Anais Gallagher orchestrated Oasis reunion?
Anais Gallagher orchestrated the Oasis reunion. The 25-year-old model – whose parents are Oasis' Noel Gallagher and his first wife Meg Matthews – reportedly decided to help her father reconcile with his estranged brother and bandmate Liam after Noel's second marriage to Sara MacDonald ended. A source told The Sun: 'Anais was one of the biggest sources of comfort and support for Noel following his divorce. 'Over the years, Noel had offered an olive branch to Liam, but he'd never taken it up. 'Anais could tell her dad really wanted both his brothers, Liam and Paul, by his side after the split so was determined to get them back in touch. 'She gets on great with Liam's sons Gene and Lennon so she asked them if their dad would be willing to hear her out. 'They said they thought he would be receptive, so she then asked Liam to reach out to his brother to lend support. 'Liam's always wanted Oasis back together so he got in touch.' Oasis split in 2009, when Noel left the band over a backstage fight at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. He said in a statement at the time: 'People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.' However, the Gallagher siblings thrilled fans last year, when they announced Oasis' comeback after 15 years. They wrote on X: 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised." Oasis will kick off their world tour in Cardiff, Wales, in June.

Carter gets an answer to his proposal while Ridge presses Steffy for information in The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 27, 2025. More The Bold and the Beautiful The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 26, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 23, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 22, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 21, 2025 We begin today with a look at the engagement ring Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) has for Hope (Annika Noelle). He continues his impassioned speech to her, letting her know she's the best thing that's ever happened to him. He asks her to marry him, but she stays silent. Taylor (Rebecca Budig) finds Steffy (Lawrence Saint-Victor) in the office late. Taylor knows she's been taking care of Liam and cautions her daughter that there are only so many hours in the day. She offers to stop in and check on him now that Liam knows what's going on. Steffy hates keeping the secret from Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), who walks in at that moment. Liam (Scott Clifton) and Kelly (Sophia Paras McKinlay) are in the middle of an intense game of Go Fish. Kelly is so happy to have Liam staying with them and she never wants her father to leave. Liam looks distressed as he holds her so Kelly asks if he's sad. Finn (Tanner Novlan) walks in as Liam tells Kelly how happy she makes him. As he hugs her, Liam and Finn share a look. Steffy greets her father while Taylor says she's been looking for Ridge. Ridge says it's time for them to come clean and he thinks it has something to do with Hope. He wants to know what changed Steffy's mind about allowing Hope back to the company. Carter says he wants to start their happy ever after right away, but Hope says she thought they already had that. When he tells her to trust him, he realizes it's hard because of the betrayal. Hope knows he was sincere in his apology, but a proposal is a 'big step' that she's clearly not ready for. Finn asks who won the game? Liam says Kelly won again. Kelly tells Finn she loves having her father living with them. Finn diplomatically says Liam will eventually leave, as will she after she grows up. Liam says even when she's grown up, she'll never be alone. Steffy says she took a 'hard line' about the takeover, but her perspective shifted. Ridge says Hope said the same thing and Taylor says that's exactly what they all want. But Ridge won't let it go, he wants to know what the 'other priorities' are. Hope wasn't expecting a proposal so soon after reuniting. Carter says he would marry her on the spot if he could. Carter knows he broke her trust and promises he'll never let that happen again. But he wouldn't be there with a ring if he didn't think he could be the man she needs. Finn checks his phone and sees a text from Dr. Buckingham asking if Liam knows what he wants to do about treatment. Liam returns from putting Kelly to bed. They share a moment talking about the kids. Liam asks if Finn told Li about his condition, but Finn promises he hasn't said a word to anyone. Liam thanks him; he knows Steffy told Taylor but understands Steffy needed someone to talk to. Finn is happy to be there to help, telling him that he needs to focus on living, not dying. He knows it, as a doctor, a father and a husband. Liam says he was watching Kelly fall asleep and he knows he can't keep his secret from the kids for much longer. He doesn't know how to tell them that he's dying, but he has to figure out how to say goodbye to his daughters. Steffy doesn't want to give Ridge the wrong impression. She and Hope still have things to work out, but they are making progress. Ridge asks what they're going to do with Hope, prompting Taylor to ask if she's going to re-launch Hope for the Future. Steffy says that's a decision for her, Ridge and Eric. 