‘Dexter: Original Sin’ First Look Photo Shows Patrick Gibson’s Serial Killer In Training Seemingly Mid-Kill

Photos from the upcoming Dexter prequel were released Thursday, introducing audiences to the Morgan family — including Christian Slater as Harry Morgan, Patrick Gibson as Dexter Morgan and Molly Brown as Debra Morgan

One of the photos, is particularly ominous as it appears to catch Gibson’s Dexter mid-kill. The others are seemingly innocuous, including a photo of Dexter and Harry in the kitchen, as well as another of Dexter deep in thought (shown above).

Dexter: Original Sin takes place 15 years before the events of the flagship series. Set in 1991 Miami, the 10-episode series follows Dexter (Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry (Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcements’ radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.

Additional cast includes Patrick Dempsey as Aaron Spencer, James Martinez as Angel Batista, Christina Milian as Maria LaGuerta, Alex Shimizu as Vince Masuka, Reno Wilson as Bobby Watt and special guest star, Sarah Michelle Gellar, as Tanya Martin.

Susan Lucci Gives Health Update, Shares If She's Open to Dating After Losing Husband of 52 Years

Susan Lucci is opening up about how her heart is recovering after an emergency procedure and the death of her husband, Helmet Huber.

Sitting down with ET's Rachel Smith for "The grEaTs," the 77-year-old actress provided fans with an update on how she is doing as she embraces this next chapter of her life -- and whether or not she is open to finding love again after losing her 84-year-old husband in 2022.

For the All My Children star -- who was married to Huber from 1969 until his death -- it would be extremely difficult to put herself back out there after already finding the love of her life at just 23 years old.

"I know everybody's different, I can't imagine it, you know?" Lucci -- who previously shared that the casting producers of The Golden Bachelorette reached out to her about starring in the reality show -- said of dating again. "Never say never, but I just can't imagine [it]."

In the two years since her Austrian-born chef husband passed away, Lucci has devoted a good chunk of time to reading about coping with the loss of a spouse and the various ways to move on after. While she knows that finding love after loss is entirely possible, it's not the path forward for her -- at least not at this time.

"It is different for everyone and, you know, part of it is a choice to get up off the floor and put one foot in front of the other. I mean, it is better to go ahead with your life," she shared with ET. "The other thing is that I know that this life is a gift, it's meant to be a gift from God and I'm never gonna thumb my nose at that -- I'm grateful. And I'm very grateful to have the love and have [had] Helmut in my life."

Throughout the course of their half-century-long love story, the pair established a tremendous life together and welcomed two children, Liza Huber and Andreas Huber. Lucci told ET that the secret to their enduring relationship and marital success is not a secret at all. Lucci said that for her, it all came down to being with the person who complemented her.

"He always made me laugh and he was always there for me -- he was a rock and very secure," Lucci said of her "wonderful" husband. "[He was] very funny, very sure of himself in a good way and very take charge, which you wanted him to be."

She continued, "He was one of those people you wanted him to be in charge because he knew what to do and knew how to make things happen. And at the same time, [he was] coming from such a good place."

For now, Lucci is happy to hold onto her beloved memories of Huber. That includes saying no to The Golden Bachelorette -- although she does admit that just because she won't be on it anytime soon does not mean that she won't be seated for the season premiere on Sept. 1.

"I tried it, I became instantly hooked," Lucci said of the ABC reality series. Instead, the show will be led by former Golden Bachelor contestant Joan Vassos for its debut season. "I think I'm just a fan... it wasn't for me but it's something that I do love to watch."

Aside from The Golden Bachelorette, Lucci is using this new era of life to discover what is important to her -- a category that includes focusing on her happiness and her health, especially after undergoing two major heart surgeries in the span of four years.

In 2022, just weeks before Huber's death, the actress and philanthropist revealed that she underwent a second procedure for heart disease after a first heart scare in 2018. At the time, she reported experiencing symptoms like shortness of breath and discomfort in her ribcage and back.

For the second procedure, she rushed to the hospital only to discover she had a 75 percent blockage in one of her arteries as a result of a buildup of plaque. Doctors ultimately used a stent on her heart to open the blockage and try to prevent future issues.

That came after she already had another major open-heart surgery in 2018. In 2019, the All My Children star revealed to ET that the blockage the first time around was even more severe and life-threatening.

"It turns out, I had a 90 percent blockage in my main artery and a 75 percent blockage in an adjacent artery, and so they told me the next day, 'You just avoided a widow-maker,'" she told ET at the time, crediting her doctor for telling her to go to the hospital. "I didn't know! I had no idea."

According to the CDC, heart disease is the number one cause of death for women in the United States. In 2021, approximately one-in-five female deaths in the U.S. were attributed to the so-called "silent killer."

Today, Lucci is feeling great and healthier than ever. She is focusing on spreading awareness on the deadly issue and advocating for women everywhere (including herself) when it comes to their health.

"I'm in very good shape and I feel very good," Lucci said. "I had a blockage, a 90 percent blockage in my main artery and a 75 percent blockage in the adjacent artery. And fortunately, I listened to my body and there was someone there [her doctor] who could prod me to go to the hospital."

"Had I not gone there, I was told the next day when I was checked out that I 99.9 percent would've had the widow-maker. If I had laid down, I never would have gotten up," she shared of the health scare. "I was doing what many women do, I kept thinking, 'Oh it'll go away, it's nothing, it'll go away.'"

Moral of the story? It's always better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to your health.

"My takeaway was -- is to tell women to put yourself on your to-do list, to listen to your body and if it doesn't behave the way that's normal for you, take action," she said. "The doctor will not be mad at you for coming if there's nothing there."

Thanks to the doctor who she says "saved her life," Lucci now has the opportunity to continue with her busy and exciting life. That includes a role in Apple TV+'s new dark comedy, Outcome, which is directed and co-produced by Jonah Hill. The script also comes from the mind of the 21 Jump Street star, who penned it alongside Ezra Woods.

"It was a spectacular experience, I'm so glad that I did this and got to work with Jonah," she said of the project. "Jonah Hill has written a very powerful [script] – it’s a dark comedy, a very dark comedy – but he's really a gem and I'm very lucky to have worked with him."

A release date for the film -- which also stars Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz, Matt Bomer, David Spade, Laverne Cox, Kaia Gerber and Roy Wood Jr. and more -- has yet to be determined. e..

Susan Lucci Says She's Learned in Her 70s Not to Let Age 'Define You': 'Don't Count Yourself Out'

The actress, 77, spoke with PEOPLE ahead of receiving the Spirit of Life Award on June 4 in New York City, reflecting on her career.

Although Lucci lost her husband Helmut Huber, who died in March 2022 at age 84, and the actress has had two heart surgeries in 2018 and 2022, she's in a good place now, having finished filming the crime drama Outcome, co-written and directed by Jonah Hill. The cast includes Hill, Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz, Matt Bomer and Laverne Cox.

