Once Upon a Time is getting a visit from one of the gods of hell, the Greek lord of the underworld, Hades. When the series heads to hell in the 100th episode, they'll be greeted by Greg Germann as Disney's version of Hades.

The character appeared in Hercules, voiced by James Woods in the 1997 Disney animated film. EW revealed Germann's look, including the signature blue flames atop his head, with some quotes from those involved.

"Anything goes," Germann said of the character. "The creators bring him to life on the page with the same out-of-the-box unpredictability that they bring to the rest of the show. They strike the perfect balance between keeping things grounded and letting things fly — sometimes literally."

Going into the underworld means they'll also see some characters who've shuffled the mortal coil return, including Cora, Cruelle de Vil, and Peter Pan, played by Robbie Kay fresh off his run of Heroes Reborn.

India's Tata faces pressure in Starbucks joint venture as consumers cut back
(Reuters) -India's Tata Consumer Products will push back plans for some new Starbucks store openings until later in its existing schedule as fewer customers are walking into its cafes in the world's most populous country, its top boss said on Monday. "We will calibrate for the short term — maybe instead of opening 100, we will open 80 now, and next year we will open 120 instead of 100," Tata Consumer CEO Sunil D'Souza told Reuters, adding that Tata Starbucks is still focused on reaching its 2028 goal to operate 1,000 stores by 2028. City dwellers in India are cutting spending on everything from cookies and coffee to fast food as persistently high inflation squeezes middle class budgets, with wages failing to keep pace.

UK clears Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky to buy Royal Mail
LONDON (Reuters) -Britain on Monday cleared Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky's EP Group to buy Royal Mail in a 3.57 billion pound ($4.5 billion) deal, after securing commitments that the government said would protect one of the world's oldest postal services. EP Group agreed to acquire Royal Mail parent International Distribution Services (IDS) in May, but the British government said in August it would scrutinise the deal due to the national importance of the service. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said EP Group had committed to protect Royal Mail's postal network, and he had secured a "golden share" that would ensure its headquarters remained in Britain and it would continue to pay UK taxes.

UK employers cut staffing, turn more pessimistic as budget bites
LONDON (Reuters) -British businesses cut staffing by the most since the COVID pandemic and reported the sharpest confidence drop also since the lockdowns, according to two surveys that placed much of the blame on the new government's tax increases. The preliminary S&P Global Flash Composite Purchasing Managers' Index for December and a quarterly survey by manufacturing body MakeUK, both published on Monday, added to other signs of a slowdown in the economy linked to the Oct. 30 budget of finance minister Rachel Reeves. Excluding the pandemic period, the fall in employment was the sharpest since the global financial crisis in 2009.