'And Carter,' Taylor adds. She notes that Carter must be very happy having Hope back. Hope admits she's been thinking about having a life with Carter. She points out that she's never felt a man's full commitment to her and she doesn't want to settle for anything less. He promises all of that, and more. 'Just say yes,' he says. Ridge asks if Steffy knows anything about Hope and Carter getting back together. Steffy says she has concerns about Hope and Carter 2.0 after the coup, but ultimately she wants them to be happy. Finn says when the time comes, Liam will know what to say to Kelly. And Steffy can be there with him. Liam says Steffy has been his rock, but so, too, has Finn. He's been more than just a doctor, he's been a great friend and it is very comforting knowing Finn will be there. Finn tells Liam about the text and asks if he's thought about the treatment? Liam says he's hoping to make sure the kids are ok. He knows Steffy has Finn, so he's hoping Hope can have Carter. He knows Hope could have an amazing life with him if Hope will only say yes to it. Carter continues his plea for Hope to say yes. He says he can make sure he'll be the best stepfather he can be to Beth. And maybe they'll have a child of their own, which makes Hope laugh. He says he believes in their love more than ever and he promises that being her husband will always come first. He asks her again to marry him, and Hope says yes. 'Yes, Carter Walton, I will be your wife,' she says. They share a kiss and lots of laughs before he slides the ring on her finger.

Who Will Slip and Tell Bill His Son Is Dying on Bold and the Beautiful?
Right now on Bold and the Beautiful, only a few know Liam is living on borrowed time, but the truth is starting to leak like a sieve. What began as a private moment between Liam, Steffy, and Grace has turned into a tangled web of whispered confessions and hallway run-ins. Despite efforts to keep things under wraps, the list of those in the know keeps growing…and so does the risk of someone slipping. The biggest surprise? Dollar Bill (Don Diamont) still doesn't know. That's right – Dollar Bill, the fiercely loyal, wildly emotional, and sometimes unpredictable patriarch, is completely in the dark. And fans are on edge wondering not if he'll find out, but how… and who will break the news. MORE: Find out what happened last on B&B. Hope (Annika Noelle) got the news from Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and has already spilled to Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), which was a risky move considering how close he is to so many Forresters. Taylor (Rebecca Budig) knows now, too and she's not great at keeping explosive secrets to herself. If Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) hears it next, you can bet it'll find its way into Bill's ear – intentionally or not. Then there's Bridget (Ashley Jones), who literally stumbled upon Liam and has to be bursting to talk to someone medical about what she knows. Could it be Finn (Tanner Novlan) who accidentally tips off Bill in a well-meaning conversation about family? Or what if Grace (Cassandra Creech), overwhelmed by the emotional weight, vents to someone in confidence who happens to know Bill? And let's not count out Steffy – her heart is in the right place, but she's already told too many people for this to stay contained. Maybe, just maybe, Liam will sit his father down and tell him the horrible news. He came close when they hugged it out at Il Giardino, but he simply could not bring himself to do it. (Did you miss that episode? Read all about it here.) However, after that talk with Finn about his love for his family and yearning for support, maybe that's a decision he'll soon rethink. No matter who says it, once Bill finds out, all bets are off. Will he rally around Liam, or will he rage against the people who kept him in the dark? Either way, the Spencer family is about to face one of its most emotional reckonings yet.