“I am feeling good,” she explains. "I realized there were fewer parts for someone in her seventies as I am. But on the other hand, I'm thrilled right now to have been playing a part that I absolutely viewed as a challenge, and what I wanted to take and get to work with Jonah Hill, who I have so much respect for.”

Over the last 12 months, Lucci has also been receiving the recognition she so richly deserves for her decades-long contributions to television, which includes starring as Erica Kane on the ABC daytime drama All My Children for nearly 40 years — a role that helped make her one of the famous faces on TV.

During her acceptance speech, Lucci thanked everyone in the room. "How lucky am I to dream my dreams of becoming an actress and grow up and have my dreams come true? There were obstacles and there were roadblocks — they were wannabe obstacles and roadblocks — but tonight's a night to celebrate."

During her conversation with PEOPLE, Lucci also advised people in their golden years not to "count yourself out."

"No matter what her career is … don't count yourself out. Don't assume the worst," she added. "Keep on being you."

For Lucci, her mother, Jeanette Lucci, who died in June 2021, was a source of wisdom.

"I remember when I turned 60. I called my mother,” the star recalled. “I was having a lot of trouble with that particular number, and I called my mother and I said, ‘Mom, how did you deal with it? And how are you dealing with now?’ … And there was a little pause on the other end and she said, ‘Well, I just don't think about it.’ And I thought, you know what? That is the best answer anyone could give me. … Don't put any labels on yourself. Don't let the number define you." .

Hulu Orders Comedy Pilot From Max Mutchnick, David Kohan & Ryan Murphy Starring Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer And Linda Lavin

Nathan Lane and Matt Bomer are set to star and executive produce the series that will also star Linda Lavin. Mutchnick and Kohan will write the pilot while James Burrows will direct. Executive producers include Mutchnick, Kohan, Burrows, Lane, Bomer and Murphy. 20th Television is the studio.

The series follows three best friends — gay gentlemen of a certain age – who, after an unexpected death, decide to spend their golden years living together in Palm Springs where the wealthiest one lives with his mother and a naked Gen Z housekeeper. As a chosen family, they prove that no matter how hard things get, there’s always someone around to remind you it would be better if you got your neck done.

Lane will play Bunny Schneiderman while Bomer will be Jerry Frank. Lavin will take over as Bunny’s mother, Sybil Schneiderman. A successful businessman with one foot in retirement, Bunny is forever in search of love, but he first has to be convinced he’s worthy of it. Like her son, Sybil’s strengths are her weaknesses: wise, caring, and iconoclastic – which sometimes means she’s critical, smothering and amoral. Jerry left the Mormon Church and his marriage in his early 20s after his wife informed him and the rest of the congregation that he was a homosexual. Now a latter-day saint in the literal sense of the term, Jerry is pure of heart. He is also hard of body and soft of head.

Lane is repped by CAA and Anonymous Content.

Bomer is repped by CAA, Anonymous Content, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Gellman, Meigs & Fox.

Lavin is repped by Innovative and Sendoff & Baruch.

Burrows is represented by WME, Bob Broder, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox.e

The woman explained to Ripa and Consuelos, that she had been chosen over her twin brother to play Enzo, because “at the time, he didn’t have enough hair.” She also shared that she is about three days younger than Ripa and Consuelos’ real-life daughter Lola, recalling that her mother would hold Lola off-camera while Ripa was holding her.

Ripa asked the young woman if she was still acting, but she said, “No, this is my big break now, I guess!”

G-Flip teases second wedding ceremony, baby plans with ‘most beautiful princess’ Chrishell Stause

The “Drummer” artist, 30, — who uses they/them pronouns — made their Governor’s Ball debut on Sunday where they caught up with Page Six and exclusively teased their plans for a second wedding with the “Selling Sunset” star, whom they first wed in May 2023, and potential baby plans for the future.

After celebrating one full year together, G-Flip called their first year of marriage “amazing.”

“Chrishell is the greatest, most beautiful princess human being that has ever graced the planet,” they gushed. “She’s just so fun and easygoing and makes my life so much better having her in my life. It’s been absolutely fun.”

In June 2023, the couple revealed they planned to celebrate their love by hosting a wedding every year. In keeping with those plans, G-Flip teased they’re already planning their “cheeky” second ceremony in Australia this summer.

“My family’s in Australia, she’s got family in Saint Louis — everyone’s all over the place. Our friends are on tour and all over the place. So we like doing a little ceremony every year,” they continued. “That way we eventually can have everyone attend a wedding.

“I’m so excited for my Aussie family to be there,” they said.

The musician also tells Page Six they would “definitely” love to start expanding their family.

“Obviously being queer, there are a few more challenges,” the “Get Me Outta Here” hitmaker said, adding that they’re currently “working through” some of those issues.

“But it’s definitely on the cards. We would love to be parents and we’d be good parents,” they continued.

G-Flip and Stause have been vocal in the past about creating a family together.

The reality star realtor told her followers last year that she and G-Flip were looking to have children together last August as she shut down any fans’ hopes of her rekindling her romance with her boss, Jason Oppenheim.

“I met my forever partner with G and we are planning a family,” she wrote at the time. “Everything happened the way it was supposed to.”

Susan Lucci says her family are her 'biggest rock' as she opens up about their support during challenging times

The All My Children alum is an inspiration to many as a result, not to mention the fact she's worked tirelessly to help others, resulting in her recently receiving the Spirit of Life Award at the annual City of Hope gala, held in New York City at the beginning of June.

During the event, Susan opened up to HELLO! about the lessons she's learnt from the past few years, which have seen her undergo multiple heart surgeries, as well as losing her beloved husband, Helmut Huber, in 2022.

She said: "Ultimately, I have learned that resilience isn’t about bouncing back; it’s about bouncing forward with newfound wisdom and resilience. My biggest rocks have undeniably been the unwavering support of my friends and family.

"Their unconditional love has been an anchor that has kept me grounded and a constant reminder that I am never alone."

Susan is mom to children Liza Huber, 49, and Andreas Huber, 36, who she shares with her late husband. She is also a doting grandmother, and loves nothing more than spending time with her loved ones.

She's looking forward to the summer too, and told HELLO!: "summer always goes by so quickly, but I always look forward to spending as much time with friends and family at the beach!"

Susan gave a powerful speech at the City of Hope gala, receiving a special accolade presented to individuals who exemplify the ideals and values that have guided City of Hope for a century. Past participants have included Jane Fonda, Dr. Jill Biden, Brooke Shields, Cindy Crawford, Hoda Kotb and Robin Roberts.

City of Hope was founded in 1913, with the mission to make hope a reality for all touched by cancer and diabetes.

Susan told HELLO! before the event: "I have to acknowledge how prestigious it really is to receive this award from The City of Hope. I know the list of former recipients and I'm very honored to be in their presence.

