'The Gilded Age' Season 3 Episode 6: Bertha shakes hand with Gladys; John Adams suffers unfortunate demise
Bertha and Gladys
Bertha, who has been headstrong with her decisions, married off her daughter Gladys earlier this season. However, six episodes into the journey, they are finally on the same side as Bertha has arrived at her daughter's house to teach control. After the mind-blowing drama between Sarah and Gladys, the former is not looking forward to backing down anytime soon, according to Collider.
In the recent episode, Bertha took all the liberty to embarrass Sarah by discussing politics during the dinner, while she taught Gladys how to solve her problems. Well,

's character does change her trajectory and starts taking an interest in real estate, which is usually handled by

's character. Not only does Gladys call out Sarah's behaviour, but by the time Bertha leaves England, she is confident and empowered more than ever.
John Adams's demise
Meanwhile, John Adams, played by Claybourne Elder, was unexpectedly killed after he was hit by a carriage on the street, making it the most shocking scene in the season. While the series is tilted towards showing the life of the rich and elite of the historical era, the sudden demise was certainly out of the syllabus for the fans. John's unfortunate fate also marks the end of the fan-favourite LGBTQ+ storyline between him and Oscar in the Gilded Era, according to People.
The startling moment occurred after Adams financially helped Oscar van Rhijn, when the latter reunited with Maud Beaton (played by Nicole Brydon Bloom) and stole all his money, leaving him penniless.

The couple, who originally wed in April 2022, renewed their vows on Saturday in what sources described as an intimate reaffirmation of their love.

According to People , a source close to the couple said: 'The event is about honouring the love and commitment they've built together over the years, and creating a memory that will stay with them forever.' A second source echoed this sentiment to Metro , saying: 'This is a moment to celebrate their love and commitment, and to create a meaningful memory together.' Despite speculation and family drama, the couple appears focused on each other. In April, they celebrated their third anniversary by posting heartfelt tributes on social media. Brooklyn wrote that he falls 'more in love' with Nicola every day. Source: X Wedding dress tensions and early signs of strain The first public signs of friction between Nicola and the Beckham family appeared soon after the couple's 2022 wedding. Rumors circulated that Nicola had snubbed Victoria Beckham by not wearing a wedding gown designed by her. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Start in Data Science & AI BITS Pilani Digital Apply Now Undo Nicola later addressed the speculation in August 2022 and again in March 2023, explaining that Victoria's atelier couldn't complete the dress in time. However, reports in May 2025 alleged that Victoria had changed her mind about making the dress. Following the wedding, the Beckhams and Peltz-Beckhams showed minimal engagement with each other online. Nicola's absence from several family milestones raised further eyebrows, including Victoria's 51st birthday in April 2025 and her Paris Fashion Week show. In May 2025, reports claimed Victoria had "ruined" part of the wedding reception by hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony that was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room in tears. Missed milestones and social media fallout Source: X Perhaps the most public snub came when Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David Beckham's 50th birthday celebration in London, despite receiving invitations. According to reports, Brooklyn was unwilling to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the current girlfriend of his brother Romeo, and a woman once romantically linked to Brooklyn. Reports suggested David prioritized Kim's attendance over Nicola's comfort, which intensified tensions. In June 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly hired a "crisis team" akin to the one used by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, aimed at managing growing media scrutiny. That same month, Cruz Beckham drew attention with a pointed Instagram lyric and a sharp TikTok comeback. When someone mocked Brooklyn's frequent career pivots by asking, 'Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?' Cruz replied, 'Wrong brother mate. ' In a separate moment, Nicola Peltz liked a comment that addressed rumors she was "controlling" Brooklyn: 'The fact people are in this comment section talking bs about someone controlling a GROWN man is absurd.

Many saw the gesture as a possible first step toward reconciliation. But within 24 hours, Brooklyn unfollowed his brothers Romeo and Cruz on Instagram. Nicola soon followed suit, and both Romeo and Cruz also unfollowed Brooklyn, solidifying the apparent digital divide. Despite sources telling tabloids that David and Victoria are 'desperate' to repair the relationship, Brooklyn and Nicola have continued to remain absent from major family events, maintain social silence, and take clear steps to distance themselves publicly.

Harrison Ford recalls how movie executive told him he had 'no futire' in Hollywood
Washington DC [US], August 3 (ANI): Actor Harrison Ford revealed how, early in his career, he was told he lacked the necessary skills to succeed in Hollywood. In the 1960s, Ford was a young actor under contract at Columbia Pictures, making just USD150 a week for his very first on-screen appearance in 'Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round', reported People. When he was called into the studio's head of new talent's office, he expected feedback or encouragement. Instead, he was confronted with the stark truth. The executive told him, bluntly, that he had "no future in the business." The same executive suggested Ford should consider changing his name and getting a slick, Elvis Presley-style haircut to have any shot in the industry, according to People. "He wanted me to change my name. He thought that Harrison Ford was too pretentious a name for a young man, and then he asked me to get my hair cut like Elvis Presley," said Ford, adding, "That I didn't go along with." Ford left the gig and was determined to find success on his terms. "I lasted about a year and a half of a seven-year contract," he revealed. Years later, after he had already become a household name, the ace star met the same executive. "I met him later across a crowded room," Ford recalled. "He had sent me a card on which he had written, 'I missed my guess.' And I looked around and couldn't remember which one he was, but then he nodded at me and smiled, and I thought, 'Oh, yeah, I know you.' " He's now best known for playing daring heroes like Han Solo, Indiana Jones, and Rick Deckard in Blade Runner. However, his range has extended into dramas like Witness, thrillers like The Fugitive, and even comedies and romantic films like Working Girl and The Age of Adeline, as per the outlet. He's worked with directors like Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, and Peter Weir, and he continues to headline major films and streaming series to this day, reported People. (ANI)
