Warning: This post contains spoilers from Thursday’s A Million Little Things. Proceed accordingly.

Congratulations, we guess?

Thursday’s A Million Little Things ended with a huge surprise for both Maggie and the audience. When a doctor requested to speak with the breast-cancer survivor during a scheduled check-up, Maggie feared that he was going to tell her that her disease had returned.

Instead, he informed her that she is pregnant.

The revelation came at the end of an hour that saw Maggie’s return to the United States, as well as her first real interaction with Gary and Darcy as a couple. Real quick, let’s cover the basics:

* The episode took place as Europe and the United States were just beginning to become aware of the coronavirus as a very bad illness. So when Maggie’s six-month checkup in England was cancelled — as was Eddie’s “non-essential” pain treatment later in the episode — she said a temporary goodbye to Jamie then flew back to Boston to have the appointment take place there.

* Maggie arrived at Delilah’s and realized that Gary and Darcy were living there while Delilah was in France. Things were a little awkward among the three of them until Maggie slipped and said something that led Darcy to realize that Gary had been consulting with Maggie about Darcy’s post-traumatic stress disorder. Darcy was mad but didn’t ask him to change his relationship with his ex. “I’m just asking you to realize how much that affects me,” she said.

a-million-little-things-recap-season-3-episode-5-* Another COVID-19 casualty? Rome’s movie. The production lost financing and was shut down before it even got underway — they didn’t even get to have the table read! — and Rome was in a bad place about it until Regina rallied their friends to participate in a table read at Delilah’s house that evening.

* In an attempt to remove temptation from his home, Eddie flushed all of his doctor-prescribed narcotics down the toilet. But then the appointment for him to get a pain-relieving cortisone shot was cancelled, and he wasn’t sure he’d be in any shape to attend Theo’s school production of Oklahoma! that evening. And then he couldn’t get a refill on the prescription, because he’d flushed through two weeks’ worth of the meds, and it’s a controlled substance. So when he and Gary were at Rome’s apartment, Eddie spied some Vicodin there and pocketed it. Then he popped one just before Theo’s show.

* Unbeknownst to Delilah, who now is stuck in Europe for the foreseeable future after her father fell and broke his hip, she and Regina nearly lost the Someday building because of a clerical error made by Katherine’s assistant, Carter. But it turned out that the opposing lawyer, Alan, knew Jon and was the person on the other end of his final phone call, and Jon’s death really affected him. So Alan generously cut Katherine & Co. a break, and they can keep the property.

Phew! Now, back to Maggie’s pregnancy. We hopped on the phone with Allison Miller to talk about her show’s return, that Gary-Maggie-Darcy situation and why Maggie-as-mom isn’t as done a deal as it might seem.

TVLINE | Let’s go back. It’s been a while since fear of a cancer resurgence was a focal point of Maggie’s storyline, but it’s always there, right? I imagine it’s always in the back of her mind.
Yes. It’s always there, and then the reminder of having to get a checkup every six months is always going to be looming, too. So, she’s still very much living in the trauma of going through cancer treatment. The last thing on her mind is pregnancy. It’s just off the table for her, until it’s very much on the table.

TVLINE | We talked a bit last season about when Maggie was defending Delilah from the lactation consultant and how that speech was the first indicator that Maggie was entertaining the idea of being a mom herself at some point in the future. Where do you think she is, mentally, on that front before she gets the news?
I think that Maggie very much wants to be a mother in the future, and the timing of this is impossible. In my interpretation of where Maggie is with her health, she is still doing hormonal treatment, and it would be really dangerous for her and for the baby. So, it’s putting her in such a difficult position. Because I think in another scenario, where she hadn’t just finished chemo, then she’s having to think, “OK, do I want to have a child with this man I barely know?” And that’s the leading factor in any decisions. But she has so much else going on. It’s a very, very tough spot, and I think there’s going to be some real grieving that happens if this doesn’t continue. The choices are going to be very heavy.

TVLINE | I had not even considered the fact that she was still in a form of treatment. That’s so gutting.
Yeah, and it makes the conversation around abortion that we’re going to be having even more complex.

a-million-little-things-recap-season-3-episode-5TVLINE | Before all of this kind of blows up our episode, it’s already not a super-fun one for her. Talk to me a little bit about coming back and seeing Gary and Darcy playing house at Delilah’s.
I think her main prerogative with Gary and Darcy is to not mess things up for them. She already feels like a burden on their relationship and, regardless of any feelings that she may have for Gary romantically, she views him as a person she cares a lot about and so, she wants him to be happy. And Darcy seems very cool.

