EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH HARRIET BIBBY ABOUT WHAT'S TO COME FOR SUMMER & 2023 HOPES

-
Last Thursday (1st December) during an Coronation Street press event which saw a new set unveiled which is coming on our screens in early 2023, I had the opportunity to put some questions to Harriet Bibby who plays Summer Spellman to offer an exclusive interview.

Touching upon when Harriet take over the role of Summer and how they threw her straight in, Harriet said: "They did, definitely."

Summer has been through one hell of a year with her eating disorder, exam struggles, to her diabetes diagnosis, and now her pregnancy/ miscarriage storyline, Harriet said "It's been a heavy year for Summer, and they all kind of link in together obviously Summer getting diabetes was difficult manage, and that led into her eating disorder it all kind of leads into one another. It's been a heavy year and I think the universe is throwing things at her and having to deal with it - I think is hard."

What lighter scenes would you like to see as you have the Esther/ Mike storyline, what can you tease? "Well you have Esther and Mike here, I think Summer just wants to make sure that everyone is happy, she feels responsible for other people's sort of happiness and wants to make sure everyone's getting what they want. She wants to help Aaron's dad, she wants to help Aaron, she wants to help Mike and Esther, but she's got herself into a spot of bother. We'll see what happens."

How do you think Billy is going to react? "I don't think he's not going to be very happy, a lot of concerns obviously she's had such a tough year anyway, anything Summer does they've got eyes on her. I mean to make sure she's ok! She's got herself into this situation." Before talking adding about if Billy will be supportive? "I think he'll always try and support Summer in the best way that he can, but sometimes support doesn't come in just agreeing with everything that someone says sometimes it comes in tough love!"

Speaking of the hopes for Summer over the next few months, Harriet said: "She's not having a good time, I think obviously this storyline (Mike/ Esther/ Summer's pregnancy) is long from finished, lots of twists and turns coming."  Before Harriet added "Personally, I'd like to see her having a bit more fun with her mates, like they have all just moved in to a flat together."

Teasing about what's to come in 2023, do you think things will settle now? "Well, I think we are in for another busy year, but hopefully a bit more of a steadier year for Summer. Be lovely to see some lighter stuff, definitely."

We couldn't end the interview with talking about Harriet's Christmas plans could we? "So, we get a couple of weeks off filming here which will be nice as I've had a really busy year, but I'm just going back to Lancashire with my family."

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1.

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
