CELEBRITY EXTRA BY DANA JACKSON Q: Whatever happened to Antonio Sabato Jr.? I saw that his character is back on “General Hospital,” but being played by a different actor. — K.W. A: Antonio Sabato Jr. recently expressed his disappointment on social media about not being asked to return to the daytime soap “General Hospital” in the 30 years since he departed it. He theorizes that his conservative political views aren’t in alignment with Hollywood’s and that he’s been blacklisted from the ABC soap. For whatever undisclosed reason, the soap recently recast the role he originated — John “Jagger” Cates — with actor Adam J. Harrington. *** Q: How is Wendy Williams doing since her talk show was canceled? Is she in good health? — K.J. A: Wendy Williams was fired from her own syndicated weekday talk show in 2022 and replaced with Sherri Shepherd. Executives reportedly made the decision after not hearing from Williams for months and having 16 different hosts on rotation to fill her chair before ultimately choosing Shepherd. Toward the end of Williams’ very successful career, first in radio and then in television, she was reportedly battling addiction and entered

rehab. She was also appointed a guardian by a judge. Recently, Williams produced a two-part documentary about her recent struggles, which will premiere on Lifetime on Feb. 24. In a preview, she talks about her health issues, but a relative is also shown confronting her for possibly downing a bottle of vodka in one day. There are also hints of other health issues besides alcohol abuse, such a known thyroid disorder called Graves disease. One of her family members tells the camera that Williams is “losing [her] memory” and “anyone can look at her and tell this is not just alcohol; there’s something more going on.” Since the film is produced by Williams and features those who love her, it’s probably not the most objective documentary, but it will at least give fans a glimpse into her life and how she’s been faring. She still has a huge fanbase who cares for her, but her future in show business remains uncertain. *** Q: Is Catherine O’Hara going to be in a new show or movie anytime soon? I loved her in “Schitt’s Creek” and still watch the reruns. — B.B. A: While Catherine O’Hara has been making audiences roar with

laughter since her “Second City Television” sketch-comedy days almost 50 years ago, she reached the pinnacle of her fame playing Moira Rose in “Schitt’s Creek.” The Canadian comedy series gained a huge following when it arrived on Netflix, and now at the age of almost 70, O’Hara is busier than ever. She’s currently in the movie “Argylle,” starring Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard, and you can still catch her in the Netflix film “Pain Hustlers” with Emily Blunt and Chris Evans. However, it’s her upcoming role in the highly anticipated second season of HBO’s “The Last of Us” that has people talking. No further details have been announced about her role. Production for the new season is set to begin this spring, but the series likely won’t air on HBO and Max until 2025.

Indulge in decadence without the fuss: The easiest chocolate fondue BY PATTI DIAMOND hether you’re planning a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner, date night, fun party or just craving a chocolaty escape from the ordinary, I’ve got the perfect treat for you. With this surprisingly easy chocolate fondue, the decadence is unbelievable and the effort is minimal. And here’s the best part -no fancy fondue pot required! For the richest chocolate fondue, opt for the highest quality chocolate that you can comfortably afford. Choose a variety that you’d happily snack on. Chocolate chips offer a convenient choice, and I recommend semisweet or dark chocolate chips, or a mix of both, for an optimal flavor profile. Don’t hesitate to use chopped chocolate bars if that’s what’s available. Many of them make scrumptious fondue; just give them a quick chop before melting. When it comes to the velvety base, strike a balance by combining heavy cream and milk, ensuring a luscious fondue that maintains a rich chocolate essence without overwhelming heaviness. No fondue pot? No worries! Whip up this perfect chocolate fondue in the microwave or a double boiler on the stovetop. This chocolate fondue stays smooth and dippable long enough that it doesn’t need a fondue pot. Just using a warmed ceramic dish works great. Reheat in the microwave if needed. Bamboo skewers stand in nicely for fondue forks.

THE EASIEST CHOCOLATE FONDUE

Total Time: 15 minutes Yield: 8 servings 10 ounces semisweet, dark or milk chocolate chips (about 1 3/4 cups) or a mixture 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup whole or 2% milk, plus more as needed Pinch kosher salt Place the chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup milk into a microwave safe bowl, or in a double boiler over barely simmering water. Melt the chocolate, stirring often. Add additional milk if needed to thin chocolate to desired consistency. When chocolate is melted, smooth and glossy, pour into a serving bowl and serve with dippers. With our velvety chocolate fondue prepared, let’s choose dippers. Aim for diverse textures and flavors, organizing them into categories for a delightful variety.

Cookies and other sweets: rolled wafers, biscotti, meringues, sandwich cookies, shortbread, marshmallows, brownies, Rice Krispie Treats, pound cake, graham crackers, doughnut holes. Fresh and dried fruit: strawberries, bananas, apples, pineapple, orange segments, apricots, citrus peel, banana chips, apple chips, figs. Savory suggestions: thick-cut salted potato chips, pretzels, peanutbutter pretzels, buttery crackers, cooked thickcut bacon. Garnishes: flaky salt, shredded coconut, chopped toasted nuts, sprinkles, crushed freezedried fruit, Pop Rocks! Here are some chocolate fondue variations that won’t break the bank! Explore extracts like vanilla, orange or

peppermint for a unique twist. Elevate the experience by adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of liqueur -choose chocolate, hazelnut, amaretto, orange or coffee liqueurs. Spice it up by adding ground cinnamon, a pinch of chili powder and a drop of almond extract for a nod to Mexican chocolate. Embarking on your first fondue adventure? Here are some etiquette tips to guide your chocolate-covered journey. Encourage a no-doubledip policy to ensure everyone enjoys a clean and germ-free chocolate experience. Drop the dipped delight onto your plate and switch to a separate utensil for eating. Opt for practicality if there are more than four people at the table by setting up two platters of dippers on either side of the pot, ensuring easy access without the need for acrobatics. So, whether it’s a romantic rendezvous or a solo indulgence, join me in chocolate fondue that’s as easy as it is luxurious. Oh, and leftover fondue chocolate makes a fabulous hot chocolate base.