So, I think Maggie entering a room with both of them just automatically puts her in, like, overdrive trying to accommodate and make things cool, which inevitably backfires because that’s how Maggie operates. [Laughs]

TVLINE | That friend group is all up in each other’s business, so I would imagine that Maggie might be worried that someone would immediately notice that — for instance — she wasn’t drinking wine at the table read at the end of the episode, and what that might mean.
Oh, I think she’s on high alert. She’s looking around that table trying to see who’s seeing her, and then, of course, Gary is looking at her in a way where she knows she’s busted. It’s because every single character is conveniently observant at certain times and conveniently naïve at others. [Laughs]

a-million-little-things-recap-season-3-episode-5TVLINE | What can you tell us about Jamie and Maggie and how they may or may not be in contact now that she cannot physically return to England, at least for a while?
Well, at first, they are just talking on the phone and FaceTiming, so there will be a very serious conversation that happens between the two of them, as is required.

Warning: This post contains major spoilers from Big Sky‘s fall finale. Proceed accordingly.

Talk about Big Rick Energy.

John Carroll Lynch‘s Officer Rick Legarski was a cocky, taunting son-of-a-gun right up until the end of Tuesday’s Big Sky fall finale… when he goaded Cassie Dewell into shooting him in the head.

The hour opened with Legarski having visions of driving a hammer into his wife, Merilee’s, skull for daring to dance with another man. But he thought better of it, later announcing to Ronald that after the Canadians picked up Jerrie, Grace and Dani that day, he was going to get out of the sex-trafficking business for good.

He was also half a step ahead of Cassie and Jenny, having moved the kidnapped women just before the duo got the sheriff’s forces to descend upon the Building of Land Management property. With the trio now tied up in the basement of the All In Bar, Cassie eventually realized that that might be where Rick was holding them. When she found him there with the women, they both pulled their weapons. And though her hands shook and Legarski mocked her for her inability to pull the trigger at first, Cassie eventually squeezed off a shot that lodged itself in Rick’s skull.

So that’s the first thing we discussed with Lynch when we got him on the phone Tuesday.

TVLINE | Being shot in the head is not really something people bounce back from. Are you allowed to say whether or not he’s a goner?
Am I allowed to say? I don’t know. I will say that whatever happens is appropriate for this character.

TVLINE | Rick mentions throughout this episode that he’s unraveling a bit. Do you think that the events of this episode would’ve gone differently if he hadn’t been feeling like it was all falling apart?
One of the things that I’ve been really excited about is exploring the decisions of someone who is not capable of compartmentalizing his decisions. They have an effect on him, as opposed to someone who’s able to continue on without cost. This is an appropriate response to the cost of it all, you know what I mean? Rick Legarski in his prime would never have been a sex trafficker. We have to believe that, at some point, he was what everybody thought he was. And then something happened to him. He took the power into his own hands, made his own decisions. So this is what appropriately happens to him in the course of that. Karma’s a bitch, you know what I mean? A pain in the ass.

Big Sky Recap Season 1 Episode 5 Rick DiesTVLINE | You bring up that Rick wasn’t always the way he is now. We saw Rick recruit Ronald, but do you know how Rick was recruited? Or might that be something that we see in the season as it moves forward?
For me, I’m not sure what will unfold in the remainder of the season, if you’ll find out that or not. I don’t know. For me, the character was watching his corner of Montana fall apart. He was watching the growth of a lot of things that weren’t supposed to be there: methamphetamines, poverty and other things. He made a decision that he can’t clean it all up, but he could handle basically exporting, in his mind, the problem of sex workers in his little area. The choices he made around it obviously had more to do with his misogyny and his sense of entitlement with the law. And anyone who takes the law into their own hands eventually makes those kinds of mistakes, and these were doozies.

TVLINE | Merilee’s confession that she’d danced with another man hit Rick harder than I would’ve expected it to. Do you think he thought it would’ve hit him that hard?
No. I think he’s surprised at how much he cares. Not that he didn’t think he cared, but he is surprised at how deeply wounded he is by the betrayal. And for him, it is a betrayal. It is nothing in comparison to what he’s doing. [Laughs] In terms of betrayals, it’s nothing like the betrayal he’s already participating in: in keeping this horrific thing from her, in engaging in it in the first place, in creating a circumstance in which her life and reputation are forfeit. I don’t think he thinks in those terms; again, all of it’s very selfish. I think he’s quite surprised by how deeply he feels for her. In his mind, if he can just finish this thing out, he can find redemption again. But, you know, Cassie Dewell has other plans.

