While most people visit Las Vegas to do some gambling, enjoy the nightlife, and get away from colder temps for a fun getaway, there are other things to do not far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Vegas is also known for its beautiful scenery, great hiking trails, and picture-perfect sights just a short drive from the neon lights. 

One place that outdoor enthusiasts should add to their to-do list when visiting Vegas is Grand Canyon West. Just a two-hour scenic drive from the world-famous Las Vegas Strip, this is an amazing place to spend a day enjoying nature in a unique and memorable way. 

In a recent episode of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” fans got to see the reality stars experience Grand Canyon West while they were on their Vegas girls’ trip. 

When the housewives of Orange County visited Las Vegas for an episode, their adventure took them way off the Strip to see some amazing sights at Grand Canyon West.

The caption on Grand Canyon West’s Instagram post shared some information about what they did while visiting.

“The episode aired Thursday, August 20 on Bravo and shows the OC Housewives experiencing one of Grand Canyon West’s most recognizable attractions — the breathtaking Skywalk,” the caption reads.

“Located on the Hualapai Reservation just 2 hours east of Las Vegas, Grand Canyon West offers visitors an unforgettable opportunity to experience the beauty and adventure of the Grand Canyon from a unique perspective. During the episode, the Housewives take in the spectacular views from the glass Skywalk, which extends 70 feet over the canyon’s rim and offers a thrilling vantage point approximately 4,000 feet above the canyon floor below.”

They also explored the area a bit and did some ziplining.

‘They Were Fantastic’

Paul McGuire, Chief Marketing & Revenue Officer at Grand Canyon West, told The Blast exclusively that the housewives were a “hoot.” 

“I actually brought them out to the Skywalk, to the arch of the Skywalk,” he said. “Tribal members brought out champagne and we all toasted to the housewives being there.” 

He then broke the group into two smaller groups; one went ziplining and the other group went to Guano Point where they shared and opened up amongst themselves.

“I was there while they were having their conversations. It’s a lot more organic than I thought. My perception was it’s contrived and all that good stuff, but it was very, hey listen, have a chat about this and see where it goes,” McGuire told The Blast exclusively. “They were fantastic, by the way. The interaction amongst themselves, it’s a feeling like they’re a bunch of college girls doing their thing. They were fun, funny, really gracious, really sweet. We’d love to have them back.”

‘RHOC’ Wasn’t The Only Show To Film At Grand Canyon West

“RHOC” wasn’t the first to take advantage of the absolutely majestic and beautiful scenery to highlight on the show. 

“Filming is a great opportunity. And coming from Vegas, filming and content creation and making the destination available to any and all is really important,” he said. “We make it easy for you to do business with us and shoot content.”

McGuire oversees the filming component of a visit. As long as it’s respectful to the tribe and the land, and the content is appropriate, he’s ready to say yes! 

“An example of that is Disney. This past year, Disney came in. They have a new attraction called Soaring Around the World, where they feature prominently major experiences and destinations and we are represented there,” he shared. “We’ve had the Discovery Channel out. We were on ESPN and had Barstool Sports, National Geographic, Virgin Atlantic, and that’s just within this past year.”

Traveling From Las Vegas To Grand Canyon West Is Part Of The Experience

The adventure begins long before you arrive at Grand Canyon West if you’re taking the trip from Las Vegas. McGuire said there’s a misconception about just how far away it is from Sin City.

“I drive there at least once a week. It’s a beautiful scenic two-hour drive. You pass through Boulder City, where the community that built the Grand Canyon exists. You come upon Washoe Tree Forest, which is absolutely beautiful and stunning,” he said. “And then once you get there, your jaw just drops. We’ve all seen pictures of it, but nothing compares to actually physically being there. It’s literally one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the only one in North America.” 

If you don’t want to drive from Vegas, there are other ways to get there that are just as scenic. There are bus tours that go from Vegas to Grand Canyon West, as well as a small plane or helicopter.

“You can actually fly from Boulder City in a fixed wing aircraft, and it’s about a 40-minute flight. You’re flying over Lake Mead and there’s also narration behind it, kind of telling you about the history in the background and what you’re seeing,” he said. “You can also get a helicopter from the Las Vegas airport. A bucket list experience for sure.”

There’s Plenty To Do And See At Grand Canyon West

A visit to Grand Canyon West isn’t just about taking in the beauty of the area. There are also other things to do while there.

One unique way to check out the sights is to take a walk on the iconic Skywalk. According to Grand Canyon West’s website, “You can step out on the 10-foot wide, horseshoe-shaped glass bridge extending 70 feet out over the rim of the Grand Canyon. If you dare to look down, you’ll see breathtaking views 4,000 feet to the Canyon floor below.”

McGuire said it’s best to give yourself at least three hours to enjoy everything, depending on what you’re most interested in doing while visiting.

“Just the tranquility, I love just grabbing a sandwich or coffee and going out to Guano Point and just absorbing and taking it all in. There’s a sense of peace and serenity there for sure,” he said. “There’s a lot to do, a lot to take in, but just being there and seeing it with your own eyes is breathtaking.”

