Coronation Street's Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) is in for a shock as fan favourite troublemaker Damon Hay (Ciaran Griffiths) gets ready to return to the cobbles with a vengeful plan. Earlier this year, soap lovers saw Adam's marriage to Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) break down after she had an affair with Damon.

Viewers of the ITV soap were first introduced to the character back in December 2022 as he made his way onto the cobbles to find his son, Jacob Hay, just when his life was on the up and he had dropped his criminal past.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic What is Joaquin Phoenix so unhappy about? And so twitchy? We’ve all seen someone triumph at the Oscars and use their acceptance speech to push a social cause (in fact, it’s almost required). But I’ve never seen a speech quite like the one Phoenix gave in 2020 when he took the best actor award for “Joker.” The film had gotten mixed reviews from critics (what were they so unhappy about?), so the win carried an element of vindication.

Leo Barraclough International Features Editor Rise and Shine World Sales has acquired In-Soo Radstake’s “Selling a Colonial War,” which world premieres in the International Competition section of documentary festival IDFA in Amsterdam. “Selling a Colonial War” looks to encourage the Dutch government and society to accept responsibility for their actions as a colonial power in Indonesia – and especially their actions when fighting a war in Indonesia after the country declared independence in 1945. The Dutch government still refrains from using the term “war crimes” to describe their actions as this would have great impact on calls for reparation.
Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from “Poirot,” Episode 6 of “Lessons in Chemistry,” now streaming on Apple TV+. For 30 minutes last year, Millicent Shelton was given control of a freeway off-ramp not far from LAX –– and she didn’t even need the whole half hour. Shelton was behind the camera directing the sixth episode of Apple TV’s “Lessons in Chemistry,” and in front of her was a very small window for her to get a wide shot that could establish the scope of a sit-in that really happened in 1950s Los Angeles. The shot follows period-specific cars as they descend the off-ramp, only to be blocked by protesters.