TVLINE | Whenever anybody holds a very strong ideology, there are always loopholes.
Yes.

TVLINE | You can always find loopholes for something you want to do, or to forgive something someone you love has done.
That’s right.

big sky recap season 1 episode 5 jerrieTVLINE | So when he’s recruiting Ronald, all I could think of was, “The problem is not the sex workers. The problem is men like Ronald.”
Yes. Let’s figure out who to blame: Let’s blame the woman who’s desperate. He’s obviously blaming the wrong person. This is going to sound really… I watched this amazing TED Talk between this woman and this man. They have a co-TED Talk about the night he committed date rape on her in high school. He was a transfer student from Australia in Iceland, and they have a conversation… about that evening. She says something that I think is an important thing, and certainly true and obvious: The problem of rape, the problem of sex trafficking, is not a woman’s problem, it’s a man’s problem. The way in which we’re socializing men is clearly incorrect. You know that phrase “She’s an occasion to sin,” which is a line that I came up with [Laughs], which is what the Jesuits told me about sex when I was in high school — that the circumstances are “an occasion to sin.” And they were talking about the circumstances; I don’t think they were intending to say that women were an occasion to sin. But for a 14-year-old, 15-year-old boy? That’s how he’s going to interpret it. ‘Cause he’s not the problem. And I don’t think Rick ever got over that mentality. I don’t think Rick ever got over that “I’m supposed to be dominant, I’m supposed to be in charge, I’m supposed to make the decisions, I’m supposed to care in the way that I care for people, and it’s all about me.” And clearly, it is!

TVLINE | I don’t know what your personal political preferences are, and it doesn’t really matter for the purposes of this question. But Big Sky was made during the year of a highly polarizing presidential election, and Rick really does stand for a lot of the things that the far Right stood for. I don’t think he ever says the phrase “Make America great again,” but it definitely could have come out of his mouth very easily. How much was what was going on in America’s politics come to mind when you were playing him?
I really do feel like the people who write television and create television often live in a bubble away from people who live lives outside of that bubble but have nothing to do with that. We’re trying to create a world that, especially when the show takes place in Montana — I don’t know how many of the writers have been to Montana. I certainly have not been. I based my understanding of the character based on my own experience of living in Colorado, growing up in Colorado which at the time I grew up was a decidedly Red state. It wasn’t the pot-legalized, larger version of Seattle that it is now. But what I had in my mind mostly was trying to figure out the way in which the world looks from the perspective of this person at this moment. And not as a reflection of — I hope — not as a reflection of what people in a bubble inside an industry are saying that he’s saying, if that makes any sense.

I was really sensitive to the idea of “This sounds like somebody from the outside looking in, not from the inside looking out.” I hope that I reached some level of “inside looking out,” in this deluded, horrible person. This is not the ethos of someone who is earnestly involved in, let’s assume there are people in the world that are trying to make America great again the way they believe it needs to be. I think Rick is that person, [but] he’s just crazy. These decisions are not rational decisions. They’re impulsive and they’re inappropriate and, in some ways, sad — especially when he has a reputation, he has a standing in the community, he has a wife who could potentially love him, and all of that he puts at risk for this behavior, and he doesn’t realize it until it’s too late. And in that way, it’s sad. But he’s responsible. And that responsibility comes to roost in this episode.

big sky recap season 1 episode 5 rick dies deadTVLINE | I want to leave you on a slightly lighter note: When I spoke with Jade Pettyjohn, she told me that was actually you carrying her around during the episode where Grace escapes. And so much of Rick’s dialogue capitalized on your stature. So I guess I’m asking: Is your back OK?
My back is fine. [Laughs] I have to say: One time I made a movie, actually here in Vancouver, called Love Happens. There was a shot of me getting off of a tour bus and going into a Home Depot with a bunch of people, as part of a grief seminar thing. It’s a long story. But anyway, the shot was beautiful. It was a rising crane shot on the Home Depot with everybody walking into the store. And I had a cart. When I did the shot, it seemed perfectly rational and reasonable that all of us as grief people would be going in there. And then when I saw the shot, I was like, “Why is that adult going into a store with 40 children?” I often forget how large I am in comparison to other people. [Laughs] And Jade is decidedly a petite person. So I look even more like a different species when I’m carrying her around. That’s just true.