The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 26, 2025: a surprise proposal?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Liam's symptoms worsen in The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 26, 2025. More The Bold and the Beautiful The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 23, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 22, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 21, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 20, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 19, 2025 The week gets started with Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) telling Hope (Annika Noelle) that he feels bad about misunderstanding the situation with Liam (Scott Clifton) so terribly. She reassures him that there was no way for him to know what was really happening. Carter still can't process a man of Liam's age dying. Hope can't even think about all that Liam's going through, and what Beth will have to go through. Carter promises to be there for both of them, and she knows she can count on him. Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) gets a message from Deuce that he's getting the jet ready to return to Paris. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) walks in and sees her suitcase and is horrified that Daphne is leaving. Liam is at Steffy's home in Malibu. He's groggy as he takes his meds. When Finn (Tanner Novlan) walks in from his run, Liam jokes that he should have come with him, but Finn would have needed to carry him. Liam starts to collapse in the middle of his joke, forcing Finn to dash across the room to steady him. Liam insists he's ok, but Finn helps him to the couch and asks how often these incidents have been happening. Liam admits they have been increasing in 'frequency and severity' and he admits he's 'getting closer' to the end. Steffy can't believe Daphne is leaving, but Daphne reminds her that Hope is back at Forrester Creations and wants to know why Steffy didn't warn her. Daphne feels blindsided. As they settle on the couch, Hope says it feels good and 'right' that they're back together. Carter says he never wants to be in that position ever again. She recalls the situation at Forrester and when he allowed Daphne to kiss him; Carter vows that Hope will never feel that level of pain from him ever again. Finn offers Liam some water and asks if he's thought about the treatment options he was presented with. Liam quotes Hamlet, noting that he has to laugh about it. Daphne can't understand why Steffy brought Hope back. She feels betrayed. Steffy understands why Daphne feels the way she does, but she admits it's her own fault for the way Daphne views Hope. Steffy asks if this is more about Carter, and Daphne tearfully tells her that she never expected to feel the way she does. Hope, in the meantime, is enjoying being back in Carter's apartment…and back in his arms. He agrees wholeheartedly. She asks if they can have a game night soon, reminding him of her winning streak. He tells her to wait for a moment with her eyes closed. 'No peeking!' he tells her. When he returns, he kisses her cheek and presents her with a glass of wine. In the span of time she had her eyes closed, he lit a bunch of candles so that she could have a little time without the weight of the world on her shoulders. They share a toast to making every moment count and being better than ever before. 'To us,' they say as they clink their glasses. Steffy pours Daphne a drink and asks about Hope and Carter being back together. Daphne thought they were done for good, adding that she thought Hope was 'recommitting' to Liam. Steffy tries to correct her, but Daphne insists that Carter thinks Hope is telling the truth about loving him more than Liam. Deuce (Tom Arnold) shows up to take Daphne to the airport and teases Steffy about enjoying a free trip on the company plane. Daphne and Steffy share a hug, with Steffy still in disbelief that her friend is leaving. Daphne thanks her friend for the experience. She never thought she'd enjoy working there and certainly never thought she'd fall in love, but she did. Liam says he's been thinking nonstop about the treatment and on the surface, if there was a treatment that could extend his life, it would be easy. But he knows that those treatments can cause awful side effects, having seen them with his mother. He doesn't know if he could do that to his daughters. Liam tells Finn he's not sure what to do. Liam also wants to thank Finn, who says he hasn't done anything. Liam says he wants to thank him for what's coming when he's gone. Finn tries to stop him, but Liam needs to say it. He needs Finn to know what it means when he's not able to be there for his daughters. Finn, and hopefully Carter, too, will be there to 'pick up my torch' with graduations, weddings and all of the events he's going to miss. 'I'd be honored,' Finn says, and the two men share a hug. Deuce and Daphne share some champagne ahead of takeoff. Daphne looks out the window after he walks back to the cockpit, thinking about her kiss with Carter. She thinks about him saying that Hope was the woman for him. She sighs. Carter tells Hope that she takes his breath away. He can't think about his future without thinking of her. She's the woman he's always dreamed about. He never thought he'd have a wife or a family, and then she came along. And it's funnier considering she's been in front of him for a very long time. 'My dream girl's come to life,' he tells her, adding that he loves her and wants to make her happy. When he drops to one knee and pulls out a velvet box, she's stunned. He tells her she's the only woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, and he asks if she'll marry him. Hope, shocked, looks at the ring with wide eyes.

