The Cast Of ‘The Buccaneers' Talks Love Triangles And New Characters
The season finale of The Buccaneers is now out on Apple TV+ and once again, this second season ends on many cliffhangers that will surely left fans eager for a third season. One of the main arcs of the show has always been the love triangle between Nan (Kristine Frøseth), Theo (Guy Remmers) and Guy (Matthew Broome). However, if Nan's heart is set on Guy, things won't be so easy for the Duchess of Tintagel, especially now that she knows that her best friend, Lizzie (Aubri Ibrag), and Theo are in love. But Lizzie also had her own new love triangle this season. She was supposed to marry Hector (Jacob Ifan), however, she breaks it off the day of her wedding, after Theo's declaration. During an interview over Zoom, Ibrag said, ''I didn't expect it at all, it was a curveball, but it was incredible to have that experience. It makes sense because Theo and Lizzie, who have both been wounded, they see a lot of the pain and a familiarity in each other.'' Theo's speech before Lizzie's wedding is truly what made her realize that she couldn't marry someone she didn't love, not because Theo told her to choose him, but because he told her to choose herself and her own happiness over any man. On this true declaration of love, Remmers said, ''I love that monologue, he's running and he has to get to the wedding, and you just think he's gonna say, ''Marry me!'' But I love that moment when he's like, he doesn't want Lizzie to fall into the same trap that he did, and in that moment he puts his feelings aside and he just says ''I want you to know that this is what I went through and I don't want you to go through the same thing.'' Ibrag added: ''Also being a duke and knowing you can't divorce, Theo knows he can't offer Lizzie the safety and the love that she deserves, so it came from a place of love. I was in tears that whole time, the way he was delivering it.'' Ibrag also mentioned that the shooting of this scene was rushed as they were running out of time, but that it only added to the gravity and intensity of the scene. Hector has ambition, he's a politician who wants to establish new reforms that would help disadvantaged areas and school funding. While there's not doubt that he does have feelings for Lizzie, his pride is wounded when she turns him down, and we see a clear shift in Hector's personality. I asked Ifan how he analyzed the changes in his character when he first read the script and if felt that at some point, Hector might do something that might change completely the audience's opinion on his character. He said, ''Maybe this is my personal opinion but to be a politician, it has to be an element of your personality that you have to be super driven and very ambitious. There is always that attraction to power, it's a strange dynamic, although what I loved about Hector is that it is a rare thing when you see a politician who genuinely intends to do good, like you said, lots of social causes.'' He added: ''He has an interesting relationship with Nan in terms of trying to amplify her voice, make changes within parliament, but when it comes to love, that's where he's not very well versed and I think actually, he's not used to rejection, not used to loosing, and I think that when it happens, there's inevitably a stern shift and his ego is really bruised.'' As mentioned before, the final episode ends on so many plot twists, especially when it comes to romantic relationships. However, what the show is and has always been about, is the friendship of this group of young women, trying to navigate society's expectations and the pressure they have to endure in order to become what respectable young women should be at that time. Nan and Lizzie's friendship is very much in jeopardy and if it is clear that Nan doesn't love Theo and would rather get a divorce, she now has to face one more responsibility: she is pregnant and Theo is the father. When in a turn of events, Theo abdicates from his position as Duke of Tintagel, and would therefore be divorcing Nan to be with Lizzie, Nan runs away to protect her baby, who would be the heir of Tintagel. While speaking with Aubrag, I asked her what her reaction was when she found out that Lizzie and Nan's friendship would be put at risk, from an actor's point of view, who truly care about these characters. She said, ''I think Lizzie is a good person at heart, because even with the complexity and nature of Nan and Theo's relationship, I think Lizzie deep down thought that maybe Theo deserved someone who loved him for who he truly is. And I think Nan made it very clear that she didn't. Her heart was more with Guy.'' She added: ''So of course, you felt the guilt and everything, but when Nan goes to Italy, that was confirmation for Lizzie that 'Ok, this man is available, and I have all of these feelings for him.' So she couldn't help it. She got in that carriage and was like 'Girl, I'm just gonna do me!'. The Buccaneers season 2 is now available on Apple TV+

Black Sabbath Charts 10 Albums At The Same Time
Black Sabbath's music is experiencing a major resurgence in the United Kingdom following the death of Ozzy Osbourne last month. That uptick in sales and streams hasn't faded just yet, even though the shock has largely worn off. While most posthumous bumps tend to cool off quickly, the heavy metal legends are still climbing, and this frame, the band notches one of its most impressive showings on the British charts ever. Black Sabbath Charts 10 Albums at Once This week, Black Sabbath sees 10 different projects appear on the U.K.'s albums rankings. That figure is up from last frame, when the first spike in streams and sales hit in the immediate wake of Osbourne's passing. This updated total includes two titles—The Eternal Idol and Sabotage—that weren't charting last time around. Both sets return to multiple tallies and manage to land on a trio of rosters apiece. Most Black Sabbath Titles Are Gaining Unlike many catalog acts that slide slowly after a spike, Black Sabbath's discography is gaining. Nearly every title on the U.K. rankings this frame improves its standing from last week, with only Greatest Hits and Black Sabbath – Vol 4 slipping, or holding steady. The rest of the group's projects either move up or reappear on additional tallies. Paranoid Stands Out Among All Albums Paranoid remains Black Sabbath's top performer during this Osbourne-honoring run. The set appears on seven U.K. charts — more than any other in the band's catalog. It hits a new peak of No. 60 on the Official Albums Streaming chart, even as it slides slightly on a few other lists. Vol 4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Reappear In addition to Paranoid, other titles are still seeing the benefit of the huge amount of attention being paid to both Osbourne and Black Sabbath's catalogs. Vol 4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath both reappear on multiple tallies and in several cases, improve their positions. Both albums initially surged right after the news of Osbourne's passing, but they're not done doing so just yet. Black Sabbath Dominates the Sales Tallies Black Sabbath continues to dominate the U.K.'s sales-specific rosters. This week, nine of the group's full-lengths appear on the Official Albums Sales chart. That sum includes four returns to the Official Albums chart, which blends physical and digital sales with streaming.

Blackburn Rovers register transfer interest in ex-Birmingham City forward
Blackburn Rovers are interested in striking a deal for VFL Bochum winger Koji Miyoshi. The Lancashire Telegraph understands that, as first reported by Alan Nixon, the Japanese winger is on their list of targets as they look to bolster their wide options. Right-wing is now the priority position in the Blackburn Rovers squad after the signings of Lewis Miller and Axel Henriksson this week. They filled the vacancies at right-back and in attacking midfield. Roves want to add a right-winger before the transfer window shuts with Ryan Hedges their only senior option in that position. Tyrhys Dolan, Andi Weimann and Amario Cozier-Duberry were options there last season and have left the club. READ MORE: Miyoshi has tasted Championship football before and was very popular at Birmingham City. He departed after their relegation to League One and joined German side Bochum having registered six goals and seven assists in 2023/24. They were relegated to the last season and therefore, Miyoshi could be available. Any deal is likely to be the highest outlay of the summer for Rovers for the 28-year-old, who scored once in 15 appearances last term. As previously reported, there is money available to spend and Ismael said that the sale of Callum Brittain should give more 'freedom' in the transfer market too. Rovers have used up all of their ESC slots after the arrival of Henriksson but Miyoshi would qualify for a regular GBE work permit, providing a deal is struck before he plays for Bochum in the second tier of Germany. That was a similar story with Dion De Neve earlier this summer. Cover at centre-back also remains on the agenda for Rovers. Hayden Carter's injury and the need to manage Scott Wharton mean an additional signing in that position has been explored.
