Get ready to have tissues ready, like, every episode, like how only This Is Us can do to its viewing audience. The fourth season of the Pearson family drama kicks-off tonight at 9ET/8CT on NBC,.
Look for the relationship between Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Miguel (John Huertas) and Miguel’s friendship with the late Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) to be explored. In the season premiere, Jack is in need of a sports coat so he can look presentable when he meets Rebecca’s parents for the first time at the country club especially after his time in Vietnam. It looks like it may be Miguel to the rescue; who helps him for this important moment for Jack and Rebecca.
New characters will be introduced in an episode entitled “Strangers”. We will learn that a young Rebecca was a bit of a daddy’s girl ….and as viewers saw at the end of episode 3, Rebecca is also nearing the end of her life. How will that play out as the season progresses?
Elsewhere look for plenty of time-jumps, flashbacks, present day and flash-forwards which had all become a staple of the series.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Nina’s Guilty Conscience Ruin a Marriage Proposal From Sonny?
May 22, 2023
This week on General Hospital, Sonny (Maurice Benard) has a marriage proposal for Nina (Cynthia Watros). However, she’s feeling the walls may be closing in on her when she regrets her actions against Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Carly (Laura Wright). As GH viewers know, she had turned them into the SEC for insider trading as a revenge-tactic against Carly.
In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Sonny (Maurice Benard) is set to take a big step and ask Nina to marry him. This, comes on the heels of Nina bowing out of attending Michael (Chad Duell) and Willow’s (Katelyn MacMullen) wedding, to keep the peace in the family, and letting him attend alone.
On the latest developments, Maurice Benard shared with SOD on the marriage proposal: “It’s not an immediate yes from Nina. I think because she’s already done the bad deed (of calling the SEC). She’s trying to get out of it, so she doesn’t dig herself deeper.”
Previewing Sonny’s profession of love to Nina, the three-time Daytime Emmy winner said of the upcoming scenes: “That was my job as an actor, to convince her in this monologue that, ‘I don’t care about what you’ve done.’ He doesn’t care about anything but her, ‘and I love you, and let’s do this.'”
As to how he thinks Sonny’s proposal to Nina stacks up with others in his GH career, “I’m not saying this is the best, but I am saying it’s up there with the best that I’ve had.”
Of course, what will happen if Sonny finds out what Nina did to Carly with the SEC insider trading deception? Stay tuned.

Y&R’s Sharon Champagne Mystery Gift Will Soon Be Her Worst Nightmare. Who Is Watching Her?
May 21, 2023
You know it’s going to be ‘Creepsville’ when you receive a bottle of champagne with a stain of blood on it and a card that goes with the gift that says, “Memories are what life is made of”. Cue all of the speculation for The Young and the Restless Sharon Case (Sharon) and her new storyline.
It’s been a minute since the character has been front-burner, but this storyline really kicking off this week on the CBS soap opera, will put the now Daytime Emmy-nominated Case in an intense and dramatic story.

If you saw Friday’s episode of Y&R, you know that Sharon received a champagne bottle as a supposed gift, but has no idea who sent it to her. Meanwhile, lurking outside of Crimson Lights is someone keeping tabs on her.
The rumors are running rampant, and it would seem to be on track, with fans of Y&R believing that the diabolical Cameron Kirsten is back and will terrorize Sharon some decades later. The character last appeared on the soap opera back in August of 2004. Add to the fact that Kirsten’s portrayer, Linden Ashby is married in real life to Susan Walters, who plays Diane Jenkins on the series, it all makes sense.

For a bit of a walk down memory lane: Cameron Kirsten had sex with Sharon in a hotel room and then beat her. Later, he turned up in Genoa City threatening her if she didn’t meet him for a hook-up. On one fateful New Year’s eve, Kirsten tried to rape Sharon. She bashed him over the head with, wait for it, a champagne bottle in self defense. Poor Sharon then had to dispose of his body. However, eventually, he turned up alive and then ended up behind bars. Smart money is he is out of jail and coming back to GC with his eye on making Sharon’s life a living hell.
During the Michael Fairman Channel’s Daytime Emmy Nomination Special 2023, Case revealed she was working hard on a ‘big’ new storyline. She also had admitted she couldn’t say with who, because at the time they hadn’t aired yet.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Y&R’s EP and head writer, Josh Griffith teased: “Sharon decides to throw out the champagne bottle thinking this will put an end to her uneasy feelings. Little does she know this gift is just the beginning of a very wild ride.:
Check out the previews for this week’s Y&Rm and a key scene from last Friday’s episode below.
Now let us know, do you think it will be revealed that Cameron Kirsten is stalking Sharon? Share your theories via the comment section.
‘American Idol’ Season 21 Finale Preview: Who Should Win … Colin Stough, Megan Danielle or Iam Tongi?
May 21, 2023
It could be a nail-biter for tonight’s three finalists to be named the next American Idol. ABC has planned a live coast-to-coast, three-hour season finale event featuring special performances from music legends and today’s top artists. Meanwhile, the Top 3 contestants take the stage for the final time competing for America’s vote.
Now, while it has appeared that the biggest pop and fan reaction in-studio has consistently belonged to Iam Tongi, that doesn’t mean that Colin Stough or Megan Danielle don’t have a chance! Over the years, viewers have seen the nationwide vote, not match up with the predicted winner.

On Sunday night’s May 21st season finale (beginning at 8 p.m. EST), in addition to this year’s top 12 returning to the stage one last time, Keith Urban, Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken, Ellie Goulding, Jelly Roll, Pitbull, TLC, James Blunt, Jazmine Sullivan, REO Speedwagon’s Kevin Cronin, Kylie Minogue, Lainey Wilson and Lauren Daigle, plus Idol hosts, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie, are all said to be performing.
Let’s take a look at the Top 3 vying for the title:
COLIN STOUGH

This southern ‘good ole’ boy and young man loves his momma, and he has made that quite clear during his performances. Stough’s gritty voice and his stellar performance of Robyn’s Dancing on My Own, could make this a second year in a row that America voted for the singer who was most ‘rough around the edges’ performing-wise, but won their hearts, think Noah Thompson, ya’ll!
MEGAN DANIELLE

Clearly, the vocalist of all vocalists of the top singers that remained in the competition. She has the raspy alto that has made her unique, and loves her country and gospel tunes. Her own personal idol, Lauren Daigle, who showed up during her Idol audition, is on tonight’s line-up. So, stand by for a duet between the two. Meanwhile, last week’s performance on ‘Disney Night’ of You Can’t Stop The Girl, truly showed her vocal chops in the most magnificent way.
IAM TONGI

Throughout the competition, Tongi’s silky smooth vocals and heartfelt simplistic renditions of popular songs, have grabbed the attention of the judged and America from the start. The loss of his father, and the man who gave him, his now famous guitar, has been one of the major storylines of the season. Tongi’s audition of James Blunt’s Monsters brought Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie to tears. Throughout the season, Tongi has been the most consistent performer.
Now, let us know in the comment section below if Colin, Megan or Iam should be named the next ‘American Idol’ on tonight’s season finale.
