Former Miss Jamaica is seeking accountability from the Miss Universe Organization following her traumatic experience at a competition last year. Dr. Gabrielle Henry says falling approximately five feet from a stage in Thailand left her with brain and other injuries. Now, she’s suing.
The incident reportedly occurred on Nov. 19, 2025, as Dr. Gabrielle Henry graced the pageant stage in Bangkok, Thailand. She was there for the preliminary portion of Miss Universe’s 74th competition. Henry wore a stunning, shimmery orange evening gown and was preparing to represent Jamaica on stage. All of a sudden, footage showed her body falling off the stage, face forward. Videos following the incident showed medical officials rolling Gabrielle Henry away on a stretcher. She missed the Miss Universe pageant finale the day after the fall and never made it to the finals. This, despite statements from the organization and its owner, Raul Rocha, that Miss Jamaica was in “good care” without “life-threatening injuries.”
What Does The New Lawsuit Against Miss Universe Claim?
Less than a year after the fall, Dr. Henry is ready to tell her story and get her justice. According to PEOPLE, the former Miss Jamaica filed her lawsuit on Sept. 21 in the Delaware Superior Court. She listed the Miss Universe Organization along with several related companies in the paperwork. In her complaint, the beauty queen claims that she followed the rehearsal directions before falling near an unmarked, uncovered opening with lighting equipment. She doesn’t even remember falling and after hitting the bottom of her fall, she allegedly lost consciousness.
“I have no recollection of the fall,” Gabrielle Henry said. “I just know that the bottom of that hole was a concrete base.”
Her first memory post-fall was briefly waking up to her mother’s face. Ultimately, her injuries weren’t so simple. She stayed in the Bangkok hospital, including the ICU, for over a week from Nov. 19 through Dec. 10. Her brain was injured in the fall, including suffering bleeding around and between the brain and in the frontal lobe, which was also bruised. Also, she reportedly suffered from a fracture and facial lacerations. Amid returning to Jamaica, she needed help from a medical escort.

“I know for a fact I did not trip,” the former Miss Jamaica said. “I do think it could have been avoided.”
In her recent comments to media outlets, Gabrielle Henry described sustaining a brain injury as “one of the most traumatizing things.” Adding, “I would not wish it on my worst enemy.”
Despite almost a year of recovery, Dr. Gabrielle Henry says she still feels pain that sometimes keeps her awake at night. She’s also allegedly had to relearn how to walk and undergo physiotherapy and medical monitoring. Professionally, the fall, she says, robbed her of an opportunity to represent her country.
“I’m filing this lawsuit now because accountability matters.”
How Is The Organization Responding?
Furthermore, Gabrielle Henry’s lawsuit claims the danger was avoidable, especially if someone had addressed it before she took the stage. Reportedly, she wasn’t the only one to complain about the stage and its lighting. She says the lighting itself made it hard to see the stage’s end. Allegedly, more lights were added around said stage following her fall.
Meanwhile, the Miss Universe Organization claims it hasn’t received the lawsuit, per Complex and PEOPLE. Previously, it claimed to have covered the former beauty queen’s medical, hospital and rehab expenses in Thailand and her escort back to Jamaica. However, it recently clarified that Henry has not made any separate requests for additional medical costs. She, in her lawsuit, said she has received little comms about her ongoing medical bills.
The Lord of the Rings fans are anxiously anticipating the third season of The Rings of Power, but there’s another release coming to the franchise much sooner. Prime Video has already confirmed that The Rings of Power is returning this November, but a different release schedule means the show will only be on the air for three weeks before going on hiatus for another two years. The show has not been officially renewed for Season 4, but Amazon has already opened a writers room for the series with plans to resume shooting next year. Warner Bros is hard at work right now filming the highly anticipated new movie, The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, which is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 17, 2027. It’s opening on the same day as Avengers: Secret Wars.
One of the more exciting announcements of the year came back when Warhorse Studios, the same developer behind both Kingdom Come games, confirmed that it is actively developing a new open-world Lord of the Rings game that will allow players to explore Middle-earth at their leisure. Another pair of iconic Lord of the Rings games that were released back in 2017 are Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and its sequel, Shadow of War. Fans were taken aback yesterday when developer Aspyr released a new trailer announcing that both games are getting new Definitive Edition releases coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in just one week, on September 30. Better yet, the bundle for both games is currently on sale for a reasonable $34.99, but fans must act fast — the bundle will move to its full price of $69.99 when it launches in one week.

