Christina Ricci Got Through Rough Times by Talking to Birds
Christina Ricci has been drawn to dark roles and morbid plotlines since she was in elementary school. After making her debut at 9 in 'Mermaids,' Ricci has played the witch Katrina in 'Sleepy Hollow,' a haunted teen in 'Casper' and, most recently, outcast Misty Quigley in 'Yellowjackets.'
'I prefer to play complicated people because happy people don't generally do much. They're complacent,' Ricci, 45, says. The most interesting characters, she said, 'usually have to be motivated by some unhappiness or dissatisfaction.'

Which LGBTQ Non-Canon Ships Are The Best?
There are a lot of relationships in TV shows that I can't help but swoon over, and seeing their romances play out on screen just makes me get all giggly and be excited. However, for every canon couple, there are always the non-canon ones, aka the ones where two actors have such mesmerizing chemistry that fans end up shipping their characters, but they never actually get together onscreen. And, a lot of times, sadly, they are LGBTQ+–focused non-canon couples. And yes, platonic best friends do 100% exist — and those are some of my favorite relationships on TV too — but sometimes it's just undeniable the romantic chemistry. Like, Emma and Regina in Once Upon a Time. You know? So, in honor of Pride 2025, I want to know which queer non-canon ships keep you up at night and you love with your whole soul. Like, maybe you're like me, and Kara and Lena on Supergirl will always be the couple that SHOULD have happened, but just never did. Like, I think about them every day. Perhaps you're in the thick of the 9-1-1 fandom that wants Buck and Eddie's friendship to turn romantic because Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman have such electric chemistry, it would be the crime of the century if nothing romantically happens between them. Maybe you're a huge fan of Yellowjackets, namely, you cannot stop thinking about Jackie and Shauna. Like, Sophie Nélisse and Ella Purnell were so good together, and Jackie haunting the narrative is just exquisite. Heck, perhaps you want to throw it back to OG Tumblr days, where all you thought about was John and Sherlock on Sherlock, and the chemistry between Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch. So, tell us which non-canon couples in a show or movie you adore and WHY in the comments or with the Google Form below, and you could be featured in a BuzzFeed Community post!

Which LGBTQ TV And Movie Couples Have The Best Chemistry
There's a lot of incredible chemistry on TV. A good actor pairing can catapult two characters into being one of the most beloved couples in a TV show or movie. Both Lauren Ambrose and Tawny Cypress AND Liv Hewson and Jasmin Savoy Brown have made Van and Tai in Yellowjackets the best couple on the show. So, to celebrate Pride 2025, I'm once again asking which LGBTQ+ TV couples have such good chemistry that those actors should honestly win an award for "Best Chemistry." There's something so magical about Kit Connor and Joe Locke's portrayal of Nick and Charlie in Heartstopper. Maybe you're like me, and you cannot stop thinking about Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza's electric chemistry as Agatha and Rio/Death in Agatha All Along because they were simply so good together, it made you giggle and kick your feet every time they were on screen. Perhaps you haven't really moved on from how mesmerizing Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez are together in Red, White & Royal Blue because they brought Alex and Henry to life from Casey McQuiston's book perfectly. Maybe one thing you could give a presentation on is how absolutely stunning Bella Ramsey and Isabela Merced's chemistry is as Ellie and Dina in The Last of Us Season 2. Like, you probably have not stopped thinking about Season 2, Episode 4. Heck, perhaps you've told all of your friends that they NEED to watch Bottoms not only because it's hysterical but also because Ayo Edebiri and Havana Rose Liu have electric chemistry as Josie and Isabel. So, tell us which actors have the best chemistry as LGBTQ+ characters in a show or movie and WHY in the comments or with the Google Form below, and you could be featured in a BuzzFeed Community post!

Everything to Know About Wednesday's Season 2 on Netflix: From Story Lines to Returning Cast Members
Netflix's Wednesday introduced viewers to a new version of Wednesday Addams — and her story is only getting started. The series, which premiered in November 2022, explores the iconic character (Jenna Ortega) as she attempts to master her psychic powers at Nevermore Academy while dealing with a killing spree at the hands of a mysterious monster. The series also starred Christina Ricci, who famously rose to stardom playing Wednesday in the '90s films The Addams Family and Addams Family Values. Her character, Marilyn Thornhill, was revealed to be one of the season's villains, Laurel Gates, who sought revenge against Nevermore Academy for her family's failed attempts to take down outcasts Following season 1's premiere, creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough opened up about how they mapped out the rest of the series. "For us, it's always looking at the future, and when we sit down to create a show, it's looking at multiple seasons, ideally," they explained to Variety. The pair also addressed the overwhelming support from new and old fans, saying, "That's never expected, but that's the anticipation that hopefully the show is successful. So you always lay out at least three or four seasons' worth of potential storylines for the characters. It can evolve and change. We certainly have a pretty clear runway of what we want to do in future seasons." Scroll down for everything we know about Wednesday's second season:
