Is Grey's Anatomy's Baby-Faced New OB Just What the Doctor Ordered?
I might have written off Grey's Anatomy's Scott Marcus as a one-and-done guest doctor if he had only appeared in March 6's midseason premiere. But the baby-faced OB/GYN resident was back in action in April 3's 'Don't You (Forget About Me).' Are you thinking what I am?
Yeah, I have a hunch that the long-running — and just-renewed — medical drama is taking the newbie out for a test drive to see how viewers respond. So it begs the question: What do we make of him? Colleague Jo, we're well aware, can barely stand to look at 'his overachieving stupid progeny face.'

I get it — Marcus can be a lot. And not necessarily a lot of anything you want. He calls surgeries 'surges' (ugh), 'sharked' a procedure from Jo to keep the mom-to-be from having to be on her feet for an extended period and, upon learning that the father of her twins was fellow M.D. Link, responded, 'Oooh, hospital babies. Are you gonna name 'em Grey and Sloan?'
'Read the room,' I wanted to say. 'Or better yet, leave it.'
But there may be more to Marcus than meets the eye. He does seem to know his stuff. (He helped safeguard Jo and Link's babies as well as the expectant mother herself following the fall finale's shooting and its aftermath.) And when Wilson scolded Doogie Howser 2.0 over poaching her procedure — 'I can advocate for myself' — he explained that he'd just been trying to help and apologized. Didn't even balk when she criticized his term for surgeries. Not audibly, anyway.

Halloweentown Stars Reunite for Hallmark's Halloween-Themed Haul Out the Holly Sequel — See Full Cast
That sound you're hearing right now is Millennials everywhere losing their collective mind. Hallmark is expanding its Haul Out the Holly movie series with a third installment, Haul Out the Halloween, set during a slightly spookier holiday. And here's the best part: In addition to the franchise's original cast, the Halloween movie will also star real-life married couple Kimberly J. Brown and Daniel Kountz, who met in 2001 while filming one of Disney Channel's beloved Halloweentown movies. More from TVLine Hallmark Content Leaving Peacock on May 1, Ending Three-Year Partnership The Chicken Sisters Officially Renewed for Season 2 at Hallmark Channel, David James Elliott Joins Cast The Way Home EPs 'Working On' Soundtrack Release of Original Songs Returning cast members from the first two movies — 2022's Haul Out the Holly and 2023's Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up — include Wes Brown (A Biltmore Christmas), Melissa Peterman (Happy's Place), Stephen Tobolowsky (Nobody Wants This) and Ellen Travolta (General Hospital) and Lacey Chabert (The Wedding Veil), the last of whom also serves as an executive producer. 'Kimberly and Daniel have been dear friends for many years,' Chabert says in a statement. 'When we started on this third movie, set during Halloween, I just knew that they would be the perfect addition to this hilariously funny cast. 'I loved making this movie with friends who so many people grew up sharing this holiday with. It's a dream come true.' So, what can we expect from this third installment? 'For a neighborhood as renowned for its spectacular holiday displays as Evergreen Lane, the street has long been modest when it comes to Halloween,' reads the official logline. 'But when fun and spooky new neighbors, Luna (Brown) and Marvin (Kountz) move to the block, Emily (Chabert), Jared (Brown) and the rest of the HOA agree to get in on the seasonal fun and launch EverSCREAM Lane to fundraise for a local charity.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lacey Chabert (@thereallacey) The logline continues: 'As the block pulls together to plan creepy contests, spine-chilling décor and a spooktacular carnival, new haunted hijinks ensue with Pamela (Peterson), Ned (Tobolowsky), Mary Louise (Travolta) and the rest of the block. Through the process, Emily rediscovers the joys of the holiday that she and her late grandmother once cherished.' A premiere date has not been set, but Hallmark confirmed that we'll return to Evergreen Lane 'this fall.' Will you tune in to watch these Halloween icons do what they do best?

Emmys Twist: Dept. Q Enters Drama Series Race at 11th Hour, Potentially Upending 2025 Contest (Exclusive)
Did Netflix just throw a grenade into the Emmy race for the second year in a row? TVLine has learned exclusively that Dept. Q, the Matthew Goode-fronted Scottish thriller that dropped May 29, just two days shy of the eligibility cutoff for this year's Emmys, is being submitted in the Drama Series categories. The acclaimed nine-episode mystery from Queen's Gambit auteur Scott Frank enters a crowded field that includes Severance, The Pitt, The White Lotus, The Last of Us and Netflix's own The Diplomat. More from TVLine Ginny & Georgia's Biggest Season 3 Finale Mystery Has Already Been Solved: 'There Was a Debate,' EP Says Virgin River Star Shares Season 7 Update: When Are New Episodes Coming to Netflix? Adolescence Rises to No. 2 on Netflix's All-Time Top 10, Passing Stranger Things 4 - And There It Will Stay If all of this sounds vaguely familiar it's because just one year ago Netflix similarly sent Emmy handicappers heads' spinning with the late-April release of Baby Reindeer. Richard Gadd's searing, semi-autobiographical dramedy — which appeared on the kudos scene a scant one month before the close of eligibility — went on to essentially sweep Limited Series categories at last September's Emmys. It remains to be seen if a similar fate awaits Dept. Q, which earlier this week hit No. 2 on Netflix's consumer-facing Top 10 chart and boasts an impressive 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (its critical score stands at a strong 84%). Dept. Q, based on the book series by Danish writer Jussi Adler-Olsen, centers on a cranky Edinburgh detective (played by Good Wife alum Goode) who sets out solve a cold case involving a missing prosecutor (played by Queen's Gambit alum Chloe Pirrie). In addition to possibly playing spoiler in the Outstanding Drama Series contest, Dept. Q is poised to be a contender in the acting races as well. A Netflix rep confirms to TVLine that Goode and Pirrie will be competing in the Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Lead Actress in a Drama Series categories, respectively. The show's supporting cast — which includes Boardwalk Empire vet Kelly Macdonald and Game of Thrones' Kate Dickie — is equally as formidable. Have you binged ?

