revelers like dominos. those screams and those images. rows of civilians and medics frantically doing cpr. authorities saying at least 154 were killed and 149 injured. there are also americans among the dead. police this morning taking responsibility saying there were only 137 officers on duty as about 100,000 partygoers began pouring out of subways and into the streets of the neighborhood for seoul's first major halloween celebration since the pandemic. by 10:00 p.m. this alleyway becoming a deadly bottleneck. the partiers converged from both ends from the street down here below and from up there and that alleyway is just 14 feet wide. in the middle they were all crushed. there was nowhere to go and no one to control the crowd. american janelle story was trapped inside the crush. >> oh, my god. oh, my god. i just saw in front of me this mass of people running and

pushing and screaming and like panicking. >> reporter: she survived. john was there too. he came back to the scene this morning, describing the surge from behind bending bodies forward. >> like fully forward. >> yeah, forward. >> but like that? >> yeah, she was like that and she was saying, help, help. and we get her hands but we can't get her body because it was so hard because behind they are pushing. >> reporter: australian nathan's friend was also killed. >> i said, i'm going to get you out, but then she disappeared. >> reporter: just after 10:30 first responders began coming in. performing cpr, carrying away victims. many of them shoeless. in the coming hours, the dead placed into those blue body bags lining the street. and in hospitals, the howls of

family members crumbling to the floor. those two americans now identified as ann geese, a nursing student from the university of kentucky and an exchange student from kennesaw state university in georgia. now police telling us that all of the fatalities happened in that alleyway behind us. the youngest was a child still in middle school. and you can see the crowd at the vigil behind me growing, a week of national mourning has been declared here. geo george? >> so sad and horrifying. okay, matt, thanks very much. we'll get the latest on the violent attack on house speaker nancy pelosi's husband in their san francisco home. prosecutors expected to announce multiple charges against the man that violently assaulted paul pelosi with a hammer. paul pelosi now in the hospital recovering from surgery. mola lenghi is in san francisco with the latest. good morning, mola. >> reporter: good morning, george. speaker pelosi saying her husband's condition continues to improve. she issued a statement saying her family is heartbroken and traumatized by the life-threatening attack.

this, as authorities continue to investigate the suspect who's expected to be formally charged today. this morning, multiple felony charges expected against the suspect who police say violently attacked house speaker nancy pelosi's husband in their home friday. >> this was a targeted act on the pelosi home for sure. >> reporter: law enforcement officials now telling abc news the suspect had zip ties and duct tape with him when breaking into the pelosis' home calling out, where's nancy, and while no specific motive has been identified, the circumstances are eerily similar to the january 6th attack, some bringing zip ties into the capitol, attempting to find officials and take them hostage. >> oh, nancy. nancy. >> reporter: pelosi, one of the targets that day and friday. the suspect searching for the house speaker, who was not home in california. >> rp stated that there's a male in the home. rp stated he doesn't know who male is. >> reporter: the san francisco district attorney telling abc

news, the suspect, david depape, broke in through a back door around 2:00 a.m. friday. unable to find the speaker, the suspect allegedly turned his focus to her 82-year-old husband. >> he was able to step away from the suspect for a period of time in order to place that call. >> reporter: paul pelosi able to secretly call 911, keeping the line open so the operator could overhear them speaking. >> i truly believe based on what i know that it was life saving. >> reporter: police responding quickly, walking in just as the attack unfolded. authorities say paul pelosi and the suspect both pulling on a hammer. the suspect able to wrestle it away from pelosi and attack him with it. paul pelosi struck at least twice, fracturing his skull before the suspect was finally taken into custody. the suspect's alleged social media pages show multiple false conspiracy theories with regard to covid-19, the 2020 election and the federal government. elon musk, the new owner of twitter weighing in on the pelosi attack retweeting an article from a newspaper known for publishing false news, in this case about paul pelosi.