Is Viggo Mortensen in the New Lord of the Rings Movie?
Fans were intensely disappointed this year when it was announced that Viggo Mortensen would not return as Aragorn/Strider in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum. What makes this even more sad is that Mortensen’s co-stars, Elijah Wood and Ian McKellen, are returning in the film as Frodo and Gandalf, respectively, so there was hope that the full band would be back together. Jamie Dornan, best known for his role as Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movies, will take Montensen’s place as a young Strider.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of The Lord of the Rings franchise.

The Young and the Restless prepares as Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Sally Spectra‘s (Courtney Hope) wedding coming up fast. And we know from official fall The Young and the Restless spoilers to expect the unexpected at Billy and Sally’s big day.
So, that’s got me thinking whether we might see some unexpected guest there. Today we’re going to talk about who might crash Billy and Sally’s wedding and cause absolute chaos. Maybe in a good way, maybe in a bad way, maybe both.
Young and the Restless: Prepare for Drama
So, recently in the official The Young and the Restless preview for fall, it said that Billy and Sally’s wedding would be the event of the year and that unanticipated things may happen. Now, we already know things are getting quite interesting because Chelsea Lawson Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) is now one of Sally’s bridesmaids and now it looks like Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) may be attending the wedding.
And then we’ve also got Billy at odds with his mother Jill Abbott (Jess Walton). And even though Billy agreed this week he would invite Jill to the wedding, that doesn’t mean that there won’t be tension between her and Billy, he’s already worried that he and Jill might make a scene at his and Sally’s wedding. So already that’s more than enough drama right there.

But we’re also wondering if there may be some more unexpected guests. Maybe surprises or maybe mean-spirited wedding crashers. Depending on who shows up, it could really shake things up at Sally and Billy’s wedding. But the question is, who might show up and start trouble?
Adam Can’t Resist Provoking Billy on Y&R
And the most obvious place to start is Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). We know that Billy does not want him at the wedding, but Chelsea asked Adam to please come as her date. So, right now, Adam is sort of invited because Sally doesn’t think it would be terrible if Adam came, especially now that Chelsea’s in the wedding party, but Billy is not happy about it and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) doesn’t want Chelsea in the wedding or Adam coming. But if Sally’s okay with it, then Billy has to accept it. So does Audra.
But we know originally Billy told Adam, “Do not come to the wedding.” So something might happen between now and then over the next couple of weeks and Billy’s really annoyed and he may uninvite Adam and says, “Don’t show your face.” If Billy gets angry enough, he might tell Adam, “It doesn’t matter what Sally said. Doesn’t matter that Chelsea’s a bridesmaid. You are not welcome.” And I could see Adam showing up anyway because Chelsea wants him there. Of course, Adam might crash just to get under Billy’s skin. And Adam may even do something insane like speaking up at the speak now or forever hold your peace part of the event.
Young and Restless: Crazy Patty Can’t Stay Away
But at the same time, there’s somebody so much worse than Adam that may crash Billy and Sally’s wedding. And that’s crazy Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk). She loves to wreak havoc on the Abbotts. And of course, she would know that Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) would be at the wedding. So, I could absolutely see Patty using the wedding as an opportunity to do something diabolical. With the Abbotts all in the same place for Billy and Sally’s big day, it is the perfect time for Patty to strike. She might creep in and try to drug and sneak him out of there so you know Patty can run off with Jack.

