Summer Meng's "The World Between Us II" appearances to be cut down
The crew of the drama recently issued a statement, saying that while it is difficult to delete all of her scenes or reshoot them with a different actress, they have decided to cut down her appearances in the drama to only the necessary parts.
"During the original casting process, Summer Meng was cast after two rounds of auditions and interviews based on her own family life experiences. The focus of [the drama] has always been on how society views trauma - whether it is the victim, the perpetrator, or their family members, everyone may experience pain, struggle, and seek understanding in different positions," the production stated.
"Unexpectedly, after her part was completed, the Mickey Huang case led to more serious evidence and lawsuits, and her subsequent responses and handling of the situation have indeed betrayed the trust and goodwill society placed in her. This is a consequence we must bear," they admitted.
The crew added that what they can do best is to make cuts to her performance without damaging the integrity of the entire story, and promised to be more cautious in the future.
It is noted that the public was previously sympathetic towards Summer following her husband Mickey Huang's arrest and subsequent indictment for child sexual exploitation. However, the actress sparked fury among many after she was photographed happily out and about with Mickey and their daughter while her husband awaits his appeal, seemingly unperturbed by the gravity of her husband's crime.

Kuruluş Osman Season 7: Latest updates on release date, cast and plot details
Fans of Kuruluş Osman are still buzzing after that intense Season 6 finale on June 4, 2025. With Osman Bey now eyeing the historic city of Bursa, the question on everyone's mind is simple: What's next? While there's no official confirmation just yet, here's everything we know—and what we're all hoping for—in Season 7 of this epic saga. Kuruluş Osman Season 7 Potential Release Date As of August 2025, there's been no official greenlight from ATV or Bozdağ Film—but let's be honest, it's practically a done deal. This show isn't just a hit in Turkey. It's a cultural force from Pakistan to South Asia and even beyond. With Season 6 pulling in ratings as high as 14.46 in Turkey alone, it's hard to imagine they'd end things now. Going by past seasons, Kuruluş Osman usually kicks off in early October. Season 6 began on October 2, 2024, and filming tends to start in mid-August. So, if the pattern holds, Season 7 could land around October 1, 2025—likely with a 30–35 episode run. And don't be surprised if we get a teaser trailer sometime in late September. Who's Coming Back in Kuruluş Osman Season 7? The heartbeat of the show, Burak Özçivit, is locked in to return as Osman Bey—putting those silly recasting rumors to rest. His portrayal of the bold and strategic Kayı leader is too iconic to replace. Joining him is Özge Törer, who's expected to continue as Bala Hatun, even though her character's health has been a lingering concern since Season 6. Other familiar faces likely to return include Cengiz Coşkun as the ever-charismatic Turgut Bey and Yiğit Uçan as Boran Alp, whose archer-warrior-bard combo keeps fans invested. But there may be some changes. Rumors are swirling about a possible time jump, which could lead to the recasting of Orhan Bey—Osman's son. Some fans are even speculating that Cihan Ünal might step in as an older Osman, but that's still very much up in the air (and controversial, to say the least). And of course, don't rule out new characters. Season 6 gave us the likes of Ilbay and Veysel Alp, so expect more spies, commanders, and wild cards to show up and shake things up. What Could Happen in Kuruluş Osman Season 7? Season 6 ended with Osman setting his sights on Bursa, a key city in Ottoman history. In real life, the siege of Bursa took years and wasn't completed until after Osman's death. But that won't stop the show from diving into it full throttle. So what can fans expect? A few possibilities: Massive Battles: Osman's march toward Bursa—and possibly nearby fortresses like Kestel—is bound to bring more jaw-dropping action scenes. We could also see more tension with rival Turkish tribes like the Germiyanids, especially Yakup Bey, who literally declared himself Sultan last season. More Backstabbing and Political Chess: Betrayals are a given. Yakup Bey is still a looming threat, and Sofia's surprise return—yes, the same one who kidnapped Osman's daughter Halime—suggests that the internal and external drama is far from over. Family & Emotional Struggles: Bala's illness, the heartbreak of losing Halime, and Osman's constant tug-of-war between duty and family will no doubt carry over into the new season. The return of Holofira (now Nilüfer) could also add emotional and political complications, especially where Orhan is concerned. A Touch of History: The show has always done a solid job blending fiction and historical fact. Expect deeper storylines around the Ottoman Beylik's rise, possible diplomatic alliances, and more friction with Mongol commanders like Ulugan and Altoga, who were introduced last season.

