  1. You are assuming that means they were a throuple. Maybe one of a couple was having an affair.
  2. The little one arrived a bit early. A new pic was added to the above link. Our baby boy, Remi Lewis, was born 3 weeks early on Nov 12, 2024 weighing 7lbs 9oz Remi is currently in intensive care after a stressful few weeks, but he is being well looked after and we can’t wait to be able to take him home to be with his big brother Micah. https://www.instagram.com/eloisechiles_/reel/DCY9XfDobNQ3Tb2Fcx0E8aHIZkdq05IgSr03Sk0/ I’ve tasted a lot of protein bars in my time, but the new @optimumnutrition_uk protein bars are packed full of protein and actually taste 👌🏽 https://www.instagram.com/ash_thephysique/reel/CuFJqESJckJ/
  3. same story, different name... A New York model who has appeared on red carpets and ads for Calvin Klein and Levi’s was being held in a Bronx cell Sunday, charged with fatally stabbing a 35-year-old father in a Bronx apartment last week. Dynus Saxon, 20, appeared Friday before a Bronx Criminal Court judge to face charges of second degree murder, first degree manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon in the Nov. 10 killing of Kadeem Grant. A hearing is set for Dec. 3. Police and prosecutors did not immediately respond to a USA TODAY request for details and comment on the case. Photos from his court appearance show Saxon wearing a heavy bandage on his right hand, and prosecutors have said Saxon was bleeding from a gash when officers responding to a 911 call arrived at the scene. The New York Daily News reports that Grant was stabbed in the neck and chest as he dozed on a couch in the apartment of a third man. Police did not release a motive for the alleged attack, but the Daily News said detectives believe at least two of the men were involved in a sexual relationship and that a possible love triangle may have prompted the crime. Police also believe Saxon may have "just snapped" with no motive, the Daily News reported. The charges, if true, represent a long fall for Saxon, whose modeling career credits included red carpet walks at premieres of “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “The Batman,” the New York Post reported. Grant’s father, Christopher, traveled to New York from his home in Florida to deal with the tragedy. He told the Daily News his son had a 3-year-old daughter. “He was just a loving kid who was there for his family and his daughter,” Grant said. “It’s just sad that she has to grow up without a father.”

  5. Christina Haack is speaking candidly about filming her soon-to-be-released series The Flip Off with ex Josh Hall. The HGTV star, 41, told Entertainment Tonight that it had been tough filming her new show — which she stars in with ex Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa — alongside Hall, whom she split from earlier this year. “When someone is insecure by you and doesn’t like to watch you win, that really puts a damper on everything,” Haack told the outlet. “I feel like I was not shining as bright, to try to not make him feel emasculated. But who wants to live like that?” “It was not fun, to be honest,” she added. “I did not enjoy filming with him, so having split up made this, to be honest, so much easier and so much better in every way.” Haack also told ET that if Hall had not left the series early amid their split, it “would have been hard to film." She also claimed that Hall had some “jealousy” over her ex-husband Tarek 43, with whom she shares kids Taylor, 13, and Brayden, 8. “[Hall] doesn’t like our dynamic, because Tarek and I have our own dynamic, and some could call it ‘flirty,’ ” the reality star explained. “… For me, it’s like a sibling type of thing.” Haack also told ET that her breakup from Hall “wasn’t news” to Tarek, as she had been “telling him that things were bad for at least a year,” or “probably 18 months.”
