Coronation Street’s Ken Barlow caught in crossfire as Daniel lashes out

Coronation Street’s Ken Barlow caught in crossfire as Daniel lashes out

Published by Daniella Wilson

Ken Barlow (William Roache) has reached breaking point with son Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) in Coronation Street. Earlier this week, Daniel broke down at work when Lily Platt (Grace Ashcroft-Gardner) and Jake Windass (Bobby Bradshaw) asked intense questions about his former relationship with paedophile Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon). Hope Dobbs (Isabella Flanagan) came to his rescue, and it became clear that he was in no state to return to Weatherfield High. The abuse from his pupils was just the tip of the iceberg. Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances Brown) had been writing vile messages about him online under the pseudonym Truthteller, in the hope he would continue to see her as a pillar of support and allow her to stay at his flat long-term. She felt guilt-ridden, and although she stopped, an imitation account – Truthteller2 – was launched. Daniel was even ambushed in the street by a group of teenagers, who were armed with ketchup bottles.

Daniel Day-Lewis Is Going Through a Khaki Phase

Daniel Day-Lewis Is Going Through a Khaki Phase

Published by Jenni Sidey

For all of his acting bonafides (to the tune of a shellful of Academy Awards and BAFTAs), the reason we here at GQ keep coming back to Daniel Day-Lewis is simple: We really like the way he dresses. His off-duty workwear outfits, pre-trend hoop earrings, and enviable off-beat tailoring have made him a longstanding fit god around these parts. The only problem, then, is that the retired actor rarely makes public appearances. But you know how it goes—absence, it makes the heart grow fonder. It’s with great joy that we announce that Mr. Day-Lewis was spotted on the streets of New York City this week. For years, the thespian has turned the concrete jungle into his private runway, and he did it yet again during a stroll with his wife, the filmmaker Rebecca Miller, on Thursday. Walking arm in arm with his better half, Day-Lewis wore a full khaki ensemble: a four-pocket zip-up flight jacket by Americana repro brand The Real McCoy’s, chinos, and desert boots. He accessorized with a yellow neckerchief and a trucker …

Coronation Street airs dark turn for Daniel Osbourne amid online torment

Coronation Street airs dark turn for Daniel Osbourne amid online torment

Published by Daniella Wilson

Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) has reached breaking point in Coronation Street amid his trolling ordeal. The floor fell from beneath his feet when Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) addressed his concerns about Daniel’s girlfriend Megan Walsh’s (Beth Nixon) relationship with teenager Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale). He was present when police arrested her, and was totally convinced by her insistence that Will just had a schoolboy crush. At this point, Megan was pregnant. She hoped that police would believe Daniel was the father, and that she’d decided to keep it from him for fears that he wasn’t ready to become a parent again. Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) explained that the only real way to prove her innocence would be to undertake DNA testing, though Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) – who was acting in her defence – reminded him that she couldn’t be forced to undertake the assessment. Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) was targeted with ketchup. ITV Later, Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) revealed the pregnancy news to Daniel. He wanted answers from Megan, and was in disbelief when she …

Harding, 50, primarily known for his work with European ensembles, has signed a six-year contract set to commence with the 2027-28 season, the LA Phil announced on Tuesday. This marks his first appointment by an American orchestra, though he made his U.S. professional debut with the same ensemble in 1997. “It couldn’t have come a day sooner. I’m very glad it didn’t come a day later,” he said in a telephone interview from his Paris home. “The perfect timing, the right moment, and here we go.” He will initially conduct eight weeks in his first season, expanding to 12 …

Los Angeles Philharmonic names Daniel Harding its next music director

Published by Sam Flores

The Los Angeles Philharmonic announced Tuesday that it has named Daniel Harding the orchestra’s 12th music director, ending three years of intense speculation over the orchestra’s future after Gustavo Dudamel leaves in August to head the New York Philharmonic. Harding will begin a six-year contract for up to a dozen weeks of concerts a season, beginning in the fall of 2027, roughly 30 years after the British prodigy made his U.S. debut conducting the L.A. Phil at the 1997 Ojai Festival. It was a nervous-making trial by fire that began as a nail-biter. But by the festival’s end, the wunderkind had excitingly found his way with the orchestra. Harding has since become a favorite, if occasional, L.A. Phil guest conductor while rising to the top rungs of the international orchestral circuit, along with obtaining a commercial flying license and piloting, now and then, for Air France. He led a pair of superior Rachmaninoff programs in his belated debut at the Hollywood Bowl last summer shortly after one of Dudamel’s greatest Bowl performances ever. Harding so …

Daniel Sikkema Found Guilty in Plot for Dealer Brent Sikkema’s Death

Daniel Sikkema Found Guilty in Plot for Dealer Brent Sikkema’s Death

Published by José Betancourt

Daniel Sikkema, the estranged husband of murdered New York art dealer Brent Sikkema, was found guilty Friday in a Manhattan federal court, according to the Wall Street Journal. Daniel Sikkema faced charges tied to a murder-for-hire plot that prosecutors said led to the dealer’s killing at his vacation home in Rio de Janeiro in 2024.  The case has gripped the art world since Brent Sikkema, the founder of the Chelsea gallery then known as Sikkema Jenkins & Co., was found stabbed to death in Brazil at age 75. Prosecutors argued that Daniel Sikkema orchestrated the killing from New York amid a bitter divorce and custody dispute involving the couple’s son.

According to court filings and testimony presented during the trial, Prevez entered Brent Sikkema’s Rio townhouse in the early hours of January 14, 2024, grabbed a kitchen knife, and stabbed the dealer 18 times while he slept.  Jurors convicted Daniel Sikkema on three …

Stephen Sondheim by Daniel Okrent review – a superb biography of the musical master | Biography books

Published by Sam Flores

Among the many great pleasures of Daniel Okrent’s new biography of Stephen Sondheim – a book perfectly weighted between the gossipy and erudite – is its rendering of the milieu beyond its immediate subject. You come for the biography and stay for the world of mid-20th-century New York, in which Leonard Bernstein says terrible things about Sweeney Todd (“disgusting”), Sondheim says terrible things about Barbra Streisand (“doesn’t have one sincere moment left inside her”), and Arthur Laurents says terrible things about everyone. In the early 2000s, during a particularly poisonous exchange of letters between Laurents and Sondheim, the latter told his old collaborator, “you’re just good enough to know you’re mediocre”. The entire book is sheer delight and Okrent, formerly an editor at the New York Times and a baseball fanatic who effectively invented the modern fantasy baseball league, does a terrific job of telling Sondheim’s life story alongside shrewd analysis of his body of work. We meet Sondheim’s mother, known as Foxy, whom the writer and composer made an elaborate play of hating his …