"And also, my goodness, it's very humbling. You just go along in your life and try to do the best you can, but to be acknowledged by the City of Hope for contributions to women's health is just more than I could have ever expected or hoped for. And so I'm very, very honored indeed to accept this award."

Susan has done a lot of work for charity, and during her acceptance speech, she joked that she was excited to wear a pink dress at the event, as she usually wears red dresses.k

The movie follows married couple Dana (Chabert) and Mark (Elliott), a pair of high-powered lawyers at two separate New York City law firms who find themselves on opposing sides of a messy divorce between two reality stars. When both clients are unable to compromise, everyone heads to the that results in tensions infiltrating Dana and Mark’s otherwise happy household.

The movie marks Chabert’s third project for Hallmark this year, after Celebrations with Lacey Chabert and The Christmas Quest, Chabert’s 15th holiday movie set to premiere during Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas.

“We are so excited to reunite Hallmark’s perennial fan-favorite Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott in this all-new movie. Three years having passed since they’ve appeared together on screen, this witty and playful romcom will showcase their undeniable chemistry – a treat for our Hallmark viewers,” said Ayse Francis, Director of Programming, Hallmark Media.

“A chance to reunite with my dear friend, Brennan Elliot and bringing these stories to the audience together is always such a joyful experience. I hope the fans enjoy these new characters!,” Chabert added.

Continued Elliott, “I have been so blessed and lucky to have been able to star in 10 films with Lacey Chabert! She is a great friend, and collaborating with her on screen has been one of the most treasured and impactful joys of my career.”

Susan Lucci wows in statement pink gown as she receives special honor at NYC luncheon

The 77-year-old actress' dress cinched in at the waist and featured an embroidered bodice and pleated mini skirt.

The award-winning star teamed her dress with a pair of matching pink heels, and wore her brunette hair in a bouncy blowdry.

The All My Children actress was honored the prestigious The Spirit of Life Award at the annual City of Hope Gala.

This is an accolade presented to individuals who exemplify the ideals and values that have guided City of Hope for a century.

Past participants have included Jane Fonda, Dr. Jill Biden, Brooke Shields, Cindy Crawford, Hoda Kotb and Robin Roberts.

City of Hope was founded in 1913, with the mission to make hope a reality for all touched by cancer and diabetes.

Susan told HELLO! before the event: "I have to acknowledge how prestigious it really is to receive this award from The City of Hope. I know the list of former recipients and I'm very honored to be in their presence. And also, my goodness, it's very humbling. You just go along in your life and try to do the best you can, but to be acknowledged by the City of Hope for contributions to women's health is just more than I could have ever expected or hoped for. And so I'm very, very honored indeed to accept this award."

Susan has done a lot of work for charity, and during her acceptance speech, she joked that she was excited to wear a pink dress at the event, as she usually wears red dresses. This is because she is a huge advocate for heart health and raising awareness of heart conditions, following her own health battles in recent years.

In 2022, the actress began feeling shortness of breath and experienced chest and jaw pain, but despite her previous history, she was reluctant to call a doctor.

Talking to People, she said: "I couldn't believe it. And after telling women for three years to not be afraid to call the doctor and to put themselves on their to-do list, I reverted back to all those things."

It was there that the medical team discovered that Susan had a 80 per cent artery blockage caused by her cholesterol, and inserted another stent in her heart to open the blockage after she was rushed to the cardiac catheterization lab.

Luckily, Susan is now feeling "really well" following last year's procedure. At the beginning of March, she told People: "I'm doing really well. I always keep an eye on myself, what's going on." She added that her recovery is "so far, so good."

‘White Collar’ Reboot Is A Go, Says Creator Jeff Eastin

Series creator Jeff Eastin confirmed Thursday in Los Angeles that an updated version of the police procedural is finally in development.

“We’re gonna reboot. I’m writing the script,” Eastin said, as quoted by Variety. He appeared at the trade’s TV festival with stars Matt Bomer, Tim DeKay and Tiffany Thiessen — all of whom are expected to return.

“It’s a fantastic script and it answers all the questions that one would have if you watch the show,” added DeKay, who continued, “and it would introduce the show to those who haven’t seen it as well. Both edges of the sword are honed.”

The reboot also is expected to honor the late Willie Garson, who played Mozzie in the original series. Garson died in 2021.

“With such sensitivity and such heart,” said Thiessen about the built-in tribute. “I told Jeff after I finished it, I literally was so excited, but at the same time had tears in my eyes — for good reason. You captured the suspense, the thrill, the characters and the love in that reboot.”

No word yet, however, on where the new version will end up, though it has long been rumored that Hulu would become the home since the series is owned by 20th TV. White Collar was produced for the NBCU-owned USA from 2009-2014 by Fox TV Studios, which is now a Disney entity.

Bomer and Eastin began talking about a White Collar revival in 2020 during a charity cast reunion on the Stars In the House YouTube channel. “There is nothing I would want than to be on a set with this group of people again,” said Bomer, who organized the reunion. “There are real conversations happening. There seems to be a lot of excitement about it.”

In a 2023 interview, Bomer addressed the challenges of moving ahead without Garson.

“Obviously, that’s the first thing that came to my mind, but I felt that what Jeff Eastin presented to Tim and I honors what he contributed to the show and honors him as a person,” the actor said. “There’s no way I would ever be involved with it again if it didn’t do so. So I think it’s a way for him to, in some ways, still be a part of the show.”æ×»^—‰.B”éš.ÿ0Ôõ¸ß.Öe¾)û0ØŸ›ë23A]&ž.=ê2í.ö+›ê2A}%ð/a]f

Chrishell Stause Joins Neighbours

The Selling Sunset star will return to her soap-opera roots when she joins the Australian drama Neighbours as a guest star, TVLine has learned.

Stause, who had long runs on All My Children and Days of Our Lives, will play Yasmine “Yas” Shields, who is described as “a glamorous and successful businesswoman in pursuit of an exciting new opportunity.”

The show airs daily Monday through Thursday on Amazon Freevee in the United States and the United Kingdom. Stause is slated to begin filming in Australia in July.

“I am honored and excited to join such a beloved and iconic show!” Stause said via statement. “Coming from the world of soaps in the U.S., it’s back to my first love in the entertainment industry. They pitched me an idea for a character, and I was immediately excited to figure out a way to make it happen. Ramsay Street here I come!”

Added Neighbours executive producer Jason Herbison via statement: “We are thrilled to welcome Chrishell to the cast of Neighbours. We created a character especially for her and we can’t wait for her to bring the storyline alive. Expect intrigue and surprises — and many implications for the residents of Ramsay Street.”