in his retweet which was later deleted musk suggested that this basesless article from this website may be true. eva? >> mola lenghi, thank you. let's bring in our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas. good morning, pierre. can you help put this terrible attack in perspective for us, it's part of a bigger picture. >> reporter: eva, good morning. this is an incredibly toxic moment that has been building for years. it's only getting worse. threats against members of congress have more than doubled since 2017. last year nearly 10,000 threats against congress, and that's just a stunning number and threats against federal judges have been surging as well, tripling in that same time frame. this morning, fbi and homeland security officials are out with a new bulletin as we head down the stretch to the midterms. the bulletin says right now there's a heightened threat from radicalized individuals who may target voters, candidates and election workers leading up to the midterms. this potential threat is largely being fueled by hot button issues that divide the nation and the lie that there's been widespread election fraud and we

all know that the election lie was stoked in the 2020 presidential campaign and on january 6th. no specific plot has been identified for the midterms but the pelosi incident shows why u.s. law enforcement is so concerned. robin? >> all right, pierre. and amid these security concerns, of course, the midterm elections just eight days away. thank you, pierre. so much focus is on georgia, a critical battleground state, and last night the candidates for governor met in their final high-stakes debate. steve osunsami is there in atlanta for us. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. both candidates knew they were likely speaking to voters who would cast their votes today. early voting here in georgia continues through the end of the week. in georgia this was their last debate before election day, the sitting republican governor brian kemp and his very famous democratic challenger stacey abrams. >> under brian kemp's four years, crime has gone up, six

hospitals have closed, housing prices are skyrocketing. >> ms. abrams is attacking my record because she doesn't want to talk about her own. >> i have not been in office for the last four years. >> reporter: the issues that divide them, how to fix inflation, concerns over crime and access to abortion. according to every poll abrams is behind and has been so since the summer, and she tried to paint a poor picture of georgia's economy. >> people are feeling economic pain and unfortunately under this governor the pain is only getting worse. >> reporter: this is a governor sitting on a record government surplus and is even credited from sop of his critics by saving small businesses by opening earlier during the covid shut downs. >> americans are hurting right now because of a disastrous policy agenda by joe biden and the democrats. >> reporter: democrats are hoping the issue of abortion will improve their turnout and help decide some of their midterm elections in their favor. >> we have a governor who does not believe in a woman's right to choose.

>> reporter: in georgia sunday night brian kemp dismissed claims that if he wins he will lay down tougher anti-abortion laws. >> it's not my desire to move the needle any further on this issue. >> reporter: but the heat turned up even more over voting rights. >> we have laws in our state that makes it easy to vote and hard to cheat. ms. abrams has spent the last two years, really the last ten years, running around telling you that's not the case. >> reporter: republicans say it can't be more difficult to vote if there's already record voting, more than 1.6 million people. democrats say this is more people trying harder to overcome the new laws. >> the voter suppression that i'm talking about is being felt by georgians every single day. >> reporter: election officials believe in the end the total vote will be greater than the 4 million votes cast during the midterm elections four years ago, but less than the 5 million votes cast in 2020. george? >> steve osunsami, thanks. our new poll that pinpoints the issues likely to determine who controls congress. congressional correspondent rachel scott has the details. good morning, rachel. >> hey, george, good morning.

our latest abc news/ipsos poll asked voters what's the single most important issue for them this election day. take a look, the economy and inflation topping the list. when you add these two numbers together, you get 50% of registered voters who say the economy and inflation is the most important, and this exactly why we're seeing republicans really zero in on this issue in the final stretch, especially in critical states like nevada and in arizona where the state's inflation rate there is higher than the national average. republicans are making a play out west. democrats are on defense and the senate races in those two states are nek and neck, george. >> and, rachel, what about abortion? >> yeah, well, george, let's go back to our latest poll, abortion does rank third. 16% of registered voters say this is the most important issue to them, but even more than that, you have the majority of americans, a little over 60% of registered voters say that abortion should be legal in all or most cases. that serves as a sharp contrast to the restrictive abortion measures that we're seeing sweeping the state. abortion will be on the ballot in five states in november.

