Grey’s Anatomy‘s Jo and Link found themselves at odds over the concept of “organized religion” before the possible arrival of their twins — while someone else in the hospital suffered a surprising personal loss.

During the Thursday, November 6, episode of the hit ABC series, Jo (Camilla Luddington) and Link (Chris Carmack) found out they had different views on religion before the arrival of their twins. Jo wanted to make plans to baptize their children while Link was strongly against it. They took turns fighting about it — in between pregnant Jo delivering a patient’s baby — before agreeing to table the conversation.

The couple were on their way home when Jo realized her water broke. Elsewhere at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Simone (Alexis Floyd) was treating a patient who turned out to be her late mother’s best friend. They formed a connection while Simone learned more about her mom while admitting she still blamed herself for her death.

Simone tried to keep Regina stable but the patient ultimately died. She got some support from ex Lucas (Niko Terho) before going home. There was also Kwan (Harry Shum Jr.), who enlisted Jules (Adelaide Kane) on a home visit that turned into a patient’s toe falling off. They weren’t able to stabilize the situation so Bailey (Chandra Wilson) showed up to help.

Every Star Who’s Left ‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Where Are They Now?

Thursday’s episode also featured some absences from Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Owen (Kevin McKidd), Amelia (Caterina Scorsone), Teddy (Kim Raver) and more. This came after Deadline reported that Grey’s Anatomy is reducing the minimum guarantees for its veteran cast members to 14 out of the show’s 18 episodes per season.

While some fan favorites won’t be missing for more than four episodes this season, Scorsone’s absence was doubled after her character, Amelia, chose to take a sabbatical. Deadline subsequently reported that Scorsone’s break will last until 2026.

Showrunner Meg Marinis previously hinted that not every character would be safe this season after a hospital explosion.

“Well, I feel like a lot of people are probably sitting in operating rooms,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in May. “So unless you saw them and where they were when that explosion went off, I don’t think we can say anyone is necessarily safe.”

Marinis noted that she spoke with the cast about what to expect, adding, “I’ve had conversations with some of them, but they all know it’s a Grey’s Anatomy cliffhanger and they know every year they never know what to expect. They’re here for it. They like to keep our stories exciting and fresh.”

Which ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Stars Are — And Aren’t — Returning for Season 22?

At the time, no decisions were yet made on who would return — and who wouldn’t.

“But even in the last two seasons with what you saw this year, we had to reduce the cast a little bit [because of industry-wide budget cuts], and everybody has very passionate feelings about their favorite characters,” Marinis shared. “But if we can get the writers upset then we know we’re doing it right. It’s not as satisfying a story if people aren’t upset when someone leaves. It’s supposed to make people upset and sad, so I’m sure there’ll be some arguments. But I’ve been persuaded before to change my mind on things.”

She continued: “I definitely have thoughts. Whether or not those thoughts change, that can always happen. I haven’t put pen to paper yet, but it’ll be very soon that I do.”

Grey’s Anatomy airs on ABC Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Hulu.

The Golden Bachelor alum Gerry Turner has found a buyer for his Indiana home less than four months after putting it on the market.

According to a Realtor.com article published on Wednesday, November 5, the reality TV star’s lake house is under a contingent offer, which means Gerry, 74, “has accepted an offer; however, certain conditions must be met before that deal can close.”

Gerry’s four-bedroom, 2,624-square-foot property was originally listed at $739,900, the outlet reported. Several weeks later, the listed price was decreased to $719,900.

The house was the same one that was at the center of Gerry’s failed relationship journey with Theresa Nist, 72. The former couple met on season 1 of The Golden Bachelor in 2023.

Gerry and Theresa tied the knot in a TV special in January 2024 before calling it quits just three months later.

Gerry had originally planned to move out of the Indiana home as the then-couple planned to move to Charleston, South Carolina with Theresa. (Theresa was living in New Jersey at the time.)

Theresa told People in December 2024 that she also planned to offload her property so they could start a new life together in Charleston.

