Church removes remains of Bishop Eamonn Casey from cathedral crypt
The remains of an Irish bishop accused of sexual abuse have been removed from a cathedral crypt and placed in the care of his family, his former diocese has said.

He was interred in the crypt of Galway's Cathedral of Our Lady Assumed into Heaven and Saint Nicholas after his funeral mass was held there.

Annie Murphy was convinced she didn't get 'Schitt's Creek' role when Dan Levy called: 'Please put me out of my misery'
The role of Alexis Rose came at the perfect time in Annie Murphy's career, but Dan Levy made her believe she didn't land the part. In a recent episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Murphy recalled the audition process for Schitt's Creek, during which she tried out for ditzy daughter Alexis and grumpy motel front desk clerk Stevie. The opportunity to work on Schitt's Creek came to Murphy at a difficult time in her life when she had doubted her future in Hollywood and grappled with losing her home in Toronto. "I felt like I was going to get Stevie because Stevie felt more like me," Murphy said. "And I'm so glad I got the part that I did because it was a character." Weeks passed, however, and Murphy did not hear back. Finally, Levy, the show's co-creator, called her. But instead of sharing the good news right away, Levy toyed with her a bit before officially offering her the job. "I got a call from Dan and he was like, 'Hey, just wanted to thank you so much for all the effort and all the time that you put in. Yeah, we really appreciated it so much,'" Murphy recalled. "And that's what people say when they're about to be like, 'F--- you, we went with someone else.' And I was like, 'Okay, thanks so much.'" And then I was signing off the call and he was like, 'Just one quick thing, um, do you want to play my sister on the show?'" The call changed her life, she said. But in the middle of the call, before Levy shared the good news, she thought: "Please put me out of my misery."Murphy said she fell into a sibling dynamic with Levy, who plays her on-screen brother David, immediately, adding that doing the show was so fun, she hopes for a possible Schitt's Creek movie one day.

‘Nine Perfect Strangers' Actors Share Messages For Their Characters
(Left to right) Christine Baranski, Lucas Englander, Murray Bartlett, Lena Olin, Maisie ... More Richardson-Sellers, King Princess, Nicole Kidman, Mark Strong, Annie Murphy, Aras Aydın, Henry Golding and Dolly de Leon in "Nine Perfect Strangers" With only one episode left of Hulu's second season of Nine Perfect Strangers, we find Masha (played by Nicole Kidman) continuing to strive to help a group of troubled individuals achieve a greater level of wellness, through her rather unconventional and somewhat dangerous methods. Nicole Kidman as Masha on "Nine Perfect Strangers" From a self-centered business mogul to a music prodigy and even a former nun, Nine Perfect Strangers dives deep into the past trauma and lingering issues of these adults from all walks of life. Without spoiling the outcome of this 8-episode season, I asked this ensemble cast of actors my original, signature interview question, wondering what they would say to their conflicted Nine Perfect Strangers characters, if only they could. King Princess as Tina on "Nine Perfect Strangers" Actor King Princess said, 'I would say - Tina, that was a really good first step. You need to do so much therapy. Please - you're a disaster.' Annie Murphy as Imogen on "Nine Perfect Strangers" Annie Murphy, who plays Imogen, said with her character in mind, 'Chill out! Let's dial it down just a little bit. She is so impulsive and speaks as soon as she thinks, and I think just taking a little beat - taking a little breath - is always the best thing to do.' Murray Bartlett as Brian on "Nine Perfect Strangers" Actor Murray Bartlett said, 'I would say to Brian - leave the puppet work behind and connect with people.' Christine Baranski as Victoria and Annie Murphy as Imogen on "Nine Perfect Strangers" Christine Baranski, who plays Victoria, said, 'That it's okay to leave the house with no makeup on - no lipstick - and just to be human and live in the moment and love the people close to you.' Mark Strong as David on "Nine Perfect Strangers" Actor Mark Strong said, 'I think I would probably tell David just to chill out and go with the flow a little bit more, because obviously he arrives and thinks he is above it all and it's not going to have any effect on him - but it turns out that it does.' (Left to right) Mark Strong, Aras Aydın, Christine Baranski and Henry Golding on "Nine Perfect ... More Strangers" Aras Aydın, who plays Matteo, said, 'Let's dance! Let's have fun.' Dolly de Leon as Agnes on "Nine Perfect Strangers" Actor Dolly de Leon said, 'I would tell Agnes - you're on the right track.' Lena Olin as Helena and Nicole Kidman as Masha on "Nine Perfect Strangers" Lena Olin, who plays Helena, said, 'I would say to my character, if you take someone on and you're trying to steer someone in the right direction - if you're trying to save someone, you just have to be happy when they fly, even if they fly away from you, and you have to see that as success.' Henry Golding as Peter on "Nine Perfect Strangers" Actor Henry Golding said, 'I think for Peter, I would say be yourself - everybody else is taken. I think he's trying to sort of live up to something that he can never achieve, where he should feel comfortable in who she is.' Lucas Englander as Martin on "Nine Perfect Strangers" Lucas Englander, who plays Martin, said, 'I'd go raving with him. I want him to just have a place where he can feel free, and I think that if he finds a space of freedom, maybe he can also allow that to be a part of his everyday life of not judging other people and not pretending to have to be somebody. Maybe that's going to allow for him to actually take on other perspectives, without the certain kind of violence that he has inside of himself.' Maisie Richardson-Sellers as Wolfie on "Nine Perfect Strangers" Actor Maisie Richardson-Sellers said, 'I would say to Wolfie - someone can only meet you as much as they met themselves. You can lead a horse to water - you can't make it drink. So, just forget about trying to cure everyone else - Tina - and just focus on yourself.'

