Days of Our Lives sees Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) is really anxious about the publication of her steamy romance novel, One Stormy Night. But she’s also scared that a nutty ex is going to come for her if that guy realizes the book has parts about him in it. And it seems like that ex might be Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan).

But Stephanie trusted her boyfriend, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson), to take out a particular passage from the book that was very autobiographical, something she thought Jeremy might see and be triggered by. Obviously, Stephanie’s worried her abusive ex-boyfriend might see this.

So, I’m just wondering if Salem’s former bad boy Jeremy, is going to return to get a signed copy of the sexy book or to do something really, really bad to his ex. We’re going to dive into what happens when Stephanie...

Denise Alexander, who performed in thousands of radio episodes and on The Twilight Zone as a youngster before starring in two long stints as Dr. Lesley Webber on General Hospital, has died. She was 85.

Alexander died March 5 of natural causes at the home of a nephew in Boulder, Colorado, her stepson, Anthony Colla, told The Hollywood Reporter.

The daughter of a talent agent, Alexander had spent more than six years playing Susan Hunter Martin on NBC’s Days of Our Lives — she began in 1966 while in college — when G.H. producers at ABC heard that her contract had lapsed and began an “offer you can’t refuse situation,” she recalled in a 2010 interview for the website I Love Soaps.

She moved to Port Charles as Dr. Lesley Williams in March 1973, and over the next 11 years, her tough yet compassionate character would twice marry Dr. Rick Webber (Michael Gregory and then...

From its humble beginnings as a passion project made by director Michael Duignan and a group of dedicated Kiwi collaborators, The Paragon takes audiences on a quirkily delightful adventure. Working with a tiny budget of only $15,000 US dollars, the film never lets its financial limitations hold back its boundless imagination.

We’re introduced to Dutch, a grumpy ex-tennis pro nursing resentment after a hit-and-run accident destroyed his career. Seeking vengeance, he joins forces with mystical seer Lyra to learn psychic abilities and track down the elusive vehicle. But far greater forces are at work—Lyra is in a battle with her evil brother Haxan, who aims to control an all-powerful crystal. The fate of the universe hangs in the balance, whether Dutch cares to notice or not.

Boasting creative flare and oddball charm, The Paragon nods to sci-fi classics of the 1980s while forging its own path. Director Duignan’s...

While Monty Python remains beloved to this day, John Cleese isn’t without his share of adversaries — including one of his oldest friends and collaborators and the family of the World War II hero that he turned into Basil Fawlty. But topping all of those feuds was the time Cleese angered an entire city in New Zealand.

Back in 2005, the George of the Jungle 2 star visited New Zealand for his “My Life, Times and Current Medical Problems” tour, which he promoted by getting into bed with a female newscaster, as is New Zealand custom, I guess?

In 1973, Suzanne Rogers debuted on Days of our Lives as Maggie Simmons, an orphaned young farm woman, who was crippled. She became the love interest of amnesiac Mickey Horton (John Clarke) and, later, his wife. Over the decades, Maggie regained her ability to walk unassisted, lost custody of one daughter, adopted another, and gave birth to yet another. Also, she discovered a son she never knew she had in Daniel (Shawn Christian). Rogers won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 1978, the inaugural year of category. The actress left Days in 1984 after being diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune, neuromuscular condition that Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) also had on Empire. Rogers returned to Days a year later. In 2003, she fell victim to a cast purge when yet another serial killer swept through Salem. Also, fortunately, Maggie and all the ...

One Days of Our Lives star has made history with her 5,000th episode. The soap opera, which began airing in 1965, is one of the longest-running scripted programs in television history. Although its characters and storylines have expanded and contracted over the years, it has largely focused on the interpersonal dramas of the Brady and Horton families in the fictional town of Salem, Illinois.

As reported by Deadline, star Deidre Hall just celebrated her 5,000th episode on May 12 with a storyline where her character Dr. Marlena Evans celebrated helping 5,000 patients. The actor has been the longest-running cast member of Days of Our Lives for quite some time, with second place going to Kristian Alfonso as Hope Brady (who was played as a young woman by That '70s Show star Mila Kunis) trailing behind Hall with over 4,000 episodes. However, this achievement also makes Hall the longest-running actor in soap opera history.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan is ending with season 4, meaning it's the last chance for another major figure from the books to appear. While Jack Ryan has changed actors nearly as often as James Bond, the key difference is that Jack used to swap faces in almost every outing. On the big screen, only Harrison Ford has played the CIA analyst more than once, but with Amazon's Jack Ryan, John Krasinski has been given multiple seasons to make his mark on Clancy's most famous hero. While Jack Ryan will end with its upcoming fourth series, a spinoff fronted by Michael Peña is currently in the works.

