“I think she’s had a lot of reconstruction surgery,” Ruth Wilson says with a laugh. She’s referring to her Luther character, Alice Morgan, last seen at the end of the fifth season, seemingly dead. She’s back for the new movie starring Idris Elba announced by Netflix in November. But Alice is very much alive, despite it looking like she’d fallen to her death. We’re sure there will be a clever explanation in the new film, though we’ll gladly accept whatever it is because Alice is such an intriguing character and Wilson is absolutely brilliant in the role. It’s one she loves, too. “She haunts me.

Jon Lindstrom will return to General Hospital as Kevin Collins on Tuesday, December 2, a year after his last appearance. For the actor, who is currently playing Joey Armstrong on Beyond the Gates, it was a matter of working out his schedule. “It’s just been difficult to find the time,” explains Lindstrom, who shoots the new CBS soap in Atlanta. Looking back, Lindstrom says the decision to trade Port Charles for Fairmont Crest wasn’t a tough one. “In all fairness to me, it had whittled down to about one or two shows a month, so Kevin had been fairly inactive for a long time,” he points out. “I haven...

Blige, Jodeci, and Danity Kane. But along the way, and as detailed by his former associates,...

It’s been 21 years since Ken Jennings lost his streak on Jeopardy! The G.O.A.T. won 74 games and lost to Nancy Zerg on his 75th game on November 30, 2004. But what happened to Zerg after that shocking, historic win? Zerg, from Venture, California, won $14,401, after a Final Jeopardy question tripped Jennings up in December 2004. Jennings had $14,400 while Zerg had $10,000. In “Business & Industry,” the clue was “Most of this firm’s 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work for 4 months of the year.” With just Jennings and Zerg in the final, the champion had a greater chance of winning than against two opponents. The other contestant was in the negatives, so they didn’t compete in Final Jeopardy.
