NEED TO KNOW

• Gerry Turner shares details on his proposal to Lana Sutton, including the inspiration for her diamond ring

• The Golden Bachelor announced his engagement on Oct. 3, roughly 15 months after his divorce from Teresa Nist

• “He did like a little magic trick,” Sutton said of her fiancé

Gerry Turner made sure his proposal to Lana Sutton was magical.

On the Tuesday, Oct. 28 episode of the 

The Golden Bachelor said he “had a basic idea” of what he and Sutton wanted when they went to their jeweler, but it was their love for travel that inspired the design for her diamond.

“We went to London and Paris, and I saw the Eiffel Tower. And it was spectacular that night. We woke up, you know, put those shades up, and there it was sparkling in front of us,” he said of their summer vacation together.

Turner shared photos of their Euro trip in a couple of Instagram carousels, detailing the U.K. portion in a July 7 post followed by a July 10 Paris recap.

During the podcast, he said after getting back and speaking with the jeweler again, he had one request: “I want the side of Lana's engagement ring to look like the Eiffel Tower.”

“I sat down with him. I said, ‘This is the design I really wanna have,’” Turner said, adding that it was complete “a couple weeks later.”

“They executed it perfectly,” he continued. Turner held onto the ring for “three [or] four weeks” while he decided how he wanted to propose.

Sutton said though they’d discussed it, she had no idea it was coming.

“I had no idea when he actually proposed that it was gonna happen then,” she said.

“We have taken a lot of trips. And so we had gone to Niagara Falls about a month or two ago. And that being the honeymoon capital, everybody thought, I think when we went, that was going to happen then,” Sutton said. “I didn't know when it was going to happen.”

They were on another vacation heading to Myrtle Beach, but stopped in Asheville to break up the drive when Turner proposed in their hotel room using solo cups and Post-it notes.

“He did like a little magic trick,” she said. “There were some questions that he kind of guessed my thoughts. And then there was another piece of paper that said, ‘Will you marry me?’”

“I rehearsed the magic trick a half a dozen times,” Turner added. “I had two solo cups, and under one solo cup was the wedding ring.”

“When [Lana] guessed the correct answer, then the last Post-it note said, ‘Will you marry me?’”

Sutton said the moment was “emotional because there's a lot of feelings there.”

The couple, who shared the news on Oct. 3, said their wedding date hasn’t been finalized: “We really haven't talked about any plans yet. I think we're just sort of basking in the engagement and working out some details as far as his house.”

Why Did Stephanie Arcila Leave ‘Fire Country’? Here's the Truth Behind Her Season 4 Exit

As Fire Country continues to air every Friday night on CBS, it's hard not to notice a fan-favorite character missing.

For those who tuned into the season 4 premiere earlier in October, they may remember seeing Gabriela Perez (played by Stephanie Arcila) leave Edgewater in the aftermath of the fire that killed Vince Leone (portrayed by 

Billy Burke). She also offered to help recruit potential first responders for Cal Fire around the U.S., as she's trying to figure her feelings out for Bode Leone (

Max Thieriot). And even though she has emotional ties to Edgewater and everyone she'd leave behind (like her dad Manny, played by Kevin Alejandro), it was clear she needed to do this for herself and take the risk.

Given how Gabriela's influence on the CBS drama has drawn viewers in over the course of the show, it does leave us wondering why Stephanie Arcila left Fire Country. 

As it turns out, the show's higher-ups alluded to Stephanie's exit earlier in the year.

When executive producer/co-creator 

Joan Phelan and showrunner Tia Napolitano spoke to Deadline about Gabriela after the season 3 finale, they explained how they hoped to take Fire Country in a different direction for season 4.

"It really just comes down to what’s best creatively," Joan explained in April 2025.

"There’s danger in this sort of job, so we wanted to honor that and really up the stakes," Tia added in the same interview. "You want the opportunity for that door to open, for someone to walk out of it, or for someone to walk into it. We’re really leaning into that aspect of the show as well as honoring the authenticity."

Fire Country has proven that point well, with Bode questioning his future and his mom Sharon Leone (Diane Farr) trying to grieve the loss of her husband. But what does this mean for Stephanie and the potential to see her back on the show?

While it's unclear if Gabriela will ever return to Edgewater, Stephanie did note there's always a chance for the paramedic to make an appearance.

"I never say never," she stated in a separate 

Deadline interview in April 2025. "Life takes us through so many avenues, and Gabriela is such a gift to me in my career, personally and professionally ... As for the future, I’ve learned that these writers always surprise me, and I have no expectations, just excitement."

Well, keeping this in mind, we definitely would love to see Gabriela—and subsequently, Stephanie—back our on TV screens. And who knows? We're keeping our fingers crossed for Gabriela to find her romantic happily ever after with Bode in the future.
