'Suits LA' star Azita Ghanizada teases new details about Ted Black, Roslyn's relationship revealed in finale
"When the finale comes out, I think it's going to really show how their relationship is grounded," Ghanizada told Yahoo Canada. "And I think it's really powerful how Aaron Korsh and Genevieve Sparling and Jon Cowan, [all the writers], they really came up with a storyline for how these two have a dynamic that was forged at fire, that is based on trust and respect."
"And I'm so excited for people to finally understand why she can talk to him the way that she does so candidly, and why he trusts her so much."

As we saw in Episode 12, when Roslyn finds out Ted went to warn Samantha (Rachelle Goulding) that Erica (Lex Scott Davis) is looking to take Nicole Kidman as a client, Roslyn is particularly protective of the firm.
"Roslyn doesn't care about that other law firm, she wants her law firm ... to fly and soar," Ghanizada said. "And so keeping everybody in the same place is really important."
"There's some post-traumatic stress going on for her after being cut out of the merger. It's like nobody else can leave. And if you want to leave, get out. We don't want to be surprised by anything else anymore. ... I think there's a real strength and clarity for her that she's not going anywhere, and she expects everybody else to be at the same level."
But while we know that the show is ending, Ghanizada did have some things in mind for how Roslyn could have been explored.
"In my heart [I feel like] Roslyn has always been very connected to the entertainment industry, where Ted is coming from this prosecutor role in New York," Ghanizada said. "I would love to see more of [her] Hollywood story leaned into a bit."
Much like her costar Stephen Amell, the in-person audition element of the casting process for Suits LA really appealed to Ghanizada.
"I went in and it was just so alive," Ghanizada said. "They get to talk to you about the character. You don't really get that in the form of the self-tape world. It's a little bit colder."
"I very much love this world. I love this world of high-paced, sexy, fast lawyers, and especially entertainment law. I mean, I've lived in Los Angeles for 20 years now, so I feel so connected to this kind of storytelling. And I was such a fan of every legal show that's ever existed. ... In my bones, I was like, 'Oh, this is for me.' And the role was written, 30 to 60, all ethnicities. They were not trying to recreate what they had. They were very openminded on who this was going to be. It just has to be the right personality, the right essence, ... a woman that can be the right hand to a powerhouse attorney."
But Ghanizada also has an interesting connection to the original show Suits. While that show was being filmed in Toronto, Ghanizada was in the city shooting Alphas, which aired from 2011 to 2012.
"After my audition with Aaron Korsh, he looked at my resume and he goes, 'Wait a minute. I think I met you in Toronto.' And I had, but I didn't bring it up, because you just kind of want to go with a blank slate," Ghanizada said. "But when Rick Hoffman came [on in Episode 12], we knew each other in Toronto, and he was like, 'This is so crazy, isn't it?'"
"Being in Toronto at that time, we really relied on our actors and casts from other shows. It made the city feel more like our home away from home. ... I would go to ... hot yoga with some of the other cast members from other shows. And it's such a full circle moment."

