I'm back for Tolkien Reading Day, this time talking about Beregond and why this seemingly unimportant character is actually critical to his small part of the story and how he ties into one of the main themes of the book.Other Links: Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-355195 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@TolkienLore:f Twitter: https://twitter.com/jrrtlore Xero Shoes (affiliate link): https://xeroshoes.com/go/TolkienGeek Discord server invite link: https://discord.gg/EVKynAj2m9 (If link is expired contact me at tolkienloremaster@gmail.com and I'll send a fresh invite link).

We wrap up Star Wars Month with the top 10 minor characters. Those characters who didn't share a lot of the lime light but shined none the less!
Fr Chris Borah Isaiah 9:1-7Psalm 96Titus 2:11-14Luke 2:1-14
In meditation, let us focus on compassion for those who are overlooked—minor characters in stories and in life. Reflect on the figures of Deborah, Rachel's nursemaid, and Eliezer of Damascus. Their lives, like Rachel's own tragic death, are often reduced to mere footnotes in the grand narrative of Genesis. Janet Malcolm observed that biographers and storytellers may sacrifice the humanity of such “flat” characters to serve the greater arc. Yet these are three-dimensional souls with full, untold stories. In meditation, honor them and others who are marginalized or forgotten. Hold space for their dignity, their silent contributions, and their humanity. With each breath, expand your compassion, embracing those whose lives ripple unseen beneath the surface of larger tales.
Adrian Bliss – The Greatest Nobodies of History: minor characters from major moments...with TRE's Giles Brown
Marketing is like comedy. It has to be bold, memorable and perfectly timed to hit home. Great marketing knows how to turn heads, make an impression, and leave the audience wanting more, just like Midge Maisel.In this episode, we're taking marketing lessons from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.Together, with the help of our special guest, Head of Content & Brand at Close, Chelsea Castle, we're talking about using niche references, making your audience laugh, and making every word count.About our guest, Chelsea CastleChelsea Castle is Head of Content and Brand at sales productivity platform Close. She joined the company in April 2024 and formerly served as a content leader at Lavender.ai. She is a former journalist who became a content strategist and marketer, and brings with her more than 12 years of experience. She also formerly served as Director of Content Marketing at Chili Piper. What B2B Companies Can Learn From The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel:Use niche references. Don't be afraid to use obscure or niche references that target your ideal customer. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is so detail-oriented that a general audience will see and hear content that's true to the era, but people who know the period well will find meaning and humor in the minutest of details. Ian says, “I would rather hit one person in the heartstrings with the arrow and miss a hundred than sort of just hit a lot of people in the shoulder and have them be like, ‘Yeah, you know that I felt it, but, you know, I didn't feel it in my soul.' And you can do that with every post. If you're going to post, you know, 10 times in a week, then throw some obscure [references] out there, right? 80/20 rule. Have 80 percent of your posts be stuff that is mainstream and 20 percent of your posts be super obscure. And probably the ones that would go viral are the ones that are more obscure anyway.”Make ‘em laugh. Humor is not just about getting giggles. Chelsea says, “Humor fast tracks trust, but it also helps [content] stick more.” You're building a connection with your audience, earning credibility and humanizing your brand by showing that you have a sense of humor - and understand theirs as well. Make every word count. Quippy, smart dialogue is a hallmark of Amy Sherman-Palladino who created both The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Gilmore Girls. To the point where there are no throwaway lines - each word is meant to be there, every line counts. Chelsea says, “I think that is probably one of the most valuable marketing lessons I think that could be helpful in this industry right now, where, especially with writing, I teach my team [that] every single word needs to earn its spot on the page. We don't really think a lot about where certain things go, or you just usually throw it up on the blog, where it's like, ‘What if we created an interactive page? What if we created a unique landing page for this one type of content?' Or thinking too about magazines where you have restricted word count, where every single word needs to be valuable and really earn its spot. And I think we should think about that with everything.”Quotes*”You can't do anything cool without taking some risks along the way. So you kind of just weigh that balance. As marketers, we're so driven to just drive action, to drive a conversion that we kind of miss the opportunity to build some sort of connection with our audience. And that's harder. It takes more time, more thought, more intentionality. But that's how you get longer-term dividends and payoffs, is building more connection through what you create.”