Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale Sadie King and Robert Sugden suspect that deceased Jimmy King's money must be stashed at the depot. Sadie pretends to have an interest in Ruby Milligan's wine business to get close to her and into the depot and they bond as they sample wine together. Seizing a moment, Sadie searches for the cash but is caught by Caleb Milligan forcing her to admit she is looking for Jimmy's money to give to Nicola King. Later, Sadie continues bonding with a drunken Ruby, but almost gives away her secret when she lets slip about a fling with Federico in New York last Christmas before passing out. The following day, Sadie scrambles to cover her tracks when Ruby asks questions later warning Robert about her near-miss. Despite Robert urging her to cut their losses, Sadie insis...

This week's interview is with singer-songwriter, Kier who today (Friday 25th September) has released her latest single, Twenty Something.  Hello Kier, How are you feeling following today's release of Twenty Something? Excited, nervous, but in the best kind of way. It feels like things are really moving now, which is such a nice feeling. I've been sitting on this song for a while, so finally having it out in the world is a bit surreal! As you maybe new to some of  our readers, could I please ask you to introduce yourself? Of course! I'm KIER, a South Yorkshire-based singer-songwriter. I like most things creative, I'm awful with numbers and I love rubbish jokes. Music-wise, I've always been rooted in storytelling, but lately I've been leaning much more into the singer-songwriter/pop world. Could you please tell us a little about Twenty Something? It's basically about all the weird little lessons, contradictions and realisations that come with being in you...

This week's interview is with singer-songwriter, Chandler Marie who last month (Friday 14th August) released her latest single, Embers.  Hey Chandler, how are you? I'm doing great, thank you! Before we go any further could I please ask you to introduce yourself to our readers? My name is Chandler Marie and I am an independent artist chasing my music dream. A few weeks ago, you release your latest single, Embers -  can you please tell us a little about the song? Embers is one of my songs that is just fun to listen to. I wrote this tune with Evan Daniels, Brian Ream, and Josh Owczarzak. There's no real meaning behind it, we just went into the writing session wanting to write a fun song. Although, it is very relatable. I'm sure a lot of people have been in that situation, when you know you shouldn't go back to someone but do it anyway. How have you found the response to the song? The response to “Embers” has been very positive. I call this my “spicy” song since it tal...

Today (Friday 4th September), singer-songwriter, Stella Lain who describes herself as The Country Barbie is releasing her latest single, The Meaning of Love. The Meaning of Love  begins with sweet sounding guitar instrumental that Stella's crisp tones compliment very well from the first word, but there is something so special and unique about the chorus that instantly caught me getting a little emotional over as its the beginning of everything. However, I have to admit the songwriting throughout the second verse was very poignant and the part in the song where you believe that you could finally be getting your happily ever after. The storytelling throughout The Meaning of Love makes for some brilliant listening, hearing this side of an artist for me is the most beautiful as it's the point you can easily decide if you like the song or not and Stella, I love this one. Stella, thank you for the attention to detail with the many different emotions that I caught myself feeling thro...

During a twist in tonight's Emmerdale episode (Tuesday 1st September), viewers to the Yorkshire based soap finally discovered the true motivation behind detective Thea Ramsden's relentless pursuit of Kim Tate where the episode concluded with a poignant flashback that recontextualised a long ago event of Kim's past.  This was a very clever move in my opinion. The closing moments transported the audience back in time, showing a younger Kim Tate reflected in the glass of a hospital baby unit. As she gazed at her newborn, a nurse inquired if she was certain about her decision to proceed with adoption. When asked if the child had a name, Kim revealed she had always been fond of the name, "Anthea". The scene then switched to the present day, focusing in on DS Thea Ramsden's police name badge - confirming the detective is the daughter Kim gave up decades ago. This revelation confirms that Ramsden's presence in the village is fueled by a deeply personal vendetta...

During next week's visits to Yorkshire Dales based soap, Emmerdale  viewers will see Robert Sugden call a truce with Joe Tate, whilst also being up to no good - but would we expect anything else from Robert when it comes to getting what he wants? Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale As Robert Sugden feigns a truce with a grieving Joe Tate following the death of his fiancée Dawn Fletcher who he was set to marry few days prior, whilst he hides his true agenda to seize the farm and later reveals to his fiancé, Aaron Dingle about him wanting to take over the Hide from Gabby and Laurel Thomas. As Joe visits his tiny newborn son in NICU at the hospital with Kim Tate by his side, he holds his hand through the incubator with Kim hoping this is the beginning of a breakthrough. Soon, Joe shares that he's made a decision about his son's future. Emmerdale airs Monday - Friday at 8pm on ITV1, and YouTube, and ITVX from 7am.