TVLINE | I have never looked at you on screen and thought, “Wow, what a giant. How did they ever fit that man in the frame?!”
Well, when you look at my work again, and you notice that most of the time, there are no over-the-shoulder shots to my scene partner. They’re always across-the-arm shots, because if they did over-the-shoulder shots, everyone would look like they were 3 ft. tall. Actually, one of the directors of this show was like, “Let’s bring the camera down. I don’t want to diminish the other characters.” [Laughs] But it was like, why did you even try an over-the-shoulder shot? It always looks like I’m loomng! Basically, when I’m looking at a script, if I don’t know who I’m going to be reading for or looking at, I often look for the word “lumber,” and likely that’s the character I’ll be reading for.

The following post contains spoilers for Friday’s episode of The Blacklist.

Liz Keen blew right past the “denial” stage of grief on Friday’s Blacklist, making herself quite comfortable in the “anger” phase instead.

The game-changing hour — which also served as the last new Blacklist episode until Jan. 22 — found Red shooting and killing Katarina Rostova, despite Liz’s firm stance that her relationship with Red would end permanently if he harmed her mother at all.

But when Katarina got some long-awaited answers from Dom (who also, sadly, died during the episode), Red saw no other option than to murder Katarina; she had discovered that Red is (allegedly) the elusive KGB mole known as N13, and he also (allegedly) possesses the Sikorsky Archive. With that information, Katarina planned to go to the Townsend Organization — the one that put a bounty on her head years ago — and prove her innocence for good, but Red intercepted that move before she could make it.

As executive producer John Eisendrath tells TVLine, the plan to kill off Katarina — who is really dead, he says — was originally intended to end Season 7 last spring. But when the coronavirus pandemic halted production, forcing Season 7 to wrap a few episodes early, her death was moved to the current eighth season.

“What we lost in not being able to have the end to Season 7 that we envisioned, we gained back in having such an adrenaline-filled beginning to Season 8,” Eisendrath says. “We wanted to push Liz and Red apart to begin Season 8, and nothing would do that as well as killing Katarina immediately after Liz decided to side with her against Red.”

The Blacklist Season 8Halfway through Friday’s episode, Liz reminded Red that if he were to kill Katarina, “we’re done. Whatever this is, whatever relationship we had or have, will be over.” In response, Red merely put on his hat, stared at Liz for a moment, then left to commit the very act she’d just warned against.

“What Red absolutely won’t abide is someone he can’t trust knowing certain truths he won’t share,” Eisendrath explains. “Once Dom told Katarina those truths, everything changed. Suddenly, killing her was worth the damage it would do to his relationship with Liz.”

And Liz’s reaction upon witnessing Red shoot Katarina — “You’re never going to get away with this!” she screamed as Red was whisked away by associates — is a threat she intends to fulfill, the EP says.

“Liz and Red are going to war,” he confirms. “The death of Katarina makes Liz more resolute than ever about getting answers to questions she’s been asking for seven years. She’s willing to burn every bridge and cross every line in search of the truth. Her resolution, plus all she’s learned from Red over the years about thinking like a criminal, makes her one of Red’s most formidable adversaries.”

RELATED STORIES

One of the worst-kept secrets in Bachelorette history was confirmed on Thursday, as Clare Crawley‘s romantic journey reached its conclusion… and Tayshia Adams‘ love story began.

The two-hour affair began with a “surprise” visit from Chris Harrison, who immediately demanded answers (wiith “no bulls–t”) from Clare. “Right now, the guys in the house are unhappy, they’re confused,” he explained. “These are good guys, and they’re not dumb. [Editor’s note: That is a lie.] They know what’s going on. The path we’re on right now, we can’t continue.”

When asked to spell out her feelings for Dale Moss, Clare explained, “We have this connection where it feels like I’ve known him forever. There really is that fine line between respecting the process and going for what you want — and Dale is what I want.” (Pay attention. This is the first of several references to “the process.”)

Clare recalled cyberstalking perusing Dale’s social media accounts while the season was shut down for COVID-19, saying that she instantly recognized him as “somebody I could see hanging out with.” That said, she insisted that she never spoke with Dale before filming the show. “Not one bit, not one word. I swear on my dad’s grave.” Yikes!

