(AP) — The 34-year-old son of NBA great Michael Jordan was arrested early Tuesday in central Florida on a misdemeanor drug charge after police officers found his car stuck on railroad tracks minutes before a commuter train was scheduled to pass
Marcus Jordan was charged with possession of cocaine
Officers with the Maitland Police Department found Jordan’s Lamborghini sports utility vehicle immobile on railroad tracks in the suburb of Orlando
with a commuter train just 10 minutes away
because the vehicle’s tires were buried in dirt and rock from being spun repeatedly
Officers learned that Jordan had just fled from a traffic stop in a neighboring county
They asked him to get out of the vehicle after smelling alcohol and noticing his slurred speech and confusion
They found a bag of what tested positive for cocaine in his pants
a former University of Central Florida basketball player
refused to talk to reporters when he was released Tuesday from the Orange County Jail
— The city of Maitland took another step toward building a brand new library during a special City Council meeting Wednesday
The Maitland City Council voted unanimously to approve the design of the future building after hearing from their contracting partners RVI Planning and HBM Architecture during the meeting
While it may cost each Maitland resident about $100-$200 more per year in taxes
city voters supported the library referendum in 2024.
And now the city has an idea of what the new library will look like
“Today was a monumental time for the council to unanimously vote on the design
on what the actual layout of the building will be
so that we will now go forward with this design plan and move into pre-planning for construction," Maitland Public Information Officer Robert Sargent said
20,000-square-foot building constructed in Quinn Strong Park where it will take over for the original library building
a city-owned lot and the Maitland Senior Center near Maitland and Packwood Avenues will be torn down
City officials say programs from the center will be moved to other facilities
The city has been working on this plan since 2017
but when it was determined that the original library couldn’t be updated without diminishing the interior
the City Council worked to figure out another way to maintain their foundations
“This building carries forward the tradition that the Maitland Library has as a cornerstone for this community in being something that involves many people in the community for different services and stuff
and remains that important segment of the community," Sargent said
The current budget for the project is about $20 million
which was approved by 69% of residents during a March referendum
you want to have nice things to keep its identity
and there’s nothing like a library to enhance the needs of the community," Bob Allen said
"So it was money well spent and I think it was welcomed.”
Wednesday’s meeting gave people like Allen a chance to see what the new library will look like
and it’s going to be something we’re proud of," Allen said
It is still unclear what the original library will be used for
but city officials say the building will stay intact
Design plans for the new library are set to be finalized by August
with construction expected to start in January 2026
since Traci had been in a relationship of a romantic nature that was not too troubled,” begins Beth Maitland of her alter ego’s state of mind
“She has been so surprised by this gift that has fallen from the sky into her lap that she never in a million years expected
This romance at this stage of the game for her has caused not only elation and surprise and happiness and completion
but is setting us up for all of the questions that are about to be revealed
that Traci is not exactly sure who that man is across the table.”
An illuminating conversation with Sharon strongly connects the dots between the kidnapping and the text messages that she saw on Alan’s phone, which gives Traci pause. “This is the first time that she is suspicious of him,” notes Maitland. “Traci is full-hearted and lovely, but she’s not stupid. And being a writer, she has a very active imagination, sort of like Murder, She Wrote
Nerve endings are starting to not lay smooth
and I think Traci is starting to see some warning signs
Sharon starts to reveal information about her abduction that starts lining up with messages on Alan’s phone.”
Traci’s wheels are turning as she looks back on her recent interactions with Alan
“The timing in question starts to fall into place for her,” adds Maitland
Sharon confirms for her some suspicions; the seeds have been planted and are starting to grow.”
The enormity of Alan’s possible evildoing causes serious distress for Traci. “It sends her right into crisis mode, because not only is this late-in-life, absolute surprise of happiness being completely yanked out from under her, it also indicates that there are threats that she feels responsible for, to both Sharon and Phyllis, and to her sister Ashley [Abbott, Eileen Davidson],” points out Maitland
“She feels responsible for putting people in harm’s way because she didn’t figure this out sooner or see through him
there are lots of layers for Traci in that all of this causes her to want to help to put a stop to this and find out what the truth is.”
Unsure of her next move, Traci turns to her brother Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) for counsel
and Traci needs his feedback,” explains Maitland
“She needs to run all of this by him and have him be her voice of reason for a change and tell her if he feels she’s off-base or overreacting
and trying to actually sort through this and get to the bottom of things.”
The actress admits she was waiting for the other shoe to drop in Traci’s burgeoning romance
“I was absolutely not surprised,” muses Maitland of the Alan twist
you can’t be happy on daytime very long
you’re relegated to go upstairs to wash your hair and never come back
The good news is that we start from the perspective that Traci already has a life she loves
She’s everybody’s go-to for a sounding board and a moral compass
Maitland is aware that not everyone will be as thrilled to see Traci’s happily ever after upended
“There’s a huge fan base of women of a certain age
and people who have watched Traci go through all of her four decades of pain
and we’re disappointing those people somewhat,” Maitland acknowledges
she would be even more boring than just being everyone’s shoulder to lean on
so I feel like there has to be something to tear it up a little bit
Maitland is thankful for Traci’s part in the tale and that her character has a hand in cracking the case
“It’s definitely a generous story gift to Traci to be able to be a part of unraveling all of this,” offers the actress
speaks to the fun that can be had in daytime if you go ahead and embrace the formula that we’re in
delicious idea that the big conflict for viewers watching entertainment is this famous catchphrase
and the audience’s agreement that everything doesn’t have to be completely factual
you willfully agree that this may not make a whole bunch of sense
there’s a whole aspect of this that is delightful
that these kinds of stories still get to be toyed with,” she concludes
Something that she appreciates after all her years in Genoa City
especially as the show celebrates its 52nd anniversary on Wednesday
“I’m winding up my 42nd year in about a month
and I will start my 43rd year on the show,” Maitland marvels
I feel like this is where I’m meant to be
I never am happier than when I have dates on the calendar and I know I’m driving to that studio.”

