It’s time for a Big Brother live feeds update including Rick Devens giving Drew Campbell a big hand in the game including a cheat code he may need soon. Plus, we have Angela Murray’s birthday madness, the scramble to save Kamu Kirk, and Yash Patel hitting on the ladies again.

Big Brother: Veto Meeting Let Down

Let’s start with the fallout from the veto meeting where Devens put his Diamond Power of Veto around Dee Valladares’s neck. That was after Yash didn’t use his regular power of veto.

Devens took down Dee and renommed Kamu. We were hoping for fireworks given the blindside move Devens made but nope. Angela said “Everyone’s taking it well”. And Dee said, “I hate that everyone’s taking it well.”

She wanted to see fights. But instead, it was literal crickets. There were hours of almost no talking, while the houseguests napped and sunned in the yard without touching on the veto shocker.

Big Brother 28: It’s Birthday time!

After that snooze fest, Taylor Brown cooked gyros for everyone for Angela’s birthday. And Lala Verrett made cake. Then, Taylor played emcee for Angela’s talent show. Kamu initially didn’t play along.

He said he was just an audience member. Dee fell over trying to do a handstand. Mallory Aurichio did a backroll then said the Declaration of Independence and alphabet backwards at top speed.

Yash did a bad magic trick. He tossed a blanket and said close your eyes then ran across the yard to hide. The best part of the bad magic was when Yash said he hates doing the trick because people bug him asking how did you do that?

Lala did a handstand in the middle of the yard, perfectly balanced. Barrett Pfeiffer, Mallory and Melody Morris did a mediocre birthday song. Haley Thogmartin demonstrated her softball arm. Devens contribution was hidden by production so I expect we’ll see it on the episode.

Big Brother: The Under Cooked Roast

Kamu finally decided to play and demonstrated some MMA moves on Drew, picking him up and manhandling him. Melody’s roast was meh. She said, “Angela, if you’re here, who’s losing first round in every competition?”

That got laughs. Melody mentioned when she first met Angela she was crying a lot and thought it was just the egg costume, but that’s just how she is. And the last joke was just a compliment. Taylor would’ve roasted Angela much better.

Lala sang a pretty birthday song for Angela. And everyone sang and gave her love and Angela said her 53rd was the most perfect birthday ever. It was all kumbaya and distracted everyone from the surprising veto meeting.

Big Brother 28: Dee & Devens’ Damage Control with Allies

Dee did some clean-up and told Barrett about her bribe power. Devens told Mallory and Melody-Drew that he made the DPOV move for them and their mosh pit alliance group.

Devens said he was good with Kamu, but this is what’s best for the group. Then the scramble for votes kicked off with Haley again not campaigning. Yash is working hard to save Kamu harder than Kamu is if I’m being honest.

Yash and Kamu worked on Mallory to join their side and pitched an alliance of everyone in the house besides the three vets and said they can run that to jury. I mean true, but good luck.

Kamu told Mallory about Dee’s bribe power but Yash lied and told Mallory that Dee was bribing him to nominate her and Melody. In my recollection, Dee asked to keep her and Angela off the block. And then just herself.

I remember Dee suggesting Drew as an alt but not the littles. Mallory told Yash all the reasons to take Kamu out now. Yash is fighting it. Taylor pitched to Mallory that keeping Kamu or Haley to go after the icons is smart.

But Mallory said we don’t need them to do that. And she told Taylor this is our shot to get Kamu out without getting much blood on our hands.

Big Brother: Is Kamu Toast or will Bro Code Save Him?

Haley tried to get Kamu worked up about being on the block but he said: “it’s Big Brother, had to happen. I think it’s kinda cool how it happened”. Later, Kamu threw Haley under the bus to Dee. So Kamu’s trying to stay.

Taylor did some self-motivation saying, “None of it is personal but game mode is officially turned on.” Also Yash told Barrett and Mallory they should have votes to save Kamu. He’s clueless.

However, Mallory wants to tell Yash before the vote that they’re sending Kamu out if he doesn’t win the blockbuster. Yash is now pushing to get Angela out when before, he didn’t want her to go.  Yash’s got to save the bro.

Icon Backlash on BB28

Mallory and Yash griped about Dee getting a power. He and Mallory complained about how bad she did at the puzzle and they talked about how he helped her then got nominated.

Yash and Mallory suspect if Dee doesn’t use the $5k bribe she gets to keep it. Mallory slammed Dee for not winning anything since HOH week 1. They ranted about her already winning Survivor, saying she shouldn’t win this.

Too bad Dee’s not on the block. But now they know if they nominate her, Devens can’t save her again. Also in a Melody, Yash, Kamu talk, Yash was stunned that Devens really had the Diamond POV and said some expletives.

