ITV Coronation Street star quits soap and has already filmed final scenes

A Coronation Street actor who has appeared in numerous Coronation Street episodes announced that their final episode would air this week before their character’s final scene.

A Corrie actor has announced their departure from the program.

A Coronation Street actor has announced that they have already filmed their final scenes for the soap opera. They shared the news with fans on social media just a few days ago ahead of their “very last” episode having now aired this week.

Scott Anson has played Reece Bolton on the ITV show since the character made his debut in 2022. He has appeared in more than 20 episodes since then. The actor however announced on Instagram recently that his last episode would air on Wednesday night, with his character making a return.

Reece was first introduced three years ago as a member of a far-right extremist gang led by Michael Condron (played by Michael Condron). Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) and Max Turner (Paddy Bever) were among the group’s grooming duties.

Reece has appeared on occasion in recent years and eventually ended up in prison. He and Laurent met him last year, and he later returned to his home country to take part in the plot of his daughter’s disappearance. Since then, he has returned this year.

Sharing another account’s post about his return, which included photos from a scene, Scott wrote in a post on Instagram this week: “Catch my very last ep as Reece Bolton.”

After receiving a package for her son Frankie Bolton, which contained a letter, Lauren visited her father Reece in prison following a scene from Wednesday night’s broadcast. Later, Reece revealed that he had given him a kangaroo teddy.

Lauren responded, “Yep, all received. It was delivered to the baby bank. She continued, “You know, I look at Frankie and I see everything I missed out on.” by the way, that is pretty much everything.

Reece said, “If I were that terrible, I don’t know why you bothered coming,” as she recalls her childhood. I told you straight away that I don’t want you to be near Frankie, Lauren responded. You’re going to deprive him of a loving grandad, her father said. I’m going to keep him away from a racist pervert, Laurence said in response.

Reece later claimed that Lauren’s biological father was not her biological father and that she is “building a family” and has friends who “have got her back.” She continued, “Bye, Reece,” as she left him behind in prison. You are unaware of what you have missed out on.

Scott made fun of the fact that Scott would start reprising his role earlier this year. The actor captioned a photo of himself in a dressing room on February 14 and said, “I just love being bad.”

Scott was seated at a desk and was seen taking a photo in a mirror. On the table next to the script was a mug with the ITV logo on it along with other items.

Then, last month, he shared a photo that showed the blue jumper, grey pants, and yellow vest that his prisoner character wore. They had the tag “Reece” on them. Coming soon, Scott wrote in the March 14 caption.

In the midst of a worrying battle with a condition that left a severe facial disfigurement, Brandi Glanville was taken to the hospital. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills actress, who had to call the emergency services after being unable to move her neck and head for extended periods of time, revealed she had to call the emergency services.

The 52-year-old actress claimed she was unable to fall asleep during the worrying moment. She shared images of herself in a hospital bed that she had been receiving drips.

My head and neck wouldn’t move for four hours this morning, she wrote on the social media platform. I was unable to leave my bed.

After sitting in a wheelchair in the waiting room for four hours, I dialed 911 and had a wonderful ride in the ambulance.

Brandi shared a picture of herself in a hospital on Instagram.

She responded, “I hate this place, but it needs another fun ambulance bill.”

Fans expressed their concern for the actor right away. How are you today, Brandi Glanville, one user wrote? for you ! For you, I can’t imagine how terrifying that was. I sincerely hope you are improving and receiving answers.

Another was added, “Prayers that you can find answers and a resolution,” which was then “followed by praying and love heart emojis.” I pray that soon there will be answers and healing, said another third.

Brandi had revealed a week prior that her facial disfigurement issue had improved, but the latest health concern comes one week after her disclosure. She acknowledged that the issue was also bringing on a number of health problems.

She took to the platform and said to her followers, “My face produces a clear plaque like oily wax all day.”

It “drains down,” eroding my teeth. I have two hard lumps under my left cheekbone that I can’t see and am unable to see. 1 on the jawbone and 1 on the back of the neck. I need a doctor who specializes in infectious diseases. HELP”.

