So, Who Is The Father Of Georgia's Baby In Ginny & Georgia Season 3?
Spoilers below. Somebody get Maury Povich in touch with Georgia Miller. The 'Mayoress Murderess' of Wellsbury and co-lead protagonist of Netflix's hit dramedy Ginny & Georgia is officially pregnant again—for real this time!—and she might need some help determining paternity. In season 3, Georgia fakes a pregnancy using her daughter's (real) positive pregnancy test, so as to convince her husband, Mayor Paul Randolph, not to divorce her during her ongoing murder trial. But before she makes this objectively awful decision, Georgia first comforts her daughter, Ginny, after the latter has an abortion. As the two cuddle on the couch, Georgia shares that, when she herself was pregnant as a teenager, she wanted 'milk, just all the time. Straight from the carton. I would've sucked a cow.' She also jokes to Ginny, 'We are very fertile. Men sneeze at me, I'm ovulatin'. I had two kids before I could legally order a margarita.' Both throwaway lines serve as foreshadowing for what's to come in the finale episode, when a freed Georgia trots through the kitchen, drinking a quart of milk straight from the carton. 'Mom,' a startled Ginny begins, 'didn't you say you drink milk when you're pregnant?' The look on Georgia's face quickly confirms Ginny's suspicions. So has show creator Sarah Lampert, who asserts that Georgia is indeed pregnant. The big question everyone's asking, then: Who's the father? As Lampert joked to Netflix's Tudum, 'Ginny gets pregnant, Georgia fakes a pregnancy, and then Georgia really gets pregnant, and we don't know who the dad is. And when you say these things out loud, you're like, "What in the world is this show?!"' (A fair question.) There are two potential options for the baby's father, as far as the audience knows: Mayor Paul and Blue Farm Café owner Joe, who first met Georgia as a teenager. Earlier in the season, Georgia sleeps with her then-husband Paul in a last-ditch effort to make their marriage work, before she makes the false pregnancy claim. Later, Paul leaves her and she makes the decision to skip town and dodge her trial. Joe shows up at her door hours before she makes a run for it, and the two end up sleeping together. 'In that moment, who shows up, but Joe, and he's not there to make a move,' Lampert told Deadline. 'He's not there in a romantic like, "Oh, man, she really needs a friend." So there's a little bit of an opening there for them to appreciate new things about each other. Because for him, it's always been this infatuation.' And if her reciprocation is any indicator, Georgia has feelings for him, too. So, who is the father of her unborn child? By the end of the season, it's clear that Paul and Georgia's relationship is officially over. There's little but hurt between them now, which has led Brianne Howey, who plays Georgia, to theorize that Joe would make for a better dad. 'Seeing the way things ended [between Georgia and Paul], seeing all of our true colors, and what we brought out of one another, I think the healthiest option for everyone was probably for that relationship to dissolve,' Howey told Tudum. 'And perhaps someone new is about to be a dad,' she teases. Added Raymond Ablack, who plays Joe, 'I would die of a broken heart [if Paul were the father].' Lampert told TVLine in a post-finale interview that, despite some early 'debate,' the Ginny & Georgia writers' room has indeed 'landed on whose baby it is.' Still, she insisted in a separate interview with Deadline that she can always change her mind. 'Here's what I'll say about that,' she told the outlet. 'I know whose baby she's carrying, but I went into the writer's room this season and I said, "Here's who the daddy is. Change my mind." So it's live wire in there. I'm telling you right now, I am open to being convinced otherwise.' Clearly, when it comes to love affairs, so is Georgia. After she turned down Joe's advances in the season 3 finale, she might have to reconsider her relationship with him when season 4 comes around. Until then, she'll just have to frequent the dairy aisle. This story will be updated. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Grierson Trust Chair Lorraine Heggessey Steps Down After 11 Years
The Grierson Trust has begun the search for its next chair after Lorraine Heggessey announced her intention to step down after 11 years. Heggessey, the former controller of BBC1 and boss of Fremantle's Talkback Thames, has overseen the Grierson Trust since 2014. More from Deadline Asif Kapadia Apologizes For "Ill-Judged" Sharing Of "Antisemitic" Social Media Posts Grierson Trust Withdraws Asif Kapadia's Patronage After Backlash Over Oscar-Winning Director's Israel-Gaza Social Media Posts Grierson Trust Bans Individual From Awards For 10 Years Following Antisemitic Incident The charity trumpeted her work in expanding the Grierson DocLab, which has trained more than 200 people from underrepresented backgrounds in the art of factual storytelling. The Trust also pointed to training partnerships Heggessey has helped forge with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, while underlining the work she has done to stage the Grierson Awards. 'In a world where views are increasingly polarised and expressed in bite-size quotes, documentaries have a crucial role to play whether they're telling truth to power or unravelling the complexities of international and domestic stories,' Heggessey said. 'It's a wrench to leave such a wonderful organisation but I do so with full confidence that the Trust is in great shape and will continue to thrive, innovate and make a lasting impact on the documentary community for years to come.' Sylvia Bednarz, managing director of the Grierson Trust, added: 'Her passion for documentary filmmaking and tireless support for emerging talent have been instrumental in shaping the Trust's vision and impact. It has been a privilege to work alongside her.' It has not all been smooth sailing. The Grierson Trust sparked unrest last year after hiring and then swiftly firing Asif Kapadia as a patron. The Oscar-winner acknowledged that some of his social media activity around the war in Gaza was 'ill-judged' and likely to be considered 'antisemitic.' But in the weeks following the incident, there was a feeling in the UK television's Muslim and South Asian community that Grierson acted rashly in defenestrating Kapadia. In a separate incident, Grierson banned an individual from its events after they approached three Jewish people at the 2023 awards to confront them about the Israel-Gaza conflict. The Grierson Trust has opened its search for a new chair, setting a July 11 deadline for applications.

