The new guests just keep arriving at The White Lotus. The fourth season of HBO’s acclaimed dark dramedy anthology is adding another notable name to its cast. Actor and comedian Sandra Bernhard will be jetting off to France with the rest of the show’s new cast.

According to reports, Bernhard’s role, like that of her fellow new cast members, is being kept under wraps for now. She joins Helena Bonham Carter (Fight Club), Steve Coogan (I’m Alan Partridge), Caleb Jonte Edwards (Black Snow), Alexander Ludwig (The Hunger Games), Chris Messina (The Mindy Project), AJ Michalka (The Goldbergs), and newcomer Marissa Long. Like all previous seasons, the series will be set at a luxury resort operated by the fictional White Lotus corporation; judging by the previous three seasons, season 4 will likely also climax with the death of a guest or staff member. After previous seasons took place in Hawaii, Italy, and Thailand, this season will move the action to France; it will be filmed at a 19th-century palace-turned-luxury hotel, the Château de La Messardière, in Saint-Tropez on the Côte d’Azur. It will also film in Paris and on the French Riviera, and may coincide with the Cannes Film Festival.

Who Is Sandra Bernhard?

A native of Flint, Michigan, Bernhard began to gain attention as a stand-up comedian in the late 1970s; she became a household name when Martin Scorsese cast her as obsessive stalker Masha in 1981’s The King of Comedy. She was a frequent guest on Late Night with David Letterman, and often collaborated with her close friend and fellow Michigander Madonna. Openly bisexual, she recurred on Roseanne as Nancy, one of the first bisexual characters on American network television. Other notable film roles include Hudson Hawk, Babes, and last year’s A24 hit Marty Supreme. She has also recurred on The L Word, Brooklyn Nine-Nine (as the mother of Chelsea Peretti‘s character), and 2 Broke Girls. She recently starred on AppleTV’s Severance as Nurse Cecily, and guested on Percy Jackson and the Olympians as Anger, one of the Gray Sisters.

The White Lotus is created, written, and directed by one-man band Mike White. Initially intended as a miniseries, its smash success in its first season resulted in its expansion into an anthology series, following a new group of guests and staff members every season. It has won 16 Primetime Emmy Awards to date.

Season 4 of The White Lotus is in pre-production; no release date has yet been announced. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

Quinton Aaron couldn’t move and was “shaking uncontrollably” when his “spiritual wife” called 911 for help ahead of his hospitalization last month.

In the 911 call obtained exclusively by Us Weekly, Margarita — who is not identified in the audio but confirms with Us she made the emergency call for firefighters and paramedics — detailed the frightening moments that led to The Blind Side actor being rushed to the hospital where he was put on life support.

“My husband is six-foot-eight, 370 pounds. He’s laying on the floor, and he’s shaking,” Margarita, who is not legally married to the star, told the 911 operator. “His upper body is shaking uncontrollably, and he can’t feel his legs.”

Margarita held her composure, calmly telling the operator, “He has no mobility. He’s telling me he can’t move. And he’s literally laying on the floor, like he’s dead weight. I’m gonna need some help.”

She then informed the 911 operator that Quinton’s “body locked up on him and his jaw and his eyes rolled back just a little bit.” She said he told her, “’I can’t move, can’t move,’” as she shared, “He could barely talk.”

“He said it feels like his throat is closing up on him,” she told the operator.

When asked whether he might be having an allergic reaction, Margarita informed the 911 operator that Quinton, 41, hadn’t been drinking or eating much and noted, “He’s missed dinner all this week” due to his back pain.

According to her, Quinton had been taking an anti-inflammatory for the pain, but it wasn’t helping.

“I haven’t been asleep for like three days because we’ve been dealing with his back pain for a few days, and today, it just took a toll for the worse,” she said on the call.

While waiting for help to arrive, Margarita addressed Quinton directly.

“I’m gonna put socks on you, but I don’t know if I can because you keep jerking. I’m trying to get all this done, Quinton,” she told him.

