Blue Jays hope to continue winning ways against Giants
The Toronto Blue Jays look to carry on their winning ways when the San Francisco Giants, the third-place team in the NL West (as of writing), visit for a three-game series. The final game in the Major League Baseball series broadcasts live from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Sunday, July 20, Roku.
After a tepid start to the season, the Blue Jays have consistently stayed over .500 during May and June, placing them just short of the New York Yankees for top spot in the AL East. Their success has been helped by the performance of shortstop Bo Bichette and his solid .272 batting average, 11 home runs and 49 RBIs. With the most at-bats in the American League, Bichette will certainly be counted on to put up some offensive numbers against the Giants.
On the other side of the mound, the Giants have struggled to stay above .500. Coming into July, the team lost six of its last seven games. However, it’s best to never count out a team on the back foot, especially with the likes of Heliot Ramos having comparable stats to Bichette (.272 batting average, 13 home runs and 44 RBIs).
No matter their standings, fans should expect a competitive game when the Blue Jays and Giants collide Sunday, July 20, at the Rogers Centre.

Making ‘Washington Black’: Edugyan novel gets adaptation on Hulu
Esi Edugyan’s work resonates. By envisioning a 1960s-era Ghanaian civil servant who birthed an African American settlement in Amber Valley, Alberta, after he inherited land in her debut novel “The Second Life of Samuel Tyne,” Edugyan paved the way for the breadth of humanity she would go on to cover in her later works.
Fourteen years later in 2018, the Calgary, Alberta, native’s literary world expanded beyond that of her own home province as the epic tale of young George Washington Black led her from Barbados to Nova Scotia and along the Underground Railroad to a new life. Hailed by Kirkus Reviews as “a thoughtful, boldly imagined ripsnorter that broadens inventive possibilities for the antebellum novel,” “Washington Black” — the name of the character and his story — now becomes a television series.
Designed as an eight-part limited series, “Washington Black” premieres Wednesday, July 23, on Hulu.
The story of George Washington Black’s life is a harrowing one, described by the Library Journal as “a life so circumscribed that he’s not even allowed to end it.” Beginning in 1830s Barbados, readers — and now viewers — are introduced to their main character: Washington Black (Ernest Kingsley Junior, “War of the Worlds”), also known simply as “Wash,” an 11-year-old boy born and raised on a sugar plantation and quite literally dying for freedom at his young age.
When he meets the estate owner’s nephew, Christopher “Titch” Wilde (played in the series by “Lucifer’s” Tom Ellis), a sudden traumatic incident forces Wash to flee his imposed routine of hard labor to seek
both adventure and education by way of his new connections. For a decade, Wash accepts all the luck, generosity and kindness bestowed upon him, but even years later as he looks back upon the events of his life, Wash wonders why, of all the slaves on Titch’s uncle’s plantation, he was selected to lead a free and fulfilling life.
“As he navigates uncharted lands and impossible odds,” the show’s official description reads, “Wash finds the courage to imagine a future beyond the confines of society.”
Co-showrun and executive produced by Selwyn Seyfu Hinds (“The Twilight Zone”) and Kimberly Ann Harrison (“The Crossover”), “Washington Black” also counts “This Is Us” star Sterling K. Brown among its many executive producers. Interviews to promote the show clearly illustrate Brown’s pride to be a part of the series behind the scenes, although Brown hopes his onscreen role as Medwin Harris also inspires “belief and hope for modern audiences” (per USA Today).
As the “de facto mayor” of Halifax’s Black community, Harris “relishes his role in creating community, knowing that there is safety in numbers,” Brown said in an email statement to USA Today, adding that “through his relationship with this young man [Wash], he [Harris] learns that being safe and being free aren’t necessarily the same thing. And while he tries to teach Wash what is necessary to survive, Wash winds up showing him what it means to truly live.”
“Washington Black” also stars Eddie Karanja (“The Sandman”) as young Wash; Iola Evans (“Choose or Die,” 2022) as

Jonathan Jackson
OF GENERAL HOSPITAL ON ABC/HULU
Q: It’s been nice to have Jonathan Jackson back as Lucky on “General Hospital.” Why is he leaving again?
A: It came down to logistics, from what the actor-musician-author has said. He resides in Tennessee with his wife (“General Hospital” alum Lisa Vultaggio) and three children, but he thought he could make the commute to California over the long haul to tape the weekday ABC serial (which is also available on Hulu). Ultimately, that proved not to be as workable for him as he had hoped, resulting in the decision to leave the show again. He had been absent from the show for a while earlier this year, with Guy Wilson (“Days of Our Lives”) stepping in for him then.
His character, Lucky Spencer — son of the iconic Luke and Laura, the couple famously played by Anthony Geary and Genie Francis — concluded that he had to leave Port Charles after Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) rejected his marriage proposal. Lucky didn’t feel as strong a connection to the locale, but he also reasoned that he couldn’t stay there comfortably if he couldn’t be with her.
Frank Valentini, the executive producer of “General Hospital,” has said that Jackson is welcome back anytime. The performer thanked Valentini for approving of the travel schedule that allowed for Lucky’s return last year, after a decade-long absence from the daytime drama. Jackson first appeared as Lucky in 1993, and his original run basically continued until 1999. He returned in 2009 and stayed until 2011, when he left to join ABC’s prime-time show “Nashville.” He’s won five Daytime Emmy Awards for his portrayal of Lucky.

