When Calls the Heart concluded season 13 with a surprise cameo from none other than Lori Loughlin — seven years after her original exit from the show.

During the Sunday, March 22, episode of the hit Hallmark series Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) and Nathan’s (Kevin McGarry) engagement ended with Abigail (Loughlin) coming back to Hope Valley, saying, “It’s good to be home.”

News originally broke in December 2025 that Loughlin, 61, will appear in six of season 14’s 12 episodes. The show, which is filming this year, is set to return in 2027 with Krakow, 41, McGarry, Jack Wagner, Chris McNally, Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith all set to return.

“Since the series’ debut in 2014, the character of Abigail Stanton was a fan favorite and beloved by the Hearties,” Hallmark Media’s head of programming Michelle Vicary said in a statement. “At its core the Hallmark brand is about hope, positivity and connection, which is also the central theme of When Calls the Heart. We felt that season 14 was the right time to continue Abigail’s story with her return to this beloved series.”

Loughlin’s appearance on the hit show comes seven years after her final episode aired. The actress became a household name after playing Rebecca on ABC’s hit sitcom Full House. From there, Loughlin continued to deliver scene-stealing performances in Summerland, 90210, When Calls the Heart and Fuller House.

Loughlin was written off When Calls the Heart in 2019 in the wake of the college admissions scandal for which she served two months in jail. Before her return was announced, Krakow exclusively told Us Weekly she was hoping to reunite with Loughlin.

“I love Lori Loughlin, and I love the character she created, Abigail Stanton,” Krakow shared, adding that Loughlin rejoining the show is “something I’ve been hoping for for years and years. I’m very much a fan of hers and a friend of hers, so I really hope that it’s happening.”

Loughlin previously returned to acting on Dick Wolf’s Prime Video procedural On Call.

All good things must come to an end, even when it comes to TV. Over the years, many television stars have suddenly left their roles — while others have been cut from a series without much notice. Anna Faris announced in September 2020 that she was leaving CBS’ Mom after starring as the lead character […]

“I don’t get offered roles like this,” Loughlin shared with Us in December 2024. “Throughout my career, people [have] seen me as the girl next door.”

Loughlin explained that she has nothing but gratitude for her past projects, but she was excited to try something new.

“I’m not complaining. I feel very blessed for the career that I’ve had but it was a wonderful opportunity for me to play a completely different role,” she explained. “I was shocked to even get the offer. [My costar and On Call director] Eriq [La Salle] was instrumental in bringing me on board. I’m so thankful that Dick Wolf and everyone at Wolf Entertainment also agreed to bring me on board.”

Just one day prior to the death of Jessi Pierce and her three children, the NHL reporter shared happy memories of her kids online.

Pierce, who died with her three children and family dog during a house fire on Saturday, March 21, had shared two photos of the youngsters via X on Friday, March 20.

Pierce was 37 at the time of her death. She shared sons, Hudson and Cayden, with husband Mike Pierce, as well as a daughter, Avery.

The sports reporter’s X post showed her three children eating ice creams in the open air, in addition to one of her sons eating a sandwich.

We will miss her terribly.”

The White Bear Lake Fire Department also released a statement via Facebook, confirming that firefighters had responded to a residential “structure fire” at a home in Minnesota at around 5:25 a.m. local time on Saturday.

Fire Chief Greg Peterson said in the statement, “Neighbors that made the 911 call reported seeing fire coming through the roof of the house and stated there were likely people inside of the house. Upon arrival, crews found a fully involved structure fire and immediately began fire suppression efforts. Crews were then able to locate an adult, three children and a dog inside of the house. Unfortunately, all were deceased.”

Krull, 29, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a moving tribute to her former colleague. “Family isn’t always blood, but the people you choose and that couldn’t have been more true. Jessi was like another big sister to me,” Krull wrote alongside a carousel of images and videos that showed the pair enjoying good times together, and with their families.

Krull’s post continued, “She had a confidence and a way of being able to talk to anyone that I envied. She had an unmatched work ethic and a huge heart. Any time I needed help, needed to rant, or needed someone she was there without hesitation. Most importantly, she was the best mom and loved her kids and family fiercely.”