Quinton Aaron’s family is sharing an update on The Blind Side actor’s health days after he was hospitalized and put on life support. In a statement obtained by Us Weekly on Thursday, January 29, the family said Aaron, 41, suffered a “spinal stroke.” “We acknowledge that you’ve heard about Quinton Aaron’s condition. We appreciate the […]

After the call was made, the actor was put on life support at an Atlanta hospital. His family later shared he had suffered a “spinal stroke.”

Sources close to Quinton’s loved ones exclusively told Us last week that Margarita had been “banned” from his hospital room while they investigate their suspicions of her further. (On February 3, his relatives publicly questioned the legitimacy of the pair’s marriage and accused Margarita of not being a registered nurse, as well as being married to someone other than Quinton.)

“We are spiritually married. We are tied as one,” she confirmed to Us following their allegations.

When asked about her hospital ban, Margarita responded, “I’m OK with it, I’m at peace with this. Quinton and I pray a lot and believe in God and believe in a higher power. I can feel his presence telling me this will work itself out.”

Days later, Quinton’s family gave a positive health update ahead of the Super Bowl.

“Quinton is in a jovial mood, now laughing and smiling and is communicating to the best of his ability while he continues to recover,” his loved ones said in a statement on February 6. “He’s watching TV and getting ready to root for his favorite team this weekend.”

Quinton is best known for his portrayal of former NFL offensive lineman Michael Oher in The Blind Side. Tim McGraw, Lily Collins and Sandra Bullock also starred in the 2009 film.

There’s good news for fans still mourning S.W.A.T. after CBS dissolved the squad last year. However, the news isn’t all good. S.W.A.T. Exiles, a new spin-off series that will star the returning Shemar Moore, has wrapped filming its inaugural season. There’s only one problem: it doesn’t have a “home base” yet.

According to reports, no TV channel or streaming service has yet acquired the series. However, the series is apparently attempting to follow in the footsteps of recent streaming hits Heated Rivalry and The Hunting Wives, both of which were fully completed series that didn’t find a home until they were in the can…and then went on to become big hits for content-hungry streaming services. While homoerotic hockey drama Heated Rivalry went to HBO Max and the steamy, soapy Hunting Wives found a home on Netflix, it’s Prime Video and the Fox TV network that have expressed interest in housing S.W.A.T. Exiles. The series will be screened by production company Sony for both domestic and international buyers in the coming weeks and days, when it will likely find a home.

What Is ‘S.W.A.T. Exiles’ About?

Picking up where S.W.A.T. left off after its season 8 series finale, S.W.A.T. Exiles stars Moore as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson Jr., a veteran of the Special Weapons And Tactics squad. Retired after the conclusion of S.W.A.T., he’s pulled back into action after a high-profile mission goes sideways, and assigned to lead an experimental new S.W.A.T. team full of raw and untested recruits. It will star Lucy Barrett (Charmed), Adain Bradley (The Bold and the Beautiful), Zyra Gorecki (La Brea), Freddy Miyares (Grey’s Anatomy) and Ronen Rubinstein (9-1-1: Lone Star). Guest stars will include Rebecca Romijn (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds), Jerry O’Connell (Sliders), and Selma Blair (Cruel Intentions); Lenora Crichlow (Bel Air) will recur. Meanwhile, several of Moore’s S.W.A.T. squad mates will be joining him in guest roles, including Victor Tan (David Lim), David “Deacon” Kay (Jay Harrington), and Robert Hicks (Patrick St. Esprit).

S.W.A.T. is a remake of a short-lived 1970s TV series; created by mega-producer Aaron Spelling, it was popular, but was swiftly cancelled as part of a backlash against violence on television. The reborn S.W.A.T., which debuted on CBS in 2017, ran into cancellation problems of its own; it was cancelled by CBS after its sixth and seventh seasons, but was swiftly renewed instead both times, although its third cancellation proved to be permanent. The series also inspired a 2003 film starring Samuel L. Jackson and Colin Farrell.

