Michelle Keegan returns to Brassic set with husband Mark Wright and daughter
Michelle Keegan has been spotted on the set of Brassic along with her husband Mark Wright and their baby daughter. The actress was snapped at the Sharp Project in Manchester on her way to film her final scenes as Erin on the comedy.
Keegan is followed by her husband Mark, of TOWIE fame, who can be seen holding onto their child Palma who was born in March. The pair made headlines late last year when they announced Keegan's pregnancy in a joint statement. The couple wrote that 2025 was "going to be a special one" for them and the announcement was accompanied by a photo revealing Michelle's baby bump.
The Corrie actress plays Erin on the popular original comedy, Brassic. It follows the lives of Vinnie - played by Joe Gilgun - and his group of friends in the fictional Lancashire town of Hawley. Michelle is on set to film what will be the seventh season of the show which is set to be its last.

No air date has yet been announced by Sky for the new series, which will have eight hour-long episodes. But the channel has given away some hints about upcoming storylines.
Cast members confirmed to be returning for season 7 include Joe Gilgun, Ryan Sampson, Michelle Keegan, Aaron Heffernan, Parth Thakerar, Joanna Higson and Steve Evets.
Speaking about the the final series of the show, Danny Brocklehurst, Brassic's co-creator and writer, said: "When Joe Gilgun and I sat down to create Brassic, we couldn't have imagined, in our wildest dreams, that we would do seven series and gather such a loyal and loving fan base.
"It's been a complete joy to create this eccentric world, but all good things must come to an end, and we want to stop while we are still riding high. Maybe they can finally give us that BAFTA!"
Meanwhile, a Sky spokesperson added: "Since Brassic arrived on our screens in 2019, it has become Sky's most successful comedy ever.
"Fans very quickly became attached to this dynamic group of friends, as they found unconventional ways to win at life in northern suburbia.
"We would like to thank Joe Gilgun, Danny Brocklehurst and the whole cast and crew – past and present – for bringing us all a truly iconic series, which we've loved for its special mix of hilarity and heart."

Damian Lewis on returning to ‘Wolf Hall': ‘Who doesn't want to play Henry VIII?'
'We could have all just said, 'Nah, I don't want to do it,'' Damian Lewis tells Gold Derby about returning to the Tudor court for Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light. 'But the experience in the first series [Wolf Hall] was so enjoyable — and anyway, who doesn't want to play Henry VIII?' Especially the way screenwriter Peter Straughan writes the king, by way of author Hilary Mantel's original trilogy. This Henry VIII is feckless and petulant, terrifying and sometimes touchingly vulnerable. But Lewis ensures that we never forget this is a man who could (and did) easily send close friends, confidantes, and wives to their executions. Or at the very least, years of imprisonment. More from GoldDerby The surprising scene that the 'Andor' cinematographer loved the most Clancy Brown, Joel McHale, and more actors who self-submitted at this year's Emmys 'Cross' star Aldis Hodge on building an aspirational hero - who's not a superhero 'He wants to go out, he wants to have a good time,' Lewis says. 'He wants to be with his guys and he wants to be loved, clearly.' Throughout The Mirror and the Light, Lewis makes Henry's sometimes delusional attempts at romance and courtship both misguided and moving. 'I think he really wants to love the woman that he's with and try to woo each of them with songs, poetry,' Lewis says. 'That moment of him coming in [disguised to meet fourth wife Anne of Cleves], the theatricality of that. There's something sweet about him. If that comes across then I'm pleased.' Lewis chuckles a bit and amends himself, 'Sweet in a murderous kind of way.' Jeff Spicer/BAFTA/Getty Images That ever-present threat Henry poses to everyone around him in The Mirror and the Light makes even a casual exchange with friend and advisor Thomas Cromwell fraught. And in Mark Rylance's Cromwell, Lewis has an ideal foil. ' He's the best kind of actor,' Lewis says. 'It's not pre-choreographed. It's not pre-programmed. He comes in ready in the moment to listen and respond to what you do. And I hope I did the same for him. Our scenes in this series in particular are chess scenes, really from the get go. In fact, we even have a scene over a chess board at one point. ... Working with Mark is fabulous. He's unbelievably skilled. He's Sir Mark Rylance for a reason, probably.' One of the most hypnotic aspects of Lewis' performance as Henry VIII is seeing the ways in which he takes pleasure. There's the Henry who thrives on attention, who loves a feast or a revelry. But there is also the Henry who takes delight in seeing others, and eventually especially Cromwell, unsettled. That Henry increasingly comes to the fore as his health deteriorates and he's unable to enjoy the outdoors life he previously did. The physicality of Lewis' performance is remarkably subtle, ending in the Henry that feels most familiar to how history remembers him. After debating spending the season in a fat suit, the team decided to focus more when to introduce his pronounced limp and begin the season with Henry's weight gain. The first episode picks up where Wolf Hall left off 10 years ago. "It's a slightly odd sort of psychological state to be,' Lewis says. 'Everybody knows that we're starting [with] the same day as the last series finished. But at the same time, in the hinterland of everyone's mind, it's 10 years later. We played on that and said, 'Right now's the time to create the expanded, overweight Henry. 'I actually started wearing no makeup, just so I could look as old as Henry,' Lewis adds with a laugh. 'It turned out I looked as old as Henry. They just didn't have to make me up. Who knew? I've never been so insulted.'