Yash cursed him for not holding onto that until next week. Kamu said, “As soon as he was like, this veto ceremony is far from over, I thought, I’m going up”. Melody said she thought Devens was joking.

Kamu asked Drew to let him know if he doesn’t have the votes to stay. Mind you, Kamu was lying to Drew’s face when he was on the block fully planning to help evict him.

Big Brother: Haley’s Antics

Haley has a fit about something bizarre. Drew and Haley yard-walked and she doesn’t want to go to the jury house. She said she’d go crazy. Drew asked do you know what it’s like then explained it’s a villa with a pool.

You can watch movies, have your own room and bathroom. Haley said she can’t be cooped up. Umm. Isn’t that Big Brother. She told Drew she can’t be alone in the house for a week.

He said Haley might enjoy it and she snapped and said she’s done talking about it. Drew asked what if you’re the second person? Haley threatened to hit him. By the way, Drew’s still fully ratting to the vets.

He talked to Kamu then took it back to Dee and said Kamu told him part of me wants to win the Blockbuster but the other part of me wants Haley to win. He said he wants to sit on the block and prove to the icons the house is riding with him and not them.

Kamu said he wants to prove they’re not scared of the icons. Drew said he told Kamu, yeah bro, you should let Haley win because I don’t know if she stays against Angela.

Matchmaking in the BB28 House

In fun feeds stuff, Yash is soliciting women to be his wife, said they should send him a kiwi emoji. Said you might be my wife, enter my life, and hop in the DMs. The HOH group teased him and said that pitch must’ve gotten at least three.

Big Brother 28: The Devens Cheat Code

Just like he taught Drew to tie a tie, daddy Devens has another lesson for his TV son. He coached Drew on how to land a power in the BB Time Capsule instead of a punishment.

Although we know Drew really wants a punishment because he wants the attention. So, Devens told Drew you can spin a long time on the chair if you want, there’s no limit. He said there’s more powers than punishments now.

Devens told Drew to focus on one power square and then spin till he memorizes the pattern of what lights up before and after it because it’ll be consistent. Then you slap the button.

They suspect the time capsule winner will be Barrett, maybe Drew or perhaps Yash. I’m betting Drew. Also in other weird feeds stuff, for Mallory and Melody’s amusement, Barrett and Drew were reenacting scenes from the movie The Challengers.

As of today, Netflix subscribers worldwide have officially been treated to one of the best military dramas on television. As announced in January, the war series is part of a licensing agreement between Netflix and Paramount Global, which also brings shows like Taylor Sheridan’s Mayor of Kingstown and the medical drama Watson to the streamer. It should, however, be noted that only one major show, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, debuted on Netflix back in June as part of this deal.

From creator Benjamin Cavell and produced by CBS, the military series originally aired from September 27, 2017, to October 31, 2021, covering its first four seasons and parts of Season 5. The following month, the hit show made a highly publicized transition to streaming with the rest of Season 5 and the final two seasons streaming exclusively on Paramount+. During its CBS run, it was a solid ratings success in total viewers early on but later declined, prompting its move to streaming, where it performed adequately but not enough to prevent cancellation.

Starting today, August 18, 2026, all seven seasons of SEAL Team are streaming on Netflix in most regions worldwide, including the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and Latin America, among others. This is a dream come true for many fans who don’t have access to Paramount+ and have missed significant parts of the series. Leading the action drama is TV icon David Boreanaz as Master Chief Special Warfare Operator Jason Hayes, and he is joined by Max Thieriot, Neil Brown Jr., A.J. Buckley, Toni Trucks, and Jessica Paré, who round out the titular team.

Is ‘SEAL Team’ Worth Watching?

With an 84% Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes, SEAL Team is a compelling series that keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. It centers on Bravo Team, a highly trained Navy SEAL unit, as they execute some of the most dangerous, high-stakes missions around the world on short notice. The series also highlights the intense pressure these missions place on the team members and their families. For them, failure isn’t an option, and this stress often pushes the team to rely on each other despite overwhelming odds, both in their missions and in their personal lives.

SEAL Team ended with Season 7 on Paramount+ in 2024, one year after the streamer announced that it would be the final run. Reports also confirmed at the time that a standalone movie that re-entered development in February 2022 and aimed to “expand the storytelling universe” had quietly been shelved.

SEAL Team is officially available to stream on Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming news.

Brenda Song is giving props to partner Macaulay Culkin and how his innate sense of style inspires her own iconic looks.

“He is so cool, and he has the best T-shirt collection. He’s truly, like, the true off-duty icon,” the Running Point actress, 38, exclusively tells Us while promoting her partnership with Marshalls. “He has the best wardrobe because he’s traveled the world and lived all over the place. So he’s accumulated the most incredible wardrobe.”