Honeymoons traditionally don’t last long on soap operas but poor Traci Abbott, played by Daytime Emmy-winner and fan favorite Beth Maitland may not even get to go on one in light of recent discoveries about her fiancé Alan (Christopher Cousins) on The Young and the Restless
The CBS soap has done its viewers a true service by taking Traci from her position as family talk-to and putting her in a story all of her own
Instead of consoling and supporting family members and friends
Fans have waited a while to see both Maitland and Traci have a story in which they can both shine and it’s terrific watching it all unfold
Y&R didn’t drag Traci connecting the dots out over weeks and months as shows are sometimes known to do
a woman who juggles numerous dynamics and relationships in her novels
It’s only logical that she’d get suspicious and ask questions
We watched the happy feelings Traci was experiencing over her love for Alan slowly start to crumble
Traci became a detective character in her own life by dropping by Crimson Lights
ostensibly to get a muffin for nephew Harrison
but we could tell why Traci was truly there
She wanted to pick Sharon’s brain about her kidnapping ordeal and see if there was a connection to Alan
Maitland has always brought warmth and compassion to her role as John Abbott’s (the late Jerry Douglas) daughter
And even though Traci was on a fishing expedition
she never lost sight of giving support to Sharon
who’d been through a horrific ordeal
We saw Traci try to suppress her reactions every time Sharon shared a piece of news that only supported Traci’s fears that Alan – or Martin – is responsible for what she and Phyllis had gone through
and not being 100% positive that Alan is guilty
Traci wisely chose not to share her suspicions with Sharon
Our hearts broke for Traci as she grew more suspicious and incredulous that the man she loves is capable of such atrocities
The Abbott siblings have one of the most believable familial dynamics on soaps. Maitland and TV brother Peter Bergman (Jack Abbott) have worked together for over 35 years
Who better for Traci to turn to than the already-suspicious Jack
Jack played both sounding board and devil’s advocate to his sister as she shared her theories about Alan
Jack didn’t want to break Traci’s heart as she detailed her secret fears
but he also doesn’t want her to be in harm’s way
Jack provided a safe space for Traci to lay out her theory as if she were plotting out one of her novels
Tears began to well up in Traci’s eyes as she more fully realized the theory that Alan is guilty is likely true
Traci waited a while for romance to enter her life again
Maitland played her character’s pain
and perhaps even a little guilt (which she shouldn’t feel at all!) all at once
which isn’t always entertaining to watch
Maitland reminded us that her character is a strong woman
She’s the type of person that anyone is truly lucky and blessed to have in his or her corner
Maitland is also bringing remarkable strength to her role
She is not going to let Alan or whoever he is or anyone else for that matter hurt her loved ones
She’s taking an active role in exposing Alan if he is indeed guilty
Traci can’t help but have an occasional glimmer of hope when it comes to the man – even though she knows with each passing moment the possibility of that is extremely slim
Seeing those glimmers of light extinguished by facts and gut instincts is heartbreaking because we care about Traci so much
We expect there’s more angst and drama to come into Traci’s life as this story continues to develop
she’ll continue being surrounded by a loving family
And she’ll also be able to write a heck of a real-life crime novel based on all of this someday

After Boy Meets World alums Maitland Ward and Danielle Fishel reignited their feud on the Pod Meets World podcast
the former shared her thoughts on the heated argument
Unfortunately, friendship wasn't a gift for Maitland Ward and Danielle Fishel
After the Boys Meets World costars rehashed their feud on Danielle
Will Freidle and Rider Strong's podcast Pod Meets World
Maitland believes the heated conversation was "orchestrated" by its hosts
"I think she wanted to catch me off guard," she said of Danielle—who starred as Topanga Lawrence for all seven seasons—to The New York Post in an interview published Feb
"I think she wanted to try to rattle me and she did."
"What's really hurtful about the situation is," she continued
"maybe she was mad and she wanted to bring it up like that—but Will had presented this show to me before like it was going to be so much fun."
Will and Rider for comment and has not yet heard back
Will—who played Eric Matthews opposite Maitland's Rachel McGuire—was the one who invited her on because she had "been closer to him" than Danielle and Rider
"He's always been a friend to me
We weren't seeing each other every day
If he knew this was gonna happen like this and didn't give me any warning about it
who joined the cast in seasons six and seven
said that she would've appreciated a warning ahead of the episode to prepare if Danielle was ready to hash out their grievances
"I was not going to start anything with her," the 44-year-old said
"We were just going to have conversations
I thought it was weird that she wasn't bringing anything up
It wasn't until the latter part of the episode that things started heating up
Although the Rated X author said she was more than willing to squash their beef
she believes they should've talked about it ahead of time
As for what was said on the podcast episode
Maitland accused Danielle of refusing to speak with her in 2014 during the premiere of Girl Meets World as well as unfriending her on Facebook
"I am not a Facebook person," Danielle explained
insisting that she tried to make amends in 2022 when Will told her about a heartfelt message Maitland sent years prior
"I then went into my Facebook page and saw that we were not friends
I didn't remember when we were friends on Facebook or when we were no longer friends on Facebook
I found your message in the graveyard of messages—and I then felt very bad."
you did send me a really nice message,’” she continued
‘Will you please ask Maitland if I could have her phone number so I could apologize to her?’ And you wrote back to Will
not much was resolved between the two when the episode winded down
"You and I have totally different and both perfectly valid experiences," Danielle concluded
Read on to see all the feuds from the set of Boy Meets World
Maitland Ward & Danielle Fishel's Beef
the issue seemed to stem from a Facebook message Maitland sent Danielle in 2013 in which she congratulated her on her engagement to now ex-husband Tim Belusko and Boy Meets World spin-off Girl Meets World
Danielle said she didn't see the note at the time
It wasn't until Maitland mentioned the message in the press years later
that Danielle went back to look for it—finding it in a "graveyard" of DMs.Danielle noted she then asked costar and podcast cohost Will Friedle (Eric) for Maitland's phone number to apologize but that Maitland didn't want to talk privately at that point—saying Maitland told Will she'd save the conversation for the podcast and "rock the stats." However
Maitland said she didn't want to speak to Danielle because she thought her reach-out was "disingenuous."Among her proof: The fact that Danielle had unfriended her on Facebook
something Danielle insisted she "never purposefully" did
Maitland also said on the podcast that Danielle barely spoke to her when they reunited in 2014 for Girl Meets World
a situation she found hurtful as she'd invited Danielle to her 2006 wedding and thought they were friends.While Danielle said she didn't have an issue with Maitland at the time
she pointed out they hadn't seen or spoken to each other since the wedding
She also suggested she didn't have the best experience working on Girl Meets World
but made it clear it wasn't anything against Maitland.However
Maitland accused Danielle of being upset at the time over the attention Maitland was getting in the adult entertainment industry
noting she posed for Maxim in 2014.Maitland also accused Danielle
Will and their cohost Rider Strong (Shawn) of being negative on Pod Meets World and hating costar Ben Savage (Cory) and Boy Meets World creator Michael Jacobs (though she later backpedaled and said she meant they just had disagreements).In any case
the podcast cohosts made it clear they did not hate Ben or Michael and that they were simply sharing their experiences from the show.And when Maitland accused Danielle of "trying to go at" her for ratings
Danielle shot this down—claiming it was Maitland who was using this opportunity to get press.While Danielle said she and Maitland don't need to be friends
Fourteen years after Boy Meets World ended, Ben and Danielle reprised their roles of Cory and Topanga on Girl Meets World—a comedy series that followed their daughter Riley (Rowan Blanchard), her friend Maya (Sabrina Carpenter) and their lives at home and school.The show ran on Disney Channel from 2014 to 2017
Danielle described it on her podcast as a "very
"Let’s put it this way," she said on a February 2025 episode of Pod Meets World
"The memories we have of the fun set of Boy Meets World were not the memories or the fun set of Girl Meets World
I felt a lot of different things being on that set."E
News reached out to Disney for comment but did not hear back
The Cast's Estrangement From Ben Savage
but his old pals still hold out hope."Ben is one of the most important people I’ve ever met in my life," Will said in a February 2025 Pod Meets World episode
"and I can’t stand the fact that he won’t speak to us."
Will Friedle's Racially Insensitive Remark to Trina McGee
he saw Trina exit her dressing room in a "big red headscarf" and "attached no cultural significance to that whatsoever."Thinking he was teasing her like he did the rest of the cast
he decided to "make fun of her red hat." "That’s as far as my dumbass privileged mind saw it," Will said
"So right before I walked on for my part
I walked by and went 'love your syrup' and walked onto the set thinking boom
just got her for her hat."Trina told Will the joke wasn't OK
and he was "mortified," noting the moment changed his life."You can’t just throw things out there because you think it’s funny and walk away," he said
"the silence grows and then the whole imagery of it becomes bigger than life and bigger than what it really is."As Trina later added
Danielle Fishel & Trina McGee's Tension
"Trina and I spoke over a month ago and she gracefully accepted my apology."And they talked about how they were pitted against each other
particularly when it came to the rumors surrounding Trina's exit."By the time you came to Girl Meets World
you had had 14 or 15 years of believing we got together to keep you from being in the series finale of Boy Meets World and then the interaction you have with me is very cold," Danielle said on the 2022 episode of Pod Meets World
"How could you not walk away thinking
We will always be in competition.'"After the two talked it out privately
they wished they had just had a conversation sooner."We could have been there for each other the way we’ve been there for each other through multiple hardships over the last several years," she added
is the biggest lesson and the importance of talking and being willing to dig deep for the same purpose
which is growing and becoming better people and doing better."
Danielle Fishel's Tearful Discussion With Creator Michael Jacobs
She saved it."Michael added he "always believed in her" and still does