california, michigan and vermont will be measures to protect access to abortion. montana and kentucky will be measures to restrict access making this midterm election even more consequential. >> no question about that. rachel scott, thanks very much. eva? we turn now to at least ten reported tornadoes across the gulf coast. ginger is tracking the very latest on the damage this morning. good morning to you, ginger. >> good morning to you, eva. you know, four of those tornados were confirmed, one of them an ef-1. some of this video here from mississippi you can see that rotation starting, it's likely connecting just there at the ground. one of them crossed interstate 10, so this is a really packed area where all those sites of tornadoes were seen. right along the mississippi, alabama coast. then in mississippi we had some damage to a school. thank goodness this happened on a weekend when no one was there. they'll be cleaning that up. they'll probably have some time off until they get things cleaned up. today it's all rain, that tornado threat comes to an end. we just have to look for that rain on our halloween.

that's the big picture. let's go back to robin. >> all right there, ginger, thank you. now to the supreme court hearing arguments today about admissions policies at two top universities. with the fate of affirmative action in higher education on the line, our senior national correspondent terry moran is outside the supreme court with more. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. should race ever be a factor in college admissions? that's the question that's once again come before the supreme court, but this time it's a court with an energized conservative majority that's already demonstrated it's ready and willing to overturn decades of precedent and settled law. a group of students and parents have sued the north carolina and harvard universities alleging the way these schools decides who gets in violates the constitution and federal civil rights law, discriminating against white and asian

students. the schools say that they take a wholistic view of applicants. they use race as one factor among many. to achieve the educational benefits that can come with a diverse student body. in this case it comes before the most diverse supreme court in our history. justice ketanji brown jackson the first black woman on the court has already demonstrated she's keen to engage on these issues in a different way than justice clarence thomas. the real question here, the only question is, how far will that conservative majority go? will they sharply limit affirmative action or outlaw it altogether in college admissions? >> when can we expect a ruling? >> reporter: a ruling likely in a case like this at the very end of the term next june probably. >> thanks so much. eva? now to the world series, the matchup between the astros and the phillys is tied at 1 following a thrilling weekend of baseball. game three is tonight with the series moving to philadelphia for the next three days. and that's where will reeve joins us with a preview.

good morning to you, will. >> reporter: eva, good morning. if you went back in time a month and told phillies fans they would be waking up on halloween morning with a home world series game on deck, they may not have believed you. how about the fact the series is tied 1-1? the 87-win phillies going into houston and stealing game one from the mighty 106-win astros in a shocking fashion. the astros had future hall of fame pitcher justin verlander on the mound. they were up 5-0, and all of a sudden it's 5-5 and the phillies win 6-5 in extra innings. the expected order was restored a bit in game two. astros pitcher hurling a gem and the houston bats waking up early. opening up a big lead they did not relinquish. tonight in game three this place will be rocking. philly is such a great sports town and their fans have been starved for any world series glory in over a decade. the get in price for tickets

among the highest in world series history. can the astros quiet that crowd and quell the phillies' mojo or will it be a house of horrors on halloween? game three tonight, guys. >> thanks, will. and the eagles are undefeated. >> yeah, the phillies having a good sports year. >> they sure are. coming up here on "gma," an arrest in the delphi murders. and elon musk twitter takeover. will there be massive lay-offs? but first, let's go back to ginger. >> good morning to y'all. we have a huge change happening for the pacific northwest, that atmospheric river is taking over and the pattern has shifted. flash flood warnings in a lot of burn scars in washington state. snow and rain all the way to southern california with this one. your local weather now in 30 seconds. three two one happy mono

police say there were only 137 officers on duty with 100,000 partygoers in the streets. in india, military teams and emergency responders are searching for the missing after a bridge collapse, killing at least 132. nearly 200 have been pulled to safety. search and rescue efforts continue. plus, a major shakeup in brazil as the candidate known as lula defeated the incumbent jair bolsonaro to win the presidency by a slim margin. lula part of a corruption scandal, setting the stage for the far right bolsonaro to take office. touchdown trifecta, running back christian mccaffrey. it all began with this trick play. mccaffrey making this short catch, then launching the ball deep for a 34-yard touchdown, then mccaffrey turned receiver making this nine-yard td grab. he finished off the trifecta with this one-yard run into the

