The Friday, June 9 episode of “General Hospital” was preempted due to ABC News coverage of the 37-count federal indictment against former President Donald J. Trump. The episode will now air on Monday, June 12, pushing all previously scheduled episodes back by one day for the foreseeable future. Courtesy of ABC News (via Screengrab) A repeat of the daytime drama series, originally aired Tuesday, March 1, 2022, was broken into for an ABC News Special Report after just 4:48 of the episode aired when “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir announced viewers would get to hear for the first time from Jack Smith, Special Counsel for the Department of Justice, who led the investigation which later prompted the unsealing of the federal indictment against former President Donald Trump and his aide Waltine Nauta. Courtesy of ABC News (via Screengrab) In the United States vs. Donald J. Trump and Waltine Nauta, Defendants (Case No. 23-80101-CR-Cannon/Reinhart), the South District of Florida indicted the former president after a Grand Jury found sufficient evidence to bring about charges, including willful retention, conspiracy to obstruct justice and false statements. Jack Smith, Special Counsel for the Department of Justice Courtesy of ABC News (via Screengrab) Speaking for just two and a half minutes from an undisclosed location in Washington, D.C., Smith outlined charges brought against the former president, saying, “This indictment was voted by a Grand Jury of citizens of the Southern District of Flordia. “I invite everyone to read it in full to understand the scope and the gravity of the crimes charged. The men and women of the United States intelligence community and our armed forces dedicate their lives to protecting our nation and its people. Our laws that protect national defense information are critical to the safety and security of the United States and they must be enforced. Violations of those laws put our country at risk. “Adherence to the rule of law is a bedrock principle of the Department of Justice and our nation’s commitment to the rule of law sets an example for the world. We have one set of laws in this country and they apply to everyone. Applying those laws, [and] collecting facts, that’s what determines the outcome of an investigation—nothing more and nothing less. “The prosecutors in my office are among the most talented and experienced in the Department of Justice. They have investigated this case hewing to the highest ethical standards and they will continue to do so as this case proceeds. It’s very important for me to note that the defendants, in this case, must be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. To that end, my office will seek a speedy trial in this matter consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused. We very much look forward to presenting our case to a jury of citizens in the Southern District of Florida. “In conclusion, I would like to thank the dedicated public servants of the Federal Bureau of Investigation with whom my office is conducting this investigation and who work tirelessly every day upholding the rule of law in our country. I’m deeply proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them.” Smith concluded his full statement without taking questions, in line with what was expected by the news media. Courtesy of ABC News (via Screengrab) A summary of the 37 charges can be read below: Counts #1-31 – Willful Retention of National Defense Information Count #32 – Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice Count #33 – Withholding a Document or Record Count #34 – Corruptly Concealing a Document or Record Count #35 – Concealing a Document in a Federal Investigation Count #36 – Scheme to Conceal Count #37 – False Statements and Representations Click here to download a copy of the full 44-page indictment.

Titled “Paris Christmas Waltz,” an expansion to the highly successful “Christmas Waltz” movie franchise by Michael Damian (DannyRomalotti, “The Young and the Restless”) and Janeen Damian, the movie follows Emma (Lilley) who quits her job so a colleague with a family will keep his. Contemplating life’s next steps, Emma meets a professional dancer, Leo (Morrison), whose love for competitive dancing is waning until a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arises for the novice to join the pros and sweep all of Paris off its feet. The movie was shot on location in Paris and highlights majestic views from the city’s most iconic destinations. Collaborating on 17 original movies, including the highest-rated holiday movie of 2020, “The Christmas Waltz,” the Damians reteam with Michael directing from an original screenplay he co-wrote with his wife, Janeen, who herself also serves as a producer. The movie is being executive produced by Brad Krevoy, Amy Krell, Jimmy Townsend and Lorenzo Nardini. Best known for her portrayal of Maxie Jones on “General Hospital” (2011-2012) and as Theresa Donovan on “Days of our Lives” (2013-2016, 2018), Lilley has made a name for herself appearing in more than a dozen TV movies for either Hallmark Channel or Great American Family, including playing the head writer of a daytime soap opera in “A Little Daytime Drama” which co-starred Ryan Paevey (ex-Nathan West, “General Hospital”) and Linda Dano (ex-Felicia Gallant, Another World). For his part, for six seasons, Morrison played Will Schuester in the musical comedy series “Glee.” He followed the role up with appearances in several popular primetime dramas, including “Younger,” “The Good Wife,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “American Horror Story.” In 2020, he played The Grinch in “Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical,” NBC’s live-action TV adaptation of the Broadway stage musical based on the Dr. Seuss classic, “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.” Note: The post Jen Lilley and Matthew Morrison Team Up in ‘Paris Christmas Waltz’ for Great American Family appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website.