Song shares that Culkin’s ability to be “unapologetically himself” is one the qualities she loves most about him. (Song and Culkin, 45, started dating in 2017 and share two sons Dakota, 4, and Carson, 3.)

“The thing about Mac that I love, and I really strive to take inspiration from him is that he’s very confident in who he is, in his style, in the way he looks,” she gushes.” “So when he steps out of the house, whether it’s in a graphic tee or in a full suit, it’s all about confidence.”

Song teamed up with Marshalls to launch  its Fall Fashion Field Guide, which is a shoppable edit highlighting the season’s defining aesthetics and how shoppers can create their own with high-quality finds for every style and budget. The actress curated the guide with her signature fashion perspective inspired by fall trends.

She has been a loyal Marshalls shopper for her “entire life” as she would go on a “two hour shipping excursion with her mom. Now that she’s older — and a mom herself — she still looks to Marshalls to help her find the “different versions” of her style.

“I really just wanted people to pull inspiration from these vibes and take that and make [it] your own. It’s not about finding that exact jacket. It’s about finding a version of that jacket you feel confident in, that you like, and that suits your lifestyle,” she shares. “What I love about Marshalls is that you walk in, and first of all, it’s almost like treasure hunting. You don’t know what you’re gonna find until you go in there.”

The former Disney Channel star adds that Culkin’s mindset inspires her as well.

“I very much aspire to always be like that because for him, he could wear anything,” she explains. “And it’s like to me I realize ‘Oh it’s not about what you’re wearing it’s how you wear it.’”

Culkin’s take on fashion has inspired Song as she now focuses on her closet’s “staple pieces.”

“I love a great pair of jeans, the basics, and then I really like to accessorize per season. That’s what I think is really fun,” she tells Us. “You don’t have to break the bank or do anything outrageous to find really great accessories to update your outfit to keep up with these [things] because everything is always revolving and evolving.”

As a mom of two, Song’s style has evolved over the years. However, Song tells Us she feels more confident now compared to her 20s.

Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin really are the definition of “couple goals.” So who better to star in Express‘ new “Dress for Express” Spring 2025 campaign that marks a new chapter for the brand, celebrating confident self-expression through fashion? All the more reason to celebrate is the fact that Sprouse’s twin, Cole, shot the campaign […]

“I understand and appreciate my body and I’m more just self-confident in who I am and I think my style reflects that,” she tells Us. “I don’t stress about it as much anymore because I realize that this is sort of like my uniform. This is what makes me feel comfortable, but it’s also taken me 38 years to sort of figure that out, and that’s why this field guide was such a personal thing for me because I wanted to just help inspire women to like to find what makes them feel most confident because that’s for me.”

Much like her partner, Song strives to show off her authentic self through her fashion choices.

“I want to feel authentic to me, and what I’m feeling in that moment. And fashion is subjective,” she explains, “It’s so subjective and so I’m like, ‘If you love it, wear it.’ That is my biggest fashion rule. If you love it, wear it. Who cares what anyone else thinks?”

Hilary Duff is remembering the private late-night conversations she shared with Hayden Panettiere while the two young actresses navigated fame during the early 2000s. Following Panettiere’s sudden death at 36, the “Lizzie McGuire” star reflected on the rare connection they formed as teenagers working inside an industry few people their age could fully understand.

5

Although Duff acknowledged that the two women eventually lost touch, she said her memories of Panettiere remain defined by the actress’ work ethic, energy and unmistakable smile. “Sweet Hayden. Really tough hearing this news,” Duff began her Instagram tribute. “We lost touch through the years but I will always remember you as so hardworking and effervescent, with that big, gorgeous smile.”

Duff and Panettiere followed parallel paths into the entertainment industry. Duff became a Disney Channel sensation through “Lizzie McGuire,” while Panettiere established herself on “One Life to Live” before transitioning into major film and television roles.

Behind the images presented to audiences, the young performers were attempting to understand the unusual pressure and responsibility that came with becoming famous before adulthood. “I remember staying up late, chatting and gossiping, and connecting because we were part of such a small sliver of people who actually understood the strange lot in life we were navigating. So young, with no real idea how to make sense of any of it,” Duff wrote.

Duff concluded her tribute by expressing sorrow that Panettiere’s life had ended so young. “I so deeply wish this wasn’t the end for you. Sending a heart full of love to your family, the many people you impacted and everyone who loved you. rest easy,” she shared.

