Jenna Ortega and Danny Ramirez are about to learn that it’s not an abuela’s “chancla” you have to fear, but rather what happens when you come between her and her Doritos Dinamita.
In a 60-second-long Super Bowl ad, the “Wednesday” and “Scream” star’s grandmothers — and impeccably well-dressed, pantsuited Doritos Dinamita brand characters Dina and Mita (Olivia Negron and Patricia Mauceri) — chase after Ramirez after he takes the last bag of the coveted Doritos at a local supermarket.
From crashing into Ramirez’s car on their electric scooters to breaking into an apartment for a karate fight, only to then zip-line from it and down to the streets below to continue their chase — all while still having time to coo el “nieto” — Dina and Mita prove they’ll stop at nothing to secure their spicy chips.

The mysterious figure in the barn turns out to be Fiona Clarke (seat 23B), and Cal (Ty Doran) brings her back to the Stone house as Netflix’s Manifest season four episode 13 gets underway. It appears Fiona’s trapped in a calling and is so zoned out that Cal and Olive (Luna Blaise) can’t get any answers out of her.
Olive visits Ben (Josh Dallas) and uses code words to inform him they’ve located the missing Fiona Clarke and that she’s currently on the couch at home. Ben reveals Bill Daly is in the detention center but also isn’t able to talk.
Ben shows Olive a dead grasshopper and says the place is infested with them. Olive corrects him and quotes her grandmother, “May a plague of locusts fall upon you.

Ben’s dad, Steve, helps fix a sink while Cal (Ty Doran) watches. Cal’s sorry Steve had to go back to work to help support them, and he hates that he can’t get a job for fear of being discovered. Steve assures him it’s okay and that he needs to keep being careful.
Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) is having a horrible day, and a visit from Zeke (from the glow) is the only thing that brightens up her mood.

Manifest concludes its four-season run with the release of season four part two on June 2, 2023. Part one wrapped up with episode 10, “Inversion Illusion,” which found Zeke sacrificing his life to save Cal.
Zeke overheard Olive describing Cal as the dragon who can save everyone. If he dies, all is lost. Zeke, being the decent man we’ve come to know and love, knew he was the only one capable of pulling Cal back from the brink of death. Zeke’s now dead as part two picks up, and Cal’s in perfect health thanks to Zeke’s courageous act.
Zeke’s death leading to Cal’s survival was just one of the key events that transpired in episode 10. (Here’s a full recap for those who need a refresher.) Episode 11 picks up with all 828ers in confinement and...

Who lives, who dies? They decide… Three patients wait to see if they will live or die as a hospital committee decides to grant a lifesaving heart transplant to one of them. Seven years later the committee members struggle with the consequences of that fateful decision.
Austin Stark, director the 2015 political drama The Runner (which starred Nicolas Cage), steps back behind the camera for The God Committee – a film which is based on a stage play by Mark St. Germain which was called a cross between Twelve Angry Men and ER… Which, on paper, and on the stage, makes for an interesting premise. However on film, The God Committee is anything but interesting, instead it’s frustrating.

Spoilert Alert: This story contains details from the Season 3 finale of NBC’s Manifest.
Tonight, NBC’s Manifest came to the end of its third season, going out with a bang, as an original cast member met her end.
When two-part finale “Mayday” kicks off, one-time NYPD detective Michaela Stone (Melissa Roxburgh) is experiencing her “most powerful” calling ever. In it, she finds herself back on Flight 828, and sees that the Montego airliner is oozing with blood. She intuits, from this calling, that an 828er is going to get hurt, and sets out to stop that from happening.
Around the same time, Ben (Josh Dallas) and Grace Stone’s (Athena Karkanis) son Cal sneaks out of the house and heads to Project Eureka headquarters, in hopes of getting the Nsa to stop experimenting on the 828 tailfin. “It can’t be here anymore,” the boy says. “Otherwise, something bad will happen.

If you’ve ever doubted how quickly the world can change once an impasse is broken, consider the incredible case of the ABC soap opera One Life to Live, which is currently featuring a complicated love triangle among three gay male characters. Next week, two of them are planning to participate in a mass “protest” gay wedding ceremony that will also include a (faked) lesbian marriage involving one of the show’s long-time female characters.
But just two years ago, viewers of the CBS soap As the World Turns were growing increasingly frustrated because it seemed clear that the producers of that show were not allowing its two gay teen characters to kiss — a controversy that eventually spilled over into the mainstream media.
As the World Turn’s gay kissing moratorium was finally broken on April 23, 2008 — 211 eleven days after the characters kissed for the first time. But even then, it...

Patricia Mauceri is out, Saundra Santiago is in ... and younger
This weekend soap boards were abuzz with news that U.S. daytime television apparently lost another actor due to a gay storyline. (Chris Engen left The Young and the Restless earlier this month, reportedly in part over having to kiss another man.) This time it is One Life to Live's Patricia Mauceri who is being replaced by Saundra Santiago.
To nutshell it for you, Maureci's character (Carlotta Vega) was to have a "comedic" storyline in which she mistakenly believed her womanizing son Cristian (David Fumero, pictured below) was gay. Daytime Confidential reported that Mauceri personally objected to a gay-positive storyline while SoapCentral says not only was the actress already unhappy with the show, but the show might have deliberately provoked her into quitting.
Would you object if this man was gay?