Molly Wolveck, the mother of “The Young and the Restless” star Kate Linder, has passed away. She was 98 years old. She died at her home in Arcadia, CA on Thursday, June 1, 2023, a family spokesperson confirms. Born November 20, 1924 in Los Angeles, California, Wolveck was the only child of Henry and Esther Mandelbaum who owned a local dry cleaning store. Growing up in Pasadena, Molly met the man who would become her future husband, Ralph Wolveck, while on a trip to Lake Gregory when she was just years old. The two were wed three years later on March 21, 1943. The two worked together at the local Market Basket grocery store, but when Ralph got a job as an usher at a local theater, Molly spent her free time watching movies as a way to spend time with him. Later, she was instrumental in helping her husband start his CPA firm and which she helped run. Eventually settling in Arcadia, the two spent the next 70 wonderful years together until Ralph passed away in 2013. Known for their incredible work ethic, Molly continued to run the family business until she herself passed away earlier this month. Kate Linder (“The Young and the Restless”) Photo by Sonja Flemming/CBS An avid fan of “The Young and the Restless” since the show’s very first episode in 1973, Wolveck was delighted when her daughter joined the show’s cast nine years later – in 1982, playing Esther Valentine. She was even more thrilled when she and her late husband had an opportunity to appear on the daytime drama series together as restaurant patrons. Molly made a second guest appearance on the show in 2017. Enjoying an active social life, Wolveck spent many nights at dinner or the theatre and was a familiar and welcome face at many Hollywood and arts events in Los Angeles and Pasadena over the decades. She could also be found cheering on her favorite baseball team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, for which she continuously purchased family season tickets year after year which she bonded over with her son, Randy. Even in her 90s, Molly played tennis as well as golf. For her 70th birthday, she went skydiving. Wolveck is survived by her daughter Kate and her son Randy, and his wife Gina, and her 7 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and scores of nieces and nephews. There will be a private memorial and donations can be made to the Molly Wolveck Memorial Fund at the Lupus Foundation of America.

Due to the Memorial Day holiday, all daytime broadcast shows, except for “The Price is Right” and “NBC News Daily,” were coded as specials on Monday, May 29. As a result, ratings for the week of May 29-June 2, 2023 are (mostly) based on four days (Tuesday, May 30-Friday, June 2, 2023).

Despite being preempted on Monday, May 29 due to NBC’s airing of the French Open, “NBC News Daily” (999,000) saw a small uptick week-to-week among Total Viewers, adding +29,000 viewers over last week. The show still averaged a very weak 0.1 rating in Women 18-49, the same as last week. “GMA3: What You Need to Know” (1.439 million) was up +110,000 week-to-week and was the only other daytime broadcast show to see an increase compared to its performance two years ago, gaining +23,000 viewers over its average in 2021. Meanwhile, “The View” (2.204 million) was up +3,000 viewers over last week while “General Hospital” (2.102 million) managed to stop the five weeks of declines reported last week, gaining +35,000 viewers over last week. “The Talk” aired repeats all week and is excluded from the rankings.

