Carolina Panthers’ former linebacker Dean Wells has died after a two-year battle with cancer. He was 54.

Wells, who played in the NFL for nearly a decade, died on Wednesday, April 3, reported the Carolina Panthers.

As well as the Panthers, the professional athlete also played for the Seattle Seahawks, which he was drafted into in 1993. Prior to his NFL career, he played for the University of Kentucky during his college football career. Wells retired from professional football in 2001.

Wells was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in early 2023 and began chemotherapy. According to the Mayo Clinic, ALL is a type of cancer in the blood and bone marrow and is “a disease that progresses rapidly and creates immature blood cells, rather than mature ones.”

Following months of chemo treatment, Wells’ cancer initially went into remission before he later received the news in the fall that it had returned.

Wells spoke about his cancer fight with sports outlet KSR in April 2024.

“Show me who to tackle and I can do that,” Wells told the outlet. “This is in the doctors’ hands and it’s in God’s hands.”

In the same interview, Wells shared details of the support he had been receiving from those around him and how he was trying to stay positive amid the difficult diagnosis.

“So many teammates have reached out. ‘You’re one of the toughest guys I’ve ever met. I know you’ll beat this,’” he said. “There’s mental toughness that comes into it. You have to have a positive attitude that you can beat it. I’ve done everything that I can with that. It’s like the chemo either works or it doesn’t. You just don’t have a lot of control over it. You wish you had more control.”

Wells added that he learned his positive outlook from his mother.

“Generally speaking, my mother was a very positive person and I think she kind of rubbed off on me in that regard,” he added. “Not that I’m not scared and everything else you would expect with the possibility of dying, but you still gotta find a way to enjoy every day and stay positive.”

According the Carolina Panthers, Wells spent much of the last year of his life raising awareness about how to help in the fight against cancer, including encouraging people to donate blood, donate to cancer research initiatives and to join the bone marrow registry.

Wells is survived by his wife Lisa and two sons.

The newest Sheriff Country crossover on Fire Country featured some nods to Max Thieriot‘s days on Bates Motel, but did you catch every Easter egg?

During the Friday, April 4, episode, Thieriot’s character Bode found himself helping Sharon’s (Diane Farr) stepfather, Wes (W. Earl Brown), at his off-the-grid marijuana property. The story line felt very reminiscent of Dylan’s days guarding marijuana plants on Bates Motel, which was intentional on Thieriot’s part.

“I’m going to go one level deeper here. Mickey’s dad [on Sheriff Country] is who we bought the motel from [on Bates Motel]. W. Earl Brown is the one who owned the motel that Norma and Norman purchased and that set off the whole thing in the beginning. It’s crazy,” Thieriot, 36, exclusively told Us Weekly. “The big thing for us is the show is centered in northern California and it is a version of a humble town and marijuana is really the industry — and has been for a long time. So we’re back to it. We’re back to some of those Bates Motel ways again.”

There’s also the fact that Thieriot’s former costar Freddie Highmore is directing an upcoming episode of Fire Country.

'Bates Motel' Cast: Where Are They Now?

“He directed episode 18 [of season 3], which was really exciting for the two of us. Freddie and I are really like brothers in real life. Since we finished Bates Motel, I have been in Los Angeles and he was in Vancouver the whole time doing The Good Doctor. But we miss getting to work together,” Thieriot noted. “Although this was different, it was just fun to get to come together and work on something. Freddie directed when I was on Bates Motel as well but I hadn’t worked with him as a director since then.”

He continued: “Freddie is maybe the smartest person that I know. He is really talented and can do anything and everything. He approaches everything from a different way than most other people do — just because of how cerebral he is. But maybe one day he’ll appear on screen. I know the two of us really want to work together on camera again.”

Before becoming the star and executive producer on Fire Country, Thieriot was a fan favorite on Bates Motel. The A&E series, which ran from 2013 to 2017, worked as a prequel to Alfred Hitchcock‘s 1960 film Psycho, which introduced Norman Bates (Highmore) as a teenager making a move with his mother, Norma (Vera Farmiga), but his deteriorating mental health causes complications.

Bates Motel expanded on the world of Psycho by introducing new characters such as Norman’s half-brother, Dylan, his best friend Emma (Olivia Cooke) and a love interest for Norma a.k.a Sheriff Alex Romero (Néstor Carbonell). Thieriot also appeared on SEAL Team before introducing Us to the world of Fire Country.

Everything to Know About Fire Country's Spinoff 'Sheriff Country'

“I’ve been really, really fortunate over the years to not only have worked with really incredible actors but also some really just straight up wonderful people,” Thieriot gushed. “I would love to be able to work with them again. There’s at least one or two people on the last two shows that I’ve done that I would love to get over here somehow in some capacity.”

For now, Thieriot is focused on Fire Country‘s success as its first spinoff, Sheriff Country, prepares for its fall premiere. Thieriot isn’t stopping there though, admitting to Us that he always has new ideas on his mind.

“I know there’s a limit to the amount of Country [shows] we can have. I think there’s also a certain point where it’s, like, quality over quantity,” he explained. “So the most important thing is that we’re always nurturing Fire Country — and now Sheriff Country — and making sure that they are getting all the attention that they should be getting so that the audience gets what they deserve. That’s to me the most important thing. But outside of the Fire Country universe, my wheels are always turning — sometimes too to a fault.”

Fire Country airs on CBS Fridays at 9 p.m. ET.

Gayle King quoted an uncensored gay slur while attempting to tell a joke on live TV.

King, 70, made the remark on the Friday, April 4 edition of CBS Mornings during an interview with comedian Matteo Lane, who is openly gay.

In the segment, King where she attempted to retell one of Lane’s standup jokes, who was on the show to promote his cookbook, Your Pasta Sucks.

“Can we talk about the standup? Can I just say one joke? I hope I don’t get in trouble,” King said to Lane, 38.  “You do a riff about white women who approached you, and they said something about cooking, and you said, ‘What in the f——- are you talking about?'”

She added: “I thought that was hilarious. What does that mean?”

Visibly seeming to find the question hilarious, Lane replied, “I love you, Gayle King.”

He continued: “It means exactly what you think it means. White women, they’re fine during the day, but they have one sip of a rosé and they’re like, ‘Tonight’s about me!’ They won’t stop, I’m telling you. Horrible.”

Prior to King quoting the gay slur, Lane had been openly discussing his sexuality with the TV host in the lighthearted segment.

“You embrace being gay and your homosexuality,” King said to Lane. “And I’m wondering — where did this come from? The funniness that you were able to combine with cooking and and your stand-up, too?”

Revealing it felt “natural” for him to combine comedy and cooking, Lane shared a little about how his upbringing contributed to this.

He explained that he hailed from “a large family where you have to have something funny to say or be opinionated, so you have to speak up.”

CBS removed the slur from later feeds of CBS Mornings as well as from YouTube and the show’s social media channels.

Lane appeared to have taken the remark in good humor, reposting the official, censored version via his Instagram.

While some viewers weren’t impressed with King’s comment, including one who described it via X as a “messy move,” some prominent LGBTQ+ celebs reacted positively online.

Bob the Drag Queen shared the clip via X and called King “honestly iconic,” while comedian Jay Jurden weighed in by posting: “Can’t spell Gayle without “Gay.”THE HIGH COUNCIL APPROVES.”

King has hosted CBS Mornings and its predecessor CBS This Morning since January 2012.
