Like the familiar faces on soap operas or warm voices on a favorite radio show, TODAY co-hosts are cozy parts of many people’s mornings. It would be awful if Hoda Kotb left the show, especially since she and Savannah Guthrie chat like BFFs in every episode. Many never want to see this lovely dream team go anywhere.

While viewers know Guthrie well thanks to the fact that she has been a co-host since 2012, there have been several moments when they’ve wondered where she is. Is she still joining Kotb onscreen?

Why wasn’t Savannah Guthrie on TODAY?

There have been several times when Guthrie didn’t co-host TODAY, which made fans worry she was leaving or that something terrible happened. Viewers will remember when Al Roker took two months off because of his health. Good news for viewers (and an inspiring reminder in general): Guthrie sometimes takes time away from the show so she can hang out with her family and relax.

When fans were concerned that she didn’t co-host the episode on June 20th, 2024, Kotb said Guthrie was “taking some well-deserved time off,” according to NBC.com. Guthrie did the same thing back in April when she exited before an episode wrapped up. As Us Weekly reported, Kotb said, “Savannah left a little early today to get her weekend started.”

Hosting a morning show is no easy feat and requires a lot of discipline. It’s nice to hear that Guthrie makes room in her schedule for some chill time. Of course, since she’s a mom of two kids named Charley and Vale, sometimes another anchor takes her place on TODAY so she can be there for her little ones. In September 2023, The New York Post reported that she only hosted part of an episode because she brought her kids to their first day back at school.

Considering Guthrie takes care of herself and knows when she needs to take a break from TODAY, it’s no wonder she has talked about juggling the various parts of her life. She shared with Refinery 29 that her day starts at 3:00a.m. and she’s at work at 5:30a.m. (which might make that 9:00a.m. start time for regular jobs feel a little more pleasant). In an interview with E! News in 2018, she said she’s uncertain “balance really exists.” While she’s at work a lot more than usual sometimes, she said, “There are times where it’s a little bit lighter and it’s all about family.”

Even though she works a lot (and TODAY fans wouldn’t want it any other way), Guthrie makes sure to find some time for travel. In February 2024, Us Weekly reported that Guthrie and co-host Jenna Bush Hager went to Florida with their kids. And, according to TODAY, when Guthrie was reporting on the 2024 Olympics in Paris, she told her children they could join her. Can any parent compete with that?!

From a microwave trick to anxiety-inducing bugs in the pantry, there is no shortage of things that can go wrong in the kitchen. Usually you can count on your coffee maker to run smoothly… but not always.

TikTok user @emmarthompsonn was frustrated when she turned on her Nespresso… and the machine just kept going. Instead of making the perfect amount of coffee (enough for one cup… or the first cup of the day if you drink caffeine like Lorelai Gilmore), the Nepresso went rogue and filled up another half a cup.

Emma was, naturally, upset since the machine cost $150 and yelled at it, which was definitely the right reaction. So, what do you do when your Nespresso has a mind of its own and has decided to mess with you and ruin your day before it’s even started? Do you hope a new Nespresso works better while mourning the lower amount in your bank account? Do you buy another type of coffee machine (same problem)? What about going to a coffee shop every morning and at least knowing that a hot cup is waiting for you, although, again, that adds up quickly? There’s no great answer here.

Thankfully, fellow coffee lovers came to the comment section to help out because everyone agrees this is a terrible and unfair problem. While some thought she had it on the declare or cleaning setting, TikTok user @coletaneademoments might have saved the day with the most logical explanation: if you use a pod that isn’t the Nespresso brand, it won’t work properly. Emma replied “That makes so much sense, it’s only my Starbucks ones that do it.”

According to the Nespresso website, this specific problem would be called “leakage or unusual coffee flow.” The brand says the water tank could be in poor shape or not in the right spot. Since, according to Statista.com, 65.8% of people answering a survey said they make coffee themselves vs. buying it, it’s definitely important to find a machine that doesn’t go wild.

It sounds like Emma never did get her machine to work properly, but things worked out for her in the end. She shared a TikTok a little while later promoting Cometeer Coffee and said “so apparently you can make a good coffee at home now without a machine.” Everyone deserves the peace of mind that they can enjoy their morning brew without worrying about a machine taking over their kitchen.

