Who Has Georgia Miller Killed on ‘Ginny & Georgia'?

Who Has Georgia Miller Killed on ‘Ginny & Georgia'?

Cosmopolitana day ago

Ginny and Georgia has finally landed on Netflix for an unbelievably dramatic season 3. The new 10-part season picks up right where the last one ended, with Georgia getting arrest for the murder of Tom Fuller. And now in the new season we'll be seeing her undergo trial and prove her innocence. Except if you've watched even one episode of this show, you'll know Georgia (Brianne Howey) is far from innocent.
Over the first two series it's been revealed she's killed three people, shot another and committed a variety of crimes including theft and shoplifting. And as she is about to be put under the microscope, we thought it was only right to reexamine her various crimes, after all, it's been two years since the show was last on, so we're a little hazy on the details.
So here is everything you need to know about Georgia Miller's murders.
During Ginny and Georgia, we get scenes both in the present timeline and also in various flashback timelines throughout Georgia's life. In season one we come to learn about Georgia's first murder.
About a year after giving birth to Ginny, Georgia leaves Zion and his family and ends up working in a hotel in New Orleans. There, she meets Anthony Green, the owner of the hotel who looks after Ginny when she's working.
During her time at the hotel, Georgia starts an illegal poker ring to start earning some more money, however at one point she gets busted and lands in jail, with Ginny being sent to foster care.
In order to try and get Ginny back, Georgia agrees to marry Anthony and come off as a woman in a happy healthy relationship with a stable home for her daughter. During their marriage, she tries to knock him out with drugs to stop him irritating her, however she gives him too high a dosage and he overdoses. She calls on the help of the gang she used to run with called the Bloodeyes who help her to cover up the death and make it look like Anthony has gone missing.
In season one we also learn about Georgia's first intentional murder. Just before they move to Wellsbury in the pilot episode, it turns out Georgia was married to a wealthy guy named Kenny Drexel. Kenny ran a series of yoga studios that Georgia ended up teaching at whilst married to him.
One day she sees Kenny touch Ginny inappropriately and decides she needs to get her children out of the situation. She decides to kill Kenny by poisoning him. She adds wolfsbane to his morning smoothie, which causes him to have a heart attack and crash his car while driving to work.
This murder is unlike the others and is the one that sees Georgia land herself in jail. Throughout both seasons of the show, we know Georgia's frenemy Cynthia's husband Tom has suffered a serious illness which has left him in a coma.
It takes it's toll on Cynthia throughout the series and at one point she tells Georgia in a drunken state: "I just want it to be over."
In own twisted way of being a supportive friend, while picking Austin up from a playdate with Cynthia's son Zach, she goes into Tom's room and smothers his face with a pillow, killing him.
What she doesn't realize at the time is Austin is watching his mother kill Tom from inside the cupboard.
Will Georgia finally be sent to jail for her crimes? We really kinda hope not, but guess we'll just have to watch season three to find out.

Why young men seek community in the ‘manosphere'

'Adolescence,' Netflix's hit mini-series about a young man who commits a horrific act of violence after engaging with incel ideology online, brightened the media spotlight on the 'manosphere.' The manosphere — a web of online communities, podcasts and influencers that promote conversations about modern masculinity but often misogyny, as well — was already on the minds of many parents and researchers, but the show put the debate around it into hyperdrive. Some, including the prime minister of the United Kingdom, praised the show for making it clear that the manosphere is leading boys and young men to dangerous places. But others felt the show overplayed the potential for violence and overlooked how many people engage with manosphere content just for fun. Researchers that spoke with the Deseret News about the state of the manosphere agreed that the situation is more nuanced than is often discussed. For one thing, it should be acknowledged that boys and young men who are engaging with this content are often trying to solve a very real problem: the lack of spaces where they are free to discuss their fears, said Daniel Cox, director of the Survey Center on American Life. 'You have podcasters and influencers who are talking to young men and talking about the problems that they have, the experiences that they can relate to,' Cox explained. 'And there's just so few other places they can have this kind of freewheeling, engaged conversations and feel like they're part of something.' That's one reason why Cox and other experts recommend entering into conversations with young people about the manosphere without judgment. Your goal should not be demonizing this online space, but instead seeking understanding. 'The first thing I often say to parents is listen to your young people, be prepared to listen,' said Craig Haslop, a senior lecturer at University of Liverpool who has done research on the manosphere. Research shows that young boys and men are struggling now more than ever before. According to The New York Times, girls now outperform boys in reading tests and achieve higher GPAs at school, while boys are 'more likely to be suspended.' Girls are also more likely to graduate from high school than boys and 'outnumber men in college enrollment.' As boys transition into adulthood, they're delaying important and traditional milestones. This trend is present among young women, too, but young men typically feel it more acutely. According to The New York Times, 19% of men between 25 and 34 live with their parents, in comparison to 13% of women. Men are also slightly more likely to be single — 39% of men are single compared to 36% of women, Pew Research Center found in 2021. Men are also facing new challenges in the workforce. As The New York Times pointed out, 'many of the jobs that mostly men did, like manual labor, have disappeared in the United States.' 