There’s also a zipline experience to enjoy, cafes and restaurants, Indigenous song and dance performances, walking trails, an arcade, and more.

As someone who is 5’3″, I’ve learned that not every fall dress is ideal for a petite frame (no matter how much I want to make it happen). Dresses with too much fabric quickly swallow me up, which is why I gravitate toward shorter hems, defined waists and lengthening silhouettes. I also give out bonus points if I can wear the styles before fall actually arrives.

The 17 stylish dresses on my list feature the petite-friendly designs that look great on my shorter frame. Think flirty minis, cinched wrap styles and expensive-looking knits that bridge the gap between late-summer heat and crisp fall days. And with prices starting at $7, transitioning my closet with these flattering dresses won’t mean blowing my fall shopping budget.

17 Petite-Friendly Dresses for the Summer-to-Fall Transition

1. My Favorite: This olive mini dress is exactly what I want to wear during those not-so-quite fall days. The higher waist helps visually lengthen legs, while the short, flowy skirt won’t overwhelm a petite frame.

2. Paisley Pick: I’m trading bright summer florals for this paisley-print dress. The brown and orange tones instantly give it an autumnal feel, while the flowy skirt keeps it light enough for those still-warm September days.

3. Legs for Days: I’m taking full advantage of mini dress season before tights become necessary. This ribbed sweater dress shows plenty of leg, and the fitted waist creates an extra-flattering shape.

4. Wrap Star: I’ll never say ‘no’ to a wrap mini dress, especially when it comes in this gorgeous emerald green. The tie waist lets you customize the fit while simultaneously creating an hourglass appearance.

5. Sweet Spots: I almost missed the tiny polka dots on this emerald wrap dress, but they’re my favorite part. The sheer sleeves and ruffle hem give it a playful twist.

6. Cream Dream: There’s something about a cream cable-knit dress that instantly makes fall outfits look more expensive. This sweater dress turns the classic into an entire outfit. Bonus: The mini length keeps it proportional.

7. Rich Mom Knit: This luxe-looking mini is like something a rich mom would wear for a fall lunch at the country club. The defined waist and flared mini skirt give it that polished, perfectly put-together shape.

8. Sweet Swirls: I’m already picturing how good this belted mini dress will look in motion. The floaty skirt brings the drama, and the defined waist keeps all that volume from swallowing my frame.

9. Desk to Dinner: I love a dress that doesn’t require an outfit change after work. This caramel midi dress looks polished enough for the office, but the V-neckline and waist-cinching tie make it cute enough for dinner afterward.

10. Trending Now: I’m seeing chocolate brown everywhere this fall, so naturally this lace-detail sweater dress caught my eye. The peekaboo hem gives the oversized silhouette a flirty twist.

11. Plaid Please: Nothing gets me into fall mode faster than a little plaid. This green sweater dress sneaks the print onto the neckline and hem, giving the cozy ribbed knit a preppy feel.

12. Season Switch: I’m not packing away every summer dress just yet. This navy floral mini only needs a suede bag and boots to make the jump from sunny afternoons to crisp fall weekends.

13. Snatched in Sage: When I’m not in the mood for head-to-toe brown, I’m grabbing this sage green dress that feels perfect for the seasonal shift. The waist-cinching silhouette also looks so cute with tall boots.

14. Romantic Type: This muted floral dress is giving me romantic fall weekend energy. The soft brown blooms, sheer sleeves and ruffled skirt would look so pretty for a date night, bridal shower or early-fall wedding.

15. Seeing Spots: This spotted mini dress is a fun break from all the florals I usually reach for in early fall. The warm caramel palette feels seasonal, while the tiered skirt keeps it playful and breezy.

16. Looks Expensive: This ivory knit dress is giving me major designer energy without the designer price tag. The gold-tone buttons and faux-pocket details make the simple silhouette look instantly more luxe.

17. Petite Steal: Finding a longer dress that won’t overwhelm my frame is already a win — scoring one for $7 is even better. This green midi dress is designed with a higher waist to break up the length and elongate proportions.

Bruce Springsteen is standing ten toes behind his recent political commentary.

The iconic musician is addressing the strong opinions surrounding his vocal political stance during his latest concert run, and while his outspokenness has drawn various reactions, he remains unbothered by critics.

While Springsteen’s political stance is undeniably bold, it has come at a price, and the singer has had to “beef” up security during his tour after receiving extensive death threats.

The 77-year-old rock legend is standing firm behind the outspoken themes featured throughout his recent “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour across North America.

Reflecting on the tour in a conversation with Rolling Stone, Springsteen explained that he felt a strong desire to present a specific narrative and message on stage each night. 

He acknowledged that his outspoken views provoked fiery pushback from certain concertgoers and critics, then he emphasized that varying reactions are simply part of performing live.

“This was the show I wanted to make, the story I wanted to tell,” he said. “I went out to find its audience, and I’m sure there were people, and I’ve read things where people were vehement about the content of the show, and that’s just the way the chips fall… And that’s okay with me right now.”