There was no way the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon wouldn’t be overwhelmingly popular. While complaints and questions about GOT series finale still haunt viewers, a deep dive into House Targaryen promises something different. The prequel is a slow-burn if there ever has been one, leading to a captivating story about generational trauma.

And after the anticlimactic conclusion of season 2, there are still a lot of questions left to be answered. Will Nettles will make an appearance? Will this Dance of the Dragons ever actually begin? And exactly how many seasons does the series have in the works?

Will there be a House of the Dragon season 3?

On June 13th, 2024, Variety reported that House of the Dragon will have a third season. Given the immense popularity of the first season and viewership of the second, it’s not a surprise that Max greenlit the series for another go-round. Renewed interest in the show has also given rise to the upcoming series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which will be adapted from George R.R. Martin’s book of the same name and cover Ser Duncan the Tall. Season 3 of House of the Dragon was a forgone conclusion.

In an interview with TechRadar, House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal said the writing team was focused on season 3 even before HBO granted it a season 3 renewal. Condal said “We know where the story ends,” and continued that having a road map of the plot can help make your storylines richer.

As House of the Dragon heads into production or its third season, the stakes are high. It is now common knowledge that the sophomore season didn’t go as planned — for fans or creatives. The season was shaved down to only 8 episodes and the highly anticipated Battle of the Gullet has yet to see the light of day (per Entertainment Weekly). Condal claimed that they wanted to do the battle right, but it has come at the expense of season 2. Despite these setbacks, season 3 is imminent, as well as the conclusion of the series.

According to Variety, Condal announced that House of the Dragon would conclude after 4 seasons. This news may be a relief for those still wounded by the finale of Game of Thrones. Dragging out a story longer than necessary never helped anyone. It remains to be seen if House of the Dragon will meet the same fate.

Though half the span of its predecessor, 4 seasons still seems like a long time to drag out the Dance of the Dragons — especially when Daemon (Matt Smith) wasted an entire season away from the rest of the cast. Regardless, perhaps this is an opportunity to right the sins of the past and give fans the finale they have always wanted. The first 2 seasons of House of the Dragon are currently streaming on Max.

Without Jim Henson, countless kids would have to live without the pure happiness of watching the hilarious Miss Piggy and the super likable Kermit the Frog interact, and Sesame Street wouldn’t exist. The world mourned Henson’s passing thanks to the meaningful characters he created, as well as his compassionate personality.

Whether children watch Sesame Street on YouTube or on TV, or adults watch The Happytime Murders, people of all ages are huge fans of Henson’s endearing Muppets. Henson’s death was a massive loss for his fans and his loved ones, and people will always remember his life and work.

How did Jim Henson pass away?

According to People, Henson passed away after contracting toxic shock syndrome. Hearing about what happened before his death is upsetting, especially when fans remember how kind he was. When Henson was interviewed on the The Arsenio Hall Show in May 1990, he didn’t feel well. It turned out that he had been infected with bacteria, which made it hard for him to keep traveling and working, although he did his best to keep going. He died after spending time at New York Presbyterian Hospital when a bacteria called streptococcus pyogenes caused toxic shock syndrome.

As Entertainment Weekly reported in 1990, Henson’s lungs were affected by the bacteria, and it doesn’t sound like there was any way to save him. He was only 53 years old. Henson talked about feeling exhausted and also said he had come down with a cold, but things were much worse than that. This is a sobering reminder that people can get very sick, very fast, and that sometimes, tragically, there’s no coming back from it.

I remember being terrified of toxic shock syndrome as a kid growing up in the ’90s, and as the Cleveland Clinic explained, this can definitely happen when using tampons. But it’s also possible for someone to get this disease when one of their body parts gets infected. The Cleveland Clinic noted that if someone can get help, it’s possible to survive it. Sadly, that didn’t happen here.

Since Henson brought joy to so many kids (and adults), it’s terrible to imagine what it was like for him at the end. Fans will always have Kermit, Miss Piggy, and all the other heartwarming characters that Henson shared with the world.