  6. The Woodhaven police officer whose heroic efforts inspired a classic film: Our Neighborhood, The Way It Was By the Woodhaven Cultural and Historical Society On a crisp evening in New York City, Officer Charles Glasco from Woodhaven, Queens was wrapping up a long shift writing traffic tickets. Little did he know, his evening would soon take a turn into an extraordinary and heartbreaking chapter of his career—one that would make headlines around the world and become the subject of both a famous magazine article and a Hollywood film. It all began on the evening of Sept. 17, 1941, when Glasco’s patrol brought him to the scene of a life-and-death crisis. At Fifth Avenue and 55th Street, he found a chaotic scene unfolding in front of the Hotel Gotham. Hook-and-ladder trucks, ambulances and a large crowd had gathered beneath the building. On a narrow ledge 17 stories above the street, a young man stood in apparent distress, teetering on the brink of tragedy. A woman stood by the window, seemingly trying to coax him inside. The sergeant on the scene informed Glasco that the woman was the man’s sister, and that her brother, 26-year-old John William Warde, had threatened to jump if he saw any police officers. Officer Glasco, known for his friendly demeanor and natural gift for connecting with people, suggested posing as a civilian in an effort to speak to the young man and convince him to come inside. His hope was that his non-authoritative, friendly presence might make Warde more inclined to listen. Minutes later, Glasco borrowed a jacket from a bellboy in the hotel lobby and entered Room 1714, where Warde was perched on the ledge. The scene inside was tense, but Glasco’s calm demeanor and engaging personality soon began to make a difference. He started a casual conversation with Warde, making him feel at ease and slowly drawing him into a dialogue. “I’ve been out of work for as long as I can remember,” Glasco told the young man. “This is my first day on the job.” With that simple line, Glasco humanized himself, establishing common ground with Warde, who was reportedly moody and eccentric. As their conversation deepened, the two men discussed everything from baseball to the merits of day picnics versus night picnics, even touching on their mutual interest in physical fitness. The goal was to keep Warde talking and distracted, to prevent him from making any rash decisions. Glasco went to great lengths to build rapport. He brought Warde glasses of water, offered him cigarettes and continued to engage him in light conversation. All the while, Glasco maintained a careful distance, aware that any sudden move could cause Warde to panic and leap from the ledge. Hours passed, with no progress toward a resolution. The street was buzzing with tension, and the city’s hopes were pinned on Officer Glasco’s ability to talk the young man back to safety. But as the evening wore on, Warde remained just out of reach. By 10:30 p.m., 11 hours into the standoff, the situation reached its tragic end. Despite Officer Glasco’s valiant efforts to persuade him to come inside, Warde stepped off the ledge and fell to his death. It was a devastating conclusion to a heartbreaking drama. The young man, plagued by emotional turmoil and a troubled past, had chosen to end his life in full view of the bustling city below. The incident made headlines across the globe, drawing widespread sympathy for both Warde and the police officers who had tried in vain to save him. In the years that followed, this story became a subject of media fascination. Ten years later, the New Yorker published a detailed article about the incident, titled “The Man on the Ledge,” and two years after that, the story was adapted for the big screen. The 1951 film “Fourteen Hours,” produced by Twentieth Century Fox, dramatized the events of that fateful day. In the film, Officer Charles Dunnigan (played by Paul Douglas) takes on a role similar to Glasco’s, while Richard Basehart portrayed the troubled young man, Robert Cosick. Barbara Bel Geddes and Agnes Moorehead also starred, adding to the film’s emotional depth. Interestingly, Fourteen Hours marked the film debut of Grace Kelly, who would go on to become a Hollywood legend and later the Princess of Monaco. The film, though based on real events, took some artistic liberties in its depiction of the crisis, but it captured the essence of the real-life drama. For those who watched it, the film served as a reminder of the fragility of life and the deep, sometimes unspoken pain that many individuals face. As for Officer Glasco, his efforts were widely praised. He was promoted to sergeant for his bravery and calm under pressure, but he rarely spoke about the incident to his family. He continued to live in his childhood neighborhood of Woodhaven, Queens, and passed away on Feb. 3, 1976, at the age of 57.