Mick Clifford: Liam Farrell's family united in grief and suspicion
Liam Farrell was full of life, belying his 87 years. He was in good health, a daily communicant, keeping active. He lived in the townland of Aughamore, outside the village of Rooskey, Co Roscommon. He'd been in the same house since 1947. His death in the early hours of Janaury 12, 2020, left his family shocked, but also highly suspicious. The circumstances of his last hours have haunted them since and they are still looking for answers. Liam had lived alone since his wife died in 2002. Two of his adult children lived within 10 miles or so of the family home. Another son lived in Donegal and two other sons were exiled in the US. The family remains close and, since Liam's death, united in grief and suspicion. On the evening of Saturday, January 11, he walked the 400m from his home into the village AT around 9.30pm. This was his routine, a chance for some socialising more than actually drinking. He went first to Peter Reynolds pub. Once inside the door he spotted Ann Vaughan whom he'd known for 30 years. Ann's sister had recently died and Liam went over and sympathised as he had only heard of the bereavement the previous day. Then he sat at the bar and slowly nursed a pint. Ann noticed somebody she described as a stranger sit in beside him. 'I had never seen him in a pub before,' Anne later said in a deposition. This stranger was wearing a dark suit and a black hat. She said she didn't like the look of this man, who was about 60, she reckoned. She didn't hear the conversation between the pair of them so she couldn't say where he was from. 'He had whitish hair and was plain-shaven. Himself and Liam was having a good conversation at the bar and I commented to my daughter that Liam must know this man. "The stranger was drinking a bottle of Coke. I watched as Liam ordered the second pint of Guinness. Liam drank down his pint and he said to the man he was going.' As he left, Liam turned to Ann and her daughter and said, 'I'll see ye, folks'. He was en route across the road to the village's other pub, the Weir Lodge. Ten or 15 minutes later, the stranger left. Ann was 'a bit unsure about the look of him'. A minute later she followed him out of the pub but there was no sign of him. 'He didn't cross the bridge [the Shannon flows through Rooskey] nor head up towards Liam's house because I would have seen him walking if he did. I don't know, nor can I be sure, where this guy went. "I came back into the pub and a few minutes later I went out again and I went up as far as the Weir Lodge to see if Liam Farrell went in there. I opened the door and just looked in and I saw Liam Farrell was sitting at the counter but he looked fine. I'm not sure who he was sitting with. There was a few at the bar around him. With that, she went back to Reynolds, any concern she had washed away. 'That was the last time I saw Liam alive,' she said. Liam Farrell's family considers the interaction with the stranger and what Ann Vaughan witnessed as highly relevant to what would happen their father. There is no other supporting evidence to provide further ballast to this theory. Liam had a dog at home, Marley, who was usually kept outside the house. At around 11pm that night, while Liam was still in the Weir Lodge, a neighbour who lives across the road heard a dog barking. Michael McLoughlin was watching the movie My Left Foot on TV. From his house he has a good view of the Farrell home. 'I heard a dog barking from Liam's residence,' he said in a deposition. 'At this point I took a look out my window at the Farrells' house.' He saw the front window lights were on which, he believed, was unusual. 'I didn't see anyone or anything at Liam Farrell's house at that point,' he said. Liam Farrell was a hard-working, humble man who had great faith. Liam left the Weir Lodge around midnight. He walked back home, a straight run at the side of the road, no big deal to a man like him. He arrived home, but what exactly happened thereafter has not been fully established. At 3.30pm the following afternoon, Liam's daughter Ann Carroll drove over from her home in Longford to check on him. They had been speaking on the phone the previous day but couldn't get a response on the Sunday. Entering the driveway, she noticed that the light in the front porch was on, which was unusual. Marley approached her when she pulled up at the gable end of the house. She got out of the Ford Mondeo and took with her a packet of sweets, a little something to satisfy her father's sweet tooth. She walked around to the rear of house. Habitually, everybody used the back door, including her father. When she turned the corner she saw her father lying on the ground. He was barefoot, his shoes and socks scattered nearby. There was a lot of blood on her father's shirt. His left eye was black from bruising. He was lying on his back, his head underneath the kitchen window. There were two coats near him, his red tie was also nearby, still knotted. Ann noticed the mop bucket near her father, the water in it turned red with blood. The mop was lying against the back wall. Then she saw her father's watch on the ground, part of it damaged. She got down now beside her father. 