*”I worked in a branding agency, so I cut my teeth there where I was also essentially the content producer and executive producer of websites that I would create. So I feel like I've always had a lot of that in my career in terms of thinking through the whole experience of something with the magazines, I would think about the magazine having a heartbeat. And I apply that to my content now where you kind of want it to like ebb and flow, go up and down. You don't want it flat lined and you don't want it to be like peak the whole time. So I still apply that sort of thinking to how I think about content now, whether it's a virtual event, an in person event, a blog, of thinking about everything as [having] a heartbeat in a way that it's a full experience.”*”I think curiosity and gut are two of the biggest things to think about as a content leader. You've got to be tenaciously curious, ask all of the questions, dig as deep as you can. It's really hard. But it's also really fun work and you have to really lean into your curiosity and also your gut. Trust your gut. I think we don't talk enough about vibes or instinct in marketing. Like at Chili Piper and Lavender, for example, we had an idea of our brand, but a lot of the success came from just trusting our gut and experimenting and kind of just feeling what felt right. And you can't really put that in like a nice strategy doc, right? Like you kind of just have to go with your gut and your instinct and what feels right.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Chelsea Castle, Head of Content & Brand at Close[2:26] About Chelsea's Role at Close[3:38] The Making of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel[7:31] Marketing Lessons from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel[13:50] The Importance of Detail in Storytelling[23:03] The Power of a Strong Pilot Episode[27:45] Confrontation and Conflict[27:50] Character Development and Story Arcs[28:31] Minor Characters and Their Impact[30:27] Marketing Takeaways from Mrs. Maisel[32:59] The Power of Dialogue[42:21] Humor in Marketing[44:34] Humanizing Marketing[47:56] Building a Brand at Close[55:19] Final Thoughts and AdviceLinksConnect with Chelsea on LinkedInLearn more about CloseAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Quite often, stories that don't work have more to teach us than the stories that do. Maybe Maria Semple's novel (upon which this film is based), is simply one that's challenging to adapt to the screen. Whatever the case, this move has missed the mark on some basic storytelling principles (it has too many backstory info dumps, a Deus Ex Machina, and weak narrative drive). If you want to understand the impact these things have on a story, and on the reader/viewer, this episode is for you! - V."If exposition is not used properly, it will ruin your story."

Rusty and Mike (and Mason the producer) talk about their love of King of the Hill with a special Friday edition of their episode-by-episode podcast. Souphanousinphones Kohng Koy "Kahn" Souphanousinphone (Lao: ຂອງ ຂ້ອຍ "ຄານ" ສຸພານຸສິນພອນ) (voiced by Toby Huss) is Hank's materialistic, arrogant, and rude 41-year-old Laotian next-door neighbor, Minh's husband, Connie's father, and main antagonist. He was born and raised in Laos until he emigrated to Anaheim, California before the events of the series took place, then moved to Arlen during season 1 due to problems with their previous neighbors. He believes he's better than his new neighbors, often referring to them as "hillbillies" or "rednecks" despite not knowing what they actually mean. Minh Souphanousinphone (Lao: ມິນ ສຸພານຸສິນພອນ) née Hexumalayasabrath (Lao: ເຮັກຫຳມາລາຢາສາບຣາດ) (voiced by Lauren Tom) is Kahn's wife and Connie's mother. Minh is a 38-year-old housewife who enjoys making rude comments about the neighbors, particularly Peggy. Her father is Gum Nga Hexumalayasabrath, aka General Gum. She sometimes has a snobbish attitude toward the neighbors, referring to them as "hillbillies", "rednecks", or "dumb monkeys" despite lacking knowledge of what