Tori Roloff Explains Why She’s Really Struggling Right Now

Posted on October 1, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Tori Roloff is so very close to becoming a mother for the second time. She’s due to give birth next month, you guys. How exciting, right?!? So then… why is the Little People, Big World star actually feeling so down at the moment? The veteran reality star, who has been very open in regard to the challenges of this latest pregnancy, took to Instagram on Monday and opened up once again. She explained why she’s thrilled, of course, that she’s so close to meeting her impending daughter. But, well… “The last few days have really been a struggle for me. This last stage of pregnancy has hit me hard. I get so frustrated not being able to do things on my own,” she wrote to open a caption to the gorgeous photo below. What does she mean, exactly? Tori continued as follows: “I carried 6 towels up the stairs this morning to do some laundry and have been winded ever since. I’ve never been good at asking for help and these days that’s all I ever do.” Tori is carrying an actual human being inside of her womb. We’re pretty sure she’s doing plenty of work these days, but we’re also pretty sure millions of women around the world can relate to her right now. Concluded Roloff in this message: I know this is a time to be selfish and slow down but it’s so hard to sit around while my husband works and my 2 year old wants attention. I constantly feel serious FOMO. I know it’s all worth it and I’m doing such an important job but I can’t wait to tie my shoes on my own again. So very relatable, right? It must be difficult for young Jackson to understand that his mother just can’t be there for him in all the typical ways at  the moment. Tori and Zach are due to welcome a girl right around Thanksgiving. Just over a month later, Audrey and Jeremy Roloff will welcome a boy . And then some time after that, Amy Roloff will marry Chris Marek! Indeed, it’s a time for some major milestones for this family and we’re just appreciative that they let us celebrate along with them. Tori, meanwhile, continues to earn our admiration for her honesty. Two months after her pregnancy announcement, the TLC star admitted opened up about how self-conscious she was feeling. “I’m not sick (anymore) and I haven’t had any complications (thank the Lord),” she wrote on social media at the time. Roloff then added: “However, I have had a harder time accepting my body this go around. I’ve gotten bigger a lot faster than I did with Jackson and I’ve become a lot more insecure… “It’s been hard to really enjoy this pregnancy because I’ve let my own body image issues get in the way. Us as women are so badass. Like we can grow babies. “And I know I need to give this up to God right and be thankful for this gift, and I’m trying, trust me.” Hang in there, Tori. We all love you!

Hannah Brown and Alan Bersten: Are They Dating?

Posted on October 1, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

After this week's new episode of Dancing With The Stars , Hannah Brown continues to dazzle on the dancefloor. If only she were that lucky at love. But sometimes, the things we most want to find show up when we finally stop looking for them. Has Hannah found the man of her dreams, not on a televised date, but in her dance partner Alan Bersten? Hannah Brown went from hopping around the globe looking for her man to lighting up the dancefloor and looking for victory. Her dance partner is the young and handsome Alan Bersten, and the two are definitely one of the most talented and graceful teams this season. Naturally, some fans had to wonder if their chemistry on the dance floor translated to chemistry off camera. When Hannah held an Instagram Q&A, one of her fans straight-up asked her if she and Bersten are “a thing.” Hannah could have ignored the question — but instead, she answered. “Um, yeah, we’re a thing,” Hannah's reply begins in the video that we have included. She then delivers her punchline: “Team  Alanbama  Hannah.” That's right,  Alanbama . Very cute that she found a way to include his name without mashing it directly with hers. (Also, trying to mash up Hannah and Alan runs the very strong risk of the word  anal  appearing) In other words, if she and Alan are enjoying any windmills together, she's certainly not ready to reveal it. Another clip that Hannah shared to her Instagram involves her, still wtih Alan, discussing how much she enjoys training and improving. “OK, so we obviously have to look at each other when we dance,” Hannah shares. It's part of most dancers, naturally. “And when I had not been doing a step right and then I finally get it right,” she continues. “I can always tell by his face.” Hannah exclaims: “and I’m like, ‘Yes!’ That’s my favorite thing!”  Alan, in the same video, makes it clear that he's not giving her super subtle facial cues. “I smile when she gets it right,” Alan explains while flashing a dazzling smile of his own at Hannah's phone. “And,” he raves. “I just love dancing with her.” Alan expresses that “it’s a lot of fun.” We're sure that it is! The two of them move so beautifully across the dance floor and have been doing very well. Bobby Bones spoke to Life & Style about the all-too-familiar speculation that Hannah and Alan have faced. “They’re not dating,” Bobby says. “I mean they tried to rumor me with Sharna because we were both single,” he recalls. “Look, I know Alan,” Bobby notes. “I don’t feel like they’re dating and if you get two single people, you’re just going to assume that they’re together.” “I don’t think they’re dating, but it’s a very intimate thing,” he says of dancing. Bobby explains: “You’re so close with that person the whole time, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens.” Unfortunately, even if Hannah and Alan were boning, Hannah might have good reason to keep that knowledge to herself. She has faced a tremendous amount of slut-shaming from some truly reprehensible “fans” of The Bachelorette . Sex is a normal, though not universal, part of dating, yet some viewers acted scandalized that Hannah took the whole “dating” thing seriously. Some of them were just horny for Luke Parker and so they sided with him when he got extra weird, but others seem to just … have a problem with women. Sadly, whoever Hannah next dates, she's likely to face further shaming. It's hugely unfair. But at least she's a stellar dancer!