One figure whose been noticeably absent from Jack Ryan is John Clark. Readers of Clancy's so-called "Ryanverse" will know Clark well, with the former Seal being the brawn to Ryan's brain in many novels, including Clear And Present Danger or The Sum Of All Fears...

Who's your favorite Jack Ryan? For author Tom Clancy, who created the Ryanverse and wrote or co-wrote 17 novels set within it, it wasn't Harrison Ford.

The Jack Ryan role has changed hands five times onscreen; Alec Baldwin first played the character in "The Hunt for Red October" in 1990, before Ford took over and delivered the one-two punch of "Patriot Games" and "Clear and Present Danger" in 1992 and 1994. After Ford vacated the role, a succession of younger actors — Ben Affleck, Chris Pine, and John Krasinski — would appear as the titular CIA analyst in the movies "The Sum of All Fears" and "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit," as well as the Prime Video series "Jack Ryan."

It seems "younger" was what Clancy always had in mind. According to Indiewire, Ford was director John McTiernan's first choice to play Jack Ryan in "The Hunt for Red October." However, in a 2002 interview with film...

Michael B. Jordan's Rainbow Six movie is the perfect opportunity to bring back Harrison Ford's Jack Ryan. Tom Clancy creation Ryan has been billed as something of an American everyman version of James Bond. That descriptor shouldn't imply Ryan hasn't been involved in his share of dangerous/potentially world-ending events though. Ryan's fortunes in live-action have been somewhat mixed because despite none of his movies being outright flops, audiences don't have a definitive version of the CIA analyst in mind. Jack Ryan has been played by Alec Baldwin, Chris Pine, Ben Affleck and Harrison Ford.

By virtue of being the only actor to play Ryan twice on the big screen, he's the one most associated with the part. The character of Ryan was notably absent from 2021's Without Remorse, which was a spinoff focusing on Michael B. Jordan's former Navy Seal John Clark seeking revenge for his wife's murder.

Paramount’s high-flying adaptation of Tom Clancy novel Rainbow Six has found its writers.

Daniel Fajemisin-Duncan and Marlon Smith, who co-created the 2013 British crime drama Run, has been tapped to write the action thriller that has Michael B. Jordan starring and Chad Stahelski directing.

In addition to staring, Jordan is producing with Elizabeth Raposo via the duo’s Outlier Society banner. Also producing are Akiva Goldsman and Greg Lessans via Weed Road Pictures as well as Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec through The Saw Mill.

The feature project is a follow-up to Jordan’s 2021 action vehicle, Without Remorse, with the actor once again playing Navy Seal-turned-CIA operative John Clark. One of Clancy’s more popular characters, Clark appeared in the late author’s Jack Ryan spy books and also headlined two novels, Without Remorse and Rainbow Six, with the latter spawning a line of video games.

Executive producing are Stahelski,...

Aside from having his name put on many video games, military fiction mainstay Tom Clancy is known for creating Jack Ryan. Starring in more than 30 novels, Jack is the ultimate defender of American interests and values who uses his deep understanding of politics to save the day.

The character returned in Amazon’s Jack Ryan, but it's a unique Clancy adaptation that doesn’t adapt any of his books. While spiritually faithful, there’s a lot about Jack that the show – and the movies, as well – leave out. With Krasinski the fifth man to play the Tom Clancy hero, there will almost surely be a sixth in the future and possibly more as the popularity of the hero remains high. However, in neither the movies nor the TV show, the actual reach of Jack Ryan in the world inside his fiction has never been fully reached. There is still a...

Michael B. Jordan is ready for another tour of duty. After surviving the 2021 revenge rampage Without Remorse, Jordan’s character John Clark will have to learn to be part of a team. The next movie in Jordan’s ClanceyVerse is Tom Clancey’s Rainbow Six, and it’s got a director equipped to helm a film about a one-man…...

Back in 2018, when we first learned that Michael B. Jordan would be playing Tom Clancy character John Clark in a movie based on Without Remorse, there was talk that the development schedule also included another big Clark-featuring novel, Rainbow Six. Paramount is now pressing ahead with the follow-up film, and Chad Stahelski is now on board to direct Jordan in the project.

Rainbow Six sees Clark commanding a multi-country anti-terrorist squad and facing off against a huge conspiracy plotting to wipe out most of humanity for the sake of the planet. But we don't yet know how much of the story will port over to the new film. Without Remorse made some changes, so we'd expect that to carry over.