S.W.A.T. Exiles has completed filming its first season; it has not yet found a broadcast or streaming home. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

General Hospital reveals Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) being held prisoner by his angry wife, Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), which frankly he deserves. I think we can all agree on that. But eventually, somebody is going to figure it out. Katelyn MacMullen said that it was all going to come out in a recent interview she did. And it was going to lead to the worst moment of Willow’s life.

We’re going to talk about what unlikely person rescues Drew in a big twist coming on General Hospital.

Willow Tait’s Revenge: The Dark Truth Behind Drew Cain’s Medical Crisis on General Hospital

All right, let’s dig into the messiness ahead. So, right now, Drew is in his own home with a hospital bed all set up. And Willow’s telling everybody she’s going to take really, really good care of him. But then once she got Drew settled in, Willow wasted no time, and she went off on Drew. Absolutely shocked him.

She unleashed everything she’s been holding in. Willow has been pretending to still be in love with Drew, to be loyal to him. And playing the devoted wife. It was pretty glorious when Willow told Drew she’s the one who shot him twice in the back, but of course he survived, which was not her plan at the time.

Willow blamed Drew for his own shooting and for what’s happening now and said she really tried to find another solution, but she couldn’t. And Willow then read off a big laundry list of his foul deeds and crimes. She called out Drew for everything, including sabotaging her visit with Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) when she went to the clinic in Germany.

Then Willow brought up that awful incident that upset Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Viron Weaver) when he let the kid hear him lying and saying Michael didn’t want him around now that he had baby Daisy. On top of that, Willow told Drew that her only regret was he didn’t die when she shot him. That was awesome.

Willow also told Drew he didn’t have a stroke. Willow drugged him into collapsing, faked the stroke. And she’s causing Drew’s locked-in syndrome. She plans to keep drugging him to keep Drew paralyzed and in that bed until Willow decides she’s done with him.

Will Jason Morgan Rescue His Twin Brother on GH?

Of course, General Hospital fans are loving that Drew’s finally being punished for all the rotten things he’s done to so many people. But we also know eventually he is going to be saved. But hopefully not too soon. I’d like to see Willow torment him for a little while before he’s saved.

Now let’s talk about a big GH twist I expect to see. I suspect it’ll be a real bombshell when the ABC soap reveals who saves Drew and ends the misery of his captivity and torture at Willow’s hands. I suspect it will be somebody very unlikely who rides to his rescue. Somebody whose help he doesn’t deserve.

The first possibility as Drew’s improbable savior is his twin brother Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). These two hate each other, but him saving Drew could go a long way to rebuilding their bond as brothers. I think that we could see something like Drew using Morse code to signal Jason with his eyes to let him know he’s a prisoner.

Drew was a Navy SEAL, so he should absolutely know Morse code. That’s the sort of thing I also think Jason probably has picked up since he worked in that paramilitary group Pikeman for those couple of years. If it is him that saves Drew, that’d be a game-changer. Maybe in the end he and Jason could become real brothers in a way that they never have been before.

Kai’s Suspicions Could Expose Willow’s Deadly Medication Scheme on General Hospital

Another person I suspect might save Drew is actually someone who’s likely to save him. Unlike the other people on my list, we could see Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) saving Drew because he’s already suspicious of Willow. Kai might look at the medications that Willow has sitting around that room and just do some googling and research.

Since Kai knows that Willow is the one who shot Drew, he is worried that Willow may hurt Drew while he is stuck in that bed. So even though Kai doesn’t like Drew anymore, he’s still going to look out for him because Kai’s a good guy.

He told Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) he can’t just leave Drew alone with his murderous wife Willow. I could totally see Kai figuring out that Willow is doing something with the medications, and then Kai might alert somebody else and then together they save Drew.

The Ultimate Irony: Could Michael Corinthos Be the One to Free Drew Cain on GH?

Another really unlikely person that might save Drew is Michael. That would be the ultimate irony. If he found out that Willow was torturing Drew, I think Michael might consider for a minute just letting it go on given that Drew stole his wife and his life and that he wants Michael in prison.

But in the end, I think he would save Drew if he figured out what Willow was doing. Primarily because if Michael exposed Willow, he could permanently block her from seeing their kids. Even if she can’t be prosecuted for shooting Drew, the custody court would absolutely consider it if there was that confession and Drew said, “Okay, Willow confessed it to me.”

