TV fans baffled as sizzling period drama plays completely in Spanish
The Gilded Age is an American period drama from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes and usually airs in English on HBO.
However, due to a technical difficulty, fans were treated to a Spanish-dubbed version of the show, which left many struggling to understand what on earth was going on.
'@hbomax The Gilded Age is currently only playing in Spanish on my app and I cannot follow what is happening to Señora Russell. Help! Ayuda!' said kpfallon on X.
'Same here, ended up watching it with English subtitles, but it wouldn't let me switch it to English language audio. Kind of like watching a Tele Novella. Ay, caramba!'williamriccijr added.
'Is The Gilded Age in Spanish for everyone or am I having a stroke,' asked NKinRealLife.

Fans worked out that the only way to rectify the issue was to select Spanish for the audio – which, because of the switch-up, would play the audio in English.
'GildedAge tonight defaults to Spanish – go in and choose Spanish and it will play in English,' said 5horizns, a tip that was echoed by a lot of fans.
Although many worked out this hack, many didn't and just resigned themselves to watch the entire episode in a language they didn't understand.
'Exactly! Me too – just tweeted the same. However: I watched the damn thing in Spanish,' said sharonwaxman.
The series stars Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Cynthia Nixon, and Christine Baranski and is set around the boom years of the 1880s in New York City.
Carrie stars as one of the main characters, Bertha Russell, and had a hilarious reaction to the Spanish mix-up.
'¿A todos les gustó mi acento? GildedAgeHBO #BerthaRussell☺️,' said Carrie on X.
This translates to: 'Did everyone like my accent?' As she poked fun at the error.
Fans have praised the most recent third season, which kicked off in mid-June and is available for UK viewers on Sky. More Trending
The synopsis for the third season reads: 'Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionise the railroad industry — if it doesn't ruin him first.t
'Across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada's new position as lady of the house. As all of New York hastens toward the future, their ambition may come at the cost of what they truly hold dear.'

The Gilded Age season three is available to watch on Sky. Episodes will release every Monday in the UK. Seasons one and two are available to stream in full.

Hollyoaks confirms unexpected reunion for Ste and Rex
Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) is keen to reunite with Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey) in Hollyoaks next week – but not without son Lucas' (Oscar Curtis) blessing. Rex, as viewers know, targeted and groomed Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass) into a world of exploitation earlier this year while working with sister Grace Black (Tamara Wall) to traffic the teens of the village. He subsequently had a change of heart and turned himself in to the police after boyfriend Ste uncovered what he did to son Lucas' boyfriend Dillon, branding his partner a 'monster'. After some persuasion from Donny Clark (Louis Emerick), Rex decides to inform on sisters Grace and Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix) and next week, he's introduced to Froggy (John Middleton), shocked to realise that he's his granddad. And soon after, Rex is released from prison. Knowing he'll be public enemy number one if spotted, he hides in the shadows upon his return to the village. Ste, meanwhile, attempts to reach out to Lucas, who brushes him off, and later he's left in shock when Rex approaches him. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Despite what Rex did to Dillon – who is still very much struggling in the wake of his exploitation ordeal – it seems Ste is willing to give him another chance, but only if Lucas is receptive, reiterating that they will need to get his son's blessing. While Ste contemplates how exactly to get Lucas on side, Rex arrives at Grace's flat, much to the horror of Clare, who is in an unforgiving mood. Grace, however, is determined to turn over a new leaf and, unwilling to lose another brother, she pleads with Clare to leave Rex unharmed. Later, Ste finds Rex outside The Dog and, with Lucas out for the evening, he invites him over for tea, with the former flames spending the night together. More Trending As is always the case in this village, it doesn't take long for word to spread about Rex. When he pays a visit to The Hutch, the whole village turns against him, understandably refusing to forgive his role in the exploitation of the teens. The question is: will Ste's reunion with Rex prove controversial? How will Lucas react? Not to mention the rest of the village?

Emmerdale confirms unexpected new love interest for Belle after Tom King saga
Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor Draper) has been through hell and back in Emmerdale thanks to her thug of an ex Tom (James Chase) but right now, you'd never know it. She recently demonstrated her regained control and her regained fight when standing up to brother Cain (Jeff Hordley) as he tried to take on Sam. 'You're going to beat him like Tom and then he's going to respect you?' Mic drop for Belle Dingle right there. Cain was left gobsmacked. Belle being back in a good headspace means she's moving on, which also means she's ready to open herself up to romance once again. As she prepares to dip her toe back in the dating pool she chats to Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) who, having been there through the Tom saga and still feeling guilty about it, actively encourages her to jump back in. Belle loads up the dating apps and Nicola can't help but get involved, grabbing the phone for a good swipe. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video She comes across Kammy, who's not too bad looking and location-wise fits the bill, so she swipes right, to Belle's amusement. More Trending When Belle later bumps into Kammy (Shebz Miah), she confesses it was Nicola who connected them, leaving Kammy brave-facing it but secretly gutted. Cain, who has become weirdly intuitive these days, senses there's more there than an accidental swipe. He's not encouraging though, instead, he gives Kammy a talking to about backing off. Belle is mortified but tells Cain she has no interest anyway. But Lydia (Karen Blick) is also intuitive in a much more supportive way, and senses that Belle is protesting a bit too much. View More » She has a word with the young Dingle and encourages her to pursue the match. Forgetting that Kammy was once sleeping with Belle's great niece, could this be the latest greatest romance to hit the village?