Carrie & Aidan Are Facing This Classic Long-Distance Struggle in 'And Just Like That' Season 3
Warning: This article contains spoilers for And Just Like That… season 3, episode 1. Fans of Sex and the City and And Just Like That… have seen Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett) go through a lot over the years, and the third season of AJLT will be no different. More from SheKnows Carrie & Aidan's Full Relationship Timeline From Sex and The City to And Just Like That At the end of season 2, the on-and-off couple agreed on an unconventional deal. Despite Carrie buying a beautiful Gramercy Park apartment for them to move in together, Aidan decided to stay in Virginia because his 14-year-old son Wyatt was having a hard time at school. As he delivered the news, he asked Carrie to wait five years. By then, Wyatt will be off to college, and he'll finally be able to leave his life behind and move to the Big Apple to be with her. Carrie was surprised, but she didn't exactly say no. 'No matter what happens… this was not a mistake,' Carrie said the next day as they said goodbye, per TVLine. So, as the third season of the show came around this week on May 29, fans might've been asking themselves what's really going on between them. Are they breaking up? Are they going long-distance? If episode one is any indication, Carrie and Aidan aren't breaking things off entirely. While they were keeping it cool by only sending postcards to one another at first, Aidan then called Carrie in the middle of the night. 'I miss you so much,' he says when she picks up. Then, when she called him out for breaking his own rules by calling, Aidan, who's in his truck in the middle of a field, says, 'All of that went out the window after this third beer.' Quickly, their convo goes from pleasantries to full-on phone sex. 'You know how much I love you, Carrie,' he says, while asking her to touch herself. Then, right when they were both getting into it, Aidan buzzes the horn of his truck. 'I scared myself, I hit the horn with my knee,' he says. 'I might've s– my pants a little.' After that, while Aidan gets right back into it, Carrie's understandably turned off. 'C'mon, we can get back there,' he said. 'Can we?' Carrie asks back, laughing. As she struggles to get back in the mood, she exchanges eye contact with her adorable new cat, Shoe. The mood is decidedly gone for her, but Aidan keeps going and finishes. Carrie, for her part, fakes it. Later in the episode, Carrie summarizes the experience to best friends Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon). 'He said he missed me and we had phone sex,' she says. 'More specifically, he had phone sex, I stopped midway. The kitty was watching, her little eyes were so curious. So when he went there, I faked it.' While both Charlotte and Miranda agreed that faking it was no big deal, after all a study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior in 2010 stated that up to 80% of women have admitted to faking it with a sexual partner, per NBC News, Carrie couldn't get past it. So, she comes clean to Aidan in the last scene of the episode. 'I have a confession, I wasn't totally there with you the other night and I said I was,' she tells Aidan in a call at the end of the episode. She then tries to start up phone sex once again, this time asking him to touch himself. 'Uh, Carrie, I can't do this right now,' Aidan then replies. 'I'm in bed with Wyatt, he's asleep, he had a bad night.' Embarrassed and speechless, Carrie apologizes and almost immediately turns off the call. We'll add here that this isn't just the show and its creator, Michael Patrick King, not knowing how to portray phone sex. After all, longtime viewers of SATC might remember Miranda's phone sex adventures back in season 3, episode 10. Things got steamy over the phone, and we all wondered if we were doing it wrong all along. But, this time around, the show wanted to see a couple struggle through it. And while And Just Like That… has gotten hate over the years for being 'unrelatable,' this storyline between Carrie and Aidan is anything but. In a 2018 study from Elite Daily, 48.6% of respondents said that they never had phone sex over the phone. So, unsurprisingly, countless long-distance couples out there can relate to struggling to get the knack of it, at least in the beginning. When is the right time to get into the mood? What if the signal glitches? What if my pet is looking at me? These are all questions that LDR couples around the world may be asking themselves. And while some couples might eventually become pros, others, like Carrie and Aidan, might need a little of SheKnows 30 Photos of Marilyn Monroe's Too-Short Life, From 1947-1962 Every Time Heidi Klum's Gorgeous, Colorful Fashion Choices Stopped Us in Our Tracks Elizabeth Hurley & Billy Ray Cyrus, & More of the Best Red Carpet Debuts From Celebrity Couples Over the Years