Former talk show queen Wendy Williams (“The Wendy Williams Show”) has been checked into a wellness center, reports Entertainment Tonight, citing Williams’ manager, Will Selby. “Wendy is at a facility doing her best to be her best. She’s taking it day by day,” Selby said to the news program of his client, who has been in and out of health facilities over the past few years. “And that’s another thing, too, does anybody even ask like, ‘How’s she doing? Does anyone even care… I feel like everyone just puts out negative information about her and that’s the focus. Why don’t we just stop for a moment and just say, ‘Hey, how is she? Is she doing OK today?’ Why is that not the focus? Why isn’t that what we’re talking about on a daily basis?” Reminding people of how much Williams has gone through over the years — the end of her long-running television show, her battles with Graves’ disease and lymphedema — Selby asked for critics and fans to show the beloved TV personality some compassion, stating, “Just understand that she’s a human being that’s going through a lot. She’s dealing with a lot and support her, please.” With her primary focus on her health, Williams is said to be looking ahead to the future and the next chapter of her life. “She’s only thinking about things that she wants to do in her life,” Selby points out. “She’s only thinking about Wendy 2.0 and her new chapter of her life, and the things that she wants to accomplish, and that’s our focus.” In an interview with The U.S. Sun, Williams’ son, Kevin Hunter Jr. told the outlet that he believed his mother’s team is taking advantage of her and her wealth amid her battle with alcoholism. In response, Selby told Entertainment Tonight, “Taking advantage of her for what? To get what? To do what? I’m not here to brag, but I was doing just OK before Wendy came along and I insisted on helping her because she requested my assistance.” Pointing out that Williams is under court-appointed guardianship, Selby says there is no way he, anyone on her team, or anyone else for that matter could be taking advantage of her. He says, “Wendy is under a guardianship. Everything that she does gets approved by the guardianship. A court-appointed guardianship. So, no one, even if they wanted to take advantage of her — everything has to get approved by that court.” He adds, “So, any type of business dealings that we do, Wendy, myself and anyone — we have to get the guardianship to sign off on it. So how can anyone take advantage of her?” Williams hosted “The Wendy Williams Show” for 12 seasons in national syndication. During the 2021-2022 television season, the show’s 13th season aired without Williams in her famous purple chair for a single episode. Instead, guest hosts rotated all season. As a result, producer Debmar-Mercury decided to cancel the daytime talk show and replaced it with “Sherri,” a new daytime talk show hosted by Sherri Shepherd, who was one of many guest hosts stepping in for Williams during season 13. Ratings for episodes hosted by Shepherd performed the best. Note: The post REPORT: Wendy Williams Enters Wellness Center Amid Health Concerns appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website.

More than a month since she was arrested by Pasadena PD for her involvement in an automobile accident, “General Hospital” actress Haley Pullos (Molly Lansing-Davis) is being sued by the driver of one of the cars she hit, reports TMZ. According to the outlet, a man named Courtney Wilder is suing Pullos, alleging it’s her fault he went to the hospital after he tried to swerve his vehicle to avoid Pullos who was driving the wrong way on a freeway offramp. In his claim, obtained by TMZ, Wilder “didn’t have time to react when he saw headlights coming his way and crashed head-on into Haley.” Wilder was later transported to the hospital in critical condition. Also referenced in the lawsuit against Pullos is her allegedly hitting a firefighter, yelling, “This is a $400 f***ing shirt!” when the responder tried rendering her care. Wilder was reportedly shocked to hear about the outburst by Pullos, claiming she cared more about an “overpriced shirt” than the “safety and well-being of the crash victims.” In the lawsuit, Wilder points out that Pullos should have stopped driving immediately after she ran into an earlier vehicle, which became a hit-and-run as Pullos sped away from that incident and would later crash into Wilder on the freeway. Wilder further notes that Pullos shouldn’t have even been behind the wheel of a car after “mixing alcohol with weed edibles.” At the accident scene, police searched Pullos’ vehicle and allegedly found weed edibles and mini-bottles of tequila. They later arrested the actress for felony DUI when she was taken to the hospital. Pullos allegedly reeked of alcohol, “had watery eyes and slurred speech.” Monetarily, it’s unknown how much Wilder is suing Pullos over. When reached for comment, representatives for Pullos had no comment for TMZ. On May 18, The Daily Mail reported Pullos was driven by her father to a Malibu detox and residential treatment facility. At press time, it was unknown whether the actress remained at the facility or if she had since been discharged. “General Hospital” has temporarily recast the role of Molly Lansing-Davis with newcomer Holiday Mia Kriegel (“Bull,” “Animal Kingdom”), who made her first appearance on the soap on Thursday, May 25. “Unfortunately, I was involved in an automobile accident and I’m doing okay, but I am going to need a little time to recover. I will be back as soon as possible!” Pullos told Soap Opera Digest a week before news of her arrest as a result of the accident became public.