Blind dates can be awkward, dating apps aren’t for everyone, and the idea of getting engaged without laying eyes on someone first is, well, kind of weird. But going on a luxury vacation? Sign me up. I, along with many other Love is Blind: UK fans, love watching the vacation portion of this reality series, and I want to know more about where they traveled in season 1.

Every season of the Netflix franchise has interesting contestants, couples who actually get married (and stay married), and the chance for the new pairs to get to know each other in person in the sunshine. Engaged couples on the OG Love is Blind show traveled to Playa del Carmen, Cancun, and Malibu, but what about the Love is Blind: UK cast members?

Where is Angsana Corfu, the Love is Blind: UK vacation spot?

Angsana Corfu is a fancy hotel located in Corfu, Greece, and anyone who stays there gets to enjoy the gorgeous Ionian Sea. According to the hotel’s website, guests can choose from villas, suites, and rooms. Besides getting some major beach time in, guests can go to the hotel’s spa and also enjoy the many restaurants on site.

Angsana Corfu is truly a dream, with an infinity pool that is 1000 sqm and some seriously calming and aesthetically pleasing rooms. No one would complain about staying here, that’s for sure.

While every Love is Blind cast trip involves meals on the beach, pool time, and some group meet-ups to amp up the conflict, the Love is Blind: UK Corfu vacation featured a particularly memorable moment. As The Sun noted, people were stunned when Catherine Richards said she and everyone’s obsession Freddie Powell slept together “twice” when they got to their Corfu hotel. Once again, reality fans are unfairly judging cast members for something that really isn’t a big deal.

Love is Blind: UK fans might not anticipate a possible wedding just weeks after staying at Angsana Corfu. But they can at least enjoy all the good vacay vibes without the awkwardness of meeting someone IRL and realizing they’re different than they seemed when chatting through a wall.

The Bear can make fans cry, laugh, and feel inspired in a single scene, so it’s no wonder that everyone found it tough to be patient for season 3. The latest episodes proved the story of Carmy Berzatto’s (Jeremy Allen White) dream of running a restaurant of his own is still fascinating (and I think it’s a crime that season 4 isn’t out already).

However, some might say that The Bear season 3 wasn’t the strongest season, and after reflecting on these 10 episodes, I can say some episodes were better than others. Here’s my ranking of the third season.

10. Episode 9: “Apologies”

Instead of ramping up the action before the season 3 finale, episode 9 just isn’t all that riveting. The most memorable thing that happens is that the Faks (still some of the best characters on the show) tell Claire Dunlap (Molly Gordon) that Carmy is sorry. But since Carmy isn’t the one who apologizes, so this isn’t as great a scene as it could be. Claire and Carmy are both too stubborn to talk to each other, and I just want to tell them to make up already and stop making everyone else so miserable.

9. Episode 10: “Forever”

The first and last episodes of a season need to set up the action, and then tie everything up (while still leaving some compelling threads for the next season, of course). After a frustrating season 3 finale, I hope The Bear season 4 looks different, because I’m still upset that so many issues didn’t get resolved. Instead of letting Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri) move on to a new job or signing her contract at The Bear, she still thinks about her life choices. And while everyone should think before they speak or act (especially these days), fans don’t want to watch characters sitting around and thinking instead of springing into action.

8. Episode 2: “Next”

“Next” explains that Carmy has “non-negotiables” for the restaurant, which are the bane of everyone’s existence in every The Bear season 3 episode. Since these are a necessary part of his character arc this season, and demonstrate that Carmy’s putting too much pressure on himself, this isn’t a terrible episode. But it’s also hard to watch him boss the others around constantly, so it’s not the most enjoyable to watch, either.

7. Episode 8: Violet

The most exciting storylines in “Violet” include Josh Hartnett’s deft cameo as Tiffany Jerimovich’s (Gillian Jacobs) adorably kind fiancé, Frank, and Sydney deciding to leave her supportive dad (actor and filmmaking pioneer Robert Townsend) and get her own place. While these are cool developments, and it’s gratifying to see Sydney making moves, these small moments aren’t enough to make a more compelling episode. Sydney’s arc has always focused on her family, but it would be nice to see more of her personal life. Seeing her in a tiny apartment just isn’t that much fun.