Marshals shocked Yellowstone fans by killing Monica off — and are they now having Kayce Dutton move on after just four episodes?

During the Sunday, March 22, episode, Kayce (Luke Grimes) helped someone who got stranded after a plane crash. His daughter appeared quite grateful and by the end of the episode, she was flirting with Kayce at the bar.

“I wish I knew a local who could give me a crash course on all things Big Sky. You were born and raised here, what do you say?” Dolly (Ellyn Jameson) said while flirting with Kayce, who replied, “Maybe.”

CBS announced on March 12, that Marshals is returning for more episodes after its premiere was watched by 20.6 million viewers within seven days. This marked the most-watched network original series premiere without a football lead-in since 2017.

CBS announced on Thursday, March 12, that Marshals is returning for more episodes after its premiere was watched by 20.6 million viewers within seven days. This marked the most-watched network original series premiere without a football lead-in since 2017.

“Marshals delivered a breakout performance, capturing a massive audience across platforms and quickly establishing itself as one of TV’s most powerful new series,” CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said in a statement. “The overwhelming viewer response speaks to the strength of the Yellowstone world, the bold, character-driven storytelling from the creative team and the dynamic cast performances led by Luke Grimes.”

According to a press release, CBS has had several wins, with Marshals and Justin Hartley’s Tracker coming out as the top two most‑watched shows during their premiere week. The premiere of Luke Grimes‘ spinoff, meanwhile, ranks as CBS’ most-streamed episode ever on Paramount+.

Paramount Network’s Yellowstone, which aired from 2018 to 2024, originally introduced Us to Grimes, 42, as Kayce Dutton. After the show came to an end, it was announced that the actor would be headlining his own series for CBS, which follows Kayce as he leaves “ranching life behind to join an elite unit” of the U.S. Marshals while “combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence.”

The show debuted earlier this month with Grimes, Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, Brett Cullen and Logan Marshall Green leading the cast. Longtime fans of Taylor Sheridan‘s Yellowstone universe were shocked, however, when the first episode revealed the death of Kayce’s wife, Monica (Kelsey Asbille).

Showrunner Spencer Hudnut later explained that the death happened after they realized Asbille, 34, wasn’t available to appear on the show.

Yellowstone has expanded with several spinoffs — but some of the shows have been going through extreme offscreen production delays. Taylor Sheridan‘s hit show, which premiered in 2018, introduced viewers to the fictional Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in Montana. It became an instant hit for the Paramount Network, which inspired prequels including […]

“The original conversation was that it has to be something [that happens to Kayce in the series premiere]. There was the thought of, ‘Maybe we find him and he’s just bored because he was protecting his family and was a Navy SEAL, so then actually a calm life is not for him, which is a path,’” Hudnut told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month about the motivation behind the new spinoff. “But probably not a satisfying enough path for Kayce. Then, truthfully, as we were trying to figure it out, Monica was not one of the ingredients that was available to me.”

Hudnut clarified that he didn’t speak with Asbille before it was decided that Monica would be written off.

“No, I wasn’t part of any of that, so I can’t really speak to how or why that played out the way it did. But when that happened, it cleared up what that thing was for Kayce,” he noted. “And I think the way we’ve done it, my goal was to not undermine that journey in Yellowstone because they do have [the dream] — she says, ‘This is a dream come true’ at the end of it. They did achieve that. They did get what they finally wanted, and, unfortunately, life just intervened and disrupted everything that Kayce wanted. So that’s where we find him in Marshals.”

Marshals airs on CBS Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.

Jude Law’s ex Cat Cavelli is sharing her side of the story after Chappell Roan’s alleged interaction with her 11-year-old daughter in Brazil.

“Hi guys, good morning,” Cavelli said in a Sunday, March 22, Instagram video. “I wanted to say something because I’m getting so many messages about this now and honestly I didn’t realize it would get this crazy but a lot of people asked me, ‘What actually happened?’ and everything else and I know that Chappell has responded saying that it wasn’t her security and that she didn’t do it.”

