WHY EMMERDALE'S GABBY AND KIM MOMENT WAS NEEDED!

-
As you all know I am big fan of Emmerdale, and I will always give credit to the soaps that give the characters such unique, and interesting storylines. This week has been no different with Gabby Thomas.

This week's Emmerdale episodes started with Gabby Thomas confronting Jamie Tate, the father of her unborn baby about him, and Dawn Taylor who was up at Home Farm collecting some papers which we all know was just a plot to get to see him. Jamie and Dawn then admitted their feelings for one another that Gabby ended up overhearing as she returned to Home Farm hearing everything!

With Jamie then looking for Gabby who was in the kitchen in pain fearing for her unborn baby, she collapsed as Jamie just stood there which had me feeling really annoyed (I know it was filmed socially distanced but really?)

Then in Tuesday evenings episode, viewers saw Gabby Thomas in her hospital bed where Kim Tate arrived (you could definitely hear the famous shoes before we saw Kim on TV) which saw the pair have a heart-to-heart seeing Gabby open up to Kim about Jamie was something that was like a breathe of fresh air as it was needed for the characters have a moment.

The scenes between Gabby, and Laurel also made for amazing viewing with Gabby admitting the reasons why she never called Laurel in the first place which didn't sit well with her, but all understandable. When Gabby revealed that she was doubting having the baby after all she's been through, Laurel made Gabby a suggestion that I have to say I wasn't expecting!

In last night's episode, viewers saw Kim confront Laurel about her offer as Gabby was debating whether to keep her baby or to have an abortion which we all knew was going to happen following Laurel's offer to bring up her baby as her own.
Another heartfelt scene between Gabby, and Kim at Home Farm was delivered where Kim allowed Gabby to ask the questions that she needed, whilst also seeming very open and honest in way that wasn't judgemental full of standing as it is her right to decide her future.
We all know that Kim has two sides, but there was something about this scene that had me seeing a different side to Kim - not that I think it would last long. I really enjoyed seeing the 'tough love' from Kim.

The final scene of the episode saw Gabby going to visit Laurel to tell her about her decision leading to Laurel talking over her in a way that had me shouting at the TV 'Let Gabby talk!'
However, when Gabby did it was really nice to see Gabby standing up for herself!

In Thursday's second episode, seeing Jamie apologising to Gabby was something that was needed to tie this week's episodes together, however it didn't feel heartfelt.
Everything about the dynamic between the characters and actresses this week was wonderful!

Rosie Bentham has done a truly amazing job, especially with her scenes with Claire King. There is something I am loving about their relationship onscreen.
Claire King is one fantastic actress who plays the two sides of her character fantastically giving a wonderful balance.

These episodes of Emmerdale aired on Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th March on ITV.

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 '

COMING UP ON EMMERDALE: AMELIA CHRISTENS ESTHER AS CHARITY AND AMY BRING THE DRAMA

-
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
