Y’all! Big Sean and Jhené Aiko are once again circling the rumor mill, and this time the timing feels especially noticeable. With Jhené Aiko’s name first in new whispers about a possible fresh relationship, fans have been quick to read between the lines—and naturally, that curiosity has drifted right back to Big Sean and how he might be feeling about it all.

In 2024, Big Sean Addressed Secret Wedding Rumors With Jhené Aiko

During a 2024 appearance on Charlamagne Tha God’s ‘Out of Context’ podcast, Big Sean addressed his long-running, on-and-off history with Jhené Aiko—and more specifically, why marriage still hasn’t happened despite years of connection, collaboration, and even a child together. When asked point-blank if the two had ever secretly tied the knot, Sean shut it down with a laugh. “No, no, there has not been a secret industry marriage,” he said, keeping things light but firm. Still, he didn’t completely dodge the deeper layer of the question, acknowledging that their relationship has never been simple or one-dimensional.

Instead, Sean leaned into reflection, describing their bond as something that’s required constant “navigation” rather than a straight path. He explained that while he sees marriage as the ideal expression of love, he also views the pressure around it through a more cautious lens, pointing to fear and high divorce rates as part of why people rush or hesitate. Even so, he didn’t close the door on the idea entirely—just made it clear that timing and personal work still matter. “There’s a lot of work that needs to be done,” he told Charlamagne at one point.

He also added that he prefers not to overshare the private details of their relationship, signaling that what fans see publicly is only a fraction of what’s actually going on behind the scenes. And while Charlamagne Tha God pushed him to consider the realities of long-term commitment, Sean stuck to his stance that love requires ongoing effort rather than a fixed destination. With fresh rumors now orbiting Jhené’s dating life, fans connect dots, read moods, and wonder whether Sean’s words were just a reflection—or something more pointed.

Beyond the Gates early weekly spoilers for June 22nd through the 26th thrill with Kat Richardson (Colby Muhammad) in a horrible dilemma because everybody is pressuring her to get tested and cough up a chunk of her liver to save her problematic sister, Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle).

We’ll get into all the action coming the week starting June 22nd when we may also see one marriage end and possibly two. And as we do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then we get into the action coming next week, which is when July sweeps kicks off.

Beyond the Gates: Kat’s Liver Donation Dilemma

So, let’s get into it. On Thursday, June 18th, we’ve got Carlton Fitzgerald (Robert Christopher Riley) showing up to alert Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnée Duplaix) to an urgent matter. So, her phone may be off. Obviously, Carlton’s going to find out that Eva is lying at death’s door and that Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson) is distraught and that Nicole’s daughter, Kat, is refusing to even get tested. She doesn’t even want to see or know if she’s a match for her dying sister, Eva.

I’m very interested to see if Carlton shows up at Nicole’s door. Since Kial Rollins (Greg Vaughan) is warming her sheets right now, remember he came over to comfort Nicole. And while she has always told both Kial and Carlton that she is not looking for anything serious, I have to say that what happened between her and Kial was very emotionally intimate.

So, if Carlton shows up and sees Kyle rolling out of Nicole’s bed, I think that is definitely going to bother Carlton understandably. And of course, Nicole’s going to want to go check on Ted. But I think Kat is who really needs her mom right now. I know fans are deeply divided and they hate that Eva’s accident put Kat in this position.

Beyond the Gates: Andre Supports Izaiah

We also have Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) showing up to be there for Izaiah Hawthorne (David Lami Friebe). Already, Andre tried to get up off the couch and hobble to the hospital once he heard about Eva. But then Andre found out that because of the medications that he’s on for his own injury, he is not a viable liver donor. But I can see him having wanted to get tested because he’s related to Eva and he’s friends with her.

And in fact, everybody but Kat has been willing to get tested in the family, especially Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) is frustrated with her. They see her hatred of Eva as a sign that she’s willing to let her sister die. But I did think that Kat did well by clapping back about Eva helping cover up for Dana “Leslie” Thomas (Trisha Mann), who tried to kill Laura Peterson (Destiny Love) twice and who deliberately ripped their family apart with help from Eva.

The Elevator Secret and Family Pressure on BTG

Even though she feels bad about it in hindsight, she was right there in the thick of it. It’s messy. But if Andre can’t donate a chunk of his liver, at least he can be there for Izaiah, who loves Eva and is totally distraught. We also have Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) confronting Bill. If you remember, after they did their elevator sex thing, Dani swore Bill to secrecy. And so far, it is still a secret. But it could be out by the end of this week or into next week when sweeps kicks off.