Photo by Cacá Santorano and Collective Media. On Thursday, June 22, “The Young and the Restless” will air a standalone episode filled with classic flashbacks dedicated to the legacy of John Abbott and his portrayer, the late Jerry Douglas. The help celebrate, the show has cast the late actor’s wife, author and television personality, Kym Douglas, to play a woman named “Zelda Wilford,” who is said to share a special connection with the Abbott family. For more than 30 years, Jerry Douglas portrayed Abbott patriarch John Abbott. The actor passed away on November 9, 2021, just three days shy of celebrating what would have been his 89th birthday – November 12, 2021. In a statement announcing the actor’s death at the time, then-executive producer Anthony Morina said of Douglas, “Jerry came to ‘Y&R’ in 1982 with an impressive resume of credits. Our show was lucky to have an actor of his caliber join the ‘Y&R’ cast and introduce the audience to the iconic Abbott family. His contribution to the legacy of ‘Y&R’ as Abbott family patriarch, John Abbott is still felt to this day. He will be sorely missed.” One month before his passing, the actor was joined by on-screen children – Peter Bergman (Jack Abbott), Eileen Davidson (Ashley Abbott) and Beth Maitland (Traci Abbott) – at Maggiano’s Restaurant at The Grove near the Television City studio where the soap opera is taped in order to celebrate the actor’s 89th birthday in advance. Lauralee Bell (Christine Blair) and Tracey E. Bregman (Lauren Fenmore Baldwin) also attended. Born in Chelsea, Massachusetts, Douglas graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from Brandeis University where he played quarterback for the school’s team on a football scholarship. Upon graduation, Douglas launched his acting career and quickly adapted into the entertainment world as both a screenwriter and a playwright, developing projects with Josh O’Connell through their production company, O’Connell/Douglas Productions. Jerry Douglas and Kym Douglas were married for nearly 37 years. “The Young and the Restless” is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary.

It looks like “General Hospital” is heavily invested in what’s next for Kristina Corinthos-Davis now that Kate Mansi has taken over the role. Mansi, who for years portrayed Abigail Deveraux DiMera on “Days of our Lives” and even won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal, has been placed on contract with the ABC series following her official debut during the Wednesday, May 24 episode, according to recent updates to the show’s end credits. The actress is listed under the contract cast just behind Jane Elliot who recently returned to the show as Tracy Quartermaine, and ahead of James Patrick Stuart (Valentin Cassadine), who traditionally leads off the recurring cast list that closes out the end credits. Lexi Ainsworth, who had played Kristina on the daytime drama series until her final appearance on the April 27, 2023 episode, had been on recurring status with the soap. Ainsworth herself won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Kristina in 2017.