they actually mean. However, she is overall a more understanding parent and better neighbor than Kahn. Kahn "Connie" Souphanousinphone Junior (Lao: ຄານ "ຄອນນີ" ສຸພານຸສິນພອນ) (voiced by Lauren Tom) is the American-born 13-year-old daughter of Kahn and Minh. She is one of Bobby's best friends and for a time his girlfriend. She is a violin player, "A" student, and general overachiever pressured by her mother and father, who hold her to very high standards. Doggie Kahn (Lao: ດອກຂີ່ ຄານ) (often referred to simply as "Doggie") is their West Highland White Terrier. Tid Pao Souphanousinphone (Lao: ຕິດ ເປົາ ສຸພານຸສິນພອນ) (voiced by Lucy Liu) is Connie's criminally-inclined cousin and Kahn and Minh's niece from Los Angeles and the main antagonist in "Bad Girls, Bad Girls, Whatcha Gonna Do", who was sent by her parents to stay at Kahn's for a semester because she stole drugs from a street gang. She attended Tom Landry Middle School in the meantime. She seduced Bobby and tricked him into creating a meth lab by pretending to help him with building a candy machine for his group science project, and persuaded him to steal propane tanks from Strickland Propane to complete it. Laoma Souphanousinphone (Lao: ລາວມາ ສຸພານຸສິນພອນ) (voiced by Amy Hill) is Kahn's mother, Minh's mother-in-law and Connie's grandmother. She is the only person on the show who addresses Kahn by his full name. She's kind and hardworking and enjoys housekeeping. She is disliked by Minh because of her criticism of Minh's housework skills. General Gum (Lao: ພົນເອກ ງູ່ມ) (voiced by James Sie) is Minh's father, Kahn's father-in-law and Connie's grandfather usually referred to as "The General," (his full name is Gum Nga Hexumalayasabrath (Lao: ງູ່ມງາ ເຮັກຫຳມາລາຢາສາບຣາດ)) he appeared only in the episodes "Pour Some Sugar on Kahn" (in which he visits the family) and "Father of the Bribe" (in which Minh recalls her courtship by Kahn). Phonsawan Souphanousinphone (Lao: ພອນສະຫວັນ ສຸພານຸສິນພອນ) (voiced by James Sie) is the nephew of Kahn and Minh and the cousin of Connie and Tid Pao. He primarily speaks Lao.

2022.11.27 – 0696 – Voicing ‘Minor Characters' in Audiobook NarrationMinor characters - You don't need a totally unique voice for each character. Listeners know you are telling a story, not pretending to be different characters or that the production has a cast of hundreds. Have changes in your voice, but don't worry about creating 30 or 40 different characters, some of whom will only have a line or two.Similar characters - When the book calls for several similarly-sounding characters talking with each other (“The four friends, Bob, Dave, James and Pete, each cracked open a beer and started talking about what had just happened…”), how will you make each voice distinctive from the other? Consider elements such as pitch, nasality, rhythm and speed… all of which we have spoken about before. If they are minor characters appearing only once, then differentiation is less important. Acting - On the whole, you're not ‘acting' each character: you just have to give a flavour of the personalities, not a full exposition. You are illustrating a character … not putting on ‘a voice'. The voice comes from the characteristics of the person, so you act the character rather than purely giving them a voice. Just enough is enough. If you are too OTT then the listener will hear you, and not the story. So: You don't need to shout or scream as the actual character might do; use some mic technique, and pull back from the mic to make it immersive without blasting the listener. Hosted on Acast.

Rusty and Mike (and Mason the producer) talk about their love of King of the Hill with a special Friday edition of their episode-by-episode podcast. Other Hill, Platter, and Kleinschmidt relatives Ladybird Hill is the Hills' 13-year-old[8] purebred Georgia Bloodhound named after Lady Bird Johnson. It's said that her mother helped track down James Earl Ray, as revealed by Hank in episode 7 of season 1 titled "Westie Side Story". Colonel Cotton Lyndal Hill (voiced by Toby Huss) is Hank's cantankerous father, Peggy's father-in-law, and Bobby's grandfather. He has a hair-trigger temper. Despite his many shortcomings, he occasionally showed a softer side, for example, in the episode "Cotton's Plot" where he helped Peggy learn to walk again after her parachuting accident. Didi Hill (voiced by Ashley Gardner) is Cotton's second wife, Hank's stepmother, Peggy's stepmother-in-law and Bobby's stepgrandmother. She's a 28-year-old candy striper after she retired from being an exotic dancer. Good Hank Jeffrey "G.H." Hill is Cotton's and Didi's infant son, and the younger of Hank's two half-brothers. G.H. is an abbreviation for "Good Hank," implying that