Jenelle Evans: Teen Mom 2 Ratings PLUMMET Without the Carolina Hurricane!

Posted on October 1, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It's been five months since Jenelle Evans was fired  by MTV. But since Teen Mom 2 was on hiatus at the time, we're only now finding out how the show will fare without its primary source of drama. So far, it seems the answer is – not well. Not well at all. According to The Ashley's Reality Roundup, ratings have been on the decline for years, but have taken a particularly sharp dive of late. In fact, they've suffered their most significant drop yet in the first episodes of Season 9B … a.k.a. the first episodes without Jenelle. Can the show survive without its most infamous star? Will the numbers drop so low that MTV will be forced to try and win her back? Even if that happened, does Jenelle have any interest in returning to the reality TV franchise that made her famous … and infamous? Here's what we know about the situation thus far: 1. The End of an Era Yes, after nearly a decade on camera, three children and more ups and downs than we can even count, Jenelle Evans is no longer a Teen Mom 2 cast member. And it seems the show is already suffering without its most marketable star. 2. A Controversial Star Jenelle was liked by many viewers, and even those who hated her loved to watch her. In fact, based on social media comments, it often felt as though the only thing preventing some viewers from fast-forwarding through Jenelle’s scenes was the joy of “hate-watching.” 3. The Nugget Incident Over the years, producers put up with a LOT of unseemly behavior from the Carolina Hurricane over the years, but they finally drew the line when she defended her husband after he beat, shot, and killed her French bulldog puppy, Nugget. 4. Put Out to Pasture Following that horrifying incident (and the ensuing CPS investigation that briefly cost Evans’ custody of her kids), MTV executives basically did to Jenelle’s career what David did to Nugget. 5. Good Riddance? To the immense satisfaction of many viewers fed up with her nonsense, Jenelle was fired from the show that made her famous. And since David had already been canned by producers, the Evans-Eason era was officially at an end. 6. The Last Laugh? Now, however, it seems that Teen Mom 2 and MTV might miss all those viewers who tuned in just to jeer at Jenelle – whether they loved her or loved to hate her. View Slideshow

Sofia Richie: See Her Keeping Up With The Kardashians Debut!