Neighbours follows the residents of Ramsay Street in Erinsborough, Australia, a fictional suburb of Melbourne. It recently nabbed two 2024 Daytime Emmy nominations: Outstanding Daytime Drama Series and Outstanding Guest Performance in a Daytime Drama Series for Guy Pearce’s stint. The nods are the show’s first in the United States. h

‘The Golden Bachelorette’ Contacted Susan Lucci’s Camp About Possibly Appearing, She Claims

In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE, the All My Children alum, 77, shares that she's a recent Bachelor fan. And while ABC has found their Golden Bachelorette in season 1 contestant Joan Vassos, Lucci reveals that she had a hat in the ring before the decision was made final.

"I believe that they contacted my publicist and it wasn't for me," Lucci explains. "I watched The Golden Bachelor. I really enjoyed watching The Golden Bachelor. This is a new addiction for me."

Though she spent years watching her mother love the franchise, the soap star wasn't interested until a "couple seasons ago" after her assistant inspired her to give The Bachelor a chance.

"My assistant told me she was going home to watch The Bachelor with her daughters," she recalled. "She said, 'Well, it's really good.' I watched it. The first time I watched it was that night a couple seasons ago. I was immediately engaged. I cared. I wanted to know more about these people."

Though the actress called the show "my new guilty pleasure," Lucci said, "I didn't pursue [it] when they called my publicist to see if I would be interested."

"It wasn't for me, but I do love watching," she added. "I'm a fan. I love watching."

ABC and Warner Bros. does not comment on casting news. However, a source tells PEOPLE she was not offered the role.

On May 14, ABC announced at the 2024 Disney Upfronts at the Javits Center in New York City that Vassos, 61, will take the lead as the first Golden Bachelorette this fall.

During an appearance on the Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour podcast, Vassos shared the relatable reason she accepted the offer to be the Golden Bachelorette.

“I really want love,” she explained. “I want to have somebody in my life. I feel like life is better when you share it with somebody. I truly believe all of that."

"As far as my heart being completely open, I think it's nine-tenths of the way there," she continued. "So, I think I just need to spend a little more time in like an environment like The Bachelor environment. I so am not… like I really want to find love. I just don't want to go to the work of going on a dating website.”

‘The Girls On The Bus’ Canceled By Max After One Season

“While Max will not be moving forward with a second season of The Girls on the Bus, we are grateful to have partnered with immensely talented Amy Chozick, Julie Plec, Rina Mimoun, as well as the teams at Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television,” the streamer said in a statement. “We are so proud of this powerful story of found family and the celebration of journalism, in all its forms. We thank them and our unrivaled cast for all their incredible work and collaboration.”

The cancellation news is not entirely surprising. The adaptation of Chozick’s best-selling book Chasing Hillary had a relatively quiet run and didn’t break into Nielsen’s Top 10 weekly streaming rankings through it appeared multiple times on Max’s in-app Top 10 list.

Created by Plec and Chozick, The Girls On The Bus‘ first season centers on Sadie McCarthy (Benoist), a journalist who romanticizes a bygone era of campaign reporting and scraps her whole life for a shot at covering a presidential candidate for a paper of record. Sadie joins the bus and eventually bonds with three female competitors, Grace (Carla Gugino), Lola (Natasha Behnam), and Kimberlyn (Christina Elmore).

Despite the title, future installments were not expected to be confined to a campaign bus. Season 1, which ended with a cliffhanger, followed the primaries. Season 2 would’ve moved to the general election with the reporters getting off the bus and onto a plane, showrunner Rina Mimoun confirmed to TVLine.

The cast of the series also included Brandon Scott, Griffin Dunne, Mark Consuelos, and Scott Foley.

Chozick, Plec and Rina Mimoun executive produced with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, and Marcos Siega; Jesse Peretz executive produced and directed the pilot of the series, Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

The Girls On the Bus landed at Max after originally getting a series order at Netflix and then moving to the CW for development.

‘Dexter: Original Sin’ Casts Patrick Gibson As Young Serial Killer; Christian Slater & Molly Brown Round Out Morgans

Dexter: Original Sin (previously known as Dexter: Origins) has cast the Morgan family: Patrick Gibson (Shadow and Bone) will play a young Dexter Morgan; Golden Globe-winner Christian Slater (Mr. Robot) will play his dad Harry Morgan; and Molly Brown (Senior Year) will play Dexter’s younger sister, Debra Morgan. The series will be available from Paramount+ with Showtime.

In the original series Dexter, which ran for 8 seasons on Showtime, Michael C. Hall portrayed the titular blood spatter analyst by day, killer by night. His adoptive father Harry was played by James Remar and his sister Deb was played by Jennifer Carpenter.

Dexter vet Clyde Phillips will return as showrunner and executive producer of the the 10-episode prequel series which takes place 15 years before the events of Dexter.

Dexter: Original Sin follows Dexter (Gibson) in 1991 Miami, as a student transitioning into a serial killer in training. When his bloodthirsty urges can no longer be ignored, Dexter finds solace and understanding in Harry. As his only confidant, he teaches Dexter a Code that’s designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to die—all while avoiding getting caught by law enforcement. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.

Dexter: Original Sin is executive produced by Clyde Phillips and produced by Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios. Scott Reynolds also EPs alongside ,Michael C. Hall, Mary Leah Sutton, Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, with Robert Lloyd Lewis producing. Michael Lehmann will serve as directing executive producer on the project that reunites him with Slater, whom he directed in the 1989 film Heathers.

For Showtime Studios, the series is being creatively overseen by Gary Levine and Urooj Sharif, with production supervised by Tara Power. The project is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution outside of Paramount+ markets.

Lacey Chabert To Topline Netflix Holiday Rom-Com ‘Hot Frosty’; Dustin Milligan, Joe Lo Truglio & Craig Robinson Among Others Set

Others set to star include Dustin Milligan (Schitt’s Creek), Craig Robinson (Killing It), Joe Lo Truglio (Brooklyn 99), Katy Mixon (Mike & Molly), Lauren Holly (Dumb and Dumber) and Chrishell Stause (Selling Sunset).

Written by Russell Hainline (The Santa Summit), the film picks up with Cathy two years after losing her husband, as she magically brings a handsome snowman to life. Through his naïveté, the snowman helps Cathy to laugh, feel and love again, as the two fall for each other just in time for the holidays…and before he melts.

Joel S. Rice (Single All the Way, A Tourist’s Guide to Love) and Michael Barbuto (Never Too Late to Celebrate, Catch Me if You Claus) are producing for Muse Entertainment. Aren Prupas and Jonas Prupas are exec producers on the project, which is part of a 2024 holiday slate at the streamer also including the Lindsay Lohan starrer Our Little Secret and Meet Me Next Christmas starring Christina Milian.

Best known for her role as Gretchen Wieners in Mean Girls, Chabert has most recently been seen starring in numerous holiday films, most of them for Hallmark, including Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up and A Merry Scottish Christmas, along with the franchise The Wedding Veil. Securing her involvement in Hot Frosty was considered a coup for Netflix, sources tell us, given the actress’s cachet in the holiday space. This year, she’ll also be seen starring opposite Kristoffer Polaha in The Christmas Quest for Hallmark.