Addressing his decades-long career, the artist noted with a sense of humor that his advanced age gives him total freedom to pursue whatever creative vision he chooses. He also pointed out that following his own creative instincts has defined his entire journey in the music industry.

The Musician Stands Firm On Longstanding Social Principles

Despite the continuous pushback regarding his statements, those in the musician’s inner circle emphasize that his core philosophy remains completely unchanged.

According to The Blast, insiders previously revealed that the iconic artist has no intention of toning down his commentary. Instead, they pointed out that public engagement has defined his career since 1978. 

While close associates acknowledge that his statements have become significantly more direct in light of recent political developments, they insist his underlying principles haven’t shifted at all. 

However, where he once relied on subtle metaphors during live sets, he now addresses current events directly without altering his core values.

“He went from subtle messages about politics to blatantly saying things, but he’s not more political now than he once was,” they stated.

Bruce Springsteen’s Fellow Rock Veterans Questioned His Onstage Advocacy

5

Springsteen has not only received backlash from his fans, but also from the broader rock community and fellow music icons.

The artist’s outspoken approach sparked dynamic debate among his peers, with prominent musicians challenging the role of personal commentary during live performances, as reported by The Blast.

Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain voiced strong opposition to bringing current events onto the concert stage. He argued that performers should prioritize providing pure entertainment over sharing their personal worldviews. 

Notably, Cain’s comments aligned with reservations expressed by Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger regarding the atmosphere at modern rock shows. Jagger clarified that he occasionally incorporates subtle social commentary into his songwriting, but still emphasized that live events should offer fans a complete break from daily anxieties.

Bruce Springsteen Slammed Donald Trump As ‘Reckless’ & ‘Racist’

Despite the continuous criticism, Springsteen has continued to speak up against the current administration. During a spring performance in New York, he addressed the crowd before the music began and voiced support for military personnel stationed in international conflict zones.

He wasted no time saying how he felt about the president, saying, “Our democracy, our constitution, our rule of law, are being challenged right now as never before by a reckless, racist, incompetent, treasonous president and his ship of fools administration.”

The singer then concluded his remarks with a direct call for collective civic action, urging attendees to stand firm against political division, as reported by The Blast.

Bruce Springsteen Enforced Heightened Security Measures Implemented Following Hostile Threats

5

Shortly before his bold political commentary onstage, reports surfaced, revealing that the singer had to reinforce his security due to the heightened threats. 

According to The Blast, E Street Band guitarist Stevie Van Zandt disclosed that the deliberate political narrative running through their performances prompted a surge in hostile messages, including targeted death threats directed at members of the group. 

As such, the band had to bring in federal authorities to monitor potential risks and ensure audience safety at every stadium stop.

“This tour has been a little bit different because of the high security… It’s a very specific political theme to this tour, and there’s been a lot of threats, death threats. Usually, there’s always some, but this time it’s been increasing,” he revealed.

However, despite the tension and heightened safety protocols, the band remained committed to fulfilling their itinerary without altering the show’s core message.

Chris Rock pitched a “white slavery show” as the latest spinoff in Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe.

“Hey, if Taylor Sheridan’s got a job for me, I will take that job,” Rock, 61, told Variety in a recent interview. “I could be the Black guy on Yellowstone, no problem.”

The comedian joked about possible ideas he could bring to the table.

“I could just be the Black guy that owns some land and has, like, white slaves,” he quipped. “Taylor Sheridan, let’s do the white slavery show! I’m the guy!”

Sheridan, 56, got his start as an actor before writing scripts for movies including Sicario, Hell or High Water and Wind River. His focus later shifted to the small screen, which is how Yellowstone was born. The hit series aired from 2018 to 2024 as viewers tuned in for updates on the fictional Dutton family.

As the Yellowstone universe expanded with spinoffs such as 1883 and 1923, Sheridan also created original shows Landman, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness and Tulsa King.

“Because Paramount trusts me and gives me the time to go shoot 10 to 14 days for a television episode, we can treat it like a movie, and it looks like a movie,” Sheridan told Deadline of his production process in January 2022. “We can take the time to rehearse it and light it and build these set pieces. And if I call them and say, ‘I need two helicopters in one day,’ they just go, ‘Alright.​​’”

He added: “At the end of the day, to go to some of these locations where most people have never been, where you’re opening up a new world, and all of these places or characters in the story, to me, it’s fascinating.”

Sheridan has scored major A-list actors for his shows — from Kevin Costner and Harrison Ford to Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore. Others have publicly pitched themselves for the opportunity to work with the producer.

Yellowstone is known for its over-the-top plot lines and complicated family drama, but the show’s cast and crew has also been involved in plenty of offscreen controversy over the years.

Meanwhile, Kris Jenner‘s boyfriend, Corey Gamble, dropped a bombshell during season 4 of The Kardashians when he suggested he almost had a role on Yellowstone. In one September 2023 episode, Jenner, 70, recalled her boyfriend’s unexpected connection to the hit series.

“I am so excited to watch the next episode of Yellowstone,” she told Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian. “So they asked Corey to be on Yellowstone. And he said no. I told him to say no. I thought he was going to have a romantic relationship.”