Posted on October 1, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It's not enough that Sofia Richie is trying to save Scott Disick's reality show . She wants a real reality career, and she's getting it. On this Keeping Up With The Kardashians preview teaser, Sofia makes her debut on the long-running series. We see her with Scott and Kourtney and, well, things admittedly get awkward . In the teaser trailer for Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Scott gets pretty blunt about spending time with Sofia and Kourtney together. “It is a really awkward situation,” the self-described Lord confesses. He is not the only one who feels that way. Speaking to the Konfessional Kamera, Kourtney admits: “It gets … bizarre.” “I want you and Sofia to be comfortable,” Scott is shown telling Kourtney. We then see Sofia eating beside Scott, pointing out that his behavior changes when it's not just the two of them. “You're a lot more sophisticated with me when Kourtney's around,” Sofia observes. Yes, we're absolutely going to unpack that momentarily. “But it does take, like, a toll on me,” Scott admits to Kourtney, speaking of his girlfriend and his ex spending time with him simultaneously. With a definite shift in tone, we hear a voiceover of Scott saying: “This trip has so much pressure!” Much of the teaser features Scott, Kourtney, and Sofia's faces while they are indoors. It's a very short trailer, so we're not surprised that there isn't a lot of visual context provided. Given that they're clearly at multiple locations in various outfits, fans can definitely look forward to more than one scene (obviously). And the end of the teaser gets a bit spicier. It appears that Scott, Kourtney, and Sofia all share a hot tub at one point. That's a little steamy … pun semi-intended. We promised to unpack Sofia's comment about Scott's behavior changing around Kourtney, and we intend to keep that. Notice that she didn't say that he changes his demeanor while they're around other people. Plehty of coulples do that. Sofia specifically accuses: “You're a lot more sophisticated with me when Kourtney's around.” That means that, of all of the people the two of them have spent time with, he does this specifically around Kourtney. And we think that we can explain why. One, everybody wants tos how off to their ex. They want to show that they've matured and are doing well for themselves. Two is probably that Scott is simply nervous about this girlfriend-meets-ex situation. Anxiety alters your behavior, even subconsciously. (That's why some of us are so polite!) But there's also the huge, mostly unspoken factor of the age gap. Kourtney turned 40 last April. At the time, Sofia was only 20 (she turned 21 in August). And Scott has been inside of them both. it is natural to speak differently to different people, but Scott may be defaulting to suit Kourtney rather than his much younger girlfriend. (Also, why is Scott giving off such weird Michael Scott from The Office energy in this still? Experts are baffled) Honestly, we already know that Sofia and Kourtney get along reasonably well — well enough to successfully vacation together with Scott. While this tragically is unlikely to turn into a polyamorously ever after situation with the three of them, we'll settle for amicable co-parenting. Kourt isn't just happy for Scott — she's glad that Sofia is a stabilizing influence in Scott's life. When Scott is a better person, he's a better parent.

Dancing With The Stars Recap: ANOTHER Contestant Injury!

Posted on October 1, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last week, it was a bit of a shock to see who went home on Dancing With The Stars . This week, Ray Lewis had to sit out from dancing, as training had awoken an old sports injury. He has to have surgery on the tendons in his foot. Producers were able to scramble and come up with a substitution, but that wasn’t the night’s only surprise. … Former winner Rashad Jennings stepped up to fill in for Ray, performing a Cha Cha with Cheryl Burke. This special substitution presented their best interpretation of what had been planned for Ray. Honestly, producers have to fill timeslots right down to the second. Then came Lauren Alaina and Gleb Savchenko performing a Tango. Lauren moves well, but she is not super confident or giving off the right vibes. It seems to be a mental thing, rather than physical. The judges decreed: 6 7 7 Hannah Brown and Alan Bersten were a joy as they performed the Rumba, and not only because of their choice of music. But also that. This was a surprisingly sub-par performance for Hannah, but only because Hannah is a great dancer. It was still very good. The judges agreed, handing out: 7 7 7 Karamo Brown and Jenna Johnson did not exactly wow the panel with their Jive. Remember, even the most fun formal dances are about controlled movements. Karamo’s were a little erratic, which was disappointing. The judges want to see better from him, and awarded him: 5 5 6 Ally Brooke and Sasha Farber performed a Rumba. This was a jarringly good performance and showed noticeable improvemen. Ally’s movements were beautiful and a pleasure to watch. The judges felt the same way, doling out: 8 8 8 Kel Mitchell and Witney Carson also came in with a Rumba. Kel’s dancing was a little stiff. It looks like he really just needs more experience with dance and he can improve — which is the point of the show. Though he ended up in the danger zone by the episode’s end, Kel received a 7 6 7 James Van Der Beek and Emma Slater were nothing short of majestic as they danced a Rumba. At this point James at least has some competition, but he continues to bully everyone with his graceful dancing and his charisma (despite one slip up). The judges ruled: 8 7 8 Kate Flannery and Pasha Pashkov continued their marked improvement since the first episode with a Quickstep. She really did well, with only one slip up. In fact, Kate seems to have an instinct for dance that makes her a joy to watch. That’s how the judges felt, too, as they handed her: 8 8 8 Sailor Brinkley-Cook and Val Chmerkovskiy danced a Tango. Sailor treated audiences to an almost too dazzling smile and moved with the grace of a professional. This is where you really see dance as an art form. The pleased judges handed her: 7 8 8 Lamar Odom and Peta Murgatoyd were … less improssive with their Tango. Lamar actually showed an observable improvement because there were moments when he really did well. But only part of the time. A number of slip-ups earned Lamar: 6 5 5 Sean Spicer and Lindsay Arnold weren’t fooling anyone with their Cha Cha. Sadly, it seems that Sean lacks a sense of rhythm as much as he lacks a sense of morality. He was too fast, he was too slow — at some point, he just seemed lost. Audiences understand the gimmick of having an infamous refrigerator-thief who should be behind bars for his role in the Trump regime on the show. But with a score from the judges of 5, 5, and 5, how long is he really going to stick around? Ultimately, Sean, along with Lamar and Kel, skated by this week because of Ray Lewis’ departure. Ray was the “elimination” by default. View Slideshow: Dancing With the Stars: Who Will Win Season 28?