Perhaps best known for directing episodes of series like My Life with the Walter Boys and Schitt’s Creek, Ciccoritti has also helmed TV movies like Turkey Drop and Angel Falls Christmas, among many other projects.

Chabert is repped by Innovative Artists and Thruline Entertainmen; Milligan by Gersh, Red Management, and McKuin Frankel Whitehead; Robinson by UTA, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Ziffren Brittenham; Lo Truglio by 3 Arts, Andy Corren Management, and Hirsch Wallerstein Hayum; Mixon by Verve and Principal Entertainment LA; Holly by Mavrick Artists Agency, The Characters Talent Agency, and Gilbertson Entertainment; Stause by UTA; and Ciccoritti by OAZ..

‘Extended Family’ Canceled After One Season At NBC

The comedy has been canceled by NBC after one season. It comes after the network handed third seasons to Night Court and Lopez vs. Lopez and gave Happy’s Place, the comedy starring Reba McEntire, a series order.

Extended Family follows Jim, played by Jon Cryer, and Julia, played by Abigail Spencer, who, after an amicable divorce, continue to raise their kids at the family home while taking turns on who gets to stay with them. Navigating the waters of divorce and child-sharing gets more complicated for Jim when the owner of his favorite sports teams (Donald Faison) enters the picture and wins Julia’s heart.

Its first season ended in March after 13 episodes.

Extended Family is produced by Lionsgate and Universal Television. O’Malley serves as showrunner and exec produces alongside Cryer, Tom Werner, Wyc Grousbeck, Emilia Fazzalari, George Geyer, Victor Levin, Victoria Morrow, and James Widdoes.

The show has had an interesting route to air. In May 2022, it scored a pilot order at NBC with Cryer in talks to star. Faison and Spencer signed up in June 2022 and the off-cycle project scored a series order in September 2022. It eventually premiered in December 2023 but its production was disrupted by the writers and actors strikes last year.

Six episodes had been completed before the strike with seven more produced after the strike ended – Extended Family was back in production four days after the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Survivor’s Remorse creator O’Malley told Deadline earlier this year that he was “optimistic” about a second season.

“But I’ve been around long enough to know that 80 million things could happen between now and then,” he said. “I think our ratings have been good. Everyone in our business knows how hard it is to find stories, write stories, write episodes. The cast is unbelievable. We also have great kids. Everyone knows how hard it is to get a cast that feels like a family and is good at making sitcoms.”

Production is currently underway in New Mexico.

Coen is directing from his script written with wife Tricia Cooke, the veteran editor who cut such Coen Brothers classics as The Big Lebowski and O Brother, Where Art Thou?, also co-writing Drive-Away Dolls. Pic’s producers are Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Coen, Cooke, and Robert Graf.

Lacey Chabert and Kristoffer Polaha Set for Romantic Treasure Hunt in Hallmark’s The Christmas Quest

The duo wrapped production on the adventure-romance The Christmas Quest, premiering later this year as part of Hallmark’s 15th annual Countdown to Christmas programming event. The film also marks Chabert’s 15th (!!!) Hallmark Christmas movie.

The story follows an archeologist (played by Chabert) and her ex-husband (Polaha), an expert in ancient Norse languages, who are “sent to Iceland at Christmastime to search for a legendary treasure,” per the official synopsis. “When others join in the hunt, the pair find themselves swept into a thrilling adventure as they race to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.”

Dustin Rikert (A Merry Scottish Christmas, Where Are You, Christmas?) directed a script penned by Marcy Holland (A Biltmore Christmas).

“In the spirit of the best action-adventure romances, The Christmas Quest pairs Lacey Chabert and Kristoffer Polaha on a daring quest, with a unique holiday twist,” Samantha DiPippo, Senior Vice President of Development and Programming at Hallmark Media, said in a statement. “Lacey and Kristoffer are at their charming best together and are the perfect pair to take viewers on this journey.”

The Christmas Quest hails from Synthetic Cinema International, the company behind such Hallmark films as A Merry Scottish Christmas and A Biltmore Christmas, and Iceland’s Hero Productions.

NBC Renewal Status Report: ‘Law & Order: Organized Crime’ Mulls Move To Peacock; ‘Night Court’, ‘Lopez vs Lopez’ & ‘Extended Family’ Waiting

That leaves just a headful of shows on the bubble, mostly on the comedy side. The one drama series still waiting to hear its fate is Law & Order: Organized Crime. It’s always been an outlier, a departure from the Dick Wolf procedural brand with its darker and serialized storytelling. Possibly as a result, the series starring Christopher Meloni has performed below the five other Wolf dramas on the linear NBC network, while it has reportedly done well on Peacock.

That last part may prove key to Organized Crime‘s future, which has fans so worried they are launching petitions to help get the show renewed. I hear that if NBC opts not to proceed with Season 5 of Organized Crime, the series could migrate to Peacock, giving the NBCUniversal streamer an original Wolf drama series to go with the Wolf library and next-day runs of the Wolf Entertainment NBC series that are among the platform’s most viewed titles.

According to sources, there are ongoing conversations about Organized Crime potentially moving to Peacock for Season 5. There is a blueprint for that — another series in the Law & Order franchise that started on NBC, Criminal Intent, made a successful transition to another platform, running on USA Network for four additional seasons after the initial six on NBC.

Likely factoring into NBC’s decision on Organized Crime would be the internal reception and testing for network’s two drama pilots, Suits: LA and Grosse Pointe Garden Society.

Likely not factoring into the decision for now is the future of NBC’s 10 p.m. hour as there has been no further discussion of the network dropping the hour, a possibility that was explored two years ago. All three Chicago series, which air as a three-hour Wednesday lineup, have been renewed for next season.

Of NBC’s three existing comedy series, Night Court — the most watched and highest-rated one — is considered likely to get renewed. I hear conversations with series producer Warner Bros TV are ongoing and moving along, making a renewal in the near future a strong possibility.

Sophomore Lopez vs Lopez and freshman Extended Family are both on shakier ground and heavily on the bubble, but each is believed to have a path to renewal under the right circumstances.

NBC has on tap for 2024-25 Justin Spitzer’s new single-camera workplace comedy St. Denis Medical, with a multi-camera comedy pilot starring Reba McEntire in consideration. How strong that pilot comes in could determine whether one or more bubble comedies make it to next season.

Extended Family has a core cast of well known TV stars in Jon Cryer, Donald Faison and Abigail Spencer. It was not a breakout and had a relatively quiet run, but its ratings have been respectable and a little higher than those for Lopez vs Lopez.

