General Hospital Fans Really Want Martin To Leave With Drew

General Hospital is currently at a very exciting point, with numerous big plot developments unfolding. Among these, Martin Grey has emerged as a significant figure on the show, drawing comparisons to characters like Drew Cain. Interestingly, fans are now expressing a strong desire for Martin to leave alongside Drew.

This sentiment gained momentum following the latest developments involving Martin. While Drew’s negative reputation has been established for quite some time, Martin Grey has recently joined the list of characters that many fans find hard to tolerate. A recent debate among fans questioned whether Martin is as cunning as Drew, and the October 28, 2025 episode only served to fuel the frustration.

In that episode, Martin is seen preparing to manipulate Ronnie. His plan involves convincing Ronnie to sell the house through deceptive means, showcasing his scheming nature. This storyline prompted a wave of discussions on social media, with many fans voicing their wish for Martin to exit the show alongside Drew.

One fan ignited the debate on the General Hospital Fans Official Facebook page, posting, “I need Drew gone and he needs to take Martin with him to DC. Bye.” This comment resonated with many, sparking a variety of responses.

“They are both dishonest! No one would miss them if they moved to Washington!” one user replied.

Another fan added, “How many times do you all have to have people say that?”

Others chimed in with remarks like, “Yes, agreed!! They are both scum!” and “From your lips to the writer’s ears.”

The collective reactions clearly indicate that fans are fed up with both Drew and Martin. Drew’s months of evil scheming have made him one of the most hated characters General Hospital has seen in recent years, and Martin’s recent actions seem to have placed him in the same disliked category.

As the story progresses, upcoming episodes of General Hospital will further explore Martin’s diabolical plans. It remains to be seen whether the show’s writers will ultimately have Martin exit the canvas, potentially satisfying fans who want both him and Drew gone.

“Please improve your batting or else it is over for you” – Twitter reacts to Arshdeep Singh’s omission in AUS vs IND 2025 1st T20I

Team India speedster Arshdeep Singh has once again found himself on the bench, as he has not been named in the playing XI for the first T20I against Australia at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Wednesday, October 29.

The left-arm bowler was also not part of the first-choice playing XI during the 2025 Asia Cup, where the Men in Blue preferred extra spin and batting depth. Despite being India’s leading wicket-taker in the T20I format, Arshdeep has played only sporadically since the five-match home series against England earlier this year.

In 2025, Arshdeep has featured in just five matches, picking up six wickets at an average of 29.17 and an economy rate of 8.90. He was last seen during the three-match ODI series against Australia, playing in the first two matches. However, the pacer struggled with cramps during the second ODI at the Adelaide Oval and was subsequently sidelined for the third ODI in Sydney.

Fans have expressed their displeasure on social media over the team management’s ongoing trend of keeping Arshdeep Singh on the bench, especially given that the pace and bounce-friendly conditions in Australia suit his style of bowling.

Notably, Arshdeep Singh has an impressive record on Australian soil, having picked 10 wickets in six T20I matches. He was among India’s first-choice bowlers during Jasprit Bumrah’s absence in the 2022 T20 World Cup, which was also held in Australia. During that tournament, he emerged as one of the team’s key performers, picking 10 wickets in six matches at an average of 15.60 and an economy rate of 7.80.

While Arshdeep has progressed steadily since then, it appears that team management currently does not have him included in their plans from a combination perspective.

In the first T20I of the series, Team India have been put into bat first by Australia captain Mitchell Marsh. At the time of writing, openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill are ready to face the opening over.

Newly Revealed Action-RPG Loulan: The Cursed Sand Looks Sick

I love an action RPG. Though I’m really bad at math, following the call of “number go up” while also having my reflexes tested is a blast. Unfortunately, games like *Diablo IV* and *Path of Exile 2* have online components that I can’t always keep up with.

Fortunately, an upcoming game looks like it will capture some high fantasy action RPG goodness without requiring me to stay connected to an online service or rally a bunch of friends. *Loulan: The Cursed Sand*, from developer ChillyRoom, just got a reveal trailer today, showcasing some epic combat and gorgeous environment design—all from a satisfying isometric camera perspective.

No release date was provided, but the game will arrive on both PC and PS5 when it launches. Check out the trailer here: Sick, right?

There were a few moments I wanted to highlight in case they didn’t catch your eye. First, there’s this amazing moment where the player character grabs a weapon from the enemy—in this case, a massive boulder—and wields it against them. This demonstrates a cool level of interactivity that I’m hoping there’s more of throughout the game.

I’m also digging how blocking incoming attacks seems to be a key feature. I like having math involved in my combat, but I don’t want to rely solely on numerical stats to defend myself.

Also, check out this… uh, I’m not quite sure what it is, but it’s definitely an example of some awesome enemy design!

Netflix Update Is Great for Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth Movie but Not Knives Out 3

Following the theatrical success of *KPop Demon Hunters*’ sing-along version, Netflix and AMC Theatres are set to continue their collaboration by bringing more of the streamer’s original movies to cinemas.

In addition to the upcoming **Stranger Things** series finale, Netflix is reportedly planning a theatrical release for David Fincher’s *The Adventures of Cliff Booth*, with a much larger rollout than usual.

According to Variety, theatrical plans for Greta Gerwig’s *Narnia* movie and Fincher’s Brad Pitt-led spin-off of Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 dramedy have yet to be finalized. Both films are slated to debut in 2026. Besides its previously announced two-week exclusive IMAX run, there’s a chance that Gerwig’s highly anticipated fantasy movie might also be released on more theater screens beyond IMAX.

### Why Won’t Netflix’s *Knives Out 3* Receive a Wider Theatrical Release?

Despite Netflix’s new partnership with AMC, not all upcoming major Netflix movies will benefit from this deal. Variety confirmed that Rian Johnson’s *Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery* will not receive a wider theatrical release “because plans couldn’t come together for a larger rollout.”

However, the Daniel Craig-led *Knives Out 3* is still scheduled to open in select theaters on November 26 to ensure it qualifies for awards season consideration.

*Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery* is once again written and directed by Rian Johnson. For his work on 2022’s *Glass Onion*, Johnson earned an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Joining Daniel Craig is a brand new ensemble cast featuring Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church.