'Of men ages 25 to 54, 89% are in the labor force, down from 94% in 1975. Of women that age, 78% are in the labor force, up from 55% in 1975,' the article noted. To put it simply, young boys and men are falling behind and unsure of how to catch up. According to Cox, many manosphere influencers have zeroed in on these issues and provided one of the few spaces where boys can commiserate about their problems. 'I think, to be fair, a lot of these podcasters are probably accurate in identifying some of the challenges that young men are facing,' he said. 'Whether it's economic challenges of the system (and) the fact that, in politics, the system is not responsive to the concerns that many young men have.' Most boys and young men likely aren't initially interested in the misogynistic ideas that circulate in the manosphere, Cox added. They're just looking for examples of how to be men in modern society and for solutions to their struggles. 'I think, something that those folks tend to do is speak very clearly about gender roles and articulate a clear vision of masculinity,' Cox said. 'And even if much of what they're articulating is not achievable or problematic, it is a clear roadmap.' Manosphere influencers, like Andrew Tate, offer advice about the very real concerns on young men's minds, including how to do better at school, how to get dates and how to make more money. But according to Haslop, this advice can drive a wedge between young men and young women. Manosphere influencers 'will reiterate what might seem like innocuous stereotypes, but (that) actually do undermine women,' he said. Listeners or readers may not realize they're becoming more hostile toward women because the content they're consuming seems to fit their experiences, Cox said. They often observe their female counterparts, especially in school, 'getting better grades, getting into better schools, getting awards, getting all the attention. And they're like, wait a second, the story that I'm being told about gender inequality and gender disparity, that's not what I'm seeing in my own life experience,' he said. But this discussion of these trends becomes problematic when it pushes young men into a victim mindset instead of encouraging them to form meaningful connections and try new things. 'It's about you getting what you deserve. It's not about service or not about sacrifice. It's only about how you're feeling and validating your feelings and emotions,' Cox said. Users may end up angry and withdrawn from the world, a trend that stands to deepen the male loneliness epidemic. 'These guys who fall down the manosphere rabbit hole ... are unable to forge and develop the kind of relationships that could help them avoid some of the more toxic lessons that the manosphere is teaching,' Cox said. Harriet Over, a professor at University of York and co-author of 'What do we need to know about the manosphere and young people's mental health?,' also worries about the manosphere's potential influence on mental health. 'Some influencers claim that 'depression isn't real' and that successful men can't get depressed,' she wrote in an email. 'The risk is that engaging with this type of content will discourage young men from seeking out valuable sources of support.' According to Over, there are a few warning signs that parents can look out for if they're worried about their child's relationship with manosphere content. 'One possibility is that children may start to express views they haven't spoken about before,' she said. 'For example ... some influencers are advocating for women to lose the vote.' Over also recommends keeping an ear out for any incel terminology, like 'black pill' or 'red pill.' But both Over and Haslop recommend listening without judgment. 'From our research, one of these we really recommended is to avoid demonizing those influences like Tate,' Haslop said, since criticism can reinforce the narrative that these creators are being targeted for unfair attacks. Instead, Haslop recommends that parents teach their children 'good, critical digital literacy' and encourage them to fact-check and assess information they come across in the manosphere — especially misogynistic or racist content. Over recommends a similar approach. 'Encourage them to think critically about what they view,' she said. Over suggested asking your children these questions: Can you think of counter examples to what the influencers are saying? What do you think the influencers' motivations are in saying things like that? How do you think hearing disrespectful or unkind content makes other people feel? Both Cox and Haslop said young boys and men need spaces to express their feelings and talk about their issues without judgement. 'I think it's definitely one of the issues we've got in society is men not being able to feel they can talk about stuff, being open, being vulnerable,' Haslop said. As Cox pointed out, there's plenty of 'upside(s) for female-only places,' while similar male spaces have 'come under critique.' 'The locker room can ... be a place where young men are kind of feeling out the ways for them to engage with each other,' Cox said. What we need, Haslop said, is for any environment where young men gather — school, sports, etc. — to encourage boys to be vulnerable with each other, talk about their issues and dismantle negative gender stereotypes. Families should have these discussions, too. While we should be worried about boys and young men who feel lost today, this is hardly the first time that experts are wringing their hands over a masculinity crisis, Haslop said. What's new is that digital spaces, including social media sites and podcast feeds, make it possible for problematic responses to today's crisis to spread like wildfire. Moving forward, Cox said he'll be watching for what the rise of the manosphere means for young men's relationships, particularly with young women. As more young boys and men are being drawn into the manosphere, more young women are expressing their aversion for manosphere ideology and the men who promote it. 'I am interested in where this is going,' Cox said. 'Where does it all end, societally? ... Where do we go from here?'