'Daddy, what happened you?' Ann said. 'Did you fall? Can you hear me? Wake up.' She touched her father's chest and his face and both felt cold. She rang her brother Brendan, told him what she'd found. He said he'd ring for an ambulance. 'I did not feel happy with the situation,' she would later say. 'I rang 999 and I asked for the guards.' At around 3.45pm, gardaí Brian O'Connor and Brendan Cafferky arrived at the scene from Carrick-On-Shannon station. By then, Brendan's wife Bernadette was there and her husband on his way. 'I made my way to the rear of the house where I viewed several items of clothing on the ground,' Garda O'Connor said. 'I viewed there was a pair of shoes, socks, and a jacket there. I also noticed that there was a €20 note and a €5 note that was in half. I also noticed that there was a wrist watch on the ground. I noticed that there was blood on the back door handle.' Within minutes, the gardaí also found Liam Farrell's house keys. They were on the ground at the entrance to the property, just in off the road and they were stained with blood. There were attempts to revive Mr Farrell but it was much too late for that. His body was taken away in an ambulance to Sligo hospital. Crime scene Before 5pm, detectives from Carrick had arrived at the house and the area was declared a crime scene. An investigation was conducted into Liam Farrell's death in the months that followed. This was at a time of covid, the lockdowns, the effective stilling of much work. Up to 100 interviews were conducted by the gardaí. Nobody was arrested. No suspect of a possible assault on the night Mr Farrell died was identified. During the investigation, the state pathologist Linda Mulligan was contacted and she compiled a report. Crucially, any investigation was compromised because Mr Farrell's body was examined by a hospital pathologist, rather than a forensic pathologist like Ms Mulligan. Ordinarily in this country, a hospital pathologist will perform an autopsy on a body where there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death. The state pathologist — forensic by training — will conduct the process where there are suspicious circumstances and any outcome can dictate the direction of an investigation into the death and relevant evidence. The autopsy on Liam Farrell was conducted by pathologist Paul Hatel in Sligo. He determined that the cause of death was, in layman's terms, a heart attack. While there would be subsequent dispute over the circumstances of Mr Farrell's death, his conclusions on causation were not disputed. Inquest The inquest into Liam Farrell's death didn't take place until September 11, 2024 and was conducted in Carrick-on-Shannon. The main point of dispute in the proceedings were around the circumstances of Mr Farrell's death. This centred on the evidence of three different pathologists. Mr Hatel was asked about the cause of death and then whether he had concluded anything about the external injuries to Mr Farrell, particularly the bruising around the deceased's left eye. He said it would be inappropriate for him to speculate on it. 'The presumption is, when a deceased body is brought to my morgue for me to perform an autopsy, that any consideration of foul play has been ruled out,' he told the coroner. 'So I would be operating under that presumption. If the body was felt to be in a death scene of suspicious circumstances, that would be a state pathologist case and that would go to the state pathologist. I would never see that body.' He said he was aware that a forensic pathologist acting for the Farrell family had criticism of his work but he rejected this. By any stretch, Mr Hatel had acted entirely professionally and reached a conclusion on the cause of death that was not disputed. The state pathologist Linda Mulligan, who had been called in by the gardaí at a later stage, concluded that the black eye could have suffered as a result of a fall or an assault. The totality of the evidence, including that found at the scene, led her to two possible scenarios, she told the coroner. 