Jenelle Evans’ Last Laugh: Teen Mom 2 Ratings Dip Without Her

Posted on October 1, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Reality TV producers often find themselves in the position of being forced to pull off a tricky balancing act: They’re tasked with creating a safe and productive work environment — and yet, it’s often they’re most erratic, short-tempered, and even violent cast members who keep the whole operation afloat. Teen Mom OG execs experienced this phenomenon first hand when ratings took a nosedive after Farrah Abraham was fired back in 2017. The latest drama magnet to get the ax, of course, was Jenelle Evans, who was fired from Teen Mom 2  after spending a solid decade demonstrating why she never should have been hired in the first place. There was a time when all the arrests, addictions, and abusive behavior actually made Evans an asset to the show, because … well, as a society, we never really matured past our Jerry Springer phase. Eventually, however, Jenelle took things too far. You probably know the story: Earlier this year, Evans’ husband, David Eason, beat, shot and killed the family dog , an 11-pound puppy named Nugget. Jenelle helped David cover up the crime, and an ensuing CPS investigation determined that her home was not a safe place for children to live. MTV took action as well, finally determining that Jenelle was too much of a legal liability to remain on the cast. Of course, her criminal insanity has made her a major draw from the very first episode of TM2, and there were concerns that her absence would create a drama vacuum. So now that Season 9B is underway, has the lack of Jenelle been felt in the ratings department? Well, as The Ashley’s Reality Roundup reports today , the answer to that complex question is — kind of. Teen Mom 2 was number 3 in the highly coveted 18-49 age demographic for all original cable telecasts last Tuesday night. While the show secured a .40 in sales demo ratings, it came in with only 784,000 viewers. Obviously, that’s a major drop from the series’ heyday when it regularly pulled in more than 1 million viewers per episode. But demo numbers are what really matters, and as long as you’re pulling in a good-sized chunk of the young adult audience, as TM2 is, you’ll always be attractive to advertisers. However, that doesn’t mean producers are sitting pretty. Trajectory is important, and TM2 numbers have been slipping all season. The show started Season 9B with 810,000 viewers and a .45 demo ratings score, but the following week, it slipped to 787,000 viewers and .41 in the demo ratings. As for the Jenelle factor, there’s no denying that Season 9A (the last to feature Evans) enjoyed greater success, with 988,000 viewers and a .48 in demo ratings. But those numbers dipped as the season wore on, and there’s no saying how much this latest fall has to do with Jenelle, and how much of it is just the result of fatigue over a very long-running show. Of course, the drop is not unexpected. Even longtime Jenelle rival Kailyn Lowry admitted that Evans’ absence would likely affect the show’s ratings. “I think that people did watch the show for Jenelle,” Kail told TMZ in May. “I don’t think that can be denied.”  “I definitely think the rest of us have enough to keep the franchise going, and I hope that’s what happens,”  Fortunately, there’s no cause for Kail and the other moms to be concerned.  Teen Mom OG was recently renewed for a tenth season, and The Ashley’s sources tell her MTV is likely to follow suit with TM2.

Mackenzie McKee: I’m SO Done with My Husband — Probably!