the original Hank was unsatisfactory to his father. Matilda "Tilly" Mae Garrison (formerly Hill) (voiced by Tammy Wynette in 1997–1998, Beth Grant in 1999, and K Callan in 2000–2009) is Cotton's first wife, Hank's mother, Peggy's mother-in-law and Bobby's grandmother, and is 69 years old. Elroy "Lucky" Kleinschmidt (voiced by Tom Petty) is Luanne's husband, a 36-year-old hillbilly. It's often hard for Lucky to hold down a job (he has no credit or Social Security number). He lives on the remainder of the $53,000 "settlement monies" he received after "slipping on pee-pee at the Costco" having had a portion of his spine fused. Gracie Margaret Kleinschmidt is the daughter of Lucky and Luanne. She was born in the season 13 episode "Lucky See, Monkey Do". Luanne originally wanted to name her Lasagna (stating that lasagna was their favorite food) while under the influence of hospital analgesics, but choosing a more conventional name after she had recovered. Myrna Kleinschmidt (voiced by Paget Brewster) is Lucky's sister, Luanne's sister-in-law, Gracie's aunt and the main antagonist in "Lucky See, Monkey Do". She is an intelligent, modern mother who only appears in the episode "Lucky See, Monkey Do". She has two children, one son and one daughter (Gracie's paternal first cousins) and raises them in strict accordance with contemporary parenting practices, something which leads her into a rivalry with Peggy, whose parenting skills are from older schools of thought, over how to assist Luanne as her pregnancy due date approaches. Leanne Platter (voiced by Pamela Adlon) is Luanne's violent alcoholic mother, Gracie's grandmother, Bobby's aunt and Lucky's mother-in-law, and is 42 years old. Hoyt Platter (voiced by Johnny Knoxville) is Luanne's father, Peggy's older brother, Hank's brother-in-law, Bobby's uncle, Lucky's father-in-law, Gracie's grandfather and Leanne's ex-husband, and is 50 years old. Despite Luanne's beliefs, he never worked on an oil rig, but was in jail for most of Luanne's life, with the oil rig story acting as a cover so Luanne wouldn't know her father was a convict. Maddy Platter (voiced by Joanna Gleason) is Peggy's and Hoyt's mother, Hank's mother-in-law and Bobby's and Luanne's grandmother. Mother Platter lives in Montana with her husband Doc. She's an old-fashioned, tough-as-nails rancher type and loathes Peggy for deserting the family ranch and not marrying a local neighbor boy. Doc Platter (voiced by Stephen Root) is Peggy's and Hoyt's father, Hank's father-in-law and Bobby's and Luanne's grandfather. Junichiro (voiced by David Carradine) is Hank's older half-brother, Peggy's half-brother-in-law and Bobby's half-uncle who has lived in Japan all his life. Dusty Hill (Himself) is the bassist/vocalist for the band ZZ Top and Hank's cousin. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Rusty and Mike (and Mason the producer) talk about their love of King of the Hill and what you can expect from this episode-by-episode podcast. In this extra Friday episode, they talk about some minor reoccurring characters in King of the Hill: Other Gribbles Nancy Hicks-Gribble (voiced by Ashley Gardner) (née Hicks) is Dale's wife, Joseph's mother and weather-girl-turned-anchor for local news station Channel 84, and is 44 years old. She had a 14-year affair with John Redcorn, which produced her son, Joseph, although the affair ended when John Redcorn befriends Dale. Joseph John Gribble (voiced by Brittany Murphy in 1997–2000, Breckin Meyer in 2000–2009) is Dale and Nancy's 13-year-old son[citation needed] and one of Bobby's best friends. Despite Joseph's obvious Native American features, his similarity in appearance to John Redcorn, and the fact that his middle name is "John," neither he nor Dale is aware that Redcorn is his biological father (Nancy refers to Dale having a "Jamaican grandmother" to explain Joseph's dark complexion). Bug Gribble (voiced by David Herman) is Dale's father, Nancy's father-in-law, and Joseph's grandfather, who had been estranged from Dale for many years for kissing Nancy at her and Dale's wedding reception. Bug is actually gay and had been flirting with a Filipino caterer instead, and, upon sensing Dale's imminent entry into the room, attempted to hide his orientation from his son by grabbing and kissing 'the nearest thing in a dress'. Other Dauterives Gilbert Fontaine Dauterive (voiced by David Herman) (pronounced "zhil-BEAR") is Bill's cousin. Though at one point shown to live on the family estate with his aunt and cousin in a Louisiana bayou in "A Beer Can Named Desire", he and Bill eventually wind up as the last two living Dauterives. Esmé Dauterive (voiced by Meryl Streep) was Bill and Gilbert's aunt, and matriarch of the