Someone upstairs must have been keeping an eye out for Josh Gad, who appeared to make a miraculous recovery in time for Saturday’s Jesus Christ Superstar performance at Hollywood Bowl.

After missing Friday’s opening night due to a Covid diagnosis, during which John Stamos filled in as King Herod, the Tony nominee made a surprise return to the cast on Saturday to finish out the musical’s limited three-show run.

“What a joy getting to surprise everyone and stand side by side with my incredible and otherworldly cast tonight at the @hollywoodbowl,” wrote Gad on Instagram. “Honored to bear witness to this masterclass in musical theater led by the finest talents this side of the planet.”

Gad previously shared a photo of himself in costume, teasing in the caption: “See you all Sunday night.”

As Cynthia Erivo channels the Son of God, her Judas is coming to her defense.

Ahead of this weekend’s star-studded Jesus Christ Superstar concert at Hollywood Bowl, Adam Lambert defended the casting of Erivo in the eponymous biblical role, which has drawn backlash from some circles over the Tony-winning actress being a Black LGBTQ woman.

“Cynthia’s brilliant. Her voice, presence, and simultaneous power and vulnerability absolutely blows my mind and working with her has been a dream,” Lambert told Billboard. “I’m excited by the challenge of presenting the audience with a production led by a female, Black ‘Jesus’ and encourage the audience to expand their minds a bit. Originally utilizing rock and roll, Jesus Christ Superstar is supposed to provoke and challenge, that’s the point. And shouldn’t the teachings of Jesus transcend gender?”

Erivo was cast as Jesus back in February, the actress addressed the discourse in an interview.

After announcing that he tested positive for Covid just a few days ago, Josh Gad took to social media again to share that he has just tested negative with a later update that he'd return for the production's final performance. The caption of the post read, "Paxlovid you did good kid. Even if you made my mouth taste like I've been making out with the Tinman for a month." John Stamos, who stepped in for Gad in the role of King Herod in the Hollywood Bowl's upcoming Jesus Christ Superstar concert staging will still perform in the production on Saturday evening. Gad shared that he would return for the final performance on Sunday, August 3rd. "Rarely have I had the opportunity to witness up close such profound...

John Stamos is sliding into the golden slippers of King Herod just hours before the curtain comes up on Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl.

Stamos’ last minute casting comes after Josh Gad announced yesterday that he would no longer occupy the throne on Friday night.

“It is with enormous heartbreak that I inform you all that unfortunately, I have contracted a virus known as Covid (remember that little bastard from season one of ‘Earth really sucks right now’?)” Gad wrote in on Instagram.

Stamos is not just a pretty face. Beyond his acting chops, he’s been a musician for decades, most famously playing with the Beach Boys on a regular basis. He also participated in the Broadway revival of Bye Bye Birdie and played Corny Collins in Hairspray at the Bowl in 2011.

“I am grateful for the chance to step into the gold lamé,” wrote Stamos on Instagram.

John Stamos will be appearing as King Herod in this weekend’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl, replacing Josh Gad at the last minute.

Josh had to drop out of the show after contracting Covid, leaving the production just hours to find a replacement before the first performance on Friday night!

Marvel will bring Helen Cho back into the spotlight via a new actress, a decade after the character's biggest appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Helen Cho had a small but important role in the McU's second Avengers movie, assisting Earth's Mightiest Heroes before Ultron forced her to help in his quest to upgrade his body. While she has not been seen since then in the MCU, another universe is confirmed to bring her back.

Disney cast Lauren Tom to voice Helen Cho in the upcoming Disney Jr. show, Iron Man and his Awesome Friends, which will also stream on Disney+. Known for her live-action work in Friends, The Joy Luck Club, and Supernatural (see more on Supernatural's original ending here), Tom is also an accomplished voiceover artist, with hundreds of credits to her name. Now, she will reenter the greater Marvel universe in a new capacity for Disney Jr.

It’s been a big year for soap star Mike Manning. After snagging the role of Smitty on CBS’ latest soap Beyond The Gates and attending the Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles, Manning has now checked something special off his bucket list.

This Is What Dreams Are Made Of

Last month, Manning announced that he was going to San Diego Comic Con to premiere his new film Unexpected Treasures. The world-famous convention was held at San Diego Convention Center over the weekend, and Manning documented his experience on Instagram.

Days of our Lives spoilers for the week of July 28-August 1, 2025 tease Johnny’s trial and an unexpected visitor.