Hayden Panettiere Said She ‘Didn’t Get A Chance To Be A Kid’

5

Panettiere previously spoke about the complicated reality beneath her childhood success. She began appearing on “One Life to Live” as Sarah Roberts at age 4, although she had already been working in commercials since infancy.

In a 2022 interview with PEOPLE, the actress explained that her early career contained both meaningful experiences and lasting emotional consequences. “There are happy memories, but there was also a lot of trauma,” Panettiere said. “Crying over and over again [in a scene], what does that do to a child’s mind, when they’re praised for feeling sad?”

She also described struggling to understand who she was away from the roles she played. “I didn’t get a chance to be a kid,” she continued. “And when I was at school, I was bullied. The lunchroom was the bane of my existence. I was only about 12 when I had an identity crisis. I just didn’t know where I fit in.”

Alexa PenaVega Reflects On Child-Star Losses

5

Alexa PenaVega also addressed the pressures of growing up in the entertainment industry after Panettiere’s death. The “Spy Kids” star connected Panettiere’s passing to the recent deaths of two other former child performers: Michelle Trachtenberg, who died in February 2025 at 39 and Daveigh Chase, who died in June at 35. “Hayden, Michelle, Daveigh… my heart is heavy today,” PenaVega wrote on Instagram. “These aren’t just names from my childhood. They’re girls I grew up alongside, sharing a world that was exciting and also incredibly hard.”

PenaVega reflected on the lack of support some young actors experienced while attempting to navigate fame, adult responsibilities and public scrutiny. “We were kids navigating something so big, and not everyone had the foundation or support they deserved,” she continued. “Today, I’m grieving and holding their families close in my prayers and thinking of everyone still fighting battles we can’t see. Hug your people close today.”

Panettiere Reportedly Endured ‘Really Severe’ Back Pain

5

In addition to the struggles Panettiere had previously discussed publicly, people close to her said she experienced serious physical pain during the months before her death. Her hairstylist and friend, Erick Orellana, said Panettiere had been dealing with significant back problems earlier in the year. “I know she suffered earlier this year with her back,” Orellana told Page Six.

He described the pain as “really severe” and said it affected her mobility. “At one point, it was even hard for her to move her legs,” Orellana added.

Panettiere was photographed using crutches while traveling through Los Angeles International Airport with Brian Hickerson in March. Despite the severity of the earlier symptoms, Orellana believed that she was “starting to be on the mend.”

A second source recalled that the actress sometimes appeared exhausted but noted that her schedule and sleeping habits may have contributed. “Earlier this year, she did seem a little tired at times. But she was a night owl, and … she has a lot on her plate,” the insider said.

The source also claimed Panettiere “suffered from anxiety at times” and would “occasionally take medication for that,” and “every so often that could impact her speech.”

Hayden Panettiere’s Cause Of Death Remains Undetermined

5

Panettiere died Sunday, August 16, after being found unresponsive at an Airbnb rental inside the Judson Mill Lofts complex in Greenville, South Carolina. Paramedics responded to a 911 call involving an “unidentified female” in cardiac arrest.

Dispatch audio referenced an “overdose” and indicated that “CPR [was] in progress.” Emergency personnel attempted to revive Panettiere using advanced cardiac life support and chest compressions, but she was pronounced dead at 2:32 p.m.

The investigation has not yet produced an official cause.

While several major stars, especially those who are known for their work in genre cinema, have either dabbled in or pivoted entirely to streaming, there are two key holdouts. Neither Jason Statham nor Gerard Butler, who are often considered genres unto themselves, has ever headlined a streaming original movie. And yet, it would seem that their primary audience is at home. Both stars are coming off box office underperformers — Shelter and Greenland 2: Migration — released in the same month and directed by the same filmmaker, Ric Roman Waugh. And both movies have more than redeemed themselves with huge home-video runs.

Producer Basil Iwanyk, best known for the John Wick franchise, revealed that every movie that Statham or Butler stars in eventually makes its money back. Appearing on The Ringer and Puck’s The Town podcast, he said that both stars are highly intelligent when it comes to curating their output, and that it is a conscious decision to not work on streaming projects even though they’ve been offered millions by streaming platforms. Iwanyk revealed that Statham works entirely by himself, and doesn’t have an agent or manager overseeing his career. In his own words:

“Jason Statham and Gerard Butler have not done a streaming movie. They’re very, very, very smart. They’re actually a lot more clever and astute about who their audience is and the world they occupy. Jason doesn’t have an agent or a manager. He’s in complete control of his career. You go directly to Jason, for everything large and small. It’s a conscious decision for them not to make a streaming movie. It’s interesting to me that the two most successful mini-genres, Gerry and Jason, are theatrical guys, and they’re firmly theatrical guys.”