Tracy Quartermaine: Will She Save Her Nephew a Second Time on General Hospital?

Another really unlikely person that might save Drew from Willow is another person that really hates Drew, his aunt Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot). She already saved Drew once when Willow shot him because Tracy showed up. She called the ambulance and got him the help he needed.

Now, she may save Drew a second time. But like Michael, if Tracy found out Willow was tormenting Drew, she might decide to leave him to suffer at Willow’s hands for a little while longer and then go back in and save Drew. If it is Tracy who rescues Drew, I don’t think that she would do it for his sake.

I think Tracy would do it to help Michael keep Willow away from the kids. Also, Tracy might like to hold it over Drew’s head for the rest of his life that no matter how awful he is, Tracy saved his life not once but twice. Drew might actually then make amends with the Quartermaines, beg forgiveness, and be a better human.

Ned’s Compassion vs. Drew Cain’s Past Betrayal

The last person who might save Drew to me would be one of the most unlikely given recent events, and that is Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth). That would be the ultimate irony since Drew stood there over him while Ned was lying on the ground in agonizing pain having a coronary, and of course Drew didn’t lift a finger to help.

Instead, he accused Ned of faking the heart attack and walked away. All the Quartermaines are furious about this. So Drew better hope it’s Ned who finds out he’s trapped at Willow’s mercy. Because if Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) found out, I think she would walk away, never look back, wouldn’t tell anybody, and wouldn’t save Drew.

But I could see Ned going over there to visit Drew, to see for himself what’s going on, if he’s really trapped inside his own body, and check on his cousin because Ned has compassion. If he realizes that Willow is keeping Drew prisoner and medicating him to keep that paralysis going, I do think that Ned would do the right thing.

He might consider leaving Drew to his fate, but I think Tracy and Olivia are more likely ones to leave Drew to wallow in captive misery than to save him. But Ned is a good guy. He’s a forgiving person, and I think he would absolutely save Drew.

General Hospital Predictions: Redemption for Drew & a Permanent Villain Arc for Willow?

I think Tracy probably would save him, too. But Olivia, nah, I think she would laugh at Drew and close the door behind her on the way out. I feel like this whole ordeal in the end is meant to demonize Willow, make her into a permanent villain, and to redeem Drew. I don’t think fans are necessarily going to ever accept him, but I think that’s the plan of the writers.

So, having somebody that Drew has done dirty wind up saving him, of course, would be the soapiest outcome. My favorite choices to save Drew are either Michael or Jason. I think that would be the biggest drama. We’ll see how it goes.

The Influencer Lamented Not Having A Boyfriend

Bold and the Beautiful has Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) really wanting to be together, but they are coming across obstacles at every turn. Right now, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) just read Taylor Hayes the riot act, and now she’s having second thoughts.

But she and Deacon Sharpe are going to be back on very soon despite this little hiccup. And from there, we know that Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) is going to find out that Deacon has fallen in love with Taylor and that Deacon wants to divorce Sheila so he can be with Taylor. When that happens, I think Sheila’s first instinct will be to go ballistic.

Deacon Sharpe and Taylor Hayes’ Romance Faces a Ridge Forrester Ultimatum on Bold and the Beautiful

All right, so right now it looks like Ridge has Taylor convinced she cannot be with Deacon because if she is, Sheila will target not only Taylor, but also Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and the kids. I mean, really, anybody close to Taylor will be at risk, but I don’t think Ridge’s ultimatum is going to stop Taylor for good.

I do think Deacon and Taylor are going to fight for their love. Recently, we saw Deacon and Taylor profess their love to each other, and they decided they wanted to be together despite the danger from Sheila. Taylor specifically said she’s not afraid of Sheila, and that she won’t live in fear because Deacon is the man for her.

Taylor even told Steffy about her feelings for Deacon. And that is of course when Steffy threw that ultimatum at her mom and threatened to kick Taylor out of her and her kids’ lives. But that barely slowed Taylor up. Let’s be real.

