I think it's safe to say that tonight's special Corriedale episode was fast paced filled with a lot of twists and turns along the way for us viewers. The episode of Emmerdale set up Corriedale brilliantly displaying how and why certain characters ended up where they did, whilst also remaining to give little away which many beautifully captured shots delivered. But Aaron telling John “You're nobody, you're deluded you really think I'd chose you over Robert? He's everything to me. He's the love of my life and he's 10 times the man you'll ever be” really made me smile. Knowing that Corriedale was written by Owen Lloyd-Fox and directed by Duncan Foster - I knew this special cross-over episode was going to be great as Duncan is one of my favourite directors who delivers brilliant visuals - all the little nods on both shows pre-Corriedale were interesting to see.

Over the past two weeks, Emmerdale have absolutely smashed the festive episodes of the Yorkshire based soap with the right amount of drama, and festivities. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale Last week saw a tough but drama filled week for all involved not before Aaron continued to support Robert with his journey on with getting his son, Seb back in their lives following Robert officially moving in,  giving us an emotional Robert along with a protective and supportive Aaron, whilst also showing fans that things have changed as neither character are holding back secrets this time around. Christmas Day was a super festive episode from the Dingle family as the moment Robert disappeared but  Chas' reference of Weatherfield got me excited for the crossover. There was a kind of nostalgia that I loved as it reminded me why I love Emmerdale as a soap with the attention to the little details especially within Aaron's speech “This year's been a bit, even by our standards it's been a w...

Whilst at the same time, Becky Swain flees from her past with Lisa and Betsy Swain as she loses control of her vehicle, triggering a multi-car pile-up on a stormy road between Hotten and Weatherfield.  This all sounds exciting and I still have so many questions that I need answers to.

One thing soaps do really well is a Christmas Episode and Emmerdale is the one soap that usually manages to make me want to sit down and watch the episode after busy Christmas Day and this year, I don't think will be any different. The Emmerdale residents gather outside The Woolpack for a mulled wine on Christmas Morning  - what community Christmassy feel. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale Aaron Dingle is left completely puzzled when Robert Sugden heads off on a mystery errand, however, it's not long before Victoria Sugden and Aaron are increasingly concerned as Robert appears to have vanished on Christmas Day.  Why am I excited to see where this goes. Speaking of Christmas Day, Robert heading off on a mysterious errand with Danny Miller teasing how Aaron feels   “Aaron's suspicious, but more worried he's leaving when Robert knows there is somebody actively trying to kill one of them or both of them. So, I think he's worried about where he is going on Christmas Day absol...

Since Catherine Tyldesley returned to our screens on Monday 27th October, 2025 as Eva Price, it's been clear that the Driscolls are holding a secret. When aske about how she felt about her character and the Driscolls taking centre stage at Christmas, Catherine Tyldesley shared  “Thrilled, I love the soaps at Christmas. You've got to tune in on Christmas Day, haven't you?”  Before continuing  “You know that it’s going to be pretty explosive. And so, I was just absolutely chuffed to bits that they wanted to run that storyline for Christmas Day, and we had a lot of fun doing the storyline. I'm obsessed with Christmas, so it was nice to start Christmas super early. And I've got to say as well, Aaron and Pauline are just absolutely outstanding in their performances on Christmas Day. They really are. So it was a real treat.” Talking about the tension being Eva and Maggie, how would you describe it? Catherine explained  “It's boiling point on Christmas Day. Eva and Mag...

Today (Friday 5th December) Canadian singer-songwriter,  Tenille Arts  release her brand new single, Don't Ruin Flowers. Don;t Run Flowers was written by Tenille Arts alongside Ryan Kohn and Lydia Sutherland with Ryan also producing the track. Photo Credit: Joey Brodnax Don't Ruin Flowers  begins with a beautiful guitar instrumental complimenting Tenille's soft vocals wonderfully with the heartfelt lyrics being sung. Don't Ruin Flowers is one meaningful song that from the very moment Tenille starts you are hit with such vulnerability that makes for some hard-hitting moments especially in the chorus as you get this layer of vulnerable hitting you (or at least it did me) talking about a relationship that went wrong. I have nothing but praise for the vulnerability that Tenille delivers throughout. The fact that song shows how a certain type of flower can represent certain moments in our lives as well as hold precious moments that you never want to forget. The ...

I wasn't sure that I was even going to write this blog let alone share it, but how could I not when it was a big episode for Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden known as Robron to their loyal fans. From the very moment Kev Townsend was revealed as Robert Sugden's husband there has been trouble, however tonight's episode (Thursday 27th November) was brilliant viewing as Kev set out for revenge, but sneaking into Aaron Dingle's flat was when the drama began having discovered Robert was there much to his shock. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale You have to love the fact that Aaron is determined to tell Kev about them saying “If nothing's gonna happen with the police or Kev, we need to just tell him we're back together!” displaying that they're ready to be out in the open regarding their relationship instead of sneaking around worrying about Kev. The reassurance that Robert and Aaron gave to one another throughout the episode was great showing a lot of character developme...

Robert in a clever way tries to glean where Kev Townsend hid his loot from last week's robbery.

Robert and Aaron grimly reflect on the likeliness of finding Kev's stolen loot.

Today (Friday 14th November) singer-songwriter,  Ashley Cooke  has released her brand-new project called ace which is made up of 9 tracks. The tracks were all co-written by Ashley and produced by Dann Huff. Getting Old  opens up this era of Ashley Cooke music beautifully with Ashley's softer tone with some vulnerability lyrics that bought a tear to my eye as it's one of those growing up song that makes you appreciate your parents even more than you ever thought you could and would. The way that the lyrics grow as the song develops is a testament to Ashley's songwriting skills - I have a feeling this will be a hit with many fans. The depth of the meaningful lyrics are special and deserve a lot of praise. Ashley's vocal tones are stunningly timed. Baby Blues  is a fun and bluesy sounding track whilst remaining truthful and honest about her feelings and the emotions that come with it. The song has many flirty moments that show playful side to this wonderful artist as we...