Jason Statham’s New Action Movie Is Around the Corner

Statham and Butler’s latest films were released theatrically in January, the same window in which Netflix debuted the smash-hit The Rip, starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Butler will soon star in Empire City, written by S. Craig Zahler and also featuring Hayley Atwell. Before that, Statham’s fans can see him in this week’s Mutiny, which also features Annabelle Wallis.

A mother was arrested after she allegedly left her 6-year-old son alone in a park while she got food with a friend.

Elena Sexton and her son were visiting Florida from Texas when she was arrested for child neglect on Saturday, August 15.

Police responded to Town Center Park in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, around 9 p.m. on August 15 after receiving a call about a boy who had seemingly been left alone at the park, according to an arrest affidavit reviewed by Law & Crime. While speaking to a 911 dispatcher, a man said that the boy approached him “and said he was alone” and “scared” because his mother “left him.”

Officers with the Sunny Isles Beach Police Department spoke to the witness upon their arrival, and he said he believed the boy had been alone for at least an hour. Additionally, he claimed that the boy told him that he “had not eaten since breakfast time.”

A mother in Louisiana has been arrested after she failed to bring her child to post-op appointments after he underwent brain surgery. The Shreveport Police Department said that officers received a tip about a welfare concern involving a young child on Monday, March 9, according to KSLA. The report was initially made by a Louisiana […]

Police then spoke to the boy and asked him where his mother was. He told them that she “left him to be with a friend to get food,” per the affidavit. He also told officers that he was “scared” and didn’t want to leave the park “with a stranger.”

Police searched the park and surrounding areas for Sexton, 41, with no luck. She later returned to the park and found police officers waiting for her, and she was arrested.

After she was taken into custody, Sexton told officers that she had gone back to her car to “get some toys” shortly after she and her son arrived at the park. While at her car, she allegedly “saw a friend” and was invited to get food. She then “partook” in the invite “while leaving [her son] at the park.”

Police have not revealed how long the boy was unattended before the witness called 911.

Officers have since contacted the Florida Department of Children and Families regarding the incident.

A Florida woman has been accused of helping her children attack a 10-year-old boy as she physically restrained the child for allegedly calling her a “fat ass” at a neighborhood park. The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office confirmed in a news release that Ketsy Ann Rivera was arrested and charged with contributing to the delinquency of […]

Following her arrest, Sexton was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. She has since been released after posting a $2,500 bond.

Those found guilty of child neglect in Florida can be sentenced to serve up to five years in prison if there is no great harm.

It’s not currently clear whether Sexton had entered a plea or retained legal counsel following her arrest. The Sunny Isles Beach Police Department did not immediately respond to Us’ request for comment regarding updates in the case.

Young and the Restless puts Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) determined to take Chancellor away from Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn). And now that Billy found those loan documents that seem to prove Chancellor belongs to the Abbotts, he’s already going power mad.

He’s already going insane already and just running amuck and Billy is acting like Chancellor belongs to him, to just him. And that’s not the case. It belongs to him, Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson), Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), and Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland). And Billy might soon get a painful reminder of that fact.

Young and the Restless: Billy’s Dead Set on Chancellor

So, right now, Billy’s adamant that Chancellor belongs to him, and he already put Lily and Cane on notice. And Lily was furious to hear Billy’s claims, told him he’s fired and give back the files he took. But he clapped back at Lily and said, “You can’t fire me, but she’s already declaring war on Billy and vice versa.”

And of course, Cane’s angry, too. And he warned Billy that he’s going to have to go through him if he tries to hurt Lily by taking her company away from her. This week, Cane tries to get Jack on board to help reign Billy back in, but Jack tells Cane he doesn’t want anything to do with this mess. Who can blame him?

Jack wants to stay out of it, even though he wishes Billy would just leave it alone. The only thing Jack really cares about is protecting his father, John Abbott’s (Jerry Douglas), legacy and his reputation. And Jack warns Cane this week that in the middle of all this mess, if John’s legacy is tarnished by him, then Cane is going to have to answer to Jack.

Billy Lashes Out on Y&R

Meanwhile, Billy barged into the Jabot office, and he found Cane there with Jack and Billy made it clear that he won’t stop and he wants Chancellor. And then when Jack asks him, “Why do you want it?” Billy stormed out mad. And then he ran into Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) and tried to lure him away from being loyal to his sister Lily, which is crazy.

Basically, Billy’s running amuck. He’s already power mad before Chancellor’s even been handed over, before he even has the keys to the kingdom. And this is also before Lily can have her day in court to challenge this takeover of Billy’s that is nothing short of hostile. The issue is that his siblings, Ashley, Jack, and Traci, know he’s like a dog with a bone with this.