Former “General Hospital” star Ingo Rademacher (ex-Jasper “Jax” Jacks) has lost his legal battle against Disney’s ABC over the company’s then vaccine requirement for employees, which has since been rescinded. Courtesy of ABC According to Deadline, “A Los Angeles Superior Court Judge agreed with ABC in that the actor’s opposition [to getting vaccinated] was based on health reasons rather than his religious leanings.” While noting a detailed ruling by Judge Stephen Goorvitch is expected in the next several weeks, attorneys for Rademacher had no comment for the outlet when contacted. Further, Deadline states, “…based on precedent, it is very likely the actor will appeal.” On November 8, 2021, it was announced that Rademacher had been let go from the ABC drama series along with co-star Steve Burton (ex-Jason Morgan; now Harris Michaels on “Days of our Lives”) after the two refused to get vaccinated by the Disney/ABC deadline, which was November 1, 2021. Rademacher’s final air date was November 22, 2021. During his final scenes, Rademacher’s Jax told his ex-wife Carly (Laura Wright) of his plans to leave Port Charles in order to handle some business in Sydney, Australia. “Look, besides Josslyn [Eden McCoy] and Alexis [Nancy Lee Grahn], I’m kind of on the outs with everyone in Port Charles right now,” declared Jax, eerily aligning with real-life as Rademacher received backlash over his controversial comment about the trans community, wherein he depicted transphobic sentiments in an Instagram post. The timing of the post and the responses that followed prompted ABC to officially confirm the actor was no longer employed at the company. “The fellow actor, #IngoRademacher, is mercifully no longer a part of the #gh cast,” commented Grahn on Twitter prior to ABC’s confirmation. Rademacher issued a public apology to Cassandra James, a trans actress who continues to play Terry Randolph on the soap opera, saying, “Cassandra, I apologize to you sincerely. I think you’re an absolute talent and you’re very beautiful as well. I don’t think a transphobic man would say that. I think you’re absolutely gorgeous, I really do.” While claiming not to be against vaccines themselves, Rademacher has long been vocal against vaccine mandates or “passports.” In an August 2021 post, months before Disney/ABC officially implemented its then mandate, Rademacher said, “If you want to get the vaccine because you have a fear of dying from this virus, talk to your doctor and decide. This is about freedom to choose what’s best for you. A huge percentage of our population have already recovered from COVID and have natural immunity, why does that not count? Please let that sink in. Taking the vaccine does not stop you from getting COVID, spreading it, or dying from it. Now would be a good time to be honest and start following the science.” In a memorandum of points and authorities included in a motion to quash an ABC subpoena filed by Rademacher’s attorneys last year, they pointed out the reason the actor was suing ABC in the first place. “[Rademacher] filed this action alleging violations of his privacy rights, unlawful religious and medical condition discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination,” the suit starts out, citing ABC’s decision in summer 2021 to order anybody working on a television show it produced to get a Covid-19 vaccination. “That meant, Ingo, as a cast member of the ABC-produced soap opera, ‘General Hospital,’ which he had been a cast member for 25 years, was required to receive a Covid-19 shot to continue working on the show or request a religious exemption,” the suit says, concluding, “Although ABC claimed to grant exemptions for sincerely held religious objections to the shot, it refused to accept Ingo’s request – without explanation. ABC then terminated Ingo’s contract to perform.” After a two-year break from the series, Rademacher returned to “General Hospital” in May 2019. He first joined the series in 1996 as the rich playboy who fell in love with model Brenda Barett (Vanessa Marcil). The actor also played Thorne Forrester on “The Bold and the Beautiful” and made an appearance in CBS’ “Hawaii Five-0.” Note: The post <strong>Former ‘General Hospital’ Star Ingo Rademacher Loses Legal Battle Against ABC Over Covid Vaccine Mandate</strong> appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website.