Which ‘Bachelor in Paradise' Season 10 Couples Are Still Together? Here's What We Know
Bachelor in Paradise season 10 is still in full swing, but that doesn't mean we don't know what really went down in Costa Rica. Last week, Bachelor Nation expert and professional spoiler Reality Steve updated his BiP season 10 finale spoilers, revealing which Bachelor in Paradise season 10 couples are still together. Major spoilers for season 10 ahead! Proceed with caution. According to Reality Steve, four romantic couples make it to the finale: Spencer Conley and Jess Edwards, Alexe Godin and Andrew Spencer, Kat Izzo and Dale Moss, and Jeremy Simon and Bailey Brown. Just because they make it to the finale doesn't necessarily mean they're still together, of in this case, Reality Steve reports that the final four couples are all still going strong! That's the good news. The bad news? According to the blogger, no other couples from Bachelor in Paradise are still together, including the recently eliminated Brian Autz and Parisa Shifteh or any of the Goldens (though this has not been confirmed). Per Steve, here's an update on the four couples still together after leaving BiP. Are Jeremy and Bailey still together after Bachelor in Paradise? Reality Steve claimed that Jeremy and Bailey are still together, despite the Brian drama that occurred last week. In fact, it's because of that drama—in which Brian told Bailey about Jeremy's lingering feelings for Susie Evans—that we have our most convincing evidence about their current relationship status. After the episode aired, Alexe took to her Instagram Stories to comment and said in part, 'I am so happy that Jeremy and Bailey found a true connection on the show and I continue to wish both of them nothing but the best.' Doesn't sound like something you'd write about a couple that's no longer together! Are Alexe and Andrew still together after Bachelor in Paradise? Alexe and Andrew have been hinting at their relationship status on Instagram for a while, so it makes sense that they'd still be together. Last week, Alexe posted some sweet photos of herself and Andrew with the caption, 'mon chéri' ('my honey' in French), while Andrew returned the favor with a series of Rose Ceremony pics captioned 'mon amour' ('my love'). Are Dale and Kat still together after Bachelor in Paradise? Dale and Kat haven't been posting about each other too much on social media, but Reality Steve reported that the couple does make it to the final three and is still together. According to the blogger, you can expect to see Dale and Kat hit a major speed bump in the finale, when Sean McLaughlin returns to Paradise and accuses Kat of having a boyfriend when she first arrived in Costa Rica. 'It does get pretty messy,' Reality Steve teased. Are Spencer and Jess still together after Bachelor in Paradise? Spencer and Jess have already said their 'I love yous' in Paradise, so it's not super surprising to hear that these two are reportedly still together. Spencer hinted as much in this Instagram Story about the sweet moment, sharing photos of the moment with the caption, 'Already won.' As for who wins... Hopefully, fans will get a better update on the BiP season 10 couples at the reunion, which—per Reality Steve—will be filmed on September 3 after the show has finished airing. When that reunion will be released, however, is still tbd. You Might Also Like Here's What NOT to Wear to a Wedding Meet the Laziest, Easiest Acne Routine You'll Ever Try Solve the daily Crossword

Florinda Ho ends engagement with firefighter fiance?
20 Aug - Rumours are rife that Florinda Ho, the daughter of casino tycoon Stanley Ho and Ina Chan, has called it quits with her fiance, Douglas. Speculations of the breakup sparked recently, after netizens noticed that Florinda has deleted all of the photos of her with Douglas. This includes the photo she posted in November last year where they celebrated their 1,000th day of dating. She also posted photos of her trip to Thailand, but the photos only featured her on her own, unlike her previous trip photos. Florinda was last seen with Douglas in public back in April, when they went to see Nicholas Tse in concert together. Since then, Douglas has not attended the Ho family event. Both parties have not responded to the breakup rumours yet. Florinda announced her engagement to Douglas Wong, a firefighter captain in September 2022. Prior to Douglas, her most known romance was with TVB actor Joel Chan. (Photo Source: Mingpao, SOHU)

Nck Name Talks Starring in TIFF-Bound Comedic Thriller ADULTHOOD
