We’re barely seconds into Jurassic Triangle when three nameless individuals run past something odd, a pile of logs, a tarp and what looks like a gas-powered garden tiller. Why would that be odd? Because they’re trapped on an uncharted island that’s overrun with dinosaurs and other strange creatures, not the kind of place you can run off to Peavy Mart for some gardening supplies, or hang around long enough to plant a garden for that matter.
The hapless trio quickly become dinner for the dinos, and we cut to Drew is waking up from a nightmare and remembering he’s on a helicopter with Issac, Beth and their pilot Captain “Call me Andy” Rawson.
It’s one of two choppers carrying corporate types...

Erinsborough is in for a rough time.
Nicolette, Wendy, and Sadie's well-intentioned protest against the school closure will quickly spiral out of control, becoming a full-fledged riot on Neighbours during the week of 12-04-23.
According to spoilers, it'll end with at least one person under arrest and one in the hospital with severe injuries, leading to serious drama.
As an American fan, I can't help drawing parallels to the events of January 6, 2021, though since Neighbours is an Australian series, that may be coincidental.
In any case, Susan tried to tell Nicolette that this was a bad idea, so I don't feel bad for Nicolette if she gets in trouble -- and spoilers say she will.
By the time the riot is quelled, not only has there been severe damage to the school building, but Melanie is seriously injured. Both these events will lead to Nicolette's arrest for organizing the rally.

Netflix released the teaser for the third season of “The Witcher,” starring Henry Cavill as the protagonist, Geralt of Rivia along with Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg, and Freya Allen as Cirilla, among others. The primary antagonist in the teaser is the Wild Hunt, and we’ll get into that in a moment, but the series also presents a few new characters aside from bringing back some older ones. The teaser looks great, replete with a gothic, dark, and sinister tone, as the fans gear up to see their hero, Henry Cavill, don the Witcher armor once more to take on monsters, both human and non-human. So, without any further ado, here’s a detailed breakdown of the teaser.
The teaser starts with Geralt opening the door of what looks like a dimly lit cave and taking a swig of the cat potion, giving his eyes the typical demonic widened pupils.