I want you to know I love you and I forgive you.'"
After Boy Meets World star Maitland Ward got into a heated exchanged with Danielle Fishel on Pod Meets World
Maitland compared her former costar to Mean Girls character Regina George
Maitland Ward feels as though she brought a knife to a gunfight
she debriefed her heated conversation with her former costars—even tossing in a Mean Girls reference
“It just felt uneasy to have people that you called friends—especially in the past, I thought Danielle was my friend—I can see that she did not like me,” Maitland told TooFab in a Feb
24 interview after the podcast episode went live
“and she has harbored not liking me through the years
But Maitland wasn’t only hurt by Danielle through the experience. She also expressed resentment toward Will—who played Eric Matthews in the Michael Jacobs sitcom—for not being fully honest about what her appearance on the podcast would entail
“He presented it to me that it was gonna be fun
and we were just gonna talk it out—not even talk it out
just have conversations about the show and stuff,” Maitland added
“I wasn't expecting such a jarring shift.”
Indeed, while the first hour of the podcast saw the former castmates peacefully discuss their past experiences on the Boy Meets World set, as well as Maitland’s transition into the adult film industry
the tone suddenly changed when Danielle pointedly asked Maitland if she hated her
Rider—who played Shawn Hunter in the series—and Will
all of a sudden she was Topanga and then she switched into Regina George.”
The 44-year-old also reflected on the impetus of her and Danielle’s disagreement, which was whether Danielle had unfriended and, thus, not seen a message from Maitland via Facebook that she had sent in 2013
In response to Danielle claiming on the podcast episode that she probably unfriended her without much thought
well that makes me feel really great that that's how you're coming on to tell me this—basically you hate me more than I even realized.”
Danielle had expressed surprise for being invited to Maitland’s 2006 wedding to husband Terry Baxter
a sentiment that Maitland was also hurt by
“I really genuinely liked her and wanted her to come to the wedding.”
she expressed confusion for how Danielle approached her at the end of the recent episode
“I'm not saying that I'm perfect at all
but I would never have gone at her like that
News has reached out to reps for Danielle regarding Maitland’s latest comments but has not yet heard back
Bobby (pictured second from left) addressed rumors of a falling out with Tan (middle) in January 2024
two months after he announced his exit from Queer Eye after eight seasons
"I want people to know that Tan and I—we will be fine," he told Vanity Fair
It was something personal that had been brewing—and nothing romantic
In March 2024, Tan responded to allegations that he had campaigned to replace Bobby on Queer Eye with his friend Jeremiah Brent
"Netflix and the production companies did a full-on casting
I didn't put my friend up for the job
They ended up getting it because they were the best person for the job," he said on Instagram

which ultimately led to the latter leaving the show in 2001
"I did not have the power to get anyone fired" and that "this was so long ago that any retelling of these stories from anyone is just revisionist history."
A day later, Shannen said at a panel event at MegaCon Orlando
"There is no revisionist history happening in the truth that I know we told."
Shannen passed away in July 2024 after a yearslong battle with cancer

Fans of The Hills will remember that iconic line
delivered by Lauren on the season three premiere
Their feud began when Heidi started dating her now-husband Spencer Pratt
and hit its peak when Lauren accused Heidi and Spencer of starting a rumor that she had made a sex tape with Jason Wahler
Tyrese then opened up about the feud, telling Van Lathan on The Red Pill podcast
"I have yet to talk to The Rock to this day