  7. Sometimes the best technology is NO technology... It would probably pretty alarming to learn that, in the early 1980s, scientists decided to drop off a bunch of gophers at the site of a volcanic eruption. But don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it sounds. In fact, according to a new report from the University of California, this particular gopher-volcano encounter proved to be such a net positive that its effects are still being felt 40 years later. It starts with the eruption of Mount St. Helens in May of 1980. It was the most destructive volcanic event in American history, claiming 57 lives and causing staggering ecological damage. Faced with a devastation that would take the local environment a substantial amount of time to recover from, scientists were open to unorthodox ideas that might speed the process along. So they did what any reasonable person would decide to do and tossed a couple of gophers at the issue. Seriously. Specifically, as laid out in the University of California’s report, the thinking was “by digging up beneficial bacteria and fungi, gophers might be able to help regenerate lost plant and animal life on the mountain.” So, just two years after the devastating eruption, that’s exactly what scientists did. They gathered up some gophers, brought them to the eruption site, and let them do their gopher thing. “They’re often considered pests,” notes UC Riverside microbiologist Michael Allen, “but we thought they would take old soil, move it to the surface, and that would be where recovery would occur.” Before the gopher drop-off, only about a dozen plants were reported to have emerged from the pumice slabs that Mount St. Helens eruption had turned the land into. But six years after the gophers were placed on two specific plots of pumice for a single day “there were 40,000 plants thriving.” Meanwhile, the area around those plots, which had not been gopher-ed, was still barren. To see these changes six years on was impressive, but nobody could have imagined that the benefits of this single day of gopher intervention could still be seen decades later. But that’s precisely what an article published in the journal Frontiers earlier this month indicates. 40 years on, the article noted, the microbial community fostered within those plots, specifically mycorrhizal fungi, are still allowing plant life to thrive in the area. “These trees have their own mycorrhizal fungi that picked up nutrients from the dropped needles and helped fuel rapid tree regrowth,” the paper’s co-author Emma Aronson said of the fungi’s importance, “The trees came back almost immediately in some places. It didn’t all die like everyone thought.” Naturally, one takeaway from this paper is, as University of Connecticut mycologist Mia Maltz summarizes, that “we cannot ignore the interdependence of all things in nature, especially the things we cannot see like microbes and fungi.” But another takeaway is that, when in doubt, and the situation seems grim, just toss a couple of gophers at the problem and see if that does anything. It might just work!
  8. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been taking care of my father-in-law for four years — getting his groceries, going to the bank, picking up prescriptions and doing different tasks. He’s disabled and lives in an upstairs apartment with no access to getting downstairs. He can’t walk, bathe himself or get in and out of bed by himself. He has hired a nurse to get him in and out of bed every day. Because we live 30 minutes away and we both work, there is no way we can manage this. My father passed away recently, so I’ve also been helping my mom. All of this has put a strain on our marriage — I’m going one way, and my husband is going the other, plus my father-in-law has complained that I’m not coming over. I have tried explaining to him that I can’t be in two places at once. Our 25th wedding anniversary is coming up, and we have told both of our parents we won’t be coming over that weekend and will be cutting back to every other weekend so we can spend time together. To our dismay, we got pushback, with comments like, “Well, you see each other every night.” We tried to explain that by the time we get home, eat and do the dishes, there isn’t much together time, and definitely not enough for a day at the park or something. Do you have advice on how to handle this? We want to continue to help but we need our time too, so we thought we had suggested a good compromise. — BURNED OUT IN WISCONSIN DEAR BURNED OUT: Is there anyone else who could be helpful to your father-in-law, who now seems isolated from everyone but you and his son? Are there any relatives or friends of his and his late wife who could visit him? If the answer is no, someone from your religious community or your local area agency on aging might be able to help. You and your husband appear to be loving and generous people, but you must put the health of your marriage higher on your list of priorities and not permit yourselves to be guilted out of it. YOU MAY NOT LIKE HEARING THE TRUTH, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE… DEAR ABBY: A close friend, who I also work with, agreed to attend a paleontology exhibit with me approximately six months before the exhibit was scheduled to open. We were both excited about it and talked frequently about how much fun it would be to attend together. About a week after it opened, I was unexpectedly out of the office for a medical emergency, and my friend attended the exhibit without