Do you know where his/her parents live? I know they don't live in Halifax.
I don’t know anything about her family.
Anon with no balls to ask me - why would you need that info?
Do your own research, for yourself and keep the families out of this.

Thank you to those who updated me on the latest Sam sighting, and especially to the person who managed to identify the store, which is located in Toronto. Not exactly close to Halifax.
I have to say, though, I find this photo genuinely heartbreaking.
I know I criticize Sam quite a lot here, and even if I believe that criticism comes from a place of wanting better for him, seeing him like this makes continuing to criticize him feel a little like kicking someone when he’s already down.
Whatever it is behind the contrast between how incredibly up and almost excessively energetic he seems at public events, and how completely drained and sad he appears when the cameras are off, I just hope he’s okay.
And if he isn’t, I hope he finds whatever he needs to work through it and comes out the other side stronger, happier, and more himself again.
First of all, thanks to @margareth-lv and @outlanderskin for bringing these photos back today.
And since we have them here, perhaps it’s worth taking a closer look at a rather interesting contrast.
Let’s start with the black-and-white photo of Sam and MM.
Because, as we can see, it is perfectly possible to capture a wedding moment that feels genuinely romantic and intimate. The framing, the body language, the atmosphere… it all does exactly what a wedding photograph is supposed to do.
And then we move inside the ceremony.
Same wedding. Same couple.
And, well… the contrast rather speaks for itself, doesn’t it?
Which is precisely why context can be such an inconvenient little thing. When we have access to the moment as a whole - video footage, or simply a sequence of photos rather than one carefully selected frame - quite a few little stories tend to fall apart rather quickly.
Sometimes a photograph is simply a photograph. And sometimes putting a few of them next to each other makes the whole thing considerably more interesting.
For context, unless I’m mistaken, the ceremony photos came from the official wedding material, either the album itself or footage shared by the wedding photographer.
Quite a fascinating little comparison.
He looks terrible in both pics, granted. But in the second, more recent pic, he also looks... hunted?
So, basically, the MW has decided to wrap herself in the widow cloak, taking the position that no one can criticize anything that she does, because…grief. And she is using her usual mouthpiece to spin that narrative. Wow. Just when I thought she couldn’t sink any lower…
Dear Any Lower Anon,
Well, the way That Woman thinks she is so intelligent and subtle, while common sense constantly proves her wrong, is simply astonishing and a sure sign of deep personality problems.
You are either grieving, and then you take time to heal and make peace with your loss away from public scrutiny. Or, you make a crude, manipulative show out of your most recent life evolutions, involving a public person, nonetheless. Plus your own child.
She apparently thinks she can have it both ways. That is simply not possible, Anon, and that tells me exactly what I need to know about her real emotional age.
One of my son’s best friends lost his father recently after a long battle with cancer (6 years, I believe?). He is in high school, so older than Steph’s daughter. His mother had always been an incredibly involved parent, but to watch the way she threw herself into being a full time mother after her husband’s death was truly amazing. Her son was (and is) her absolute number one priority. She did not erase her husband. Quite the opposite. She talks about him all the time, his picture is still all over their house, she even recently took her son on an international trip with her late husband’s family, etc. One thing that she did that I thought was particularly touching was she renovated their house, explaining to me that she and her husband had discussed it for years, had plans drawn up, etc, but that everything got put on hold when he was diagnosed with cancer. She said that completing the renovations he had envisioned felt like a way of honoring his wishes, while also doing something that would benefit their son. Now, at the same time, she also began going out for drinks with friends after work, going to concerts, dipping her toe back into the social scene that she had ignored for years, while she was focused on her husband’s health. Other moms gossiped about her doing this. She only went out when her son was at an activity (keep in mind that the son drives himself), was home by the time he got home, etc. I actually believe that this was healthy. She had spent 6+ years as the primary caretaker for her husband, so, to me, re-engaging with friends was an important part of the healing process.
