Fans go wild over steamy peach scene on hit teen drama The Summer I Turned Pretty
Warning: Contains spoilers from The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, episode 5 The wholesome teen series The Summer I Turned Pretty took a rather racy turn on Wednesday night's episode – and diehard fans could barely contain themselves. The drama is based on author Jenny Han's New York Times best-selling trilogy of the same name that has been adapted into a smash-hit series by Prime Video. Fans of the novels have waited patiently for the iconic peach scene from the book to come to life on the big screen, and the wait is finally over. In the episode directed by Jenny Han herself, the love triangle between Isabel 'Belly' Conklin, her fiance Jeremiah and his brother Conrad – who also happens to be her ex – intensifies after a pit stop at a roadside peach stand. With Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) away for work, Conrad (Christopher Briney) helps Belly (Lola Tung) prep for her and Jeremiah's wedding. But Conrad's feelings for her are reignited in the racy scene that involves her biting into a peach. Needless to say, the scene is rather, er, juicy … As the Rolling Stones' dreamy song Wild Horses plays in the background, the sexual tension between Belly and Conrad is undeniable as he watches her devour the peach with no inhibitions. With juice dribbling down her chin and the sunlight glowing on her hair, Belly has all of his attention. 'That is a perfect peach,' she says. 'My god, I don't want to eat another one cause there's no way that it could be this good.' Conrad hands her another and her theory is proven wrong as the second peach is even tastier. As more juice drips off her chin, a mesmerised Conrad impulsively walks towards her, pulls his tucked-in white shirt out from his pants, and uses it to pat dry Belly's mouth, leaving her speechless. The scene is being hailed as 'one of the most intimate, non-sex scenes on teen TV' – and the internet went wild for 'the best episode ever'. 'I lost my mind in today's episode omfg the peach scene,' one tweeted on X, as another agreed: 'THE PEACH SCENE i'm weak in the knees.' Another tweeted, 'That peach scenes gave me f***ing chills like oh my god I want to yell so badly, the way Conrad used his whole f***ing shirt hem to wipe her face??? That felt so initmate.' 'Belly and Conrad's peach scene in #TheSummerITurnedPretty is even steamier in the book. #TSITP,' yet another commented, while one added, 'The Belly and Conrad peach scene was life changing Jenny Han you genius!' One X user is convinced that there was an underlying lesson for Belly in the pivotal scene. 'This peach scene is so sexy,' they tweeted. 'Conrad gives belly a second peach. She says she doesn't want eat it bc the first one was so perfect. Conrad is teaching Belly that second bite of the peach can be just as good as the first bite.' Not since Twilight 's Team Edward/Team Jacob saga have we seen fan hysteria levels like this surrounding a book-to-screen adaptation with the Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah fandom exploding online. Even Jenny Han couldn't help but tease her fans on Instagram when she shared a photo of leading lady Lola Tung holding a peach in an off-set photo. 'Team Conrad you up??' Han captioned the cheeky snap. Han and Tung visited Australia last week for the Prime Video Book Club Live event in Sydney, where Tung told that she loves seeing the Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah discourse coming into play as fans pick sides in the love triangle. 'It's nice to see that people are so passionate about it,' she told us. 'The discourse is great – it's what you're supposed to feel. I think there should be a back-and-forth pull, especially over the three seasons. Because Belly's not always sure where her heart is leading her.' 'That's what makes it interesting and makes you want to follow on the journey with her,' she added. 'She's not always making the most perfect decision, but I think that's what growing up is about – making mistakes and learning from them and following your heart.' Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty began streaming on Prime Video on July 16, and in the first seven days since it premiered, a massive 25 million viewers had already tuned in to the hit series. 'It's really humbling to think we worked really hard on the show and then this many people are tuning in and spending time with us,' Han told at the event.

Mixed reviews as Netflix finally releases season 2 of global smash ‘Wednesday'
It was perhaps a near-impossible feat for Netflix to top the dizzying highs of Wednesday's first season, which still ranks as the streamer's most-watched show of all time. Yet three years after viewers were first introduced to Tim Burton's macabre thriller centred around Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), it seems for some, the wait wasn't worth it. The streamer finally released part one of Wednesday 's second season on August 6, with the first four episodes generating a deeply divided reaction among fans and critics. While there's yet again wide praise for Ortega's performance, the key takeaway is the character becomes lost in a convoluted plot with an overcrowded cast. Season two picks up back at Nevermore Academy, where Wednesday is – to her disdain – the toast of the school after her murder-solving exploits last season. The Hollywood Reporter was among the most scathing of reviews, criticising the unmemorable screenplay, and the bolstered roles of the entire Addams family, including Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), Morticia (Catherine Zeta Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzman). 'I can't think of any more damning criticism for these four new episodes of Wednesday than that, just two days after watching them, I legitimately can't remember anything that Wednesday is trying to accomplish this season, nor any single withering line of dialogue,' wrote reviewer Daniel Fienberg. 'Whereas my original review of the first season praised Wednesday for having the restraint and focus to not simply become The Addams Family … Wednesday has simply become The Addams Family,' Fienberg continued. The LA Times, meanwhile, ruled season two failed to 'recapture the magic' of its debut. 'It's impossible to recapture the magic of the first season, and Wednesday Season 2 isn't quite as crisp or surprising,' wrote culture critic Lorraine Ali. 'In the first four episodes made available for review, Wednesday 's zingers aren't as wickedly sharp as they once were. And because we know she's going to be annoyed by her classmates, such as perky werewolf roommate Enid (Emma Myers), the dynamic is not as morbidly charming.' IndieWire described the plot as 'so ordinary', while lamenting several 'lazy' one-liners. ' Wednesday 's dry, morbid humour is, at best, noticeable, but too often forgettable and sometimes actively lazy,' the outlet's review read. 'While arguably inconsequential in the long run, the faux pas exemplifies Wednesday 's priorities: all looks and little else. 'The absent attention to detail beyond what's stylish, combined with the neat-and-tidy aesthetic mandated for broadly appealing teen dramas, puts the focus back on what Season 2 is trying to say, which isn't much.' On the flip side, Variety was much more positive in its assessment, writing the show offered 'the same visual delights that have made all of Burton's worlds so fascinating.' 'With the Addams family getting increased screen time, several layered enigmas, and Ortega leading the charge, the show is still as twisted, enticing and devour-able as it was when it first debuted three years ago,' penned critic Aramide Tinubu. The Telegraph gave it four out of five stars, declaring the second outing offered 'both substance and style.' 'Netflix has given the series every chance with glittering additions to the ensemble and a twisting, turning storyline, full of homicidal crows and dark family secrets. A near three-year delay would have killed off a lesser show, but Wednesday 's murderously enjoyable second season proves worth the wait.' Part two of the season, which hits the platform September 3, has already generated considerable buzz thanks to a solid cliffhanger and an anticipated A-list cameo from Lady Gaga.