Gamble, 45, noted that he would have said yes to the opportunity, adding, “If it wasn’t for you, I would be a Yellowstone star.”

General Hospital has Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) determined to make Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) pay for trying to kill her, but Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is certain that Anna wouldn’t have really killed Britt.

This is about to cause some serious discord in Jason and Britt’s relationship, and it could absolutely end them. We are going to talk about General Hospital setting the stage for Jason to call it quits with Britt and it’s all about Anna.

General Hospital: Rocky Road Ahead for Jason & Britt

So, as you know, Jason was there for Britt when she needed him, but that may change soon because you can already see that Jason does not want Anna to get locked up for this incident. And that’s going to cause serious problems between Jason and Britt. Not only is Anna nearly shooting Britt a huge problem for their future, but also some of her recent past with Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) is going to be another problem.

An official Fall spoiler for General Hospital says that decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for Jason and Britt to survive as a couple. And of course, all the Cullum stuff ties back to both Anna and to Britt. That’s important. So, it absolutely sounds like this situation with Anna will end up tearing Britt and Jason apart.

We can see that Jason is very sympathetic towards Anna because of the PTSD that Ross caused. But does that outweigh the PTSD that Anna just caused Britt? Because she is traumatized. She’s reeling and she wants Anna to pay for trying to kill her. But more so, I think Britt wants Anna locked up because she thinks Anna’s crazy. And I suspect more than anything, Britt’s terrified if Anna’s not locked up, she may come and try to kill her again.

GH: Everyone Piles on Britt

And so Britt’s annoyed with everybody because Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner), Emma Scorpio Drake (Braedyn Bruner), Jason, and the others all have unlimited compassion for Anna because they know she’s a good person who has helped a lot of people.

Plus, Anna’s friends and family all know that she went through horrifying trauma because of Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Cullum. But they’re not really thinking about the fact that Britt did, too. And yes, Britt has a history of crimes, but Sidwell and Cullum gaslit her into thinking she had Huntington’s, a fatal illness.

And then they blackmailed her by offering her what they said were life-saving drugs, and then threatened her with withholding them. So, Emma was pleading with Britt, please show Anna some compassion. And then Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) and Felicia also piled on and reminded Britt she’s done bad things that she wasn’t punished for and should show grace. But this aggravated Britt.

General Hospital: Britt is Appalled

She’s flipping out because nobody seems to care. She was legit almost killed by Anna and buried in a shallow grave out in the woods. But Lucas also said Britt makes it hard for people to care about her because she lashes out when people try and help her. And now, of course, she’s doubling down and vowing that Anna will pay for trying to murder her. I think that is her terror talking more than anything. And yes, we have to admit Anna did go through trauma when she was gaslit by Cullum. That was for a few months. Britt was terrorized by them for several years.

And yes, Anna had years of Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) trauma in her history, decades of it. But in a way, Britt did too, growing up with Faison as her father and being subjected to his psychotic whims and expectations. Plus, as Britt said today, Anna was going to kill her in punishment for a situation Britt never wanted to be in just because of her awful father, Faison. Britt didn’t choose to be Faison’s daughter. And I tend to think that unfortunately Jason is going to be of the same mindset as everybody else.

Jason Asks Britt to Reconsider on GH

I think that Jason is going to tell Britt she needs to show Anna some grace because of how much grace Britt has been shown over the years. But I think what she really wants is to feel safe. And Jason makes her feel safe. But now he’s changing his tune because he also cares for Anna and wants her safe. And of course, Jason’s going to do all that he can to stop Britt from having Anna arrested or Britt going after Anna herself. Along the way, I think Jason is going to find out from Britt or maybe from the WSB channels that Britt knew more about Anna’s captivity than she’s admitted.

I’m sure from Britt’s perspective, she couldn’t do anything to help Anna because Britt’s life was also at risk. I suspect she knew they had taken Anna and stashed her at Wyndemere, although I doubt Britt knew they were going to ship her off to France or what happened there. But given that Britt was working down in those tunnels, there’s no way that she didn’t know Anna was there.

General Hospital: Jason Horrified by Britt’s Actions

So, Jason’s outlook may be that when Cullum and Sidwell first brought Anna onto Spoon Island, that’s when Britt should have dropped a hint to somebody that Anna was there. You know, she could have helped out. Britt didn’t have to rescue Anna herself. But she could have told Jason because he was still in town when Anna was kidnapped. But Britt was selfishly protecting her own life and didn’t want to rock the boat, so she didn’t say anything. Britt was in a scary spot, so it’s understandable. But it’s not really very brave, you know, kind of cowardly.

And Jason’s point of view may be that Britt did wrong by not helping Anna. And since Britt didn’t help Anna then when she could have, Britt needs to make up for that now by showing compassion and not pressing charges. It may come down to Jason giving Britt basically an ultimatum.

Jason’s Ultimatum on GH

Jason may tell her, “If you pursue this and if you press charges, we’re going to be done.” And knowing Britt’s stubborn temperament, she might tell Jason, “Fine, go ahead. Abandon me like everybody else. It’s what I expect. It’s what I’m used to.” And that circles back to Lucas saying Britt makes it hard for people to care about her. I tend to think Jason ends up in an uncomfortable position and it’s going to come down to who needs him more.

