Is ‘Good Cop/Bad Cop' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far

By Aman Shukla Published on August 3, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated August 3, 2025, 11:11 IST Good Cop/Bad Cop on The CW hooked fans with its mix of small-town charm, sibling banter, and twisty mysteries. Starring Leighton Meester as Lou Hickman and Luke Cook as her brother Henry, this comedy-drama about sibling detectives in Eden Vale, Washington, left everyone craving more after its Season 1 finale. With buzz building online, here's the latest on whether Season 2 is coming and what it might bring, Has Good Cop/Bad Cop Been Renewed? As of August 2025, The CW hasn't made anything official yet. There's been no greenlight for Season 2, but also — importantly — no cancellation. So while it's a bit of a waiting game, there's definitely still hope. The numbers are actually in the show's favor. Good Cop/Bad Cop scored an 88% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with an even more impressive 91% audience score. It was also one of The CW's better-performing shows this past spring, ranking ninth overall with around 305,000 viewers tuning in weekly (as of early April, per USTVDB). Those are solid stats for a new series in a crowded TV landscape — especially for a mid-season debut. But as with most things in TV, the final decision will probably come down to a mix of ratings, budget, and behind-the-scenes logistics. Sometimes these calls take a few months, so fans might need to hang tight just a little longer. What Could Happen in Good Cop/Bad Cop Season 2? While the network hasn't dropped any plot teases, Season 1 left the door wide open for more story. The finale dropped some major bombshells, especially around an old murder case that seems far from over. The ripple effects of that reveal could reshape the Hickman family dynamic — not just between Lou and Henry, but with their father, Big Hank, too. And let's not forget the other threads. Lou's emotional baggage, her messy on-and-off relationship with Officer Bobby Dougan (played by Lincoln Lewis), and Henry's mysterious past in Seattle — all of that is just waiting to be explored further. In a recent interview, Leighton Meester spoke about how the show plays with the whole 'good cop/bad cop' idea, saying, 'Lou is probably the good cop and Henry is probably the bad cop — but that will shift, and what good and bad means is open for interpretation.' So if the show returns, expect even more moral grey zones and emotionally charged cases that test both siblings in unexpected ways. There's also a strong supporting cast — like Officer Sarika Ray and dispatcher Lily Lim — who fans would love to see get more screen time. Eden Vale might be a small town, but there are clearly a lot more secrets hidden beneath the surface. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

How Britain's migrant surge is devastating one Albanian town: Lonely single women. Abandoned wives. Children who barely know their fathers

Besmira is a pretty young woman who spends day after day peering at her battered mobile phone hoping for a call from her husband, Arben, miles away in England. The couple, both 32, are desperate for children together but their dream of becoming parents is still just that, a dream. It is four years since Besmira, a former state statistician, has seen Arben in the flesh. In 2021, he left Albania to work in the UK, paying £5,000 for an illegal small boat Channel crossing from France. He then headed to Liverpool to be a jobbing gardener, before settling in Manchester, where he is now a construction-site worker, sleeping in a small, rented room, and toiling 12 hours a day, six days a week to earn enough to send money home to his wife and their relatives. Besmira is one of hundreds of women in Has, northern Albania, who are victims of an emigration phenomenon. Just as Arben did, their boyfriends or husbands have smuggled themselves into Britain because there is an unemployment crisis at home. In 2022 alone, 13,000 Albanians – some just schoolboys – slipped illegally into the UK by boat in the belief that Britain is a land of milk and honey, with endless opportunities to make money (mainly on the black market). At one stage, three years ago, nearly four in every ten migrants on the people-traffickers' Channel boats hailed from Albania and nowhere was the exodus higher than from Has, a municipality of just 5,000 people a three-hour drive north through the mountains from the capital Tirana. Two years ago, the council put up a monument on the main square emblazoned with heart decorated with both the Union Flag and the Albanian flag, in a tribute to its extraordinary – not to say controversial – links to Britain. Pubs have the Union Flag painted on walls and coffee tables embossed with pictures of Big Ben. An imposing statue of the late Queen Elizabeth II is being built to stand next to the town hall and, when she died, Has observed a day of mourning. On the face of it, this would appear to be a wonderful tribute from a small faraway community to a country that has provided so many of its citizens with productive work. But there have been devastating social consequences. When teenage boys leave school, often refusing to enter the sixth form, they say goodbye to their teachers with the words, 'See you in London', instead of the more normal 'See you around'. In the centre of Has, the girls wander around with nothing to do. 