6. Episode 6: “Doors”

Richie Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Carmy have a massive fight in this episode, which proves to Sydney that if she’s going to stick around, she’ll have to deal with this exhausting dynamic more and more (poor Sydney). While a blow-up feels inevitable, “Doors” isn’t enjoyable to watch, and doesn’t have enough drama to really pull the viewer in. Still, the characters have never really dealt with their conflict, so this is still a worthy and important plot point.

5. Episode 7: “Legacy”

As the episode title suggests, Carmy reflects on how he can leave his mark on the industry here. Since The Bear season 3 focuses on him so much, this could be considered one of the season’s themes. But since not much else happens here, this episode is pretty middle of the road, which is why it’s ranked as number five.

4. Episode 5: “Children”

While it might not be the episode that everyone talks about from season 3, “Children” has the biggest plot point of the season: Chef Terry (the incredible Olivia Colman), who has acted as a kind of mentor and aspirational figure for several members of the Bear squad, is going to shut down her beautiful and inspiring restaurant, Ever. This sends everyone, including Carmy, into a tailspin, as it proves that fine dining might be over in the city of Chicago. This episode also hints at money trouble to come, as fans meet Nicholas “The Computer” Marshall (Brian Koppelman), who will later tell Uncle Jimmy (Oliver Platt) that the restaurant can’t stay open much longer.

3. Episode 6: “Napkins”

On the one hand, the sixth episode about Tina Marrero (Liza Colón-Zayas) doesn’t move the overall plot forward. On the other hand, Tina is such a compelling and well-drawn character, and Colón-Zayas’s performance is so richly detailed and emotive that it was past time that fans learned how Tina found her way to The Beef, so this is my third favorite episode of the third season. Also notable, this semi-capsule episode was directed by none other than Ayo Edibiri, whose talent seemingly knows no bounds. Mikey Berzatto (Jon Bernthal) treats Tina with compassion and understanding in one stand-out scene. And theough this episode, The Bear continues to flesh out Mikey’s arc and treat him like a real human being, instead of a statistic or an after-school special.

2. Episode 1: “Tomorrow”

The Bear season 3 premiere is a perfect introduction to Carmy’s vision for his new restaurant. There are a lot of great montages here — both gorgeously shot and touching footage of Chicago food workers, and character montages that show the hard work Carmy has put in throughout his various jobs, along with the pain that he still carries around of never feeling good enough. It’s hard to watch this episode and not want to give Carmy a big hug, especially after knowing that he’s going to treat everyone so badly throughout the whole season.

1. Episode 8: “Ice Chips”

While my all-time fave The Bear episode is still season 2’s” Forks,” I have to give The Bear season 3, episode 8, “Ice Chips” a round of applause for covering trauma, family history, and the unique experience of giving birth all in one go. (Also, an episode with Jamie Lee Curtis can’t be anything short of amazing.) I especially appreciate this episode because, unlike unrealistic depictions in the movies, Sugar’s (Abby Elliott) labor actually takes a fairly long time. Watching Sugar balance her excitement and terror about the way her life is about to change with her complex feelings about her mom is the best part of The Bear season 3.

If there was an Olympic medal for performance as a complicated celebrity who is likable yet has a strange personal life, Tom Cruise would win every single one. He also deserves some major credit for being the talk of the end of the 2024 Olympics.

While of course everyone wants to celebrate the achievements of the athletes, the 2024 Olympics opening and closing ceremonies are always highlights. 2024’s featured a bunch of awesome performances from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, H.E.R., Phoenix, Yseult, and Billie Eilish. But how was the Mission Impossible and Top Gun actor included, and why was he there?

Why was Tom Cruise at the 2024 Olympics closing ceremony?

Cruise did an amazing stunt at the 2024 Olympics closing ceremony to represent the fact that the 2028 Olympics will be in Los Angeles, according to BBC. Cruise rappelled from high above into the Stade de France in Paris. After looking happy that he pulled it off (that must have been stressful!), he walked into the massive crowd with the Olympic flag in his hands, which he took from the hands of GOAT Simone Biles and Karen Bass, mayor of Los Angeles.

