8. Allison Rafferty
Starting off with a controversial character, Allison Rafferty was only present in Season 2 but still divides fans. Some hate her for her prejudice against Shay just because she once knew a lesbian who wasn’t cool; others praise her professional ethics and attitude — but everyone agrees they’d like to see where she’s at now.
7. Jimmy Borrelli
Jimmy Borrelli was one of the candidates for Truck 81 in Seasons 4 & 5. His personality clashed with the discipline required of him and led to a tragedy: after disobeying Chief Boden’s orders, he was severely injured and lost an eye. While his firefighting career ended prematurely, fans would love to see how his life turned out. Despite his (Chicago) Fiery character, Borrelli didn’t deserve what happened to him.

Everyone’s favorite serial arsonist, Hadley was first introduced as a well-established member of Firehouse 51. If not for his pointless vendetta against his colleagues,...

Clive Barker's original tale "The Midnight Meat Train" was first published in 1984 as the kickoff story in Volume I of "The Books of Blood," a compendium of the author's short stories. "Midnight Meat Train" was about a British transplant to New York City, a boring office wonk named Leon who instantly becomes disillusioned with the city's overwhelming filth, as well as the reports of a serial killer named Mahogany — aka the Butcher — who has been killing people on subway trains in the middle of the night. Leon falls asleep on the train one night and wakes up to find Mahogany doing his dirty work. Leon manages to fend off and kill the attacking Mahogany but learns there's more to him than mere murder.

Much like its characters Hadley and Oliver’s relationship, the final shot of Netflix’s “Love at First Sight” — adapted from Jennifer E. Smith’s best-selling novel — came about by chance, but Smith loves the twist on her book’s ending that closes out the film.
Vanessa Caswill directed Katie Lovejoy’s screenplay for “Love at First Sight,” which brings Hadley Sullivan (Hayley Lu Richardson) and Oliver Jones (Ben Hardy) together in a twist of fate when Hadley misses her flight by just four minutes. Luckily for Hadley, who usually runs late with a barely-charged phone, her departure disaster connects her with Oliver, with whom she shares the next flight to London. By the time their plane lands at Heathrow Airport, the pair have fallen in love.
Oliver made sure to give Hadley his number when they had to split up so that she could get through the customs line,...

Let me put it this way: Netflix’s latest rom-com, Love at First Sight, took my 4/10 kind of day to a solid 6.5/10. That is me basically saying that the film, which I started watching only for work with less than the bare minimum expectation, made me feel good. There is a severe lack of good romantic comedies these days, which is particularly sad given the chaotic, misery-filled world we live in demands feel-good distractions. And the ones that Netflix churns out every now and then are mostly atrocities in the name of cinema. That is why I would compare coming across Love at First Sight to finding a needle in the haystack.
Amongst the movie genres, romantic comedy is probably the one that is sneered at the most by “Cinephiles.” This doesn’t make any sense to me, considering I have always been an admirer of both Richard Curtis and John Carney.

While the Netflix film adds nothing new to the rom-com genre it does provide you with enough entertainment that it is worthy of your time. Any rom-com needs its lead pairing to work perfectly and I think Richardson and Hardy have great chemistry in the film which makes Love at First Sight all the more enjoyable.

There's something uniquely thrilling about watching a horror movie. The anticipation, the jump scares, the eerie music – it all comes together to create an experience that, while terrifying, is also incredibly captivating.
But why do we subject ourselves to these cinematic frights? What is it about horror movie that keeps us coming back for more? The answer lies in the fascinating world of psychology.
The Thrill of Stimulation
One of the primary reasons we consume horror is to experience stimulation. According to the Harvard Business Review, exposure to terrifying acts, or even the anticipation of those acts, can stimulate us. This stimulation is not just mental, but physical as well. Our heart rate increases, our palms sweat, and our adrenaline spikes. We're on high alert, ready for whatever the film throws at us. This physiological response is part of the thrill of watching horror films. It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions,...

Brett Hadley, who starred as Genoa City police detective Carl Williams for more than a decade on the CBS soap opera “The Young and the Restless”, has died. He was 92.
Hadley died Wednesday, according to a Facebook post from his friend, Mary Ann Halpin.
“He has been my friend since I was 19 [y]ears old. We were in an acting class and were the bad kids in the class. We sat in the back and giggled,” she wrote, later adding, “I will miss his playful and deep conversation, his funny flirty giggle and twinkling eyes. He took his last bow and gracefully left us yesterday. Thank you to my dear sweet soul sister Darcy Lee Caplan for midwifing him out.”
Hadley’s friend of 30 years, Darcy Lee Caplan, confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that he died on Wednesday of sepsis at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills.

If you love “Junebug,” the 2005 indie that launched Amy Adams’ career, then you probably felt at the time as film critic Jan Stuart did. He’s quoted on the poster as saying, “It is only a matter of time before [director] Phil Morrison achieves the status of Jim Jarmusch, Gus Van Sant, and Woody Allen.” Well, that prediction never really came to pass. Morrison made one more feature, then turned his attention to commercials. Meanwhile, the film’s screenwriter, Angus MacLachlan, has slowly but surely emerged as an auteur of authentic stories representing the American South.
MacLachlan’s third film as director (and the first to be selected for Sundance featuring him in that role), “A Little Prayer” shares much of the sensibility — and sensitivity — that made “Junebug” so special. Once again, he’s written a modestly scaled but deep-reaching relationship drama about a white middle-class North Carolina family that believes in God,...