He loves Britt. But in this moment she’s not being very lovable and Jason may get a glimpse of what the future looks like with her because Britt will always be very selfish. So, I think Jason’s going to try and salvage their relationship. But Britt may make it impossible. General Hospital is laying the groundwork for Jason to move on to a new love interest and for Britt to get closer to Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer).

General Hospital: Britt Headed for Romance with Tristan?

So, if you hadn’t heard, General Hospital chemistry tested Dean Geyer with Kelly Thiebaud when he was auditioning. And our leaker told us a while back that Jason and Britt would be splitting up once Jason was back from the WSB. Now, that’s manifesting.

The leaker also said Tristan was going to be Britt’s next love interest. And this week, we’ve got Britt pleading with Jason. And it looks like Britt wants Jason to make a witness statement to the PCPD. Britt says, “You have to help me stop Anna.”

But I absolutely don’t see Jason giving the cops any info that will help put Anna away. Jason doesn’t like to talk to the cops anyway, and without him as a witness, it likely goes nowhere because Britt has zero credibility with anybody.

But based on them having Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) in common, Britt may be able to talk Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) into going out with her to the kill site. But Jason cleaned it all up. He even picked the brass up from where Anna fired her gun. So there’s zero evidence out there. Bottom line, I absolutely do not see Jason and Britt’s relationship surviving this ordeal with Anna.

The Young and the Restless spoilers for the week starting September 14th and also have some good news and bad news about the new writers. We’re going to talk about Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) begging Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and the answer that he gives her when she’s pleading with him about something.

Plus, a secret fling gets even darker. And also in these latest Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of September 14th, we’re going to see more of Jack Abbott’s (Peter Bergman) trap that he sets for Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk). We’re also gonna talk about Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) and Stephanie Simmons  (Vivica A. Fox) because that’s getting steamy. And there’s a dirty trick that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) plays soon.

Young and the Restless: Adam Checks In On Nick

So, at the end of this week, Adam is up visiting Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) in rehab after hearing what went down with Marie Kirkland (Jade Harlow) and her no good, now dead husband, Logan Kirkland (Tommy Walker). So, Nick tells Adam that his goal is to check out of rehab soon. And Nick says by the end of next week he wants to be home. But Adam thinks that is a terrible idea because of course he’s worried Nick isn’t ready and will relapse if he gets out.

But he tells Adam that helping Marie really helped him. And then Adam gets to meet Marie who Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) already have met. And neither of them like Marie at all. Phyllis and Sharon think she is bad for Nick. So, Marie shows up and she overhears that Nick and Adam are talking about her and Adam tells Marie that he hopes that she wants Nick to move past all of this and Marie tells Adam obviously she wants the best for Nick and then asks Adam if she can speak to Nick alone.

Y&R Spoilers: Marie Drops a Bombshell on Nick

So, once Adam leaves, Marie tells Nick that she is grateful for everything that he has done for her. And Marie still can’t believe Nick was going to take the blame for Logan’s death when he doesn’t even really know Marie. And she also tells Nick that what she really came to say was goodbye.

Marie decides she’s moving back East to be near her parents. And she tells Nick that her family will make sure that she stays clean. So, Marie and Nick make a pact to both stay clean. And they shake on it. And then they kiss passionately before Marie runs out of there.

So later, Nick is telling the therapist that he feels sad and wishes he could be happy for Marie. But right now, Nick is even more convinced he needs to get back to life outside of rehab. But I doubt that Marie is gone for good, by the way. I think that she may just be gone for now, but will come back to see Nick very soon.

They didn’t hire Jade Harlow for a run this short. This leads to Adam telling the other Newmans about Nick’s plan to leave rehab. So, Adam tells Victor, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) that he’s worried and that Adam thinks it’s too soon.

But Nikki’s optimistic and Victor tells them all Nick is going to need a lot of support when he comes home. But honestly, Adam may be a little distracted by then because of what is coming for him. Because in next week’s The Young and the Restless spoilers, Adam is up at Crimson Lights and he’s talking to Sally and she asks Adam for a favor.

Young and Restless: Sally’s Panicking

Sally is kind of begging and saying it could be a matter of life or death and Adam says he’ll do anything for her. I have a feeling this might have something to do with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson). Maybe Sally wants Adam to promise her that he and Victor will not go after Billy, at least not until after the baby’s born. When Sally says life or death, maybe she’s referring to the life of her unborn baby. She may worry that chaos and stress could cause complications like with her and Adam’s baby.

I’m sure that Adam will agree, but Victor, he’s a whole other story, and I don’t think he will ever stop going after Billy. And in fact, in the Young and the Restless fall spoilers preview that just came out, it says Adam and Sally continue to find their lives intertwined and that Victor tries to use Nikki to target Jack. Also, next week on The Young and the Restless, after handling family business, it looks like Victoria Newman is back at the motel to meet Kyle Abbott. (Michael Mealor). And this is when things take a literal dark turn. He walks in and the room is dark and he reaches to turn on the light, but Victoria is standing across the room in the bathroom door.