Eva’s time is rapidly running out. Everybody but Kat has pretty much been tested who’s a relative and who’s viable. And Leslie’s in a panic. But at least Eva is on the public donor registry. But in the end, I think we all know it is going to come down to Kat. And speaking of her, she runs to Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla), who listens as Kat explains herself.

Chelsea’s not a big fan of Kat’s hatred of Eva. And I tend to think that Chelsea will prod Kat in the direction of at least getting tested to find out, you know, because that seems to be a next step. Looks like she is getting tested by the end of the week because of other spoilers that I’m about to share with you.

Beyond the Gates: Family Comes Together and Marriage Troubles

On Friday, June 19th, Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings) and Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) find some common ground, which is surprising. And this may be sympathy for what Ted’s family is going through with Eva and the aftermath of the terrifying tornado. Or it could be about what’s going on with Dani and Bill because that bombshell is going to explode soon.

We’ve got Andre and Bill locking horns by the end of this week. And if Andre hears from Bill about the elevator cheating with Dani, I think Andre is going to be really hurt rather than if Danny told him herself. If she explained the life and death weirdness of it all as a one-off thing, I think that would be better.

Also, the Hawthornes come together for one of their own with Izaiah panicking over Eva’s ticking clock. I expect Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges), Elon Hawthorne (Malachi Malik), and even his mom, Darlene Hawthorne (Monique Mosee), to show up for Isaiah. Hopefully, Leslie will keep a civil tongue in her mouth if Darlene shows up at Garland Memorial.

Kat’s Huge News on BTG

Also, Kat’s life-changing news, and that could be that she’s a match, or it could be that Ted tells her that Eva will die in the next 24 hours without a transplant. There’s going to be some urgency. Ted may beg Kat again to please help her sister. Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) has advice for Kat.

I’m sure Anita is the voice of reason, asking Kat, “As much as you hate Eva and hate Leslie, could you live with yourself if Eva died when you might have been able to save her?” It’s not a fair situation at all for Kat to be in. But that is what makes it oh so soapy, as we know.

Leslie gets good news that’s then snatched away. So, they may find out there’s a donor available for Eva, maybe from the public registry. But then it turns out it’s not viable or there’s a complication. We all know it’s going to come down to Kat.

Beyond the Gates: July Sweeps and Marriage Implosions

The week of June 22nd through the 26th, we’ve got July sweeps kicking off on Thursday, June 25th. So, I think the transplant drama is going to drag out until then. This is clearly supposed to be a redemption story for Leslie when honestly she’s irredeemable. But something to break through her awful, devious nature. But I’m honestly not sure if Eva’s mom is capable of change. She is wicked to the bone. But right now, Leslie’s falling apart and vulnerable. And when faced with Eva’s inevitable death, Leslie’s going to break.

Meanwhile, with the clock running out, Kat’s definitely going to get tested. No doubt she’s going to be a match. But then there’s the step of will she let them cut her open and take a chunk out of her liver to save Eva. In terms of organ donation, you would think that donating part of an organ is better than a whole one, like a liver versus a kidney. But in terms of surgical risk and recovery and potential complications, donating part of your liver is actually more dangerous than giving up a whole kidney. Weird, right?

Beyond the Gates: Kat & Ava Bond as Sisters

So, Kat would literally be putting her own life on the line to save Eva. But in the end, I’m certain she’ll do it. And this is going to be a road to Kat and Eva bonding as sisters because she will literally owe Kat her life. I don’t expect an easy road. And I think Eva should do the heavy lifting. Also, Leslie may find some chill if Kat saves her precious Eva.

But there’s other family drama afoot in sweeps. I don’t think that Heather Armstrong (Ashley Jones) really left town. And I think she’s setting up shop again nearby, right under Joey Armstrong’s (Jon Lindstrom) nose. And Heather seems honestly even more ruthless than Joey and not the type to go away quietly. Plus, they cast somebody who’s a big name from Bold and the Beautiful. She’s been on a lot of other stuff. So, with them bringing in Ashley Jones, I don’t think it’s going to be a couple of episodes and she’s gone.

Beyond the Gates: Dani May Lose Andre

We also have the impending implosion of Dani and Andre’s marriage which could trigger Bill and Haley’s marriage to fall apart. So, Andre may walk out on Dani over this Bill thing and run back to his bachelor pad. And the timing on that could be problematic because Ashley is single and grieving and Andre may turn to Ashley for comfort.