She continued, “So, 100 percent this security guard was not a security guard of the hotel — that is what I can say. He looks after artists, so I don’t know if it was her personal security guard but he was with her. That is all I know. Did she send him to do it? Again, I don’t know. Look, I would like to hope not but at the same time, I think that you have a responsibility when you are a celebrity to make sure, I guess, that the people who work with you and act on your behalf are acting on your behalf.”

Cavelli questioned whether the security guard would have approached them if “he didn’t have the authority to do so.”

Paris Fashion Week delivered pure theatrical glamour thanks to Chappell Roan, who turned two iconic shows into her personal stage. She made a fashion statement by going braless at the Alexander McQueen Autumn Winter 2026 show on Sunday, March 8, wearing a see-through black gown that channeled gothic elegance. The dress featured an embellished collar, […]

“I don’t know,” she continued. “If he does, then obviously that’s a big problem because then he’s representing her in a way that she doesn’t want to be represented so I think that’s really important for her to notice and realize that’s not correct.”

Cavelli went on to note that they were staying at the same hotel as Roan, enjoying breakfast when they noticed someone who looked similar to the singer. Cavelli claimed her daughter “didn’t approach” Roan but went to see if the woman they spotted was, in fact, the pop star. (Cavelli is also mom to son Jax, whom she shares with professional soccer star Jorginho.)

“She didn’t have her phone, she didn’t try to take a picture, she didn’t approach her. She literally didn’t do anything. She just looked at her,” Cavelli claimed of her daughter, noting that a security guard then approached them with a “very aggressive tone.”

“For me, I feel like it really overstepped a boundary, because he is quite an intimidating … he is very large,” she continued. “So for him to come over to a table with just a woman and her daughter eating breakfast to kind of berate and scold us and say that he was going to complain and tell me that I should be teaching my daughter to be better, and that she’s badly educated, and we should respect people’s privacy, and we should not harass people, and all of these other things.”

Chappell Roan has cut ties with her talent agency, Wasserman, after CEO and founder Casey Wasserman was named in files related to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “As of today, I am no longer represented by Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman,” Roan, 27, shared in an Instagram Story on Monday, February 9. […]

Cavelli claimed she tried to explain that her daughter was “very excited” to see an artist that she “admires.” She also noted that Jorginho is “very well known” and her daughter “knows the limits” around public figures.

“I tried to explain this to him, and then he just kept saying, ‘Well, if that’s the case, you should know better. You should know how it is. You should know how it is. So you should teach her to be better. You shouldn’t allow her to be like this,’” Cavelli recalled. “I was shocked.”

She continued, “I did actually say to him at the time, I said, ‘Well, if this the case that she doesn’t even want people to look at her, she is very welcome to eat breakfast in her room, because this here is a public area, and I am a paying guest as well as her. So if I want to walk past someone’s table and look at them, I have every right to do so. I am not approaching her. I’m not doing anything to make her feel intimidated or nothing.’”

Cavelli said that she hopes Roan “did not know” and “did not send her security guard over to do this.” She noted that the family traveled to see the show, with her daughter asking to see the singer perform for her birthday present. The group ended up skipping the show.

“It’s how it is. We’ll say no more on it. That’s it,” she concluded. “I hope that maybe, if it wasn’t her, that she learns to not allow the people that work for her to treat people like this. That’s the end of it.”

In the caption, Cavelli wrote, “Good afternoon, everyone! I’ve been reflecting on the recent events, which is why it took me a while to speak out. First of all, I want to say that we’re all okay. We met Jorge here at his hotel, and I decided to share a bit about what happened. Thank you for the support and for all the kind messages.”

The drama began on Saturday, March 21, that Jorginho (real name Jorge Luiz Frello Filho) claimed that Roan’s security team wouldn’t allow his daughter to meet her.

“During breakfast, the artist walked past their table. My daughter, like any child, recognized her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her,” Jorginho alleged in his statement via social media. “And the worst part is she didn’t even approach her. She simply walked past the singer’s table, looked to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to sit with her mum. She didn’t say anything, didn’t ask for anything.”

A security guard allegedly told Cavelli and her daughter that she shouldn’t “disrespect or harass other people.”