“That was the plan,” she told the outlet at the time. “I was selling my home. He was selling his home.”

During the interview, Theresa claimed that Gerry had told her he was “sick” of his home in Indiana and was on the hunt for something new before he was diagnosed with cancer and had second thoughts.

“[But] Gerry, after he got back home, he kind of changed his mind,” she said. “He said, ‘No, let’s do it six weeks here and six weeks there.’ And I didn’t want to do that. I really wanted a home together. I wanted the joy of being in a home together and designing a home together. I really thought that was going to be phenomenal. I was looking forward to that so much.”

According to Theresa, she and Gerry only inspected houses in Charlston online and never stepped foot inside any in real life.

“We never got there, and it never happened,” Theresa said. “So that would’ve been a thing to do differently, to actually go to South Carolina and go see things and see them in person instead of just looking at them online because that wasn’t enough.”

“I think it just petered out that we were looking at homes back and forth and we could never agree on one. And then the emails just stopped, [and] we weren’t looking anymore.”

Golden Bachelor Gerry and Ex Theresa Sign Divorce Settlement Agreement

Amid his cancer battle and following his relationship drama, Gerry released his memoir, Golden Years: What I’ve Learned from Love, Loss, and Reality TV, which dropped on Tuesday, November 4.

In the book, Gerry shared candid details about his relationship with Theresa and revealed how it all fell apart.

“I was filled with all these stories about what happened that never got to be seen, and feelings I had about some of the people on the show that I kept to myself,” he exclusively told Us Weekly last month.

He added, “I decided, ‘Hey, it’s time to try and tell the whole story, and not just the portions that are good to the general public.’ But as I got into the process, I realized I also wanted to fall back to the goals we had on the show — to keep yourself open to opportunities, enjoy life, don’t walk by anything that may be good for you just because you’ve gotten older.”

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Southern Africa is celebrating a landmark moment as Malawi’s Temwa Chawinga and Zambia’s Barbra Banda have both been nominated for the FIFA Best Attacker Award solidifying their positions among the world’s elite forwards.

Temwa’s nomination carries even greater weight.

She has become the only African woman nominated for the FIFA Best Women’s Player of the Year, a rare and remarkable achievement that cements her status as one of the most influential players on the global stage.

Her dominance in the USA Women’s Super League, where she finished as top scorer and delivered match-winning performances, has earned her respect from coaches, analysts and fans worldwide.

Barbra Banda’s nomination reflects her unstoppable rise in world football.

Her power, athleticism, leadership and consistent ability to deliver in big moments for both club and country have made her one of the most feared attackers in the women’s game.

From Olympic heroics to club brilliance, Banda has continued to put Zambia on the global football map.

The dual nominations of Temwa and Banda represent a significant victory for African women’s football. For years, African female players have had limited representation at the highest level of FIFA awards.

This moment signals a shift one where the world can no longer overlook African excellence.

As the spotlight shines on women’s football, global football giants are also making headlines on the men’s side.

In stunning fashion, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have both been nominated for the 2025 FIFA The Best Men’s World XI.

Even in the twilight of their legendary careers, the two icons widely regarded as the GOATs of modern football continue to command respect with their unmatched class and longevity.

The inclusion of Ronaldo and Messi once again in a world XI shortlist underscores their enduring influence in the game.

Despite rising stars across Europe and beyond, the two superstars remain at the top of world football conversations.

Their presence in this year’s nominations adds an extra layer of excitement to the awards season, combining the emergence of new African stars with the sustained brilliance of football’s greatest legends.

LILONGWE–(MaraviPost)-The governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has announced that it will no longer welcome so-called “political tourists, prostitutes”politicians who frequently switch allegiance between parties to advance their personal interests.

The declaration was made on Friday in Parliament by Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Charles Mhango, who revealed that the DPP is reviewing its constitution to tighten membership regulations and prevent serial defectors from rejoining.