Taylor and Katy had been in a feud for years, even allegedly inspiring Taylor's song "Bad Blood." The drama, which reportedly started over a backup dancer and competing tours, came to an end after Perry sent Taylor a literal olive branch before her Reputation Tour kickoff
"So I just got to my dressing room and found this actual olive branch," Taylor said in an Instagram video
Sex and the City costars Kim and SJP had dodged feud rumors for years. But they were reignited after Kim decided not to return for a third movie and made comments about her costar that raised eyebrows
"What was your reaction to Kim Cattrall telling Piers Morgan that you were never friends just colleagues?" Andy Cohen asked SJP on a Sept
you and I spoke about it because I was just...I don't know I found it really upsetting because that's
that's not the way I recall our experience."
"So...it's sad but I'm kind of...I don't know
I always think that what ties us together is this singular experience is the thing
It was a professional experience but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives
So I'm hoping that that sort of eclipses anything that's been recently spoken," she continued
"That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with is such a privileged."
And though they didn't film scenes together
Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That

The former Grey's Anatomy star sparked a feud with the series creator in 2008 when she removed her name from the Emmy Awards consideration
The actress stated that her reason for the move was because she wasn't "given the material to warrant a nomination."
Shonda later opened up about Katherine's decision during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah's Next Chapter in 2012

Cardi opened up about the catalyst for the fight with Nicki

The real spark of the fight came when Cardi saw that Nicki had allegedly liked and then unliked a tweet about Cardi's parenting skills
"I was going to make millions off my Bruno Mars tour
and I sacrificed that to stay with my daughter," Cardi continued
So for somebody that don't have a child to like that comment

Soap Opera Digest: Let me begin by saying how relieved I am that Traci made it out of this terrible ordeal alive
Beth Maitland (laughs): I did have some questions when the scripts started coming in
Digest: Did you discover Traci’s fate in the script
or were your concerns alleviated in advance
and then the scripts come and that’s when I learn what’s going on next week
“If I’ve got another date [to tape at the Y&R studio] on the calendar
Digest: As the scripts started rolling in and you got a sense of where the storyline was going
were you pleased that there wasn’t a lot of time where you had to play Traci as in the dark
that she did start to put the pieces together relatively quickly
That’s a hard question to answer because my desire is always for a longer-term storyline
I love the old-fashioned way of telling stories
when it took sometimes months for stories to build up to the giant climax and for little nuggets to be dropped along the way
all of that took a long time to build up to
The shocking part that happens [with the reveal that “Alan”‘ was really Martin] was just a few weeks
so I wish that part had actually been a little prolonged
But the fact that Traci does get to be involved in finding the texts on the phone
getting to talk to Sharon and what happened to her and Phyllis and the kidnapping to start twigging her
Aunt Traci is everybody’s shoulder to cry on
we get to actually remember there’s a lot more to her than that
So I do love that she got to be a part of putting the pieces together
although I love for things to take a while to be revealed
and I love for things to be a gigantic surprise — you know
Digest: I do think that the audience would have had a hard time watching Traci have the wool pulled over her eyes for too long; as much as we know her to want to see the best in people
which I think was proven by how happy they were when Alan first came into her life
I take it very seriously — both personally as Beth and as an actor — that over the decades
I represent a certain percentage of the population
It really matters to me that I bring authenticity to the playing of that
a role that is really unique in all of daytime
and am constantly flattered and appreciate that viewers often reach out and tell me that it matters to them too
I was really worried when this went south with Martin being the evil twin
who are innocent bystanders in all of this
I am so grateful and appreciative that there are so many people that
continue to really relate to Traci and tell me personally that they feel seen through me
so I work very hard to make sure that that stays the root of it all
I always joke that Traci is sort of like a non-cussing version of myself
I was nothing like Traci at the beginning and now I am Traci
Digest: Traci’s heartbreak over her happy ending slipping through her fingers is palpable
What was it like to play out those emotional scenes
I cry if things don’t go well in the Starbucks line
especially one that plays a character like Traci
we keep our toolbox kind of close under the surface
this wouldn’t happen; I wouldn’t cry about everything in public
So I keep those emotions very close to the surface
a factor is the pace at which we work nowadays
because we shoot five episodes in four days
The workload is intense and tremendous and usually
“If you get partway through a scene and you don’t like how it’s going
you kind of have to fall down or they won’t stop
It’ll end up on TV!” For scenes that involve that kind of emotion
it’s a mechanism of doing this for a long period of time that [my emotions] are right there under the surface
so it’s easier for me than one might think
A character like Nick Newman doesn’t need to cry all the time
Nick] would have a very different answer to that question
But because it’s our Traci and because it’s me playing her
there was a storyline involving the death of Traci’s daughter
now that’s over.” There are a lot of funny
in being able to produce emotion when it’s required
especially looking across the table or across the couch at Peter Bergman [Jack]
He’s like the real brother I never had in real life
and this matters to him — the work matters so much
there is no place I would rather be than working with those two actors
we are all so connected that all we have to do is just look up at each other and the tears are there
Then it just becomes about learning your lines and making sure that you don’t fall down and it was very fun to just let go
to just let it out and see where it takes you
Digest: In your view, what kind of imprint does this whole trauma leave on Traci
there has been so much trauma and tragedy in her life that what we definitely know about our Traci is that she is a survivor
no matter what self-recrimination or doubts she may have
[feeling] that she should have seen warning signs or seen this coming
It is a very odd parallel to my life that oddly
on the other side of a lot of personal tragedy
it actually makes a character much more appealing
and more attractive to others — that even in the face of the unthinkable
the fact that you can find a way to go on makes you a superhero
Is there anything else you want to say before I let you go
Maitland: The only thing is that I always want the audience to know how much they inform what we do
and I am so grateful that we have the most amazing viewers who have watched since the first day
or for 30 years or some other significant amount of time
Only in daytime do we have fans who have decades invested in our storytelling
They treat us and think of us as part of their family because we’re in their living room every day
and I want them to know how much every actor on the show appreciates you
how much it means to us that you’re there for us
Our viewers are the only reason we’re still on television and I just want to appreciate and acknowledge how much a part of our journey they are
Traci has some major healing to do after discovering that she was on the verge of marrying her beloved Alan’s evil twin