He used to be a gambling addict, and at this point, I think Billy’s just addicted to chaos and troublemaking. So, Ashley’s take on it is just let Billy have it. It’ll be easier. And Traci doesn’t want Billy to hurt people, but Traci also knows if they intervene, then Billy will just wind up really mad at them.

Lily Turns to Jack on Young and Restless

So, by the end of the week, Lily’s in Jack’s office trying to get him to help her. And between now and then, if Billy’s run all over Genoa City acting like a maniac, Jack and his sisters may realize they have no choice but to intervene. Because if Billy doesn’t stop, he will blow his life apart. This week, spoilers say Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is not happy about Billy making another grab for Chancellor.

So, Jack may decide that even if Billy gets angry at them in the short run, losing Chancellor may be what is best for Billy in the long run. But can you imagine the Abbott family civil war that would come? Even if those loan documents are legit, that doesn’t mean Billy himself gets Chancellor. All the children of John Abbott have an equal share.

So, Jack, Traci, and Ashley can take Billy out of the equation. You know, Jack can accept a buyback offer from Lily where she pays off the loan and the interest. And if three of the four Abbott heirs sign off on it, everybody but Billy, well, that’s a done deal. And then Lily can keep the company. That’s honestly best for everybody because Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is already making a play against Billy this week, which means Victor could also target Sally in double payback against Billy and that would be really bad.

Young and the Restless: The Abbotts Run Chancellor

Now, another option is that the Abbotts could keep Chancellor and run it and just pay Billy his one quarter share of the profits. But honestly, I don’t see it going that way. They’ve got Jabot. I don’t know why they would want Chancellor. I suspect it’s more likely to be a deal with Lily and Cane to satisfy the debt that Philip Chancellor owed to John Abbott. So, no matter how it plays out, selling Chancellor to Lily or keeping it.

But Billy’s blocked out of it on Young and the Restless. Can you imagine how insane he’d go if Jack foiled his Chancellor dream and with his sisters voting to do it as well? I’m guessing that his mom, Jill Abbott (Jess Walton), will side with the other Abbotts and will not want Billy to have it because it’s nothing short of an obsession with him. And as Jack pointed out, Billy should be focused on Sally and the baby. And Billy crushing Lily and Cane and incurring Victor’s wrath could really hurt his relationship with Sally. It would be better for Billy if he just forgot about Chancellor. But of course, he won’t.

Young and Restless: Billy May Leave his Siblings with No Choice

So, if it goes down like this and Jack, Traci, and Ashley feel like they have to turn on Billy even with the best of intentions, he would lose his ever loving mind. I think it’s possible because this Chancellor obsession is not healthy. It’s out of control. It has been for a while. And it could ruin the new life that Billy has built with Sally and ruin the future of the new baby they have on the way.

Billy Could Lose Sally on Y&R

And if Billy can’t stop, if he can’t let it go, I could see Sally reaching her breaking point and just walking out on Billy and that or something to do with her threatening to walk out could be the deciding factor that has Jack, Ashley, and Traci deciding they have to do something.

So, they might take Chancellor out of Billy’s hands specifically to keep him from losing Sally and from losing a chance to raise this baby and to lose what might legit be Billy’s last chance at happiness in this life.

As Jack said, if Victor still owned Chancellor, he really wouldn’t care so much about Billy taking it. But because he’s hurting Lily and others, it’s not okay. And in the end, he’s hurting himself. And Billy’s also going to keep on with accusations about Jill.

Young and Restless: Abbott Family Intervention and Billy’s Unraveling

And I mean, heck, Billy might be the one to damage John’s legacy with all of this. By the end of the week, it looks like Newman Media is doing some smear campaign type stuff against Billy. So, Victor might even drag John Abbott’s name into that, saying he would be ashamed of Billy. He’s betraying the family legacy.

And that could help push Jack and his sisters into thinking, “Okay, we got to shut this down. Even though Billy’s going to be mad at us, I do suspect Chancellor is going to wind up back in Lily’s hands.” Billy may wind up never forgiving his siblings if they’re the ones who make it happen.

And of course, if Victor’s involved, Billy may accuse Jack of conspiring with his worst enemy against him. I do think Lily appealing to him might start to get through to Jack. And all of his concerns about Sally are really valid.

Billy Loses Chancellor on Young and the Restless

But then in the end, I think what it might come down to is the other Abbotts, Jack in particular, just deciding we have to do what’s best for Billy because he’s not doing what’s best for himself. Remember, not that long ago, Billy told Kyle that before he was born, Jack was like a father figure to him because of their age difference, and Billy even resented Kyle a little for kind of taking his dad, Jack, from him. All of that is true.

