Carter's Deadly Escape and a Family Shattered

The events that followed were a blur of confusion and disbelief as Cane, Billy (Jason Thompson), and others tried to process what had just happened.

Despite the pain of losing someone close to them, Cane remained firm in his decision not to give up on Lily. He begged her for forgiveness for his role in the tragic events and tried to convince her that he hadn't changed.

Billy's Investment in Abbott Communications and the Future of Genoa City
As Cane tried to make sense of the wreckage of his life, Billy approached him with an offer. In the midst of tragedy, Billy remained laser-focused on his goals, asking Cane to reconsider his investment in Abbott Communications. Despite the horrors that had unfolded, Billy couldn't pass up the opportunity to leverage his relationship with Cane for financial gain.
Billy's cold calculation didn't sit well with everyone, especially Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), who had witnessed the events unfold. But Billy remained resolute, determined to push forward with his plans for Chancellor, regardless of the carnage around him.
Lily's Heartbreak and Cane's Fate
In the midst of the chaos, Lily, reeling from the loss of Damian and the turn her relationship with Cane had taken, apologized for ever accusing him of murder. But her apology wasn't enough to bridge the gap that had formed between them. Cane's emotional plea fell on deaf ears as Lily made it clear that she couldn't continue on this path with him.
Later, Billy and Phyllis had a brief conversation about the devastation surrounding them, with Billy determined to keep his eyes on the prize—Chancellor. But for now, it seemed like all the emotional fallout had yet to settle, and the full consequences of Cane's actions were yet to be seen.
Nikki's Fear for Her Son
Meanwhile, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) was frantic with worry for Nick (Joshua Morrow), who had been injured in the chaos. Despite his assurances that he was fine, she couldn't stop fretting over his well-being. Her maternal instincts kicked in as she did everything in her power to ensure that Nick was okay.
When Nick's phone service returned, Victor (Eric Braeden) immediately reached out to Adam (Mark Grossman) to arrange a helicopter to get Nick the medical help he needed. As the helicopter flew in, it seemed like a glimmer of hope in a day filled with tragedy.
Nick, however, still insisted it was 'just a scratch,' trying to downplay the seriousness of the situation. He and Sharon (Sharon Case) shared a kiss as they continued to grow closer.

The trial of Jasveen Sangha, allegedly known as the Ketamine Queen, will begin on 23 September after an order from a Los Angeles judge on Tuesday.

The 42-year-old, who has pleaded not guilty, is charged with five counts of ketamine distribution, including one count of distribution resulting in death.

NFL to take 10% stake in ESPN in new media rights deal

Football MediaFacebookTweetLink Follow The NFL and ESPN announced a deal Tuesday that will see the league's NFL Network and other media assets headed to the cable television giant in exchange for a 10% equity stake in the Disney-owned company. The non-binding agreement will give ownership and control of the NFL Network to ESPN, while ESPN will also license additional NFL games, NFL RedZone and NFL Films programming from the league. The two sides will also merge their fantasy football operations. 'Today's announcement paves the way for the world's leading sports media brand and America's most popular sport to deliver an even more compelling experience for NFL fans, in a way that only ESPN and Disney can,' Robert A. Iger, chief executive officer of The Walt Disney Company said in a statement. 'Since its launch in 2003, NFL Network has provided millions of fans unprecedented access to the sport they love,' NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. 'The Network's sale to ESPN will build on this remarkable legacy, providing more NFL football for more fans in new and innovative ways.' The deal would license broad rights to the RedZone brand and linear distribution of the RedZone Channel to ESPN. ESPN's platforms will gain rights to an additional three NFL games per season, while some games previously licensed to ESPN will air on NFL Network, which will continue to broadcast seven games per season. 'This is an exciting day for sports fans,' Jimmy Pitaro, chairman of ESPN, said in a statement. 'By combining these NFL media assets with ESPN's reach and innovation, we're creating a premier destination for football fans,' said Jimmy Pitaro, chairman of ESPN. 'This deal helps fuel ESPN's digital future, laying the foundation for an even more robust offering as we prepare to launch our new direct-to-consumer service.' The NFL will continue to own and operate properties such as NFL Films, the official NFL team websites and more. The league will retain digital distribution rights to NFL RedZone, which it will continue to own and operate. The transactions are subject to further negotiation and approvals, including by the NFL team owners.

ESPN, NFL Deal Makes Football League Part Owner of Disney Sports Giant

ESPN and the NFL are helping to rewrite the playbook for keeping sports-media sustainable. In an unorthodox maneuver, the league will take a minority stake in the giant Disney sports outlet, which will gain control over NFL Network and the NFL RedZone highlights service, in addition to three pro-football games that were being shown via the NFL's own cable assets. The tie-up is likely to boost the appeal of a new direct-to-consumer streaming service ESPN plans to unveil in the weeks leading up to the next NFL season — a service that would be turbo-charged over time if it included RedZone and more football.