Dauterive clan. She expressed deep concern over the family's ever-shrinking headcount, lamenting that "the Dauterive blood is down to a trickle". Violetta Dauterive (voiced by Natalie Maines) was Bill and Gilbert's cousin. She lived on the family estate in Louisiana with Esmé, Gilbert, and Rose and Lily, the widows of two other Dauterive cousins. Lenore Dauterive (voiced by Ellen Barkin) is Bill's mean-spirited ex-wife. She is mentioned frequently throughout the course of the series, but only appears twice – once being when Bill and Bobby watch Bill's wedding video. Eric Dauterive (voiced by Stephen Root) is Bill's implicitly-deceased father, who was said to be an abusive man and a heavy drinker, and is largely responsible for Bill's emotional instability. Other Boomhauers Patch Boomhauer (voiced by Brad Pitt) is Boomhauer's sleazy, womanizing younger brother. He appears in "Patch Boomhauer", apparently engaged to marry Boomhauer's old flame, Katherine—much to Boomhauer's mounting displeasure, as he himself has unresolved feelings for Katherine, and Patch's continued philandering angers him for her sake. Dr. and Mrs. Boomhauer (voiced by Mike Judge) are Boomhauer's parents. Mrs. Boomhauer is shown to speak like Boomhauer in "Peggy's Turtle Song". "Mee-Maw" Boomhauer (voiced by Mike Judge) is Boomhauer's elderly grandmother. She is seen in "Dang Ol' Love", when Boomhauer, infatuated with Marlene, goes to Mee-Maw to ask for a family-heirloom wedding ring as well as "Lucky's Wedding Suit", where she is seen sitting with the other guests as well as dancing with Patch for a brief moment.

Rusty and Mike talk about their love of King of the Hill and what you can expect from this episode-by-episode podcast. In this extra Friday episode, they talk about some minor reoccurring characters in King of the Hill with the help of Matt Savage and Mason the Producer: Tom Chick (voiced by Phil Hendrie) – The manager of the Channel 84 news division. Nguc Phong (voiced by James Sie) – A Laotian who is one of Ted Wassonasong's friends. Fred Ebberd (voiced by Chelcie Ross) – A member of the city council who also works at a movie theater. He appeared in only two episodes, but is mentioned by Hank in several others. Hank mentions voting for him and having no regrets about it even though he has expressed disappointment with his performance. Anthony Page (voiced by David Herman) – An ultra-liberal social worker from Los Angeles. Physically frail, as he considers carpal tunnel a disability (nicknamed "Twig Boy"). In the pilot episode, he is assigned to investigate the allegation that Hank is beating Bobby. He appears in a later episode as Leon's advocate when Hank fired him for drug-abuse. Carl the Restaurateur (voiced by Dennis Burkley) – Owns and operates the Showbiz Deli in the episode Love Hurts and So Does Art. He indicates in this episode that before switching the menu to New York style deli food, his restaurant had served Italian food. Carl is not a stickler for quality in his cuisine, noting that he orders chopped chicken liver in a large drum. His restaurant is not popular and often Bobby Hill is the only customer. He also seems to be a lazy cook, noting, "Did you know you have to heat up Italian food?". After the apparent failure of the Showbiz Deli, we encounter Carl again in Bad Girls, Bad Girls, Whatcha Gonna Do?, again having switched his menu, this time to sushi, another food that can be served raw. In this later episode, it appears that Carl's business is doing much better, as the scenes of the sushi restaurant show many customers inside. He is not to be confused with the similarly named school principal Carl Moss, who was also voiced by Burkley. Collete Davis (voiced by Christina Applegate) – Collete is the Owner of Hottyz in the episode "My Hair Lady" and a trendsetting hairstylist responsible for bringing the messy ponytail to Arlen. She hired both Luanne Platter and Bill Dauterive to work at her salon shortly after Luanne dropped out of college. Both become popular stylists until Bill admits to not being gay. Collete fires them both despite an impassioned speech by Luanne about acceptance and is not seen again until appearing in a non-speaking role during the episode "Lucky's Wedding Suit." Cane Skretteburg (voiced by Tré Cool) – Cane Skretteburg is the lead singer of a punk rock garage band and one of the main antagonists in the episode "The Man Who Shot Cane Skretteburg". Hank confronts this character with his band (voiced by Green Day) because their music was too loud. Later in the episode they have three paintball wars, the first two Hank, Boomhauer, Bill and Dale lose but win the last one. Cane and his band later appear in the episode "Master of Puppets".

