Hugh Dancy From 'Hannibal' Swaps The Kitchen For The Bedroom In 'Fifty Shades Darker'
This time Dancy will be on the other side of the couch, serving as psychiatrist to Jamie Dornan's Christian Grey in sequel Fifty Shades Darker.
For three season's of NBC's gluttonous feast, Hannibal, we saw a tortured Hugh Dancy play traumatized FBI agent Will Graham. This time Dancy will be on the other side of the couch, serving as psychiatrist to Jamie Dornan's Christian Grey in sequel Fifty Shades Darker. The sequel to E.L. James's erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey sees original stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan return, alongside Kim Basinger, Rita Ora and now Dancy.
Dancy on Hannibal
Dancy will play Dr. John Flynn, brought on board to deal with Christian Grey's ever growing psychological issues as a former flame, Mrs. Elena “Robinson” Lincoln (Basinger), reappears in his life. Darker follows the events of Fifty Shades of Grey, when Johnson's Anastasia Steele starts a new job away from the clutches of her boss/lover. Steele is still haunted by some of Grey's former flames, especially as Lincoln is the woman who introduced him to his S&M lifestyle. Expect Dancy and Dornan to be sharing some sordid details of his sex life and push the boundaries or patient/doctor confidentiality.

Dancy is currently part of Hulu’s The Path with Aaron Paul and Michelle Monaghan, while his other works include, Elizabeth I, King Arthur, but most notably Hannibal. Luckily, the worlds of Fifty Shades and Hannibal aren't a million miles apart, so Dancy's inclusion is full of promise. Both stories look at the rather warped minds of individuals and their strained relationships. The love/hate relationship between Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter was explored during Hannibal's three seasons, but hints that the two were lovers were never fully confirmed. Let's just hope that the lengthy stop gap between Fifty Shades and Fifty Shades Darker hasn't diminished our appetite for the series. The addition of Dancy is sure to make us "hungry" for more!

Director James Foley is filming Fifty Shades Darker and a third, Fifty Shades Freed, back to back in Vancouver. You can see Dancy and Dornan in Fifty Shades Darker on February 10, 2017, with Fifty Shades Freed aiming for a February 8, 2018 release date.

Forget Jon Snow: Why Game of Thrones Needs THIS Character Back!
Before you start, no really, it isn't Jon Snow. It also isn't Stannis, Ned, Joffrey, King Robert, Barristan Selmy, or the old Northern woman who warned Sansa last season. Kit Harrington recently confirmed that everyone's favourite mop haired bastard will be returning to HBO's ice and fire epic, but in the worst kept secret ever, this is hardly news. But back to the story at hand, there is another Stark who just HAS to return to Game of Thrones, and here is what that return could mean for Westeros.

The Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.

The Search for the MacGuffin
"The MacGuffin is the thing that the spies are after, but the audience doesn't care." (Alfred Hitchcock). Here I am again, sitting in front of my typewriter. I have a sharp suit and seamed stockings. I have a cigarette permanently at one side of my mouth and I drink whisky with my black coffee for lunch. I’ve got to keep up with the boys in the writing room.