The weeks worth of Emmerdale  episodes have seen Dawn Fletcher and Joe Tate at the forefront who were set to get married with a lot of drama along the way, with some emotional moments. *Thank you, Emmerdale for the different parts of the day in the intro's* Monday's episode (24th August) set the week up brilliantly as it began with an excited Joe Tate as the groom and Graham Foster shared a heart-to-heart, whilst Dawn worried about her next move with Billy Fletcher, but Dawn using her dad Will Taylor's death to play Kim Tate was a harsh move. The way that Dawn stood up for herself to Graham over Joe admitting that she loves Joe despite everything, as Graham stood up for Joe left Dawn questioning Billy's 'work accident'. However, Caleb Milligan told Joe about Dawn leaving him and leaving with Billy as Joe's world came crashing down. Wednesday's episode (26th August)  saw the moment Dawn opened her eyes, and realised that Billy played her, whilst Caleb con...

Today (Friday 28th August) will see US singer-songwriter,  Lauren Alaina  release her brand new album, Stages which is made up of 16 songs forming three different stages of her life. Stage 1: The Dreaming Babies Raising Babies (featuring Tyler Suddeth)  features Lauren reminisces about her childhood that I caught myself getting a little teary over as you could hear a mix of emotions remembering me of the reason I became a fan of Lauren's music in the first place. The songwriting is beautiful throughout, but Tyler's vocals and harmonies are a wonderfully addition. Tyler's vocals on the second verse added a wonderful family dynamic to the song that made it even more special as you can hear how proud Lauren is to have her brother on this track. Babies Raising Babies is the perfect opening track. Those Kind of Women  is song of female empowerment where all the different kind of women that Lauren was raised by/ on getting appreciated in a way that many of her listeners wi...

Tomorrow (Friday 21st August) will see singer-songwriter, Anne Wilson release her brand new single, Who I Am To You. Photo Credit: Sophia Mantinazad Who I Am To You  has an upbeat instrumental mixed with Anne's crisp rocky tone alongside the heartfelt lyrics is the perfect blend. The honesty within all three verses is beautiful with the lyrics being ones I caught myself at times connecting with. The chorus' super catchy and strong making you realise that 'Who I Am is Who I Am To You' is different to every single person in our lives and that's ok whether it's good or not, and at every stage in our lives. The feelings of empowerment throughout is brilliant. However, there is something about the second verse that reminds you it's ok to not have healed from bad experiences and having these mixed feelings is normal, the bridge highlighting the songs key lyrics is great. You can follow Anne on her instagram here .

This week's interview is with Jessica Sevier , and Ryan Langdon who are set to perform at The British Country Music Festival in Blackpool on Friday 4th September as well as a co-headline tour.

I like to write music that tells a story and sometimes covers hard truths that need to be shared. If y...

Today (Friday 14th August), singer-songwriter, Emily Ann Roberts is releasing her latest single, Laundry. Photo Credit: Matthew Berinato Emily Ann's crisp tones begin  Laundry brilliantly allowing for her songwriting to shine through. Laundry is one emotional that much is obvious from the first line as you can feel a mix of emotions as you can hear the unfaithfulness of a relationship, whilst also reminding yourself that it's ok to be in slow line in life as you begin to get yourself back together alongside wanting more, whilst having a 90's country feel. However, on the flip side it's about the people that only ever air other people's laundry and not always for the right reasons - it's a song that lets you decide your take! Its the second verse into chorus that I caught myself getting teary over as the meaning of song changed once again, and couldn't stop myself feeling for anyone that has ever been in that situation, whilst hearing Emily Ann's gorge...

This week's interview with Karissa Ella who released her latest single, The Country on Friday 24th July. I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to catch up with to talk about this single, and plans for the rest of 2026. Hello Karissa,  You recently released The Country, can you please tell us a little about the song? The Country is really just a big thank you to the people who make our everyday lives possible. I think we all enjoy the food on our tables, the clothes on our backs, and the roofs over our heads, but we don't always stop and think about where it all starts. This song is a fun, feel good reminder that so much of what we use every single day comes from the country and from the hardworking people who make it happen. How have you found the response to the song? It's been so cool! I've had people from all walks of life reaching out saying, “What a great reminder” Or just simply loving the whole vibe of the song! It’s been great feedback! I have to ask as a...

It's been a long time since I wrote an opinion piece on Hollyoaks and Frankie Osborne especially. However, the past few weeks have seen a change in the character, and one I am enjoying seeing even though, I have a feeling the character will end up being the one to get hurt. Since the car crash, the character was injured in back in April, it's safe to say that Frankie Osborne's direction has taken a turn since her dance school journey was put on hold due to her injury, however since the Keanes' have arrived a new side of Frankie has been shown since meeting her now boyfriend, Caleb who was also injured in the crash alongside Jack's daughter, Beth, her husband Jonah and son, Maddox. However with Frankie already knowing too much about Caleb's step-mum, Beth Keane after discovering a box hidden under her bed with a teddy bear, and a ripped photo hiding the truth. Last week's episodes saw the fiery side of Frankie Osborne arrive once again following Leah Barnes...
