Friday Night SmackDown has been a mainstay in television entertainment and will now become an exclusive offering on NBCUniversal. It consistently ranks as one of the highest-rated shows on Friday nights among the coveted 18-49 demographic. The show boasts a star-studded roster featuring WWE Superstars like John Cena, Roman Reigns, Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, and Rey Mysterio.

Shock, Forgiveness, and Retribution Collide in Philip’s Unexpected Return

In an unforeseen twist, Chloe finds herself fainting at the sight of Philip, who she believed was dead. Her shock turns to horror when she learns Philip faked his own death in a scheme to frame Brady and distance him from her. Philip unveils a transformed self, claiming to have received mental health treatment to move past his former jealous tendencies.

John-Paul Lavoisier, who plays Philip, described the scene in Soap Opera Digest as emotionally taxing, admitting the vulnerability and weakness his character feels during the confessions to Chloe and Brady.

Contrary to Kate’s advice, Philip returns to Salem, driven by a desire to attend his father’s funeral and to reconnect with Chloe. Prepared to face the consequences, Philip shows a degree of remorse, expressing gratitude for any forgiveness that may come his way.

When Philip and Brady finally cross paths, Brady initially greets him warmly, relieved that Philip is, in fact, alive. However, the atmosphere quickly changes. Actor Eric Martsolf, who portrays Brady, reveals that Brady’s attitude takes a sharp turn upon discovering Philip’s betrayal.

In a heated exchange, Philip comes clean about his actions, leading to a physical confrontation. Brady punches Philip, stating that his actions were inexcusable, despite Philip’s plea for understanding and forgiveness on the grounds of mental health issues.

Though acknowledging mental health as a crucial issue, Brady prepares to involve law enforcement. The question remains: Will Chloe intervene to prevent Philip’s arrest?

In a series of emotionally charged scenes, the characters find themselves caught in a web of shock, forgiveness, and the inevitable reckoning of past deeds.

Deadline was the first to break the casting news.

Following a captivating first season that delved into the life of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, “Monster” is shifting gears to explore the chilling story of the Menendez brothers. These siblings, who were convicted in 1996 for the murder of their parents, claimed their actions were driven by years of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The case, which continues to evolve in real-time, recently took an unexpected twist when the Menendez brothers sought a new hearing based on allegations made by former Menudo band member, Roy Rosselló, against José Menendez.

As the extent of the Menendez brothers’ lives that will be featured in Season 2 remains a mystery, Netflix is simultaneously planning a documentary feature on the duo for a more comprehensive view of their lives and crimes. This dual narrative approach sets an interesting stage for the upcoming season.

The casting of Nicholas Chavez as Lyle Menendez is an inspired choice. A relative newcomer, Chavez quickly made a name for himself in the acting world with his riveting portrayal of the troubled Spencer Cassadine in the long-standing soap opera “General Hospital”. His excellent work in the show earned him a Daytime Emmy® for Outstanding Younger Performer in a Daytime Drama and the 2021 Soap Hub Award for Favorite Newcomer. In 2023, he was also nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor. His rise to prominence was further highlighted when People Magazine featured him in their “People’s Ones to Watch” section in 2022.

Chavez, a Houston-born actor who grew up primarily in Denver, has always been drawn to performing. After spending some time at the Rutgers performing arts program, he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue acting full time. This dedication is clearly paying off as he navigates his way through the industry, recently appearing as Jason in the Tubi original film “Crushed”. Off-screen, Chavez enjoys playing chess and traveling, showcasing his diverse interests beyond acting.

Cooper Koch, who will be playing Erik Menendez, has also started making waves in the industry. Koch’s previous work includes a role in Season 1 of the Starz drama “Power Book II: Ghost,” and horror films “Swallowed” and “They/Them”.

Netflix and Murphy’s representatives have refrained from commenting on the casting, but it’s understood that the selections were finalized before the writer’s strike. Murphy, the co-creator of “American Horror Story,” hasn’t been involved in any project activities since the walkout. Despite this, the anticipation for “Monster” Season 2 continues to build, promising viewers a season that is as enthralling as it is chilling.

Courtroom Shock: Drew Faces Harsher Fate Than Expected #LockHimUp

In an unexpected turn of events on General Hospital, Drew’s decision to shoulder the insider trading charges he shares with Carly leads to severe unintended consequences. With a calm demeanor, Drew steps into the court, ready to plead guilty, with the expectation of serving a six-month term at the relatively hospitable Spring Ridge, thanks to a plea deal arranged by his attorney, Zeke.

Drew enters the courtroom with mixed feelings. Although the thought of being separated from Carly and his daughter, Scout, weighs heavily on him, he finds comfort in the fact that he is doing the right thing. Zeke, his legal counsel, guides him through the courtroom proceedings and assures him that the plea deal is sound and likely to be approved by the judge.

However, the courtroom scenario takes an unexpected turn. The day’s proceedings become tense as the judge, appearing to be in a foul mood, decides to set an example with Drew’s case. Despite Drew’s military background and status as an ex-Navy SEAL, the judge rules in favor of a harsher penalty than anticipated. Drew is sentenced to two years in the high-security Pentonville prison, a significant deviation from the initial six months at Spring Ridge. The verdict shocks Drew, and the judge defends his decision, citing Drew’s military background and the seriousness of his offenses.

Carly, unlike Drew, is not lost for words. As Drew attempts to calm her down to avoid a contempt charge, Carly urges him to reconsider his plea, fearing the long-term separation from him and he from his daughter. However, the judge’s decision is final, and despite the pleas, Drew has no choice but to accept his fate.