‘Somebody hug me!' 7 Emmy hopefuls on staying calm, hitting their marks and more

The Emmys' limited series/TV movie acting categories have come to represent some of the best and most-talked-about shows on television, and this year's crop of contenders is no exception. The seven actors who joined the 2025 Envelope Roundtable were Javier Bardem, who plays father, victim and alleged molester Jose Menendez in Netflix's 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story'; Renée Zellweger, who reprises her role as the British romantic heroine in 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy'; Stephen Graham, who co-created and stars in 'Adolescence' as the father of a teenage boy who commits a heinous murder; Jenny Slate, who plays the best friend of a terminally ill woman in FX's 'Dying for Sex'; Brian Tyree Henry, who portrays a man posing as a federal agent in order to rip off drug dealers in Apple TV+'s 'Dope Thief'; Elizabeth Banks, who takes on the role of an estranged sibling and recovering alcoholic in Prime Video's 'The Better Sister'; and Sacha Baron Cohen, who appears as the deceived husband of a successful filmmaker in Apple TV+'s 'Disclaimer.' The Times' news and culture critic Lorraine Ali spoke to the group about the emotional fallout of a heavy scene, the art of defying expectations and more. Read highlights from their conversation below and watch video of the roundtable above. Many of you move between drama and comedy. People often think, 'Drama's very serious and difficult, comedy's light and easy.' Is that true? Banks: I think the degree of difficulty with comedy is much higher. It's really hard to sustainably make people laugh over time, whereas [with] drama, everyone relates to loss and pining for love that's unrequited. Not everybody has great timing or is funny or gets satire. Henry: There's something fun about how closely intertwined they are. In my series, I'm playing a heroin addict running for my life, and I have this codependency with this friend … There's a scene where I've been looking for him, and I'm high out of my mind, and I find him in my attic, and all he's talking about is how he has to take a s—. And I'm like, 'But they're trying to kill us.' You just see him wincing and going through all these [groans]. It is so funny, but at the same time, you're just terrified for both. There's always humor somewhere in the drama. Banks: There's a reason why the theater [symbol] is a happy face/sad face. They're very intertwined. Renée, with Bridget Jones — how has she changed over the last 25 years and where is she now with 'Mad About the Boy'? Zellweger: Nobody's the same from one moment to the next, one chapter to the next and certainly not from one year to the next. It's been a really interesting sort of experiment to revisit a character in the different phases of her life. What I'm really grateful for is that the timing runs in parallel to the sort of experiences that you have in your early 20s, 30s and so on. With each iteration, I don't have to pretend that I'm less than I am, because I don't want to be the character that I was, or played, when she was 29, 35. I don't want to do that, and I certainly don't want to do that now. So it was really nice to meet her again in this place of what she's experiencing in the moment, which is bereavement and the loss of her great love, and being a mom, and trying to be responsible, and reevaluating what she values, and how she comports herself, and what's important and all of that, because, of course, I relate to that in this moment. Stephen, 'Adolescence' follows a family dealing with the fallout of their 13-year-old son being accused of a brutal murder. You direct and star in the series. What was it like being immersed in such heavy subject matter? Did it come home with you? Graham: We did that first episode, the end of it was quite heavy and quite emotional. When we said, 'Cut,' all of us older actors and the crew were very emotional. There were hugs and a bit of applause. And then everyone would be like, 'Where's Owen?' [Cooper, the teenage actor who plays Graham's character's son]. 'Is Owen OK? Is he with his child psychologist?' No, Owen's upstairs playing swing ball with his tutor. It was like OK, that's the way to do this — not to take myself too seriously when we say, 'Cut,' but when I am there, immerse myself in it. Let's be honest, we can all be slightly self-obsessed. My missus, she's the best for me because I'd phone her and say, 'I had a really tough day. I had to cry all day. My wife's died of cancer, and it was a really tough one.' She goes, 'The dog s— all over the living room. I had to go shopping and the f— bag split when I got to Tesco. There was a flat tire. They've let the kids out of school early because there's been a flood. And you've had a hard day pretending to be sad?' Bardem: I totally agree with what Stephen says. You have a life with your family and your children that you have to really pay attention to. This is a job, and you just do the job as good as you can with your own limitations. You put everything into it when they say, 'Action,' and when you're out, you just leave it behind. Otherwise, it's too much. Certain scenes, certain moments stay with you because we work with what we are. But I think it doesn't make you a better actor to really stay in character, as they say, for 24 hours. That doesn't work for