me. Am I wrong for feeling upset? She keeps telling me to get over it and is not being understanding at all. Am I overreacting? — BOTHERED IN THE EAST DEAR BOTHERED: If the exhibit was finished before you were able to go, you shouldn’t blame your friend for seeing it. If, however, the exhibit was still on, I can’t blame you for being upset that she went without you. The question now is, is this worth ending a friendship over? (I hope not.) YOU MAY NOT LIKE HEARING THE TRUTH, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE… DEAR ABBY: My daughter, “Virginia”, age 27, lives with her boyfriend, “Ray,” on the East Coast and teaches kindergarten. Last month, she confided that she had caught him cheating. She saw texts on his phone. When she confronted him, Ray immediately confessed and was very apologetic, but he also kept the woman’s number in his phone. Ray will soon be moving to another state, and her job will end in about three weeks. Virginia is seriously considering going with him and has also mentioned marriage. Her mother and I are divorced due to her mother’s infidelity, but we agree that we will counsel her not to stay with him. Although he took responsibility, cheating is destructive in any serious relationship. I have gone back and forth with Virginia via email, but sometimes she stops communicating. I haven’t been harsh, but I did ask her why Ray would keep the other woman’s number unless he wanted to remain in contact with her. Can you think of anything else a worried dad can do to help the situation? Obviously, Virginia can ignore parental advice and do what she wants. I am also wondering what I can say to Ray when I see him next. I neither want to give him a pass nor condemn him as a monster. — STRONG DAD IN CALIFORNIA DEAR DAD: Talk with your daughter, face-to-face if possible. Tell her that, as an adult, she can do what she wants, but as a caring parent, you cannot stay silent. Remind her that Ray kept the other woman’s number, which means he intends at some point to contact her. Explain that, to you, this means he is less committed to your daughter than he should be. As to what you might say to Virginia’s boyfriend, tell him you are disgusted by his selfishness and dishonesty, and he doesn’t deserve your daughter. If you have any more thoughts on the subject you would like to share, feel free to air them. YOU HAVE A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY AND I IMPLORE YOU NOT TO SQUANDER IT… YOU HAVE ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME TO KILL RAY BEFORE YOUR IDIOT DAUGHTER UPROOTS HER LIFE TO FOLLOW HIM. IF YOU WANT TO PROVE THAT YOU’RE A GOOD DAD AND THAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF PROTECTING YOUR KID’S FUTURE, YOU WON’T DELAY. DEAR ABBY: What would you say about a man who offered his wife’s siblings an all-expense-paid trip to Paris, knowing that his wife could not consider going on such a trip because of mobility issues? Full disclosure: The husband and wife have been to Paris in the past (when the wife’s health was OK), but the husband feels the need to go again and has no one else to accompany him. His wife will be left home alone to fend for herself. Somehow, this whole deal leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Please set me straight. — HOMEBODY IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR HOMEBODY: People with physical disabilities travel internationally all the time. If the husband has the money to take his wife’s siblings on an all-expense paid trip to Paris, surely he could afford to take his wife and a caregiver with him on that trip down memory lane. That way, she would be looked after and still be able to enjoy the trip to the degree that she’s able. THE WIFE CAN AFFORD A HITMAN TO KILL HIM. Has no one suggested it besides me?
  9. A New Jersey man was spotted doing his neigh-borhood shopping with the help of a real life little pony pal this week. The unidentified shopper – filmed with his own little Mr. Ed in Woodbridge’s Wegmans supermarket – isn’t looking to stirrup trouble. He said he has a mobility issue and needs to lean against the miniature horse — a registered service animal — when he is out shopping, according to NJ Patch. The man said he often brings the equine into Woodbridge stores, including the ShopRite and Lowe’s, said the outlet, who first reported the story. “I really don’t like the attention I am receiving, and I am trying to get (a video circulating on social media) down,” the shopper, who asked for anonymity, told Patch on Friday. “People have been commenting they are going to steal the horse. I am going to have to take legal action.” A 15-second TikTok clip with 624,000 views and 29,000 likes shows the slow-moving shopper pushing a cart through the produce section in Wegmans with his better hoof in tow. Quipped commenter AnaisJosette: “I love this! Only two animals recognized to the ADA is a dog or miniature horse and I never thought I’d see it ” “Why am I never at wegmans when the cool things happen!” lamented dwrght1981. Woodbridge police — who confirmed to Patch that the four-legged friend is allowed to remain in the store because it is a service animal — did not return The Post’s messages Friday. “It is a miniature horse and by Americans with Disabilities Act regulations, they can be service animals,” Woodbridge Police Director Robert Hubner told the outlet. A Wegmans employee brayed to The Post that the horse was in the store and is indeed a service animal, but any other questions “have to go through corporate.”

