WHY TONIGHT'S EASTENDERS WAS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN

-

Tonight's EastEnders episode saw Ben Mitchell and Callum 'Halfway' Highway propose to one another in two very poignant places for the couple.

We all know Ben and Callum's relationship has been full of drama - good and bad, but this week's episodes saw Ben wanting to apologise to his loved one for the way he 'proposed' because of Callum being unable to collect his daughter, Lexi from school.

Tuesday's episode (26th January) saw Ben decide that he was going to propose thanks to his daughters words.

However in tonight's episode (28th January), Ben decided that tonight was the night that he was going to propose to Callum with Lexi, Lola, Billy, Honey, and Jay Mitchell alongside Callum's brother, Stuart Highway and his partner, Rainie was were watching in the Albert.

Ben was in a frenzy as the big moment came when he received a call from Callum wanting to talk to him in the square where Callum then proposed outside of The Queen which is a poignant place for the pair, leaving Ben rather upset that he bet him to a proposal. However, it wasn't long before Ben got his opportunity on the balcony of The Albert with some heartfelt words that I have to admit got me emotional.

The fact that the episode allowed both of Ben and Callum to propose was amazing because it allowed the fans to get the moment they wanted!

The attention to detail were so beautifully done representing their journeys beautifully too! The script was beautifully written by Lorraine Newman, and directed by Sarah Esdaile.

Massive shout out to Max Bowden and Tony Clay for knowing their characters well, and delivering a wonderfully magical episode.

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