Davey Lloyd opens up about drug addiction and how he turned life around
Davey Lloyd has opened up about his sobriety journey – revealing that his addiction to drugs and alcohol was so bad, he nearly lost his life before managing to beat his demons. The former reality star, 35, has been free of substances for more than 500 days, a feat he achieved after checking into rehab following a scary accidental cocaine overdose that left Lloyd 'clinically dead' for several minutes in December 2023. After hitting rock bottom, the reformed party boy has a new outlook on life, explaining the emotional reason he finally cleaned himself up after hitting rock bottom. 'The only way I could be a decent human being, is to get sober,' he said while appearing as a guest on the new episode of the Soberly Speaking podcast. 'And doing that for my future wife, future kids and for my family.' Lloyd told host Julia Rangiheuea, a former Big Brother contestant who has also had a personal battle with substance abuse, that his issues stemmed from an unknown trauma he carried as a child after losing a sibling to Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). 'I found out through doing a lot of healing, and stuff like that in rehab, that trauma can be passed down from parents to their children,' he said. 'My brother passed away at five weeks old of cot death (an older term for SIDS), on Christmas Eve in 1988. 'I was conceived not long after his passing … my mum was still mourning when she was pregnant with me, so I absorbed a lot of her trauma and her own self-doubt. That has been ingrained into me.' He went on to state – through tears – that he believes this is where his own 'self-loathing and shame' came from, and why he detached himself to drugs after taking his first pill at age 16. From there, Lloyd began smoking marijuana, before finding cocaine, a drug he said was highly addictive as he had Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). 'It made me feel normal,' he explained. 'People with ADHD release less dopamine in the brain, so cocaine for me was like self-medicating, and I remember being like, 'this is who I am supposed to be'. I can sit down and talk to people. I could be so friendly. I could listen to what people had to say.' After discovering the Class A narcotic, Lloyd became a 'party boy' who would go on days-long benders, admitting that before he starred on the first season of The Bachelorette with Sam Frost in 2015, he'd been out getting wasted. 'I was 25, the youngest there, and the first one to meet her,' he recalled on Soberly Speaking. 'I'd come from a big weekend, I'd probably had 15 eckies [ecstasy pills] and what not. 'I think I finished up partying on the Monday morning from Friday, and then had to leave the house on Tuesday to start filming'. Despite forming a 'connection' with Frost, Lloyd left the famous mansion without a rose ceremony, and returned back to his party lifestyle, which he said only snowballed from there. As a result, Lloyd experienced three drug-induced seizures over the next decade, with the latter almost taking his life. 'I'd been sniffing for 48 hours, and I got up to get in an Uber, but as I stood up, I don't really know what happened,' he said. 'Forty minutes later, I woke up on the ground, all the ambulance surrounding me. I pissed myself, I couldn't get up, my mates were in hysterics, I couldn't speak. 'They told me after that I had died. My friends had attempted CPR on me and had failed, but luckily the ambulance came in time and brought me back to life.' After this terrifying brush with death, Lloyd began the long journey to health and recovery, stating it made him realise that 'my life was meaningless'. He moved back in with his parents and checked into rehab. But it wasn't all smooth sailing. Lloyd's addition had left him $70,000 in debt. 'When you're sniffing $8000 of cocaine-a-week, it racks up, pun intended,' he said. Now almost two years clean of drugs and alcohol, Lloyd is focused on his future, and hopes his sobriety will make him a good dad and partner when the time comes. Now, the former reality star said he's 'grateful' for the events that brought him to where he is today. 'I'm so grateful to be here, to have made it through the tough times, and to be experiencing life in a new way,' he wrote on Instagram recently. Fans have been quick to commend the reformed drug addict, praising him for his honesty and bravery. 'You should be so proud of yourself,' one said. 'Super brave Davey to be so open and transparent …. You are doing amazing things and your dreams and aspirations will most definitely come true,' agreed another. As one mused: 'Sobriety looks so good on you.'
