Ron Hale, the actor celebrated for his roles in Ryan’s Hope and General Hospital, has passed away at the age of 78.

His family announced his death on August 27 through an obituary posted online by a local funeral home, though they did not disclose the cause of death.

According to Variety, Hale, a long-time resident of St. George, S.C., captivated audiences as Roger Coleridge on Ryan’s Hope, appearing in over 900 episodes of the show, which ran from 1975 to 1989.

His remarkable performance earned him Daytime Emmy nominations in both 1979 and 1980.

Hale was also known for his role as Mike Corbin on General Hospital, where he appeared from 1995 to 2010. He reprised this character on the spinoff series Port Charles from 1997 to 2000.

Born Ronald Hale Thigpen, Hale made his onscreen debut in 1968 with an episode of ABC’s N.Y.P.D. He later appeared on his first soap opera, CBS’s Search for Tomorrow, in 1969.

That same year, he graced Broadway in William Saroyan’s The Time of Your Life.

In addition to his soap opera successes, Hale’s extensive career includes appearances in notable productions such as All the President’s Men, Trial by Jury, and Matlock and MacGyver.

Hale is survived by his nieces, Lori and Erin, and nephews, Max and Marc.

Prince Harry is seemingly mirroring his old life again as he takes on his charity work with the same confidence which he held as a working royal.

The Duke of Sussex left his senior royal position back in 2020 with his wife Meghan Markle to carve out a more independent role.

While there have been speculations over Harry’s possible return to royal duties as cracks seem to appear in the years-long royal feud, a royal expert believes that The Duke’s return is not possible despite his successes.

“He wanted to be half in and half out of the Royal Family,” Royal expert Phil Dampier told The Sun.

Prince Harry attended the WellChild Awards in the UK and the next day, he headed to Lesotho to promote his charity Sentebale, earning praises for his work.

Dampier suggested that Harry wanted to “have his cake and eat it too” as he began reconnecting with some of pals in UK.

The expert shared that he wanted to keep his “attachments to the military, where he was attached to certain units and certain patronages and certain charities as a royal” while also be able to return to the US to commercialise things.

However, the late Queen Elizabeth made it “perfectly clear” that it was not possible. And despite Harry’s charismatic appearances, the royal won’t be able to woo his way back into the royal fold.

“He can’t start doing jobs that would see him sort of slowly coming back into the Royal Family,” Dampier explained. “You can’t have members of the Royal Family exploiting it for cash, basically.”

“I think we’re just going to see him occasionally come back for these one-off events with charities that he’s very deeply involved with, and that’s it.”

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner’s romance seems to be getting “children” official.

The Wonka star is said to have built a bond with Kylie Cosmetics founder’s two children—6-year-old daughter Stormi and 2-year-old son Aire—whom she shares with her ex, Travis Scott.

“He’s involved with her kids and appreciates that they will always be her priority,” an insider told People on Wednesday.

The insider went on to praise the celebrity pair, stating they are “a great couple” and that “everyone loves them together.”

“It’s very serious, but also a fun relationship,” the source shared.

Moreover, Chalamet, 28, and Jenner, 27, have “been able to figure out a good balance between working and spending quality time together”, prioritising work over life appropriately.

Jenner and Chalamet were first rumoured to be dating in April 2023, just three months after sources told People that she had ended her five-year relationship with Scott. 

The Dune actor and the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum kept their relationship low-profile by opting for quiet taco dates and spending time together at each other’s homes.

Jax Taylor has shocked everyone with new legal claims about his marriage to Brittany Cartwright.

In his response to his ex’s divorce filing, obtained by E! News on October 2, the Vanderpump Rules alum checked a box acknowledging his marriage to Brittany, with whom he shares a 3-year-old son, Cruz. 

However, he also marked a separate box stating, “Respondent contends that the parties never legally married or registered in a domestic partnership.”

In the “Statistical Facts” section of his filing, Jax noted in pen that the couple got married on June 29, 2019, and listed their separation date as September 26, 2024, the same day he submitted his response. 

However, there appeared to be an error when the document asked for the “time from date of marriage to date of separation.” Instead of the correct time frame of five years and two months, Jax mistakenly wrote down four years and six months.

Brittany had stated the same period in her divorce documents, entering Jan. 24, 2024 as the date of the split.

One interesting point in their divorce filings is that Brittany requested the court to terminate both her and Jax’s right to spousal support. On the other hand, Jax selected the option for “future determination” of spousal support to Brittany in his filing.