Or she could poison Diane, try to kill her with a slice of wedding cake. Or Patty could just waltz right into the middle of the wedding, bold as brass just to terrorize and scare the crap out of everybody. Diane is already really scared that Patty’s going to sneak up on them and try to hurt her and hurt Jack. So Patty may show up just to cause chaos and then, you know, run off.
Young and the Restless: Victor Ruins the Big Day
Next up as a possible Billy and Sally wedding crasher is Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). He despises Billy and he doesn’t care for Sally either. So, I could see Victor showing up to curse their union like a goblin from a fairy tale. And of course, that would send Jack through the roof. He’d be furious if Victor showed up and ruined Billy’s wedding. And that might reignite the Victor versus Jack war from the Abbott side. Obviously, Victor’s never dropped the vendetta, but Jack tried to. But if Victor crashes and causes trouble, that could be Jack’s breaking point, and he declares open war on Victor.
So, another possible wedding crasher that could be more benevolent is somebody we’ve never seen before, Sally Spectra’s dad. He was never seen on The Bold and the Beautiful. He’s never been seen on The Young and the Restless. That would be super soapy because Sally doesn’t have a relationship with her alcoholic gambler dad. He always let her down. She and her sister Coco Spectra (Ashley Campbell) were primarily raised by her grandmother Shirley Spectra (Patrika Darbo) and Sally’s sister Coco and her grandma Shirley are coming to The Young and the Restless soon.
The Young and the Restless: Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) – Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope)
Sally’s Parents Finally Appear on Y&R?
So, Sally’s parents have always been offscreen. As far as we know, they’re both still alive. They are carny trash people, but there’s always a chance that Sally’s father could show up and he crashes the wedding so that he can walk Sally down the aisle. Actually show up and do something for her for once. I’m wondering if Billy maybe searches for Sally’s dad so that she’s there.
He’s there to walk her down the aisle. Billy may find him. And you know, initially maybe Sally’s deadbeat dad says no. And if Billy does find and talks to her dad and he says no, I don’t think that he would tell Sally that he found her dad and he refused because there’s no reason for Billy to hurt Sally that way. But Sally’s dad may have a change of heart and he shows up and crashes.
Advertisement
Hopefully, he won’t show up drunk if he does. So, they said on both The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful that her dad has always had a drinking problem, so it could get messy. What would be really wild is if Sally’s dad shows up to walk her down the aisle, but it’s not Billy who arranges to have Sally’s dad at the wedding. Can you imagine if it’s Adam that sets it up? He may think that he would be doing something really nice for Sally to make up for some of the ways that Adam hurt her in the past.
Young and Restless: Sally’s Mom Shows Up?
Related to that, there is an off chance that Sally’s mom could crash the wedding. It’s unclear whether or not Sally’s parents are still married. Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t. But if they are married and her dad crashes, her mom might crash along with him. And if they’re not married, you know, maybe Sally’s mom hears that her ex-husband was invited and she doesn’t want to be outdone, so she shows up on Sally and Billy’s big day.
That would be absolutely crazy soapy. I mean, it’s really sad for Sally that her parents aren’t around for her big day. And obviously, Billy’s dad, John Abbott (Jerry Douglas), has passed away, but his mom will be there, Jill. And I think it could be good if Sally had more family there.
Crazy Possibility on Y&R
The last possible crasher that I can think of, it would be somebody really fun, maybe Sally’s ex fiancé from The Bold and the Beautiful shows up, and that is Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks). He and Sally have a really messy past. When she was losing Wyatt to another woman, Sally faked a terminal illness to try and keep Wyatt.
Advertisement
So, maybe Sally’s ex crashes to warn Billy that Sally’s no good and Wyatt can say that Billy’s getting in over his head with Sally. That would be a fun and dramatic crossover. That being said, I doubt it will happen. I don’t see anybody from The Bold and the Beautiful at Sally’s wedding aside from the other two Spectras, Shirley and Coco. But the spoiler said to expect the unexpected, so a wedding crasher seems likely to me.

In the long list of iconic TV fantasy series, there are quite a few fantastic vampire shows available. From supernatural drama and gothic romances to dark comedies, survival stories, and emotional tales about immortality, the best vampire fantasy shows do so much more than use vampires for style or scares; they turn captivating bloodlust, enthralling power, swoon-worthy love, debilitating loneliness, and heart-pumping danger into stories that feel rich and unforgettable.
Fantasy shows like the beloved series The Vampire Diaries, which turns small-town romance into a sprawling supernatural saga filled with curses, betrayal, witches, werewolves, and love, and action-thriller Van Helsing, which introduces the much darker post-apocalyptic side of vampiric fantasy, are just two series in the heavily coated blood-sucking genre that genuinely feel alive and stand as stunningly captivating. Compiled on this list are nine fantasy shows that feature vampires and stand as 10/10 masterpieces.