She’s waiting for Kyle and Victoria says, “Don’t.” So, it looks like she wants to canoodle with Kyle in the dark even though they agreed not to hook up again. So, Victoria is back with Kyle and his and Victoria’s steamy affair continues next week. Young and the Restless fall spoilers also say Kyle and Victoria soon realize things between them are more than just casual and they are going to go to great lengths to keep their situationship secret.

Y&R Spoilers: Sparks Fly for Stephanie & Nate

And that will just make things more exciting for Kyle and Victoria because they’re going to keep sneaking around and having that forbidden fruit. You know, they’re not the only ones getting romantic and steamy, though. Next week’s Young and the Restless spoilers also have Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) and Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) getting much, much closer. So Stephanie is dancing around with Nate at his apartment and I guess he’s feeling recovered from his surgery because they are kissing and he tells Stephanie whatever this is, it feels real.

Spoilers also say Holden Novak’s (Nathan Owens) reaction may be a problem though. So, it looks like Stephanie and Nate are on the verge of a real romance and I’m here for it. But Vivica A. Fox is leaving The Young and the Restless for a couple of months to film her new movie, but she promised she was going to be back. So, looks like Stephanie and Nate find some sizzle before she leaves town.

And we’ll see if they write her an exit for, you know, professional reasons like some kind of conference or if they just slide Stephanie and Nate onto the back burner until Vivica’s back to The Young and the Restless to tape. Also, next week, we’re going to see what is next with Jack and Patty now that Jack has collapsed at Society. Now, of course, this collapse is a fake and he’s doing it to try and entrap Patty.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: The Abbotts Scheme against Patty

I’m guessing they think if Jack seems vulnerable that crazy Patty will come find him, thinking he’s weak. So, this is all part of Jack’s plan he’s cooked up with Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) and Billy and Kyle. They want to trap Patty and get her back behind bars.

So, this danger to Jack and others with Patty on the loose is also going to revive Abbott anger at Victor for bringing her back to Genoa City because that’s one hundred percent on him. And Diane’s just about had it because Jack’s at risk and Victor’s to blame.

But Nikki ran back to Victor and is now leaning on Jack to help her kick off Vibrante. And Diane is tired of all of this. And she’s right that Jack helping Nikki will open a door for Victor to weaponize Vibrante. Jack snapped at Diane about it.

but I bet before too long, Jack is going to have to acknowledge that Diane was right and he was wrong and entangling with Nikki for business reasons was a huge mistake. Be sure to check back tomorrow for our full weekly spoilers video for the week of September fourteenth.

But we also now have this good news and bad news about the new writers. Good news is we have an official air date for when Jayme Giddens and Dan O’Connor’s new co-headwriting material debuts.

The bad news is their story lines aren’t going to kick off until November eleventh. So there is two more months of subpar writing to watch. And by the way, The Young and the Restless Season 54 begins on October 8th.

It’s no secret that Apple TV has become the go-to streaming platform for all the best sci-fi shows. The streamer has found genre-defining hits with shows like Severance and Pluribus, but it also has hidden gems like Foundation and For All Mankind. HBO Max may be the streaming service that first comes to mind when someone asks about prestige dramas, but Apple TV officially has the streaming crown right now when it comes to sci-fi. Another exceptionally popular sci-fi series that’s blossomed under the watchful eye of Apple TV is Invasion, which hails from writers Simon Kinberg and David Weil. The show first premiered in 2021, and it aired new seasons in 2023 and 2025.

Apple TV has yet to publicly announce whether Invasion has been renewed or cancelled. However, right now most fans would agree that it’s leaning in the direction of not returning for Season 4, as it’s been over a year since Season 3 aired. At TIFF this weekend, Collider’s Steve Weintraub recently caught up with Invasion star Shamier Anderson, who plays Trevante Cole in the series, to talk about his new project Call Me Tim. During their conversation, Weintraub asked about the chances of Invasion extending beyond Season 3. “Oh man, three seasons for me was more than enough,” said Anderson. “The scale of that show is so, so gargantuan. We film all over the world. We film for maybe six to eight months, and it’s a lot of work. And so, even with the fact that we could have a second and then a third season, it was such a gift to be able to be Trevante, but ultimately, it’s very taxing — in a beautiful way.”

He continued, highlighting the challenges of flying around the world for months at a time to film the show, “A lot of traveling. There are moments and episodes… If I’m doing Episode 2, I’m shooting Episode 2 in Morocco. Then I got to go on a plane, shoot Episode 5 in London, England. And so, there’s a lot of traveling, and it’s taxing on the body and on the family.”

Is Shamier Anderson Ruling Out ‘Invasion’ Season 4?

Circling back and answering the original question, Anderson wouldn’t officially rule out a return for a potential Invasion Season 4, despite how much it wears on him filming such an intense schedule. He told Collider, “That said, to answer your core question, I never thought it would keep going because of how expensive it is. It’s just an expensive show to make. But I hope they keep making it over and over again because I love the show.”