Posted on September 26, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Mackenzie McKee was barely in the last season of Teen Mom OG, but man, there was more than enough to cement her place in the show, right? The scenes with her mother tugged at everyone's heartstrings, and as if that wasn't enough to inspire viewers to tune in, there was also plenty of drama with her husband, Josh. Like, enough that they're now headed for a divorce. And according to some new statements she just made on Instagram, she's more than ready for the divorce to be finalized … 1. So Many Troubles Let’s be real, Mackenzie and Josh have never had a picture perfect relationship. 2. Memories He got her pregnant when they were teenagers, securing her spot on Teen Mom 3, and they went on to get married and have two more children together, but like … they were hardly “goals” or anything. 3. Dang It, Josh Honestly, it seemed like Josh simply tolerated Mackenzie at best. 4. Well … That’s why it wasn’t too surprising when their marriage blew up on the last season of Teen Mom OG. 5. Bringing the Drama Mackenzie popped up on the show towards the end of the season as a bit of a trial run — the idea seemed to be that if she did well, MTV would offer her a permanent spot. And, well, it seems like she really did her best. 6. Poor Angie For one, she’s currently dealing with her mother, who is suffering from cancer and was given just six months to live back in the spring. The scenes featuring this have been heartbreaking, but a lot of people have related to it as well. View Slideshow

Laura Jalalli Mooched Off Her Son, Can NEVER Return to America!

Posted on September 26, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This week, 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way viewers were totally weirded out by Liam and Aladin’s awkward bath house conversation . Some fans thought that Liam was too far, that he was being rude and selfish and even childish, wanting his mom to come home and take care of him. Now, however, we’re learning that the truth is the opposite.  AnDre Leila took to social media in an impassioned defense of his son, Liam. “Just wanted to set things straight,” the clarifying post begins. “To anyone who says Liam is dumb or disrespectful,” he addresses his message. “Or has mental problems.” He asserts: “You people are dumb as s–t.” Wow. Tell us how you really feel, dude. “For one thing, Laura was living off of Liam in Floriday,” Leila reveals. “He made the money,” he reveals. “And supported the household.” The post continues: “So he does not want money from her.” Some had speculated that Liam wanted Laura to return to the US so that he could mooch off of her. Leila states that it’s quite to the contrary, “’cause she is broke as f–k.” “Another thing,” Leila writes. “Is he was not rude to that dude.” He says that “TLC cut and spliced film to make it look like he was disrespectful.” Apparently this was “so all you idiots could talk about it like this.” That … is very easy to believe, actually. What follows, folks, is getting into spoiler territory. Be warned. “Laura is already divorced from that dude and is living in Ecuador for whatever reason,” Leila writes. Yes, we have already reported that Laura and Aladin are divorcing and that Laura is currently in Ecuador with Evelin. He argues: “You can’t fault a kid for loving his mom and wanting what’s best for her.” “You don’t know what he has gone through,” the post continues. “With all of the red neck f–ks she has dated.” We can imagine. Sometimes very nice and loving mothers have abhorrent taste in men. “Trust me,” Leila tells anyone reading. “Laura is a crazy mess.” In contrast: “Liam is a very level-headed, intelligent kid.” His post concludes: “I know this because he is my son!” It’s good to hear that explained, even if it is by a third party who was not present at the time. Incidentally, we have heard other things about Laura that may explain even more — things that even Liam’s father does not know. Laura was reportedly served with divorce papers from Aladin while she was filming the Tell All special. So what do we know that Liam’s father does not? Well, for one thing, she’s in Ecuador to hang out with Evelin … possibly because she has no other place to go. And why is that? Because she’s spent the past few decades living in Florida … but she’s not a native Floridian. Nor is she even an American. If reports are to be believed, Laura Canadian. And apparently she was in Florida as an undocumented immigrant for all of this time. Her son is an American and was providing her with a roof over her head for years. Now, Liam can’t house his mother anymore and she has to figure out her next move because she can’t return to the US. It’s no wonder that Liam was so, so concerned about his mother. She can never come back home. No jiggy-jiggy is worth that. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance The Other Way Spoilers: Do Tiffany and Ronald Make It?

