WHY SANDRA FLAHERTY'S RETURN TO EMMERDALE IS AN INTERESTING ONE

-
Why the return of Sandra Flaherty to Emmerdale is an interesting one as us viewers learnt that she is using her daughter, Liv Dingle. 

Ever since her return during Friday 8th July's episode as Liv was being supported by her husband, Vinny over the devastating news about Faith Dingle which hit her hard. I felt super emotional.

When Sandra wanted to see photos of her daughter's wedding day as she bought up not being there, you could see so much hurt in Liv's eyes, I felt for her! The way Liv listened to her mums issues. Yes, with the home truths from Vinny - he just wants to protect Liv.

The waterworks from Sandra, oh my Vinny's face said it all. You weren't even there for your own daughter when she needed you the most! Vinny the protective husband!

One thing I really enjoyed about last week's episode was the fact they returned Liv and Gabby Thomas friendship - lovely to see Isobel Steele and Rosie Bentham share a scene again!

I get that Liv feels bad but she has to remember she can't help her mum if she won't help herself!

The end of last week saw Liv agree to let Sandra stay, but Vinny overheard Sandra on the phone. However at the start of this week, Chas was little suspicious over Sandra. Vinny bring super protective of Liv was rather sweet leading to her opening up. I'm still suspicious. Liv's harsh words are needed!

Liv and Vinny were on tender hooks that was till Terry arrived at The Mill. Vinny was shocked as Liv agreed to help her mum giving Terry the money, Sandra was thrilled however, seeing Terry giving Sandra the money I'm done - Liv, please open your eyes! I just really hope Liv realises before it's too late!

It was Wednesday's episode that got me shouting at the TV. Sandra do you ever think of anyone but yourself? Liv doesn't deserve you doing this to her!

Thursday's episode saw Liv help Sandra find a job - it was Sandra's eye movement that got me. When Vinny told Mandy about Sandra staying with them, but Mandy walking out said a lot, she only wants what's best for her son and Liv! Liked how Mandy checked in with Liv regarding her mum getting a job, but it was Sandra's excuses that frustrated me, thank god for Mandy offer help but the way Sandra looked at Mandy - look out, Mandy!

In tonight's episode (15th July), it was Sandra's her first day, Bernice is so me with her reaction. The comedy from Bernice, love it. Sandra is definitely up to no good - oh wait, she took money! Mandy, please open your eyes.

However the way that Joanne Mitchell and Isobel Steele work together is fantastic, and shows how great they are as actresses!

These episodes of Emmerdale aired between Monday 11th - Friday 15th July on ITV at 7.30pm with an hour episode on Thursday 14th July.

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