Weintraub then shared his love for how much Apple TV has accomplished in the last few years in the sci-fi genre, and Anderson doubled down on the sentiment, “Agreed. Shout out Apple!” Weintraub also said that, when watching any Apple TV sci-fi show, it’s almost like you can see the money come through on screen — it’s usually quite clear that Apple TV invests heavily in its sci-fi shows. Anderson closed out by saying, “Oh, it’s Apple. They’ve got money.” This seemingly confirms that, if Invasion doesn’t return for another season, it won’t be for financial reasons.

Check out the first three seasons of Invasion on Apple TV and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of a potential fourth season.

Days of Our Lives delivers hunky actor Franco LoPresti makes his debut as Dante Vitali on Monday, September 14th. So, just a few days to wait But he may already be plotting against EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). Is this a case of secret sibling rivalry? Because we suspect Dante might be a secret son of Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) with a vendetta.

Days of our Lives: Sami Shocks Everyone

All right, so late last November, Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) announced to Salem and her ex-husbands that she had a new rich Italian fianceé and said his name was Dante Vitali. And of course, jaws dropped when Sami said that last name.

But she reassured everybody that although Dante’s a Vitali and is Ava Vitali‘s (Tamara Braun) cousin, Dante himself has no mafia ties. Or, you know, maybe none that Sami knows about because she’s been tricked by all of her past husbands. I think we just heard from Dante’s soon-to-be stepdaughter, Sydney DiMera (Sydney Malakeh), that Dante’s hosting the high-stakes poker game in Monte Carlo.

So, we should be seeing him in scenes next week with Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) and Sydney. But the question is whether Dante is really who he says he is. Is it suspicious that he’s the one hosting the poker game that Philip entered trying to save the Kiriakis mansion and to keep Titan Industries afloat and out of EJ’s filthy hands. So, we may also find out Dante is the Italian billionaire who made the offer to Xander Cook Kiriaki (Paul Telfer) to buy the Kiriakis mansion.

EJ after the Kiriakis Mansion on DOOL

We know EJ really wants that house and he was grilling Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney) on her finding out who bought it. She gave EJ a name. But I doubt that’s the truth because Rita is clearly in contact with Dante or whoever the mystery man is because she sent that Phoenix ring to them. And Xander has agreed to wait till Philip gets back from his trip to close the deal on the mansion. So, Philip’s really hoping to be the family’s knight in shining armor.

But as the host, we could see Dante somehow rigging the game in Sydney’s favor to make sure Philip can’t save the Kiriakis mansion or Titan because Dante might want them. This may be a significant defeat for Gabi and Philip. And this may be all about Dante getting things that EJ wants. I suspect Dante already has a beef with EJ. And since the mystery man has Stefano DiMera‘s (Joseph Mascolo) picture on his desk, if that is Dante, him being another DiMera offspring makes a lot of sense because think about it, Stefano had so many baby mamas.

Days of our Lives: Stefano’s Many Ladies

There was the unknown woman that he had Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) with. He had Renée DuMonde with Lee DuMonde.  And then another unknown woman gave birth to Stefano’s daughter, Megan Hathaway. And of course, Lexie Carver’s (Nikki Crawford) mom is the late Stefano’s personal psychic, Celeste Perrault (Be Stefano had a son, Benjy Hawk (Jim Lunsford) by Ellen Hawk. We all know he tricked Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) into conceiving Elvis Jr. Stefano dressed up like an Elvis impersonator for the sole purpose of getting her pregnant.

In addition to liking psychics, Stefano also had a thing for prostitutes. He sired Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) with Meline Peterson Woods. And of course, Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) hid her twin sons Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) and Jake Lambert DiMera (also Brandon Barash) from Stefano for most of their lives, but those were retcon kids. As you know, he adopted Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) and Peter Blake (Dan Gauthier) as well.

And he adopted and raised Tony DiMera (Thaao Phenglis) as his own after his wife Daphne had an affair with the gardener. So Stefano really got around and he prided himself on having a lot of offspring. So it would be no surprise if he had another secret baby with a Vitali lady as the mom or Stefano impregnated somebody else and the Vitalis adopted the child fathered by Stefano.

Days of our Lives: Stefano’s Secret Heir

This is clearly some sort of retcon kid that they’ve invented. So Days of Our Lives can do absolutely anything with Dante’s character. The man in the Phoenix ring is behind the chess set clues in addition to having a photo of Stefano on his desk. So, there’s a slim chance the ring guy and Dante Vitali aren’t one and the same.

But, I think it’s a long shot based on the timing of upcoming events because he debuts on Monday and all this stuff with the ring is happening simultaneously. So Dante might be playing games with Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) to keep them distracted while Dante focuses on taking everything from EJ.

Clearly Rita’s loyalties have shifted, which is another sign the man in the ring is a secret DiMera because Rita is ride or die for Stefano and his family. The most disturbing speculation is that somehow Stefano had a child with Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) because the chess set scavenger hunt was meant for John Black (Drake Hogestyn) and Marlena and it might have been intended to lead her to a son she had with Stefano that she had blocked from her memories.