“We are taking steps to protect the integrity of our party,” Mhango said.

“Our constitution will soon be amended to ensure that those who see the DPP merely as a ladder for their ambitions are no longer entertained.”

People’s Party (PP) Member of Parliament for Nkhata Bay Chiteche, Noah Chipeni, commended the DPP’s decision, saying many Malawians have grown frustrated with politicians who constantly jump from one political group to another, especially toward ruling parties, in pursuit of personal gain.

“These political prostitutes are the same people who move from one party to another whenever it suits their ambitions,”

“They are not driven by principles or ideology, but by personal benefit.”Chipeni said.

Chipeni’s remarks reflect growing concern within Malawi’s political circles over a culture of opportunism, where several prominent politicians have switched allegiances immediately after elections.

Concurring with Mhango,People’s Party (PP) Member of Parliament for Nkhata Bay Chintheche, Noah Chipeni, welcomed the DPP’s decision, saying many people are tired of politicians who keep moving from one party to another, especially to the ruling party, just to benefit themselves.

He said most of these political tourists are only after personal gain and not because they truly believe in the party’s ideas.

The DPP’s announcement follows the recent return of veteran politician Brown Mpinganjira, often labeled a “political tourist.” Mpinganjira had defected to the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) after the 2020 elections, only to rejoin the DPP recently.

Political analysts have described the DPP’s move as a bold attempt to restore discipline and loyalty within its ranks. However, others caution that enforcing such restrictions may prove difficult in a political landscape where party-hopping has long been normalized.

As Malawi edges closer to another election cycle, the DPP’s stance signals a growing call among political parties to prioritize loyalty and ideological commitment over opportunistic alliances.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The long-awaited Lilongwe Bridge was officially commissioned today, marking a major step forward in the capital city’s infrastructure transformation.

The newly constructed bridge connects the M1 Road at the Murray Road junction to Lilongwe Main Mosque, creating a vital link that is expected to ease the city’s persistent traffic congestion and improve mobility for thousands of commuters.

The Minister of Transport and Public Works, Feston Kaupa, presided over the official opening ceremony attended by senior government officials, diplomats, and community members.

In his remarks, Kaupa hailed the project as “not just a structure of concrete and steel, but a living symbol of progress, resilience, and cooperation.”

He said the bridge will significantly improve road safety, reduce travel time, and support urban trade and economic activity within the fast-growing capital.

“The Government of Malawi remains committed to investing in modern infrastructure that meets international standards and promotes inclusive growth,” Kaupa added.

Japanese Ambassador Yoichi Oya also spoke at the ceremony, reaffirming Japan’s dedication to supporting Malawi’s development priorities.

“Japan is proud to partner with Malawi in building infrastructure that connects people, markets, and opportunities,” Oya said, noting that the bridge aligns with Japan’s long-term cooperation through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

Residents and motorists expressed excitement, saying the bridge will improve access to businesses, hospitals, and schools.

Local traders in the city described it as a “game changer” that will stimulate local commerce and ease movement across the city.

The project, fully funded by the Government of Japan through JICA, stands as a lasting testament to the enduring friendship between Malawi and Japan and a milestone in the modernization of Malawi’s transport network.

The post FAA Cuts Flights, SNAP Ruling, Trump Focused Abroad appeared first on The Maravi Post.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The High Court Judge Redson Kapindu on morning, November 7, 2025 dismissed Wildlife Crime Convict and Corruption suspect Yunhua Lin’s unlawful detention and bail applications.

Judge Kapindu cited the suspect being flight risk and the serious offences he committed might compromise the court proceedings.

The Judge therefore ordered continual detection of Lin at Dedza Prison.

Kapindu therefore adjourned the case for fresh corruption hearings on Lin’s for January 12 to 13, 2026 at 10 am.

Reacting to the ruling, Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) legal team leader Peter Sambani
expressed satisfactory over the verdict agreeing with the court that the suspect is a flight risk who might jump the bail.