MAITLAND, Fla. – Work is set to begin by early 2026 to transition Maitland’s public library from its current and quaint home near Lake Lily to a two-story
20,000-square-foot facility right up the road
The Maitland City Council unanimously voted Wednesday to approve designs for the new facility that’s set to be constructed inside Quinn Strong Park at the corner of Maitland and Packwood avenues
or about a block north of the library’s current location
Construction planning is said to continue throughout the year
building on similar efforts which since 2020 have included the council’s selection of Quinn Strong Park as the best location for a new library — given its closeness to the current library
as well as to the Art & History Museums of Maitland — as well as an online survey and multiple public meetings held in 2023 to gather ideas from residents
The council has worked with HBM Architecture and Interior Design
going with what it describes as a mid-century modern architectural design which complements existing structures around Maitland
[EXCLUSIVE: Become a News 6 Insider (it’s FREE) | PINIT! Share your photos]
The Maitland Library Association was created in 1907 to build the current library on South Maitland Avenue
incorporating the collection that began in 1896 when Clara Dommerich donated 360 books which were first kept in the living room of a local teacher before being relocated to an empty storefront on Horatio Avenue
the library collection exceeds 96,000 items
including nearly 29,000 downloadable books and audio books
The public facility is popular with its weekly activities for youth and adults
Though expansions have since occurred in 1959, 1972 and 1989, the council says it’s coming to grips with a building that while beloved is “short on space for many current library activities and has no extra property for additional building enlargements,” the city’s social media post states
adding a study in 2017 found that necessary construction improvements would only reduce the current building’s interior space

couldn’t be more thrilled to still be a part of the cast as the show marks 52 years on the air on March 26
walking into that building year after year
has just reinforced for me that acting has saved my life during the most difficult
traumatic times one can imagine happening to a person,” Maitland reflects
“Being an actor has gotten me through those things
and I feel privileged at my age to still have a job and to still be showing up for work doing something I feel meant to do
I walk into that building and I feel complete.”
While she’s been part of a slew of stories in her 40-plus years as Traci, there are a few that stand out for Maitland. “There are favorite things, for example, like the episodes that we used to shoot in the olden days,” she says. “It delights me to think back to the rock concerts in the summer with Danny [Romalotti, Michael Damian] and Gina [Roma
There were amazing smoke and special effects
and we would pre-record at the real Capitol Records like we were huge stars
Every tale featuring Traci hasn’t been lighthearted
and there’s one from 2009 that struck a particularly poignant note
most emotional and devastating storyline was perhaps the loss of Traci’s daughter
Not only was Colleen brain dead and they brought her in and put her on life support
but then it was revealed she was an organ donor
and Traci had to start making choices about pulling the plug and delivering her organs
That story was so demanding and such a highlight of my career
It wasn’t easy and it wasn’t happy
but it was such a commitment to the job of acting and the purpose of telling that story.”
Maitland cherishes the fact that she holds a special place in the hearts of soap viewers
who find Traci more accessible than other characters in Genoa City
glamorous character on a daytime drama,” she points out
“I sort of represent the everyday person who gets to live through Traci in a way that no other character provides
it’s about what attracted fans and viewers to Traci in the first place
It wasn’t always that it was a weight story that attracted them
It was that everyone has things they’re insecure about
everyone has things they don’t like about themselves — their hair is too curly
She’s relatable in a way that no other character on our show is relatable
She admits her appreciation for Traci’s role in the daytime landscape came with time. “It was at first a little uncomfortable, and now I’m just so proud that I get to be that voice,” Maitland explains. “It’s not only a groundbreaking compliment to [creator] Bill Bell to come up with a character like that and commit to it, it also speaks to our current commander in chief, to Josh Griffith and his writing staff
I haven’t been under contract on the show in
and to still have major storylines from time to time — I’ve been on the show more in the last five or six years than I was in the 10 years prior — where most people are at retirement age
speaks to their understanding that this character means something to their viewers
In addition to her professional accomplishments
Maitland can’t help but focus on the personal connections she’s made through the years
“We talk about it being a family all the time
and people probably roll their eyes and think
‘How can that be?’ But I’m telling you
These people are a giant part of my life and influenced me every day
Growing up together and being a part of each other’s lives is so meaningful
and to have peers and colleagues that I cherish and consider family is also one of the greatest gifts I can imagine.”
As is counting herself an ongoing cast member of the legendary soap
and I was given a three-month contract,” she marvels
“But the fact that they keep investing in this character
that they keep returning to this really unique person being an important part of the dynamic in Genoa City is so flattering
I could not be more grateful and blessed to
'We just thought it would be a hell of a cliffhanger to end the season on.”

The Calm Before The Storm: Beth Maitland (Traci) on the Y&R set with leading man Christopher Cousins (Alan) last year
it’s just a matter of time before poor Traci puts together the pieces and realizes that her fiancé Alan is the mastermind behind Phyllis and Sharon’s kidnapping
admitted in a new interview that she’d been anticipating an implosion in her character’s picture-perfect relationship from the moment it started
“I was absolutely not surprised,” Maitland told TV Insider
you’re relegated to go upstairs to wash your hair and never come back.”
Despite the fact that her character’s dream relationship is about to take a nosedive
Maitland voiced her confidence that Traci will be fine
“The good news is that we start from the perspective that Traci already has a life she loves,” noted Maitland
and she has a career that she also loves.”
the many loyal Traci fans in the audience are bracing themselves to see the beloved character’s heart break once again
“There’s a huge fan base of women of a certain age
and we’re disappointing those people somewhat.”
it wasn’t hard to find the silver lining in the scenario
which is that the plot twist gave her something super-juicy to play
“I long for something to do!” the Daytime Emmy-winner admitted
The actress gave a preview of what will go down after a chat with Sharon prompts Traci to begin connecting the messages on Alan’s phone with Phyllis and Sharon’s abduction
“This is the first time that she is suspicious of him,” revealed Maitland
Traci is starting to see some warning signs.”
As Traci’s suspicions about her lover mount
absolute surprise of happiness being completely yanked out from under her
it also indicates that there are threats that she feels responsible for
Blaming herself for failing to see Alan’s true colors just makes Traci all the more determined “to put a stop to this and find out what the truth is,” declared the actress
Maitland noted how grateful she was to play such an instrumental role in this front-burner plot
“It’s definitely a generous story gift to Traci to be able to be a part of unraveling all of this,” she smiled
How do you feel about Alan turning out to be a nightmare for Traci