Where Was Nine Perfect Strangers Filmed?
The Alpine setting of the second season of Nine Perfect Strangers is a far cry from the California wellness resort portrayed in season one. This new season, currently airing weekly on Hulu, continues the unorthodox efforts of Masha Dmitrichenko (Nicole Kidman), who hopes to heal her unwitting guests using psychedelics. This time, she moves on from Tranquillum to a mountainside resort called Zauberwald. 'Masha is a person who has to evolve,' explains executive producer Bruna Papandrea. 'The move was a natural progression for her as a character, but also to be in this incredible environment and have her guests come there is a very natural story element that we always anticipated doing for a second season. What we felt was that a winter setting was both slightly ominous, but also incredibly beautiful and also luxurious.' To film season two, the cast temporarily relocated to Munich, where they lived for six months. Shooting took place around Austria and Germany, as well as on a soundstage. Locations included Salzburg, Hallstatt, Alpendorf, Leopoldskron Palace, and Gradonna Ski Resort. 'We really did get to do a lot of very cool bopping around to some crazy locations that I don't think we would have ever found ourselves in otherwise,' notes Annie Murphy, who plays Imogen, one of Zauberwald's guests. To film season two of Nine Perfect Strangers, the cast temporarily relocated to Munich (pictured), where they lived for six months. Getty Images On set, the actors became especially close, and Christine Baranski, who plays the wealthy Victoria, encouraged their bonding. In the series, Murphy plays Victoria's estranged daughter, Murray Bartlett plays former children's TV host Brian, Henry Golding plays rich kid Peter, and musician King Princess plays a struggling pianist who travels with her girlfriend Wolfie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers). Below, Papandrea, Murphy, and King Princess speak to Condé Nast Traveler about their experiences filming Nine Perfect Strangers. What vibe did you want Zauberwald to have? Bruna Papandrea: What we all really wanted was the sense of history, because Masha has history with this place and there is that incredible sense of the old that you get throughout Europe. But [it has] been redone to be very luxurious and very opulent. Soho House does it brilliantly all over Europe. That was one of our references for how you take something incredibly old and historical and update it and make it really beautiful and new. We wanted it to feel very warm and very beautiful, and to have elements of any luxury wellness retreat. To achieve a luxurious and opulent feel for the locations of Nine Perfect Strangers, the team turned to Soho House locations in Europe for inspiration, according to the show's executive producer Bruna Papandrea. Udo Kramer Was the exterior of Zauberwald an actual resort? King Princess: The exterior was Franz Ferdinand's hunting castle, Schloss Blühnbach. Annie Murphy: The reason we shot in Germany in the first place is because they wanted such a stark difference between season one and season two, and they wanted season two to be this beautiful snow globe-y winter wonderland. Then cut to it being the hottest winter on record for decades and decades. These poor ski towns that make their entire annual income from tourism, everything ground to a halt. In so many shots of us in our parkas and our hats and our mitts we're just pretending to have chattering teeth and we're sweating underneath there. Behind the scenes, the crew was there was shoveling like snow that had been trucked in and was slowly melting. But one day at Blühnbach there was the most glorious snowstorm—it's a scene where we're all snowshoeing. But then it snowed so much that we got snowed in and had to wait to be shoveled out.