Disney Capitalizes on Bag Charm Craze With Their Own Japanese Plush Toys UFC Fight Night: Taira vs. Park Livestream - Here's How to Watch the MMA Event Online Live for Free 'They have to come out of the gate for that launch with some big bang, and clearly, this is it,' says Daniel Cohen, executive vice president of media rights advisory at Octagon, a talent and sports advisory firm that is part of Interpublic Group. The arrangement will give Disney more heft at the negotiating table with distributors and new firepower in its effort to outmaneuver streaming rivals. The pact is the most recent example of sports entities and media companies combining business. Fox recently took a 33% stake in Penske Entertainment, which owns the IndyCar motor racing series as well as Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Fox also owns part of the nascent United Football League. ESPN in June took a stake in the Premier Lacrosse League, in addition to striking a new five-year rights deal with the organization. Warner Bros. Discovery is a part owner of the upstart women's basketball league Unrivaled. The deal with Disney will give the NFL a 10% stake in ESPN, which estimates from Octagon value at as much as $2.2 billion to $2.5 billion. 'Today's announcement paves the way for the world's leading sports media brand and America's most popular sport to deliver an even more compelling experience for NFL fans, in a way that only ESPN and Disney can,' said Robert A. Iger, Walt Disney's CEO, in a statement. 'Commissioner Goodell and the NFL have built outstanding media assets, and these transactions will add to consumer choice, provide viewers with even greater convenience and quality, and expand the breadth and value proposition of Disney's streaming ecosystem.' Such alliances may throw a few flags on the field. ESPN could come under new scrutiny from sports organizations ranging from the NCAA to UFC, all of whom will no doubt analyze their own agreements with the network to determine if they are getting terms more favorable or less than the league that now co-owns the media property. And ESPN may be forced into more difficult situations when its journalists seek to report on hot-button issues tied to the NFL, such as the effects of game play on the brains of its athletes; the league's growing sway over traditional media companies; or off-field behavior by prominent players. In 2003, for example, ESPN and the NFL were at odds with one another over 'Playmakers,' an original ESPN drama series that showed football players coping with personal problems, injuries, drugs and more. The show got high ratings, but was scrapped under pressure from the league. If other leagues take issue with ESPN's new embrace of the NFL, they aren't saying so out loud. Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League declined to comment on any ramifications of the NFL taking a stake in ESPN. And within the NBA, however, there is a belief that the agreement will make ESPN stronger, according to a person familiar with the matter and are 'comfortable' with the new alliance. The NBA declined to make executives available for comment. These new types of team-ups make increasing sense in an era when sports rights have become critical for media companies that want to attract broad audiences — something advertisers and distributors still crave, even as consumers migrate to watching video favorites on demand, at times of their own choosing. At the same time, the price tag for keeping sports in the portfolio is soaring exponentially, even as many traditional media companies are grappling with dips in advertising and distribution. NFL games are, at least so far in the streaming era, the most stable pieces of property a media company can get. The broadcasts are typically the most-watched of the last few years. Adding distribution of NFL Network and the RedZone service makes ESPN 'the lion in the jungle,' says Cohen, and better monetizes the rights fees for Disney. And yet, the economics of the cable networks showing the games aren't so robust. Thanks to the widespread adoption of streaming, the ESPN and ESPN2 cable networks are each projected to see their subscribers drop to 57.9 million and 57.8 million respectively by the end of 2026, according to data from Kagan, a research unit of S&P Global Market Intelligence, compared with 61.4 million each at the end of 2025. The NFL Network, meanwhile, has seen its subscriber base drop steadily, according to Kagan. To 46.7 million in 2024, compared with 72.3 million in 2023. The alliance may also serve Disney well in the not-too-distant future. In its last set of rights deals struck for a 11-year period starting with the 2022 season, the NFL won the right to overhaul its contracts and seek better terms after 2029. Owning a piece of ESPN is likely to keep the league from seeking a re-do of rights for 'Monday Night Football.' 'This ensures some longer-term stability in the relationship between ESPN and the NFL beyond 2029,' says Cohen. For its part, the NFL would have a piece of Disney's future. Bob Iger, the CEO of the company has increasingly articulated a path that hinges heavily on reaching digital viewers. Under terms of the deal, ESPN will merge its fantasy football properties with those from the league. The NFL will continue to The NFL will continue to operate properties such as NFL Films and the NFL+ subscription streaming outlet, as well as official sites for the league's 32 clubs. The NFL retains the rights to distribute NFL RedZone digitally. Disney and the NFL may need time to maneuver the deal into the end zone. Regulatory review could take a year, suggests Cohen, and the NFL Players Association may have concerns tied to whether the pact would affect revenue from media rights that is shared with players. But if the pact is completed, Cohen says, it could represent 'an increasingly relevant blueprint for other leagues to look at.'