it’s easy to develop student mentorship teams
She is currently doing research on her thesis
where she looks at a type of therapy called behavioral activation that is highly efficacious for treating depressive symptoms
Truitt is looking at it as an intervention for LGBTQIA+ young adults who experience loneliness and depression
She is also looking to see if social environment impacts how effective that therapy is
she decided that her direct mentor would be one the most important things to consider
“When you’re applying to a Ph.D
you are typically applying to work with a specific person,” Truitt said
“I joke that the application process for Ph.D.s is if like children had to send out applications to be adopted.”
a professor at Bowling Green State University in Ohio at the time
She wanted to see if they would get along as people as well
“We got along great from the start,” Truitt said
“It was important for me to get a sense of the work he was doing and the speed of his research
I wanted someone who was still early in their career as well
His area of expertise was very close to what my interests were
and he just seemed like a really cool person to work with.”
Maitland’s research is focused on the bi-directional relationship between loneliness and one’s mental and physical health
Maitland originally started as a psychotherapy researcher that specifically looked into a form of therapy that is characterized by an intense therapist-client relationship
where therapists are encouraged to be themselves as much as possible
the relationship becomes one of the closest the client has
but it is constrained to the therapy context with the explicit goal of helping the client
He looked into how that relationship predicted therapy outcomes and why those outcomes occurred
His research eventually led him to become interested in the formation and consequences of relationships
“I think we can create specific types of interactions that foster connection,” Maitland said
“When you look at loneliness research
But they don’t look at how specific behaviors during interactions impact us
and that is really the part that I am interested in.”
Maitland’s research was featured in The New York Times Magazine earlier this year
where he assembled a group of self-identified lonely people to participate in some relationship-building exercises
Maitland said Truitt had a lot of questions for him when they first met
putting a lot of time and effort into understanding the type of persona and mentor he is
“It’s actually a funny story,” Maitland said
“My first interaction with Jennifer was when she accidentally sent me an email that was supposed to be for a different researcher she was applying to work with as well
I was very impressed with her experiences at this stage in her career and extended an offer for her to work with me
She then spent a long time interviewing me before accepting the offer.”
When the opportunity for Maitland’s wife

Together they figured out the logistics for their research and her Ph.D
it’s typically so you can work with a very specific person,” Truitt said
“I wouldn’t have moved across the country to work with Daniel the first time if he wasn’t the person I wanted as mentor
He is a wonderful person who is consistent with his values
UMKC also emphasizes working with communities that I am passionate about which made it a lot easier to make that transition.”
Maitland was extremely pleased with her decision
“I was hoping she would follow me to UMKC,” Maitland said
it was very exciting and rewarding to me as a mentor.”
Maitland is extremely proud of Truitt and how far she has come in her career
“I am constantly proud of Jennifer," Maitland said
"I am very happy with how far she has come and her constant growth
Not only did she take on a very ambitious research project
which isn’t common for any first-year graduate student
I can’t wait to grow along with her.”
Truitt was honored as one of the 10 Generation Z changemakers by the Pink with Purpose Project.
national initiative presented by the partnership between The Jed Foundation and Victoria’s Secret Pink
It recognizes and supports young individuals pursing projects that strengthen communities and promote positive mental health
Truitt deeply values her mentorship with Maitland
“Daniel’s mentorship is tremendously important to me,” Truitt said
“People in mentor roles sometimes don’t know how to deal with people with unpleasant things
I really value how he treats his students like adults
He is also really good at giving and receiving feedback
I’ve never ended a conversation without him asking if he can help me and I know he genuinely means it.”
Truitt is enjoying her time at UMKC as a transfer student
meeting new friends and getting to see Kansas City
She stated that one of the reasons why she was interested in transferring
was the potential Carnegie Research 1 or R1 designation UMKC is on track to receive
“The fact that UMKC is making the push for being R1 made my decision to transfer a lot easier
on top of Daniel’s mentorship,” Truitt said
“I plan to go down the academia route for my career and I knew it would provide me with an environment to do the level of work I am interested in without constantly worrying about funding
There are also just more opportunities at an R1 institution
and I am very excited for the future of research at UMKC.”
Maitland also shares similar sentiments on R1
UMKC receiving R1 means everything,” he said
“That’s a huge part in why I was excited to join UMKC
It comes with additional resources and prestige
It allows for you to reach levels of your career you can’t otherwise
It also comes with and understanding of expectations and standards that make a big difference in the scientific community.”

When police approached the blue Lamborghini SUV
they noticed the tires were halfway buried in the gravel on the tracks from being spun repeatedly and there was damage to the bumper
the SUV had recently fled from a traffic stop initiated by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office
Just minutes before spotting the vehicle’s lights down the tracks
Maitland dispatch had informed officers of the fleeing vehicle
Officers approached the passenger side of the vehicle where they spoke to the passenger and Jordan
Officers say they could smell alcohol coming from the vehicle
there was a train traveling toward the area and was approximately 10 minutes away before police ordered Jordan and the passenger to exit the vehicle
Dispatch was also able to contact SunRail to alert about a vehicle on the tracks
Jordan said he was coming from a few venues in Winter Park and Casselberry and the last place he visited was Rachel’s Gentleman’s Club

During Maitland Ward’s appearance on Pod Meets World
the Boy Meets World podcast hosted by Danielle Fishel
she and Danielle rehashed their decades-long feud
Maitland Ward and Danielle Fishel meet the root of their feud
On the latest episode of Pod Meets World—the Boy Meets World podcast Danielle (Topanga Lawrence) hosts with Will Friedle (Eric Matthews) and Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter)—Maitland (Rachel McGuire) and Danielle rehashed their longstanding beef
Maitland only participated in off-camera cast reunions.)
“I think that you hate me because you wouldn’t speak to me when we would go to Girl Meets World and everything,” Maitland explained
But Maitland didn’t budge and accused Danielle of unfriending her on Facebook
“I am not a Facebook person,” Danielle insisted, detailing that she tried to rectify the rift in 2022, when Will informed her that Maitland had sent her a message years prior. “I then went into my Facebook page
Didn’t remember when we were friends on Facebook or when we were no longer friends on Facebook
I found your message in the graveyard of messages—and I then felt very bad.”
Danielle—who shares sons Adler, 5, and Keaton, 3, with husband Jensen Karp—detailed that Maitland had sent her a message congratulating her on Girl Meets World and her 2013 engagement to her now-ex husband Tim Belusko
Danielle also went on to accuse Maitland of attempting to stir up drama for Pod Meets World
you did send me a really nice message,’” Danielle explained
Maitland defended her remark, saying she had no idea that her podcast appearance would take years to come to fruition. She also detailed inviting Danielle to her own wedding in 2006, before receiving the cold shoulder years later on the Girl Meets World set
“You had an attitude about it,” Maitland explained
“I know there was some beef between us because I didn’t get it
but definitely there was some sort of weirdness there.”
Danielle detailed that the set of Girl Meets World was stressful and she felt “ostracized” on it
The 43-year-old apologized that her attitude about the vibe on set felt directed at Maitland
you didn’t like the fact that I was getting a lot of attention at that time and going off in my own space and taking away that attention.”
Maitland’s attention comments prompted some heated back-and-forth until Maitland explained it was what she had postulated of Danielle’s feelings at the time
“I’m sorry that you thought it was about you
You and I have totally different and both perfectly valid experiences.”
After some more back and forth about the Pod Meets World hosts’ relationships with Ben and Boy Meets World creator Michael Jacobs
you’re trying to go at me now because of the ratings and because people will be interested.”
I’m not the one who wanted to go for ratings.”
Danielle and Maitland weren’t exactly on the same page when the latter’s appearance came to an end
but they maintained a friendly enough goodbye
“It was nice to reminisce,” Danielle said during Maitland’s send off
To see where every Boy Meets World star has landed
Savage played Cory Matthews on Boy Meets World
which anchored ABC's TGIF lineup from 1993 to 2000
He went on to graduate from Stanford in 2004 with a degree in political science and continued to pop up on TV (Party of Five, Chuck) and the occasional indie film before reuniting with TV sweetheart Danielle Fishel to reprise their roles on the 2014 Disney Channel spin-off Girl Meets World
Savage unsuccessfully sought a seat on the West Hollywood City Council in 2022 and Congress in 2024
She met first husband Tim Belusko at school, and they were married for two years before quietly divorcing in 2016. She wed Drop the Mic host Jensen Karp in 2018
with former co-stars Savage (who congratulated his "favorite TV wife" on her engagement) and Will Friedle in attendance

