Zac Efron Says ‘A Family Affair’s Original NSFW Title Put The Script “At The Top Of The Pile”

An EncroChat drug trafficker known as 'Piggy Wilson' enjoyed a luxury lifestyle with jet skis, expensive watches and a Range Rover - all funded through his life of crime.

Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who plays Cousin Ritchie on the show, perfectly described the series in our season one interview as “high-sodium volatility”; no one was coked up on drugs per se (though sometimes they were), but the surging blood pressure anxieties of their environment and lives made for a brilliantly toxic and gripping show about generational trauma, grinding through life and surviving grief.

A The Young and The Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful crossover is coming up!

The network has made its name (and a lot of its money) on its annual holiday fare that guarantees light-hearted, family-friendly fun, whether you are watching ironically or not. The patented formula of its Christmas movies is a comfort for the droves that watch every year, but Hallmark frequently gets overlooked when it puts down the tinsel and Santa cookie cutters.
