In 2021, The Bold and the Beautiful's Matthew Atkinson (Thomas) posted a few photos with his dad and explained that he showed his father how thankful he was for him 'by dragging him out for four days off the grid with tons of dirt, sleeping on the ground and rocky trails that beat you senseless.'

Little General Hospital sweetheart Jophielle Love (ex-Violet) also shared a photo with her dad and her older brothers Raphael Luce and Gabriel Sky, who both happen to be young actors as well. Fun fact: Gabriel actually appeared in a couple of day-player roles on General Hospital back in 2019.

Amazon Prime Video Cancels Critically Acclaimed Series After One Season
Subscribers are upset with a decision from Amazon Prime Video to cancel a critically acclaimed series after one season. The hit series, which combined both comedy and drama, has been axed without any plans for a second season even though the initial order called for one. This surprising turn of events was shared in a new report. While a second season for the series was part of the initial order made in 2023, those orders aren't always guaranteed, and it appears that the evaluation process convinced the platform not to move forward with this series. The critically-acclaimed series was quite costly due to its filming locations in New York and Paris as well as the hiring of numerous top ballet dancers. Unfortunately, the acclaim wasn't enough, as the series didn't reach high enough numbers on Amazon Prime's streaming categories. In fact, viewership quickly declined, making it a seemingly easy decision for Amazon to cancel the series without a renewal. As shared by Deadline: 'Prime Video is not proceeding with a second season of Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino's ballet dramedy series, Deadline has learned. The streamer and Amazon MGM Studios will continue to support the series' Emmy campaign in the comedy categories.' The series, titled Étoile , is said to have been axed as a result of 'performance vs. cost.' The series, which was co-created by Sherman-Palladino as a result of her ballet background, includes eight episodes revolving around the dancers and artistic staff at two world-renowned ballet companies in New York and Paris. As a result, the first season now ends on a cliffhanger, leaving a serious reminder for television viewers that it's extremely disappointing when their favorite shows don't receive the conclusions they deserve. While there is no second season of Étoile , Amazon Prime subscribers can still view what episodes were produced for the series if they so desire. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional Amazon Prime and television updates as we have them.

James Gunn on Marvel Studios' Content Overload: 'That Wasn't Fair. It Wasn't Right. And It Killed Them.' — GeekTyrant
DC Studios co-chief James Gunn is no stranger to Marvel's universe, having played a major role in shaping it with his Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. But now, as he builds DC's cinematic future, Gunn is reflecting on where things may have gone wrong for Marvel, and he doesn't think it's entirely their fault. While Marvel has been criticized for flooding audiences with content, Gunn offered a more sympathetic take during a recent interview with Rolling Stone. 'I don't even know if it's really their fault,' Gunn said, adding that a Marvel executive admitted privately that they 'put out too much stuff.' When asked whether Disney was behind the push, Gunn didn't mince words: 'That wasn't fair. It wasn't right. And it killed them.' Marvel's content surge wasn't just a matter of creative enthusiasm, we all know that it was corporate-driven. As Marvel's Head of Streaming Brad Winderbaum previously said, the mandate from Disney was clear: 'create as much as we could for Disney Plus as quickly as we could.' The results were uneven at best, leading to franchise fatigue and underwhelming box office returns, even for projects that might've succeeded with more breathing room. But Gunn doesn't plan to repeat those mistakes at DC Studios. He said: 'We don't have the mandate to have a certain amount of movies and TV shows every year. 'So we're going to put out everything that we think is of the highest quality. We're obviously going to do some good things and some not-so-good things, but hopefully on average everything will be as high-quality as possible.' He also made it clear that nothing gets the green light without his personal stamp of approval: 'Nothing goes before there's a screenplay that I personally am happy with.' Marvel, for its part, appears to be recalibrating. Disney CEO Bob Iger has publicly embraced a 'quality over quantity' approach, and with The Fantastic Four: First Steps set to lead the charge this summer, there's cautious optimism for a return to form. Meanwhile, Gunn's DC Universe kicks off this July with Superman , followed by Peacemaker Season 2. After that, it'll be Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in 2026.