And unlike Remorse, Paramount is currently thinking that Rainbow Six will hit cinemas. Quite when is anyone's guess, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, this could well be Stahelski's next film.

John Wick‘s Chad Stahelski is locked and loaded for Paramount‘s adaptation of Rainbow Six starring Michael B. Jordan. Details about the plot remain in shadow. Still, we’ve got word Stahelski is directing the film based on Tom Clancy’s extensive military franchise. Paramount Pictures is still determining if Rainbow Six will debut in theaters or on Paramount+. Jordan is reprising his role as the CIA operations officer and former Navy Seal, John Clark, born John Terrance Kelley. Jordan’s Clark was featured in 2021’s Without Remorse, directed by Stefano Sollima.

Jordan and Elizabeth Raposo produce through Outlier Society, with Akiva Goldsman and Greg Lessans for Weed Road Pictures and Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec for The Saw Mill. Finally, Stahelski, Jason Spitz, and Alex Young executive produce via 87Eleven Entertainment.

Stahelski is one of Hollywood’s busiest filmmakers. In addition to launching John Wick: Chapter 4 in March,...

Michael B. Jordan is returning to the world of Tom Clancy, and director Chad Stahelski is coming with him. Stahelski will direct Jordan in Paramount's Rainbow Six, a sequel to 2021's Without Remorse. News of the film which will be based on Clancy's 1998 book Rainbow Six, comes from The Hollywood Reporter. Jordan will reprise his role as John Clark, an ex-Navy Seal turned CIA operative who now leads the titular multi-national counterterrorism strike force Rainbow.

Michael B. Jordan's Rainbow Six movie officially moves forward after getting John Wick director Chad Stahelski. Paramount announced plans for a new action franchise starring Michael B. Jordan a few years ago that would see him play John Clark, a character made famous through Tom Clancy's books and future video game adaptations. Without Remorse was released on Prime Video in 2021 due to Paramount's concerns about the pandemic negatively impacting the film's box office potential. It was envisioned to be the first of two movies starring Michael B. Jordan's John Clark, with plans for a Rainbow Six sequel in the works from early on.

Now over 18 months after Without Remorse's release, Paramount has found a director for Rainbow Six in John Wick's Chad Stahelski. The news comes from THR as Stahelski is putting the finishing touches on John Wick: Chapter 4 and appears to be looking for...

The next big Tom Clancy adaptation has found its director. Chad Stahleski, director and stunt coordinator best known for helming all three "John Wick" movies plus the upcoming sequel, has signed on to direct "Rainbow Six" according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Rainbow Six" is set to be the second Clancy adaptation starring Michael B. Jordan, after 2021's "Without Remorse."

Action-savvy filmmaker Stahleski's participation should hopefully breathe some life into a franchise that so far hasn't made the impact one might expect from the "Ryanverse," Clancy's extensive literary world that features Jack Ryan along with Jordan's character, John Clark. "Without Remorse" was originally scheduled for a theatrical release, but ended up moving to Prime Video, where it failed to stand out in a sea of political thrillers and action-heavy shows. In /Film's review, Josh Spiegel called the first film "a bland throwback to the late 1980s and early 1990s," with a "uniformly pedestrian script.

Chad Stahelski (John Wick franchise) has been tapped to direct the Tom Clancy adaptation Rainbow Six for Paramount Pictures, Deadline can confirm.

Details as to the plot of the film, starring Michael B. Jordan, are under wraps. But it marks the studio’s follow-up to the actioner Without Remorse, which went to Amazon for distribution in April 2021, following the Covid pandemic’s throwing of theatrical into disarray. While it’s not yet clear whether the new film will go to theatrical or streaming, Jordan reprises his role as the CIA operations officer and former Navy Seal, John Clark.

Producers are Jordan and Elizabeth Raposo for Outlier Society, Akiva Goldsman and Greg Lessans for Weed Road Pictures, and Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec for The Saw Mill. Stahelski, Jason Spitz and Alex Young will exec produce for 87Eleven Entertainment.

Stahelski launched his career as a stuntman and stunt coordinator before making...

It has taken years to make, but it appears that Tom Clancy’s “Rainbow Six” is finally moving toward production as a feature film. With the prequel, “Without Remorse,” doing seemingly good business for Paramount and Amazon when it was released in 2021, the sequel film not only sees the return of Michael B. Jordan as John Clark, a counterterrorism expert and overall badass, but it also serves as filmmaker Chad Stahelski’s introduction into the Clancyverse franchise.

The film is the follow-up to 2021 action thriller “Without Remorse.” Jordan will reprise his character John Clark from “Without Remorse.” The plot is currently being kept under wraps.