'One, the deceased suffered a heart attack, which we know he definitely did, and did not immediately collapse but attempted to gain entry to his house while confused and in pain. 'This resulted in a fall or falls, explaining the injuries and possibly an element of hypothermia,' she said. 'The second scenario is that another party was involved in the deceased sustaining the injuries, which led to a stress-induced heart attack.' The finding of Liam Farrell's keys at the entrance to the property could fit into either scenario. While there was blood stains on the keys, there was no trail of blood from there on to the house, and around the side to the back door area where Mr Farrell was found. The late Liam Farrell. If somebody had assaulted him at the entrance and brought him around the back, an issue could have arisen over the assailant demanding the keys but Liam showing he didn't have them any longer. Equally, if he suffered some form of cardiac event at the entrance, he may have fallen and injured himself and the keys may have fallen on the ground if he was in a disorientated state. His confusion could have been exacerbated at the back door when he realised he no longer had the keys. Liam Farrell had a mobile phone but he kept it in the house and hadn't brought it with him that evening. The third pathologist to give evidence was Jack Crane, former state pathologist for Northern Ireland. He was retained by the Farrell family, and concluded that Mr Farrell had been confronted by an intruder outside his home. 'He had clearly been assaulted by being struck a number of times in the face, possibly causing him to fall to the ground,' Mr Crane told the court. 'Whilst on the ground, he may have attempted to defend or protect himself against further attack resulting in injuries to his hands. 'It would appear that he had attempted to make his way back into his home but had eventually succumbed to the effects of his coronary artery disease exacerbated by the strain of the physical assault.' The last witness at the inquest was Liam's son, Peter Farrell, who now lives in Texas. He told of an encounter with a neighbour a few weeks after the funeral just before he was due to fly home. The neighbour intimated that there was something more to Liam Farrell's death than was believed to be the case. This neighbour did not give evidence. The coroner's court was told he was approached by gardaí for a statement but declined to give one. The jury returned an open verdict on the death of Liam Farrell. They recommended that if the house is declared a crime scene a forensic pathologist should attend. Investigation review Following the inquest, Garda commissioner Drew Harris ordered a review of the investigation. In April this year, senior gardaí met with the Farrell family in Carrick-On-Shannon to discuss the outcome of the review, which had made 23 recommendations. One of the recommendations was reported to be to consult an expert in labrador behaviour to assess whether Marley could have removed Mr Farrell's socks and shoes before his death. The family now wants their father's body exhumed because a forensic autopsy was not conducted. 'We want that done,' Peter Farrell says. 'That was denied our father.' He says that he and his siblings found the briefing with the gardaí after the review to unsatisfactory. They were briefed by one of the detectives involved in the original investigation, even though a senior investigating officer from another division had been appointed to conduct the review. 'It was all non specific,' he says. 'When we asked questions about the recommendations and about the gardaí involved we were told that was a matter for the commissioner,.' The family's solicitor, Frank Buttimer, has written to the Garda commissioner seeking a meeting where the Farrells' questions can be properly addressed. 'This family is in pursuit of justice on behalf of their late father and they continue to seek answers to issues that are clearly of obvious concern. I have written to the commissioner asking for a meeting. 'The family is aware of the confidentiality that attaches to Garda investigations and they respect that but they are equally concerned that some matters remain unaddressed.' A statement from the Garda press office confirmed that the review had been carried out and an update provided to the family. The recommendations have been 'supplied to the investigation team who are actioning them'. The statement adds that a full investigation was carried out, a file submitted to the DPP and no prosecution was recommended. 'A peer review is not a re-opening or a re-start of any criminal investigation,' the statement said. Read More