Cruise’s stunt was some real risky business, but after rappelling himself into the vanilla sky, he had all the right moves and it was clear that even with eyes wide shut, spectators could tell he was going to be just fine.(Sorry, I’ll stop now). The second part of Cruise’s 2024 Olympics closing ceremony appearance involved a video of him skydiving near the Hollywood sign. He also got on a motorcycle and then a plane to show he was leaving Paris and going to the U.S. It was definitely cool to watch, and a smart and memorable way to end what was one of the most thrilling Olympics ever. Cruise was like a real-life Iron Man (nevermind, he didn’t get that part).

The actor is a pro, and likely put a lot of hard work into his Olympics stunt, just like he does for every movie he appears in. Simon Pegg told CBS News back in ‘23 that it was wild watching one particular stunt that Cruise did for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Pegg said Cruise “trains hard” and “It’s a well-oiled machine” but “it’s nerve-wracking.”

According to USA Today, people first heard about Cruise’s stunt about a week ago. Many people who watched it live (or saw a clip afterward… it’s okay, everyone is busy!) was definitely impressed.

Well, maybe not everyone. Since no one can agree on anything, some people thought this was awesome and others said it was “predictable,” according to The Independent. It’s true that if movie fans thought of an actor who would do a stunt at the closing ceremony, they would likely think of Cruise. But since most would agree that it’s better to watch Cruise do stunts than to hear about his creepy Scientology beliefs, he can swing from the sky anytime. Chances are that even those who didn’t enjoy this viral moment will still rush to the theater when Top Gun 3 is released.

Adult life requires a lot of balancing, from work to family, friendship, chores, cooking, and maybe finding time for some hobbies. Add in trying to keep up with the latest TV and movie releases and sometimes it’s easy to miss something… even the sequel to a beloved movie that everyone has been hoping for. Pixar fans have wanted to see The Incredibles 3 for a while now, but was the movie released in 2023?

The Incredibles follows a charming superhero family and has a great voice cast including Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson, and Craig T. Nelson. Everyone wants to catch up with these characters again… so let’s find out the release date for The Incredibles 3.

Did The Incredibles 3 come out in 2023?

The Incredibles 3 didn’t have a 2023 release date (phew). The movie was announced at D23 Fan Expo in August 2024, according to USA Today. Pete Docter, the chief creative office of Pixar who also directed beloved Pixar movies such as Soul and Inside Out, shared the exciting news at the event.

While other Pixar movies should get sequels, at least fans will see more of the Parr family in the future. Unfortunately, there isn’t a release date as of yet, so everyone will have to wait to get their fave movie snacks and settle in for another great story. It’s possible to guess what the release date could be based on other Pixar films. Inside Out 2, for instance, was announced in September 2022 and came to theaters in June 2024, according to Yahoo!. The Incredibles 3 could maybe be released in 2026, but no one really knows.

Fans can rest assured that Brad Bird, who directed The Incredibles and The Incredibles 2, is coming back, so the third movie is sure to be just as high-quality as the others. The Incredibles was one of the best Pixar movies that came out in the 2000s thanks to its memorable characters, sly humor, and kid-friendly action. There’s no doubt that another story about the Parr family will be worth heading to the movie theater for… whenever that exciting day is.

Simone Biles absolutely crushed it at the 2024 Olympics. However, despite the medal haul she had a tough time at the epic event and, at the closing ceremony appeared to be wearing a medical boot.

While she’s one of the most incredible female gymnasts, Biles talks to her fans like they’re her friends and always opens up about what she’s going through. Since she’s known as such a genuine person (who just happens to be an awe-inspiring athlete capable of some feats others can only dream of), fans want to know everything about her, including whether she’s injured.

Did Simone Biles hurt her leg at the 2024 Olympics?

While cheering Biles on at the 2024 Olympics as she won four medals (yay!), people saw she had a boot on. According to NBC, her calf began hurting when she was warming up on July 28th, 2024. She had tape on her ankle and calf and as fans know, still blew everyone away during her various events. Since she had this “minor injury,” she wore a boot to make sure it didn’t get any worse. There have been other injuries at the games this year, as Colin Jost hurt himself surfing while covering the sport in Tahiti.