However, the latter just launched its new season, so a decision on its future may not come until after the upfronts. The comedy, co-created by and starring veteran comedian George Lopez and his daughter Mayan Lopez, has held steady from the end of last season in the early going, so the direction of its ratings trajectory for the rest of its sophomore run would influence its renewal odds.i

Game Show Network Unveils New Series ‘Beat The Bridge’ Hosted By Cameron Mathison

Hosted by Mathison (General Hospital, Home & Family), based on BBC’s Bridge Of Lies from STV Studios, Beat The Bridge features an enormous interactive bridge that dares players to cross by stepping on the right answers to challenging trivia questions. Each step forward puts money in the team’s bank, with bonus money for each successful crossing. However, the team gets to keep the money only if it can “beat the bridge” by returning one of its players back across before time expires in an exciting end game.

Beat the Bridge is a Game Show Enterprises Studios production. Ed Egan serves as executive producer and Sabrina Hybel Snow as co-executive producer. Josephine Brassey, Gary Chippington and David Mortimer serve as executive producers for STV Studios.

Tic Tac Dough is an update of NBCUniversal’s classic format originally created by Robert Noah. Burns (Master Minds, The Chase) guides two contestants as they compete to place three of their marks in a row on the giant trivia board. Both players must try to avoid the dragon, who lurks to steal their turns and stands in their path to victory. After three rounds, the winning player moves on to face the dragon in the grand prize round, where the dragon moves strategically on the board to block the player’s ability to make three-in-a-row and take home $10,000.

Tic Tac Dough is produced by Game Show Enterprises Studios with Rane Laymance as executive producer and Sabrina Hybel Snow as co-executive producer. Village Roadshow Television serves as the studio with Harry Friedman, NBC’s Brenda Milinkovic and VRTV’s Shannon Perry executive producing.

Casting announcements were posted for both Beat the Bridge and Tic Tac Dough earlier this year, but this is the first official announcement from GSN.

Previously announced Flip Side is described as a fresh take on a traditional game show based on the format created by Keller/Noll. The easy to play-along game show pits two teams of players against each other to test them on how they think two different groups of people feel about the same issue. The teams compete for a shot at $10,000 by guessing the top answers based on anonymous surveys.

Flip Side is a Game Show Enterprises Studios production for CBS Media Ventures with Jay James, Corin Nelson and Rich Sirop serving as executive producers. Cleve Keller and Dave Noll (Keller/Noll) and Ken Ross also serve as executive producers. T. Jones serves as co-executive producer.s

Coogler is producing with Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian.

Kelli Giddish Extends ‘Law & Order: SVU’ Return With Second Season 25 Appearance

In the Season 25 opener, which aired in January, Amanda returned to celebrate the christening of her and Carisi’s (Peter Scanavino) baby. But the happy occasion was marred by the disappearance of a teenage girl. Olivia (Mariska Hargitay) realizes she saw the girl in a van as she was returning from the baptism and becomes obsessed with finding her.

Giddish exited the venerable series midway through Season 24 and then returned as a guest star in the Season 24 finale, which was part of a three-way crossover among Law & Order, SVU and Organized Crime. In her exit episode, Giddish’s character Rollins married ADA Sonny Carisi Jr (Scanavino). Rollins also revealed she was on a new career path and had accepted a teaching job at Fordham University. When she returned, she surprised her former colleagues with news that she was pregnant.

“Playing Rollins has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life,” she posted on social media last year announcing her exit. “There is simply no other character on TV like Rollins. She’s grown and changed, and I have as well.”

Dick Wolf is creator and executive producer of Law & Order: SVU. David Graziano, Julie Martin, Hargitay, Norberto Barba, Ken Brown, Arthur Forney and Peter Jankowski executive produce. The series is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment.

Malachy McCourt Dies: ‘Ryan’s Hope’ Actor, Brother Of ‘Angela’s Ashes’ Author Frank McCourt Was 92

His death was announced by his wife Diana McCourt to The New York Times.

The brother of Pulitzer Prize-winning Angela’s Ashes memoirist Frank McCourt, Malachy McCourt left an indelible mark on New York City’s Irish American community. As the owner of the quintessential 1950s Irish pub Malachy’s on Third Avenue in Manhattan – McCourt would often call it the city’s first singles bar, since he welcomed unaccompanied women to the establishment – the Brooklyn native became one of the city’s great story-tellers, regaling patrons from longshoremen to the actor Richard Harris with blarney, rugby talk and biographical anecdotes.

His way with words would hold him in good stead through a wide-ranging career path that included acting, writing, talk-show hosting and politics.

Born Malachy Gerard McCourt in Brooklyn on September 20, 1931, McCourt and his siblings were uprooted by parents Malachy and Angela McCourt to Limerick, Ireland. When his alcoholic father, a former member of the IRA, deserted the family after two years, leaving mother Angela to raise four of their surviving seven children in poverty, a harrowing tale detailed in Frank McCourt’s 1996 memoir Angela’s Ashes. (Frank McCourt died in 2009)

Malachy McCourt, who returned to New York at age 20, would later write his own memoirs including A Monk Swimming (1998), an account of his life in Limerick that picks up where Angela’s Ashes leaves off, and in 2000, Singing My Him Song, which recounts his later (sober) life as a husband and father. Other writing includes a history of the Irish ballad “Danny Boy.”

An occasional guest on Jack Paar’s Tonight Show and sometime host of New York radio programs, McCourt also acted on stage (he co-wrote and co-starred in A Couple of Blaguards with brother Frank); movies The Molly Maguires (1970), The Brink’s Job (1978), Brewster’s Millions (1985), Starman (1987), and The Devil’s Own (1997), among others; and such TV series as Oz, Tales of the Unexpected and Remember WENN.

McCourt appeared on numerous New York-based soaps, including One Life To Live, Search For Tomorrow and Another World, but will best be remember for his annual Christmas appearances on All My Children as the possibly angelic Father Clarence and, most especially, in the recurring role of bartender Kevin MacGuinness throughout the entire 14-year run of Ryan’s Hope.

Bringing a outsized touch of Irish authenticity to the Washington Heights-set soap, McCourt’s Kevin was best friend to bar owner Johnny Ryan (Bernie Barrow) and truth-telling thorn-in-side to the trouble-making family in-law Delia (Ilene Kristen). In all, McCourt appeared in 217 episodes of the 1975-1989 series.

Offscreen, McCourt waged a high-profile, if ultimately losing, political battle in 2006 when he ran for governor of New York as a Green Party candidate. An outspoken opponent of the war in Iraq, McCourt was an early and vociferous proponent of allowing gay and lesbian groups to march in New York’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

In addition to wife Diana, McCourt is survived by daughter Siobhan McCourt; sons Malachy Jr., Conor and Cormac; stepdaughter Nina Galin; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandson. e

Matt Bomer Joins Keanu Reeves, Jonah Hill And Cameron Diaz In Apple’s ‘Outcome’

Co-written by Hill and Ezra Woods, Outcome follows Reef (Reeves), a damaged Hollywood star who must dive into the dark depths of his past to confront his demons and make amends after he is extorted with a mysterious video clip. An Apple Studios production, the film will be produced by Matt Dines, Ali Goodwin and Hill under their Strong Baby banner.