For the first time since “All My Children” went off the air in 2011, fans of the daytime drama series will find out what happened to Jackson Montgomery when his portrayer, Walt Willey, joins the cast of “General Hospital” next month for a brief stint. According to Soap Opera Digest, which first reported the news, Willey will reprise the role of Jackson when the character heads to Port Charles. This marks the second time Willey will have portrayed the character in another series outside of “All My Children.” He previously portrayed the character over several episodes of “The City” in 1996. In a post on Facebook, Willey confirmed his joining “General Hospital,” saying, “Been sitting on this one for a while but now I’ve been given the clearance to announce that ‘Jackson Montgomery’ is visiting Port Charles! I’ll be doing a few episodes of ‘General Hospital,’ due to air mid July. So excited to reprise my character and see and work with old friends!” He added, “I’ll keep you posted on any details. ‘Jackson’ in Port Charles…who would have thought it? Let me, and ABC, know what you think about it!” Willey’s appearance on “General Hospital” marks a reunion of sorts for the actor as he previously appeared in scenes with Finola Hughes when she appeared on “All My Children” as her Anna Devane character from 2001-2003. Other notable “All My Children” alums who have made their way to “General Hospital,” albeit as new characters, include James Patrick Stuart (ex-Will Cortlandt; now Valentin Cassadine), Michael E. Knight (ex-Tad Martin; now Martin Grey), Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee Smythe; ex-Hayden Barnes on “GH”) and Cameron Mathison (ex-Ryan Lavery; now Drew Cain). Although specific storyline details have yet to be revealed, it’s understood that Jackson is likely to be providing some legal expertise, similar to the experience needed by Nora Buchanan (Hillary B. Smith) from “One Life to Live” in 2017 and 2019, respectively. Willey joined the cast of “All My Children” in 1987 and played Jackson Montgomery until the show’s series finale, which aired on September 23, 2011. In the final moments of the episode, Jackson tells Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) he will no longer stand by her and she can go to Los Angeles alone after she tells him she doesn’t want to marry him. Desperate for him to go with her, Erica runs after Jackson, begging him to listen to her. In the end, Jackson spouts the iconic line, “Frankly, Erica, I don’t give a damn what you need,” referencing the famous line from the 1939 classic film, “Gone with the Wind,” wherein Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) tells Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh), “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” Upon hearing the updated line on “All My Children,” Erica again runs after Jackson just as JR Chandler (then played by Jacob Young) aims his gun and fires, leaving fans pondering who got shot – in the 2013 reboot it was revealed to be JR’s ex-wife, Marissa Tasker (Sarah Glendening). Prior to joining “All My Children,” Willey appeared on the soaps “The Edge of Night,” “Another World,” “As The World Turns,” and “Ryan’s Hope.” His most recent acting credit is as Gregory Ashford in the digital drama series “Tainted Dreams.” Watch a clip below of Jackson and Anna’s interaction on “All My Children.” Watch a clip below of the final moments from the series finale of “All My Children.” Note: The post Walt Willey Heading to ‘General Hospital’ as His ‘All My Children’ Character Jackson Montgomery appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website.

