All American Bosses Break Down Olivia's Big News in Episode 2 — Including a Bonus Spoiler!
All American Jordan and Layla Baker very nearly turned into expectant parents during All American's latest outing. Fortunately for a panic-stricken Layla, she and Jordan won't be called Mom and Dad anytime soon — but they will become a cool aunt and uncle in a few short months.

Skeleton Crew Creators Talk Stealth Marvel Cameo, Neel/Hayna's Future and Outlook for Jod's Redemption Yep, as revealed during Monday's episode — which guest-starred former series regular Samantha Logan — Olivia is actually the pregnant member of The Vortex, whereas Layla's seemingly affirmative pregnancy test was the result of a false positive. (Don't feel any disappointment for her, though: A hugely relieved Layla realized, in real time, that she wasn't quite ready for parenthood, after all.) Sadly, since Daniel Ezra wasn't guest-starring in this episode, we didn't get to see or hear Spencer's reaction when Olivia called him to share that he'll be a dad. But TVLine did catch up with co-showrunners Nkechi Okoro Carroll and Jameal Turner, who broke down Olivia's pregnancy revelation — complete with a spoiler about how many children she's having! — and what it means for future Season 7 episodes. TVLINE | Walk me through the pregnancy of it all. We spend the episode thinking Layla's pregnant; it turns out Olivia's expecting instead. Why was this the right time for both couples to broach that subject, and how'd you land on Olivia being pregnant?CARROLL | For Layla, we see her in Episode 1, and she's worried that she's peaked too soon, right? At a very young age, she's accomplished all of these big-ticket items. The one thing that she wasn't ready for, but is a reality of young couples, was the idea of, 'OK, are you ready to be a parent?' … As she's navigating where she is and what she wants, we felt like that storyline — and the digging she would have to do within herself to acknowledge the fear of it, and if she was ready — would also help her prioritize if she really has peaked, or if that was just fear talking and she has more ahead of her. There's nothing like that kind of scared to catapult you into, 'Oh, you do want to do more. You do want to achieve more. You just reached one of the platforms, and now it's time to keep going up to the next one.' For Olivia and Spencer, their first pregnancy was always a storyline we wanted to do, and it was something I envisioned coming a little later this season. And it was our writers, as they were pitching out the episode, that were like, 'Just go with us here. What do you think if it's not just that Layla isn't pregnant, but that Liv is?' And at first I was like, 'No, no, it's too soon. Let's save that for another episode where she comes back later. I want them to enjoy their young married life.' And it doesn't happen often, but I went home and I slept on it, and I woke up the next morning and was like, 'Oh my gosh. We have to see Olivia pregnant. We have to see how this affects her life, and if we're going to do that, then it does need to be now, so we can see how it progresses.' God bless Jamie and Adrian [Dukes], our writer, because I called them either late at night or super-early in the morning and I was like, 'OK, just kidding! Forget the new storyline we just put in yesterday. I think your instincts are correct, and Olivia should be pregnant now.' And also, in an episode where they're missing Billy and talking about his impact, what a beautiful way to extend the legacy of the Baker family than to know the new set of twins is coming. So that's how it ended up being in the second episode versus later in the season. TVLINE | I didn't know it was twins! I guess we'll find that out down the road?CARROLL | Exactly. Spoiler alert! TVLINE | You just alluded to something that I was going to ask about: As exciting as this is for Olivia and Spencer, they're also not regulars this season, and I assumed most of their pregnancy journey would happen offscreen — but it sounds like we get to see some of it play out on the show?TURNER | We're fortunate to be able to evenly spread it across, in terms of any OG [cast] appearances. Daniel will have an episode later in the season, so there will be more things that will be revealed [about the pregnancy] in that. In a really cool way, we'll tie in everything that's going on with him, as an anticipating father, that's also connected to our newer characters. We found a way to anchor it to both, so that we're still keeping the 'Spelivia' impact alive, while also finding a way to connect it back to our newer characters. That will play out in a later episode. TVLine also caught up with Greta Onieogou, who plays Layla, and she confirmed that Layla's pursuit of new professional challenges will be 'a huge theme for her this season,' as Carroll indicated. 'She has a lot more tools, a lot better ways of problem-solving and figuring out how to get through these moments in a way that's much more healthy and proactive,' Onieogou tells us. 'She definitely finds what that next thing is, and I'm really excited for people to see that.' fans, how did you react to Monday's episode — both Layla's non-pregnancy and Olivia's pregnancy?