Chris’ next visit was to the guys, who were not thrilled to learn that both the cocktail party and the rose ceremony had been cancelled. They were also not thrilled when Chris took Dale aside to tell him that Clare canceled the evening’s festivities because she wanted to spend more time alone with him. Back in the room, the men boys were vocally baffled by Clare’s decision, but can you really blame her? From “I’m a lot of things, but I’m not a quitter!” to “There’s a bunch of good dudes in here, so f–k that!” there doesn’t seem to be a salvageable gentleman in the pig pile.

That night, Clare took Dale out to dinner to pop the question (“Will you blow up The Bachelorette with me?”) while the ghost of Ashley and J.P.’s marriage wept silently from the bushes. (When Dale said that he “felt good energy” in the room, you know he looked nervous as hell. He probably sensed that spirit’s presence!)

Dinner looked delicious, of course, but there was a surprise item on the menu that Dale was not expecting: a full plate of expectations — and the helping was generous. But Clare’s outpouring of affections did not deter Dale. In fact, he told her that he still remembers her stepping out of the limo “like it was yesterday.” (It actually wasn’t that long ago, but it was a nice sentiment, so we’ll pretend we’re impressed.)

Clare replied, “I can’t put into words how you make me feel. It’s insane! It’s insane! That’s pretty much how I feel.” (At this point, we could relate.)

As for whether he was ready to take the plunge, Dale told Clare, “When we met, I felt love. I’m falling in love with you through this process. My heart is open, and I’m not going to fight that. I’ve been dying to share this with you.” [Cue some of the sloppiest, wettest kisses imaginable.]

In the cruel light of day, Clare was forced to address the angry horde. “How are you guys doing?” she asked, to which one of the guys — pretending to care — replied, “How are you, more importantly?”

“This is so hard for me, because you are all such amazing guys,” Clare told the group. “When I came here, I was so ready and open and willing to find the love of my life. What I came here for, I think I found — and it’s with Dale. I’m a woman who knows what I want, and I’m going for it.” The guys demanded an apology for wasting their time and “faking it” for the past few weeks, inspiring this meme-ready quote: “I’ll apologize if I’ve wasted your time, I’ll apologize if I’ve hurt you, but I’m not going to apologize for love!”

That night, while the other boys soaked their bitterness in the pool, Clare met with Dale to make things official. “There’s a lot I’m scared of, but it’ll all be worth it when he gets down on one knee,” she told the cameras. And lucky for her, that’s exactly what he did. She accepted his proposal (duh), then immediately screamed “Clare Moss!” into the void. (Also duh.)

With the entire Bachelorette franchise ripped to bloody shreds, the men — now devoid of all purpose — began to slowly vanish from existence. (We almost felt bad for them, but then one guy was like, “I still have a lot left in the tank.” Uh, bye!) Then came the episode’s final twist! Chris summoned the men back for a “historic” reveal: “Your journey is not over. Each of you needs to make a decision. Can you look past your feelings with Clare and move on?”

“You guys, to no fault of anyone, got a little cheated,” Chris told the group of brave man-children willing to continue. “If you guys take this leap of faith, you will have a shot at love. Gentlemen, your new Bachelorette is on her way here right now. That’s right, you guys have a brand new Bachelorette. This woman is incredible. She is smart, independent, wants to get to know you guys … and she really is in a place in her life where she wants to find love.”

That woman, as fans have likely already seen in countless headlines (including this one), is Tayshia Adams.

It’s curtains for Alan Arkin on The Kominsky Method: Arkin will not return to the Netflix dramedy for its third and final season, TVLine has confirmed.

According to a rep for the show, Arkin’s decision to exit was made “some time ago,” and his character’s departure will be addressed in the Season 3 storyline. Our sister site Deadline, which first broke the news, reports that Arkin chose to leave the show before the coronavirus pandemic hit the television industry.

Arkin has co-starred for the past two seasons as Norman Newlander, the agent and friend of Michael Douglas’ titular acting coach, Sandy Kominsky. The role has earned him two Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (which he lost to Schitt’s Creek‘s Daniel Levy at the 2020 ceremony earlier this month), as well as two consecutive Golden Globe nods.

Created by Chuck Lorre, The Kominsky Method also stars Sarah Baker (Young Sheldon) as Sandy’s daughter, Mindy, and Nancy Travis (Last Man Standing) as Lisa, one of Sandy’s acting students. The show’s final season was announced in July, but there’s currently no timetable for its return.

