Let’s do it,” she said.  © Robert Voets/CBSKatrina Law plays Jessica Knight in NCIS Elsewhere in the episode, Dr Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen) encouraged Knight to take the job. While she insisted that they could make a long-distance relationship work, he told her: “Take the job. This is for the best. Just go.” It’s safe to say fans weren’t too pleased at the prospect of Knight’s departure, with one person writing on social media: “Genuinely the best episode of the season, maybe even the series, until the very last line—that broke me in ways I can’t describe. I am not losing Jess. I am not losing my comfort girl. Not now, not in a million years.” © Robert Voets/CBSKnight accepted …

It really does.” She also has a tense interaction with her ex Tom Sandoval, who claims she knows him “well enough” to know he’s not “acting” for the cameras, seemingly talking about his storyline this season about his journey to redemption after his fallout with the cast and fans following Scandoval and his secret affair with former costar Rachel Leviss. “I don’t,” responds Madix mid-sob. Sandoval also chokes back tears as he says, “You knew me, Ariana.” “I just want you to stay away from me,” she responds, showing the former couple has yet to make amends a …

Spirited Away, the stage spectacular: ‘Every 20 minutes there’s something that would be another play’s finale’ | Stage

Spirited Away, the stage spectacular: ‘Every 20 minutes there’s something that would be another play’s finale’ | Stage

The dragon stirs to life as Toby Olié plucks it up by its tail. He spirals it through the air and, quick as ripping off a plaster, tears the creature in two. “Even when he was curled up on the floor,” the puppet designer says, undoing another of the dragon’s joints, “he took up too much space.” Olié sticks the body back together, a little shorter but more malleable now, and the tail wriggles back into being. Best known for his work on War Horse, Olié is holding a miniature prototype for Haku, a boy who transforms into an enormous serpentine dragon. Haku is one of the leading characters in Hayao Miyazaki’s exquisite animation Spirited Away, which has been adapted into a major stage production. For the last four years, the creative team have been conjuring, tweaking and perfecting Miyazaki’s world of gods and monsters in three dimensions. The full-sized dragon, for whom Olié took inspiration from fan art as well as close studies of the film, is now more than four metres long, with 4,000 hairs …

Gavin & Stacey ‘Finale’ Set To Air This Christmas

Gavin & Stacey ‘Finale’ Set To Air This Christmas

Gavin & Stacey will return for what’s been billed as its last ever episode this Christmas. In their exciting announcement, the pair were seen holding a script for what was billed as “the finale” of Gavin & Stacey, set to air on Christmas Day. Back in February, Deadline was the first to report that a brand new reunion special for the Bafta-winning sitcom would be airing on the BBC over the festive period. The US media outlet claimed that the “majority of the main cast” will come together over the summer to film a new one-off episode, which would once again be written by James and Ruth, who also star as fan-favourite characters Smithy and Nessa. At the time, the BBC declined to comment when contacted by HuffPost UK. However, Ruth appeared to pour old water on these reports, when she claimed (in what we now know to be a red herring): “It’s, sadly, a rumour. I don’t know what to say. All I can say is, if there was something to say, on that …

‘We Were The Lucky Ones’ Finale Was Hardest to Write: ‘Hope and Despair’

[The following contains spoilers from the finale of We Were The Lucky Ones.] As the first minutes of Hulu‘s We Were The Lucky Ones‘ finale begin, things seem dire for the Kurc family: Halina (Joey King) is facing interrogation upon being arrested by German police, Mila (Hadas Yaron) is struggling to reconnect with her daughter (Belle Swarc) after being forced to hide her in a monastery, and Addy (Logan Lerman) — stuck in Brazil — still can’t know whether his entire family is alive or dead.

I was just like: I have to deliver this for everybody.” The concluding episode of Lipez’s miniseries depicts mostly the time that comes immediately …