'They just chill all the time and look at their nails or mobile phones,' one bartender told me when I last visited. 'They don't need to work because their brothers send them money from England. Meanwhile, the boys they should be courting or marrying are all in England too.' He's right. This week I watched teenage girls in Has's coffee bars sitting in groups all of the same sex. There were very few boys of their age visible during the 12 hours I was in the town. The departure of so many men and boys has left behind a lopsided society where many heads of households are female, and even the council's road sweepers – traditionally a male job in Albania – are women. Children grow up without fathers, whom they see only through the artificial prism of a Zoom lens in internet chats. Besmira is only too familiar with this form of long-distance and soulless communication. 'I am depressed, like many of the women here left behind,' she says. 'Emigration of men destroys family bonds. Families are torn apart. 'The men who leave may forget the family they have here. There is an increase in divorces when there were once hardly any in our close-knit society. The town has been upended. There is money coming in, of course, sent from the UK. But money isn't everything.' We are talking in the back room of a local cafe where Besmira refuses to have her photograph taken and asks the Mail to use pseudonyms for her and Arben as she is embarrassed about publicising her plight. She has been introduced to us through a charity worker, who is concerned about the impact of the male exodus, not just in Has, but Albania generally. In a further twist, and one I don't mention to Besmira, the men who leave sometimes find other partners in Britain, marry them bigamously, and simply disappear for ever. Besmira has thought of moving to the UK but the costs of smuggling herself in are impossibly high. In its last two years, the Tory government cracked down on Channel boat crossings by Albanian economic migrants, deporting them as non-refugees back to their 'safe country' by plane. As a result, Albanians now increasingly use lorries on Channel ferries to enter Britain illegally from France – and that is a much more expensive enterprise. A trafficker's ticket for this ride has spiralled to an enormous £22,000, I was told in Has this week. 'All the money my husband sends goes to his parents, whom I live with, or our other relatives whom he supports,' she says. 'There is none left for the journey to England.' Besmira and Arben met in Has when both were 24, got married, and lived together for four years before he left. They love each other, she says. 'We want children, of course,' she adds, her dark eyes beginning to fill. 'We know we are missing out. The idea was he would come back but that never happens because of the money he needs to send us. There are no jobs for him in Albania.' As Besmira leaves the cafe, I am joined by a local official who is setting up a 'tourist village', eight miles outside Has. Apart from helping to stem the exodus of young local men by offering them work, he hopes to lure back others who have gone abroad. 'There are 300 sunny days a year, so developing tourism is the future,' says Jahir Cahani, a 50-year-old former schoolteacher, who has witnessed first-hand the town's dramatic demographic change. 'The normal chain of boy meets girl, engagement, marriage, then children coming along, is broken,' he says. 'It is difficult for girls here to meet boys in the first place, to even start the chain. The boys are in the UK.' At the table, too, is Professor Festim Danti, another former teacher. 'The men go and it is positive for the family's economic situation,' he explains. 'It is the opposite for the family unit. For teenage boys, it is a problem if they don't have a father figure here. They need a father and a mother to be raised properly and happily as good citizens.' He points out that women shoulder the burden of raising children alone. But they have the extra responsibility of caring for their own parents, as is traditional in Albania. On top of this, they now look after their husband's parents too. 'It is too much for them,' he says. 