Roan (real […]

“Honestly, I don’t know at what point simply walking past a table and looking to see if someone is there can be considered harassment,” Jorginho concluded. “I’ve lived with football, public exposure, and well-known people for many years, and I understand very well what respect and boundaries are. What happened there was not that. It was just a child admiring someone. It’s sad to see this kind of treatment coming from those who should understand the importance of fans. At the end of the day, they are the ones who build all of this. I sincerely hope this serves as a moment of reflection. No one should have to go through this, especially not a child.”

Roan, for her part, addressed the comments on Sunday in a video shared via social media.

“I’m just gonna tell my half of the story of what happened today with a mother and child, who were involved with a security guard who is not my personal security,” Roan said via her Instagram Story. “I didn’t even see a woman and a child, like, no one came up to me. No one bothered me. I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel. I think these people were staying at the hotel, as well.”

Roan denied that she asked the security official to “go up and talk” to the family on her behalf.

“I did not, [and] they did not come up to me. They weren’t doing anything,” Roan said. “It’s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn’t have good intentions when they have no reason to believe because there’s no action even taken, like, that’s so not what I stand behind.”

Roan noted that she has no issue with her fans, adding, “I do not hate people who are fans of my music. I do not hate children, like, that is crazy. I’m sorry to that mother and child that someone was assuming something that you would do something and that if you felt uncomfortable, that makes me really sad. You did not deserve that.”

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton recently stepped out together in Tokyo, Us Weekly has learned.

Kardashian, 45, and Hamilton, 41, were spotted walking side by side on a crowded sidewalk in Japan on Sunday, March 22, according to social media footage. The Skims mogul rocked a gray dress with over-the-knee heeled boots, while Hamilton kept it casual in a brown jacket and coordinating slacks.

Kim’s sister Khloé Kardashian also appeared to join the new couple on the getaway, per additional X clips.

While Kim and the Formula 1 champ have been friends for many years, their bond recently turned romantic.

“She has felt ready to put herself back out there recently,” a source exclusively told Us in February of the pair’s “casual” relationship.

Weeks later, Kim and Hamilton seemingly made their public debut at the 2026 Super Bowl as they cuddled up in a private box to watch the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots.

“They are going strong and really happy. Lewis is head over heels and those closest to him believe he has finally met his match,” the second insider exclusively told Us. “He has waited over a decade for his dream girl and is crazy about her.”

As Hamilton and Kim get closer, they’ve had to accommodate their respective busy careers.

“They are both very committed to making things work no matter how long the distance is or how busy they are,” the second source said, noting the duo frequently FaceTime while Hamilton is in the F1 paddock between races. “Because their relationship started with a friendship first, those closest to them believe this could be endgame for them both.”

“[Kim and Lewis] are keeping things casual and seeing where it leads,” the third source told Us in March. “She’s learned that too much pressure is usually when things fall apart.”

That being said, the insider noted that Kim was “open” to Hamilton meeting her kids in the future.

“Lewis is such a great guy and has really been courting her and treating her right. He’s been making all the plans and making sure she is taken care of,” the third source added. “Everyone around her thinks it’s really sweet and what she deserves. Kim has had such a relaxed aura recently in all aspects of her life. Her mindset has totally changed. She’s not forcing anything, just letting it unfold naturally.”

Meghan Markle’s beauty routine changes periodically, but one thing remains constant: she always gives her skin the royal treatment by prioritizing ingredients such as rice enzyme powder, which effectively cleanses and deeply nourishes the skin.

In an interview with Allure, the Duchess of Sussex revealed Tatcha’s Rice Enzyme Polish as the product behind her effortless glow.

“It just sort of foams on your face,” she told the publication, adding that the polish “gives you a really subtle exfoliation” and aligns with her self-proclaimed “low-key” approach to her everyday cosmetology. “I don’t wear foundation in real life,” Markle continued. In other words, what you see is what you get.

We’re willing to bet it was Markle’s close friend and trusted makeup artist, Daniel Martin, who put her on to the product. His years-long obsession with Tatcha earned him an ambassadorship, and he now serves as the brand’s Global Director of Artistry. Occasionally, he’ll reveal which items he uses on the former actress, like a serum that shoppers swear is Botox in a stick.