All of the above to say, that I would not judge someone for venturing out into the world of the living after the death of a spouse. I would not even judge them for dating again. Because, as everyone has pointed out, grief looks different for everyone. BUT, what I will judge MW for is the ruthless way in which she erased her husband from her life (I can only imagine how his family and friends must feel). The way she very quickly not just began dating, but began following another man all over the world, dragging her daughter with her. And that leads me to the most disgusting part of all of this, the daughter. I don’t care about MW grief. I don’t care if MW f*cks half of the men in the world as part of her “healing”. What I do care is that at no point in all of this does she appear to have considered her daughters feelings or needs. So, to P*rv and anyone else who wants to judge us for judging MW, I would say it’s not just about MW and how she chooses to grieve (or not), it is about the family of her deceased husband and the poor little girl who lost her stepfather.
(I apologize for how long this is, but clearly P*rv struck a nerve with me!)
Dear Will Not Judge Anon,
Thank you for sending me this. I believe you make some very interesting and valid points.
Yes, grief is a very personal experience. And I agree with you: we are not judging the grieving process. We are seeing and -yes!- judging the opportunism, which I think is revolting, in this particular case. And the complete lack of parental responsibility, especially considering certain special circumstances I shall not dwell upon.
The House Pet Troll is, as always, pathetically manipulating her readers.
I often wonder how Eoin's family must feel about this. And I am also often left without words.

Contradiction in practice!
At least in this post—"these green meadows are natural"—where SH calls for protests against the data centre, the images are authentic. This stands in stark contrast to the content he churns out on his Instagram stories to promote his spirits and distillery—specifically, those AI-generated ads (crafted not by him, of course, but by his regular partners @edinburghblackcabtours, who team up with him to shuttle fans down to the distillery.
The hypocrisy is delicious 💁
SH poses for the media as a green warrior battling data centres, yet doesn’t think twice about using AI to flog his own businesses, conveniently forgetting that artificial intelligence is a massive driver behind the very facilities he opposes. Consequently, SH is projecting a wildly inconsistent image.
He badly needs to find a clear direction for the cause he champions; otherwise, he simply looks like a weather vane—shamelessly jumping on the latest trend to stay in the media spotlight without offering an ounce of substance to justify the headlines.
It is hard to defend someone when their words and actions do not match. This creates mistrust. It happens when inner values clash with outer behaviour and choices go against past statements.
By the way, will he be attending the protest at Hunterston Estate, Scotland 🏴, on Sunday, August 23rd? 🤷
Posted 13th August 2026
@mojo106 Excuse me. Unfortunately, neither the post nor the screenshots belong to you. They remain the property of @reject _hunterston_data_centre as the original creator always retains legal ownership of their content. Publishing a screenshot does not transfer any legal rights to the individual who took the image. Furthermore, sharing content via a platform’s official, integrated features is not considered plagiarism. Following that logic, SH would not have been able to post them either. This distinction was evident in the three examples from SH’s Instagram profile. It is always helpful to fully understand how these concepts work before addressing the matter.
And all of a sudden the screenshot I put in my post yesterday with the German style written time stamp is gone from your post.
The one I was referring to in my comment.
Do you really think I’d be stupid enough not to save a screenshot of your post before you quickly edited it following my comments?
And please don’t give me a lecture on copyright. You’ve definitely picked the wrong person to do that to.
I was asking you not to use my screenshot, because you took them from my post. For clarity I add this below👇:
Das war mein einziges Anliegen. Aber leider bist Du offensichtlich zu feige, Deinen Fehler zuzugeben. Aber da Du ja offensichtlich fließend Deutsch sprichst, wirst Du das alles problemlos verstehen. Warum sollte die Spracheinstellung auf Deinem IG Account sonst in deutscher Sprache sein? 🤦♀️
@maximumwobblerbanditdounut understood very well that sharing someone else's screenshot without due sourcing credit was not exactly illegal, but unethical. Bringing copyright to the table as a way of deviating the debate is a cheap pretext that does not hold.
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones, 'Max'.
I shall leave it at that, for the moment. I can't be really arsed to look for the numerous times you were plagiarizing other websites' content, thinking we are idiots and could never tell.