  15. DEAR ABBY: I am elderly and stuck in a miserable marriage. The romance is long gone. We live as roommates. If I were to die tomorrow, I don’t think anyone would miss me. I’m partially disabled, and it is difficult for me to get out on my own. Must I accept life as it is, or should I kick his butt out? — HOPELESS IN TEXAS DEAR HOPELESS: If you are financially dependent upon your husband or need his help for personal needs, I do not recommend “kicking his butt out.” Contact your nearest senior center and ask what activities are offered in your community, including transportation for seniors or people with disabilities. If you do, you may be pleasantly surprised to discover you are not as isolated as you think. HOW IS YOUR EYESIGHT? CAN YOU SHOOT A GUN? DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married 30 years. Over the last couple of years, a male friend of ours (also married) has taken an interest in my wife. He obviously finds her attractive, as most men do, but I’m trying to figure out what his intentions are. He comments to me about her and her body, so if he’s trying to hide his crush on her, he’s not doing a very good job. I know my wife finds him attractive too, although when I mention his name, she shrugs it off and says they’re just friends. He has a lovely wife and appears to be a devoted husband and father to his grown children. I know my wife loves me, but his frequent comments are causing me concern. I don’t always show my wife the attention she deserves, so should I step up my game to avoid someone else doing it? Should I be worried that this man’s intentions are more than “just friendly” and speak up? — SUSPICIOUS IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR SUSPICIOUS: You have the right to tell this friend his comments about your wife’s body are inappropriate and you want them stopped. You also have the right to become a more attentive husband. I’m sure your wife would appreciate it. I do not think it is necessary to ask this man if his “intentions are more than just friendly.” You weren’t born yesterday, and you already know the answer is yes. HOW IS YOUR EYESIGHT? CAN YOU SHOOT A GUN? DEAR ABBY: I got out of rehab two months ago. While I was there, I met someone. “Annie” lives in Florida, and I live in California. We both are doing great, and I believe we make each other stronger. Do you think a long-distance relationship can work? I hear it’s not possible. She has recently divorced, and so have I. Annie has two children, 15 and 16, and for this reason, she can’t leave Florida. I have two kids as well, 11 and 16, and can’t leave my state for the same reason. But our kids will go to college in a few years, and I really care for her. I know how hard it is to find someone. Over the last three years, I’ve dated 20 women. SLUT! None of them is anyone I would like to be in a relationship with. AND I’M SURE THE FEELING’S MUTUAL, BUDDY! Annie is perfect for me. I said we should take it one day at a time. She has flown out here twice to see me, and I’m going to fly to see her next. I know this relationship has its challenges. People tell me that anything is possible and that I should see where it takes us. — HOPEFUL IN THE DESERT DEAR HOPEFUL: In three years, Annie’s younger child will be 18. Will her children be off to college? It will be seven years before your younger child is considered an adult. Would Annie be able to move to California when she’s no longer bound by a custody agreement? I happen to agree with the folks who tell you that anything is possible. It is the truth — as long as you and Annie are prepared for a long-distance relationship in the coming years. You both have your sobriety that needs to be maintained, children who need support and relationships with exes that may or may not be problematic. For the foreseeable future, you and Annie should agree to keep your options open and not rule out dating others. If you are meant to be together, it will happen. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND FIND SOMEONE LOCAL.
  16. Red Lobster debuted new food offerings and brought back two popular items this week after the seafood restaurant chain overhauled its menu. “We’re thrilled to give our guests more reasons to celebrate this season with the launch of our new menu,” Chief Marketing Officer Nichole Robillard said in a statement. “From mouthwatering new dishes and the return of beloved fan favorites to holiday-inspired sips and unlimited Cheddar Bay Biscuits, there’s something for everyone.” Dishes like lobster pappardelle pasta, bacon-wrapped sea scallops, lobster bisque, lemon basil mahi, simply prepared mahi, parmesan-crusted chicken and roasted asparagus debuted on the new menu. There is a new Create your Own Ultimate Feast combo at Red Lobster where customers can “mix and match two premium picks … with two classics” too, the chain said. Meanwhile, hush puppies and popcorn shrimp are making a reappearance. CEO Damola Adamolekun told “Today” there was “a social media riot over us taking off the hush puppies a few years ago.” Red Lobster said each of the seafood chain’s 545 restaurants across the U.S. started using the new menu Monday.

  18. An emperor penguin that appeared on an Australian beach journeyed over 2,000 miles from its native Antarctica in what could be the first appearance of the species on the continent. The penguin appeared Nov. 1 on Ocean Beach in Denmark, a town in western Australia, and was spotted by a beachgoer, according to a statement provided to USA TODAY by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. Belinda Cannell, a research fellow at the University of Western Australia, told the Australian Broadcast Corporation the sighting could be a first for the continent. "The tracked ones have never reached this far," she told the outlet. Cannell told the broadcaster that it is possible that the penguin may have been following a current for food that brought it further north. The bird was brought to safety by local seabird rehabilitator Carol Biddulph, who said in an interview distributed by the department that the bird appeared malnourished and she could see the bird's back bone when she arrived on the beach. "Between the condition of the bird and the activity that might have happened on the beach the following day, I thought it was best to bring the bird in," Biddulph said. Biddulph, registered caregiver with the department, has a designated penguin enclosure though she said she normally cares for smaller local penguins. "Never in my wildest thoughts would I thought I'd ever have an emperor Penguin to care for," Biddulph said. "It's just such a such a privilege to be part of this bird's journey." The department said in its statement that efforts remain focused on rehabilitating the penguin. Aaron Fowler told the Australian Broadcast Corporation that he saw the penguin when he went to Ocean Beach to surf on Friday afternoon. "It was massive, it was way bigger than a sea bird and we're like, 'What is that thing coming out of the water?'" Fowler said. "It stood up in the waves and just waddled straight up to us, an emperor penguin, he was probably about a meter high, and he was not shy at all."