'They are doing this enormous job that their husbands should be sharing with them.' July is wedding season in Has and this is the time when the men who do have the right to remain in Britain – and can therefore fly back to Albania safe in the knowledge they can re-enter the UK legally – return to marry the girls they left behind. This does not mean that, after the ceremony, their new brides will automatically be given the right to live in the UK. In order to obtain a so-called 'spouse visa', they will need to satisfy various criteria, which include a minimum income threshold for the two of them. So, there will be lots of form-filling ahead and, thanks to this Home Office red tape, many brides will not be able to follow their husbands back when they leave a few weeks after the wedding. At Has's bridal shop, sales assistant Doriana Laci, 19, is very busy when I call in. 'When the boys leave school, they don't work here, they migrate,' she says. 'The girls I get coming here are nearly all alone or with a girlfriend. They are waiting for their grooms to arrive from England. At secondary school the girls with me in the sixth form found it hard to even find a boyfriend as they had all gone to work in Britain. These boys wanted to make money more than have a relationship.' Doriana, who is studying medicine at university, adds with a toss of her head: 'I, myself, am single.' She introduces me to her boss, a polite, bearded man in his early fifties, who refuses to be named. When a young female customer arrives – alone – to try on a gown from the multicoloured selection that line the walls, he takes me outside. He co-owns the shop with his sister. 'The male migrants coming back on holiday have plenty of money to spend, so we do well when they return every summer to get married,' he says. 'They have their proper papers to work in Britain. They can return there, not like the illegal ones who don't come to marry, because once they are out of the UK, they are out.' A family group of a grandmother, her two grown-up daughters and three children stop outside the wedding shop to say that they have many relatives, cousins, brothers, or uncles (although not husbands) in the UK. 'For a marriage to work you have to have the left hand, the woman, and the right hand, the man,' says one of the daughters, in her 30s. 'The right hand is often missing in an Albanian family now. The father is not there.' Eight out of ten Has families rely on money for survival from men working in the UK. What is happening here is a microcosm of the demographic upheaval happening in other poorer countries, as men leave to find money, illegally or legally. In Iran, Afghanistan, Syria and Eritrea, thanks to a huge exodus to the UK, towns and villages have been emptied of their lifeblood of young men and boys. Now there are only women and girls left behind to run things, while looking after the older generation. This week, I was told every Albanian town has a trafficking agent who, for the right money, will arrange to smuggle a boy or young man to England. They put the migrant on a visa flight to the EU, then organise a ride in a lorry on a ferry to Britain. As I wandered through Has last week, I was pulled to one side by a young man called Edmir, who was waiting to have his hair cut at the barber's shop. To my astonishment, he reminded me that we had met before. I had approached him at Tirana airport in November 2022 where he had arrived on a charter flight organised by the Home Office to deport 22 Albanian criminals and illegal migrants. As the deportees walked from the airport, Edmir, now 29, agreed to talk. He had no criminal record but had been thrown out after nine years for working as a black-market builder and paying no taxes. That November morning he explained he was broken-hearted to be back in Albania where he had no work or prospects. But if there is a sliver of hope for an Albania depleted of men, Edmir is it. He found a girlfriend soon after he returned. They got engaged, then married in Has, and next month they expect their first baby. 'We will be a proper family but I miss the money I earned in the UK,' he admits ruefully, adding he doesn't have a steady job. Besmira would understand his sentiment. After our interview, she trudged home to a life of dull chores looking after her husband's parents and her own mother and father. Depressed over losing her husband to England, she recently gave up her job as a town-hall demographer. 'I feel as though I am living life second-hand,' she said just before leaving me. 'Waiting and waiting for my husband is not good for my mental health or for that of the hundreds of other Has wives and girlfriends in my position. 'Whenever Arben is not working, we talk on the phone. But we are married, we love each other, we want to have a baby. Just having mobile calls over four years is not a real marriage, is it?' It's hard to disagree.