end zone. the first player to throw, receive and run for a touchdown in the same game since 2005 and only the fourth player in history. also, that clearly helps because the niners beat the rams. >> oh, by the way. that's it. we've also got a lot more ahead including the latest on elon musk's twitter takeover and what may come next. that's coming up. right now a breakthrough in the delphi double murder investigation. more than five years after those two young girls vanished while hiking, a man is now in custody. officials are expected to announce a major update this morning. alex perez is in delphi, indiana, with the latest. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, george. that press conference started just a short time ago. today is the day so many in this community has been waiting for. this morning, a major development in the unsolved murders of two delphi, indiana, teens. authorities say this man, richard allen, has been taken into custody. >> today is not a day to celebrate. the arrest of richard m. allen of delphi on two counts of

murder is a major step in leading to a conclusion of this long-term and complex investigation. >> reporter: the development a milestone for a case that has been shrouded in mystery since february 13, 2017 when 13-year-old abby williams and 14-year-old libby german disappeared after going tofor a hike. the bodies of the best friends were found the next day on valentine's day. >> we've never forgotten them. everybody will keep them in their minds forever. >> reporter: even with thousands of tips since the murders, their killer has been at large despite a digital trail left by libby capturing this grainy video on her phone. authorities believe it shows their killer along with this chilling recording thought to be his voice. >> guys, down the hill. >> how did this come to light almost five years after this crime was committed? something broke in recent days, at least to the point that it gave them enough probable cause

evidence to arrest this new person. >> reporter: investigators told me in the past the suspect was likely a member of the community. >> the difference now between now and day one is we know about you, a lot about you. >> reporter: that suspect we ne charged with two counts of murder. authorities insist it's an ongoing investigation and say they're still working to collect evidence and paint a clear picture of what happened here. guys? >> okay, alex, thanks very much. let's bring in our chief legal analyst, dan abrams. the arrest on friday but we don't know much more. >> part of that is trying to get all their ducks in a row for today, and today is going to be the big announcement where i think, as we just heard, they'll be bringing together the family members, and we'll hear exactly what the charges are but this is an astonishing development in this case. i mean, this is a case where you had one witness first, based on where the body was found and the alibi that fell through. everybody was thinking that's

the guy. then they move on to somebody else. the last person who may have had a conversation online with the girls, a potential pedophile. okay, that also seemed like a promising lead and that's not who they're talking about either. now you're talking about a totally new person here who may not have been considered as a possible suspect but again likely was in that community which is what they've always believed from the beginning. >> it's been five years. you mentioned police have talked about and looked into several men. this person is not one of those. what do you think we're going to hear today? >> we'll get the specifics at least to some degree of how they ended up on this person, right? there's a lot of questions now about, you know, where did this person come from, and as brad was mentioning in the piece, what suddenly came about this many years later to make this person a suspect? it had to be something to do with either a new witness, new information. something has been developed that has allowed them to come forward with this level of conviction to say, this is our

guy. >> and we can't help but remember libby's cell phone video. you saw a potential suspect, also heard from him. do you think that in the end could have been very helpful? >> first of all, i think it's really important to remember, you're bringing that up again. this is a 12-year-old who had the wherewithal to get her camera out and take an image of this guy and audio of this guy which has become a critical piece of evidence in this case. and i just think we'll see exactly how important it was. it's obviously a critical piece of evidence, but every time i think about libby sitting there with her camera getting that final moment, it gives me chills. and so, look, for those of us who followed this case, it's really, really good to know that there's at least some sort of conclusion expected today. >> for those families. >> absolutely, absolutely. >> all right, dan, thank you.