Sophie Cunningham's Behavior Before Fever-Dream Game Catches the WNBA's Attention
Sophie Cunningham's Behavior Before Fever-Dream Game Catches the WNBA's Attention originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever are in action on Tuesday as they look to make it three straight wins amid Caitlin Clark's injury absence. It's a road game for the 4-4 Fever with the Atlanta Dream hosting a shorthanded Indiana side at Gateway Center Arena. Advertisement The WNBA posted a video of the Fever's arrival at the venue, which was an opportunity for the players to show off their pregame outfits. Six-time All-Star DeWanna Bonner immediately stood out with her all-black ensemble that featured a halter-style top and wide-leg trousers. Bonner was more than happy to strike a pose for the cameras, too. Coming next to her was Sophie Cunningham, whose fit didn't exactly match her teammate's powerful, fashion-forward look. The seventh-year guard went for a simpler, sportier vibe that featured an oversized long-sleeve sweatshirt, black leggings, a pair of white sneakers and a white baseball cap. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham (8) shoots the Becker-Imagn Images Cunningham was visibly shocked after seeing Bonner strut her stuff like she was on a fashion runway, and she admittedly did not know how she was going to follow up her teammate's pose. Advertisement Cunningham tried her best, and her hilarious behavior caught the attention of the WNBA. "When the group chat didn't discuss a dress code. DeWanna Bonner pulled up looking runway ready, and Sophie Cunningham didn't know how to follow it up 🤣," the league wrote. View the original article to see embedded media. As the WNBA indicated in its post, Bonner and Cunningham clearly failed to coordinate their outfits. It looked like they were attending two entirely different events. At the end of the day, though, both players headed into the arena with the same goal in mind, and that is to get the W. Cunningham, however, will need to support her team from the sidelines as she continues to nurse an ankle injury. Advertisement Cunningham, who joined the Fever as an offseason recruit, will miss her third straight game due to the ankle issue, but she could potentially return in Indiana's next contest, which is on Saturday against the defending champions, New York Liberty.

2024's Best Horror Game ‘Still Wakes The Deep' Gets Scarier DLC
Still Wakes the Deep's follow-up, Siren's Rest, is landing on June 18. Just when you thought you were out of the water, The Chinese Room pulls you back in. Out of nowhere, the indie developer has announced and will soon release Still Wakes the Deep's DLC expansion, Siren's Rest. Still Wakes the Deep has been revived in a way that only makes the whole experience more claustrophobic and horrific, playing on its mantra of finding every single possible way to sink itself under your skin — this time, you get to relive the hellscape of the Beira D oil platform underwater. Set in 1986, 10 years after the events of Still Wakes the Deep, Siren's Rest places you in the role of sole explorer Mhairi as she hops into a diving bell in the middle of the North Sea to explore the remains of the ill-fated drilling rig. Armed with only a camera, cutting torch, and crowbar, she surveys the wreckage both underwater and in the few remaining air pockets, hoping to learn what happened to the crew — but naturally, not everything is as dead as presumed. Still Wakes the Deep, one of the top-three best indie games of 2024, was the deserved winner of three BAFTA Games Awards (second only to Astro Bot with five), thanks in part to its cast — two of its awards were for the ceremony's only both performer awards, namely lead role (Alec Newman as Cameron 'Caz' McCleary) and supporting role (Karen Dunbar as Finlay). As I said in my original review, it's a masterpiece of game acting, and to keep that spirit alive, this DLC sequel has enlisted top-tier talent to play on its biggest strength. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Siren's Rest, written by Sagar Beroshi of Helldivers 2 fame, introduces Lois Chimimba (Atomfall, Shetland, Doctor Who) as Mhairi, alongside Lorn Macdonald (Bridgerton, The Lazarus Project) and veteran voice artist David Menkin (Final Fantasy XVI, Valorant), once again overseen by SWTD's lead voice director Kate Saxon. This one's had a bad time of it. For its little faults, 'Still Wakes the Deep' was probably the best ... More horror game of last year. If you've still not played it, you're missing out on a unique experience that finds multiple ways to freak you out, especially as you're an everyman character with no weaponry. Still, you might need subtitles if you're an American (or even southern British TBH; I was luckily born and raised not far from the Scottish border). It plays to better side of The Chinese Room's unpredictable back catalog ('Dear Esther'? Amazing! 'Little Orpheous'? Nah.) I've never felt more unsafe in a believable and carefully curated environment. Take a punt on it - in "How Long To Beat" terms, think of it as 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Endgame' put together, but it's all set on an oil rig in the 1970s and you gradually watch your fellow crew members turn into the worst monsters possible. The trailer and screenshots of Siren's Rest point to plenty of 'if you know, you know' moments — undoubtedly encouraging a fresh playthrough for existing fans of Still Wakes the Deep like me — but it also unlocks yet another reason for SWTD virgins to punish themselves with mid-70s, Scottish-themed sadness, despair, and body horror. I've always been a poltroon when it comes to horror games, but I managed to complete this one with only light degrees of discomfort, and I've recommended it to everyone I know; I've even bought it as a birthday present for three people. It's not exactly the most positive experience to reward becoming another year older, but whatever. Siren's Rest lands on June 18 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. It takes about 1.5 to two hours to complete, and it costs $12.99 — well worth the money, if past experiences are to be believed. Meanwhile, if Still Wakes the Deep isn't your cup of tea, 2024's fellow, fear-filled classic Crow Country was a close second for the genre, and it's a near-perfect tribute to fifth-gen survival horror. It's also a lot less likely to force you to powerwash your trousers and/or seat of choice after playing.
