*Warning – contains spoilers for Grantchester season 11, which is yet to air in the UK.* Grantchester writer Daisy Coulam has revealed that Robson Green’s DI Geordie Keating was almost killed off in the 11th and final season of the beloved ITV crime drama. Keating was shot and left fighting for his life in the instalment, which is set to air in the UK next year after premiering on Masterpiece in the US earlier this year – but ultimately survived. However, he almost met a very different fate, Coulam has revealed in an interview with The Mirror. She explained: “I mean the amount of times we tried to be like, ‘He should die. He should definitely die’. I mean he died probably about four times in the story meeting and we just couldn’t do it. It would just be too big.” She continued: “You’re like ‘No, because you need that moment at the end’. You need hope and you need joy because it’s a (platonic) love story and you need your two lovers alive at …

(RNS, El PASO MATTERS) — The Trump administration is scrapping plans to convert a nearly 1 million-square-foot Socorro, Texas, warehouse complex into a mega immigration detention center and training center for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-El Paso, said Tuesday (Aug. 11). The complex was originally envisioned as the largest immigration detention facility in the country. Escobar said in a statement that the Department of Homeland Security has transferred the Socorro warehouses to the General Services Administration, the agency in charge of federal properties. “This means the warehouses will be put up for sale and they will no longer be used by the federal government for detention purposes,” Escobar said. In recent weeks, DHS had indicated it was moving away from a plan begun earlier this year by then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to buy and convert 11 warehouse complexes across the country for use as detention facilities in support of the Trump administration’s mass deportation policies. “DHS is moving swiftly to utilize EXISTING detention space with our state and county partners,” a …

Spanning the years 2017 to 2026, the documentary celebrates Barker’s life both before and after the transformative accident, a defining moment in a milestone-filled career. The project initially served as a screen adaptation of his 2015 memoir, “Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums.” However, the narrative evolved after a producer suggested closing the film with Barker—then unable to fly because of post-traumatic stress disorder—merely walking toward a plane. Barker resisted an ending “where this thing still has power over me,” opting instead to board the aircraft at the conclusion. The documentary finishes with a slide show of family photographs, featuring his …

The season three finale of HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel aired on Sunday (9 August), and it firmed up the playing pieces for what’s sure to be a dramatic final season. One such event was the death of Helaena Targaryen (Phia Saban), who, having been imprisoned by Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), jumped out of a window and got impaled by spikes. For Saban, getting the call informing her of her character’s fate didn’t leave her feeling sad, but honoured. “I did get such a call – I sort of saw it coming, really,” Saban told Entertainment Weekly.