talking about the unexpected direction her acting career had taken
You're doing this great artistic piece
And the move has continued to work for her

The first of two Morgan Matthews, Nicksay played Cory and Eric's little sister from 1993 to 1995—then scored a role in the Michelle Pfeiffer-Robert Redford romantic drama Up Close and Personal
the actress guest-starred on a few TV shows
and later returned as Morgan for the 2017 finale of Girl Meets World
She has been going by Lily Gibson since marrying songwriter Dave Gibson in 2015

Scott became the consummate sweet 'n' funny guy—with the occasional snide wise-ass and morose midlife-crisis-having married guy thrown in for good measure
His greatest hits include the intense HBO drama Tell Me You Love Me; the hit comedy Step Brothers; Starz' beloved Party Down (back for a fresh season 13 years after it was canceled); the even more beloved Parks and Recreation; the sporadic and hilarious The Greatest Event in Television History on Adult Swim; Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later; The Good Place and Big Little Lies
He earned his first Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for his turn as a melancholy widower—or is he?—in Apple TV+'s unhinged-workplace drama Severance
In real life Scott has two kids with Naomi Sablan
"They only brought him in because Friends became a hit," Strong recalled to Vanity Fair in 2011 of leather jacket-wearing, motorcycle-riding, cool teacher Jonathan Turner, played by Quinn. "And ABC was like, 'We need twentysomethings on every show. Including on this kids' show that's only watched by teenagers.'"
However, Shawn was devastated when Mr. Turner was in a motorcycle crash at the end of season four—which Turner recovered from off-camera and was never seen again until he resurfaced on Girl Meets World, having married a nurse he met in the hospital after the accident.
In the meantime, Quinn joined the drama on Melrose Place for a four-year stint, was on Pretty Little Liars in 2012, and popped up on Feud: Betty and Joan in 2017.
He's been married to Margaret Quinn since 1985 and they have two children.

BBC Sport football news reporterPublished10 April 202552 CommentsAinsley Maitland-Niles can count stars such as Bukayo Saka
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Phil Foden among his former team-mates but it is young Lyon sensation Rayan Cherki the ex-Arsenal man describes as the "best natural talent" he has ever seen
Maitland-Niles and Cherki are part of a resurgent Lyon outfit who face Manchester United in the quarter-final of the Europa League at the Groupama Stadium on Thursday (20:00 BST)
Lyon have ex-Premier League players in former Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette and ex-United midfielder Nemanja Matic
plus World Cup winners in France international Corentin Tolisso and Argentina defender Nicolas Tagliafico
"He is the best natural talent I've ever seen," he tells BBC Sport
Cherki has nine goals and 18 assists in 36 games this season across all competitions but individual moments
like his two mazy dribbles to set up Malick Fofana goals against Rangers or his wonderful vision to pick out striker Georges Mikautadze against PSG have made the headlines
assists and dragging us up the pitch by taking people on and nutmegging them - he is a genius," adds Maitland-Niles
Only three players from Europe's top five leagues - Bruno Fernandes (129)
Raphinha (122) and Joshua Kimmich (113) - have created more than Cherki's 103 chances in all competitions this season
And he ranks second in Ligue 1 for completed dribbles with 74
behind Paris St-Germain's Desire Doue with 79
There are also training videos of Cherki with France Under-21s
where he displays equal ability to control and volley a ball with both feet
"He is now working for the team off the ball and has gone to another level this season."
Maitland-Niles also talks about why Arsenal are too reliant on Saka
moving to France and why Lyon will show Manchester United "respect"
Maitland-Niles has been a near ever-present for Lyon and played 34 matches in all competitions this season
After becoming the second youngest Arsenal player to appear in the Champions League
Maitland-Niles thought he would be at his boyhood club his entire life
The defender had been in the Arsenal academy since the age of six and grew up supporting the club but opted to leave on a free transfer to Lyon in 2023
"Life has obviously taken a different turn," he says
"I thought I'd have been in the Premier League my whole career and things obviously didn't go to plan with Arsenal
"But I'm thankful to the club and they didn't put any blockages when it came to leaving
But why not join another Premier League club
He says: "I told my agent not to tell me which clubs were interested but just the ones with firm offers
"Lyon were the first to come in and it was such a big club showing their trust and belief in me
It was hard to turn down and it was a good time to try something different
I was at a point where I needed to be shown a lot of love and thought it was a good fit for me
I am happy with where I am at this point in time
I am very happy here and enjoying every moment
"I am still that same player as I was at Arsenal but now with a stronger mindset and more consistency and I know what it takes to succeed."
Maitland-Niles won the FA Cup with Arsenal in 2020
A debut under legendary manager Arsene Wenger
a Europa League final start under Unai Emery in 2019
winning the FA Cup with Mikel Arteta in 2020 and winning five England caps all rank among the major landmarks in Maitland-Niles' journey
I watch most of our games and I lived a boyhood dream by winning an FA Cup final at Wembley for the club
who he regards as a "tactical genius in Pep Guardiola's mould"
"[Arteta] really studied how Pep took football to new heights as one of the best managers in the world," he says
"He really studied how to break down teams and be most effective in games
"Arsenal are showing that at this point
not coming close enough to win the league but you can see they are making big improvements by going close two years in a row."
the defender adds: "I wouldn't say there was anything special there
I thought he was a tactical genius but it was an average player-manager relationship
Maitland-Niles also admits it is "frustrating" the club has not followed up that FA Cup success but gives his backing to Arteta
while adding star attacker Saka needs support
"I think they now rely on him a bit too much and you can't expect so much from such a young player," he says
"He hasn't even hit his prime yet
But I think he is the driving force of the team and they miss a bit of attacking threat when he is not playing
"Bukayo has become one of the world's best wingers
knows how to kill off a game and he can pick his moment in a genius way."
is having his breakthrough this season and could be one option to help Saka
he is absolutely incredible and there is no fear in the kid," continues Maitland-Niles
"He is just going at people and trying to make things happen
You can see he is trying to become a leader very early in that team
He is trying to cement his place which is difficult as he plays in the same positions as [Martin] Odegaard and Saka
"But he has got the ability to do so as well
He has the world at his feet and he just needs to take his chance."
Another landmark for Maitland-Niles was winning the Conference League under Mourinho during a successful six-month loan stint at Roma
"He is a really funny guy," says Maitland-Niles
"The stories Jose gave us about his previous dressing rooms and how he has won cup finals and loads of different leagues - that is an experience you can take something from
"There are a lot of players that would say they love him or hate him
But he is a great guy and what you see is what you get."
Maitland-Niles achieved European success in the Conference League for Jose Mourinho's Roma in 2022
who is becoming one of the leaders at Lyon
has warned Thursday's Europa League opponents Manchester United that "people don't realise how big Lyon are"
"We are a historically big club," he adds
"Considering where we were last season
it has been a great year but we need to be addicted to winning
push for more and aim for the Champions League."
Maitland-Niles also says Lyon will try to show Ruben Amorim's United side "respect but just not too much respect"
He adds: "They are not having the greatest season but have players like Bruno (Fernandes) and (Christian) Eriksen can run over you if you show too much respect
we'll give it our all and believe we can win."
returning to England for the second leg will also prove exciting