He concluded, “I hope you guys have a great day, and let’s stay positive and show nothing but support for people in need.”

Despite Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette being canceled, she has needed to carry on as usual. “[I’m] always on [my phone],” Taylor, 31, wrote via Instagram comment on Friday, March 20, after a fan questioned why the reality TV star was posting on social media amid the Bachelor Nation scandal. “It’s my job, […]

ABC announced on Thursday, March 19, that season 22 of The Bachelorette was canceled days before the scheduled Sunday, March 22, premiere.

“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” a Disney Entertainment Television spokesperson told Us in a statement at the time.

The update came after TMZ released footage of Taylor physically assaulting and throwing multiple chairs at ex Dakota Mortensen in a 2023 incident. In the video, Taylor’s daughter can be heard crying in the background. (Taylor shares daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5, with ex-husband Tate Paul. She’s also mom to son Ever, whom she welcomed with Dakota in 2024.)

The incident led to Taylor’s arrest at the time, where she was charged with aggravated assault, two counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, child abuse with injury and criminal mischief after the incident. Taylor ultimately pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, while the other four charges were dismissed with prejudice. She later reached a plea deal.

A rep for Taylor told Us in a statement on Thursday that she is “very grateful for ABC’s support” while she “prioritizes her family’s safety and security.”

“After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm,” the rep said.

The statement continued, “There are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives. Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation, and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story.”

Dakota, for his part, addressed the footage in a separate statement.

“As anyone who has seen the video will understand, this is a deeply upsetting situation,” Dakota said at the time. “I am, unfortunately, used to these baseless claims about me and our relationship, which I categorically deny. I am focusing on our son and his safety, and hope that Taylor will do the same.”

Dakota has since been granted a temporary protective order against Taylor and given temporary custody of their son, per documents obtained by Us.

Saturday Night Live UK made its television debut by taking aim at ex-prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the deeply unpopular war in Iran and the seemingly endless Beckham family drama.

The UK version of the hit U.S. sketch comedy show — produced by Sky Studios — made its debut on Saturday, March 21, featuring a British cast of comedians. The cast wasted no time in weighing in on some of the world’s biggest news stories.

“Coming up on Weekend Update: pedophila. But first, war!” Weekend Update, the UK version, host Ania Magliano said alongside her cohost, Paddy Young.

After a slew of Iran-related jokes, the pair turned their attention back to the disgraced royal, who was arrested on February 19, his 66th birthday, on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his relationship with Epstein, who died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

President Donald Trump is speaking out after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. “I think it’s a shame. I think it’s very sad,” Trump, 79, told reporters on Air Force One on Thursday, February 19. “I think it’s so bad for the royal family. It’s […]

Mountbatten-Windsor is accused of sharing confidential government information with the late pedophile while he served as a U.K. trade envoy between 2001 and 2011.

“Renovations to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s new home, Marsh Farm, have been taking place over the last month, including installation of Sky TV,” Mangliano said. “So, if you’re watching Andrew, hello! You’re not going to like this next bit. Also, I’m older than I look.”

She continued, “Andrew’s new residence, Marsh Farm, is of course named after the nearby marsh where his body will be found.”

“It was reported this week that the police investigation into Andrew is set to widen,” Young chimed in. “The big question now is, if Andrew is charged, found guilty and put in prison, will he be able to keep his mouth shut?”

The comedian then made a crude joke in reference to the ex-prince’s fictional cellmate’s penis.

Elsewhere during the show — hosted by SNL alum Tina Fey featuring a performance from Wet Leg — the cast took aim at President Donald Trump and his continued war in Iran. Since announcing the U.S. government, along with Israel, launched “Operation Epic Fury,” Trump, 79, has criticized NATO countries for their unwillingness to participate in the war.

“Remember the one where Ross and Rachel were on a break? I think perhaps that’s what we need,” cast member George Fouracres, who played Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the show’s cold open, said to an off-screen Trump via phone. “Not forever. Just until you’ve got all this war out of your system. Listen, we want different things. I know how badly you want to start World War III, and that’s great. You should absolutely do that. But we can’t be a part of it. You can, however, use the naval bases whenever you want.”