Beyond The Gates Recap: Sharon Has Anita Shaking in Her Boots

Beyond The Gates Recap: Sharon Has Anita Shaking in Her Boots originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Beyond The Gates recap: Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Sharon arrives and immediately lets Anita know she's not there for small talk. Vernon walks up and Sharon greets him with a warm hug. Anita wonders where Tracy is but Sharon thinks they should chat one on one. With that, Vernon makes his exit. Anita and Sharon get right into it. She knows she had to disassociate from her feelings in order to get where she needed to go. Anita hopes she and Sharon can put everything out on the table. Sharon can't with Anita still trying to be the one in charge when that is what ruined them. Anita says she wants to take anything Sharon is ready to throw her way. Sharon suspects it's easy to feel the heat when Anita has so much money supporting her. Anita admits to making a ton of terrible mistakes but says she has worked hard for everything she has. Sharon notes they were all talented and says she had offers to go solo but chose to stick with the group. Once Anita left, those offers dried up. Sharon notes how rumors spread she had a drug and alcohol problem and knows Anita and Dante were responsible for spreading them. Anita claims to have no knowledge of how those rumors spread. Sharon says it doesn't change the fact that Dante did what he needed to do to elevate Anita's career. Anita wants to do the concert with the two of them to make amends. Sharon says it is too late for her to make amends or have peace of any kind. Anita walks in with tangerines and cheese as she remembers they were Sharon's favorites. Sharon remembers they were so poor and these were the only things they could afford. They chit chat a bit about the good old days when Sharon stops her. She says she's not there to reminisce and asks how much Vernon knows about what actually happened to split up the Articulettes. Anita says he knows she and Tracy were angry about her siding with Dante but told him the rest was complicated. Sharon is not surprised to learn Anita let Vernon think everything Dante spread in the press was accurate. Further, they were never able to defend themselves because he made them sign NDAs simply to receive their final payment. Anita says she never knew, and Sharon gets it as she wouldn't return their calls. Anita admits the pain she caused but says Sharon cannot blame her for the decisions they made together. Sharon loses her s*** and says Anita was the one who decided to break ranks. She was the one who was going to follow her dreams no matter the consequences for the rest of them. Sharon is clearly talking about two different topics when she says Anita told them they could go along with her plan or not. Anita says they did and Sharon confirms – but may God forgive them (I'll admit to being a touch confused). Sharon wants to leave but Anita says they need to get everything out. She doesn't want to be the only one to wonder how much responsibility the bear, individually or together, for what happened (WHAT HAPPENED?!?!). Sharon is having NONE of Anita. She thinks maybe it's time everyone learns the truth about Anita, including Vernon (that look of panic on Anita's face!). Police Station: Detective Walker arrives to speak with Jacob to help with Laura's case. He is an expert in video analysis and Jacob asks the different ways they could make a match. Fairmont Country Club: Chelsea runs into Martin and says she they want Samantha to be the teen face of their purse line. It will allow her to be in the game without going full force. Chelsea wants to join him for lunch but Martin says he's meeting up with his dad. They move along to discuss Hayley's pregnancy. Chelsea thinks the entire situation is cringe worthy. Martin takes a seat and the waiter (who is also following folks around) pours his coffee. He quickly makes his exit when Ted arrives. Martin says he's been thinking about how they keep secrets. He loves his father and doesn't like how he treated his mother but thinks he deserves more compassion and understanding. Martin asks how things are going with his mother. Ted thinks they've made progress but it's not enough. He now thinks Leslie is far more dangerous than anyone ever knew. The waiter watches from a distance as Martin and Ted continue their conversation. Ted fills Martin in on his worries about Leslie having run Laura off the road and how Eva is in danger. He would love to talk to Nicole about this situation and Martin mentions possibly collaborating with Bill to get her gone, once again. Police Station: Kat and Leslie arrive to speak with Jacob. Kat presents him with the leather jacket and the receipts, but Leslie is there purely out of curiosity. Kat begins the presentation of the leather jacket. Jacob says it could have been touched and/or worn by anyone. She moves forward with a tag from the thrift shop, a ticket for a motorcycle without a license plate, and a coffee shop receipt. Kat notes the coffee shop receipt is for a 'Cherry C' which is very similar to 'Sherry C' which is the name Leslie used when she pretended to need Nicole's psychiatric assistance. Jacob asks if Leslie has anything to say for herself. She says she does and asks how she can file for a restraining order against Kat. Leslie is completely over Nancy Drew and her investigation. She says the 'evidence' Kat is presenting