Leah Williamson ready to lead 'new England' into huge summer
The Lionesses are preparing to defend their continental title but do so with a squad that looks markedly different from three years ago, with a new crop of fresh faces such as Aggie Beever-Jones and Michelle Agyemang having broken into the squad.

'It gives you a spike in your desire and all of those things to be better, and hopefully that means it is the start of a good summer.'

Regional Council Commits To Engaging On Seabed Mining Application Process
Taranaki Regional Council is keenly aware of and understands the desire from the community to state a position on the TTR seabed mining application, says Chair Craig Williamson. 'The Council is fully committed to its task of engaging with the process as maybe the region's only 'relevant local authority,' which brings certain opportunities to input into and potentially influence the outcome that other councils and the public will not have,' Mr Williamson says. 'Any formal position taken at this time by the Council will jeopardise its ability to participate, because of bias and predetermination. Council cannot be considered to offer fair and balanced advice, evidence and opinions on the application if it has a fomalised, publicly stated position on the matter. 'Because the Fast Track Approvals Act 2024 introduced by the Coalition Government does not give the public the ability to freely submit on the application, the Council considers it essential that it be able to participate in the process. 'This means that for now, the Council must maintain a neutral stance to ensure that is allowed to continue to participate in the fast-track approvals process but will reassess its position after considering the all the latest information and data made available during the submission process.' The Council expects to be considered and confirmed by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) as a 'relevant local authority' in the very near future, although this is still subject to confirmation by the EPA. Under the Fast Track Approvals Act, a decision on the application will solely be made by a panel created by the EPA for this purpose 'It is critical for the regional council to have a voice in this process as the legislation provides limited opportunities for public input. Waiting to consider all the information enables the Taranaki Regional Council to have a seat at the table,' adds Mr Williamson. 'If the regional council is identified as a 'relevant local authority' our responsibilities are to nominate a member to that decision-making panel, provide written comments on the application and, if a hearing is held, being able to speak to those comments. 'We would also provide additional information if requested by the EPA and provide comments on the conditions if the panel decides to grant the application. If the application is approved, we would expect to be involved in monitoring of the consent conditions.' The panel is expected to be appointed by mid to late July and the Council will be able to provide details of its appointee when the full panel members are identified. By law, the Fast Track Approvals Act only allows relevant local authorities, identified iwi authorities, and select others to make written comments on the application. Other local authorities and the public are excluded from making submissions unless invited to do so by the panel. While the Council, as the relevant local authority, will not initially be taking a formal stance on the application, Mr Williamson confirms it will be able to do so at the time of providing the Council's written comments.

Is 'The Waterfront' Happening? Here's What We Know
POV: you spent all weekend dissociating and watching The Waterfront on Netflix, and now there's nothing left to do but obsesses over a (potential) second season. Here's what we know about the future of this show, which is best described as one part Outer Banks hijinks, two parts Yellowstone family drama, and one million parts Topher Grace delivering the most deranged (compliment) performance of his career. But creator Kevin Williamson (who blessed us with Dawson's Creek and The Vampire Diaries) tells ScreenRant that he has plans for multiple seasons drawn up. "I've just sort of figured out who these actors are in these roles, and I would love a chance to write for them, and lean into them, and I think the show can just go up," he said. "There's a whole second season that I have planned out, and a third season, quite frankly. So I'm hoping I get the chance to tell those stories. I do think it's a fun show, and it's unlike anything I've ever done, and I just hope people enjoy it." Season 1 was filmed from August to December 2024, so if Netflix follows the same schedule, it seems fair to assume we could get season 2 this time next year. Stream Now! Cane kicked off the season being a pretty reluctant participant in his "life of crime" (the man just wants to run his fishery and flirt with his ex), but he'd literally shot Grady through the face by the season finale. In other words, Cane has officially embraced being a drug dealer. However, season 2 will find him more confused than ever. "He doesn't really wear crime well," Williamson tells Variety. "His father does. His father's really good at it. By returning to a life of crime, Harlan finds himself again. He finds his purpose, and he actually becomes a better person. I don't think that's necessarily true for Cane. Cane's going to have to stumble a bit. I don't think he's ever going to wear it well, and everything's going to be a compromise for him, and everything's going to be a moral dilemma." The Buckleys are getting a new boss. No offense to Harlan, but he and Cane don't exactly excel at being criminals (see: literally everything that happened this season), while Belle seems made for it. The season ended with her making a deal with Emmett (Harlen's business parter / biggest rival), and Williamson tells Variety that "She's just going to push him aside and do what she needs to do. The one thing that she states very clearly is she has earned the Buckley name, and she's right." He also went ahead and confirmed that the major "conflict" of season 2 will be Harlen vs Belle fighting for control over the family dynasty. Williamson tells IndieWire that "Of course, we have the Parkers who they're now beholden to, and I think there's a whole family there of interesting people. We had one, Topher Grace, this year. I think we're going to have a few more next year." Shawn mentioned that he has a boyfriend, but sadly we didn't get meet him in season 1. Expect that to change in season 2. As Williamson put it to Variety, "It'll be really interesting for that character to show up and what is his response to this Buckley family when he figures out who they are. It's gonna be fun to watch him navigate all the different characters in this new family dynamic." Peyton found out her husband cheated on her and reacted out with him and ominously saying "Everything's fine. You and me. We're fine. I'm gonna see to it." the stage for some weird vibes next season, to say the least. Williamson tells Variety "She had that moment where she could run, she could leave, and she almost does. But I think she has a better plan. She loves this man, and they say you can't change someone. Well, we're gonna watch her do it." Meanwhile, Danielle Campbell (who plays Peyton) tells Us Weekly, "She sets herself up as being aware of the family business and all of its flaws. I would like to see her be a powerhouse and take on a role inside of it where she would be very well-utilized as somebody who no one would initially perceive as being someone who's taking part in it. Just like you really wouldn't initially see Belle being involved. Women are so powerful and they have a completely different way of going about working than men. I think there's something really exciting about watching that on screen." All the major players in the Buckley family ended this season alive and well, so chances are we'll see them return for season two. And clearly there will be some new faces—including members of the Parker family, not to mention Shawn's boyfriend. We'll be updating this with more info as it drops, so stay tuned.