Sheila Carter Set to Discover the Betrayal During February Sweeps on B&B

Now Ridge is relentlessly nagging Taylor Hayes. And it looks like Ridge got to her. But I think Taylor is going to backtrack the moment she sees Deacon Sharpe and he kisses her and takes her in his arms and says, “We’ll figure it out.”

As many times as Ridge has let Taylor down, I don’t think she’s going to pass up this shot at a forever kind of love and commitment. And we do know from a recent interview with Kimberlin Brown that Sheila is definitely going to find out and then there will be hell to pay for Deacon, for Taylor, and maybe some others.

I think Deacon and Taylor are going to decide that they will face the consequences head-on together. That way, if nothing else, then they still have each other. I’m pretty sure Sheila Carter is going to find out about them towards the end of February sweeps, which wraps up on February 25th, by the way.

Financial Consequences and the Divorce Fight for Il Giardino on Bold

So, I want to talk about the epic fallout that Deacon Sharpe and Taylor Hayes are going to face when Sheila Carter finds out that Taylor stole her man. The first thing I can see is Sheila making a huge scene at Il Giardino that would embarrass her husband.

Since Deacon and Sheila are married and I don’t recall her signing a prenup, she may hit Deacon’s right where it hurts – in the assets. Deacon is planning to relaunch Bikini Bar and Dollar Bill (Don Diamont) is going to invest in him expanding the business.

Instead of going at Deacon Sharpe with a gun, maybe Sheila Carter just takes half of Il Giardino and once she finds out about Bikini Bar, which Deacon is keeping a secret right now, Sheila may snatch half of that, too. I mean, that’s the way most Los Angeles divorces work.

The guy cheats, and then the wife hits him in the wallet, takes half his cash, his homes, the cars, and then goes and gets a facelift and gets her groove back. I mean, of all the outcomes, Taylor and Deacon should actually prefer consequences that are strictly financial in nature. That would be getting off really cheap rather than Sheila trying to hurt them.

Taylor Hayes Risks Her Medical License and Professional Reputation on Bold and the Beautiful

Another set of consequences we could see are for Taylor. It is absolutely unethical to date your patient as Ridge Forrester was just about. But Deacon was quick to tell Ridge, “Oh, I’m no longer her patient.”

Here’s the thing. I’m sure Taylor knows this, but I’ll tell you guys, because I did a little research. As a psychiatrist, it is unethical to ever date a former patient. If she was just a therapist, like with a master’s degree or a PhD, that would be one thing.

Because she’s an MD, that’s totally different. If she was a therapist and a PhD person, there’s a two-year minimum waiting period to date a former patient. But as an actual MD doctor, which Taylor is, then Deacon is technically permanently off limits to Taylor or she could lose her license on Bold and the Beautiful.

Sheila could destroy Taylor’s professional reputation for sleeping with a patient. Probably get her fired. I can even see Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) helping Sheila do this because Li hates cheaters since she was married to Jack Finnegan (Ted King) who, you know, ironically cheated with Sheila. Plus, Li is a doctor, so I’m sure she dislikes when other doctors do unethical things. Even though Li is the queen of unethical out-of-hospital resurrections, she might feel like it’s her duty to report Taylor.

Steffy Forrester’s Threat to Ban Taylor Hayes from Her Grandkids on B&B

The third fallout scenario could be really, really bad. Steffy Forrester may follow through on her ultimatum and kick Taylor Hayes out of her life, and she may block her mom from seeing the grandkids, which would also be ironic since Steffy has barred Sheila from Finn (Tanner Novlan) and their kids’ lives.

Now that would be Steffy basically putting Taylor in the same category as Sheila. So, that would definitely sting. And of course, Ridge Forrester is siding 100% with Steffy, and he approves of the ultimatum. But Taylor may decide that Steffy will calm down eventually and get over it if Sheila will accept the divorce and move on and doesn’t go nuts.