She claims to have spent $70,000 to date on improvements. She acknowledged that she is being affected by the situation entirely.

She claimed that she had been “faking it” when she put on a brave favorite. She claims that she has been “f***ing miserable” in reality.

On X, she stated, “My face is worse than ever.” It has essentially vanished.

Last Thursday, a user also inquired about Brandi’s biopsy report. No cancer, the singer responded, “Fingers crossed, but the cultures take six weeks to grow.”

A doctor claimed Brandi told him the entire saga had been painful and sad for her in an interview with TMZ late on December. She was alleged to be moving around a “parasite” around her face.

Dr. Terry Dubrow said at the time that she would meet the reality star to help her understand the root issue.

Kobe Bryant’s jersey, which he wore on his 1996 NBA debut, sold for $7 million ($5.26 million).

Bryant’s rookie 1996-1997 game-worn jersey ranks as the fourth-most expensive game-worn sports jersey ever.

The American won five NBA championships and was named the Most Valuable Player in 2008, earning him the honor for his entire career with the Lakers.

Seven years prior to Bryant and his daughter Gianna’s tragic death in a helicopter crash, the jersey was first sold for $115, 242.

The most expensive sports memorabilia item sold at auction is still Babe Ruth’s “called shot” jersey, which sold for $ 24 million in August.

The $ 9.1 million spent on Michael Jordan’s “Last Dance” jersey from his final season with the Chicago Bulls is next on the list, followed by the $ 8.8 million that Diego Maradona spent on the “Hand of God” shirt worn during Argentina’s 1986 World Cup quarter-final victory against England.

On November 3, 1996, Bryant made his NBA debut against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

He was named an all-star 18 times throughout his 20-year career, including 18 times in his rookie season.

Blake Lively sparks outrage as she’s told she ‘shouldn’t be at TIME 100 gala’

Although Blake Lively was present at the TIME 100 all-star gala in New York City on Thursday night, she was not everyone’s favorite to see her there.

At the TIME100 gala on Thursday night, Blake Lively found herself in Megyn Kelly’s firing line. The Gossip Girl actress, who was named one of TIME’s Most Influential People, also attended the event in New York City.

Despite her husband Ryan Reynolds not being featured on the list, he joined the It Ends With Us actress for the glittering occasion. Ryan looked dapper in a suave tuxedo, while Blake glowed in a red gown.

Despite her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, Megyn Kelly publicly criticized Blake’s inclusion on the prestigious list. The former Fox News host made the unflinching claim that Blake “shouldn’t be here” on the red carpet of the gala.

In a further swipe at the actress, Kelly accused her of “b******iz[ing] Me Too allegations” due to her sexual harassment lawsuit against It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin, who has strongly refuted the claims, reports the Mirror US.

Following Blake’s initial lawsuit, Justin responded by filing a $ 400 million defamation lawsuit against her, her publicist, and Ryan Reynolds, all of whom have refuted the allegations. Additionally, Justin has filed a $ 250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times for their coverage of Blake’s allegations.

It’s a ridiculous joke, I tell you. She shouldn’t be here, Megyn claimed, making reference to Blake.

She’s lived to regret making a fake Me Too claim against [Justin], she said, adding that almost every one of her accusations has been discredited.

It’s scandalous for her to be honored for trying to ruin a man for doing that, Megyn claimed.

While she didn’t hold back in criticising Blake, Megyn also quipped that she was actually looking forward to snapping a selfie with Blake and even Meghan Markle “in the distance”, as they’ve given her “so many hours of content.”

Despite Blake’s recent legal issues, Megyn has previously found herself in a similar situation.

Megyn told investigators that Roger Ailes, her former Fox News boss, had sexually harassed her, according to the Daily Mail.

In the 2019 film Bombshell, the conservative commentator’s ordeal was depicted along with the experiences of other prominent female anchors and reporters at Fox News.

