Q: Is it true that Krystal and that other villain from “The Bachelor/Bachelorette” are getting divorced already? Was the wedding just a publicity stunt? – D.E.
A: I don’t know what to believe anymore when it comes to ABC’s “The Bachelor” and its franchises. I’m actually surprised at the number of successful marriages that have resulted so far. As for Krystal Nielson and Chris Randon, two of the most hated “characters” in the show’s history, I don’t know if the marriage itself was a publicity stunt or if they realized they weren’t a good match after the honeymoon period wore off. Only they know.

Two other members of the “Bachelor in Paradise” cast also have split, but at least they don’t have to worry about how to divide the wedding gifts. Kendall Long and “Grocery Store Joe” Amabile have called it quits, with Joe moving back to Chicago and Long staying in L.A.
Who knows? Maybe one of these four will end up being the next “Bachelor” or “Bachelorette”?
Q: My mom was telling me there is a spinoff of “Grey’s Anatomy,” but she couldn’t remember the name of the show. Can you tell me when it’s on? – O.S.
A: Unlike “NCIS,” “Law & Order” and the “Chicago” groups of series, the “Grey’s Anatomy” spinoff doesn’t have part of the original show’s title in its name. “Station 19” follows the lives of first responders at a fire station in Seattle. Ana Lee Ortiz’s character Andy and Jason George’s Ben from “Grey’s” were chosen to headline the new project, which is now in its third season.
“Station 19” has generated good ratings, and there are several crossovers with “Grey’s” that are planned for this season. In fact, the shows have swapped time slots, so you’ll see more instances where someone is rescued on “Station” and their story continued in the next hour when they’re treated at the hospital.
As Krista Vernoff, who now runs both shows, told “Deadline,” “I think it’s quite a different show [“Station 19”] this year. “It’s messier visually, and it’s messier emotionally than it’s ever been.”
“Station 19” airs on ABC Thursday nights at 8 p.m. ET, with “Grey’s Anatomy” airing right after at 9 p.m.
Q: Years ago I read a book about a male nurse who killed many patients by overdosing them on medication. I can’t remember the name of it, and Google hasn’t been any help. I wanted to read it again. Do you know the title, and was it ever made into a movie? – P.P.
A: You’re probably referring to “The Good Nurse,” written by Charles Graeber and published in 2013. Sadly, it was a true story about a nurse who killed what some estimate to be hundreds of patients in his care until a colleague helped build a case against him. It’s actually being made into a movie soon with Academy Award-winner Eddie Redmayne playing the evil RN and Jessica Chastain as the whistleblower.