Hayden Panettiere Refuses to Testify Against Ex-Boyfriend, Domestic Violence Case Dismissed

Posted on September 26, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Surprising news out of a Los Angeles County courtroom today, as Radar Online is reporting that Brian Hickerson — the controversial boyfriend of actress Hayden Panettiere — will not be charged with domestic assault . Hickerson was arrested back in May after police responded to a 911 call from Hayden’s neighbors. The case appeared to be open and shut, as neighbors testified that they heard sounds of an argument, followed by a female voice crying out in pain. It was later revealed that Hickerson had been charged with brutally beating Panettiere three times over the course of two days and was expected to serve time behind bars for the attacks. In a stunning turn of events, however, Panettiere refused to testify against her ex in court. According to Radar, Hayden’s family was contacted and informed that if the actress did not show up for today’s hearing, the prosecution would be left without witnesses and would have no choice but to drop the charges. It’s possible that the DA might subpoena Panettiere at a later date, which would mean re-filing charges against Hickerson. “If they subpoena her, they’d reopen the case,” a source close to the case tells Radar. The insider revealed that Hayden’s family is “disappointed” in the outcome but uncertain as to whether or not they should encourage the actress to take the steps necessary to see that Hickerson is brought to justice. “With all the evidence the police had, it’s not enough even without Hayden? It’s a fault in our judicial system,” says the informant. “It is not on Brian’s own good behavior that this got dismissed. It doesn’t change who is and what he has done. He is a criminal.” Despite the perceived miscarriage of justice, it seems likely that Hickerson will not face a second trial, as it appears that Hayden would prefer to simply move on with her life. According to the source, she and Hickerson “planned this” outcome, and the charges were “never going to go through” per an arrangement they reached ahead of the trial date. “It doesn’t shed a good light on Hayden,” says the insider. “It’s a bad choice to avoid the summons and not follow through,” the source continues. “It’s certainly not the end of the journey for Hayden or Brian.” We’d like to point out that it’s important to avoid victim-shaming in a case such as this, and it’s crucial Hayden do whatever is best for her mental health If there’s any bright side to this situation, it’s that Hayden and Brian appear to have finally parted ways. Unfortunately, it looks as though the actress and her ex still run in the same social circle due to the fact that Panettiere is now dating Hickerson’s brother . We’ll have further updates on this ongoing story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: 21 Celebrities Accused of Domestic Violence

Chicago Fire Creator Explains Stunning Season Premiere Death

Posted on September 26, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

WARNING! CHICAGO FIRE SPOILERS AHEAD! Stop reading right now if you have not yet watched Chicago Fire Season 8 Episode 1 — and if you have plans to do so.  Over the past 7 seasons, Chicago Fire has certainly included its fair share of heartbreaking storylines and near-death experiences. However, this intense and shocking season premiere took things to an entirely new level, basically eliminating the whole near -death part of the experience. The episode picked up mere seconds after season 7 cut to black, with the basement fire threatening everyone’s lives. While everyone seemed to be accounted for, Joe Cruz heard the distress signal alarm going off, which informed the group that a firefighter was not breathing. GULP .  It was at this point that he found Otis… badly burnt and unconscious. But no way would the series kill him off, right? Sorry, folks: Wrong. Once everyone arrived to the hospital, while Otis was still breathing, the group was informed he wouldn’t make it. Otis is dead, you guys. Before taking his final breath, Otis turned to Cruz in the hospital and said a Russian phrase. It translated to: “Brother, I will be with you, always.” Cue ALL the tears. Watch Chicago Fire Season 8 Episode 1 Online Following the episode, co-creator Derek Haas spoke to Us Weekly and answered spoke about the details and the basis behind this stunning passing. WHY DID THE SHOW DECIDE TO KILL OFF OTIS? We’ve had characters injured and characters leave the show, but if you keep pulling that football then the audience just stops believing that the dangerous situations are actually dangerous. So we decided we should do it. We should make this one really have consequences that set up the new season and have characters having to now deal with the death of a colleague in their own ways. HOW WILL CRUZ MOVE FORWARD FROM HERE? It’s gonna be a rough road. He’s gonna deal with it, honestly, in a cycle of emotions, in a cycle of different ways and it’s gonna last a while. I do think there are good days and there are bad days for everyone. I know when my father-in-law died, who I was really close with, I called it “Catching a wave.” Every now and then you just get this wave that would hit you in the least expected moment. So I think we’re gonna see those kind of things and not just with Cruz, with other characters too. ON A SEPARATE NOTE, WHERE ARE THINGS GOING BETWEEN SEVERIDE AND KIDD? I think he’s gonna try to live up to the words that he said to her in the finale, just to be the boyfriend, the man that she deserves. There’s gonna be pressures on them, but it’s not pressures on their relationship as much as external pressures on them as people. What’s interesting about it is the way that they support each other. Chicago Fire airs NBC Wednesdays at 9/8c. What did YOU think of this death? Did you see it coming?!?