‘Interview with the Vampire’ (2022–Present)

Interview with the Vampire is one of the greatest and most overlooked masterpieces in the fantasy genre. Based on Anne Rice‘s novels, the show follows gangster and pimp Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) as he recounts his life with his vampire lover and maker, Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), while navigating the present with a new companion.
Interview with the Vampireis an underrated icon that makes this list because of how it masterfully treats immortality as something cruel, beautiful, seductive, and emotionally devastating. The series is easily a 10/10 masterpiece not only due to the captivating chemistry between its leads, but also because its overall story is genuinely addictive.Interview with the Vampire is enticingly poetic, and few vampire series can match it in craft and richness, making it one of the greatest fantasy vampire shows to ever exist.

‘The Vampire Lestat’ (2026)

This expansion of Anne Rice’s universe stands as one of the strongest modern vampire fantasies ever seen on TV. The Vampire Lestatcenters around the immortal vampire, Lestat, as he’s confronted with his past while navigating his rock-star present, all the while falling into romantic entanglements with various lovers.
The Vampire Lestat is one of the best expansions of not only any vampire series, but any fantasy shows in the genre. The iconic but horribly underrated gem definitely knows how to deliver a vampire legend, as Lestat stands as one of the most magnetic figures in vampire fiction. Very few fantasy series in the blood-sucking TV catalog are able to deliver characters that are actually built for spectacle in the way Lestat and others are. The Vampire Lestat, with its tension, drama, and character chemistry, makes for a truly 10/10 viewing experience, marking the series as a genuine masterpiece among vampire fantasies.

‘The Vampire Diaries’ (2009–2017)

The Vampire Diaries is a trueteen dramaicon that stood at the top of fantasy television during its time on air. Set in the town of Mystic Falls, the series centers on high school student Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), who unknowingly begins to fall for a 162-year-old vampire named Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley). Their growing romance is sent into turmoil when Stefan’s older brother Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) returns home.
The Vampire Diaries is well known for its angst, love triangle romance, and, of course, rather broody vampires. The show is loved dearly for its writing and emotional depth, as it delivers quite the vampiric good time. From the show’s fast-paced mythology to the sizzling chemistry among its leads, The Vampire Diaries is the perfect vampire fantasy TV show for those who are interested in a masterful television landmark that is both swoon-inducing and violently chaotic.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the witty fantasy fans of the genre go crazy for. It’s a true classic staple with likable characters, heartfelt drama, and boundary-breaking writing. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an iconic benchmark for TV fantasy due to both its mythology and genre-savvy dialogue. The show may be one of the oldest on this list, but Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a fantastic vampire TV masterpiece that belongs in any 10/10 conversation, not only because of its influence, but also due to its emotional range that remains enormous.

‘True Blood’ (2008–2014)
Stephen Moyer in True BloodImage via HBO
True Bloodis a vampire fantasy masterpiece beloved greatly for its metaphorical storytelling and bold worldbuilding. Set in Louisiana, the show focuses on telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), who lives in a town where vampires live openly after inventing synthetic “Tru Blood.” There she meets and falls for Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a 174 -year-old vampire, which thrusts her into vampire politics, religions, and war.
True Blood is genuinely one of the best vampire shows ever created. Aired on HBO in 2008, the series is no doubt a mature good time that is definitely not the average vampire teen fantasy. True Blood masterfully blends soap opera romance with southern Gothic drama, exploring vampires’ fight for equal rights and the emergence of extremist groups. Most of the show’s earlier seasons are heavily praised for their gripping plots, with most dubbing it a fantasy masterpiece that stands as a 10/10 vampire drama landmark.

‘A Discovery of Witches’ (2018–2022)

This series may not entirely be about vampires, but with its male lead and iconic, swoony love interest, it makes a perfect addition to this list of fantasy shows rife with vampires.

