The Star-Telegram service team covered a range of stories over the past week, from a Hollywood actor’s frustration with a Paramount+ series to a new Fort Worth candy shop and renters’ rights under Texas law. Here’s a quick digest of the top stories readers followed.
Ed Harris told Variety he felt “misled” and “inconsequential” about his role as Everett McKinney on “Dutton Ranch,” saying he was told he’d be one of four main characters but ended up wanting out halfway through filming season 1. He even considered voiding his contract after a singing scene was cut from episode 2, though he’s been told his role will expand in season 2, which begins filming in February 2027.Lukas and Crimson Nathanson are opening a plockgodis-style Swedish candy store at 3613 W. Vickery Blvd. in Fort Worth, bringing the “pick and mix” tradition to North Texas. The couple is importing more than 13,000 pounds of candy directly from Scandinavia to ensure authenticity, since Swedish candy sold at U.S. retailers is often made in Mexico.Texas renters dealing with piled-up trash have legal options under the state’s repair and remedy statute, which requires landlords to keep apartments free from hazards like rodents. Tenants who are current on rent can submit repair requests by certified mail, and if landlords don’t respond within about seven days, renters can file complaints with city code compliance or pursue a lawsuit in justice court.