Wentworth Miller
Q: What ever happened to Wentworth Miller from “Prison Break”?
A: After going from near-obscurity to being one of the biggest stars on TV, Wentworth Miller (“Underworld,” 2003) branched out a little, then did more “Prison Break,” then settled into a long-running role in a whole new universe. But “Prison Break” still won’t quite let him go.
His role as Michael Scofield, a building engineer who essentially breaks into prison to help his brother break out, brought the young Miller to fame in 2005. When it initially ended in 2009, Miller leapt at the chance to try new things. For example, he starred in the hit hor -
ror-action film “Resident Evil: Afterlife” in 2010, and then branched out into writing and producing with the award-winning 2013 indie film “Stoker.”
Soon after, Miller took on the role of Leonard Snart, also known as Captain Cold, in the DC Comics series “The Flash” on The CW. He kept that up while also appearing, in the same role, in the sister series “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” part of the wider DC universe that CW had going on.
But even with all that on his plate, he couldn’t resist the invitation to return to his “Prison Break” role when Fox aired a revival season in 2017.
And now, he’s returning to those days
“Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+”Season 1 (July 22)
A continuation of the beloved, Emmy Award-winning original series, “Clubhouse+” welcomes the next generation of preschoolers and their families to the clubhouse for all-new, plussed-up adventures with Mickey, Minnie and their pals. Filled with songs, laughs and fun surprises, the new series introduces Little Helper, a handy helping friend; Du y the Disney Bear, Mickey’s trusted teddy; and amusing additions to the clubhouse like the Laughing Loft and the Wacky Tube.
again, in a fashion: he and “Prison Break” co-star Dominic Purcell (“Blade: Trinity,” 2004) are reportedly working on a new show together. “Snatchback” is about a team of hostage rescuers and is said to be based on a true story.
But before you get too excited, I should warn you: news of this first broke a year ago and nothing else has been said since, so this one may be dead in the water.
If it doesn’t get picked up, Miller has plenty of other things going on, thanks to his sideline as a screenwriter. He’s written three other scripts that have yet to be produced, according to IMDb.com. However those, too, have been sitting around a while.

Q: What’s Gary Oldman doing these days, and (fingers crossed) is it more “Slow Horses”?
A: I have some good news for you, and some better news: Gary Oldman (“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” 2011) has wrapped filming on a fifth season of “Slow Horses,” due out in September, and Apple TV+ has already renewed it for a sixth as well.
Oldman stars as the slovenly but brilliant English spy Jackson Lamb in the Apple TV+ thriller based on a book series by Mick Herron. The show has been a massive hit for the streamer, both with audiences and critics, so it makes sense that they’re still invested. But the degree of their enthusiasm is pretty impressive: they bought the sixth season last fall, when the fourth season had just finished airing.
For his part, Oldman says he’s all-in on the role. “It’s up to Apple whether they keep us on the air, because they write the cheques,” Oldman told IndieWire’s Ben Travers last year. “But if they’re happy to keep us on the air, then I’m very happy to do this and do all eight books.”
So far, each season of the show has (roughly) covered the plot of one book. So Oldman, at least, is suggesting the show could go to eight seasons — or even beyond, as author Herron is still writing new novels.

Change is the name of the game during Season 7 of “Welcome to Plathville,” premiering Tuesday, July 22, on TLC.
Making their television debut in 2019, the Plath family — composed of parents Kim and Barry Plath alongside their nine children — has been allowing faithful viewers to learn more about their life in small-town Georgia long enough for fans to bond with their blond-haired, blue-eyed brood. While the series once revolved around the family’s dedication to its religion, its old fashioned ideals and to making music, much has changed since TLC first introduced us to the bunch.
As Season 6 came to a close in October 2024, many were keen to notice that relationships within the Plath family were changing episode to episode, especially as Kim and Barry navigated their divorce and ongoing duty as co-parents.
Meanwhile, Ethan Plath — the family’s eldest son — ended his tumultuous marriage to Olivia after years of apparent struggle, and younger brother Micah brought forth relationship drama of his own with his new girlfriend, Veronica, who wasn’t keen to be featured on cam-
era. With a family in the midst of turmoil, many fans were eager to see what came next for the once tight-knit Plaths. According to TLC, this upcoming season is set to follow the family as its members continue to navigate past relationship conflicts, all while introducing new tensions — including the ongoing divorce proceedings between Barry and Kim, Micah and Veronica’s rocky romance and daughter Lydia’s impending nuptials to fiancé Zac.
As Collider explained, “In a family with nine siblings, many of them are at different stages of dating and courtship. But it seems each time a new addition joins the family, trouble soon follows.”
Additionally, Season 7 will also explore the ever-changing dynamics between the growing Plath children and their parents, as some wish to rebuild and rekindle their relationships with both Kim and Barry, while other children prove themselves dedicated to forging new paths forward.
Sure to be a season filled with drama, relationship woes and new frontiers, “Welcome to Plathville” returns to TLC Tuesday, July 22.