Van Helsing is an underrated comfort watch that definitely deserves far more recognition than it received. The American-Canadianpost-apocalyptic gemcenters on nurse Vanessa Helsing(Kelly Overton) as she awakens from a coma, only to realize that the world isn’t as she left it; instead, it’s overrun by vampires with civilization broken.
Van Helsing may have a few mixed reviews about some of its later seasons, but it stands as a fantastically creative vampire series. With a mix of sci-fi tropes and supernatural fantasy mischief, the show delivers a captivating watch that masterfully blends horror, action, and mythology. Van Helsing definitely earned its small but devoted fanbase due to how entertaining it is, with its high stakes and grim aesthetic. The show is a brilliant addition to the vampiric genre, one that stands as a truly worthy addition to this list of vampire fantasy masterpieces.
What We Do in the Shadows is ridiculously amusing and delightfully absurd. It’s a true comedic gem that is often praised for its sharp humor and off-kilter cast. What We Do in the Shadows is a loving parody of vampire lore, with impeccable comedic timing and witty writing. The series is truly perfect for fantasy fans in need of a vampire series with a fresh perspective. With a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score and award nominations, the vampiric fantasy comedy is a masterful watch with both clever storytelling and top-tier performances.

‘Moonlight’ (2007–2008)

Moonlight is an underrated cult gem that should definitely be recognized as one of the best vampire fantasies to make it onto TV. The fantasy gem follows the wisecracking private investigator Mick St. John (Alex O’Loughlin), who is secretly a 200-year-old vampire.
Moonlight may have had a short run, but it easily remains one of the greatest romantic vampire fantasies. With its thrilling combination of forbidden attraction, crime cases, emotional restraint, and immortality, the series delivers a moody story about a vampire just trying to live by some sort of moral standard. Moonlight is a genuine one-season masterpiece that is still frequently praised for both its story and charismatic lead performance, marking it as a high-quality—albeit short-lived—vampire drama that is quite masterful.
The father of NHL star Andrei Kuzmenko was killed in a shocking bear attack during a fishing trip on Tuesday, September 22, according to Russian reports. He was 62.
Alexander Kuzmenko and a group of five others had set up camp in a remote area of Russia’s Todzhinsky District when a brown bear emerged from a nearby forest and “attacked Alexander.”
“His friends managed to fight the animal off, drive it away, and administer first aid,” according to a Russian news report. “The injuries were extremely severe, primarily to the face.”
Russian network REN TV was first to report the news, saying “severe facial tissue” was “torn off” Alexander.
Brooke Hogan recalled how her late father, Hulk Hogan, sleeping with one of her best friends caused an irreparable rift in their relationship. “A major turning point came after he slept with my friend Christiane [Plante],” Brooke, 38, exclusively told Us. “I forgive people very easily — sometimes probably too easily — and I forgave […]
“The tourists called an ambulance and arranged to meet at the tourist camp,” the outlet reported. “Due to the lack of roads, travel in the area was only possible by water. The descent took about four hours.”

Once the group finally reached first responders, Alexander was airlifted to a local hospital where the longtime hockey coach eventually succumbed to his injuries.
It has been a record year for bear attacks in Russia, per REN TV, with at least 15 people killed. The area in which Alexander and his group had set up was previously restricted by Russian authorities due to heavy bear activity.
Andrei, 30, is currently preparing to enter his first season with the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins.
“The Pittsburgh Penguins organization was deeply saddened this morning to learn of the passing of Andrei Kuzmenko’s father, Alexander,” Penguins president and general manager Kyle Dubas said in a statement. “Our deepest thoughts and sympathies are with the Kuzmenko family and their loved ones as they grieve the loss of Alexander. We ask that the privacy of Andrei and the Kuzmenko family be respected at this time.”
A new video shows the moments before Arizona State hockey player Matthew Mayich collapsed during a controversial outdoor team workout last month, leaving him in the hospital with “zero chance of recovery.” The video, obtained and published by Arizona’s Family on Tuesday, September 22, features Green Beret Tim Ziesel running the workout on the field […]
Dubas, 40, added, “Andrei chose to be surrounded by his teammates and practice with the team this morning before returning to Moscow to be with his family this afternoon. Andrei and the Kuzmenko family have the full support of the Penguins organization during this time.”