Rusty and Mike talk about their love of King of the Hill and what you can expect from this episode-by-episode podcast. In this extra Friday episode, they talk about some minor reoccurring characters in King of the Hill. Monsignor Martinez (voiced by Mike Judge) – The Monsignor is a gun-toting priest antihero on the show-within-the-show called Los Dias y Las Noches de Monsignor Martinez, a favorite of many of the principal characters. Clips of his program are often inserted into episodes as part of a running gag. In one of the episodes, Hank mentions that Martinez is an undercover cop. The clips of his episodes which appear on the series usually feature him just about to kill one of his nemeses while solemnly uttering his catchphrase, "Vaya con Dios"; often preceding a melodramatic explosion. In the 8th-season episode "Flirting with the Master," the actor who plays Martinez invites Peggy to Mexico City to tutor his children, and she mistakes his interest for romantic passion. A live-action pilot was filmed featuring the character, but never aired because FOX didn't think it would have been a good idea to have a show about a Catholic priest shooting people. Lane Pratley (voiced by Dwight Yoakam in the first appearance, Dave Thomas in later appearances) – Lane is a sleazy car dealer who owns "Pratley Ford" and "Pratley Hyundai," and as he says, "I got my eye on Pratley Cadillac—my daddy ain't doing so good." Mark Buckley (voiced by David Herman) – Buckley was the slacker boyfriend of Luanne. He was killed in a propane explosion by his own negligence while working at Mega-Lo Mart in the second season finale, having dragged a propane tank by the valve instead of its handles resulting in leak. Officer Brown (voiced by Fred Willard) – Officer Brown is a local police officer in Arlen who is not averse to tampering with evidence and taking bribes from illegal food operations, as explained in episodes 20 and 11 (respectively) of season 12. Jack (voiced by Brian Doyle-Murray) – Jack is Hank's mentally unstable barber. Eventually, his distress affects his ability to style hair, causing Hank great embarrassment. Jack was almost forced out of business when a trendy salon named Hottyz opened across the street, but he was able to secure Luanne and Bill's services after Hottyz fired them when they learned Bill was not the homosexual hairstylist he'd been posing as. Eustace Miller (voiced by David Herman) – Eustace is a wimpy, mustachioed patent lawyer and father of Bobby's classmate Randy. Bob Jenkins (voiced by Henry Gibson) – Bob is a veteran reporter for The Arlen Bystander and is Peggy's main rival there. His left eye was scraped out of his skull because he had a brain tumor, leading him to wear an eye patch. When Peggy thinks the "Waffle House beat" is beneath her, Bob takes it over and breaks the story of Dale as "The Smoking Bandit." In "Bystand Me" (his debut episode), he tells Peggy that whenever he gets writer's block, he hires a prostitute. Miss Kremzer (voiced by Jennifer Coolidge) – The teacher at the beauty school Luanne went to. She is very condescending towards Luanne in her first appearance. After Hank's speech that gets Kremzer to change her grade for Luanne, she acts sympathetic along with the other students, but is right back to her previously displayed bad attitude in subsequent episodes. Sharona Johnson (voiced by Dawnn Lewis) – A girl that goes to the same beauty school that Luanne went to, Sharona is hardworking and intelligent but is also very arrogant and puts down Luanne constantly. Chris Sizemore (voiced by Chris Elliott) – A real estate agent that Peggy once worked for after she wrote a scathing article about him in the Bystander for which she was consequently fired. Gary Kasner (voiced by Carl Reiner) – An elderly Jewish man who serves as Tilly Hill's new love interest following her separation from Cotton. Learn more about your ad choices.
