javi being very standoffish and insisting no, Leo can’t even be his friend. Javi has told him they are over and he is in love with Gus, who is quite the tall, handsome hunk, by the way.

Leo’s Therapy And Obsession on Days

Meanwhile, Leo has been venting to Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) in therapy about how much he misses Javi and regrets what happened with them. But recently, Marlena pointed out that it seems like Leo is just low-key stalking Javi. Poor Leo just cannot seem to get over the man that he married and lost last New Year’s Eve. Clearly Javi is a good influence on him and he made Leo a better person, but that’s not his job, you know.

And at the same time, Dimitri wants Leo basically at his worst. And I will say that Leo has come a long way in his therapy with Marlena since he and Javi broke up. But don’t forget, it was Javi who refused to sign the marriage license and left for Texas on Days of our Lives . So, if you think it’s a little fast for him to head back down there and reconnect with Gus and start dating him, maybe.

But then again, Leo didn’t wait too long before he got way too close to Dimitri, even though Leo kept refusing to do the deed and they didn’t cheat physically. I feel like that he cheated emotionally by getting so close to Dimitri. And then this week, Leo found out that Javi’s boyfriend, Gus, was in town and he reacted badly. First of all, Leo was making fun of his name and then was trying to stall Javi while he was trying to go meet Gus. And we know that Leo hates the idea of Javi being with this other man. But what’s he going to do?

Will Leo Sabotage Gus on DOOL?

Well, maybe something. Considering how hurt and jealous Leo was when he saw Gus and Javi kissing, I’m honestly expecting Leo might reach into his old bag of tricks and pull one of his sketchy moves. You know, he was quite the plotter and schemer back in the day. So, you can’t put anything past him, even though he’s been working with Marlena to try and be a better man.

If you remember, Leo kept asking how long Gus was going to be in town. And then he basically told Javi that Gus was being non-committal by only coming for a visit. But then after Javi told Gus about how Leo was acting and what he was saying, Gus assured Javi that he had lots of vacation days and was going to stay in Salem as long as he can. And then Javi offered up a long-term solution and he told Gus that there is a job opening at the fire station.

And after some more smooching and flirting, Gus agreed to apply for the job so he can stay in Salem with Javi for good. I’m assuming it’s a firefighter job because they were firefighters together in Texas and we’ve been hearing Gus referred to as firefighter Gus. And of course, Leo was lurking and stalking and listening to all this. So, you know, he was already counting the days till Javi’s boyfriend went back to Texas so that then he could try and get with Javi again. But now this is something Leo may not be able to stand by and watch happen.

Days of our Lives: Leo Sabotages Gus’ Job Application?

So we also know that JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) is wanting to stay in Salem and he wants to go back to being an EMT. Meanwhile, Gus is a firefighter. So we heard that this job opening mentioned by JJ and also by Javi. So I’m not sure if JJ and Gus would be vying for the same open position. If they are, I would expect that Leo might find out about JJ wanting the job from his boss, Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd), since Chad and JJ live under the same roof.

And Leo might find out and then do all he can to make sure that JJ gets the job and Gus does not. Then again, if JJ and Gus aren’t going after the same job, I would still expect Leo to find some way to sabotage Javi’s boyfriend. You know, Leo might go into the office, sneak around behind the desk, and just delete his application off the system or somehow tamper with it to make him look bad, call in a bad reference.

You know, there’s no telling what he would do. Since Leo’s certain that Javi is his soulmate, I am fully expecting that Leo has the potential to engage in some sort of shocking sabotage because as they say, all is fair in love and war and he wants Javi to be his guy again. Also in a month, don’t forget Jacob Martinez steps in as recast Javi right in the middle of this front burner storyline because Al Calderon has left Days of Our Lives.

Bruce Willis‘ reputation definitely precedes him, and it is for all the right reasons!

The actor’s co-star, Laurie Metcalf, revisited a touching memory from their past, speaking greatly about his kindness, patience, and regard for everyone, despite their age and status.

Bruce Willis continues to battle his frontotemporal dementia since the illness forced him to step away from acting in 2022 and subsequently led to his being moved to an intensive care home.

The actor’s Broadway co-star, Laurie Metcalf, confirmed that the actor will be remembered for more than his Hollywood stardom. Metcalf’s account encompassed his lifestyle of generosity, which characterized their time on “Misery.”