me. It actually makes me feel very confused if I do that. On the show 'Monsters' I tried to protect Cooper [Koch] and Nicholas [Alexander Chavez], the actors who play the children, because they were carrying the heavy weight on the show every day. I was trying to make them feel protected and loved and accompanied by us, the adults, and let them know that we are there for them and that this is fiction. Because they were going really deep into it, and they did an amazing job. Elizabeth, in 'The Better Sister,' you portray Nicky, a sister estranged from her sibling who's been through quite a bit of her own trauma. Banks: I play a drunk who's lost her child and her husband, basically, to her little sister, played by Jessica Biel. She is grappling with trauma from her childhood, which she's trying not to bring forward. She's been working [with] Alcoholics Anonymous, an incredible program, to get through her stuff. But she's also a fish out of water when she visits her sister, who [lives in a] very rarefied New York, literary, fancy rich world. My character basically lives in a trailer park in Ohio. There's a lot going on. And there's a murder mystery. I loved the complication … but it brought up all of those things for me. I do think you absolutely leave most of that [heaviness] on set. You are mining it all for the character work, so you've got to find it, but I don't need to then infect my own children with it. Sacha, you have played and created these really gregarious characters like Ali G or Borat. Your character in 'Disclaimer,' he's not a character you created, but he is very understated. Was that a challenge? Cohen: It took me a long time to work out who the character was. I said to [director] Alfonso [Cuarón], 'I don't understand why this guy goes on that journey from where we see him in Act 1.' For me it was, how do you make this person unique? We worked a lot through the specificity of what words he uses and what he actually says to explain and give hints for me as an actor. A lot of that was Alfonso Cuarón saying, 'Take it down.' And there was a lot of rewriting and loads of drafts before I even understood how this guy reacts to the news and information that he believes about his wife. Jenny, 'Dying for Sex' is based on a true story about two friends. One has terminal cancer, and the other — your character — supports her right up until the end. Talk about what it was like to play that role in a series that alternates between biting humor and deep grief. Slate: Michelle Williams, who does a brilliant job in this show, her energy is extending outward and [her character] is trying to experiment before she does the greatest experiment of all, which is to cross over into the other side. My character is really out there, not out there willy-nilly, but she will yell at people if they are being rude, wasteful or if she feels it's unjust. [And she's] going from blasting to taking all that energy and making it this tight laser, and pointing it right into care, and knowing more about herself at the end. I am a peppy person, and I felt so excited to have the job that a lot of my day started with calming myself down. I'm at work with Michelle Williams and Sissy Spacek and Liz Meriwether and Shannon Murphy and being, like, 'Siri, set a meditation timer for 10 minutes,' and making myself do alternate nostril breathing [exercises]. Brian, many people came to know you from your role as Paper Boi in 'Atlanta.' The series was groundbreaking and like nothing else on television. What was it like moving out of that world and onto other projects? Henry: People really thought that I was this rapper that they pulled off the street from Atlanta. To me, that's the greatest compliment … When I did 'Bullet Train,' I was shocked at how many people thought I was British. I was like, 'Oh, right. Now I've twisted your mind this way.' I was [the voice of] Megatron at one point, and now I've twisted your mind that way. My path in is always going to be stretching people's imaginations, because they get so attached to characters that I've played that they really believe that I'm that person. People feel like they have an ownership of who you are. I love the challenge of having to force the imaginations of the viewers and myself to see me in a departure [from] what they saw me [as] previously. Because I realize that when I walk in a room, before I even open my mouth, there's 90 different things that are put on me or taken away from me because of how I look and how I carry myself. Javier, since doing the series are you now frequently asked about your own opinions on the Menendez case? The brothers claim their father molested them, and that is in part what led to them murdering their parents. Bardem: I don't think anybody knows. That's the point. That was the great thing about playing that character, is you have to play it in a way that it's not obvious that he did those things that he was accused of, because nobody knows, but at the same time you have to make people believe that he was capable. I did say to Ryan [Murphy] that I can't do a scene with a kid. Because in the beginning, they do drafts, and there were certain moments where I said, 'I can't. It's not needed.' The only moment that I had a hard time was when [Jose] has to face [his] young kid. It was only a moment where Jose was mean to him. That's not in my nature. Henry: I discovered, while doing my