The Duprees will rally around Kat for her heroic donation. And I actually hope that she demands some concessions from Leslie before she agrees to donate. Like she’s got to stop the chow crap. Stop stalking Ted. Stop being horrible to Nicole. Basically, a chunk of liver donated if Leslie agrees to stop being Leslie. We’ll see how it goes.

While there will always be attempts by filmmakers to make striking and compelling works of original art, at the end of the day, filmmaking is still a business with the goal of making financial profit, with one of the most concise and effective ways of making box office profits is through franchises and sequels. There have been many notable sequels released over the years, with some of the most prominent and very best sequels crossing over into the lucrative $1 billion club.

Even as recently as films like Zootopia 2 and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, sequels are continuously finding their way into the $1 billion club as the built-in audience of these beloved movies already sets these films up for success. However, simply having a built-in audience isn’t enough for great success, as the films themselves have to be appealing and well-made to the general audience for them to have such a lasting impact and make a prominent financial success.

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ (2018)

More than just the third film in the Avengers franchise, Avengers: Infinity War in a way acts as a sequel to the entire MCU up to that point, bringing together characters from across the cinematic universe into a glorious love letter with massive stakes and pure passion. It has a lot of the inherent strengths of previous Avengers films, only with an even bigger scale, even more MCU movies to pull from, and one of the most legendary endings in superhero movie history.

The film still stands as one of the absolute highlights of the entire MCU, with great action sequences, a seamless blending of all sorts of memorable characters, and easily the extended universe’s best villain in Josh Brolin‘s Thanos. It stands at the apex of when the MCU was at its most popular, fully realizing the strengths and impact of the franchise in a glorious blend of iconic characters, stellar visuals, and distinct self-aware humor. Even if the MCU never reaches this height again, Infinity War will forever hold a special place in the hearts of the audiences that helped make it one of the few films to gross $2 million at the worldwide box office.

‘Skyfall’ (2012)

The highest grossing film in the James Bond franchise to date, Skyfall exemplifies the greatest strengths of the Daniel Craig era with its mixture of style, high-octane action, and effective symbolic theming. It builds upon the most impactful aspects of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace to create the quintessential modern Bond experience. Even over a decade after its release, the film still has a choke hold over the legacy of modern Bond and continually influences the films, spinoffs, and everything with the 007 name attached to it.

The film acts as this perfect balance between the distinguished strengths inherent to the legacy of James Bond as well as being a massively approachable and widely compelling action thriller. It’s the best of both worlds that resulted in untold amounts of success and cemented Craig’s legacy as one of the greatest to ever take up the mantle of Bond. With a new era of Bond on the horizon, it will be interesting to see just how much this new era will be inspired by films like Skyfall and how it will be able to distinguish from the standard that it set for modern Bond.

‘Ne Zha II’ (2025)

Both the highest-grossing non-Hollywood film and the highest-grossing animated film of all time, Ne Zha II‘s mixture of exhilarating action sequences and loving tribute to Chinese mythology made it an absolute phenomenon for Chinese audiences. It achieved levels of overwhelming success in a single market that is simply unprecedented, as it’s the only film to have grossed over $1 billion in a single market, as well as managing to gross $2 billion in a single market.

While many American audiences simply passed on the film due to a cultural disconnect, the top-notch action and compelling storytelling makes this an absolute blast to watch and arguably greater than many of the animated films coming out of Hollywood in recent memory. Especially considering this level of animated action is so rarely explored at the cinematic scale, Ne Zha II is highly engaging from start to finish and deserves all the praise and success that it has received.

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (2022)

Top Gun: Maverick is a complete anomaly as far as legacy sequels are concerned, as it’s not only one of the very few truly great legacy sequels that lives up to the original, but it’s arguably the only legacy sequel that actually exceeds the quality of the original film. Utilizing exceptional action sequences with real fighter jet action and Tom Cruise at the absolute peak of his modern career, Top Gun: Maverick understood what made the original film such an 80s classic, amplifying and evolving these strengths for the modern era.

These strengths helped make Top Gun: Maverick one of the most successful summer blockbusters of all time, having complete dominance and persistent appeal that lasted throughout the entire summer. Famously the film even managed to retake #1 at the domestic box office on Labor Day weekend in September despite releasing back on Memorial Day weekend in May. Now the film stands as one of the best action movies of the 2020s and one of the faces of 2020s action blockbusters.

‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ (2022)

It would be difficult for any film to act as a sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time, let alone a sequel that is releasing a decade after the previous film made cinematic history in its success. However, Avatar: The Way of Water proved to be entirely worth the wait with its prominent upgrade to visual flair, striking motion capture technology, and a compelling evolution of the Avatar characters and world of Pandora. While 3D filmmaking had largely fallen out of favor by the 2020s, The Way of Water still pushes the technology forward as if its at the forefront of culture.

The film’s various underwater sequences are a glorious sight to behold, feeling masterfully crafted in its execution and finding an effective balance between familiarity and striking new ground with the Avatar franchise. It easily lives up to the quality of the original film, and may just be the highlight of the entire trilogy with its effective emotional moments and great evolutions of classic characters.

‘Toy Story 3’ (2010)

The first animated film to make $1 billion as well as considered to be one of the greatest animated sequels of all time, Toy Story 3 evolves and grows these beloved children’s characters, telling a story not just for children of the next generation, but for those who grew up with the previous films. Considered by some to be the best of the Toy Story franchise, Toy Story 3‘s hard-hitting emotional moments and substantial animation quality upgrade have given it an effective legacy as Pixar’s greatest sequel to date.

It feels fresh and largely distinct from the previous films in its scope, with the entire cast coming together for a compelling prison break plot while dealing with the ramifications and pain of being left behind and forgotten by a child who has all grown up. While the franchise has continued on with subsequent sequels, many people still consider this to be the true finale of the series, acting as a perfect sendoff for these beloved characters that had millions in tears across the world.

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’ (2003)

Considering all the excitement and praise that the initial two Lord of the Rings films had received, it would only make sense that the finale of the trilogy would be the biggest box-office success as well as the most widely-acclaimed of the trilogy. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King delivers on all the build-up and excitement of the previous films, with the perfect mixture of masterful visuals, compelling action sequences, and powerful emotional through lines.

It caps off the classic film trilogy in the absolute best way possible, delivering a true cinematic epic experience on all fronts that simply demands to be seen on the big screen to witness the glory in all its finality. Its success would cement its legacy as the second film to ever cross the $1 billion mark at the box-office as well as the first film of the 21st century to achieve the feat. However, box-office success is not where its accolades would end, as it would also completely sweep the Academy Awards with its 11 Academy Award nominations and winning every award it was nominated for.

‘The Dark Knight’ (2008)

Batman Begins was certainly well-received as far as Batman film adaptations go, but The Dark Knight stands in a league of its own as not just the greatest Batman film, but one of the absolute greatest achievements in superhero filmmaking history. It’s a masterfully concocted action thriller that elevated the genre to new heights and massively influenced blockbuster filmmaking in the wake of its success. Featuring amazing central performances and pitch-perfect pacing, Christopher Nolan‘s superhero masterpiece quickly became a cultural phenomenon and one of the defining cinematic experiences of the 2000s as a whole.

The film delivers everything that one would want out of a sequel, as it ups the ante, takes the beloved characters and delves deeper into their character and psyche, as well introducing a whole new slew of compelling characters that add new, exciting dynamics. Its an action movie that has been analyzed and meticulously picked apart as a masterpiece of the genre ever since its release, as every amazing thing that can be said about the film has been said. Both Batman and superhero movies would never be the same, as The Dark Knight still continues to have an impact on the approach to blockbuster thriller filmmaking.

The 2020s are far from over, yet it’s already been a fantastic decade for horror with exciting new creatives and franchises cropping up left and right. From Danny and Michael Philippou and their excellent feature debut Talk to Me and follow-up Bring Her Back, to Ti West and his X trilogy, Zach Cregger with Barbarian and Weapons, and the recent wave of YouTube creators turned horror maestros, including Mark Fischbach, Chris Stuckman, Kane Parsons, and Curry Barker, new terrifying ideas have been spawning from all corners of the industry and reaching wild new levels of success. Among the biggest breakouts of the early 2020s, however, was undoubtedly Parker Finn with his franchise Smile. The first feature, released in 2022 based on a short film, and its 2024 follow-up were massive hits, earning a combined box office haul of over $350 million and rave reviews from critics and audiences.

Both films used two vastly different characters — Sosie Bacon‘s therapist Rose Cotter and Naomi Scott‘s pop star Skye Riley — to explore the same terrifying premise. In Smile, those cursed by a malevolent entity see constant hallucinations of people unnaturally smiling at them and are haunted by increasingly disturbing visions until, inevitably, they take their own life in front of someone with the same awful grin. The curse is passed to any witnesses, creating a seemingly unending chain that stems back to some unknown origin. It’s a flexible premise that Finn has said he’s open to exploring further if there’s a thoughtful, thematic idea to do so, like with the character-driven first two films. Until a third installment is announced, though, IDW Publishing is giving the burgeoning franchise a new chapter on the page.