Nck Name is a bona fide artist, through and through. A multi-hyphenate, he's an actor and musician who also works in post-production sound design. He's amassed an array of credits over the years, including roles in Star Trek: Discovery , Netflix's The Madness , Fellow Travelers and Murdoch Mysteries . Next up on the docket is Adulthood , which Nck stars in opposite Kaya Scodelario, Josh Gad and Anthony Carrigan. The comedic neo-noir thriller is slated to make its world premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. Recently, I had the privilege of chatting with Nck about his role in the film as Diego, what audiences can expect, collaborating with director Alex Winter and more. RELATED: Shervin Kermani on Crafting TIFF Short Ramón Who Speaks to Ghosts and Working With Werner Herzog This interview is edited for clarity. Nck Name Pictured: Nck Name — Photo credit: Tim Leyes Melody McCune: We at GGA love a good origin story. How did you get into the arts? Nck Name: I've always gravitated toward the life of the arts. When I was 12 years old, I discovered music as an outlet. I remember having this crossroads moment. I went to a career fair. This was back in Colombia. I remember looking at the various options, all these career paths being offered; I remember standing in that hallway. It's one thing to dream about pursuing the arts — it's a very different thing to actually do it. I remember having this moment of asking myself, 'Am I actually going to do this? Are you sure you're not just going to be a lawyer or a doctor?' I remember having this split-second decision of, 'Let's do it.' I've never looked back. It's been my life ever since. Adulthood MM: Let's talk about Adulthood . Can you tell me what it's about and how you got involved with the project? NN: Adulthood is a dark comedy about two siblings who discover a very dark secret from their parents' past. Then, the movie is essentially watching the two of them making the situation worse and worse and worse by making terrible decisions. RELATED: Outlander: Blood of My Blood Press Day: Maril Davis and Matthew B. Roberts My agent reached out to me and told me about the project. I sent in the tape. I heard back from Alex, and he was happy with it. He asked me to try it in various ways. Then, there I was. I jumped on board. I'm playing the sister's husband, who is completely clueless about what's going on, so it's fun to play from that position where, as an actor, [you know] what's happening, but your character doesn't. MM: What can audiences expect when they watch this film? NN: I would say they can expect to be shocked as well as very entertained. I think it's a really funny film. The performances are so good. Anthony Carrigan is incredible. Josh Gad is incredible. Kaya is so good. MM: It's a stacked cast for sure. Do you share any similarities with your character, Diego? NN: I like to think so. We're not exactly the same. He's a professor. I'm an artist, so that alone [has a] very different temperament. Diego is a guy who, for the most part, tries to do right by people. He tries to the best of his ability to make smart choices, and I would say I relate to that. MM: Describe Adulthood using three words. NN: Funny. Dark. Shocking. Working With Alex Winter MM: What was it like getting to collaborate with Alex Winter on set? NN: It was amazing. I had high expectations, and he exceeded them. He had a very clear vision of what he wanted, and surprisingly, this clarity of vision enabled him to be quite flexible in how he collaborated with people. He was so prepared that it helped him navigate the whole thing with ease. Really smart guy. Alex knows how to get the best out of people. Honestly, I know everybody likes to praise each other when it comes to talking about collaborations, but [it was] genuinely an awesome experience working with him. RELATED: Bonggun Kim and Kansei Yasuda on Touring Together for Two Asians One Cup MM: Do you have a highlight or favorite scene you can tease from this movie? NN: I can think of a couple. There's this one scene, it's a dinner scene. We're all sitting down. Just being there to watch this back and forth between Anthony and Josh and Kaya, and getting to play along with them was incredible. Again, it was also fun to be in this juxtaposition of I know what's actually happening, but my character doesn't. Just playing through that was really fun. On the Horizon Pictured: Nck Name — Photo credit: Tim Leyes MM: What else is on the horizon for you, career-wise? NN: I have a film coming up that we are shooting in Malta next year called Watch Me , directed by Jonathan Sharp. I'm really looking forward to the project. I'm playing an actor who is on the rise with his career, but the story dives into some of his skeletons that people carry with them in general. It's a cool little character study. Also, I'm currently doing sound design for this movie called The Christmas Witch Trial of La Befana . We shot that with Anjelica Huston. That's been super fun. RELATED: The Institute 's Viggo Hanvelt Talks Playing Avery in New Horror Series MM: Have you binge-watched anything lately? NN: I haven't. I'm more into making things than watching them. I did watch Adolescence , which I thought was incredible. A total modern-day masterpiece. MM: Lastly, name your top five favorite films. NN: Oh boy, that's tough. I would say Heat . Kill Bill 1 and 2. Let's put The Dark Knight in there. Stranger than Fiction is a beautiful film. Let's put Dumb and Dumber in there, too. Adulthood premieres at TIFF on Thursday, September 11, 2025, at Roy Thomson Hall. Be sure to follow Nck Name on Instagram (@officialnckname).