Here’s What Happens Next On Days of our Lives

It’s time for Johnny’s (Carson Boatman), and all of Salem is rooting for the innocent young man. Everyone knows he didn’t shoot his father, but the evidence is against him, and now, it’s up to the judge and jury, including juror Leo (Greg Rikaart). Look for the trial to begin early in the week and Ej (Dan Feuerriegel) and Belle (Martha Madison) to be pitted against each other in court.

Johnny’s trial was about to start in the Thursday, July 24 episode of Days of Our Lives. But even before the jury came out, Marlena collapsed. In addition to this strange occurrence, Marlena hypnotized Ej, Rachel freaked out at the Dimera mansion, and Johnny and Chanel worried about the trial. Plus, Gwen discovered Alice’s necklace was gone from the hotel room safe. And, oh yeah, Theo and Claire broke up off-screen.

Ej’s Memory Hit a Wall

Ej (Dan Feuerriegel) turned to Marlena (Deidre Hall) for help remembering who shot him. So, once again, the good doctor’s expert hypnosis skills were put to good use. Unfortunately, Ej couldn’t remember who he was talking to while under.

But Marlena assured him that this is normal. Sometimes it takes time and more than one session for the patient to recall the memory.

Meanwhile, Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Rachel (Alice Halsey...

In addition to Trina holding her ground, General Hospital spoilers for Thursday, July 24, 2025, will also focus on Elizabeth reuniting with Obrecht and Willow and Scout having a heart-to-heart.

If Trina (Tabyana Ali) is holding her ground, like the teasers suggest, then she isn’t budging on how she feels about what Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) did. Telling Drew what her parents were up to regarding Jacinda (Paige Herschell) was betrayal. Trina would not tolerate anyone hurting her parents.

After all, Kai didn’t know the whole story. And he doesn’t know the real Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). So are we about to get another Trina/Kai confrontation that won’t end well for Kai?

The beauty of the Marvel multiverse - or, well, any multiverse for that matter - is that there are really cool explanations to highlight why different versions of the same character exist. This also allows current adaptations of those characters to incoporate all of the previous ones too, making them all canon - even if they aren't canon to the same timeline or universe. They all existed, and that's what matters.

DC did it on TV with the Arrowverse and movies with the former Dceu, Now, Marvel is doing it with the Multiverse Saga. And as a result of this, any properties that run parallel to the Marvel Cinematic Universe can still be explained away as existing in an alternate timeline. It means that we can have multiple versions of the same character appear in either the same or different properties.

Why are we explaining this now? Well, because a...

Apologies to Jeff Franklin, creator of the Tgif sitcom Full House, but the show aired many episodes that could compete for the series’ worst. Maybe that’s why Franklin limited it to Season Three when he picked his “controversial” entry for most horrible episode, that year’s season premiere, “Tanner’s Island.”

The premise is predictably dopey. To celebrate the anniversary of Joey and Jesse moving in with the Tanners (did they have the date written on the calendar?), Danny gifts everyone with a surprise vacation to Hawaii. That’s a helluva present! There are the usual hijinks (Joey wants to hook up with a hula dancer) before their three-hour boat tour goes awry, and the fam finds themselves stranded on a deserted island.

Yeah, it’s Gilligan’s Island, complete with coconuts falling on Joey’s head.

With that said, the character’s portrayer, Kin Shriner, is always active on social media, and he recently uploaded a video that talked about a botched surgery and how fellow Gh alum, John Stamos, came to his rescue.

John Stamos Is Kin Shriner’s Hero

Shriner hopped on the social media platform X and talked about a foot surgery he had last summer that left him unable to move much.

According to Shriner, the surgeon ‘botched’ the foot surgery and he ‘basically couldn’t walk’ for six months. The good news was that his former Gh co-star and friend, John Stamos (ex-Blackie Parris) swung in for the rescue and recommended a stellar podiatrist at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

General Hospital star Kin Shriner gave fans an update on his health one year after undergoing surgery for a foot injury. Shriner recalled how an “arrogant surgeon” performed a “subtalar fusion” on him last year in a June 30 X video. “He botched it,” the actor explained. “So, for six months, I basically couldn’t walk.” According to the Cleveland Clinic, a subtalar fusion is a type of surgery that fuses together the two subtalar joints below the ankle so they become one. Following the procedure, Shriner said his “good pal” John Stamos recommended he check out a doctor at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The doctor “redid” the surgery with much success, allowing Shriner to recover appropriately. “I’m down here in old Fort Lauderdale rehabbing this foot every day, every day, so that I can get mobile,” Shriner continued, joking that he has been breaking “attendance records” at a local gym.

