Beloved '90s Actor Breaks Social Media Silence on Death of Co-Star in Heartbreaking Post
Beloved '90s Actor Breaks Social Media Silence on Death of Co-Star in Heartbreaking Post originally appeared on Parade. Ian Ziering has broken his social media silence on the death of his Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star, Shannen Doherty. On the one-year anniversary of Doherty's death, Ziering posted a heartfelt message on Instagram. "When I first heard she was sick, we had nearly a decade more with her. And even then, most of the updates sounded less like 'Shannen's fighting cancer' and more like 'cancer picked the wrong woman.' That was her way—strong, defiant, take-no-prisoners tough," Ziering began. "Every time I saw her during those years, she was still Shan—fierce, funny, full of life. That's why her passing hit me like a freight train. I was shocked. I truly believed she was going to pull off one more miracle." "When she died a year ago, I didn't post anything. And yes, some people criticized that. To them I say: grief isn't a performance. It's personal. Let people grieve how they grieve," he continued. "Over the past year, I've seen my old castmates a few times. It's been hard being together without her—and Luke. That kind of loss doesn't fade. It just rearranges the furniture in your heart." Ziering went on to say that he misses Doherty and that he thinks of her "often." "Your kind heart that so few really got to see. I still carry all of it with me. Rest easy, Shan," he concluded. Dozens of fans took to the comments section of the post to send Ziering love and to let him know that his tribute was "beautifully written." Doherty died on July 13, 2024, after a long journey with breast cancer. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Beloved '90s Actor Breaks Social Media Silence on Death of Co-Star in Heartbreaking Post first appeared on Parade on Jul 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

Robin Wright vs. Olivia Cooke: Prime Video's The Girlfriend Is a Psychological War You Can't Look Away From
Prime Video is cranking up the suspense this fall with its brand-new psychological thriller The Girlfriend, debuting September 10th in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Yesterday, the streaming platform revealed first-look photos and a creepy teaser trailer for the six-part limited series that will take viewers on a twisted game of perception, manipulation, and maternal distrust. Starring Robin Wright (House of Cards, Forrest Gump) and Olivia Cooke (House of the Dragon, Sound of Metal), The Girlfriend is based on the best-selling novel by Michelle Frances and will be available exclusively on Prime Video. A Picture-Perfect Life Fractures Under a Smile Front and center is the eponymous Laura, played by Wright, who appears to live a life without flaws: a brilliant career, a wealthy and adoring husband, and a good relationship with her indulgent sole child, Daniel, played by Christopher Laurie Davidson. A veneer of perfection fissures in Laura's life, however, when Daniel returns home from college with his new girlfriend, Cherry (Cooke), a gorgeous and apparently lovely woman, Laura cannot understand and cannot even trust herself with. What begins as quiet apprehension quickly becomes obsession as Laura more and more thinks Cherry to be something other than she claims to be. Is Cherry an evil gold digger? Or is Laura an artist misplacing her own terrors and losing touch with reality? Like in those classic psychological thrillers, the line between reality and fantasy will become blurred, each of the characters keeping secrets, harboring their own wounds, and even playing manipulative games with the others to stay alive or get revenge. 'Truth is in the eye of the beholder,' the trailer ominously suggests, hinting at each episode raising the stakes. Starring alongside Wright and Cooke is a star-studded ensemble cast including: Laurie Davidson (Will, Cats) as Daniel Waleed Zuaiter (Baghdad Central) as Howard Tayna Moodie (Sherwood) as Isabella Shalom Brune-Franklin (The Tourist) as Brigitte Karen Henthorn (Coronation Street) as Tracey Anna Chancellor (Four Weddings and a Funeral) as Lilith Leo Suter (Vikings: Valhalla) as Nicholas Francesca Corney (The Last Full Measure) as Millie This exceptional cast will deliver strong performances that will keep viewers captivated in a world of suspicion, manipulation, and dysfunctional family relationships. The Girlfriend is produced by Imaginarium Productions and Amazon MGM Studios, with a team of heavyweight creatives attached to the show. Executive producers are: Robin Wright Jonathan Cavendish Caroline Norris Will Tennant Phil Robertson John Zois Dave Clarke Gabbie Asher Michelle Frances, author of the source novel The series is available for TV adaptation by Naomi Sheldon and Gabbie Asher, and the episodes are written by a robust team of writers that includes Polly Cavendish, Helen Kingston, Marek Horn, Ava Wong Davies, Isis Davis, Smita Bhide, and Matt Evans. The teaser trailer, released this morning, is not one to get bogged down in establishing a climate of icy tension. It is packed full of silent domestic spaces invaded by guilt-stricken glances, mysterious interchanges between Laura and Cherry, and flashes of dangerous uncertainty, all backed by an atmospheric score. Robin Wright's commanding presence dominates the screen as a tightly wound mom, and Olivia Cooke radiates mystery as the girlfriend whose smile might just be concealing a blade. The trailer eliminates any uncertainty: The Girlfriend isn't just a jealousy-driven thriller. It's a study in identity, power, and the debilitating fear that you might not really know the person at dinner opposite you. As psychological thrillers continue to dominate prestige television with titles such as The Undoing, Sharp Objects, or The Night Manager, Prime Video has clearly found its next slow-burn success. With Robin Wright's return to leading a series and Olivia Cooke's rapidly increasing star power, The Girlfriend is already one of the most suspenseful, watercooler-worthy shows of the year. Seek out fan theories, Twitter buzz, and more than a few screaming-at-the-TV moments when The Girlfriend debuts all six episodes on September 10. Watch the teaser trailer now on Prime Video and hang in there for further sneak peeks as the premiere approaches.