'Ginny & Georgia' season 4: Everything we know so far
Good news for fans of "Ginny & Georgia": We won't have to wait too long after that shocking season 3 finale to see how things shake out for Georgia (Brianne Howey), Ginny Miller (Antonia Gentry) and the rest of Wellsbury, MA, in season 4. Yes, more episodes of Netflix's popular mother-daughter dramedy are already in the works and, knowing this bunch, there will be plenty of twists and turns in our TV future — especially after the finale dropped some some life-changing (or life-starting) news for one half of the titular duo. In case you missed it, "Ginny & Georgia" debuted in February 2021 and quickly became one of the best Netflix shows, with a combined 967.2 million hours viewed between the first and second seasons. It charmed fans with its "Gilmore Girls"-esque central relationship between young single mom Georgia and teen daughter Ginny, as well as its small-town quaintness, all mixed with the pulpy thrillers of a good page-turning mystery. So, with things already in motion for a fourth chapter of the Millers' story, here's everything we know about "Ginny & Georgia" season 4. (Warning: Season 3 spoilers ahead!) Seeing as how the third season of "Ginny & Georgia" only just premiered on Netflix on Thursday, June 5, the streamer hasn't yet officially announced a release date for season 4. The writers' room for season 4 kicked off in February of this year, per an Instagram update. Going by previous seasons, which all had a near-two-year gap between them, we could expect the next installment of the Netflix series sometime in 2027. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. A post shared by 𝐆𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐲 & 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐚 (@gngbts) A photo posted by on Back in May 2023, Netflix picked up "Ginny & Georgia" for a double renewal, guaranteeing not only a third season but also a fourth for the fan-favorite series. The series also welcomed a new showrunner, taking over from Debra J. Fisher: Sarah Glinski will lead the team for the fourth season, as she did for season 3. No official casting news has been released just yet regarding the "Ginny & Georgia" season 4 cast. However, you can't have "Ginny & Georgia" without the actresses playing them, so obviously Brianne Howey and Antonia Gentra will both be back for the show's fourth season. It's likely the two Miller actresses will be joined by other returning favorites including Diesel La Torraca (Austin), Felix Mallard (Marcus), Nathan Mitchell (Zion), Scott Porter (Mayor Paul Randolph), Jennifer Robertson (Ellen), Sara Waisglass (Max), Raymond Ablack (Joe), Katie Douglas (Abby), Chelsea Clark (Norah) and Katelyn Wells (Silver). And given that we saw that some of Georgia's family members resurface at the end of season 3, including her incarcerated father, there might be a few more familiar faces joining the drama next season. It looks like there are more Millers in our future. At the end of the season 3 finale, it was suggested that milk-craving Georgia is with child ... but whose? Is the father her ex-husband Mayor Paul (Scott Porter) or hunky cafe owner Raymond Ablack (Joe), with whom she shared a steamy moment a few episodes prior? We don't yet know the answer to that question — 'It's complicated," series star Brianne Howay told Tudum — but creator Sarah Lampert did confirm that the mother of two will officially become a mother of three in season 4. Fittingly, Lampert also revealed to Tudum that the official theme for "Ginny & Georgia" season 4 is 'Cycles and Origins.' As Georgia and the Millers contemplate their futures — literally, with a new life on the way — they will have to reckon with their family's past. 'Sarah has some incredible things planned, and I can't wait to see more about the circumstances that shaped Georgia,' Howey shared. "No one in the Miller family will be the same after this season," Glinski told Entertainment Weekly. "We talk about Georgia changing, but Ginny has changed, Austin has changed, and there's no going back." We saw examples of just how Ginny and Austin have changed in how they navigated their mother's murder trial in season 3, pulling their own behind-the-scenes schemes to ensure their mom's freedom. 'Once Georgia realizes how her kids manipulated this situation, it's quite sobering,' Howey shared with Tudum. 'It's also the final straw that leads Georgia to finally want to go to therapy, to finally break the cycle. She's now seeing in very real terms what her actions have done to her children, because now her children are re-creating her actions.' 'We thought the biggest consequences are how her children are changed through the process," Gilnski added. "The burden she leaves on Austin and Ginny at the end of Season 3 is what we'll have to deal with in Season 4.'
