EASTENDERS EPISODE REVIEW - RUBY ALLEN GIVES HER EVIDENCE

-
Following on from last night's episode, I'd like to welcome you to the second blog in the series of blogs I am going to be writing during Ruby Allen's trial week. At the end of last night's episode we saw Ruby take to the stand ahead of her giving evidence in tonight's episode.

In the second scene of the episode tonight, us viewers were taken back to the court room where we saw Ruby Allen was about to take the stand about being given the book to swear on, ready to give her account for what happened to her on that night in October. Ruby was clearly starting to feel the pressure.

In the next scene back at the court, Ruby was in the stand where she was giving her evidence and the judge started to question her about the night in question as she give her account of what happen. Ruby was still clearly distraught as she was questioned by the judge.

In the following scene moments later, Ruby was still in the stand with judges still questioning her about her career as an event organiser when they chose to bring up her best friend Stacey Fowler about how they rekindled their friendship and what called for her return to the Square and for attending Martin Fowler's school reunion. Luke and Ross watch on.

Moments later, the female judge is still questioning Ruby about her intentions with Matt and Ross on the evening of Martin's school reunion and Ruby soon starts stressing where she is seen to be shouting at the judge in horror. Stacey and Martin are awaiting outside the courtroom before Stacey is called to give her evidence in Ruby's trial.

In the next scene, Stacey had taken to the stand giving her evidence, where she is questioned by the female judge about her friend's kiss with Matt in the club. Stacey sticks up for her friend in the court case. The female judge quickly turns on Stacey in the stand about the word she chose to use for what had happened to her friend. Ruby looks on very worried.

In the final scene of the episode which featured on this trial, Stacey is later seen talking to her best friend Ruby about the fact that she let her down in the moment that she needed to her the most. But it's not long before Ruby realises that her best friend is talking about her ordeal with what happened with Archie all these years ago and regretting her decision not to see them. Stacey is very distraught and Ruby is wanting to be there for her best friend at her time of need.

Tonight's episode has shown us all what an incredible actress Louisa Lytton is and this storyline has raised so much awareness!
Also, I have to give another shout out to Lacey Turner for her wonderful acting within tonight's court scenes. 
Another shout out has to go to Matt and Ross' actors Mitchell Hunt and Ossian Luke for their great portrayals during this storyline.
Tonight's EastEnders episode was written by my favourite writers for the show Lauren Klee.

SINGLE REVIEW - ELERI - KARAOKE

-
This Friday (11th August)  will see  Swansea based artist singer-songwriter, Eleri  release her latest single, Karaoke. Karaoke was co written with Vanessa Murray and Katie Buckland, and produced by Tim Prottey/Jones of First Time Flyers. Karaoke  has an upbeat instrumental setting the tone beautifully. The first verses sees Eleri's soft vocal at the forefront with lyrics that get you thinking of those moments at a gig that you don't think you'll ever get to see takes me back to experiencing Priscilla Block with Eleri last year, oh the memories. The second verse sees the song take another turn of when you feel like things aren't working out but you are determined to learn from the lesson it's given you. The chorus features many catchy upbeat lyrics that I could myself singing along with despite not knowing the lyrics 100% typical Kellie. There is so much passion within the lyrics and the more you hear the lyrics the more appreciation I gain. Love the summer of '

-
With Amelia Spencer about to christen her daughter, Esther it wouldn't be a soap without drama during the ceremony would it? It’s the day of Amelia Spencer’s daughter, Esther’s christening who is touched by her boyfriend, Noah Dingle’s support who has been there for her during her pregnancy and now adjusting to her journey into motherhood. It’s lovely to see how much he genuinely cares and wants the best for them both. Following Lydia Dingles help in organising the christening, she is disappointed when Samson Dingle refuses to accompany her to his daughter’s christening. Chloe Harris and Amy Wyatt are confrontational around cousins Chas and Charity. However, when Amy and Chloe arrive at Esther’s christening following Chas’ invite, Charity is less than impressed. Things escalated as Charles Anderson’s begins the christening as Charity’s feud with Amy threatens to put the service in jeopardy - part of me is like yay for the drama, but the other is like why are you doing this ,Charit

EMMERDALE REVIEW - DAN SHOWED HIS VULNERABILITY

Over the past few weeks, Emmerdale viewers have seen a different side of Dan Spencer following his daughter, Amelia's social media ordeal which has allowed for a different side of the character's development to be shown. It's obvious to me and many other viewers that all Dan Spencer has ever wanted to do was protect Amelia, but the way he said some harsh things to her in Tuesday's episode (11th July) saw the vulnerability in both characters. It was during Wednesday's episode (12th July) where Dan said "you have every right to be online" was a moment I caught myself a little emotional over as it reminded me of my own experience once again - it's clear how much Dan cares about his daughter and just wants what's best for her like parents do. The way that parents want their children to hear the truth, sometimes isn't the best way to do but on the other side sometimes it just needs to be said. There was many times during this week that I felt for Am