Hope Logan and Deke Sharpe Attempt to Reason with Sheila Carter

A fourth possible outcome is that Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) and Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) go to work on Sheila Carter and try to stop her from going nuts. Deke has made it very clear he doesn’t want Deacon with Sheila and will never accept his dad being with her.

Deke told her again this week and that’s when Sheila cracked the joke about killing him if he got between her and Deacon. And Deke didn’t find it funny. Her stepson didn’t like that at all. I do think he and Hope Logan would confront Sheila and tell her, “You better not hurt our dad. Just accept the divorce. Let Deacon move on peacefully,” because if Sheila hurts Deacon, I’m sure that Deke and Hope would make sure that she is arrested and prosecuted.

Deacon’s kids might remind Sheila Carter that she’s always saying she’s changed and now is when she can prove it. Plus, Hope and Deke might mention that if Sheila physically hurts Taylor Hayes or Deacon Sharpe, she’ll spend the rest of her life in prison. They may try and reason with her and get Sheila to just move on with dignity.

A Deadly Replay: Will Sheila Carter’s Rage Turn Violent Again on Bold and the Beautiful

All right, fifth and final. Let’s talk about the absolute worst-case scenario, the worst fallout, the one that Steffy is really scared of. And that could be that Sheila finds out that Deacon’s fallen in love with Taylor and Sheila flips back to her old psycho self and turns violent.

Sheila could come gunning for Taylor l and Deacon tries to stop her, gets in the way and it could be a replay of the whole Steffy/Finn situation. We could see Sheila aiming a gun at Taylor and Deacon jumps in the way and takes a bullet and then Sheila goes ahead and shoots Taylor also like she did Steffy, remember?

Then she runs off and leaves Deacon and Taylor to bleed out like she did Steffy and Finn. It would be an absolute repeat of the past. And Brad Bell loves to repeat plots. In the end, I expect Sheila won’t get away with killing them. They will survive, but she may try.

If she does, I think Taylor and Deacon would survive. But Sheila’s rage and heartbreak are going to be terrifying to reckon with. Let’s just hope for the outcome that’s not that worst-case scenario.

The 2010 TV series Spartacus set the standard for ancient Rome/gladiator-centered stories on the small screen. Up to that point, ambitious storytelling was limited to feature films like the 2003 epic Gladiator. Spartacus became a global phenomenon as the gladiators tore through Roman society to free others from slavery. In 2024, eleven years had passed since fans had seen a good gladiator story on television. Those About to Die premiered on 18th July 2024 and immediately scratched that eleven-year itch. Made for the fledgling American streaming service Peacock, Those About to Die broke barriers when it went global on Prime Video, becoming one of the most talked about shows of that year. Two years later, Those About to Die is still showing signs of life.

Streaming data from FlixPatrol shows the Iwan Rheon-led drama experiencing renewed interest on another streaming service, Starz, which is fitting given that Starz is where Spartacus calls home. There is also a huge appetite for the ambitious series in Arabic-speaking countries. There is also significant interest in Nigeria, as Those About to Die is in the top ten most-watched shows on Amazon. Those About to Die follows a large ensemble of characters who find themselves in the city of dreams and ambition, Rome, through various means. It examines the disparities in life between the ordinary resident and the aristocratic elite in the context of Roman politics and entertainment.

‘Those About to Die’ Remains In Limbo

Two years later, the show has never been officially cancelled or renewed despite series director and executive producer Roland Emmerich expressing the desire to continue the story. “We have this idea to do a Godfather Part II model. Meaning, Godfather 1 was this perfect movie, and they said, “What should we do?” They went into the past,” he said in an interview. “You show how all this came to be, that Domitian (Jojo Macari) became emperor, and that gets his son in trouble because he’s related to him. They go after him and he survives. Then, on the other hand, tell the story of all these characters and what happens further. I don’t want to give that away.”

And while Those About to Die might not have satisfied that hunger fully, the Spartacus universe recently came back to life with the offshoot Spartacus: House of Ashur. It is an alternate-history reimagining of events where Ashur didn’t die and became the Dominus of his own house. Season 1 concluded last week, and the show has shown great potential with a 91% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, in addition to topping streaming charts.