Fans are of course glad that Biles isn’t seriously hurt, but it’s hard not to worry about the physical toll of her career. While some athletes might plan for a nice long break after the Olympics, which is intense and exhausting (to say the least!), Biles is going on her “Gold Over America Tour” in fall 2024. She mentioned that she’s taking time to relax and make sure she’ll be in fine form for her tour (which fans definitely don’t doubt). According to NBC.com, the gymnast explained that “elite athletes are pretty tough” and added “through pain or pleasure, we’re ready for whatever.”

This isn’t the first time that Biles has hurt herself… and it might not be the last considering how rough gymnastics can be. In an interview with The Daily Mail in 2019, she talked about having had a broken rib, a terrible toe injury, and having partially torn her calf more than once. She said her body “is screaming and yelling at me” and that she feels pain as soon as she opens her eyes in the morning.

Biles is beloved for being honest about her mental health struggles, and if she were seriously injured, she would have likely admitted it. She is aware of her massive platform and raised awareness of mental health in sports when she decided not to be part of the Tokyo Olympic Games. She told Good Housekeeping in 2022 that she had to look after herself “rather just go out there and do what the world wants us to do and potentially injuring yourself.” She added, “I had to put myself above all else.”

Of course, if any athlete can handle a packed schedule and get over a calf injury, we’d say it was Biles.

When five actors have played the same character, fans are going to talk… and talk… and talk about whether that character will be recast. This has always been the story with Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless.

Tracker and This Is Us star Justin Hartley, as well as Dane West, Michael Muhney, and Chris Engen have all portrayed Adam. Mark Grossman was cast for the role in 2019. His version of the character has been a hit with fans (let’s be honest, he’s adorable), and now everyone is asking (yet again) if Grossman is leaving Y&R.

Has Mark Grossman left The Young and the Restless?

Grossman didn’t leave The Young and the Restless and viewers can continue to cheer his character on. For the past few years, a rumor has spread saying that his exit is approaching. According to a forum on Soaps, viewers began chatting about the possibility of him leaving in 2022. That same year, fans posted on Reddit that his contract on the soap opera was up.

Grossman has continued to star on Y&R, so it’s safe to say he worked out a new deal. There are also no current reports that he’ll stop playing Adam this year or in the future. In early August, he shared two sweet photos with his co-star Melissa Claire Egan, who plays Chelsea Lawson, which proves he’s definitely still employed by the show.

Playing a soap opera character may be the same as other TV and movie characters in some ways — from needing to remember dialogue to diving deep into emotions — but with so many episodes, actors on soaps can lean into their character arc even more fully. While a soap wouldn’t be a soap without some sensationalized plotlines, fans have to give the actors credit for how hard they work to portray their fictional counterparts realistically.

In an interview with Soap Opera Digest in February 2024, Grossman talked about how much Adam has grown on the show, and the actor has totally embraced it. He talked about his craft and said he would “make sure that there’s still all that underlying stuff, like wanting to trust people at their word but being skeptical.”

If fans could have all their Young and the Restless dreams come true, Adam and his half-sibling Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) would never leave. Since Adam and Chelsea are still co-parenting Connor (Judah Mackey), Adam is a necessary character. While there’s always a possibility that he could be recast, Grossman’s popularity suggests he’s fine for the time being. What a relief!

As a huge fan of ’90s shows like Charmed and Melrose Place (and all their cheesy counterparts), I’ve happily followed along with the careers of many of the stars. I can’t say that Alyssa Milano has starred in a particularly compelling TV series or movie lately, but maybe that’s because she spends so much time talking about politics.

No one was thrilled when Elon Musk purchased Twitter and renamed it X (and all the problematic things that have happened since, like Musk’s recent letter aimed at advertisers). However, Milano angered a lot of people when she said in a November 2022 episode of The View that Musk could have handed $40 billion over to UNICEF instead of purchasing an entire social media platform. In her own words, she said,

“I’m so annoyed with all of these billionaires — with, like, the exception of a few — but especially Elon Musk. You buy Twitter to destroy it for $40 billion. $40 billion! Elon Musk, imagine if he donated that money to UNICEF. He would change the world. There would be no hunger.”

