Nicholas Bailey to return for 'EastEnders' wedding
July 21 (UPI) -- Nicholas Bailey is returning to the British soap opera EastEnders.
The actor, 54, will reprise his role as Anthony Trueman after more than a decade away from the show.
"Back in 2014, Anthony rushed to his father's side when Patrick (Rudolph Walker) suffered a stroke," an official synopsis reads. "Since then, Anthony has led a life away from Walford but when an invite to his father's impending nuptials reaches him, Anthony decides to return for the occasion."
But his trip lasts longer than expects, the description continues.
"It's great to welcome Nicholas back to the EastEnders family to reunite Patrick with his son," said executive producer Ben Wadey in a statement. "But Anthony's plan for a brief return to surprise his father ends up with him staying longer than he expected when he uncovers what has been going on in the Trueman household."
EastEnders celebrated its 40th anniversary earlier this year.

Ozzy Osbourne's Hilarious F1 Interview With Brundle Resurfaces After His Death
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Former Formula One driver and presenter Martin Brundle's hilarious grid walk interview with Ozzy Osbourne from the 2003 Canadian Grand Prix has resurfaced online after Osbourne passed away on July 22nd in the UK. Osbourne was the lead singer of the heavy metal group Black Sabbath, whose battle with Parkinson's disease since 2019 was no secret. He performed with his band for the last time on July 5, marking the end of an era. A crowd of 40,000 fans watched him in Birmingham, with the concert raising £140 million (approximately $190 million), reportedly for charity. Brundle's grid walk interviews with celebrities have been unexpected at times, given the hustle and bustle on the grid just before a grand prix. A video of him approaching Osbourne on YouTube has had fans laughing and paying tribute to the late celebrity. The video shows Brundle trying to make his way through the crowd to reach Osbourne before calling him a "fruitcake." He said: British rock star Ozzy Osbourne chats with Scottish race car driver Jackie Stewart of Jaguar before the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, on June 15, 2003 in Montreal, Canada. British rock star Ozzy Osbourne chats with Scottish race car driver Jackie Stewart of Jaguar before the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, on June 15, 2003 in Montreal, Canada."I want to have a word with this guy because he's an utter fruitcake, as we all know, and we love watching him on TV." When Brundle does manage to reach him, he asks: "Ozzy, British TV. Good to see you here. "Sharon (Osbourne's wife) had some good news this week, I hear." Osbourne's reply was incomprehensible to Brundle, but he likely said: "I'm good in currently we're writing a musical about the life and times of Rasputin the mad monk, and we just got allowing it to go on Broadway." Brundle replied swiftly, "All right, I'll try and think of a question for that answer. Did you bring the dogs with you?" Osbourne replied: "No they're all at home "sh*tt*ng." Brundle smiled and walked away, saying: "Excellent, thank you very much. I think we'll move on now." Given Osbourne's replies, it is unclear if he was suffering with his well known health conditions or if he was having some fun with Brundle. Fans have reacted to the video, remembering Osbourne after his passing. Some comments are quoted below: A teary-eyed fan: "I'm going to miss him. RIP Ozzy <3" A fan's last tribute: "ALL HAIL THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS!!!! 🦇👑" This fan had an explanation: "Brundle wants to talk to Ozzy because he thinks Ozzy will make a fool of himself. Brundle asks about whats new. Ozzy tells about whats new. Brundle pretends to not have asked about whats new, then preceeds to make fun of Ozzy. Ozzy tells Brundle off in a slightly more polite way than he needs to. Brundle walks away, saying this wasnt very interesting." [sic] Our thoughts are with the Osbourne family at this difficult time.

Lefty keyboard warriors try to posthumously cancel Ozzy Osbourne for performing in Israel: ‘Broke the boycott'
Leftists on the internet are attempting to posthumously cancel the late Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne for supporting and performing in the state of Israel. Tributes from all corners of the internet poured in for Osbourne, the father of heavy metal and trailblazer of reality television, who died on Tuesday — but some anti-Israel keyboard warriors tried to spoil the moment. 'Ozzy Osbourne was a supporter of Zionism,' account Antifa Ultras wrote on X, garnering over 95,000 likes and nearly 7 million impressions. 'He broke the boycott by performing in Israel and, during a time when thousands of children in Gaza were being killed, he called on other artists to do the same. Never forget that,' the post concluded. The 'Paranoid' singer twice performed in the Jewish state — first with 2010's Ozzfest in Tel Aviv and then in 2018 as part of his 'No More Tours 2' tour, The Times of Israel reported. Another X account, 'ProudSocialist,' said Osbourne had 'a stain on his legacy' over his stance on the Israel-Hamas war. 'Ozzy Osbourne recently signed a letter to stop the BBC from airing a documentary chronicling Israel's genocide in Gaza,' the user tweeted. 'It's a stain on his legacy and a far cry from his Black Sabbath days when he released the song 'War Pigs', which condemned leaders who initiate wars for profit.'

'This is who y'all are celebrating. Ozzy Osbourne was a rabid zionist who just this year was commended by the Israeli government for calling out the 'systematic bias against Israel' by the BBC,' the account dubbed People's City Council – Los Angeles wrote on X. Though not Jewish himself, the one-time 'Black Sabbath' frontman became a fierce opponent of antisemitism due to his Jewish wife, Sharon. Osbourne derived an affinity for Judaism and Israel through his wife, Sharon, who is Jewish. Getty Images 'Ozzy is so confused by it all and just keeps asking me to explain why there is so much hatred of Jews,' Sharon said in an interview with Jewish News in 2023. 'What do I say?' Back in 2024, The Great Ozz publicly turned down rapper Kanye West, who supposedly asked to sample the classic song 'Iron Man' — writing in a tweet he wanted 'no association' with the 'antisemite.'
