Randy Schell's name may not sound familiar to The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead fans, but they all know him as the guy who narrated the "previously on The Walking Dead..." segment before each episode.
Sadly, a skydiving accident last Saturday in Houston, resulted in Schell's death. He was making a jump like he'd done time and again, but collided with another skydiver accompanying him. His jump partner survived the collision but Schell wasn't as fortunate.
In addition to the AMC zombie series, Schell's two-decade-plus career as a voiceover artist spanned other high-profile television shows like Better Call Saul, Dancing With The Stars and Life In Pieces. He was well-recognized in his profession, even if he wasn't in front of the cameras.
“He had a golden voice, he knew what to do with it,” Schell's agent told KHOU 11 News. "He was a constant professional. Everyone loved working with him. He was also a brilliant producer and engineer. He was a great friend, a great man and a great client."
The Walking Dead fans remembered Schell on social media:

The Walking Dead returns for its eighth season in October. AMC has not commented on whether it will continue to use Schell's voiceover.

Rumors about Tanner Novlin are unfounded Social media posts in Facebook groups suggest Tanner Novlin has been fired as John Finnegan on The Bold and the Beautiful. No one has given a source for this information, but it is being passed around. The only articles I could find on the issue were from the period when Finn was shot by Sheila and presumed by many to have died.

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.