The comic giant’s horror imprint, IDW Dark, is expanding its collection of works based on Paramount’s biggest properties. Among them is a new comic titled Any Given Smile, which will take the series’ haunting premise to the gridiron in 1995 against the backdrop of the American Arena League football championship. Entertainment Weekly just shared an exclusive look at the story with five new covers that tie into its themes, from a bloody football that appears to be smiling by Jock, to a grinning quarterback illustrated by Ashley Witter, a torn trading card by Pablo M. Collar, and a haunted gambling underworld brought to life by Martin Simmonds and Joëlle Jones. The GLAAD Media Award-winning Collar also crafted the interior art for the new five-issue series, which was penned by Eisner Award-nominee Stephanie Williams and features colors and letters by Triona Farrell and Ariana Maher, respectively.

What Will ‘Any Given Smile’ Be About?

Any Given Smile will depict the run-up to the big AAL championship, a moment that should be a historic occasion for the Sharks in their 20 years of operation. All their hopes ride on a backup quarterback who has emerged as a star when the lights have shone brightest, but he’s feeling the pressure from his teammates, fans, and the gambling underworld to whom he owes a great debt. Before the game, the community is rocked by a string of mysterious suicides, which sends one suspicious sports journalist digging for any correlation to the game and, particularly, the cloud of sports gambling that looms over it. In reality, the Smile Entity is at work, violently sowing distrust among the community at a time when tensions are high, and the payouts are massive.

Williams told EW that the idea to explore the Smile universe through football was tied to both her love of sports, the nature of the people who play the game, and the increasing presence of sports betting giants like FanDuel and DraftKings in advertising and partnerships with the major sports leagues. It was a rare chance to combine her own interests with a bloody idea that feels right at home with how Finn explored trauma and stardom through his cursed horror.

“Because that universe is often about people who are a little bit broken or just have things going on, football players almost always have some type of drama, some type of backstory that is sometimes a little unsavory. And then also…sports gambling. Very big. Didn’t know that would happen after our pitch, but it just all aligned. So this was the perfect chance for me to get my other fandoms and obsessions into a work.”

Any Given Smile is available to pre-order now from your local comic store. Check out the variant covers courtesy of EW in the gallery above.

So much controversy currently surrounds the BBC, and Doctor Who being put out to pasture is just one of its problems. It was recently announced via the new director general, Matt Brittin, that TV, radio, and news divisions were to face cuts of $107 million in the next two years, with between 1,800 and 2,000 roles being lost. Of course, this puts the future of the entire company in doubt, as such drastic cost-cutting measures can often lead to even poorer results.

Despite this, the show must go on, and the current state of the BBC is still packed with great shows. One of the Beeb’s best thrillers, Vigil, was an undeniable hit when it arrived in 2021, with the premiere scoring 12.75 million viewers in its first 28 days. The second season then became one of the BBC’s top three most-watched dramas of 2023, despite facing critical backlash and being dubbed a disappointment by many fans. In February last year, the announcement was made that this gripping police procedural would return for more, and, over a year later, we finally have our first full glimpse at the chaos to come, courtesy of a trailer available to view below.

Filmed in Svalbard and Scotland, Season 3 takes DCI Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) and Kirsten Longacre (Rose Leslie) to a research station on the Norwegian archipelago, “where a member of a covert British special forces mission has been shot dead,” according to the synopsis. “Amy and Kirsten will need to catch the killer and defuse a potential international confrontation, driven by a land-grab for energy and resources in the changing polar climate, with both their careers and relationship on the line.”

Who Else Stars in ‘Vigil’ Season 3?

Of course, Vigil simply wouldn’t be as binge-worthy as it is without the gripping performances of BAFTA TV winner Jones and Leslie. They will be joined by returnees Gary Lewis as DS Robertson and Dominic Mafham as Sir Ian Dowing in Season 3, although it is the plethora of new faces added to the cast that proves most exciting. This includes Jeppe Beck Laursen (The Last Kingdom), Dept Q. star Steven Miller, Naomi Yang (Under Salt Marsh), Benjamin Wainwright of Belgravia: The Next Chapter fame, Tornike Gogrichiani (Extraction 2), Danusia Samal (Red Eye), and more.
