Lauren, the former wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, was shot in the shoulder in her Eagle Rock yard after she allegedly refused repeated commands to drop a handgun during an unrelated manhunt. The episode reportedly focuses on the ashes of Samuel Little, the man…...

However, Jared Padalecki's character in Season 5 of the Boys has not yet been revealed. However, we know that he will appear in The Boys Season 5 episode 5 and interact with Soldier Boy in the episode. While Jared Padalecki has mostly been tight-lipped about the identity of his character, he did tell us back in August 2025 that his character is "very excited to meet Soldier Boy," which tells us this much that Jared and Jensen Ackles will be sharing scenes on the screen, something long-time fans are eagerly waiting for.

However, in Europe there is a long tradition of people embracing the darker side by telling ghost stories during the festive season. One of the most famous Christmas stories of all, A Christmas Carol, is essentially a ghost story.
