Reece Dinsdale made a name for himself as one of Emmerdale's dastardly baddies when he joined the ITV soap as Paul Ashdale in April 2020. However, after a harrowing addiction and abuse storyline involving Mandy (Lisa Riley) and Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson), Paul was killed off in an explosion on his wedding day.

Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) is know for her outlandish behaviour and willingness to put anyone who steps out of line in their place. It's therefore no surprise that the actress has been inundated with requests from Emmerdale fans suggesting she "kill Meena." The psychopathic nurse – played by Paige Sandhu – has been at the centre of most of the drama in the ITV soap since she pushed Leanna Cavanagh (Mimi Slinger) off a bridge and murdered her.

Crissy Rock discussed her career fears in an interview with Express.co.uk, as she admitted that she often wonders if she can keep up with the young comedians today. Last month, the actress started a whole new chapter of her career when she began touring with Cruising Through Menopause - a musical theatre production that will be traveling around the UK and Ireland for the next five months with Crissy leading the charge.Crissy, 63, is probably best known for playing Janey York in ITV’s Benidorm between 2007 and 2011. The star went on to appear in the 11th series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Met Out Of Here! in the same year she exited the show. However, the comedienne also stayed in the comedy circuit for a long time after that, making a name for herself in the stand-up world. Unfortunately, Crissy has found that age can sometimes be a barrier to success. “Sometimes I think I’ve missed the boat,” she explained.

Britain's Got Talent star has grown up a great deal since his win and subsequent performance at the Royal Variety Show in front of the Queen.Anyone who might be expecting the cute child they saw on stage years ago, he warned, could be in for a dramatic shock.The 26-year-old told Express.co.uk that it has been difficult to change people's perceptions of him since reaching adulthood."I think that's always gonna be the first thing that people say, isn't it?" he reasoned."I get it to this day, 'Oh my God, you're the little kid from Diversity'!"However, he added that anyone writing him off as the child star of 2009 will "get a little bit of a shock" when they see him."[When] I turn up or someone sees me in person...[they'll] be like 'Oh!

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson jokingly took aim at his teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold with a brutal joke about his assist against West Ham.The Reds closed the gap between themselves and Premier League leaders Manchester City to just three points with a 1-0 win over the Hammers. Senegalese winger Sadio Mane scored the all-important goal for Jurgen Klopp ’s side, tapping home from close range after Alexander-Arnold fired a fierce strike across the face of the six-yard box.

From ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ to ‘Breaking Bad,’ it seems there’s no role Bryan Cranston, 65, can’t master; and he has the Tony, Emmy, and SAG Awards to show it.

“I again want to sound an alarm that we’ve been sounding for the last month,” said Los Angeles Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.

After months of trying to communicate the devastating impact of Covid-19 to pandemic-weary Angelenos, County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer’s moment of televised emotion might have emphasized the urgency of the crisis more powerfully than the all the numbers, charts and data visualizations put together.

A Los Angeles judge has tentatively ruled that Los Angeles County acted “arbitrarily” and without “rational” justification when it ordered a closure to all outdoor dining at restaurants as a coronavirus-control measure. Superior Court Judge James Chalfant notes, however, that due to the state’s overriding regional stay-at-home order that also includes an in-person dining ban, “outdoor restaurant dining in the county cannot reopen at this time.”

“Today, Tuesday, December 1, 2020, is the worst day thus far of the COVID-19 pandemic in Los Angeles County,” said county health director Barbara Ferrer. “However, it will likely not remain the worst day of the pandemic in Los Angeles County. That will be tomorrow, and the next day and the next as cases, hospitalizations and deaths increase.” The numbers validate Ferrer’s grim words.

Roughly 50 people gathered outside the home of Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer on Sunday to protest the start of new coronavirus restrictions. The protesters called for the reopening of L.A., as tightened restrictions that prohibited gatherings and severely limited capacity at most retail establishments were set to take effect on Monday.

“We expect unfortunately, as we go into the next couple of weeks into December, that we might see a surge superimposed on top of the surge that we’re already in.” That was Dr. Anthony Fauci on Meet the Press this past Sunday. See a clip of Fauci’s comments below.