could have originated anywhere and has nothing to do with her. Leslie says the harassment has to stop and is serious about the restraining order. Kat calls her an 'arrogant bitch' before Jacob tells her to slow her roll. Leslie says she is up with no more bullying. Before she exits, she leans into Kat and says, 'That's Miss Bitch, bitch.' Kat is over the top telling Jacob how they have all the evidence they need to put Leslie away. During her explanation, Kat says she tried on the jacket which sets Jacob off as she could just as easily be arrested for Laura's 'accident.' He notes hers are likely the only prints on the jacket and the receipts. Orphey Gene's: Chelsea sees her grandfather working on his computer and he says he's working on a commencement address. Chelsea says he has always been good at giving young people advice. Vernon inquires and Chelsea tells him about issues with her latest relationship. Vernon is so sorry and knows rejection is just the worst. Chelsea thinks she dodged a bullet and notes the issues her mother is having with her father. Vernon understands what's happened recently but says there are a whole lot of solid examples of love all around her. Eva's Hotel Room: Eva thinks back to stealing things from her mama's house when Ted arrives. He says he's been trying to reach out to her to discuss Leslie's accusations which is why she has been ghosting. Ted gets it saying he never believed she was the one to run Eva off the road. He says he believed her before she had an alibi. He simply believes in her. Eva defends her mother saying she was probably just trying to get under Kat's skin. Ted counters saying Eva needs to protect herself from her mother. He thinks Eva is afraid of her mother. Eva wondered if her mother could have forced Laura off the road or caused the cardiac arrest but chooses to believe her. Ted gets it but says she can come to her if she ever wants to break free from her mother. Eva tells him to be careful as her mama has a tendency to confuse what she wants with reality. They agree to watch out for each other. Nicole and Ted's Place: (Y'all when I tell you I HOWLED when the camera first focused on that Febreze bottle!) Nicole sprays her house down with Febreze as Martin arrives to see how she is doing. He tells her about his meeting with his father and Nicole says she also spent the morning learning more about Leslie's more dangerous qualities. Martin says Ted misses her but says he would never pressure her in any way. That being said, he can't believe she has gone radio silent. Nicole says giving in would be a relief but wouldn't be real. Previous Beyond The Gates Recap: Endings Anita hopes Sharon will consider her offer about the concert. Sharon thinks the concert is simply a gesture, after which she will cast them aside as she did before (Sharon ain't wrong. The plan was to possibly relaunch her solo career…). Anita says it's not what she wants. Sharon says she knows Anita even better than Vernon and will never trust her again. With that, she makes her exit leaving Anita in tears. Vernon returns to find a despondent Anita on the sofa. He inquires and Anita indicates she couldn't convince Sharon to forgive her as she never forgave herself. Kat arrives home and tells Martin and Nicole about her less than successful trip to the police station. She says how Jacob was less than thrilled with many of her investigative techniques. Martin sides with Jacob and Nicole tells her kids to chill out. She says they need to accept that Leslie will probably get away with everything she's done. Detective Walker returns and tells Jacob his suspect is right at 5'7' and thinks he knows the manufacturer of the helmet and boots. Jacob asks about the leather jacket and the detective says the one in his possession (how would he know because Kat had yet to turn it in) was a match for the one in the video. Leslie shows up at Eva's hotel room asks her what she did with her helmet and gloves. Eva gets all kinds of smug and says they are currently hidden in a much better place than her apartment. Eva says she's protecting herself as what her mama says isn't always what she does. She tells Leslie she now needs to make sure to stay on her good side. Keep checking back for the latest Beyond The Gates recaps! This story was originally reported by Daytime Confidential on Jun 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

Collingwood admit they're trying to address Nick Daicos ‘contested mark' issue

Young superstar Nick Daicos has very few chinks in his AFL armour but fans and teammates are certainly aware of one unflattering stat that is haunting the Collingwood son-of-a-gun. At 22 years of age, Daicos has already achieved many things in his short career, but he is yet to take a contested mark in his 78 games so far. While contested marks is clearly not the job of this brilliant All-Australian midfielder, he was deployed forward in Thursday night's statement win over Fremantle and would have loved to have jagged one at some point during the game. At half-time, Collingwood defender Isaac Quaynor addressed the issue on Channel 7. 'You want Nick Daicos wherever you can get him and it's good to have him up forward,' Quaynor said told Daisy Pearce. 'He almost took his (first ever) contested mark. 