  20. The development that includes the building mentioned in the original post of this thread had three new buildings built on its footprint that were begun during the pandemic and appeared finished for quite a while now but apparently weren't, because they just had the official ribbon cutting ceremony. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was recently held to mark the official opening of Apex Place, a new three-tower affordable residential development at 62-11 108th St. in Forest Hills. Apex Place has 441 total affordable housing units and yields 20,000 square feet of community space, including medical offices and a new community center for Queens Community House, a multi-site, multi-service house that helps Queens residents of all ages and backgrounds by providing them with the tools needed to enrich their lives, thus building healthy and inclusive communities. Among the amenities available for Apex Place residents are rooftop decks, fitness rooms, children’s play areas, on-site storage lockers, a laundry facility, a bicycle room, and a naturally ventilated parking structure screened by greenery. The development is also located close to the 63rd Drive-Rego Park subway station, which services the M, R, E, and F trains.
  21. EXTREME MOTOR SPORTS, AUSSIE STYLE: A motorcyclist found himself on top of a car in a brutal collision caught on a dashcam. The terrifying moment occurred when the rider sped through traffic and collided with an SUV that tried to abruptly switch lanes. Within a split second, the motorcyclist went from the back of his bike to sitting on top of the black Holden he collided with. The traffic slowed down, with the driver of the car stopping and exiting his vehicle as another motorcyclist stopped to assist. The driver appeared to yell and gesture at the motorcyclist, who was hunched up on the side of the freeway. DashCamOwners Australia uploaded the clip to its popular social media channels and racked up nearly 100,000 views in six hours. https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/newspress-collage-0bic4a6ek-1731439350240.mp4?1731421536 https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/motoring/incredible-moment-motorcyclist-flips-on-top-of-car-after-crashing-into-it/video/828b3bd5059635d79f9a79a48ac4f501
  22. Mare of Easttown‘s creator is returning to HBO… but he’s not bringing Kate Winslet with him this time. Brad Ingelsby, who wrote and created the Emmy-winning Mare, is back with a new Pennsylvania-set crime drama, Task, airing next year on HBO and starring Mark Ruffalo as a veteran FBI agent leading a task force that investigates a heist gone wrong. But since Mare was so popular and acclaimed, why didn’t he just make a Season 2? “We talked about” doing a second season of Mare, Ingelsby told reporters at an HBO event on Tuesday, but “Mare’s journey in that show was so emotional… I always like to tell stories that are really emotional, and it’s hard to come up with an emotional story that could compete with losing a son and having to confront that.” But then he came up with the idea for Task, “and it felt like it lives in the same world as Mare. It’s in the same part of that world, but it’s a much different story. And I was kind of, at that time, more interested in doing something different and new that can also speak to the same type of world that Marelived in.” (He added that Task’s story was never considered as a potential Season 2 of Mare.) Ingelsby isn’t completely shutting the door on more Mare down the road, though. He’s “always open to revisiting Mare” down the line “if we could craft a story as compelling as the first one.” Mare was billed as a limited series when it debuted in 2021, but it was a big hit and scored four Emmy wins, which naturally led to speculation about a possible Season 2. “If we can crack a story that is as great [as Season 1] and that would do justice to the characters and carry on the story in a way that was organic and yet surprising, I would love to do it,” Ingelsby told TVLine at the time. “I just don’t know what the story is. That’s the issue right now.” Along with Ruffalo, Task’s cast includes Tom Pelphrey (Ozark), Raúl Castillo (Looking), Emilia Jones (Locke & Key), Alison Oliver (Conversations With Friends), Fabien Frankel (House of the Dragon), Thuso Mbedu (The Underground Railroad) and Martha Plimpton (Raising Hope).