Pittsburgh is scheduled to open the 2026-2027 regular season on Wednesday, September 30, on the road against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Days of Our Lives spoilers for Sept 28-Oct 2, 2026 stun with Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) sinking to a brand new low with a sneaky new plan to destroy Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson)’s marriage. Plus, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) may cross a big line that she has been warned not to cross.
Also, the week ahead, Sept 28th through Oct 2nd, we’re going to see Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) blindsided and some key memories returning and Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) taking a big risk for Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey). So, let’s dive right into it.
And as we always do on early edition day, first we’re going to go over what’s happening the last couple of days of this week and then we will get into what is coming next week.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Leo & Javi Reunite
So let’s talk about it. Thursday, Sept 24th on Days of Our Lives, we’re going to see Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and Javi Hernandez (Jacob Martinez) testing the waters. So it looks like they are going to start rekindling their romance now that Gus (Michael Ocampo) and Dmitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte) are both out of the way. The question is whether Gus and Dmitri are gone for good or if Javi and Leo reunite, will they come back and interfere?

Also, Sydney DiMera (Sydney Malakeh) tells Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) not to back down. Johnny doesn’t want his younger sister Sydney getting dragged into EJ DiMera’s (Dan Feuerriegel) chaos. The basically Johnny stuck neck deep in it now. But Sydney’s a daddy’s girl and she may stick around to help EJ sort this out or help Johnny sort things out.
DOOL Spoilers: Chad Supports Belle
Belle Black (Martha Madison) is leaning on her boyfriend Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) when she has concerns. So, Belle may be worried about Marlena and her reaction to the Dominic Marino photo from 1992. Or Belle may be sharing with Chad this disturbing news about Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti) and Dominic and their overlap that they just found out about.
Because Sydney told her aunt Belle and Grandma Marlena she had heard Dominic’s name. But Sydney said she’d never met him. And then Belle told Sydney and Marlena that Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney)’s fiancée Dante Vitali and Dominic Marino were boarding school roommates. So that means Dante and Dominic are both sketchy.
Cat Greene‘s loyalties to EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) are called into question this week. Cat’s ranting at EJ about how he knows damn well what’s going on and Cat says she does too. So I wonder after this argument if Cat and EJ end up in bed together because arguing leads to nookie on soaps. We’ve all seen it. If Cat wants to stay close to EJ, she may take her honeypot scheme to the next level by hopping into his bed. Even though Andrew Donovan (Colton Little) directly ordered Cat do not have sex with EJ.

Days Spoilers: Paulina Goes Rouge
Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) directly defies Lani Price (Sal Stowers) and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens)’s wishes. We know that Paulina’s been considering trying to get Lani a pardon from the governor and we’ll see if Paulina’s meddling has to do with both of her daughter’s lives or just one. Maybe they have given some advice to her. Maybe Chanel and Lani have talked to Paulina about Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and they’re bothered that she’s not taking their advice.
Friday, Sept 25th on Days of Our Lives, Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) is officially welcomed to the Spectator by Chad. I think she’s the Metro editor, city editor. Kate has Leo working on podcast concepts and he’s really excited. Kate may also use the Spectator platform to clap back at EJ DiMera. Because what he has done to the Kiriakis family.
Also, Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) decide to give their broken relationship a do-over. Now that Philip has forgiven Gabi for spying and she gave that $5 million loan to Philip that helped him win the money to save Titan. That was a game-changer. And I wonder if Gabi’s going to invite homeless Philip to stay with her at the Hernandez house.
Marlena is disturbed by a brand new nightmare. She’s been having those random memories of her time on the island under Stefano’s control and the quilt with the Celtic cross on it. So, we’ll see more evidence of Marlena being Dominic’s mom. Maybe a flash of Marlena with a baby bump or even holding a baby.