For Captain America Film, Anthony Mackie Asked to Ditch Falcon and Winter Soldier Cowl: ‘I Was Never Wearing That S–t Again'
It appears that Sam Wilson asked Wakanda for some alterations after he suited up as Captain America in Disney+'s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series. In a new interview with MCU vet Anthony Mackie says that he demanded to ditch the white 'half-helmet' cowl and goggles that Wakanda had gifted Sam with in the Falcon and the Winter Soldier finale. More from TVLine Jonas Brothers Christmas Movie Coming to Disney+ - Watch Love, Actually-Inspired Announcement Skeleton Crew Creators Talk Stealth Marvel Cameo, Neel/Hayna's Future and Outlook for Jod's Redemption Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Just Solved a Major Mystery From Its Pilot In the finale, Sam — amid much internal debate, after recently having his eyes opened by Black super soldier Isaiah Bradley's (Alias' Carl Lumbly) tragic tale — picked up Cap's mantle after decorated war hero John Walker (Lodge 49's Wyatt Russell) did it dirty by murdering a Flag Smasher in cold blood. With encouragement from Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) as well as his own sister Sarah (Adepero Oduye), Sam decided that the suffering of Isaiah and others would mean nothing if he didn't step up, stand up and keep fighting. He just kept fighting in a brand-new fit, that's all. 'I told them that I was never wearing that s–t again,' Mackie shared with IGN. 'That was hard… with the heat, the sweat, the fogged-up glasses. It was impossible. It was my worst nightmare. ' Constricted by a half-helmet and goggles, 'You can't do anything,' he explained. "I told them I was never wearing that s**t again," said Captain America: Brave New World's Anthony Mackie of the white cowl that was introduced in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. — IGN (@IGN) February 7, 2025 Mackie makes his big-screen debut as Cap in Captain America: Brave New World, which hits theaters next Friday, Feb. 14. 'After meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford in his MCU debut), Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident,' the film's official logline tells us. 'He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.' Speaking of 'seeing red,' promotional materials and trailers for months have hyped up Ford's Red Hulked-out Thaddeus. We also see in trailers that Sam reunites with Isaiah Bradley, one of the original Super Solders, who has an ominous warning for the new Cap. Marvel TV Status Report: The Latest on Daredevil, the Vision Series and 10 Others View List In addition to Mackie, Ford and Lumbly, the Brave New World cast includes Giancarlo Esposito (Parish) as Seth Voelker aka Sidewinder, the King of the Serpent Society; Danny Ramirez (Top Gun: Maverick) reprising his own FAWS role of Joaquin Torres, who is now the new Falcon; plus Shira Haas (Bodies), Xosha Roquemore (The Mindy Project), , Liv Tyler (9-1-1: Lone Star) and Tim Blake Nelson (Watchmen). Mackie has described Brave New World as, akin to 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier, 'a grounded espionage action movie as opposed to aliens and airplanes coming through portals and s–t. Even though I've been in so many of them and have seen it all now, the opportunity for Sam to really establish himself as a true action star and Avenger comes with this movie.'Best of TVLine Yellowjackets' Tawny Cypress Talks Episode 4's Tai/Van Reunion: 'We're All Worried About Taissa' Vampire Diaries Turns 10: How Real-Life Plot Twists Shaped Everything From the Love Triangle to the Final Death Vampire Diaries' Biggest Twists Revisited (and Explained)
