EPISODE REVIEW - EMMERDALE CELEBRATES 50 YEARS AS THE STORM DRAMA CONTINUES...

-
Following on from last night's (16th October) special one hour anniversary episode which saw some fantastic scenes and stunts delivered, Emmerdale continued their special anniversary week's worth of episodes tonight (17th October). Tonight's episode was written by Andrew Kirk and directed once again like last night's by Ian Bevitt.

The episode started back with Kim Tate and Harriet Finch following the lightning strike that saw Kim on the ground after being thrown into the air during the explosion, and Harriet laying dead seeing an emotional Kim apologise. However, it was Dan Spencer who discovered Harriet's body, I'm a mess that character deserved better. Katherine Dow Blyton - thank you for all your fabulous moments as Harriet over the years, and I wish you all the very best for the future!
Back at Home Farm, Kim arrived back to Home Farm informing her new husband, Will along with his daughter, Dawn and her husband, Billy Fletcher about what happened out there as she told them about Harriet and her death leaving everyone shocked! I'm here for the caring side of Kim.
The panic side of Dawn towards her father and towards the thought of Clemmie and Lucas having to learn the truth. Olivia Bromley, you are a fantastic actress.

As Dan continued to look for his daughter, Amelia Spencer who was in a barn taking shelter, and struggling as her labour intensified as you could see how terrified she was becoming in the situation. The determination to protect herself and her unborn baby quickly becoming her priority. However, it was when Lydia Dingle opened the barn door and stood there after finding Amelia in her most vulnerable state, the assurance was very much needed. I am glad someone found her.
Daisy Campbell continues to portray vulnerability extremely well. Daisy needs to be recognised for the past two episodes alone, just my opinion. There is something about the realistic use of the scenes that showed how much research, Daisy has done for this storyline.

Also tonight, Nicola King and Charles Anderson worked together and helping one another in a time of need. The small comedy moments were appreciated.
Al Chapman having to chose between his girlfriend, Kerry Wyatt have a tree fallen on top of her, and Chas Dingle who he is having an affair with ended up with a head injury it was obvious that he was going to take care of Chas, I just hope Kerry realises the truth and soon.
Vinny standing up to Aaron Dingle for his wife, Liv was beautiful to see, showing so much about his character.
It was great to see the farming element of Emmerdale, as a farmer's granddaughter these scenes made me anxious. The jump from Sam as the cows stampede came which left Nate Robinson injured was an interesting one especially as the camera panned at the end of the episode to him with a head injury. I wasn't expecting that. What a cliff hanger, yes I screamed!

This episode of Emmerdale aired tonight (Monday 17th October) on ITV at 7.30pm with Emmerdale continuing tomorrow (Tuesday 18th October) at 7.30pm.

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
