WHY WATERLOO ROAD RETURNING IS AMAZING NEWS

-
Everyone that knows me knows how much I loved watching Waterloo Road and have done since the very first episode.
This mornings news of the show returning and being set in Manchester had me thrilled! And by the look of my Twitter many others of you were too!

I may have only been a teenager when the first of a new drama series called Waterloo Road aired back on 9th March, 2006 but what I do remember is how excited I was for new drama series based on a school to be on TV.
When the show ended exactly 9 years after it first aired on 9th March, 2015 on BBC One, I was upset but glad that the final episode was left open for a possible return in the future (which is clearly happening after today's announcement). 

Waterloo Road was the one show that through lockdown 1.0 got me realising just how much I loved and missed the show, and I have never hidden the fact that my favourite series was season 4 as it has been the one that has stuck with me thanks to it being the most full of drama in every single episode as you didn't know what to expect. Series 6, 7, 8 and 9 (I'd like to see Connor and Imogen returning with their family which they were talking about) were also brilliant series for me thanks to the characters they introduced and the fact that some of my favourite actors were apart of the series.
However the final episode of series 10 was the one that had me the most emotional as it saw the show come to an end leaving it open for a possibility show return and every time I have watched the episode I have thought this.

Something that Waterloo Road did extremely well over the years were the many storylines as they highlighted many important issues that have helped viewers, I can't wait to see what they will bring to us viewers this time around.

All I hope for with the return of Waterloo Road is that we will see some of the old characters that we loved cropping back up onto our screens for example, Rachel Mason would be a great one as I would love to see Eva Pope reprise her role, along with my personal favourite couple, Chlo and Donte Charles having Adam Thomas and Katie Griffiths back to play them as their daughter, Izzie would be old enough to attend Waterloo Road herself. I would personally like to hope that they bring Chlo's sister, Mika back hopefully played once again by Lauren Drummond - fingers crossed!
It would be lovely to see Janecee back too! And maybe Scout Allen back as a teacher.
 
It would also be wonderful to see past characters children on screen as well. I also hope that there will be a nod to the past characters with rooms named after them.
Let's hope they can bring some of the same writers back for the new series.

I can't wait for Waterloo Road to air back in BBC One in 2022 allowing for many actors to have their moment to shine.

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