'Borrowing' shipper content after calling us stupid for years is rich. Second time this happens in a week.
Wow.
Guys, don’t overthink it.
This is the same man who stood and waited in the produce section of a grocery store in North Carolina until someone recognized him.
Need I say more?
Since Sam apparently really wanted us to know he was in Canada, presumably so we’d connect the obvious dots and understand just how serious and established this relationship is, I hope he’ll forgive me for having a few questions.
First of all: why all the secrecy?
A fiercely private man who is determined to protect the privacy of the people closest to him doesn’t put those people on top of a bus in the middle of a New York parade.
He doesn’t fly them across the world for what appears to have been a 36 hour trip either.
He’s apparently too private to post normal glimpses of his everyday life with his girlfriend.
But not private enough to put that girlfriend and her daughter front and centre at the distillery opening, surrounded by cameras and journalists.
Too private to simply say in an interview that he’s in a relationship.
Not too private to make sure she’s visible whenever the cameras are.
That’s a very specific kind of privacy.
And since I’m apparently expected to accept all of this as a perfectly normal, organic relationship, let’s go back a little further, because I have more questions.
What authentic relationship needs a steady stream of leaks to a gossip blog?
Why was her private Instagram cleaned up, including removing all traces of her late husband, shortly before her first public appearance at Rik’s wedding?
Why briefly open that private account in the middle of the night in Ireland, leave it open long enough for people to see what was there, and then close it again?
Why did her proper public rollout happen around the distillery, with some of her posts subsequently tied to SS?
Why does she follow practically everyone who so much as breathes within Sam’s orbit?
Why were the Christmas photos of them taken outside on the street rather than inside his home?
Why the AI altered photos?
Why does virtually every public appearance seem to come with a friend conveniently positioned as a buffer?
Why does her supposedly professional account so often seem to function as a location beacon, with those locations repeatedly being connected to Sam?
Why, after a whole year, have we seen so little that suggests any natural bond between him and her daughter?
Why has he seemed so unhappy and unsettled during much of the same period?
Why is spontaneous physical affection between them so difficult to find?
Why does even sustained eye contact seem remarkably rare?
Why does what is said on Tumblr is being monitored and appear to matter so much?
And why, generally, does a supposedly private relationship seem to require quite this much audience participation?
I could keep going.
There have been so many strange and downright unnatural moments over the past year.
None of this feels organic to me. It feels presented. Managed. Performed.
And perhaps that’s why it fits so neatly with this new version of Salesman Sam.
He sells us books. He sells us whisky. He sells us a fitness programme.
And now, apparently, he’s also selling us a relationship.
I’m just not buying.
Wow. This is wonderfully written and so true.
Thank you for clarity, always.
My husband died 4 years ago, in May. We were a young couple with dreams that cancer cut short. For me, every May has taken on a different meaning and emotional weight—especially the beginning of the month (he passed away on the 5th). May is the month when the memory of his passing comes back to me. I still cannot bring myself to do anything in May that isn't of a reflective nature. I usually travel to places we visited or places he would have liked to go; I visit his grave, attend memorial masses, and pray for him. I can't imagine going to weddings during the very month I lost my husband, nor can I picture myself attending festivals around the anniversary of his death. He told me a thousand times that I should move on with my life, but this isn't about what he told me to do; it’s about me and how much I miss him. It’s about my feelings and respect for his memory, because what we shared was real. My therapist told me that grief is something that needs to be lived through, and that she prefers patients who make space for that grief—as I do—over those who seem to try to erase the grief or the memory of the person who has passed away.
First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. I haven’t gone through something like this myself, but I can imagine the void left behind when you lose the love of your life in such a way—especially so soon. The way you are grieving seems valid and authentic to me. I am certain I would do the same thing. I cannot imagine erasing, replacing, or ignoring the pain of losing someone I loved, married, lived with, and built dreams of a future with. I fully agree with your psychologist, and I hope you continue your journey staying true to your feelings and to who you are. Whenever you need to talk, my inbox will always be open. And I know there are many people in the fandom who have gone through the same thing.