During her appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Metcalf recalled working alongside Willis in the 2015 stage adaptation of Stephen King’s thriller. She described the actor as someone who constantly went out of his way to make others feel appreciated.

According to Metcalf, the actor made a habit of surprising cast and crew members with thoughtful gifts throughout the production, but one significant gesture left a lasting impression on her heart. 

The actress recalled that she had mentioned her son would be paying them a visit on set backstage and had asked Willia for restaurant ideas. 

The actor reportedly did well to suggest Nobu, tagging it as one of his favorite spots. To her shock, after they were done experiencing a lavish meal, they discovered that Willis had cleared their tab. 

Laurie Metcalf Raved About The Actor’s Star Power

The prolific actress continued to pour in the admirable words about her pal and contemporary. She digressed to the topic of his amazing work ethic on the set of their production, where he spent hours in makeup and prosthetics to portray novelist Paul Sheldon.

Despite the fact that his character spent most of his time bedridden in the play, Metcalf stressed that Willis gave it so much life due to his sheer dedication. Despite the demanding role, the actor reportedly kept his warm, approachable composure, which earned him great respect from everyone around him.

Metcalf also referenced the role Willis’ star power played in making sure every night got sold out when people came to watch the Broadway production, with audiences often erupting in cheers whenever he appeared onstage.

The Emmy-winning actress affirmed that everyone was so happy to have him around, adding, “It was a weird hybrid between being a book and then a movie, and now a play. So it had some of the best and worst of everything – all jammed together.”

How The Family Is Adapting To Bruce Willis’ Dementia Diagnosis

Despite the effect of the actor’s diagnosis on his career, his family continues to embrace life with gratitude and optimism each day.

The actor’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, has since used her husband’s illness as a contact point to advocate for caregivers and also raise awareness about the realities of dementia. 

As noted by The Blast, Emma revealed that the family’s focus remains on finding joy in everyday moments and cherishing the time they spend together. However, managing Willis’ condition also comes with adjusting to a new reality and avoiding painting a negative picture around the illness. 

“You have to learn and adapt. Life goes on. Dementia is hard, but there is still joy in it. I think it’s important that we don’t paint such a negative picture around dementia,” Emma stated.

Willis has enjoyed tremendous support from his immediate family, consisting of his wife, daughters Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, whom he shares with Demi Moore, and Mabel and Evelyn, whom she shares with Emma. 

The Actor’s Daughter Finds Unexpected Grace In His Dementia Battle

This May, The Blast noted that Rumer opened up about the emotional realities of watching her father fight through his illness while uncovering interesting layers to his personality every day. 

During her recent appearance on “The Inside Edit” podcast with her close friend and stylist Maeve Reilly, the actress revealed how much life has changed since the actor’s first diagnosis in 2022.

While acknowledging that their family dynamic will never be the same, Rumer said she remains deeply grateful for the time they continue to share with the Hollywood icon. She’s also grateful for the opportunity to witness her three-year-old daughter, Louetta, spend time with Willis, knowing fully well that her siblings’ kids may never get to experience that.

Rumer also revealed that the disease has brought out a side of her father she had not fully seen before. Known for portraying tough, larger-than-life action heroes throughout his career, Willis has reportedly shown a new level of tenderness that is so sweet and moving.

Despite the heartbreak that comes with the realization that their lives have changed forever, Rumer admitted that the condition has uncovered a gentler version of the actor.

Bruce Willis’ Wife Turned His Diagnosis Into Hope With Fundraiser

During The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration’s Hope Rising Benefit in New York City, Emma accepted the Susan Newhouse and Si Newhouse Award of Hope on behalf of herself and Willis. 

As she stepped up to receive the award, Emma made it public that she was spearheading a major initiative aimed at funding ongoing research efforts towards dementia.

The fund, according to Emma, will advance awareness and understanding of FTD and also provide support to caregivers helping patients navigate the complexities of the disease.

Emma added that caring for a loved one living with FTD has given her a first-hand understanding of the emotional and practical realities their families experience every day.

Conveying her husband’s certain interest in the cause if things were different, Emma stated, “Bruce has always led with generosity and heart, and I know he would be proud to see this effort helping families facing this disease.”

Bruce Willis has built a good name for himself!