“ACB is very happy with the ruling. We are ready to commerce corruption charges against Lin in January, 2026”, assures Sambani.

Newly, appointed Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Festino Maele has been representing Lin in court.

During today’s ruling, Maele was seen around the court seeing off Lin but he was not present in the chamber when Judge Kapindu dismissed the applications.

Maele has been representing Lin in a corruption case in which the Chinese national is accused of attempting to bribe a High Court judge and prison officials to secure his release.

The case arose shortly after Lin’s controversial presidential pardon in July, this year which was followed by his re-arrest by ACB.

Katy Perry is turning to music after upheaval in her personal life.

The pop star, 41, dropped her powerful new song, “Bandaids,” and its self-deprecating music video on Thursday, November 6, marking her first release since her split from ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom.

In the video, a down-on-her-luck Perry finds herself in a series of near-death situations. It begins with the singer washing dishes (a nod to her viral “Call Her Daddy” comment last year about Bloom getting his “d*** sucked” whenever he did chores) when her ring suddenly falls down the drain. As Perry sticks her hand in the sink to retrieve the gold band, she accidentally turns on the garbage disposal, leaving her bloodied and screaming.

As the visual progresses, Perry’s misfortune only gets worse: Her shoelace gets caught in the escalator at a shopping mall, causing her to face-plant; the lid comes off her coffee cup while she’s driving, spilling all over her lap and burning her; and she sinks into quicksand after narrowly avoiding an oncoming train.

Katy Perry’s Craziest and Chicest Style Moments Through the Years

The video is filled with Easter eggs, from a daisy growing in the middle of the train tracks (Perry and Bloom’s 5-year-old daughter is named Daisy) to the Grammy nominee’s 2024 single “Woman’s World” playing before a gas station explosion in the final scene, signaling the end of her 143 era and the beginning of another.

“Bandaids” features candid lyrics about Perry’s “broken heart” that offer a glimpse into her mindset after her breakup. She sings in the first verse, “Hand to God, I promise I tried / There’s no stone left unturned / It’s not what you did / It’s what you didn’t / You were there, but you weren’t.”

Later, Perry references Daisy as one of the positive things that came out of the relationship, singing, “If I had to do it all over again / I would still do it all over again / The love that we made was worth it in the end.”

The release comes after several major changes in Perry’s personal life. Us Weekly confirmed her separation from Bloom, 48, in June after nearly 10 years together. A source revealed at the time that it was “a long time coming,” as things between the now-exes had “been tense for months.”

Nonetheless, Perry and Bloom remain cordial as they moved forward with their focus on their daughter.

“They are still very much in touch and coparenting Daisy together,” an insider told Us in June. “It’s not messy between them.”

The source noted that Perry and Bloom were “prioritizing stability and consistency for Daisy” as the family adapted to their new normal.

In the aftermath of the split, the Pirates of the Caribbean star emphasized his healthy coparenting dynamic with his ex.

“I’m so grateful. We have the most beautiful daughter,” he said on the Today show in September. “You know, when you leave everything on the field, like I did in [the movie The Cut], I feel grateful for all of it.”

He added, “We’re great. We’re going to be great. It’s nothing but love.”

After her breakup from Bloom, Perry moved on with former Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau, to whom she has been linked since July. At the time, the pair — who “have a few mutuals in the music industry” — were spotted on a “casual” dinner date in Canada after being “in touch for the last month,” according to a source.

Although Perry does not “have a lot of extra time” at the moment due to her ongoing Lifetimes Tour, the insider told Us, “This is all new to her, as she hasn’t dated in so many years, and it’s been exciting to put herself out there again. … Katy is excited to move on but isn’t looking for anything serious.”

In October, a source revealed that Perry and Trudeau, 53, are staying under the radar while pursuing their connection.

“Katy is really into it. She’s very happy,” the insider told Us. “She’s trying to keep it low-key, and they’ve spent a lot of private time together. She’s not looking to publicize this relationship.”
