Jennifer Aniston teases ‘emotional' season four of The Morning Show
Jennifer Aniston has revealed the plot of the forthcoming fourth season of The Morning Show will be 'complicated'. The 56-year-old stars in the Apple TV+ drama, which follows a fictional breakfast show in the aftermath of a prominent news anchor being hit with a series of allegations, alongside Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup and Julianna Margulies. Aniston – who plays the TV anchor Alex Levy on the show alongside executive producing the series with co-star Witherspoon – told People that The Morning Show 'is just a beast to film'. 'It is layered, it's complicated, it's emotional, it hits on a lot of topics and current events, so let's just say, it's not Friends,' she added, referencing the Nineties show in which she played Rachel Green from 1994 to 2004. She continued: 'We're involved in every single aspect of the show, on top of just the performance side, which is a big piece of it. But I've got incredible support, and we have such an incredible team.' Season four of The Morning Show finished shooting in December last year, according to a post from Witherspoon's media company, Hello Sunshine. 'And that's a wrap on Season 4 of #TheMorningShow!' it read. 'Thank you to our incredible cast and crew for bringing this season to life. We can't wait for you all to see what's in store on @AppleTV!' Season three of The Morning show saw a romance begin between Aniston's Alex and the space tech billionaire Paul Marks, played by Jon Hamm. Elsewhere, Witherspoon's Bradley attempted to salvage her reputation as a journalist after she chose not to reveal video evidence of her brother taking part in the insurrection at the US Capitol. Speaking to Deadline, showrunner Charlotte Stoudt said the next season of the show would explore deepfakes and artificial intelligence. 'We blew everything up last year with the biggest bomb we could possibly build,' she said. 'So, we have to ask ourselves how is the band going to get back together, and what will that look like? 'We get into the world of deepfakes and AI and the misinformation in the fog of war that we're seeing now in the Middle East and stuff. 'We're looking at who can trust. And can you trust what you're seeing? Can you trust yourself? Can you trust your news outlet?' The Morning Show returns for season four on Wednesday, 17 September on Apple TV+

ER star who quit the show at peak of its fame and later retired from acting is seen in rare snap
This actress walked away from one of the hottest shows in television at the height of her career to focus on her personal life. The actress, now 58, was part of the original ER cast along with George Clooney, Noah Wyle, Julianna Margulies, Eriq LaSalle and Anthony Edwards. A photo of Sherry Stringfield, who starred as Dr. Susan Lewis, walked away from the Emmy winning show around 1997, three years into her five year contract has recently resurfaced on social media. The 2022 picture appears to be of a now silver haired Stringfield with a young man thought to be her son Milo Joseph, 21. Stringfield stated she wanted to be closer to her then-boyfriend who lived in New York City at the time. The actress also said she was exhausted by the 18 hours days the cast and crew had to put in to get the highly rated drama on air. 'You get a cold, they won't let you off for a cold, then you get the flu, then you're running a fever, you're still coming in, you're taking a nap on the gurneys in between scenes, you push, push, push, and finally your body says no f---ing way.' Stringfield, who revealed she contracted pneumonia and viral meningitis explained to Entertainment Weekly in 1997. It was the birth of her daughter, Phoebe, in March 2001, that made her realize that she needed the structure of a job. She asked to return to ER about six months after she and her ex-husband Larry Joseph welcomed their first child. 'Series television is either a nightmare or the best thing in the whole world. It really depends on, I think, where you are in your life,' the Emmy nominee told the Chicago Tribune at the time. 'It's a lot easier for me this time having a family, because with a kid, you're not going anywhere. So I was really starting to crave a schedule and I'm actually really enjoying that now.' Although the producers had been confused and angry at her decision to leave the show, they welcomed her back with open arms. 'I met with John Wells and I was like, "I'd love to come back." And he said, "OK, we'd love to have you back." That was it,' she said of the rehiring process. 'Then I moved, read the first script and showed up for work. It was really that easy.' She stayed with ER through the end of season 11, and her character was written out without any fanfare. While raising her family, Stringfield continued to remain active acting-wise, with small parts here and there. She had a nine episode run in the sci-fi series Under the Dome in 2014. Her last work was in 2017, in which she appeared in four episodes of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.