Mork and Mindy is secretly hiding one of the 70s sexiest episodes of sci-fi television. The Happy Days spin-off that turned Robin Williams into a star and “Nanu Nanu” into a hit catchphrase went into Fall Sweeps with a two-parter episode, “Mork vs. The Necrotons,” unlike anything the series had, or ever would do. Casting icon Raquel Welch as an alien invader will do that. “Mork vs. The Necrotons” turned Welch’s appeal into the focus of the episode by literally weaponizing it. 

Invasion Of The Super Models

The Necrotons are evil alien conquerors out to use Mork’s knowledge of Earth to add it to their empire. For the first half of “Mork vs. The Necrotons,” Mork is trying to hide from the evil aliens even though he has no idea what they look like. Mork explains to Mindy, “they only know three emotions: Hate, Lust, and Greed,” going on and on about how evil they are. It’s all to set up the gag when Raquel Welch walks in as Captain Nirvana with her two henchwomen, Karma (Debra Jo Fondren, Playboy’s 1978 Playmate of the Year) and Sutra (Vicki Frederick, a Broadway dancer who appeared on Dream On 11 years later), all clad in skintight spandex. 

Mork and Mindy was filmed in front of a live studio audience that loses their minds at the reveal, but that was just the start. Nirvana abducts Mork to their spaceship, an art-deco sci-fi set complete with a hot tub in the middle. Torturing Mork to get him to reveal what he knows about Earth involves him spending time in a hot tub with Kama and Sutra, before Nirvana takes matters into her own hands. The wolf whistles from the audience are enough to blow out your speakers. 

Robin Williams Vs. Jigglevision

Airing in November, 1979, “Mork vs. The Necrotons” is winking to the audience, and Robin Williams would say later that “a lot of little kids went through puberty watching that episode.” At the time, ABC was gaining a reputation for “jigglevision,” a catchy term for its penchant to stack shows with as much sex appeal as possible. Which Williams wasn’t a fan of, saying “we lost a lot of the audience.” 

Adding to the cast’s mixed feelings about the very different episode was Raquel Welch herself, who, the episode’s director Howard Storm described as “every director’s worst nightmare.” Allegedly, Welch was concerned over being upstaged by her two henchwomen, amping up her own performance to be as sexy as possible on broadcast television and asking that Kama and Sutra wear masks. Given the audience reaction to the moment when the two henchwomen drop their robes and wear the smallest bikinis then seen on ABC. 

Robin Williams and Pam Dawber (Mindy, and future wife of NCIS’ Mark Harmon) may have hated what Mork and Mindy became with “Mork vs. The Necrotons,” but the audience obviously loved it. Television was going through an awkward growth spurt during the late 70s before it would be changed forever in the 80s with the rise of prime-time soaps Dallas and Dynasty, and the decade-defining Miami Vice. Mork and Mindy isn’t often thought of as being on the cutting edge of television, but Williams’ manic energy, comedic timing, and episodes that broke sitcom conventions turned the series into an all-time classic. 

The news recently emerged that longtime cohost of “The View,” Joy Behar, would be taking some time away from the show. The rumor mill then ran rampant with theories; with many thinking she was either being phased out or working up to leave the show. Now, the 83-year-old host is making it clear that her time away isn’t a hiatus, nor a sign of something bigger.

During a May 2026 broadcast of “The View,” Behar took the opportunity to explain why fans won’t see her on the series for a couple of weeks. The talk show legend began, “There’s been a lot of media attention on me lately because I’m taking off the hiatus.”

After that, Behar rebuffed reports that she was going on hiatus, noting that she’s working while she’s away and that a hiatus usually means a break. According to her, “I have a planned trip overseas next week to work on my play, ‘My First EX Husband,’ in London.”

Joy Behar Says She’ll Miss The Viewers The Most

Behar continued her explanation for her impending absence from “The View.” First, she noted that her upcoming play isn’t her first and that she’s “written a bunch of plays,” before mentioning another one, “Bonkers in the Boroughs.”

After that, the comedian jokingly asked her cohosts if they would miss her during her non-hiatus. Naturally, they said they would before she stated, “Well, I will miss you too, and I will always miss the audience. That’s my thing.”

As they rolled to the show’s end credits, Behar reaffirmed that she would return in two weeks.