we're going to move on now to elon musk's takeover of twitter. he wasted no time in firing the top executives. chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis joins us now with what we know. what do we know? rebecca, good morning. >> nice to see you, robin. there's a lot of moving parts here. elon musk, the richest man in the world who also owns tesla and rocket company spacex wasted no time firing the ceo, cfo and twitter's head of legal and policy who oversaw content moderation. they're preparing for more aggressive layoffs at the 7,500-person company. "the washington post" reporting that 25% of the staff will be cut in the first round, and musk responding over the weekend to "the new york times" article that he's laying off employees before a november 1st deadline so he doesn't have to pay them as much. with this tweet, this is false. but this morning, there are still big questions. musk has said he wants twitter to be a digital town square for free speech. he's previously vowed to remove permanent bans, including the

one placed on former president donald trump. now that musk is actually in charge, it doesn't look like that will happen any time soon. instead musk says he's forming a content moderation council with diverse viewpoints and he won't make any major decisions about banned accounts before then. >> he's also made appeals to advertisers, rebecca? >> he has, robin, and that's because he has to. advertising is twitter's main source of revenue. musk tweeted reassurance that twitter obviously cannot become a free for all hellscape where anything can be said with no consequences. musk says the company will revise how it verifies users. in the meantime, while some users have celebrated the takeover, including conservative podcast host ben shapiro, who said he saw a spike in new followers, others have threatened to leave the platform in protest.

"people" magazine reporting brady spent time with his children over the weekend,

taking them to a movie. >> the source told "people" that, you know, they have very much not had the same goal when it comes to their relationship as a couple, but they do have the same goals when it comes to their children. >> reporter: it's been a year of change for brady. in february, the 45-year-old seven-time super bowl champ announcing he was retiring from football to spend more time with his wife and children only to change his mind, abruptly unretiring 40 days later. bundchen reportedly was not happy with that decision. >> she's talked about this for at least five years that she wanted him to retire and i think that, yes, reversing course and deciding you're going to prolong it kind of prolongs the, you know, what are we doing? when is this going to happen? >> reporter: since then brady struggled on the field. his tampa bay buccaneers off to his worst start ever. he told a podcast last week he has no plans to quit mid season. >> there's no immediate retirement in my future. i told them in march i was playing and i've never quit on anything in my life. >> reporter: bundchen, who retired from the runway in 2015 to spend more time with her family last month telling "elle" magazine she's ready for what's

next saying, quote, i feel very fulfilled as a mother and as a wife, and now it's going to be my turn. >> they both came into their marriage both very wealthy and successful. so i'm assuming they'll each take what they came into the marriage with and find an equitable way to divide what they earned together during the marriage. >> the divorce was filed on friday by gisele and brady didn't contest it and according to those documents, they had already reached a settlement agreement and a parenting plan too. they're expected to continue co-parenting their kids. >> good for them they were able to keep it as private as that. all right, trevor, thanks so much. coming up later, matthew perry is here live. he's talking about his candid new memoir. next, will it be a trick or will it be a treat? we do know it's our "play of the day." come on back.

be aware of colorless, scentless and odorless drugs being placed into drinks of unsuspecting suspects. the community is now banding together. >> i woke up at 6:30 in the morning and i had no idea what had happened. i didn't know where i was. >> reporter: this morning, boston police issuing another safety warning after more women came forward alleging their drinks were spiked with dangerous drugs. in june, sarah soloman said she attended a concert with friends after a third round of drinks at the venue's bar said her memory of the night goes dark. >> i couldn't stand up. i basically had to sit on the sidewalk and i just started getting sick like uncontrollably. >> reporter: according to soloman she became incapacitated as friends tried to take her home, the next day she was hospitalized. >> even in the hospital i was still throwing up, so i mean, it was like the worst hangover. >> reporter: another woman shared a similar experience with our boston affiliate wcvb, the

woman who didn't want to be named said she was terrified after an alleged drugging incident in cambridge. >> all of a sudden i felt so drunk, and then i collapsed, and my memory was hazy, in and out. i did end up in the emergency room. i couldn't stop shaking and i couldn't stop throwing up. >> reporter: concerns of a rise in spiked drinks led melanie hubbard to open a facebook page with more and more people coming forward. >> people don't feel safe anymore. people don't want to go to the bar because they hear what happened to their friend. >> the group already has close to 8,000 followers. >> i hope it spreads that awareness and forces these people at these establishes to come forward. >> reporter: abc news contributor and securities expert brad garrett said drink spiking has always been prevalent. but this new rise in reported incidents might mean people are more empowered to speak out. >> it is a crime that's big time unreported, and so as a result, we don't really know the names.