Days of our Lives: Belle May Discover the Truth

So leading Belle to find the man who could be her half brother is almost as good because Marlena would still find out. It would be insane all this time later to give Stefano and Marlena a son. But I put nothing past the Days of Our Lives writers. As you know, nothing is off limits in that writer’s room. And I hope if Dante is that child that Marlena was maybe just a surrogate when she was captive on the island rather than a biological parent to a child of Stefano.

All that aside, if Dante is our mystery man who’s pulling the strings, he’s sure taking a whole lot from EJ because Dante is engaged to Sami, who is EJ’s ex-wife, and he wouldn’t mind having Sami back in his life. EJ and Sami shared two kids, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Sydney, and Dante’s really close to Sydney now. And in fact, Dante might have specifically gone and romanced Sami knowing it would hurt EJ.

Days of our Lives: Dante Targeting EJ

Plus, Dante could be buying the Kiriakis mansion, not only to have a nice big home in Salem. But to stick it to EJ so he can’t get the Kiriakis estate for himself. And the one thing that’s even worse than this for EJ is that Dante could have Rita’s full loyalty as well. And maybe Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton)’s loyalty also.

Rita already lied to EJ and shipped that Phoenix ring off to the man who’s watching EJ, Chad, and Belle on surveillance cameras. I personally cannot wait to hear more about Dante when he shows up on the scene on Monday’s episode. He could very well be one more of Stefano’s many children and ready to make a splash in Salem even before he and Sami say I do.

Days of our Lives: Timing is Off

And also the very timing of Dante showing up now is a huge red flag because Alison Sweeney is not going to be back on Days of Our Lives until summer two thousand twenty-seven. So, not quite a year from now, a little less than that. And that begs the question, why are we getting Sami’s fiancé Dante this far in advance, months and months before she shows up?

We know Sami, Carrie, Lucas, and Will are all coming for a big arc. And according to spoilers, the plot will include a lot of family history. So, we’ll see exactly whose family history it is, because it may tie back to the DiMeras. And I suspect that Sami and her son and her siblings and her ex-husband may all be back for her wedding to Dante or something surrounding her fiancée.

But the real question is how much does Sami actually know about this guy she’s marrying? Because from where we are sitting, if Dante is the man in the ring who’s leaving the clues who’s bought the Kiriakis mansion, it certainly looks like he’s out to destroy EJ, which is a very DiMera thing to do.

Ransom Canyon‘s run on Netflix has officially come to an end with a shocking cancellation.

News broke on Thursday, September 10, that Netflix chose not to pick up Ransom Canyon for season 3. Deadline reported that the show found itself on the bubble last year but was ultimately renewed for season 2, more than two months after the premiere.

Season 2 was released in July and had a reduced episode order and a cast shakeup. According to the outlet, the second season was creatively better received internally at the streamer. However, Ransom Canyon returned with 4.1 million views for its first week of release, which was down 43 percent from its 2025 premiere week, which brought in 7.2 million views.

The show’s first season remained on Netflix’s weekly Top 10 for four weeks while the second installment was up there for only three weeks.

Based on Jodi Thomas‘ book series about a town that is full of drama, romance and hope, Ransom Canyon, which premiered in April 2025, introduced Us to the locals in Texas Hill Country. Josh Duhamel‘s character, Staten, was grieving two major losses in season 1 while navigating his undeniable connection to childhood friend Quinn (Minka Kelly), who also caught the eye of Staten’s brother-in-law and love triangle rival Davis (Eoin Macken).

There was also Yancy (Jack Schumacher), who had a past he was hiding from Ellie (Marianly Tejada). Viewers found themselves further invested in a love triangle between high school students Lucas (Garrett Wareing), Lauren (Lizzy Greene) and Reid (Andrew Liner).

During the second season, Davis (Macken), his son Reid (Liner) and Davis’ ex-wife Paula Jo (Meta Golding) were all no longer in the show. Their absence was mentioned after they played large roles in the first season of the Netflix series.

Showrunner April Blair later teased her vision for season 3 — including more potential cast shakeups.

“[There will] definitely [be] new faces,” Blair exclusively told Us in July. “I definitely want to learn more about Lucas and Kit’s parents. I feel like we’ve never really talked about that.”

Blair wanted to expand Lucas’ (Wareing) story, adding, “I really want to bring someone new to the canvas so that Lucas can have his own new experience and new love and just someone fun to shake things up.”

Outside of the Russell family, Blair hoped for more musical acts.

“Maybe we bring another version of a musical element to our story. Season 1, we had Charley Crockett performing in Gracie’s. And in season 2, we do this big blowout with the festival and Jordan Davis and Thomas Rhett,” she noted. “And what is a different version of bringing music to our show? Because I think it’s really integral.”

She continued: “Is it bringing someone who is a musician and is a character in the show? Quinn is building this musical mecca basically. She’s got Gracie’s and now she’s going to open the old theater. What does that bring to town and the new elements there?”

Blair hinted that the “possibilities are endless” for season 3.

Ransom Canyon is currently streaming on Netflix.