Some Fans Think There’s More To The Story

After Behar’s comments were shared on “The View” social media channels, fans of the hit ABC show began weighing in. Naturally, the majority of the comments were positive, but a few thought Behar’s upcoming two-week absence was mandated.

One person said on X, “You will be missed, but go kill it in London.” Another “View” fan said, “She is such an icon and inspo…to be over 80 and doing so many new things…it truly proves you are never too old for ANYTHING in this life!!!”

Someone else reacted, “Ok, phew bc I was behind on watching the show, and I’m like, what did I miss! Why is Joy leaving? Lol.” After that, another social media user chimmed in, “It’s just Fox faux news spreading tabloid crap as usual.”

Regarding positive comments, an Instagram user wrote, “Joy… We all love you very much. You are fantastic. You’re fabulous. You are a huge bundle of joy for all of us! We love you we love you. We love you.”

Lastly, a different person expressed doubt about her reasoning. They said, “Right, Behar, this has nothing to do with the network telling you to take a break from the show because of your wacky, embarrassing rantings. Sure.”

‘The View’ Is On A Ratings High

“The View” is currently in its 29th season on ABC. However, despite being on the air for so long, the series shows no sign of slowing down. According to The Wrap, the Behar co-hosted show recently had its strongest first-quarter ratings in five years.

The daytime talk show averaged 2.78 million viewers and an impressive 1.86 rating in households. That’s not all; it also achieved a five-year ratings high among women aged 25 to 54, with 225,000 eyeballs, as well as among women aged 18 to 49. The latter of the two demographics delivered 182,000 million viewers.

Who Will Fill In For Joy Behar

Behar announced her upcoming absences from “The View” on the show’s accompanying podcast, “Behind the Table.” During it, the show’s executive producer, Brian Teta, discussed how her absence will be handled regarding guest cohosts.

One of the names mentioned was comedian Sheryl Underwood, who has guest-hosted the show before. Additionally, Kara Swisher will host for a couple of days. Fans will also see more of Ana Navarro, who typically only hosts on Mondays and Fridays.

Young and the Restless spoilers for next week, include Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) shocking health crisis and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) mind is blown by a request out of left field.

Plus, a big hint that Dr. Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) is going to stick around for a good long time in Genoa City. We’ve got the latest Y&R spoilers for the week of June 1st through the 5th with big action for Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), for Matt Clark (Sean Dominic), Diane Jenkins, and lots more.

Nikki Newman’s Health Crisis on Young and the Restless

All right, first of all, let’s talk about Mrs. Nikki Newman. So, at the end of this week, she had a terrible nightmare when she fell asleep in her room at the GCAC. She dreamt that Nick was dead of an overdose. And honestly, he was clinically dead for a minute or two there. But then Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) dragged Nick back from the brink of death.

But all of this stress is definitely not doing Nikki any favors, and she hustled over to Victor Newman‘s (Eric Braeden) house to check in on Nick after his latest overdose. Nikki thinks Nick should still be in the hospital. Adam thinks his brother should be in rehab.

And Victor agrees. But Nick is on fire about Matt and wanting him punished. So, Nikki’s there and sees Nick’s irate reaction when he finds out that he would be dead as a doornail if not for Matt and Phyllis saving his life.

And of course, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), Victor, and the others still hate Matt and Phyllis for other things they’ve done. But in the end, they are all very thankful that Nick is still with them because of these two rogues. And Nikki’s happy that Nick is alive no matter who did the saving. But for his part, he’s disgusted and still ranting about Matt.

Nikki thinks that Nick needs to prioritize getting clean. And Victor finally says he’s only going to let Nick see Matt if he agrees to go to rehab after confronting him. And Nick agrees after griping about the amnesia basically blocking them getting closure.

Nick’s Struggles With His Addiction on Y&R

Speaking of Nick almost dying again, writer Josh Griffith recently said, “Surprisingly, this is not rock bottom for Nick. You’d think it is. But no. His struggles with addiction are far from over.” Josh Griffith said Nick’s not having some epiphany where he’s just going to miraculously turn his life around. And Josh Griffith also said even if Nick is facing his addiction, that doesn’t mean that he is going to beat it, which is kind of interesting because in the real world it’s not a simple thing.