The film marks the latest collaboration for Hill and Apple Original Films; they are also developing a Grateful Dead biopic with Martin Scorsese’s Sikelia Productions, to be directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. Hill is starring and producing in that under Strong Baby with Dines and Goodwin.

Bomer is coming off quite a celebrated fall that included starring in and executive producing Showtime’s adaptation of Thomas Mallon’s novel Fellow Travelers alongside Jonathan Bailey. The limited series chronicled the clandestine romance of two very different men who meet in McCarthy-era Washington. For his role of Hawkins ‘Hawk’ Fuller, Bomer received Golden Globe, Critics Choice and SAG Awards nominations. He also earned high marks for his role opposite Bradley Cooper in Netflix’s Oscar-nominated Maestro.

He is repped by CAA, Anonymous Content and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox.

Lauren Holly & Bruce Boxleitner Join Great American Family Holiday Movie Opposite Jill Wagner, Jesse Hutch

The duo will co-star in Aurora Christmas opposite network mainstays Jill Wagner and Jesse Hutch. The movie follows Erin (Wagner), who joins her dad Doug (Boxleitner) for a Christmas in the family’s former hometown of Aurora on a mission that is part business and major bucket list item for Erin to see the Aurora Borealis light up the Northern sky. Realtor Lori (Holly) and family friend and local tour guide Trevor (Hutch) create a Christmas inspired at every turn by faith, love, and hope, so much so that Christmas bells hung over decades in a forest grove ring an unbroken song, a harbinger of miracles to come.

Great American Family’s holiday roster of stars includes Mario Lopez, Candace Cameron Bure, Cameron Mathison and Danica McKellar. More actors will be announced at a later date.

“As we approach year four of our Great American Christmas franchise, we are proud of the family of actors we have assembled that are at the top of every viewer’s list of favorites. This high quality talent is just one of the elements that distinguishes Great American Family from other networks and content providers who are simply making movies that are set during the Christmas season,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. “Our storytelling is filled with characters who revere family, faith and country and their journeys establish a foundation of hope and joy for so many viewers throughout the Christmas season.”

Aurora Christmas is executive produced by Brad Krevoy, Jill Wagner, Susie Belzberg Krevoy, and Micheline Blais. David Anselmo produces. Kelly Martin is supervising producer. It is written by Amyn Kaderali with revisions by Ernie Barbarash.

Great American Christmas returns in October.

Susan Lucci Reveals the 3 Foods She Eats Every Day Since Having 2 Heart Operations

After having two heart surgeries in the past five years, the All My Children alum makes sure to always buy salmon, blueberries and kale when visiting the grocery store.

"My doctor told me, ‘You keep doing what you’re doing because something good will come from that,’” the daytime TV legend, 77, told Fox News, explaining that she sticks to the Mediterranean diet.

“I do have the occasional pasta and carbs,” said Lucci, who's now an ambassador for the American Heart Association. “I love cheese, but I don’t eat much of it, hardly ever. I love ice cream, but I moderate it. It’s all about moderation.”

She tries to avoid foods high in cholesterol, which was not something she always did.

“My husband was an executive chef trained in Europe,” she said of her late husband Helmut Huber. “I remember I would eat everything that he was cooking. It was like monopoly food. And I did build up cholesterol.”

Lucci transitioned to a diet full of superfoods — and practices daily pilates — which is why she initially ignored her heart symptoms.

In Oct. 2018, she started feeling intense chest pressure "like an elephant pressing down" and pain around her rib cage. "Like most women, I thought, 'I have too much to do. It will go away.' I didn't want to bother the cardiologist," she told PEOPLE in March 2023. "We take care of our children, we are advocates for our loved ones, but we're not at the top of our own to-do list."

A scan revealed a 90% blockage in the main artery to her heart: "I didn't realize how close I came to a fatal heart attack," she said of needing emergency surgery and a stent inserted in her heart, which is a tube that helps keep the passageway open. Her condition turned out to be genetic ("hereditary from my dad's side") and doctors put in two stents.

In January 2022, after indulging in lots of "comfort food" during the pandemic — "not my normal way of eating," she said, Lucci had another major scare.

The medical team subsequently discovered an 80 percent artery blockage — this time caused by cholesterol — and inserted another stent in her heart to open the blockage after she was rushed to the cardiac catheterization lab.

Now feeling healthy, Lucci wants to remind other women to pay attention to the signs.

"My message for women is to listen to your body," she told Fox News. "Always put yourself on your to-do list. We don’t even put ourselves on the list. I’m lucky I’m here to tell my story."

Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos hid marriage from All My Children crew for months until Wendy Williams exposed it

Consuelos teased the couple's upcoming Live excursion to film episodes in Las Vegas — where the couple eloped 27 years ago — on Thursday morning by describing the journey as heading "back to the scene of the crime," which Ripa elaborated on during the talk show's opening host chat.

"Our secret wedding, discovered by none other than Wendy Williams. True facts, I'm not kidding," Ripa explained, noting that the pair traveled to the Clark County courthouse to get a marriage license, where an eyewitness saw them and leaked the news to Williams, who was then a prominent gossip reporter on New York City radio.

"We'd eloped. It'd been a few months at that point, we'd been married for three months, nobody at [All My Children] knew we were even dating, much less married to each other. We're brushing our teeth and we've got Wendy Williams' radio show on. We're listening, and she's like, 'I've got celebrity dish,'" Ripa remembered. "The celebrities, I guess they had a broad use of the term back then, was the fact that two soap stars from All My Children, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos ... eloped in Las Vegas. There was this eyewitness that worked in the Clark County courthouse that said we eloped, and the news broke, and we had to tell everybody we were married."

Ripa explained that the couple, who starred together on the beloved soap, kept their marriage a secret from their coworkers "because we worked together and we didn't want it to be perceived that somehow we couldn't work together," she said, later saying that "it seemed like a good idea" at the time, though Consuelos eventually labeled it a "hair-brained idea" in the end.

In an interview with PEOPLE, actor James Kiberd, who played the uncle of Ripa's All My Children character, recalled that the couple both worked "hard" and had "lots of talent," and suggested that their relationship didn't interfere with production.

Ripa and Consuelos will return to Las Vegas on Feb. 26 and 27, where they'll broadcast new episodes from the city's Fontainebleau locale.

Live With Kelly and Mark airs weekdays in syndication. Check your local listings for showtimes in your area. .