Man killed after ATV goes down embankment in Armstrong County
A 60-year-old man was killed after his ATV went over an embankment in Armstrong County. The Armstrong County Coroner's Office said in a news release on Tuesday that Michael McGuire died in the crash in Madison Township. Officials said he was fatally injured after his Yamaha Grizzly four-wheeler went down an embankment, rolled and ended up in a ditch. According to the news release, the 60-year-old man from Sarver, Butler County, was last seen on July 18, and his body was found on Monday, when he was pronounced dead at the scene at around 10:30 a.m. The crash, which is under investigation, happened approximately 600 yards from McGuire's camp. Officials said he was not wearing a helmet, and an autopsy will not be performed. According to his obituary, McGuire was a retired UPS driver. He was a member of the Rimersburg Rod & Gun Club who "enjoyed going to camp, shooting competitions, hunting, taxidermy, and being outdoors," his obituary said. McGuire was a graduate of Freeport High School and loved spending time with his family. "His legacy lives on in the lessons he passed down: respect for the land, love for family, and belief in God," his obituary said. He is survived by his wife Gina, daughter Meggan and sons Jacob and Isaac. The Armstrong County Coroner's Office was assisted at the scene by Pennsylvania State Police troopers from the Kittanning barracks, the Distant Area Volunteer Fire Department, the Rimersburg Volunteer Fire Department and the Pine Township-Templeton Volunteer Fire Department.

New Details Surrounding the Tragic Death of Caitlyn Jenner's Manager Sophia Hutchins Revealed
Caitlyn Jenner's manager and closest confidante, Sophia Hutchins, fatally plunged off a cliff in California while speeding in an ATV that was not street legal, police sources tell the Enquirer. Sophia, 29, was piloting a blue 2013 Polaris when it careened off a 350-foot ridge on July 2, after rear-ending a 2016 Mazda 6 along Malibu's Decker Canyon Road. The ATV crash-landed in a ravine littered with other wrecks — directly on top of an upside-down vehicle — not far from Jenner's $3.5 million condo. For years, locals have complained about the lack of guardrails along the steep and winding road maintained by the state. Billy Walkowiak of Collision Safety Consultants in North Carolina tells the Enquirer that the ATV driven by the I Am Cait alum didn't legally belong on the road. 'That vehicle is not designed to be on paved surfaces or on public roads,' he explains. 'It's a souped-up golf cart that I would guarantee is not street legal.' Emergency workers declared Sophia dead at the scene, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Raquel Utley tells the Enquirer. Utley adds that the two women in the Mazda were uninjured and there was no evidence of 'intoxication or impairment' by either party. It's unclear whether Sophia was wearing a helmet or seatbelt. Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo, who is based at the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station, believes that Sophia was speeding when she tried to pass the other vehicle. Saucedo tells Daily Mail that it appears she was 'going too fast' and clipped the rear of the Mazda, causing her to 'go off the cliff.' A family member, who did not wish to be identified, tells the Enquirer that Sophia's parents are devastated. '[Her father] is in bad shape over this,' the relative reveals. This isn't the first motor vehicle death linked to the former Olympian. In 2015, Caitlyn's Cadillac Escalade rear-ended a Lexus, pushing it into oncoming traffic and a head-on collision that killed the 70-year-old driver. Jenner did not face criminal charges, but was ordered to pay surviving members of the crash $800,000 per ABC News.
