Dex Offers Help
Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) sees Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) in a clearing, she asks for his help and he says ok., and says it actually depends on her.
Kristina doesn’t want to believe that Sonny ordered Dex to kill Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) after he has beaten him senseless.
Kristina knows that her father takes care of business, but he doesn’t hit someone when they are down.
What danger could this old man have been to Sonny or anyone else in his condition? Josslyn Jacks’ (Eden McCoy) allegations obviously shook Kristina up so Dex will want to straighten it out!

General Hospital Spoilers reveal Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) acted on impulse when he practically barged into Police Commissioner Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) office and confessed to having knowledge on Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) that could put him away for life.
Turning him away due to a lack of evidence — and promising their conversation would never leave that room — Anna dismissed Dec and left him feeling jilted and frustrated.
So when she circles back around asking for his cooperation with Federal Agent John ‘Jagger’ Cates (Adam Harrington) in taking Sonny down, he’ll be all for it. But will he be able to ride this out without caving? And will he be able to combat the alliances Sonny has formed with people over the years who continue to have his back?

ESPN personalities Pat McAfee and Stephen A. Smith got in an on-air spat over a confidential project that they had been working on. The fight persisted on until McAfee called Smith a “motherf**ker.”
The argument was born out of differences concerning a project that Smith is producing (via his own production company) and will ultimately air on ESPN.
According to The NY Post, following the confrontation, McAfee has been banned from appearing on First Take by Smith. McAfee was supposed to have weekly Tuesday appearances during the football season, but after the fight, may not be allowed to participate in the program at all.
There have been rumors that the two have settled their differences amicably off-screen, but there are no updates on McAfee’s screen time appearances yet. He seems to be hopeful of his return in the coming season.

According to a recent update to the show’s credits, Sofer appears in the recurring section following perennial list leader James Patrick Stuart (Valentin Cassadine).
Although Sofer is now on recurring status, there is no official indication that she’s about to exit the series anytime soon, despite saying in a Soap Opera Digest interview that she agreed to return for a short period of time after getting a text message from the show’s executive producer, Frank Valentini, who had reached out to see if she’d be interested in reprising the role of Lois so that her character might help Ned (Wally Kurth) with regaining his memory after thinking he was Eddie Maine again.

Chris Brown is claiming the 2024 NBA Celebrity All-Star Game is singing one of his most famous songs: Say Goodbye.
The singer said he received an invitation to appear in the game, but a sponsor nixed those plans. Brown has constantly tried to make amends for a domestic abuse incident in 2009 against his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, and has generated other negative headlines from legal issues.
This time, Brown once again faced the consequences of past actions.
“I was asked by the NBA to play in the all star game this year! Only for them to call later and say they couldn’t do It because of their sponsors like Ruffles,” Brown wrote on his Instagram story, as reported on Complex Sports. “At this point I’m sick of people bothering me and I’m tired of living in the f—ing past.

General Hospital spoilers for next week’s episodes of the hit ABC soap tease it’s more drama and chaos for the people of Port Charles.
After Spencer’s (Nicholas Chavez) goodbye, a blanket of sadness still hovers.
We know that John “Jagger” Cates (Adam Harrington) warned Sonny (Maurice Benard) about the mob shootings, but he didn’t go light on the man he still hates after decades.
As the hunt continues for who is trying to take out Sonny, Anna (Finola Hughes) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) remain on the case. They want justice as much as anyone, especially since Curtis (Donnell Turner) was caught in the crossfire.
Nina (Cynthia Watros) is plotting her next move, likely enough to anger everyone again. It seems as though Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) may be ready for forgiveness, but whether that extends to Nina remains to be seen.