The ‘Gen Z Stare' Is the New ‘Ok, Boomer' — Here's What You Need To Know
Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by the Gen Z stare. Actually, maybe don't raise your hand because it's kinda cringe to admit that you've been given the stare — as it's basically the same as getting called 'Ok, Boomer.' Let me back up. More from SheKnows JoJo Siwa's Vintage 'Bette Davis Eyes' Makeover Has People Asking If the 'Trad Wife' Pipeline Is Real A discourse on the 'Gen Z stare' is taking over TikTok, and we've broken down exactly what this body language means (and how parents can avoid receiving it from their teens!). Millennials had RBF (resting b—h face) and Gen Z has the 'stare,' which is basically a blank, awkward look that Gen Z gives to people who are being audacious, acting too much, or being downright ridiculous. According to Know Your Meme, the Gen Z stare is that uncomfortable blank look that teens will give out (it's the way Sydney Sweeney stared at anyone on the first season of The White Lotus). This expressionless stare is common in social situations or customer service situations, in which an older customer is being rude, obnoxious, or unruly. In one skit, a Gen Zer ordered a complicated coffee drink and complained when she couldn't get it. 'What y'all sound like before receiving the 'gen z stare,' they wrote, adding in the caption, 'the gen z stare comes out when there's nothing nice to say.' Another Gen Zer explained, 'the gen z stare is when ppl r being slow and u just stare at them bc of how dvmb they r.' Just look at the comments to see how older generations react to Gen Z coining this stare. Like one person, who wrote, 'I think it's hilarious that Gen Z thinks they're the first generation to ever deal with stupidity or difficult customers, and that's how they justify the fact that they just disassociate and mindlessly stare into space whenever they are confronted with a difficult for confusing situation, instead of immediately engaging in the situation like every other generation has ever done before them lol.' 'As a millennial I can tell you it's not this 😂 although this is super funny,' one person wrote. 'It's more the ones that literally don't know how to have a normal human interaction..' One person made a video showing Gen Zers doing the stare at their first jobs. 'We're talking about the stare when anyone tries to have just a normal human interaction with you, like in the flesh,' she said. 'And you guys freeze the f— up.' She said she's seen this when she tries to say hi to teen neighbors that walk by and 'they just look at you like they just saw a ghost and think, there's no way that interaction is real.' It can be frustrating if this happens to you, but there is a reason for it. Gen Z defended this deer-in-the-headlights look in the comments, writing, 'I think our generation is done with fake and genuinely hate people, we just wanna be left alone.' 'why do older people think they are owed my time and energy 😀 if I don't know U leave me alone 😭,' another person said. Someone else explained, 'I'm 29, and I get it. It's anxiety. The world is so demanding and degrading, they're avoiding shame, embarrassment, any awkward feelings, any feeling at all actually. It's scary, it never ends at hello, continued hellos become further conversations and familiarity. its hard to keep up the perception of 'normal' when you're perceived.' Honestly, we get it. With the COVID-19 pandemic, Donald Trump's presidency, the rise of misogyny and hate, the threat of war, and so much more happening in the country right now, it's no wonder Gen Z has social anxiety — and no time for small talk. It's a rebellion against creepy old men telling girls to 'smile' or entitled customers acting like they are always right. It's also a protective mechanism against stress and anxiety, and we can't blame Gen Z for that. Research has shown that teen anxiety doubled during the COVID lockdown, with 1 in 5 teens reporting elevated anxiety symptoms. In 2024, the National Survey of Children's Health found that 16.1 percent of teens ages 12-17 were diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in 2023, which is a 61 percent increase since 2016. 'During and since the pandemic, there has absolutely been an increase in anxiety among teens,' Samantha Quigneaux, LMFT, the national director of family therapy services at Newport Healthcare, previously told SheKnows. 'Disruption of daily routines, social isolation and distancing, academic pressures and changes in methods of learning, uncertainty about the future' are all factors that Quigneaux said 'strongly contributed to heightened stress and anxiety levels' among teens. 'Those 'unprecedented times' also left our youth with disrupted critical social and emotional learning environments,' she explained. 'This has led to them having to navigate their teen years and young adulthood with [fewer] skills and emotional resources in our ever-changing world.' So can you really blame Gen Zers for staring into the void and not knowing how to react in social situations? There have been times I wish I was brave enough to just walk away when I didn't want to interact with strangers, so more power to them! If your teen is going through anxiety or stress, the best thing you can do is to be 'an emotionally safe space' to support them, according to Quigneaux. Check in with them, talk to them about ways to handle different situations, and talk to a therapist if you need help. The next time someone gives you the Gen Z stare, maybe re-evaluate your own actions (are you being rude to customer service? Intruding on someone's personal space? Making a teen feel uncomfortable for no good reason?), then show some empathy for a generation that grew up in these wild and uncertain times. It's OK to talk to your own teens about how to react in different social and professional situations, but save random Gen Zers, whom you don't know, from the same lectures. Finally, try embracing the freedom of the Gen Z stare and see what happens. You might be surprised by how freeing it is!Best of SheKnows These 'Old Money' Names Are a Quiet Signal of Wealth & Prestige At 19, I Broke Up With Social Media – & Chose Myself AP Scores Just Came Out — Here's What to Do If Your Teen's Upset About Theirs