Stamos to the Rescue

In a video recently shared on X (formerly Twitter), Shriner, who has played Scott Baldwin on General Hospital for nearly five decades and has had a long history of foot surgeries, reported that an operation he had last summer left him with limited mobility. Shriner explained that he had been under the care of “some arrogant surgeon” and that that surgeon allegedly “botched it! So, for six months, I basically couldn’t walk,” shared the actor.

Doctor Odyssey won’t be setting sail for a second season — for now, and maybe not ever. But ABC maintains that the series hasn’t been canceled, even as its cast is on the verge of being free to pursue other work.

The series, co-created by Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken, was the only scripted ABC show whose future was up in the air as the 2024-25 season came to a close. ABC has repeatedly said that it’s still weighing the show’s future: Disney Television Group president Craig Erwich told The Hollywood Reporter in May that “We’re continuing to have creative conversations with Ryan, and we’ll talk to him about what the next chapter looks like.”

Yet as those conversations were happening, Doctor Odyssey’s sets were being struck, sources tell THR, and contract options for the cast are set to expire Monday.

The doctor is "out" and won't be back for ABC's 2025-26 TV season. Doctor Odyssey has been essentially cancelled as the cast's second season option expire. The first season of 18 episodes finished airing last month.

A medical drama series, the Doctor Odyssey TV show was created by Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken. The series stars Joshua Jackson, Don Johnson, Phillipa Soo, and Sean Teale. In the story, Dr. Max Bankman (Jackson) is the new on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship. On board, Captain Robert Massey (Johnson) and his staff work hard and play even harder. It’s all-hands-on-deck as Max and his small but mighty medical team -- Nurse Avery Morgan (Soo) and Nurse Tristan Silva (Teale) -- navigate unique medical crises and each other, miles from shore. Guests in the first season include Shania Twain, John Stamos,...

Ryan Murphy has created and produced some of the most popular television series. He just has an eye for what viewers prefer to watch with his credits including Glee, American Horror Story, Pose, 9-1-1, and The Watcher. Murphy is not slowing down, either. In 2024, ABC's Doctor Odyssey was added to the writer's list of productions. While doctors aboard a luxury cruise caught the attention, it seems not to have had the level of interest to convince ABC to renew it.

Who wouldn't want to tune in to watch highly skilled doctors on a luxury cruise handling medical cases far away from the nearest shore? Within its 18 episodes, there was no shortage of drama and cases for Dr. Max Bankman (Joshua Jackson) and his team. However, there seemed to be a shortage in ABC's interest to renew the series, as the network decided to cancel it instead. According to Variety, fans...

Bobby Sherman passed away from stage four cancer this week, and John Stamos paid him tribute. He was once a teen idol and a heartthrob singer who performed songs like “Easy Come, Easy Go.” He also acted, as does General Hospital alum, Stamos.

John And Bobby Got Different Breaks

John Stamos got his first major break as Blackie Parrish on the ABC television soap opera General Hospital. He was a member of a band named The Bad Boyz, but it was his time on Full House as Jesse Katsopolis that soared him into a higher popularity. Like his friend, Bobby, he became a teen idol.

Thank you to every fan who ever sang along, who ever wrote a letter, who ever sent love his way. He felt it. Rest gently, my love.”

Bobby Sherman, a singer and actor who became a quintessential shaggy-haired teen idol of the late 1960s and early ’70s, died Tuesday at age 81.

His wife, Brigette Poublon Sherman, had announced three months ago that the entertainer had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, John Stamos and Lori Loughlin recently had a mini Full House reunion during a live version of the How Rude, Tanneritos podcast. The gang reminisced, as old cast members do, and eventually the conversation turned to Bob Saget, the late actor who played Danny Tanner on the show.

As anyone who’s seen The Aristocrats knows, Saget was notorious for filthy jokes, which made him an interesting presence on the set of a kiddie sitcom. Despite working with young co-stars, Saget rarely held back his favorite kind of humor. Stamos asked the younger actors, “What’s the most foul thing Bob said ever that got him the most in trouble?”

“I don’t know that I’d want to say it into a microphone,” replied Sweetin, who played Saget’s TV daughter Stephanie. Since she’s reluctant to repeat the raunchy punchlines, let’s let Saget do it himself.