Facts

1. Zach's Poem about Myrtle:

   (Zach's voice) Now who will lead our carnival?
   And who will make us stronger?
   Who will mend our broken sleep when she is here no longer?
   For who's part do we stand and bow?
   What stories do we tell?
   And will we memorize the day when great and greatness fell?
   Say will this valley overcome, and will these shadows fade?
   And will we lift our eyes to see the beauty that she made?
   The disappearing last of her that leads to worlds unknown,
   has left a path to softly tread when sadness wanders home.
   I'll meet thee where the highland winds divide wild mountain tyne,
   where I will be forever yours and you, forever mine.
   (Myrtle's voice) And, trust me, the angels are on your side.

    1998: Jake agreed to be Liza's sperm donor. He was psyched when young Colby was born, but didn't realize Adam was the true dad; he switched sperm samples!

    2000: When the truth about Colby came out, a furious Jake left town.

57. Erica Kane's Rap Sheet: What makes a star? In today's world, charisma, money and talent are only pieces of the puzzle. Trouble with the law is the benchmark for celebrity and if Erica Kane's rap sheet is any indication, she's at the top of the A-list. Erica is facing insider trading charges (just like Martha Stewart did), but she's no stranger to jail cells. Take a look back at her ever thickening file with the Pine Valley police department:

    1977: Erica wanted Nick Davis for herself, but faced competition from the–as she saw it–gauche and inferior Claudette Montgomery. Naturally, Erica decided to frame Claudette for marijuana possession to get her out of the way. Too bad Nick turned the tables on Erica by planting the drugs on her instead.

    1982: "At the pinnacle of my beauty," as Erica once put it, she faced murder charges. She had discovered her lover and boss, Kent Bogard, was having an affair with her sister, Silver Kane. Furious, Erica confronted Kent with a gun and it went off in a struggle. Kent was killed, but Silver claimed she witnessed Erica murder him in cold blood. Erica was arrested, but went on the run disguised as a nun. Later, it was revealed Silver wasn't Erica's sister—she was a con artist—so Erica was cleared of all charges.

    1993: Erica was arrested for stabbing her husband Dimitri Marick. She wasn't intentionally homicidal, just a victim of her long lost daughter from hell, Kendall Hart. Kendall falsely accused Dimitri of raping her, sending Ms. Kane over the edge. A rape survivor herself, Erica flashed back to her own assault, saw Dimitri as her attacker and plunged a letter opener into his chest. To dig the knife in further (so to speak), Kendall perjured herself by denying any rape claim, making Erica's attack seem premeditated. Kendall's lies were exposed and Erica was acquitted—but she started opening mail the old fashioned way.

    1997: Warning: No man cheats on Erica Kane without consequences! Dimitri found this out the hard way after he slept with his sister-in-law, Dr. Maria Grey, and she found herself pregnant. Everyone, including Erica, wrongly assumed the child was Dimitri's. Stranded with Maria, Erica delivered the baby and rushed it to the hospital, only to drive off a bridge (oops). Never one to let ideal circumstances pass by, Erica allowed the world to think the baby had died. Erica believed the child would never be accepted because of her scandalous conception, so she kept the baby for herself. A true trendsetter, Erica helped start the celebrity adoption craze when she told the world that Maria's little girl was Sonya, a Russian infant. Erica eventually realized her wrongs and confessed. She was sent to prison, but paroled months later.

    1998: Erica found herself in the middle of a love triangle with Jack and Mike Roy, her presumed dead husband (sort of–the marriage was invalid). When Jack kidnapped Erica to shake some sense into her, she called Mike to rescue her. The resulting madness got the three arrested for disturbing the peace.

    2000: Adam begged Erica to speak on his behalf in his custody hearing for his daughter, Colby. Despite the judge's protests for order, Erica demanded to be heard and was arrested for contempt of court.

    2001: Erica's maternal instinct went into overdrive after the murder of Mary Frances "Frankie" Stone. Erica's daughter, Bianca, had nursed a longtime crush on Frankie. Since Frankie rejected Bianca, Erica assumed that Bianca must have murdered her. Ms. Kane confessed to the crime to divert suspicion away from Bianca, and even paid Kendall to return to Pine Valley as a negative character witness. When Bianca learned what was going on, she was able to clear up any suspicion, and the Kane women were cleared.

    2002: Erica was on a roll: Two arrests in one year! Erica was arrested for perjury and obstructing justice in her efforts to make herself appear guilty of Frankie's murder. Months later, Erica broke into Kendall's hotel room to try to dig for evidence that Trey Kenyon burned down her posh home, Linden. She was arrested for breaking and entering, and spent Thanksgiving in prison. Opal Cortlandt, Myrtle Fargate and Bianca spent the holiday in the cell with her.

    2008: Erica was arrested for insider trading, amidst claims that she unjustly used a stock tip from Adam Chandler. Samuel Woods, an attorney with eyes on a Senate seat, wants to make a high-profile example of Erica. But Erica Kane is nobody's victim. She's volunteered to go to prison to keep Samuel from getting the best of her. And just like Martha, she intends to come out a winner.

    1983: The two eloped and Angie got pregnant. Fearing rejection, Angie kept the pregnancy secret and divorced Jesse. Angie gave birth to a boy just as Jesse found out about the pregnancy. He told Angie he wanted to raise their son together, but Les already gave the baby up for adoption. Angie and Jesse tracked down their son and kidnapped him from his adoptive parents. They named their boy Frankie. The couple remarried and went on the run.

    1984: The lovebirds were found and Jesse was arrested. Despite this, the couple sued for custody of Frankie and won. To make ends meet, Jesse began singing with a rising star, Yvonne Caldwell. Yvonne had eyes for Jesse, while his half-brother Eugene longed for Angie.

    1985: Eugene and Yvonne schemed to split up Angie and Jesse. They managed to dissolve the trust between them enough so the couple separated. Soon their manipulations were exposed and Angie and Jesse reunited. Angie prepared for medical school and was sexually harassed by her instructor, Dr. Voight.

    1986: Angie reported Dr. Voight, but he managed to dodge any charges. With Jesse's help, they took the dirty doc down.

    1987: Jesse discovered the head of a baby trafficking ring, "Mr. Big," was actually his father-in-law, Les! Jesse confronted Les, they struggled and Les accidentally plummeted to his death in time for Angie to witness all. Distraught, Angie separated from Jesse but when she thought Jesse had been killed, they reconciled.

    1988: Jesse was shot in the line of duty. He died in Angie's arms.

    2008: Jesse and Angie return to Pine Valley. Yes, Jesse's coming back, too. How? Their story starts on January 18.

    Separated lovers find countless mysterious ways of corresponding. By sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children, the light of the sun, the sighing of the wind, and the gleam of the stars–all the beauties of creation. Love is never-ending, nor is it ever begging.

    A man is born. A woman is born for him. In the fight to find each other, the perfect moment awaits its destiny. When they meet they know. That's why love is never-ending, nor begging. It is always and forever.
