Hollyoaks is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Channel 4 is planning to make this a big occasion, similar to the 20th and 25th anniversaries.

The Conjuring series has returned for a supposedly final film. The Warrens’ final case serves as the inspiration for The Conjuring: Last Rites.

Soon, a spunky teenage girl named Pearl West (voiced […]
