‘Goosebumps’ Writers Chose Sides in Margot, Lucas and Isaiah’s Love Triangle on November 19, 2023 at 5:00 pm Us Weekly

Goosebumps viewers have so many thoughts on the show’s central love triangle — and so do the writers.
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, executive producers Hilary Winston, Rob Letterman and Nick Stoller offered a glimpse into how the series’ writers tackled Margot’s (Isa Briones) individual connections with Lucas (Will Price) and Isaiah (Zack Morris).
“We had Team Lucas and we had Team Isaiah for sure,” Letterman revealed. “I don’t remember [which relationship had the most support], but I do remember there were sides. There were definitely sides.”
Goosebumps — which is based on R.L. Stine’s book series — follows a group of teenagers who form a friendship while trying to stop supernatural forces from taking over their town. Margot’s chemistry with Lucas was evident from the first episode of the show, but her friendship with Isaiah had its ups and downs before Isaiah admitted to himself that he had feelings for Margot.
As Margot and Lucas’ relationship developed, their differing plans for the future pulled them apart. Lucas, who was still worried that evil forces could come back to haunt them, wanted to remain in town. Margot, meanwhile, was considering a move to Seattle before the season finale caused a major shift.
Following Margot and Lucas’ split, Isaiah took the opportunity to tell Margot how he felt, which she reciprocated. Before Margot could have an actual conversation with Isaiah or Lucas, however, Isaiah got shot (and was subsequently resurrected).

As a writer — and fan of the show — Winston has some ideas about where Margot’s love life should go in a potential season 2.
“I love the love triangle stuff. Margot has to play out her feelings for Isaiah and see if it’s there. My guess is — having just lived a life as a teenage girl who dated boys — that maybe it’s not what she thinks it is,” Winston told Us. “But she needs to go down that road and then hopefully end up with Lucas.”
While Us is still holding out hope for Margot and Lucas to end up together, the season finale introduced plenty of questions that didn’t just focus on the romantic pairings. Viewers still need answers about the circumstances surrounding Isaiah’s almost-death, which was halted by Margot bringing him back to life with a spell from Kanduu’s book.
“We always love the idea of somebody dying but being brought back. There is really this choice that Margot has to make [in that moment]. She knows it’s not the right thing to do,” Winston teased. “[It’s a case of] be careful what you wish for. She really wants this. But then this act of love and also guilt for being with Lucas allows Kanduu to piggyback and enter into Mr. Bratt for the first time.”

Isaiah’s fate was a major discussion in the writers’ room, but when it was time to tell Morris about his character’s journey, Letterman accidentally left out the part about Isaiah being brought back to life.
“We pitched it to Zack as like, ‘This is going to be amazing. It’ll be memorable.’ And then two days later, I got a text from Isa saying, ‘Hey, I think you better call Zack, because he’s actually spinning out. He’s really spinning out about getting killed on the show,’” Letterman told Us. “So, yes, I had to call Zack and be like, ‘No, you don’t understand. It’s all going to work out. It’s going to be great.’”
The producers — who are still awaiting word on renewal — aren’t in a rush to lock down their vision for season 2 just yet. While speaking with Us, though, Letterman discussed some of the successful aspects of the first season, including the group’s unique approach to telling the story.
“It was a very ambitious idea. But it was so refreshing. We’ve always thought, ‘OK, we’re going to do five origin stories, and then they come together midway to figure out what’s happening to them,’” he explained. “That was always sort of the big plan. It did make for these mini movies each episode. Weirdly, that also lent itself more to the spirit of [Stine’s] books. Each episode can stand on its own as a little movie, but it was very tricky and very ambitious to do.”
Letterman concluded by praising the cast for bringing the material to life in such a special way, adding, “The cast is so awesome. They’re just so great and they really elevate everything.”
All episodes of Goosebumps season 1 are now available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu.

What We Can Learn Inside 50 Cent’s Explosive Diddy Documentary: 5 Reasons You Should Watch

50 Cent’s new Netflix docuseries about Sean “Diddy” Combs is more than a headline-grabbing exposé; it is a meticulous breakdown of how power, celebrity, and silence can collide in the entertainment industry.
Across its episodes, the series traces Diddy’s rise, the allegations that followed him for years, and the shocking footage and testimonies now forcing a wider cultural reckoning.

1. It Chronicles Diddy’s Rise and Fall – And How Power Warps Reality
The docuseries follows Combs from hitmaker and business icon to a figure facing serious criminal conviction and public disgrace, mapping out decades of influence, branding, and behind-the-scenes behavior. Watching that arc shows how money, fame, and industry relationships can shield someone from scrutiny and delay accountability, even as disturbing accusations accumulate.