Another week, another casting change on General Hospital.
Lindsay Hartley on Tuesday filled in as Sam McCall while Gh mainstay Kelly Monaco took some personal time. But her absence will be brief; she’s back on Friday.
Hartley has filled in for Monaco before on the ABC sudser.
News of Monaco’s absence comes after it was revealed last week that Nicole Paggi will be taking over for Kirsten Storms as Maxie Jones in Port Charles. Storms will be out for a few days.
And a day after the Daytime Emmys aired in December, fans discovered that first-time Emmy winner Eden McCoy was Mia as character Josslyn Jacks; someone else was appearing in her place.

As far as televised national anthems are concerned, we’ve certainly seen a wide range of performances over the past few decades, haven’t we? From Whitney Houston’s triumphant rendition at the 1991 Super Bowl to Roseanne Barr’s bastardization of the gift of sound at a 1990 Padres game, it’s easy to feel like we’ve heard it all at this point.

A-listers from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Kawhi Leonard have shown up to see the Buffaloes run the field, and the star power is poised to continue as the team takes on UCLA at the already sold-out Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena on Saturday.

The only thing more extra than a surprise birthday party might be a surprise birthday party live on cable TV – and that’s what Chris Cuomo got to celebrate his 53rd.
“Cuomo” was setting up to take viewer phone calls on Wednesday night when producer Alexandra “Dusty” Cohen stopped the host cold:
“You’ve got to listen to me – this is important. It’s your birthday, and we’re not taking calls. You’re just gonna listen to me and be quiet,” she said, basically asking the impossible of the talkative NewsNation anchor. “We put something together for you because we love you. I love you. A lot of people love you. … Be quiet and take a look.”
The first face onscreen belonged to Bill O’Reilly, Cuomo’s longtime friend – and one of the former CNN anchor’s many close media pals with whom he doesn’t share political views.

After its $2 billion-plus agreement to sell Simon & Schuster fell apart last October, Paramount Global has found a new buyer for the book publishing giant at a slightly discounted all-cash price point of $1.62 billion.
Private equity firm Kkr has entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of Simon & Schuster, the companies said August 7. In opting to sell to a buyer not affiliated with the “Big Five” group of publishers — which includes prior suitor Penguin Random House along with HarperCollins, Hachette Book Group and Macmillan — Paramount appears to think this is the deal that can finally clear regulatory approval.
“We see a compelling opportunity to help Simon & Schuster become an even stronger partner to literary talent by investing in the expansion of the company’s capabilities and distribution networks,” stated Richard Sarnoff, chairman of media at Kkr.

“Mama, there goes that man!”
That signature tagline will no longer be heard on ESPN’s NBA broadcasts as longtime announcer Mark Jackson joins the ranks of on air talent laid off of late by the network. Almost exactly a month ago, Jackson’s broadcast partner (and former coach) Jeff Van Gundy was among the 20-odd boldfaced names let go by the network. Since then, speculation has abounded about Jackson’s fate. The move came as a surprise to Jackson, however.
“This morning, unexpectedly, I was informed that my services were no longer needed at ESPN,” Jackson wrote on social media this evening. “Although shocked and dismayed with the suddenness of it all, I would like to thank ESPN and all the staff of the NBA ESPN crew for allowing me to be a part of the organization for the past 15+ years.”
Jackson confirmed his departure with Peter Vecsey earlier today.

A Fox News production crew dug deep Friday for left-leaning media reaction to the news that Hunter Biden’s plea deal with prosecutors was put on hold.
What it found was no surprise, unless ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is on your list of experts on the workings of American government.
Smith, as to not disappoint as he was featured among a group of political reporters, anchors and pundits in a segment “The Five” rolled out, served up a signature dish of Stephen A. spice, falling in line near the front of the pack after only U.S. Rep Eric Swalwell and his comments to CNN, which were highlighted by the California congressman saying Hunter Biden is “trying to take responsibility.”
“The Republicans in the House want to be in an uproar,” Smith said as the “The Five” montage cuts= to the “First Take” host, who for this clip was...

“We are definitely talking to Shannon Sharpe,” Smith said. “The conversations are official, the reports have not been misnomers or misreports or anything like that.