Trina McGee shared her thoughts on the reignited feud between her former Boy Meets World costars Danielle Fishel and Maitland Ward
Trina McGee is picking a side
and she made it very clear where she stands
The actress—who also appeared on the spinoff Girl Meets World—went on to cryptically muse about what it means to stand up for the people you believe in.
"Supporting people doesn’t always mean their character will align with yours," Trina said. "Sometimes, the ones you uplift only care about their own agenda. They start unnecessary drama, not for truth, but for attention—media chasers, energy usurpers. Instead of riding with you, they’d rather take the plane down just to make themselves look like the hero in the wreckage."
"They lie on you when you’re at your lowest, just for the scent of a dollar," she added. "It’s a hard lesson, but one I’ve learned well. And through it, I’ve grown. Now, I look deeper at the purpose behind my support. Healing, not chaos. Elevation, not destruction."
Trina finished by saying, "Real ones move with integrity. The rest expose themselves."
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Trina Colette McGee (@trinamcgeeofficial)
Danielle took to the comments section of her former costar's post to thank her for such a public show of support
and we've come out the other side so much better because of it
Trina's response came one day after Danielle and Maitland's back-and-forth over their longstanding beef became public
Maitland accused her former costar of refusing to speak with her around the time Girl Meets World premiered in 2014 and unfriending her on Facebook
you did send me a really nice message,’” Danielle recalled after hearing that Maitland had messaged her to congratulate her on the spinoff
The two actresses went back and forth over several other details before Danielle admitted that they simply see things differently
"You and I have totally different and both perfectly valid experiences," she said
Keep reading to see where more Boy Meets World stars landed..
At one point, Fishel asked Ward point-blank if she “hates” the rest of the cast, including Will Friedle, Fishel’s cohost on the pod. Ward replied that she doesn’t. Instead, she said to Fishel, “I think that you hate me, because you wouldn’t speak to me on Girl Meets World
the conversation turned into a full-blown argument
James Sorensen/Getty ImagesIn 2013, for example, Ward sent Fishel a congratulatory message on Facebook for her engagement
but realized that she and Fishel were no longer Facebook friends
Fishel explained that she rarely uses the platform
when she asked Friedle to send her Ward’s number so that she could apologize
Fishel claimed Ward told Friedle that she would save the conversation for the podcast
But the argument went deeper than Facebook
Here’s the Maitland Ward and Boy Meets World cast feud
Ward said Fishel had “an attitude” toward her on the set of Girl Meets World
“I didn’t know if you thought I was trying to steal attention.… I was genuinely confused why we wouldn’t be good.” She continued
“You didn’t like the fact that I was getting a lot of attention at that time and going off in my own space and taking away that attention.” Fishel pointed out that she was on the cover of Maxim in 2014
“I think she’s more straight-laced about things
and I think she didn’t like that I was doing a lot of sexy things and getting a lot of attention for it
I think that was kind of a competition for us.”
“A lot of people said Danielle would hate me because I was the girl coming in
set that up.” Ward said producers would tell her
she’s gonna hate you because you’re the new girl and you’re tall and like
After Trina McGree announced her pregnancy at age 54 in 2024, Ward speculated that it was a “publicity stunt.” Speaking to TMZ
I came on just after she had had the last baby.” She continued
But I read the post and stuff.… I hope that’s not a publicity stunt.”
Ward also claimed there was tension because of Fishel and Friedle’s relationship with Ben Savage
“I think there’s a divide too because you hate Ben and you guys hate Michael,” she said
“Ben is one of the most important people I’ve ever met in my life
and I can’t stand the fact that he won’t speak to us
And that’s what it is: He won’t speak to us,” Friedle said
“He just kind of disappeared from our lives.”
At the end of the podcast episode, Fishel reiterated that she does not hate Ward. But she did conclude, “Similarly to the way she decided when Girl Meets World and all that stuff was in the press, that that was an opportunity for her to make a name for herself in cosplay play and in role-playing, she felt like this was an opportunity for her to get press by having conflict, which I am just not your girl to do that.”