2. Never-Before-Seen Footage Shows How Narratives Are Managed
Exclusive footage of Diddy in private settings and in the tense days around his legal troubles reveals how carefully celebrity narratives are shaped, even in crisis.
Viewers can learn to question polished statements and recognize that what looks spontaneous in public is often the result of strategy, damage control, and legal calculation.
3. Survivors’ Stories Highlight Patterns of Abuse and Silence
Interviews with alleged victims, former staff, and industry insiders describe patterns of control, fear, and emotional or physical harm that were long whispered about but rarely aired in this detail. Their stories underline how difficult it is to speak out against a powerful figure, teaching viewers why many survivors delay disclosure and why consistent patterns across multiple accounts matter.
4. 50 Cent’s Approach Shows Storytelling as a Tool for Accountability
As executive producer, 50 Cent uses his reputation and platform to push a project that leans into uncomfortable truths rather than protecting industry relationships. The series demonstrates how documentary storytelling can challenge established power structures, elevate marginalized voices, and pressure institutions to respond when traditional systems have failed.
5. The Cultural Backlash Reveals How Society Handles Celebrity Accountability
Reactions to the doc—ranging from people calling it necessary and brave to others dismissing it as a vendetta or smear campaign—expose how emotionally invested audiences can be in defending or condemning a famous figure. Watching that debate unfold helps viewers see how fandom, nostalgia, and bias influence who is believed, and why conversations about “cancel culture” often mask deeper questions about justice and who is considered too powerful to fall.

South Park’s Christmas Episode Delivers the Antichrist

A new Christmas-themed episode of South Park is scheduled to air with a central plot in which Satan is depicted as preparing for the birth of an Antichrist figure. The premise extends a season-long narrative arc that has involved Satan, Donald Trump, and apocalyptic rhetoric, positioning this holiday episode as a culmination of those storylines rather than a stand‑alone concept.
Episode premise and season context
According to published synopses and entertainment coverage, the episode frames the Antichrist as part of a fictional storyline that blends religious symbolism with commentary on politics, media, and cultural fear. This follows earlier Season 28 episodes that introduced ideas about Trump fathering an Antichrist child and tech billionaire Peter Thiel obsessing over prophecy and end‑times narratives. The Christmas setting is presented as a contrast to the darker themes, reflecting the series’ pattern of pairing holiday imagery with controversial subject matter.
Public and political reactions
Coverage notes that some figures connected to Donald Trump’s political orbit have criticized the season’s portrayal of Trump and his allies, describing the show as relying on shock tactics rather than substantive critique. Commentators highlight that these objections are directed more at the depiction of real political figures and the show’s tone than at the specific theology of the Antichrist storyline.
At the time of reporting, there have not been widely reported, detailed statements from major religious leaders focused solely on this Christmas episode, though religion-focused criticism of South Park in general has a long history.
Media and cultural commentary
Entertainment outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly, Forbes, Slate, and USA Today describe the Antichrist arc as part of South Park’s ongoing use of Trump-era and tech-world politics as material for satire.
Viewer guidance and content advisory
South Park is rated TV‑MA and is intended for adult audiences due to strong language, explicit themes, and frequent use of religious and political satire. Viewers who are sensitive to depictions of Satan, the Antichrist, or parodies involving real political figures may find this episode particularly objectionable, while others may view it as consistent with the show’s long‑running approach to controversial topics. As with previous episodes, individual responses are likely to vary widely, and the episode is best understood as part of an ongoing satirical series rather than a factual or theological statement.

Sydney Sweeney Finally Confronts the Plastic Surgery Rumors

Sydney Sweeney has decided she is finished watching strangers on the internet treat her face like a forensic project. After years of side‑by‑side screenshots, “then vs now” TikToks, and long comment threads wondering what work she has supposedly had done, the actor is now addressing the plastic surgery rumors directly—and using them to say something larger about how women are looked at in Hollywood and online.

Growing Up on Camera vs. “Before and After” Culture
Sweeney points out that people are often mistaking normal changes for procedures: she grew up on camera, her roles now come with big‑budget glam teams, and her body has shifted as she has trained, aged, and worked nonstop. Yet every new red‑carpet photo gets folded into a narrative that assumes surgeons, not time, are responsible. Rather than walking through a checklist of what is “real,” she emphasizes how bizarre it is that internet detectives comb through pores, noses, and jawlines as if they are owed an explanation for every contour of a woman’s face.
The Real Problem Isn’t Her Face
By speaking up, Sweeney is redirecting the conversation away from her features and toward the culture that obsesses over them.
She argues that the real issue isn’t whether an actress has had work done, but why audiences feel so entitled to dissect her body as public property in the first place.
For her, the constant speculation is less about curiosity and more about control—another way to tell women what they should look like and punish them when they do not fit. In calling out that dynamic, Sweeney isn’t just defending herself; she is forcing fans and followers to ask why tearing apart someone else’s appearance has become such a popular form of entertainment.