Warning: Spoilers for Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan season 3 ahead.

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan season 3 continued the franchise's philosophy of having the titular character's intelligence be central to his personality, but only one screen iteration of the five to date can be considered the smartest. Although Jack Ryan seasons 1 through 3 had Ryan (John Krasinski) facing various missions mirroring those confronted by the CIA analyst in Tom Clancy’s books, previous adaptations of Clancy’s novels proved more faithful to the original material. However, all Ryan versions across film and TV brought to life a different part of the character, becoming iconic in their way.

Before reaching the small screen with Amazon Prime's Jack Ryan, the analyst appeared in various spy thrillers that adapted Clancy’s earliest novels for cinema audiences. Alec Baldwin’s version of Jack Ryan was the first, in 1990’s The Hunt for Red October, introducing audiences...

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan!

Mike November, played by Michael Kelly, is one of the most popular characters in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan - but did the author actually create him? The Amazon Prime series is considered one of the best adaptations of Tom Clancy's most popular character, with actor John Krasinski playing the titular role throughout the series' three seasons. Mike November first debuted in season 2 of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, and the character's prominence throughout seasons 2 and 3 have led some viewers to wonder if he is from Tom Clancy's books.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan follows the titular ex-Marine on various missions as a CIA analyst, many of which are in the same vein as other popular adaptations of the beloved character. Season 1 follows Jack Ryan as he uncovers a terrorist ring while investigating fraudulent bank transfers, while Jack Ryan season 2 follows Ryan investigating weapons dealings between Venezuela and Russia.

Warning: Spoilers for Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Season 3Jack Ryan (John Krasinski) sees plenty of action in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan season 3, and one of his missions subtly hints at the upcoming reported spinoff, Rainbow Six, which will star Michael Peña as another Clancy hero, Domingo "Ding" Chavez. In season 3, Jack Ryan is on the run after uncovering a Russian plan to use a nuclear weapon to start a war with the United States, as well as stage a coup against the Russian government. Jack calls upon James Greer (Wendell Pierce) and Mike November (Michael Kelly) for backup as the CIA chases him around Europe.

Tom Clancy's universe is currently thriving on Amazon Prime Video. Although there hasn't been a Jack Ryan film since 2014's Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit starring Chris Pine and Keira Knightley didn't make much of an impact, the John Krasinski-led Jack Ryan TV series has...

The announcement that a Jack Ryan spinoff is currently in the works could mean an adaptation of the iconic Rainbow Six could be on its way. After it was revealed (via Deadline) that the Amazon series would end after season 4, it was also confirmed that Michael Peña would lead a spinoff as Domingo ‘Ding’ Chavez. The character has played a major role in dozens of Tom Clancy novels and has partnered with both Ryan and John Clark several times. Peña is set to appear as Chavez in the third season, alongside John Krasinski as Ryan, and his inclusion hints at the potential future of this iteration of the Ryanverse.

Domingo ‘Ding’ Chavez has been affiliated with several military and governmental groups throughout Clancy’s book series and has already appeared in a rebooted live action Jack Ryan movie. Originally a soldier in the United States Army, he excelled in stealth...

We now have our first look at Creed star Michael B. Jordan in the highly anticipated Amazon exclusive Tom Clancy's Without Remorse. The newly released trailer for the project introduces audiences to Jordan as John Clark, a Navy Seal who ends up entangled in a massive conspiracy while trying to avenge the murder of his wife.

An elite Navy Seal uncovers an international conspiracy while seeking justice for the murder of his pregnant wife in Tom Clancy's Without Remorse, the explosive origin story of action hero John Clark - one of the most popular characters in author Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan universe. When a squad of Russian soldiers kills his family in retaliation for his role in a top-secret op, Sr. Chief John Kelly (Michael B. Jordan) pursues the assassins at all costs. Joining forces with a fellow Seal (Jodie Turner-Smith) and a shadowy CIA agent (Jamie Bell), Kelly's...

Days of Our Lives is not going anywhere. The network has renewed its longest-running series for a 56th season, I have learned. I hear Days executive producer Ken Corday of Corday Prods., which produces the daytime drama, just delivered the news to the cast.

NBC and Sony TV had no comment. though I had been hearing for the lastpweek or so that renewal was “looking good.” According to sources, the deal with the network is not completely done but is close.

The pickup comes 10 days after word got out that the entire cast of NBC’s daytime soap had been released from their contracts.

The cost-cutting move came during the annual renewal window between NBC and Days distributor Sony Pictures TV; a renewal for Days typically comes at the start of the year. Negotiations for another season of the show on NBC, which had been underway, likely got accelerated by...
