Tonight's episode (Wednesday 11th March) saw a Sugden back at the helm of Emmerdale Farm, following today's announcement that Robert Sugden became the new tenant farmer at 'Emmerdale Farm' alongside his fiancé, Aaron Dingle returning the legendary Sugden name to the land for the first time in years.  Part of me is really excited for this change, however I'm kinda nervous, but am ready for a new era! Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale In tonight's episode, Moira Dingle signed over the farm to the Tates, Joe Tate swiftly moved to appoint Robert to run the operation, also seeing Aaron tell Cain that he chooses Robert when asked to choose between his uncle and fiancé saying "I'll stick with him" much to Cain's shock. Driven by a desire to honour his family legacy and following in the footsteps of his father, Jack Sugden, one of the original farmers in the area, Robert is determined to restore the farm to its former glory. Their first action is to proudly...

During the previous two episodes of  Emmerdale,  The Dingles were at the full-front as Cain Dingle let his family in on his cancer diagnosis, proving why once again why The Dingle's are the show's strongest family. Last night (Monday 9th March) saw a  Cain Dingle Focused Episode  and one that was carefully delivered thanks to Adam Sales thoughtful writing. During the first moments of the episode, Sarah Sugden visited her grandad, Cain who informed her that Joe Tate knew that he was the one that stole his car as Sarah once again told him that it's time he told his wife, Moira Dingle the truth about his health. During a scene in The Woolpack, Sarah saw Jacob Sugden who quickly stormed off as Belle Dingle demanded answers after seeing an upset Sarah. Later, Cain went to see Liam Cavanagh regarding a development in his health, with Liam being the person that Cain needs - Liam and Cain's friendship is fantastic to see continue as he seems to be the only one he lets his gu...

Following the reveal of this year's Country 2 Country's (C2C)  Pop-Up Artists due to play in London on Friday 6th February, ahead of the event next month, I thought I would share with you the artists I am excited to see. Emily Ann Roberts  is an artist, I have been a fan of since 2019, and is my MUST-SEE for 2026! Emily is one of those artists that no matter what song she releases is a hit, and her lyrical ability is fabulous - Emily is an artist that wears her heart on her sleeve even if that means breaking into her emotional side, you only have to listen to her latest single, Come Home To You, but Pretty In Pink is an upbeat tune showing just how versatile Emily is as an artist, however, Wild which was released back in 2019, and Keep On are my favourite. Ashland Craft  is an artist I've been familiar with for a while and honestly, I am thrilled that Ashland is FINALLY coming over for C2C. Ashland has written one of my favourite songs and hopefully this is the opportunit...

Anyone else thinking that Bear opening up to Aaron could be a good thing? Emmerdale airs Monday - Friday at 8pm on ITV1, and YouTube, and ITVX from 7am.

With Emmerdale doing many special episodes so far in 2026, I personally really feel that a two-hander episode focusing on Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle is very much needed especially after 6 years which viewers spent without Robert Sugden until he returned on Wednesday 28th May, 2025 it's safe to say there is a lot of history that still needs to be unwrapped. Even though Robert's childhood trauma was slightly touched upon back in 2017, and once again during last Thursday's episode (12th February), I still feel like this is a lot that needs to be unboxed allowing for some more of Robert's back story to come to light especially as we look forward to the farm era of the Sugden legacy returning with Aaron Dingle by his side. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale Robert and Aaron definitely need to have some rather difficult conversations regarding Robert's prison trauma that was slightly touched upon back in November during the special episode, however I definitely feel that th...

Beginning a new era of music today (Friday 13th February) is singer-songwriter,  Alana Springsteen  who releases her brand new single, Note To Self. Photo Credit: Lily Nelson Note To Self  is a one incredibly heartfelt song that has a lot of vulnerability shining all the way through mixed in with a soulful layer as she opened up about things she wish she knew growing up, and some listeners will appreciate as Alana wears her heart on her sleeve. The way that Alana allows us listeners into her world as she grew up was touching especially as she let us in both the good and bad times showing us just what a fantastic artist she is. The chorus is stunning with softer tones as it allows for the honesty within the lyrics a powerful moment that I couldn't help but get emotional too, especially going into the second verse which I have to admit broke me - as I was able to relate to this part the most. The 'I Got You Now' part is Alana telling herself that whatever's next she belie...

Tonight's Emmerdale Episode  (Thursday 12th February) saw Aaron Dingle stand up for his fiancé, Robert Sugden, whilst also having a very nostalgic feel especially during tonight's final scene as well as looking into Robert's childhood trauma. Before I continue I have to say how wonderful it's been seeing the friendship between Aaron and Victoria revisited throughout the week, as well as some home truths for Victoria delivered by both Robert and Aaron. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale With Victoria Sugden preparing to leave the village, she collected her suitcase from Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden's flat where Aaron was acting all shifty following the arrival of John Sugden's ashes. In The Woolpack toilets, Tracy Metcalfe and Robert had a plan for John's ashes which Tracy chose to flush down the toilet as Aaron and Victoria walked in with Victoria refusing to listen to her brother. Later during a chat with Victoria, Aaron defended the love of his life and soulma...

Following the shock return of Graham Foster during the special Emmerdale  and Coronation Street crossover, Corriedale which aired earlier this month to this week's episodes have been great. Following on from last night's (Tuesday 27th January) cliff-hanger with Graham Foster returning to Home Farm where Joe Tate and Kim Tate were talking leading into  tonight's episode  (Wednesday 28th January) wonderfully as Joe and Graham came face-to-face after 6 years. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale The way that Joe stood up to Graham telling him that he doesn't need anything showed just how different things have become making us realise how much the character has changed over that period. Later, during a conversation between Graham and Kim, Joe overheard the real reason for his return to the village, but Graham and Kim scheming against one another how I have missed these kind of fiery moments as well as the softer moments of dialogue. Claire King and Andrew Scarborough scenes are ...