In the film Bombshell, Charlize Theron reprised Megyn’s role.

Elsewhere at the lavish event in New York on Thursday, Nicole Scherzinger stunned in a glamorous sequin gown. The former Pussycat Dolls singer turned heads as she flaunted her toned figure in the sequin number.

A stunning glittery skirt and train completed the off-the-shoulder look with a velvet and satin top. A chunky gold and diamond bracelet was elegantly paired with it.

Pope Francis’s funeral to be less costly than his predecessors’

The Roman Catholic Church is preparing to lay him to rest as hundreds of thousands of mourners gather around the world to mark his passing, even though his funeral costs are likely to be significantly less than those of his predecessors.

The faithful can pay their respects by placing Francis’ body in St. Peter’s Basilica since Wednesday. Donald Trump’s funeral, which is scheduled for Saturday morning, is also expected to be attended by world leaders, including US President.

Francis requested a more modest burial than his predecessors. He made a change to the customary three-coffin burial customs of 2024, which included two made of cypress and oak and one made of lead, one inside the other. Popes can now be interred in a single coffin made of wood and lined with zinc in accordance with the new regulations. According to Francis’ wishes, the rule change also permits burial outside the Vatican.

He had requested a simple burial in the ground at the Basilica of St. Mary Major, a church outside the Vatican’s walls. Francis will be the first pope to be interred outside the Vatican since the 1600s and the first in more than 100 years.

Francis was renowned for adopting a modest lifestyle when he became papacy in 2013. The pope, who was born in Argentina, frequently traveled in modest vehicles and chose to reside in the Vatican guest house rather than the lavish Apostolic Palace.

He “always was more enthusiastic about visiting places where regular people lived, not the palaces, the halls of power, and so on.” That was very typical of him, according to Massimo Faggioli, a professor of theology and religious studies at Villanova University in Pennsylvania.

Francis stated in his final will and testament that an unnamed benefactor would pay for his burial and would send it to Santa Maria Maggiore’s Papal Basilica.

Because in Catholicism, symbols are very significant, and this is one of those situations, Faggioli continued.

The financial woes of Vatican loom large.

The Vatican has kept a tight-lipped about Francis’s funeral’s specific costs, but it has not responded to inquiries for information.

Papal funerals have historically cost millions of dollars. The Vatican lost $20 million in 1978, or more than $101 million today, as a result of the pope’s deaths and subsequent conclave. More recently, Pope Benedict XVI’s election and Pope John Paul II’s funeral in 2005 cost $9 million (roughly $14.7 million in current dollars).

The Church made $ 12.4 million in revenue that year from a tourist influx to its museums. Donations, stocks, bonds, real estate, and other investments are additional sources of income.

However, the Church has experienced significant financial strain in recent years. Just three days before his hospitalization in late February, Francis frequently fought with cardinals about church finances. He was the author of numerous financial reforms, some of which caused backlash, including slashing executive pay.

According to two sources with knowledge of the situation, the Church experienced a $87 million budget deficit just last year, according to Reuters news agency. Since 2022, the Vatican has not released a full budget.

Because this church is much bigger, the Vatican needs money, and it needs money. There are fewer Catholics in wealthy nations as a result of the service it provides to many more people in poor nations. And so the imbalance originates, according to Faggioli.

Rome is a city of crowds.

Due to Holy Week, which attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors, the city of Rome and the Vatican in particular, was already crowded.

Tens of thousands have already paid their respects to Francis’s passing or to attend the public viewing of his body, though it is still unknown how many will do so.

The crowds have been sizable in the past. In 1978, an estimated 100, 000 people gathered to mourn Paul VI. Pope John Paul II’s funeral service in Rome in 2005 reportedly attracted four million mourners. In contrast, Pope Benedict’s funeral was attended by an estimated 50, 000 people in St. Peter’s Square in January 2023, with more than 136, 000 people watching it on the Vatican’s YouTube livestream as the Church added the option for recent papal funerals for those who won’t be in Rome.