That message is heartbreaking, and I completely understand why so many people who have gone through this are so disappointed by recent events. I also believe that the best way to grieve isn't by erasing the deceased person from my life or replacing them with someone else. My parents have passed away, and since then, occasions like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day have taken on a different meaning for me. Even though I have a family of my own, those are days I will dedicate to them forever. I am so sorry for your loss, Anon😢.
It's been forty years since I lost my wonderful grandfather, Anon. I will never forget and I do not want to.
Grief never goes away. It morphs, it mellows, it is sublimated by time. But if you truly loved someone, they will live within you for as long as you do.
You'd have to be cursed with a specific set of psychological traits to erase someone so completely from your own past. A someone who clearly loved you for who you were and found a place in their heart for a child that wasn't theirs.
That social media silence is not respect, even if it probably is calibrated and calculated to look respectful. However, once you find out the woman went to a fucking stand-up comedy festival two or three days before the second commemoration of her husband's death - when things normally still feel vividly raw - you cannot ignore the truth
Namely that it is disrespectful, opportunistic and textbook narcissistic behavior.
Unless you are lying to yourself, of course.
A hug to you, Anon. I know exactly how it feels and you have all my sympathy.

You said: “He miscalculated the 🎪Fatigue of this entire fandom. Someday, people will look at this and try to figure out why they even cared, to begin with.
And then... then it will be too late.”
And I stood up and clapped.
Because, here’s the thing…Sam can be with Steph, he can be with Cait, he can be with one of the bendy blondes he follows on social media…and I literally do not give a shit anymore. He is a grown man playing games and acting more immature than my teenagers. Add to that the fact that the woman he is playing said games with has shown herself to be dishonest and opportunistic, and he has really turned me off.
At this point, I am just disgusted, and I do not think I’m alone. Can he come back from this? Who knows, but if he stays on the current trajectory, I think things will only get worse. Fan disengagement js one of the worst things that can happen to someone in his position and, as you correctly point out, it is already happening.
Dear DGAF Anon,
He is literally doing nothing else than he already did, during the Flukenzie Floozy Era: tons and tons of innuendo, trips and shows and 'candid sightings' (my left foot) and probably meeting the family, or insinuating he did. While the House Pet Troll is gushing so hard, she sounds like a spiraling mental ward patient.
There is nothing new under this bored, dull sun. And to be honest, this is quite depressing.
The problem is that you cannot play the same farce twice to the same people and expect them to buy it, no questions asked. And the second, more important and underlying problem is, I believe, his complete inability to negotiate a critical life waypoint with a clear, responsible and mature mindset. This is not what people like/want/are interested to follow and engage with. People liked him because he was a breath of fresh air, not a stale peddler of sorts. People liked the energy, the magnetism and yes - can you blame them? - the (very real) Story. People like the excitement of new beginnings, the feeling they support the Next Big Name on that poster or cinema marquee - and yes, people like success, which is to say, potential finding its way home.
Tell me, Anon: what is there to like, here, anymore?
As for the last episode of Where is Waldo, may I point out a couple of interesting inconsistencies, just because I am bored and could probably make a better use of my time, but somehow don't.
This is the IG post that started it all:
As you can see, it was posted on IG two days ago, on August 11. But - as the BONUS part suggests, it was edited 15 hours ago, to include a tag that is now showing on S's account under the corresponding tab.
The lady who posted it is into hockey. So what, you might ask, because many Canadians are, right?
But not that many Canadians are probably closely related (aunt? mom?) to a young hockey player. A player heavily featured on her sparse social media account:
This goalkeeper:
Here is what I think happened, Anon. I think the poster initially recognized the Widow, who used to be all over the place during her stint - if I may say so- as a hockey WAG. Then she was told who he was and for some reason decided (or was asked to, we will never know and can only speculate) to edit her post almost two days later.
What are the odds of a single candid sighting, by someone who is not an OL fan, in a compact gathering of about 25K people?
Oh, and before *urv squees too hard: Madam Mao's parents do not live in Halifax. And there is a fair distance to their home. But hey, Margot was always sloppy when it came to geography.