>> reporter: saar sarah soloman says she filed a police report and hopes sharing her story will keep this from happening to someone else. >> i just turned 40. i'm not a college kid. i'm not a party animal. make sure you keep your wits about you. >> reporter: and garrett said it's important to keep an eye on your drink and surround yourself with trusted friends. adding, if something feels off, put that drink down immediately. lara. >> thank you so much. we're going to turn now to making your groceries last longer. becky worley has game-changing tips on preservation and how to lower your grocery bills, all this as prices for fruits and veggies are up an average 10%. so, beck, tell us what we can do. >> reporter: lara, when i go to the grocery store, i feel squeezed. i know i should be buying lots of fruits and veggies for healthy eating but produce is so expensive, and i know that i'm not always able to use it before it goes bad. but good news, there are simple ways to make your fruits and veggies last longer.

groceries, you buy them, bag them and bring them home. you're done, right? wrong. how you unload your groceries specifically your produce can significantly impact its longevity. let's start with bananas. keep them in room temperature out of direct sunlight. if they have plastic wrap on the stem, leave that on. it slows aging and keep them away from other fruit. they put off ethylene gas that causes other produce to ripen faster. i know it looks pretty, but just say no to the fruit bowl concept. onions can also cause other produce to go bad faster. especially potatoes so while both should be stored in a cool, dry place like your pantry, keep them separated. for fridge rated produce, greens need to breathe, you want them loose in a large container so that moisture and condensation don't form.

water does wonder for veggies like celery and carrots. makes them easier to snack on, too. broccoli can be treated like fresh flowers and given the water treatment too. but berries are the opposite. don't wash them before you put them in the fridge, the same with apples. don't wash them before refrigeration and when you store them, push them way back. they like the temperature cold and consistent. a few more tips, a plastic ziploc bag could save you a bunch. when i see veg gets getting towards the end of its days, it's time to make soup and the all-purpose paper towel can also make a big difference. in your veggie drawers if you put some on the bottom and change them out every few weeks they can absorb condensation and moisture to keep your vegetables fresh longer. lara. >> such great tips.

beck, thank you so much. george. >> okay, lara. a look at this week's power trip. the midterms are just a week away. in the home stretch momentum is with the republicans as voters are telling our embeds that the economy is driving their decision. i spoke about how the democrats should handle it with strategist james carville. >> this is traditional midterm. do you think everything will break one way at the end. >> they generally do. i hope i'm wrong. you know, post-labor day, the democrats haven't been good, not focused. they had an opportunity and i think we -- let's wait and see. >> how about on the economy, i mean it's got to be your most famous line, it's the economy, stupid. >> stay focused. talk about what matters to people, it's the economy, stupid. >> any way to get ahead of that when you have inflation at 7%, 8%? >> you c't pivot it. it's there. you can't ignore it.

we had opportunities last week, a week ago, kevin mccarthy said we're going to shut down the government down to force cuts to social security and medicare. let's talk about the economy. >> make it an argument. >> shutting the government down is bad for the economy. that's not a good economic move at all. an elderly person on a fixed income and you're going to say in the middle of inflation, we're going to cut your social security check. they just give you an opening and the democrats should have been very proactive. >> saw that old footage there, james and i first worked together on the clinton campaign. "power trip" is on hulu. new episodes drop every sunday. let's go to ginger. >> all right, george. i want to introduce you to freddie mercury and elton john. freddie, give us your move. yes. these are my sons. this is adrian and miles. miles, what's our favorite elton john song? >> "yellow brick road." >> "tiny dancer." >> we rock.

