*OPINION* ARE ROBERT AND AARON ON THEIR WAY BACK TO ONE ANOTHER?

Image
The past few weeks have seen Emmerdale's beloved character Aaron Dingle go through a lot at the hands of John Sugden but there has been one character that has tried to save him and that is his ex-husband, Robert Sugden who let's be honest would do anything to save his true love. Viewers have been through a rollercoaster of emotions from Aaron falling of the gorge, Aaron being in hospital, and admitting the truth about John and his actions to Robert being arrested, but then being released as well as being desperate to know that his ex-husband, Aaron was safe and well finally leading to Aaron being released from hospital.

However, when Robert was released during last Friday's episode, (19th September) following Mackenzie giving his account of what John di...

ALBUM REVIEW - COLBIE CAILLAT - THIS TIME AROUND

Image
Today (Friday 26th September) will see singer-songwriter, Colbie Caillat  releases her latest album called This Time Around featuring some of Colbie's classic tracks. With Colbie Caillat being a massive part of my childhood and her music helped me through an extremely really tough time, and to hearing this stripped back version of many classic Colbie Caillat songs. This Time Around is an duet based album featuring 12 songs and is released via Blue Jean Baby Record. Fallin' For You  with Maren Morris is a brilliant female empowerment song that sees both Colbie and Maren's voices work wonderfully well together with both artists having a great understanding of the songs lyrics and bringing their own story to the song.  Brighter Than The Sun  with Walker Hayes is an old Colbie classic that I love as it reminds me of summer days with all the memories that they bring along with the summer relationships we all probably had with Colbie bringing an uplifting version.  Ki...

NEXT WEEK ON EMMERDALE: ROBERT RECEIVES A MYSTERY VISITOR

Image
Since Robert Sugden returned on our screens earlier this year, and in recent episodes he has wanted to protect his one true love, Aaron Dingle, however next week sees Robert receive a mystery visit from a man!  Why do I spell trouble? With a mystery man arriving in the Yorkshire Dales to see Robert in the village he first appears asking for directions. Following the mystery man's arrival, Robert is stunned to answer a knock at the door to a familiar face. Checking that no-one of the street is watching, Robert allows the mystery man in. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale It soon becomes apparent that the mystery man is an acquaintance from prison. Later, Victoria Sugden walks in and sees her brother holding hands with a man that isn't Aaron leaving Victoria confused and who can blame her, I am confused writing this! There has to be more to this visit which I will be interesting to learn as we don't really know about Robert's time in prison. Finally after getting rid of him, Ro...

Image
This week's interview is with singer-songwriter,  MaRynn Taylor  who last month released her debut album, MaRynn. Hi MaRynn. It's wonderful to be speaking with you today, how are you? I am doing so well thank you for asking! Can I please ask you to introduce yourself to our readers?  Hi y'all! I'm MaRynn Taylor and I'm a country music singer and songwriter from Nashville, TN! Last month, you released your debut album, MaRynn - how excited are you to have the album you worked so hard on out there? It's really exciting to finally have it out! Most of these songs are songs I've been working on this past year, but it feels like I've been working on my debut album my whole life. It's definitely been a crazy ride to get here to this moment! The album is made up of 12 tracks, how did you decide on what songs you wanted to feature? A lot of these songs are pretty vulnerable and close to my heart, so once I felt a little uncomfortable about people hearing som...

*OPINION* WHY ZOE SLATER'S ARRIVAL WAS GENIUS TIMING AND WHY KAT AND ZOE'S REUNION WAS WORTH THE WAIT IN 2025

As someone who grew up watching EastEnders and loving the Slater family growing up as they were the key family for me along with the Mitchells and Brannings. Getting to witness the return of Zoe Slater played by the character's original actress, Michelle Ryan for me was brilliant and even though her return was no surprise the quickness of her arrival was, but it was brilliant to see Stacey Slater apart of Zoe's return after 20 years during Monday 16th June's episode. However, during her first return I was very excited to learn more about the character's backstory which has happened a little over the past few episodes as I was extremely interested to see why she is now, the way she is as Zoe has always been a complexed character, and I think continuing her struggles is a great idea. Following on from Zoe's arrival back to our screen during the final scene of last Thursday's episode (28th August) after Tommy Moon went looking for his auntie, however, it was during...

INTERVIEW WITH SYDNEY MARTIN ABOUT BETSY'S 18TH AND THE FAMILY DYNAMIC

Image
During next week's episodes to Weatherfield, Coronation Street viewers will see Betsy Swain turn 18, and actress Sydney Martin recently spoke about her character's milestone, and what an eventful week the character is set to have. When Sydney Martin was asked about how do you think Betsy is feeling about her 18th birthday, with the actress commenting  "I think it's an interesting one because it's a milestone birthday, it obviously brings up a lot of emotions. She doesn't have her other mum with her to celebrate and because of that she's had to do a lot of growing up quite quickly."  Before continuing  "So as much as it's exciting and she does want that freedom I think it's probably a bit of a shock that this big birthday is here. She's officially an adult but she feels like she's missing what should be quite a big part of her life in her other mum and Mason, and I don't think she really knows how to handle that." Do you th...