Some X users are fans of Musk and, naturally, hated what the actress had to say. It’s easy to guess how they vote, but I digress. It’s almost a guarantee that any time Musk faces criticism, his army of fanboys is ready to attack. Some, like @iwanttovote3, pointed out that the star spends a lot of money and could practice what she preaches: “Imagine if Alyssa Milano stopped Botox and coloring her hair and fired her makeup artist.” Because surely all of those things are equal to $40 billion.

X user @LairdOfTheManor called Milano “a C grade actress” and said that Hollywood stars are unnecessary, unlike public servants who have jobs that help people, such as farmers, doctors, and teachers. While, of course, those jobs are necessary, I’m not a fan of the argument that celebrities shouldn’t have political opinions. It’s also totally wrong to say being an actor isn’t a worthy profession, but that’s another issue. (As Joan Didion said, “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”)

First of all, Milano isn’t wrong. Musk has a net worth of over $200 billion, and he could absolutely donate a small chunk of that money to a long list of worthy causes. His charity donations are questionable at best, as according to Business Insider, almost 50% of the money he gave in 2021 and 2022 was somehow connected to his companies, which isn’t great to hear. But does anyone really expect Musk to end world hunger? Given his track record as a businessman and a human being (just think about his relationship history and all those kids he doesn’t seem to actually take care of), I wouldn’t expect him to show compassion anytime soon. Plus, does the world really want the man who created the Cybertruck to try his hand at ending world hunger? No thanks.

Second of all, it is a fair point to suggest Milano has enough money to spread the wealth. According to Celebrity Net Worth, her net worth is estimated around $4 million. While that doesn’t even come close to what Musk has in the bank, it is enough so that she didn’t need to set up a GoFundMe for her children to play sports that one weird time.

But, while some celebrities absolutely should do more to help others (and no, dressing up for a charity dinner doesn’t count), Milano has been a political activist for a while now. X user @BrianDWestman pointed out “She’s been an ambassador for UNICEF for 2 decades” and added, “So her money is where her mouth is.” People reported on many of Milano’s UNICEF trips in 2022. This is an organization that is clearly important to her.

While I don’t think she should ever run for Congress, as Deadline reported she was thinking about in 2021, I don’t have a problem with the Charmed actress speaking her mind about Musk. It was also hilarious when she tweeted that she got rid of her Tesla. While she might have more money than most people, no one can argue her point that billionaires have too much power and not enough compassion.

While some still like to keep up with the Kardashians on their new Hulu series, others know that the real drama is happening on The Bold and the Beautiful. From his up-and-down marriage to Katie (Heather Tom) to his hard work in charge of various businesses, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) has always had a lot going on. Since he’s been a regular character since 2009, it would be a huge loss if he ever exited the soap opera.

Viewers have been apprehensive about Taylor’s place on the soap, and now it’s time to ask whether Bill Spencer has left. While there are a lot of other interesting characters to follow along with, Bill is just so easy to like, and no one wants him to go anywhere.

Did Bill Spencer leave The Bold and the Beautiful?

According to Sportskeeda, Don Diamont hasn’t said it’s time for him to exit the soap opera, and Bill Spencer is still on The Bold and the Beautiful. But since there have been some massive changes in his life, viewers are uncertain about exactly how safe he is on the show.

Besides finally being in touch with Luna (Lisa Yamada), his daughter, Bill’s love life has never been more complicated. While he claims he cares about Katie more than anyone else, he’s also been involved with Poppy Nozawa (Romy Park). Of course, fans don’t mind a good old-fashioned love triangle, and Bill should stay on The Bold and the Beautiful so this messy situation can be fully worked out.

Diamond has played not one but two soap opera hunks, but it sounds like he didn’t love the end of his time as Brad Carlton on The Young and the Restless. He told Thetvwatercooler.com he “hadn’t been happy” at Y&R “story-wise” and then he was let go. Things are working out much better for the actor now. Fans love seeing what’s happening in Bill’s dramatic universe and he has sounded full of enthusiasm in interviews about his character.

While it would be awful if other fan favorites like Finn (Tanner Novlan) left, Bill’s absence would be especially upsetting because he’s just so relatable. He tries hard to be kind but can’t help but make mistakes, and he’s a refreshing reminder that even soap opera characters can feel like real people sometimes (as long as fans ignore all the melodramatic moments that still happen all the time).