DOOL Spoilers: Bearers of Bad News
Then Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) and Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso) give Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) some really bad news about Dominic. After Steve talks to Bo and Hope, we’re going to see Steve head over to Marlena and he tells her that they were able to find Dominic Marino’s birth certificate. Steve shows Marlena a digital copy. And Marlena’s reading aloud Stefano DiMera is Dominic’s father. And Marlena says, “And the mother is.” She just looks shocked. So presumably it is her name there. But we’ll know by the end of the week.
Belle is going to be really shaken to find out that she and her ex EJ share a brother, which also means Belle and her current boyfriend Chad now share a brother, which is pretty weird. But very soap opera normal. I’m interested to see if Dominic is going to want a relationship with Belle, or if he hates her, like he seems to hate EJ since Dominic is clearly plotting against his older brother.
Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) and Sarah suspect some foul play. They know EJ is behind this investigation into Destiny’s death, but I wonder if we might see Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) coming back if Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) goes and asks him to intervene on Sarah’s behalf with Destiny’s family and just put an end to this farce.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) – Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord)
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Dominic’s History Revealed?
Then the week of Sept 28th through Oct 2nd on Days of Our Lives, Marlena may have more flashbacks. Perhaps about her time on Stefano’s island related to Dominic, maybe as a baby. Also, Sydney is going to make herself quite at home in Salem. She has decided to stay for a while longer, and I think it’s going to turn into a long-term visit and not just a short stay. And by the way, Titan may not be safe after all.
Dominic may make his move on the floundering company and Philip mentioned that they just need to get the transfer of the money he won from the casino before EJ’s deadline to pay off the loan. So, Dante may delay the transfer. Because Dominic asked him to. He may even buy the loan out from under EJ or something like that. I suspect that Stefano’s new son is trying to fulfill his dad’s wishes by finishing off the Kiriakis family personally and professionally.

Days Spoilers: Theo Accepts Gabi’s Offer?
Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) may decide to take that job at GabiChic. He was telling Abe that Gabi wants his computer savvy to follow the rabbit hole to whoever’s IP address that was that Leo found on the dark web about the counterfeit goods. So, this might be awkward for Theo since he had that unrequited crush on Gabi and now she’s back with Philip. So, that might be hard. But he’s focused on Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) right now, too. Actually, he’s focused on not trying to focus on Stephanie.
Dante seems to be helping Dominic destroy EJ. And we’re going to find out if Sami is a pawn in the game. Joy may be able to fake it through those medical tests with those muscle relaxers her dad Craig sent her. So, she may be able to keep that fake paralysis going for a while longer. Joy should be out of the hospital soon and may pressure Alex to stay with her until she recovers. So, he may bring her home to his place where he’s been keeping Kelsey.
Philip and Xander work to rebuild Victor’s empire. We’ll see if Titan slips through their fingers. And we’ll see if Philip is done gambling or is tempted back into addiction. Xander’s going to risk things for Sarah. He might wind up in danger with EJ over Sarah. Johnny’s finding it increasingly more difficult to keep the truth from Chanel. And Theo and Stephanie may cross that line, especially if she freaks out. Because Alex has to do even more hands-on caretaking with Joy.

Collider’s Steve Weintraub talks with Shamier Anderson for Call Me Tim at TIFF 2026.
Anderson discusses the inspiration behind his new filmmaking endeavor, the making of Call Me Tim, and his future plans for the short film.
Anderson also reflects on John Wick, shares his passion for collecting, and discusses the ending of Apple TV’s sci-fi series, Invasion.
Actor Shamier Anderson is best known for his roles in Syfy’s Wynonna Earp as Xavier Dolls, the bounty hunter known as The Tracker in John Wick: Chapter 4, and as Trevante Cole in Apple TV’s stunning sci-fi series Invasion. Now, he’s stepping behind the camera for his directorial debut, Call Me Tim, in which Anderson took full creative control of the 18-minute short film, serving as writer, producer, director, and lead.
Call Me Tim is a deadpan mockumentary that centers on a city outsider who purchases a rural hunting shop, inadvertently causing a rivalry with a local animal rights activist.
In this interview with Collider, Anderson stops by the Collider Media Studio, presented by Campari and The Cayman Islands, to discuss how he initially embarked on this new creative endeavor, taking us from the script to filming with friends at home in Toronto.
“I’m embarking on a new journey, Steve, where, as a creative, you kind of get bored, and you start doing things in your off time, so I wrote a script. Not only did I write a script, I decided to shoot this script and made it a short film, and this short film is called Call Me Tim. In short, it’s following the Blackest redneck in the north, and I play the Blackest redneck. It’s a comedy, clearly. It’s not a drama, because that would be very bad — or maybe it’d be very good.
It was a passion project, because when I’m not working on set and doing these big, big franchises and big hundred-million-dollar movies, I like to be on the farm. I like to be in the wilderness, I like horses, I like country shit — I got shit-kickers on, which is cowboy boots, for those who don’t know that specific term — and it was important for me to capture that. So, I made a short film with my friends, shot it at home in Toronto for two or three days, edited it, I submitted it to a festival, and I got into the Toronto International Film Festival on the Shortcuts program, and we sold out both nights, which is amazing.”