It feels like Jack has been parenting Billy for all of his adult life and obviously his young life as well. So, Jack may step up and do the hard thing, do the right thing, even if it means Billy’s ticked off at him. No matter how it happens, if he’s this close to getting Chancellor and then loses it, Billy is going to explode. I’m sure he’ll blow up his life because Sally doesn’t like this Chancellor stuff. And if she’s not 100 percent in agreement with Billy, he’ll probably get mad at her and he may turn on her, may turn on Jack, and we could see Billy the lone wolf completely losing his mind and going over the edge.

In the last few years, Apple TV has become one of the premier streaming homes in the world for original sci-fi programming. The streamer boasts one of the most impressive libraries of original sci-fi shows, but the two at the top of the pile are Severance and Pluribus. Both shows have been renewed for new seasons, but both are still lacking return dates as fans grow more impatient by the day for new episodes from Ben Stiller and Vince Gilligan’s hit sci-fi series. One show sitting at the top of Apple TV watchlists worth checking out to hold over fans of Severance and Pluribus is Silo, the epic dystopian thriller starring Rebecca Ferguson. New episodes of Silo are added to streaming weekly, and Apple TV has already confirmed that the fourth and final season will be released next summer.

One department Apple TV fell behind its streaming competitors was older movies and TV shows — the streamer has stuck mostly to original programming until now. Apple TV has begun to acquire licenses for movies and shows that have been lost to time, and the latest film to land on the platform is I, Robot. The 2004 sci-fi thriller stars Will Smith, and it grossed over $350 million at the box office against a $120 million budget. I, Robot had been absent from streaming for some time, but the film was recently added to Apple TV’s standard streaming library for all subscribers, and it’s also crept into the top 10, sitting at #7 at the time of writing. Bridget Moynahan, Bruce Greenwood, and even Alan Tudyk all have key roles in I, Robot.

What Is ‘I, Robot’ About?

I, Robot is set in the year 2035, and it follows a technophobic cop who investigates a crime he suspects was committed by a robot. This leads him to discover a much larger threat to humanity, while also forcing him to question the morals and feelings he’s had about technology his entire life. I, Robot is perfect for fans of Blade Runner, as it is set in a world where the relationship between humans and androids is morally blurred, but the film also has shades of Tom Cruise’s iconic sci-fi thriller, Minority Report. Del Spooner from I, Robot and John Anderton from Minority Report both find themselves in the middle of a complicated techno-conspiracy with implications for the entire human race.

Check out I, Robot streaming on Apple TV and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Will Smith’s future projects.

Days of Our Lives delivers Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) on her deathbed while Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) is having a high-risk labor and delivery procedure without an epidural because of her low blood count. Lots of things going on and both women could be at death’s door by the end of the week.

And before we get into all the details about Lexie and Chanel’s recent trip to Salem University Hospital, we’re also going to talk about what miraculous fate may be in store for them. Let’s dive right into what could be a full circle miracle of sorts.

Theo Stunned on Days of our Lives

So, last week, Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) was absolutely shocked to learn that his mother Lexie wasn’t visiting his grandma Celeste (Beverly Todd) in South Africa, but instead he was told to go look in the DiMera mansion basement for Lexie. But to be fair, she was there at her request. EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) wanted to take her to the hospital. But Lexie refused, and she was determined to keep this new death sentence a secret from her son, Theo, and her husband, Abe Carver (James Reynolds).

And EJ was true to his word and he only told Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) that his aunt Lexie was dying downstairs and that it was at her request. And of course, Johnny was still horrified. He took off and once Theo chased Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney) away and found Lexie, he was upset. He called Abe right away and they called 911 and had Lexie transferred from EJ’s basement over to the hospital. And this week, Dr. Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans) confirmed Lexie’s worst fears.

Dr. Rolf’s prognosis was correct. The miracle serum that brought Lexie back to life was not the miracle everybody thought it was going to be. So, Kayla told Abe and Theo that Lexie doesn’t have much time left and Kayla’s doing what she can to buy them more time and to make sure Lexie is comfortable. But the end is coming far too soon. Meanwhile, Chanel and her husband Johnny also rushed over to the hospital because Chanel’s contractions are the real deal, not Braxton Hicks.

Chanel Terrified on DOOL

But Chanel is really worried because of the timing. She was meant to be induced in 3 weeks. And she and Johnny have been told that after her last chemo, they needed to wait 3 weeks before they induced her for safety reasons. But the baby has other plans and wants to meet Chanel and Johnny right now. So, Kayla is doing a blood transfusion on Chanel. And also this week, we’re going to see Johnny and Theo in chairs at the hospital lab giving blood as a nurse looks on. So, not only does Chanel need a transfusion. But so does Lexie.

