Are Love During Lockup newcomers Andrew and Candice still together or have they already cut ties? It looked promising but that does not always mean much when one person is released from prison. So, where do they currently stand? Keep reading for more details.
Love During Lockup Spoiler: Andrew & Candice Still Together?
A new season of Love During Lockup began on Friday, April 19th and that means a bunch of new inmates and their outside loves. One couple is Andrew and Candice with the latter being incarcerated. Both have previously been married so they clearly have no fear of commitment. Yet, as many men do on these shows (and sometimes women), Andrew is preparing to set Candice up for her release. Not only is he getting them an apartment so they can start their lives together but he is getting her a truck. That is never a good idea as...

Exclusive: The story of a woman who was accused of murder after entering into a suicide pact with her terminally ill husband is being adapted for the screen in the UK.
Corestar Media has acquired the dramatic rights to Mavis Eccleston’s story, who took the agonizing decision to end her life alongside husband of six decades Dennis, who was in terrible pain from cancer.
The feature, Goodnight Darling, will follow how the 79-year-old Mavis was arrested and tried for murder, only to be unanimously found not guilty, and then began a campaign with her family to change the law to allow people to take the choice of assisted dying.

We have good news and bad news for fans of PBS’s Grantchester. The good news is that the British mystery drama has been renewed for a ninth season. The bad news is that the upcoming season will be the last for Tom Brittney, who has played crime-solving vicar Will Davenport since season 4.

It’s only been a few weeks since Grantchester Season 8 premiered on PBS, but the show’s cast is already looking ahead to season 9.

The actors testing for the roles of Clark Kent and Lois Lane in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman: Legacy were revealed earlier this month, and a new report from THR has shed a little more light on what’s going down with the screen tests.
The Superman: Legacy screen tests were held last weekend, and sources told THR that those involved were split into predetermined pairs: Nicholas Hoult and Rachel Brosnahan, Tom Brittney and Phoebe Dynevor, and David Corenswet and Emmy Mackey. Several scenes were filmed with the actors in makeup and wardrobe as Clark Kent and the actresses as Lois Lane. The next screen test focused on Superman, with Hoult, Brittney, and Corenswet in full costume. The report notes that Mackey was brought in to play Lois Lane opposite each actor but cautions that this doesn’t necessarily mean that she’s the front-runner for Lane.

With The Flash not proving to be the box office savior Warner Bros. was anticipating, the pressure on new DC Studios’ heads James Gunn and Peter Safran has increased exponentially.
And that, in turn, means increased weight on Superman: Legacy, the inaugural movie from Gunn and Safran. And it may not get any weightier than casting the right actor to play Clark Kent/Superman and his romantic and professional foil, Lois Lane.
Gunn, who is writing and directing the feature, held screen tests the weekend of June 17 on the Warners lot in Burbank, and the process has been kept in a lead-lined box as Gunn shows the assembled cuts to a deciding committee of executives, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav among them. Despite the secrecy, some details have emerged, even as the final choice has not.

The search for Kal-El, the last son of Krypton, commonly known in these parts as Superman, is On!
Deadline has reported that DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran are clearing their calendars for screen tests for a little over a week from now. Among the rumored names in the mix for the role of The Big Blue Boy Scout are Nicholas Hoult, last seen in the horror-comedy “Renfield,” David Corenswet, best known for the indie horror pic “Pearl” and HBO series “We Own This City,” and Tom Brittney, a lead on the series “Grantchester.”
Hoult and Brittney are both British. Corenswet is the only one from the good ol’ U.S.A. (born in Philly.) In the old days, Superman stood for “truth, justice, and the American way.” Coren also sounds a lot like “corn,” and the Kents do live in Smallville.

Brittney Griner has been sentenced to nine years in prison after a Russian court convicted the WNBA star on drug charges, stemming from her February arrest at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport. On Aug. 4, the court found Griner guilty of drug possession and smuggling and also found that she committed the crime deliberately. In addition to the nine-year sentencing, she received a 1 million ruble fine for conscious drug smuggling and possession. The decision was announced shortly after closing arguments, during which Russian prosecutors asked for Griner to get nine and a half years in prison on the cannabis possession charges. In February, Brittney...