Along with The Kominsky Method, several other Netflix series recently announced plans to wrap their runs, including crime drama Ozark, dark comedy Dead to Me and Lucifer, which was revived at the streamer after its initial cancellation.

Fiona Bruce has been hosting a new format of the panel show in recent weeks. Guests on Question Time have been answering video questions amid the coronavirus outbreak to maintain social distancing. Tonight’s show included guests Brandon Lewis, the Northern Ireland secretary, Rachel Reeves, Shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Peter Openshaw, Professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College, comedian and write Ruby Wax and Darren McGarvey, a Scottish rapper also known as Loki.

But it seems the Good Morning Britain presenter was not impressed with their debate this evening, as he savaged the show on Twitter after it aired.

He wrote: “Love Question Time but that was an absolute shocker tonight.

“Biggest crisis since WW2 & we’re served up a ranting Scottish rapper, Ruby Wax plugging her business, a scientist praising China (WTF?) and two dull politicians spouting platitudes.

“Very disappointing.“

Followers of Piers Morgan have echoed the presenter’s sentiments of the show’s lack of quality.

Steve Richards: “I’m surprised you’re surprised.

“There’s something rotten at the heart of this programme.

“A shame, it used to be great, several years ago.”

In response, Mark Holdstock asked “is anyone watching Question Time any more?”

The show also focused on the public- health sector’s status in the coronavirus pandemic.

Peter Openshaw, Professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College, commented that there wasn’t enough investment into the sector to effectively handle the virus.

He said: “It’s incredibly important to appreciate the great work of the scientists who’ve been developing testing in this country have been doing.

“They’ve been working really hard to build up from a low place because there hasn’t been enough investment in public health over the last 10 years, and the public health structure has been reorganised repeatedly.

“I think we do know now that we can get on with the testing, but it’s important that it’s really high quality…”

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the UK reached 65,077 on Thursday.

At least 7,978 have died after contracting the virus.

Lockdown measures are likely to be extended beyond the initial three weeks to further stem chances of infection.

The American, 29, won two majors this year after retaining the US Open and taking the PGA Championship too.

You would think, then, that he would be perfect adept in rolling in a putt from two foot.

But no. Koepka needed to whole his putt to win the 15th hole against Sergio Garcia and Rory McIlroy – but what happened next was a disaster.

He somehow contrived to clip the left lip as the ball circled round the cup and stayed out.

fans gasped in disbelief at what they had seen at Le Golf National while others took to Twitter to discuss what they had seen.

“That Koepka lipout just perfectly discribes this American Performance,” wrote one.

“Koepka missed from 2 feet. Solid focus there by the power lifter. #rydercup,” said another.

“Hahahahahahahaha Koepka misses a one footer!!!!!! Good god this US team is pathetic. #RyderCup,” taunted one European fan.

While another said; “LOL, Koepka just missed one from 20 inches. I’d ask “why were they making him putt that?” but I guess I found out. Finau rolled in a 2-footer for par to give the U.S. the win.”

“How does Koepka miss a 2 footer? I mean seriously insane” pondered a fellow viewer.

Team Europe captain Thomas Bjorn had earlier warned his Ryder Cup players not to give putts away at Le Golf National.

Bjorn linked up with former English pro Nick Dougherty for a Sky Sports feature ahead of the Ryder Cup.

The pair took on one another in a three-hole round with Bjorn taking the first.

Dougherty holed a 12-footer for it to go into a decider and the light-hearted match went down to the final putts.

Bjorn gave Dougherty an eight-footer to ensure he got par, to which the Englishman joked: “That’s the spirit of the Ryder Cup!”

But Bjorn stopped him in his tracks and said: “No, it’s the spirit of golf.”

Dougherty then joked there wouldn’t be too many of those given away in Paris, to which the European captain replied: “I hope not. They’ll be in big trouble if they give too many of those away.”

Millionaire businessman Joe Tate (played by Ned Porteous) has gradually made a place for himself on Emmerdale after his introduction last year.

Initially pretending to be a mysterious character called Tom Waterhouse on the ITV soap, he struck up a relationship with local mechanic Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb) with the secret intention of destroying her entire family.

Joe had harboured a grudge against her mother Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) ever since his father Chris Tate’s (Peter Amoury) tragic death as a child.