getting sober? is iemotionaor physical? >> it's the emotional and it's the physical. it's obsession of your mind. and a physical -- the part that's an allergy to the body, so what basically happens is you have a drink because you're obsessed with having a drink and then your body goes, oh, you activated us, so let me have a lot more, so the alcoholic is in charge of the first drink but after that there's no telling what they'll do. >> now you're sponsoring a few folks in recovery. i imagine that's a very meaningful experience. >> yes, what's interesting about it is i've stood on a stage helping 100,000 people at the same time, but i get the same juice, i get the same thing from helping one person and how far down the scale i've gone, which

is all a part of this book, that's how low i can then help people. if they've gone through anything close to what i've gone through, i can come in and help. >> i saw your eyes light up when you talked about getting the juice when you're helping someone. how do you know when you're getting through? >> there's a light that comes on in people's eyes when they get it. you know, a lot of people have alcoholism and don't know that they do, and they're wondering why they drink so much. i was that way early on. >> you didn't know? >> i didn't know because i had to keep it a secret because i didn't understand really what was going on, but there were certain lines in the big book of alcoholics anonymous that made me more aware because i thought i was alone in this. i thought my thinking was very weird, and i thought i was alone then i read a passage

in the big book that said drinkers think they're trying to escape but really what they're trying to do is get over an illness that they don't know they have. and i read that and went, oh, there's 30 million people that think like me. >> that makes sense. you're clearly not alone. you're getting a lot of reaction as well since diane's special came out on friday. i want to read some of them. one person writes, it had to be so hard for him to do this. but he wanted to help people by telling his story. i hope he knows that he's loved. and another says, i've been rooting for this guy for a while hoping he has a firm footing on his new recovery journey. where do you have find the strength, this person asks, to talk about your experiences? >> it was a very gratifying experience to write the book, it just all poured out of me. >> it came easily once you started? >> it came easily to write it but then i had to read it for the audible part of it, and that was really hard, reading it, and

sort of -- >> that's when you lived it. >> yeah, and sort of disassociating a bit and then thinking to myself, oh, god, what a terrible, hard life this guy has had, and then i realized, it's me i'm talking about. >> you're smiling now, but did you have to mourn for that person? >> i felt very sorry for that person because i know what was going on in his head, and it all had to be a secret and, you know, i was on a show that a lot of people were watching trying to have nobody know that. >> your friends who you were on the show with including jennifer aniston and lisa kudrow, you talk about how they helped you. any co-stars read your book yet? >> i hope they do. i've gotten some really nice texts from a few of them already and the book isn't even out yet. so, hopefully, more, you know,

very important to me that no one -- i didn't go after anyone and i wasn't gossipy. >> you guys shared an amazing experience. >> we sure did. >> matthew perry, thanks for coming in. >> all right. >> "friends, lovers and the big terrible thing" is out tomorrow. and if you or someone you care about is struggling with substance abuse disorder, confidential help is available at treatment.gov. we'll be right back.

♪ i got you, moonlight, you're my starlight ♪ we got you right now because we're kicking off wakanda week on "gma." "black panther: wakanda forever" had its world premiere a few days ago on the west coast and people are using words like epic, heartfelt, triumph and we're happy to have one of its many stars, danai gurira and writer/director ryan coogler. would you please give it up for these two right here? [ applause ] whoa! i went to a screening last week with a bunch of folks. i wish you two and the entire cast and crew could have seen our reaction to this beautiful film, now, ghana -- i almost called you ghana. we were in ghana last month. you said your three words to describe it were -- you will love -- >> did you love? >> i can elaborate a littl

i can say absolutely it is epic, it's transformative, and it's healing. >> yeah, what would be the three words -- as i was trying to describe -- how do you do it, ryan? >> yeah, three words you said? >> give me three. >> i was thinking about it back there. it's tough for me because you know i've been working on this film for four years, you know, with a lot of incredible collaborators like danai, the most talented people i know all gave everything to this movie and we put a lot of our own lives in it, our hopes and our dreams in it, you know. so i would say three words, love, life and hope. that's what i would say. >> i'd say cast, crew, phenomenal. >> right on. >> i mean, really. i could not mean that more and, ryan, to think about --