To round it up, I think there are reasons for this circus to happen. I am planning to slowly, patiently offer my own POV. However, I think this goes a bit far, with disenchantment risks outweighing the questionable amusement.
The saddest part? She doesn't even have to be in the picture, the effect is exactly the same. And that is a double-edged sword.
PS: with many, many thanks to my generous friend who shared many of her thoughts with me and allowed me to add my own 50 cents to this post. Credits are hers and hers alone.
To each his own
I have no problem with people protesting against a hyperscale data centre. That is the fundamental right of every individual in a democracy.
But I really take issue with someone posting the story above on his IGS after having previously run two ads for his booze that were very likely created or edited using AI tools.
This three stories were posted within a time span of two hours today (13 August 2026).
Just to know - the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the key drivers behind the construction of new hyperscale and AI-optimized data centres worldwide.
I see everyone is already caught up on the latest chapter, so after writing far too many words with far too much sarcasm, I deleted the whole thing and was left with just one question:
Why did Sam want us to know he was in Canada?
He clearly expected us to figure out the location from the lake ourselves, but apparently people just don’t care enough anymore to spend their time tracking down random bodies of water around the world.
Let me know when he looks at Steph the way he looks at Caitriona.
Until then, as far as I’m concerned, all this carefully timed visibility is just part of the show.
He miscalculated the 🎪Fatigue of this entire fandom. Someday, people will look at this and try to figure out why they even cared, to begin with.
And then... then it will be too late.
📐The Sanity Scale 📐
When you realize you're a serious adult woman wasting precious hours on internet speculation about two actors you'll never actually meet, you do feel a little ridiculous.
Then — plot twist — you come across an X account shipping the main characters from BOMB.
Instant relief. A weight lifts off your shoulders.
Because maybe you're a little unhinged — but clearly you're nowhere near the top of the leaderboard.
🙃
. . . [13 August, 2026]
I mean, LOL. They really think we are idiots.
It’s hard to guess his location going by IG activity if he is currently working which seems likely as he’s mentioned a few times an upcoming role . He could be on night shoots or early morning calls like 5 am posting from make-up costume or between takes , meal breaks etc which may not reflect his actual location.
This.

En tu opinión, ¿C trabaja tan duro porque todos los negocios de T están fracasando?
Dear McGill Ltd. Anon,
Voy a traducir y responder a tu pregunta en inglés. Es lo más sensato. Gracias de antemano.
'In your opinion, C is working so hard because all of T's business projects are floundering?'
Excuse my direct tone, but: are you new?
McGill has a string of failed - or mediocre, at best - business projects on his own account, that happened before he even met, greeted and became C's Dutiful Prop.
In this blog's archives, you will find a fair view of McGill's Adventures in Businessland. Complete with his real status in C's businesses. So no, to answer your question, I do not think she works hard at all, she simply works coherently and constantly. By her own choice and good for her.
C is being successful while he’s ruining his life over something that isn’t even worth it. It’s so sad to see him like this, sinking deeper and deeper.
Dear Sinking Anon,
You seem to have made the rounds with your ask, to which I am deliberately answering a bit later than usual.
S is 46. At this age, whatever he does or whatever happens to him must neither be excused - like his Mommies' Brigade always does, no matter what -, nor torn to shreds. I am just taking stock of whatever the dish of the day is, while being fully aware that focusing solely on his - and his collaterals' - social media is a ridiculous mistake.
At this point in time, I simply hope he will finally be able to put a couple of important things into perspective, take his responsibilities - personal and business-wise - and cut short this stupid PR circus and the profiteer clique he somehow managed to collect en route.
While he looks increasingly scattered and clueless, C is consistent. He might be the more gifted actor - I will die on that hill -, but she is the more articulated and perseverant one. And that makes all the difference.
Other than that, I wish both of them well. I really do. But I am afraid that, at least as far as S is concerned, things are going to be increasingly complicated, at least on the short term.
As far as S's acting projects go, I think speculation is useless. It's either too early, or too late. Only time will tell - but how many of you would still even care, by next year?