series, 'My body doesn't know this isn't real.' There's an episode where I'm shot in the leg, and I'm bleeding out and I'm on all this different morphine and drugs and all this stuff, and I'm literally lying on this ground, take after take, having to mime this. To go through the delusion of this pain ... in the middle of the takes, it was just so crazy. I would literally look at the crew and say, 'Somebody hug me! Somebody!' Stephen, that scene where you confront the boys in the parking lot with the bike, I was just like, 'Oh, my God, how many times did he have to do that?' This kid gets in your face, and I was like, 'Punch the kid!' My heart went out to you, man, not just as the character but as you being in there. Graham: Because we did it all in one take, we had that unique quality. You're using the best of two mediums. You've got that beauty and that spontaneity and that reality of the theater, and then you have the naturalism and the truth that we have with film and television. So by the time I get to that final bit, we've been through all those emotions. When I open the door and go into [Jamie's] room, everything's shaken. But it's not you. It's an out-of-body experience and just comes from somewhere else. Bardem: Listen, we don't do brain surgery, but let's give ourselves some credit. We are generous in what we do because we are putting our bodies into an experience. We are doing this for something bigger than us, and that is the story that we're telling. What have been some of the more challenging or difficult moments for you, either in your career or your recent series? Zellweger: Trying not to do what you're feeling in the moment sometimes, because it's not appropriate to what you're telling. That happens in most shows, most things that you do. I think everybody experiences it where you're bringing something from home and it doesn't belong on the set. It's impossible to leave it behind when you walk in because it's bigger than you are in that moment. Banks: I would say that the thing that I worked on the most for 'The Better Sister' was [understanding] sobriety. I'm not sober. I love a bubbly rosé. So it really did bring up how much I think about drinking and how social it is and what that ritual is for me, and how this character is thinking about it every day and deciding every day to stay sober or not. I am also a huge fan of AA and sobriety programs. I think they're incredible tools for everybody who works those programs. I was grateful for the access to all of that as I was making the series. But that's what you get to do in TV. You get to explore episode by episode. You get to play out a lot more than just three acts. Stephen, about the continuous single shot. It seems like it's an incredibly difficult and complex way to shoot a series. Why do it? Graham: It's exceptionally difficult, I'm not going to lie. It's like a swan glides across the water beautifully, but the legs are going rapidly underneath. A lot of it is done in preparation. We spend a whole week learning the script, and then the second week is just with the camera crew and the rest of the crew. It's a choreography that you work out, getting an idea of where they want the camera to go, and the opportunity to embody the space ourselves. Cohen: That reminds me of a bit of doing the undercover movies that I do because you have one take. ... I did a scene where I'm wearing a bulletproof vest. There were a lot of the people in the audience who'd gone to this rally, a lot of them had machine guns. We knew they were going to get angry, but you've got to do the scene. You've got one time to get the scene right. But you also go, 'OK, those guys have got guns. They're trying to storm the stage. I haven't quite finished the scene. When do I leave?' But you've got to get the scene. I could get shot, but that's not important. Henry: There's a certain level of sociopathy. Slate: I feel like I'm never on my mark, and it was always a very kind camera operator being like, 'Hey, Jenny, you weren't in the shot shoulder-wise.' I feel like such an idiot. Part of it is working through lifelong, longstanding feelings of 'I'm a fool and my foolishness is going to make people incredibly angry with me.' And then really still wanting to participate and having no real certainty that I'm going to be able to do anything but just make all of my fears real. Part of the thing that I love about performance is I just want to experience the version of myself that does not collapse into useless fragments when I face the thing that scares me the most. I do that, and then I feel the appetite for performance again. Do you see yourself in roles when you're watching other people's films or TV show? Graham: At the end of the day, we're all big fans of acting. That's why we do it. Because when we were young, we were inspired by people on the screen, or we were inspired by places where we could put ourselves and lose our imaginations. We have a lot of t— in this industry. But I think if we fight hard enough, we can come through. Do you know what I mean? It's people that are here for the right reasons. It's a collective. Acting is not a game of golf. It's a team. It's in front and it's behind the camera. I think it's important that we nourish that. Henry: And remember that none of us are t—. Bardem: What is a t—? I may be one of them and I don't know it. Graham: I'll explain it to you later.