After the success of “Hocus Pocus 2” on Disney+ last year, Sean Bailey, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production, has confirmed that a third film is in the works. In a profile with The New York Times, the outlet noted that “Hocus Pocus 3” is currently in development at the studio, although there is no word yet on whether the next film will head straight to Disney+ or be available in theaters first. In its reporting, The Times points out Bailey oversees a division that makes “two or three big-budget films annually for release in theaters and three modestly budgeted movies for Disney+.” Debuting September 30, 2022 on Disney+, “Hocus Pocus 2” marked the return of the Sanderson sisters 29 years after the original’s release. The film starred Bette Midler (“The First Wives Club,” “Beaches”), Sarah Jessica Parker (“Sex and the City,” “Divorce”), and Kathy Najimy (“Sister Act,” “Younger”), who reprised their roles as Winifred, Sarah and Mary, respectively. Anne Fletcher (“Dumplin,’” “The Proposal”) directed from a script by Jen D’Angelo, who in a previous interview with Variety hinted at a potential follow-up film in which fans could see what’s happening in the lives of Max Dennison (Omri Katz) and Allison Watts (Vinessa Shaw), two key characters from the original who were noticeably missing from the sequel. “We tried so hard to get the original cast back for cameos and then it just kept not working out for one reason or the other,” D’Angelo said to Variety. “But I’m hoping in ‘Hocus Pocus 3,’ we’ll see Max and Alison living in California.” Meanwhile, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly during a promotional tour for “Hocus Pocus 2,” Midler told the publication, “If there was a third one, of course I’d sign on, but I don’t know how. I can’t imagine what the story would be, but I love Winifred, Sarah, Mary, and our relationship. It’s good for women. We stick together through hell and high water, but we do cause mayhem, and not many women cause that much mayhem!” “Hocus Pocus 2” set a Nielsen streaming movie record during its debut week, drawing 2.725 billion viewing minutes during the week of September 26-October 2, 2022. Overall, it placed number 2 on the Nielsen Top 10 streaming chart that week, behind only Netflix’s “Dahmer” which attracted 4.370 billion viewing minutes. “Hocus Pocus 2” also starred Sam Richardson (“The Tomorrow War”), Doug Jones (“The Shape of Water”), Hannah Waddingham (“Ted Lasso”), Whitney Peak (“Gossip Girl”), Belissa Escobedo (“American Horror Stories”), Lilia Buckingham (“Dirt”), Froy Gutierrez (“Teen Wolf”), and Tony Hale (“Veep”). The film was produced by Lynn Harris (“King Richard,” “The Shallows”), with Ralph Winter (“Hocus Pocus,” “X-Men” franchise), David Kirschner (“Hocus Pocus,” “Chucky”), and Adam Shankman (“Disenchanted,” “Hairspray”) serving as executive producers.

As previously reported, on Saturday, June 3 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT, Hallmark Channel kicks off its June Weddings programming event with “Wedding Season,” an all-new original movie starring Stephanie Bennett and Casey Deidrick (“Days of our Lives”). In the movie, journalist Trish Peterson (Bennett) is on back-to-back bridesmaid duty for her three childhood best friends in a whirlwind wedding season. When her designated date is unable to join her, she pairs up with photographer Ryan, (Deidrick) the brother of her best friend, Sean (Nathanael Vass, “Inventing the Christmas Prince”).

Former “Days of our Lives” and “General Hospital” star Tyler Christopher was arrested on May 26 for public intoxication, TMZ reported earlier this week. According to the outlet, Christopher was found sleeping on the ground near the American Airlines terminal at Burbank Airport. After being notified of the situation, the actor was awakened by officers who arrived on the scene. When questioned, Christopher reportedly told BPD he’d missed his flight. Allegedly, Christopher displayed “clear and objective signs of intoxication” and “was unable to care for himself.” Sources told the outlet that was justification enough for the arrest. After his arrest, Christopher was let go with a citation and expected to appear in court at a later date. Making his mark in television in 1996 when he joined the cast of “General Hospital” as Nikolas Cassadine, Christopher was previously arrested in 2019 for public intoxication, that time for passing out in an Uber which the driver alleged the actor urinated on himself while in the vehicle. From 2018-2019, Christopher took on the role of Stefan O. DiMera on “Days of our Lives.” He was later replaced in the role by former “General Hospital” co-star Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny Zacchara) after the show let him go due to his abuse of alcohol. During a conversation aired last year, Christopher opened up to former “General Hospital” co-star Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) on his podcast, “State of Mind with Maurice Benard” about his alcohol use. In it, he commented for the first time about his firing from “Days of our Lives” and how things spiraled out from there. “I threw it away. Nobody took it away from me. I dropped it, Okay? Having to walk out the doors under those circumstances? That was like, ‘This is for real, dude.’ And I haven’t been back since. That ship has sailed.” He added, “At some point, it will kill you — and it has. Three times, I have flatlined. And nobody knows that. I’m saying it here for the first time. Three times I have flatlined, and they brought me back. Twice from [alcohol] poisoning, once from withdrawal.” Watch below Christopher’s appearance on “State of Mind” where he discusses his use of alcohol, how it has impacted his life and family, and the revelation of living with bipolar disorder.