So, the writer said that Joshua Morrow’s character will get treatment for his addiction. But there are going to be stumbles ahead. However, he said that Nick is hard hit by this latest overdose and it reminds him that life is fragile and the Newmans are also impacted by watching him overdose, die. And then come right back.

Even worse, again, it’s all thanks to Matt and Phyllis that he’s alive. The writer said some of the family is going to be actually angry at Nick for letting things get this far. But a silver lining is that Adam and Nick will get lots closer and they are going to be true meaningful brothers at long last.

The guys take Nick to rehab while Nikki’s headache comes back. This is at the end of the week and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) is suggesting that it’s a migraine headache and Phyllis shows up and Nikki thanks her for saving Nick despite all the despicable things Phyllis has done to them lately.

Young and the Restless: Nikki Heaeded for a Health Crisis

And then in Young and the Restless spoilers for next week, we’re going to see that Nikki is still having these really terrible headaches. She tells Victoria that she’s gotten migraines like this before and that her doctor’s probably going to say they’re just a symptom of her MS. Nikki says to her daughter that she’s already taking medication for her MS. But Victoria is wondering if it might be something more serious. And it may be.

I think something major is going to happen to Nikki to change the dynamic with her and Victor and force him to realize he’s got to stop acting like this. I think Nick almost dying again is already starting to shake Victor into maybe having a little more sense where his family’s concerned.

Adam Acting Out Over Sally’s News on Y&R

Meanwhile, this week we saw that Adam didn’t take it well when Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) told him that he and Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) are engaged, building a life together, all that. But what really ticked off Adam was when Billy dropped the baby bomb, that Sally’s pregnant. And how thrilled they are. Adam is certain that Billy’s gonna screw things up and hurt Sally and will be a terrible dad. And when Adam told Chelsea that Billy said they were engaged and pregnant, Chelsea understood Adam being triggered because of him and Sally losing their daughter, Ava.

But Adam starts acting out next week, as the headwriter warned in a recent interview, when he said that Adam would have inappropriate reactions to this Sally news and Adam basically feels the need to protect Sally and her unborn child even though very clearly that is not Adam’s responsibility.

So, the weirdness begins the week of June 1st when he talks to Chelsea and is saying what a great job that they have done raising Connor. And then Adam asked Chelsea if she ever considered having another baby. And that coming out of Adam’s mouth is going to drop Chelsea’s jaw. Obviously, Adam’s sudden interest in having another child with Chelsea is about finding out that Sally’s pregnant with Billy’s baby. I don’t think Chelsea is going to have a very positive reaction to Adam’s question. And knowing Chelsea, she will confront Adam about him being jealous of Billy and basically trying to recreate what they’ve got going in that other relationship.

Dr. Stephanie Simmons Staying In Genoa City

Also, we have some big news about Holden Novak’s (Nathan Owens) mama, Dr. Stephanie Simmons. Next week, she tells Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) that the board of directors of Genoa City Memorial Hospital called her about their search for a new chief of staff. And Stephanie says somebody put her name into the hat. And Nate says that he’s the one who did it.

Now, we know that Vivica Fox was going to be sticking around, so this twist makes perfect sense. It’s too bad we also can’t keep Shemar Moore around as Malcolm Winters long term. But we can expect to see lots more of Stephanie and her with Holden and his girlfriend Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin).

Lily And Cane Working Together on Young and Restless

Also, there are some new spoilers about what’s coming for Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn). Brand new Young and the Restless info says that Billy gets a critical piece of information and from there Cane and Lily work together trying to stop Billy from going after something he really wants.

So, the two things that we know he wants that he should leave alone are getting revenge on Victor and getting his hands on Chancellor. These spoilers are for June at large. We don’t have specific dates. But we do know that Jill Abbott is in Genoa City later in June. But she’ll be played by recast actress Lauren Koslow). So, I’m wondering if Billy finds out that Victor promised Chancellor to Lily and then didn’t deliver because Jill might come back to make sure that Victor keeps his word and hands it over to Lily.

Young and the Restless: Lily Fights Billy for Chancellor

And of course, she wants it to wind up in Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) hands instead of Billy finding some way to finagle it into his own hands. Chancellor is to Billy like fentanyl is to Nick, something that they are both deeply addicted to. Check back for our detailed Young and the Restless weekly spoilers for June 1st through the 5th coming tomorrow, plus our weekly predictions, two week spoilers. And lots more for your favorite CBS soap.