But the latest developments have seen Joe fight to develop a bond with his younger half-brother Noah Dingle and struggle with his true feelings for the blonde mother-of-two.

Now many fans predict the attractive charmer will actually convince the stubborn Debbie to get back together with him.

In a new poll it was revealed a whopping 49 per cent of viewers’ voting believed they would see the pair rekindling their relationship.

The latest instalment has already seen a spark hinting this will be the case, particularly after Debbie gallantly saved her ex from a quarry death.

As their feelings intensified, the duo later shared a tentative kiss.

But is it a fleeting glimpse of what there could be as Debbie is unable to forgive the manipulative character for all he has done?

Or is it the start of something new between them?

Meanwhile, other fans are still waiting for the ITV soap to reveal exactly how Joe was involved in Liv Flaherty’s (Isobel Steele) court mess.

While the character made it all but clear he’d meddled with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) and Robert Sugden’s (Ryan Hawley) lawyer, there are still those around him completely in the dark to the extent of his evil.

What’s more, Joe and Robert’s feud is still yet to be resolved, so maybe the Home Farm owner will return to unfinished business instead.

Actor Ned recently weighed in on his character’s problematic intentions.

“Obviously it’s been a very dramatic time in Joe’s life,” he shared. “Waking up in hospital to Debbie having saved him, probably, from whatever damage could have been.

“Coming round in the hospital, [he’s] realising that all his feelings for Debbie have been cemented true. He also needs to believe that Debbie feels the same way for him.”

The star continued: “He manages to steal a kiss but obviously she’s not in the best of head spaces right now and I don’t think he even knows where it’s going to go.

“I know what he wants, obviously he wants to be with Debbie, he does love her! But does he believe that she loves him back? We’ll have to wait and see…” Ned added to OK! Online.

In true Emmerdale fashion, there are no happy endings for long, so what’s next for the pair?

Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm on ITV.

Grey’s Anatomy is thinning its sizable cast: Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew will depart the ABC drama at the end of Season 14. According to Deadline, the pair are being let go for creative reasons.

Capshaw has played Dr. Arizona Robbins for a decade, while Drew — aka Dr. April Kepner — has been on the show for nine years.

“The characters of Arizona and April are permanently woven into the fabric of Grey’s Anatomy thanks to the extraordinary work of Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew,” showrunner Krista Vernoff said in a statement. “As writers, our job is to follow the stories where they want to go and sometimes that means saying goodbye to characters we love. It has been a joy and a privilege to work with these phenomenally talented actresses.”

Added series creator Shonda Rhimes: “It’s always hard for me to say goodbye to any of my characters. Both Arizona Robbins and April Kepner are not only beloved but iconic — both the LBGTQ and devout Christian communities are underrepresented on TV. I will be forever grateful to both Jessica and Sarah for bringing these characters to life with such vibrant performance and for inspiring women around the globe. They will always be a part of our Shondaland family.”

Conte’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain despite the Italian managing to steer the Blues’ season back on track.

However, with the 48-year-old still seething at club owner Roman Abramovich’s reluctance to back him in the transfer market, a parting of the ways could be in the offing.

Chelsea have made a habit of sacking managers despite their achievements, meaning last year’s Premier League title triumph may not be enough to keep Conte at Stamford Bridge.

And Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport say that Allegri, who succeeded Conte at Juventus, has agreed to do the same at Chelsea.

The 50-year-old may leave at the end of the season.

He has taken Juventus on considerably during his time at the club but, with the Champions League continuing to evade them, he may take up the reins somewhere else.

Juventus are also behind Napoli in the race for the Scudetto and, should their dominance of Serie A end, Allegri may deem it the perfect time to walk away.

And Corriere dello Sport say he has already verbally agreed to take the reins at Chelsea.

However, Juventus may need persuading to let their manager go.

It is said they want to keep him until the end of his contract, which expires in 2020.

In October, Conte slammed reports saying he could leave Chelsea as ‘bull****’.

“I think around us there is a lot of bulls**t. If I see the past it happened the same with a lot of managers. A lot of bulls**t,” he said.

“They try to create problems between me, the club and the players. If someone is happy to continue to write this I think I answered very well in the past. I am answering very well about these different issues.

“I think this is a lack of respect. I can accept [if you] write that the club is ready to sack me, the story with the players [being unhappy].

“I don’t care what the newspaper write about my future or the other person because this is our job.”