'We've been trying to get him a contested mark all year so it was close.' Daicos was down on his usual output during the game. He appeared to be in a little discomfort, and was copping a hard tag from Fremantle's Corey Wagner. He finished the match with just 18 disposals and a goal, well down on his 29.1 disposal average this year. And, of course, once again he scored a duck in the contested mark category. It is possible Daicos entered the game with a little bit of a niggle. 'Pre-game Nick Daicos had a little bit of a tight spot in the lower back and we just saw him getting some work done on the boundary,' gun Channel 7 reporter Ryan Daniels said during the game. 'He's been off for a few minutes so we'll keep a close eye on it but he might be carrying something.' Meanwhile, a parody account on social media has fired up specifically to haunt Daicos about the contested marks. The name of the account is simply called 'Has Daicos taken a Contested Mark?', with a picture of Nick in the avatar ... to not confuse it with his older brother, Josh. As for Josh, he thinks it's all a bit of laugh. In fact, after the Anzac Day game against Essendon, Josh was pretty happy to talk about it following his own electric performance that included 36 touches and, yes, two contested marks. 'We get into Nick sometimes trying to get him a contested mark,' Josh said on Fox Footy. 'When they saw me have two back-to-back (contested marks) they got around me which made me feel good.' So how many days has it been since Nick took a contested mark? According to the account Has Daicos taken a Contested Mark, it is (at the time of writing) 1,148. Daicos is already a dual All-Australian and a premiership player. And last year he polled a whopping 38 Brownlow Medal votes which was a league record. Unfortunately for Daicos, Patrick Cripps also bettered the record and won the medal with a staggering 45 votes. Needless to say, Daicos is at short odds to win a Brownlow (or possibly two or more) at some point in his career. And there is no doubt a contested mark or two is also around the corner.

Do These 3 Checks Before Buying Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:GBCI) For Its Upcoming Dividend

It looks like Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:GBCI) is about to go ex-dividend in the next two days. The ex-dividend date is usually set to be one business day before the record date, which is the cut-off date on which you must be present on the company's books as a shareholder in order to receive the dividend. It is important to be aware of the ex-dividend date because any trade on the stock needs to have been settled on or before the record date. This means that investors who purchase Glacier Bancorp's shares on or after the 8th of April will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 17th of April. The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.33 per share. Last year, in total, the company distributed US$1.32 to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, Glacier Bancorp stock has a trailing yield of around 3.4% on the current share price of US$38.56. Dividends are an important source of income to many shareholders, but the health of the business is crucial to maintaining those dividends. That's why we should always check whether the dividend payments appear sustainable, and if the company is growing. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Dividends are typically paid from company earnings. If a company pays more in dividends than it earned in profit, then the dividend could be unsustainable. Its dividend payout ratio is 79% of profit, which means the company is paying out a majority of its earnings. The relatively limited profit reinvestment could slow the rate of future earnings growth. It could become a concern if earnings started to decline. Companies that pay out less in dividends than they earn in profits generally have more sustainable dividends. The lower the payout ratio, the more wiggle room the business has before it could be forced to cut the dividend. Check out our latest analysis for Glacier Bancorp Click here to see the company's payout ratio, plus analyst estimates of its future dividends. When earnings decline, dividend companies become much harder to analyse and own safely. If earnings fall far enough, the company could be forced to cut its dividend. Glacier Bancorp's earnings per share have fallen at approximately 6.8% a year over the previous five years. When earnings per share fall, the maximum amount of dividends that can be paid also falls. The main way most investors will assess a company's dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. In the last 10 years, Glacier Bancorp has lifted its dividend by approximately 6.9% a year on average. The only way to pay higher dividends when earnings are shrinking is either to pay out a larger percentage of profits, spend cash from the balance sheet, or borrow the money. Glacier Bancorp is already paying out a high percentage of its income, so without earnings growth, we're doubtful of whether this dividend will grow much in the future. Has Glacier Bancorp got what it takes to maintain its dividend payments? Earnings per share have been declining and the company is paying out more than half its profits to shareholders; not an enticing combination. These characteristics don't generally lead to outstanding dividend performance, and investors may not be happy with the results of owning this stock for its dividend. Although, if you're still interested in Glacier Bancorp and want to know more, you'll find it very useful to know what risks this stock faces.
