When "Wicked" dropped last winter, conversations about the movie's performances understandably focused on Cynthia Erivo's show-stopping screen presence as Elphaba and Ariana Grande's fine-tuned take on Glinda. The two deserved to be the center of attention, but now that "Wicked" fever has cooled ever so slightly (and Grande and Erivo have both been nominated for Oscars), it's only fair to obsess a bit over some of the movie's many other great casting decisions. Among the best? Olivier Award-winning actor Jonathan Bailey as the popular, initially shallow object of both witches' affections, Fiyero.

The Fiyero role has long-since been a key one in productions of "Wicked," with everyone from Taye Diggs to Aaron Tveit to Adam Lambert taking a crack at the part at one time or another (Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz originated the role in 2003). Bailey, who has tons of stage experience and several star-making TV roles under his belt,...

A new synopsis for The Winchesters' season 1 finale is teasing John and Mary's reunion. The prequel series, set in the 1970s, tracks the relationship between John Winchester and Mary Campbell, from early chance encounter to budding romance. Narrated by Supernatural's Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles), the show also explores the mystery surrounding their missing fathers, and their efforts to hunt down dangerous monsters known as the Akrida. Drake Rodger and Meg Donnelly star as John and Mary, respectively, and are joined by a cast that includes Nida Khurshid, Jojo Fleites, Demetria McKinney, and Bianca Kajlich.

John and Mary have faced a lot so far, and with two more episodes before the finale, it is unclear how The Winchesters season 1 will pan out. Now, a synopsis for The Winchesters' season 1 finale is teasing the importance of time, as well as an "awkward" reunion between the pair. The episode, directed by John Showalter,...

Warning! Spoilers for The Winchesters season 1, episode 7The Winchesters showrunner Robbie Thompson breaks down that surprising Akrida development in episode 7. The spinoff of Supernatural turns the focus to John and Mary, played respectively by Drake Rodger and Meg Donnelly, long before they came the parents of Sam and Dean. But while the series examines their love story more closely, and the relationship they had with their own parents, the characters have had to contend with a dangerous threat known as the Akrida. And, as it went into its midseason finale, The Winchesters delivered an intriguing cliffhanger.

The Winchesters episode 7, titled "Reflections", and directed by Supernatural alum Richard Speight, Jr., sees the spinoff's heroic monster hunters continuing their plans to stop the Akrida. They know that their best hope of stopping the villain is to take out its queen, then the rest will fall. However, they fail because they incorrectly identify the queen,...

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Winchesters season 1 episode 3.The showrunner of The Winchesters reveals that the love story between John and Mary Winchester will have more speed bumps along the way. The series is a prequel to the popular CW show Supernatural, which ran for 15 seasons from 2005 through 2020. Executive produced and narrated by Supernatural star Jensen Ackles, the show follows the parents of Supernatural's lead characters Sam and Dean Winchester. The Winchesters takes place in the 1970s as John Winchester (Drake Rodger) and Mary Campbell (Meg Donnelly) meet and begin to fight monsters while searching for their missing fathers.

Although so far The Winchesters has shown John and Mary having an almost instant connection, the most recent episode (episode 3 "You're Lost Little Girl") threw a few wrenches into the works. These wrenches come in the form of two potential alternative love interests. First, they revealed that John's...

Disney stars Dove Cameron and Thomas Doherty make such a sweet couple that it's hard to imagine a time when they weren't together. You might have even forgot Dove used to be engaged to someone else. Before she and Thomas connected on the set of Descendants 2 in late 2016, Dove was in a relationship with her Liv and Maddie costar Ryan McCartan, whom she dated for about three years before he popped the question in April 2016. Unfortunately, less than six months later, the two decided to go their separate ways, and by December, Dove was igniting romance rumors with a new suitor.

"I think people see her as so talented - because obviously that's her job, to perform and all the rest of it - but she's the most compassionate and the most patient and the most genuine, loving person I've ever met. And so kind and so generous. She's amazing. She really is."

Thomas continued attesting to Dove's kindhearted nature, adding, "She's so lovely. She doesn't have a bad bone in her body." He then revealed that they'll soon celebrate their third anniversary with "loads and loads of donuts and pizza."