It looks like Johnny and Theo are doing their part and donating blood even if their blood isn’t going to wind up with Lexie and Chanel. So, this week there’s a ton of drama for the Carver, Price, & DiMera families. First of all, Theo confronts Johnny while they are giving blood together. And Theo’s angry that his cousin Johnny knew Lexie was in the basement and lied to Theo’s face about it. So, he is understandably furious with Johnny for leaving Lexie down there.

Days of our Lives: Theo Blasts Johnny

And Theo is asking Johnny, “What other heinous things have you been covering up?” Well, you know, arsenic, kidnapping, framing Holly to look like a druggie. Lots of bad things, actually. But Theo and Johnny have enough to worry about already without piling on. Lexie’s dying and Chanel is in high-risk labor.

And of course, Johnny’s going to understand why Theo is so upset. But this is not the time to hash it all out because in the end, Johnny was respecting what Lexie wanted. It was her last wish that EJ not tell anybody where she was, not tell anybody she’s dying, and especially didn’t want Theo and Abe to know.

So later this week, we’re going to see Abe and Theo hoping for some more time with Lexie. But there’s not any more time to be had. All she’s getting from Kayla is palliative care to keep her comfortable. Bottom line, Lexie is about to transition and pass away. At the same time, we are going to see Chanel’s labor take a frightening turn.

And this is where I think things will get a bit supernatural on Days of Our Lives. If you recall, when Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) was on her deathbed, Lexie’s spirit came to her. She basically sent her back to Earth, sent her back to life because spirit Lexie didn’t want Abe to lose another wife tragically and also because of cancer like she did. The writers haven’t addressed this and of course Paulina never brought it up to Lexie. Doesn’t sound like Lexie remembers it. But it was just a few years ago, not terribly long, so viewers remember it.

Lexie’s Supernatural Intervention and Circle of Life on DOOL

And I suspect everything’s going to come back around in the circle of life for these two linked families. I can see where days might have Lexie pass away just as Chanel’s labor and delivery takes a really bad turn. The summer promo has Johnny freaking out. He tells Kayla that Chanel’s bleeding and he says there’s a lot of blood. And then Kayla clears everybody out of the room.

So, we could have Chanel hemorrhaging and flatline while she’s giving birth. There may be a moment where Johnny thinks he’s lost her and we’ll have Kayla, other doctors all working together trying to revive Chanel after the baby’s delivered. So, both Lexie and Chanel could flatline within moments of each other. And with Lexie and Chanel passing over to the other side, I think they might run into each other. You know how Days of Our Lives loves their afterlife and heavenly scene. So, in the misty realm, we can see Lexie’s spirit. She’ll probably transition easy because she’s accepted her death.

Chanel’s Spiritual Experience on Days

Then Chanel’s spirit arrives scared and confused because she wants to be with Johnny and their children. And Chanel might be there talking to Lexie while Kayla is working in the real world trying to revive Chanel and bring her back from the very brink of death.

And we could see Lexie being the one to send Chanel back. So, I could see Lexie telling Chanel, “It’s not your time. You don’t belong here.” And Lexie might even work some sort of heavenly miracle or intervene with the powers that be to save Chanel and send her back to Johnny, send her back to her loved ones because Lexie knows that Theo and Abe are already grief-stricken.

And Lexie knows it’ll be twice as bad if Chanel also dies. So, I do think that Lexie is going to help Chanel find her way back to the earthly realm just like she did with Paulina. And I expect to see Chanel gasp back to life just as the doctors are calling time of death.

And she may see a last glimpse of Lexie’s angelic form across the room one last time as they place the baby in Chanel’s arms. She told Johnny she thought it was a boy. But I suspect we’re getting a girl and that Chanel may tell everybody that Lexie saved her from certain death.

Lexie Saves Chanel on DOOL

Chanel might ask to see Abe and Theo so she can tell them what happened. And Chanel may tell them that the miracle of a return to life was what she got from Lexie. And if she and Johnny have a baby girl, I suspect that Chanel may want to name the little girl Alexandra DiMera to honor Theo’s mom. Johnny was teasing Chanel about how many girl names she had picked out.

But if things go full circle and Lexie passes just as Chanel also dies. But then works a miracle and sends her back, I think it would be a perfectly sweet tribute for Johnny and Chanel to name their little girl Alexandra. I think that would be a comfort to Theo and Abe. So this week, I do expect the Carver and Price families are going to lose one of their own, almost lose another, and then they get this medical miracle, and then they all share in the miracle of birth and renewal. And they know that Lexie has moved on to a peaceful, heavenly existence because Chanel saw her there, and that’s much better than years stuck in a person pod.
