Laura Jallali was looking for love with a Canadian man closer to her age, turning away from younger suitors. Laura's burlesque class aims to reclaim her sexy side and feel empowered amid her dating journey. Laura's date with Dwayne turns out awkward, lacking an instant connection, but she's open to exploring the relationship further.

Laura Jallali is trying to get back on television by borrowing a few ideas from Angela Deem on 90 Day Diaries. Laura, who first debuted on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way with her then-partner Aladin Jallali, is back on TV like she never left. Laura's love life was unique since she and Aladin were polar opposites with a 22-year age difference. Eventually, their marriage imploded, leading to a divorce.

The reality star revealed this during the series, 90 Day Fiancé: Self Quarantined. Laura indicated she was dating someone younger than her ex-husband, a 25-year-old dental student named Tony.

Cortney Reardanz is making her reality TV comeback, but she’s already rubbing 90 Day Fiance fans the wrong way.

It’s been nearly a decade since 90 Day Fiance fans were introduced to Cortney Reardanz during Season 1 of Before the 90 Days.

Her relationship with Antonio Millon fizzled out, but she was back again to debut her love story with Andy Kunz on 90 Day Fiance: Self Quarantined.

Cortney and Andy’s romance didn’t work out, either, despite an engagement, so Cortney was on the lookout for love once again.

In this fifth season of 90 Day Diaries, we’ve learned that Cortney was involved with a man named Mustafa, but instead of the third time being the charm, it turned out to be a major strikeout for the Florida native.

We were introduced to her latest fling, Elvis, on Monday night, and so far, it looks as though...

Season 4 of “90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days” has been such a ratings hit for TLC that the network is basically showing it again. “B90 Strikes Back,” a self-shot spinoff in which the cast watches the episodes each week, and responds to criticism and mockery from social media, will premiere on June 22. Much of the cast from “Before the 90 Days” will appear on the show — the full cast list is below — with a few exceptions.

Its progenitor “90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days,” which concluded on May 31, was a ratings blockbuster for TLC, hitting series highs for the franchise (no doubt in part because of home-bound viewers). In Nielsen’s live-plus-three ratings, “Before the 90 Days” drew an average of 4.2 million viewers (up 45% from Season 3) and a 3.7 in TLC’s target demographic of women 25-to-54 (up 24%). Its overall 25-to-54 rating was a 2.7 — 30% higher than Season 3’s average.

As Hollywood struggles to figure out how to return to filmmaking in the wake of the pandemic, television production has been quicker to adapt. Shows like “Saturday Night Live” embraced Zoom, while the Apple TV+ series “Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet” pulled off an entire episode based on being quarantined. But how quick has the adaptation process truly been for certain shows, and why have some been affected less than before? More importantly, what can shows that never stopped producing content teach bigger studios as they navigate unpredictable waters?

The first series to continue shooting after stay-at-home orders were enacted was the Facebook Watch talk show “Red Table Talk.” Hosted by Jada Pinkett Smith and her family, the series benefited from having much of its production rigging already in place. As Ellen Rakieten, executive producer of “Red Table Talk,” told IndieWire, the production stayed on top of current events, making plans...

For Howard Lee, the president of TLC, pivoting reality shows like “90 Day Fiancé” into self-taped series in the era of quarantine is a logistical challenge. But getting the talent on board has been the easy part.

“We’ve already been seeing footage coming in, and we’re already putting it together, because this is the fastest turnaround we’ve ever done,” Lee says, via Zoom, ahead of the April 20 launch of “90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined.” “But a commonality of all of our programming at TLC is ‘I’m often misunderstood. Please listen to me.’ This is just a new way of how to capture that. They’re used to this.”

Prior to Covid scrambling the priorities and production schedules of every shop in the TV business, Lee had already built out TLC — the Discovery Communications-owned network best known, when he arrived in 2008, for the radical candor of the...

90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined has quickly become one of the most fascinating reality shows on TV. The series features participants from across the 90 Day Fiancé franchise taping themselves at home and at work while adhering to social distancing guidelines to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Each subject (sometimes subjects) seems to be living in wildly different circumstance, offering a glimpse at how the coronavirus has impacted people around the country and world. Molly Viewers met Molly on 90 Day season five. She married Luis and things quickly fell apart. She hasn't spoken to him in years, but knows he remarried a girl from the Dominican Republic who was already in the United States. She thinks...