Anderson goes on to map out his plans for the future, for fans to see Call Me Tim in a longer format, and the shows that inspired him, explaining:
“The dream is I’m a big fan of shows like Letterkenny with Jared Keeso, Shoresy, Trailer Park Boys, a big fan of Christopher Guest and all the mockumentaries he’s made. So, my North Star is to turn this into a long format, and I think Hollywood consumers want to see things fairly quickly, and instead of me pitching a script, which is the traditional way of doing things, I used this proof of concept to go into the market. And surprisingly, I’ve been getting a lot of calls about this from some high-level producers that want to meet with me on this.
So yeah, I definitely want to turn Call Me Tim into a series, and hopefully, the next time we talk about it, ‘Shamier, Netflix just bought your show in a competing situation, and Apple can’t get it,’ type of thing. Knock on wood, hopefully.”
The filmmaker and actor also reflects on why bringing his debut to TIFF is so special, sharing it with his family, and plays a fun round of Get to Know Shamier Anderson! Check out the full conversation in the video above, with time codes provided below.

Whew, Roommates! What’s your petty level when it comes to an ex? The internet thinks Russell Simmons might’ve just taken his OFF the meter with his latest message for Kimora Lee Simmons. The record executive hopped on social media with a few words for his ex-wife while sharing an AI video trend that has folks side-eyeing and asking, “What was the reason?” Kimora hasn’t responded to Russell’s just yet, but fans wasted NO time stepping in and calling out what they felt was a lil’ shade in Russell’s post.
Russell Simmons Raises Eyebrows With AI Video Featuring Kimora Lee Simmons
Y’all know the internet LOVES a good trend! The latest one taking over social media has folks creating their own AI versions of Quavo and Takeoff’s viral performance of their hit single, ‘HOTEL LOBBY.’ Russell Simmons decided to join the fun on Instagram, but chileeee, he chose Kimora Lee Simmons as his wing woman. The video alone threw fans for a loop, but Russell’s message alongside it really left folks confused. He reflected on their marriage and friendship, writing, “We worked good as a team for 15 years of dating and marriage and Another 20 years as very close friends after..also as i hope you know.”
From there, Russell congratulated Kimora on her new documentary, ‘Kimora Lee: On Her Own,’ which is currently streaming on Lifetime. But he didn’t stop there. Russell seemingly hinted that he might eventually tell his side of the story, too! Whew, it looks like some tea is brewing!
“I’m still available for my 3 godchildren and when my story is told i will only remember you fondly praying for your continued success. Congratulations on your new documentary and I hope ur next chapter is a home run,” he wrote.
Social Media Side-Eyes Russell’s Message For Kimora
Y’all already know once The Shade Room dropped Russell’s video and message, the Roommates went OFF in the comment section. Some folks said if they were Kimora, they would be popping on Russell over the post. Meanwhile, others felt he could’ve simply picked up the phone and called her instead of sharing his post.

Russell & Kimora Previously Traded Words Online
Even though Kimora hasn’t entered the chat with a response to Russell’s latest post, they have traded words online before. Back in December, things between the Baby Phat queen and Def Jam Records founder got a lil’ spicy after Russell seemingly called Kimora out for capping! Russell appeared to question Kimora’s claim to PEOPLE that she doesn’t “really have a relationship with her kids’ fathers.” He fired back, saying he has continued to support her and their two daughters, Aoki and Ming Lee Simmons, and serve as a godfather to her other three children.
“I gave u $50,000 a month for 20 years. I was ur best/only friend. I’m the godfather to your other 3 kids, until one day you stole my stock. I have been fighting for my kids love and my bread ever since. You threatened that if I sued you, I would never speak to my kids again. There are two sides to every story.”
Kimora wasn’t feeling his clap back AT ALL! She quickly hit her Instagram Story with a message of her own and accused Russell of being the one who wasn’t telling the truth.
“My ‘girls’ are GROWN WOMEN! You know these are lies. Why are you typing from thousands of miles away in a non extradition country?” Kimora said, referring to his current living location in Bali. “Go negotiate and answer your accusers.”
