Killer Relationship with Faith Jenkins Season 3 description:

Faith Jenkins, former criminal prosecutor at the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, explores the heart stopping details of murders traced back to romantic liaisons and close friendships that seemed perfect on the surface.  Stories investigated this season include a beloved second grade teacher who goes missing just as she’s embarking on a new chapter in her life; a former DEA agent found dead  after living a quiet life in the Florida Keys; a Korean War veteran whose murder unveils a tangled web of secrets and betrayal and a mother who vanishes on her way home from a prenatal yoga class. 

The real-life Jacquelyn Smith murder case

As CBS News reported, Keith was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife and his attempt to cover it up.

“This didn’t bring her back but we were elated and feel that definitely justice was served,” said Jacquelyn’s sister, Yvonne Saab, at sentencing. “And as I said on the record, the judge was very poignant and to the point. You could tell that she really reviewed this case thoroughly and made a decision that made us very happy.”

Tamar Braxton is getting lured into spilling her tea with reality show producer and podcaster Carlos King in the latest exclusive clip from We TV reality series, The Braxtons.

In the clip below, Braxton and King are meeting up to talk about what kind of live interview King wants to have with her. However, Braxton, who knows how King operates as a reality show producer, doesn’t want to reveal all of her business to the public.

In real time, though, we already know that she did, in fact, probably reveal too much about her relationship with JR Robinson, the Atlanta-based lawyer Braxton met on Queens’ Court. The interview covered in the series happened three months ago, and quickly made the rounds on social media. Unfortunately, their relationship has had many ups and downs, and is currently on a huge downward turn after their public and messy admission that they have divorced.

The Braxtons follows the Braxton family as they weather life without one of the Braxton sisters, Traci, who died in 2022 from esophageal cancer. The sisters, Toni, Towanda, Trina and Tamar, and their mother Evelyn (aka Ms. E), now try to pick up the pieces and bring their family closer together, even though there is still drama present.

According to the official synopsis:

In this new series, the fierce Braxton women reunite for the first time since the loss of their beloved sister, Traci, offering viewers a raw and unfiltered look at the family’s highs and lows across eight captivating episodes. Toni, Towanda, Trina, Tamar and Ms. E navigate careers, health challenges and busy personal lives while growing their family bond. Toni faces a critical health challenge as she prepares for her Vegas comeback. Trina starts therapy for PTSD. Towanda battles alopecia. Tamar focuses on her wellness journey. And Ms. E’s cooking show dream is becoming a reality. However, the family reuniting continues to bring up questions and unresolved issues. Will Traci’s last wish be enough for the family to be close again, as they once were?

The next episode of The Braxtons airs Sept. 13 at 9:30/8:30c on We TV.

For years now, there have been talks of the beloved, iconic ABC daytime soap opera, All My Children, returning in some form.

This week, we got a huge new update in how the show will come back….and it is interesting to say the least.

All My Children‘s new lease on life at Lifetime?

TVLine first broke the news that the show was being eyed to return as a franchise of television movies at Lifetime.

ABC, All My Children‘s former home, is connected to Lifetime as Disney owns a stake in Lifetime’s parent, A+E Networks.

After TVLine’s first report, A+E Networks confirmed the news that two All My Children movies are in development, including one that would be holiday-themed.

Which characters will be in the All My Children revival films?

As Deadline reported per their sources, “conversations are currently underway on the project, which is in a conceptual stage. There is no writer, and it is unclear yet which characters from the original series may be featured in the film. Like the soap, the potential movie will be set in Pine Valley, Pennsylvania, a fictional suburb of Philadelphia, which is modeled on the actual Philadelphia suburb of Rosemont.”

All My Children history: first revival series and prior new series attempt

All My Children initially ran from 1970 to 2011. After Prospect Park acquired the rights, a short-lived web series revival aired on The Online Network via Hulu in its early days. ABC went on to get the rights back and has been trying to plot the best way to bring the shows back to television for some time.

The latest attempt before the Lifetime movie news was when a primetime sequel series, Pine Valley was in development at ABC in late 2020. would focus on a young journalist with secret agenda that comes back to expose Pine Valley’s “dark and murderous history,” all while getting in the middle of a feud between the Kane and Santos families.

From Star writer Leo Richardson and executive produced by Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos and Andrew Stearn Robert Nixon (son of AMC creator Agnes Nixon), that project stalled in development and didn’t see the light of day.