after the passing of chadwick bozeman, you already had a script in place. had you to rewrite the entire script and honor his legacy. how did you go about doing that? >> that's a great question. i had a phenomenal team, and i had a lot of help, i had a co-writer who's great, great producers, nate moore and kevin feige. they were all supportive and what was great about the first film, we formed a family, so i had a good idea of what folks would be willing to do and not willing to do. these are all very strong-minded people like danai, and they don't do things if it doesn't have integrity or if they don't think they can pull it off. so i just thought about that and thought about what would honor chad the best, what he would want us to do, what made sense and we just worked at it and tried to make something that people could best into and make something for our audience.

we thought the audience would connect with. >> oh, my gosh. and you did it. you were able to do that. did you have to lean -- like a family you're watching on screen. you're all leaning on each other? >> absolutely. we were there for each other and we needed to be because there was a journey of grief and loss we were navigating as we did this to honor our brother, and there was a lot of times -- you never knew when and how you would need more support on which day and being around one another was the key thing. sometimes it was a day you were there for someone. som sometimes it was someone there for you. also enjoying each other's work, i remember being on set, leticia would be doing a scene and it was just about being there and triumphing with her triumphs because watching what she was doing was giving me joy. just to be there and experience the film from all the ways it

was coming together was also very nurturing. >> we'll show the two on screen together with leticia. here's a little bit of "wakanda forever." >> i'm warning you, don't take another step toward me. >> see how they teach the children to treat their guests. >> oh. >> you brought a spirit in here. >> i like her. >> hey, hey, hey. put it down. put it -- you'll hurt yourself. come on. >> it's all right, princess. >> small, small -- i'm going to give you two options. you can come to wakanda conscious or unconscious. >> i love the newcomers who came into the film. but also can i just appreciate the humor. it's like you knew as the audience when we needed to -- ooh -- exhale and that subtle humor like that but the women of

wakanda, danai, how honored are you to play? >> very honored. it's really joyous, glorious to be part of the world as a woman because from the jump and something that ryan was very clear about is that these women should live in society where they are fully at their fullest potential, doing what they do in the world without any hindrances and really create a paradigm like that is really unprecedented to see, and so to be a part of them journeying into their next chapter allows them to be more complex and go through situations which grows them as characters, normalizing characters like this being different things. being leaders. navigating stories. allowing many people to be seen. >> it was so substantive. there was such substance there in everyone.

the music, can we talk about, oh, by the way, the music, ryan, and rihanna, and you said you think that because she was a mother, that it really helped her to make the decision to be a part of this. >> yeah, yeah, absolutely, and obviously music is important to these movies. working with the people, yeah, kendrick on the first film and on this one we wanted to find another artist that could meet us thematically where the film was at, and rihanna was someone we saw coming of age over her career, a solo artist since we met her and we've seen her go through trials and tribulations, incredible timing that she would become a mom during the time we were working on this movie and motherhood is a massive theme in this movie and it was incredible at a time hearing the song for the first time was really brilliant. we worked on the song on multiple continents and multiple countries.

we had timbs contribute, and when we finally heard it i was moved. she said, you did it for chad. i wanted to honor his family and it was another example of the gifts they keeps giving us and keeps giving our audience, even from beyond the physical. he's still giving back to us. >> he really is and you truly have honored him in this film and horsnored each other. thank you, thank you so much for being here. it was a great way to kick off the week and we'll have much more from both ryan and danai in "black panther: in search of wakanda" on friday on abc. we'll really get into the nitty-gritty. "black panther: wakanda forever" premieres on the big screens november 11th. tomorrow, lupita, lupita nyong'o is going to be here. so much ahead. let's go back now to ginger. >> thanks, robin.
