THIS WEEK HOLLYOAKS' NIAMH BLACKSHAW HAS BEEN BRILLIANT

-
Since the beginning of Juliet Nightingale's cancer diagnosis storyline, many Hollyoaks viewers have been saying how brilliant Niamh Blackshaw has been through this storyline so far, and this week has been no different.

First of all, I have to say how brilliant soaps doing these storylines as they reach so many people and encourage viewers to spread the word about what they have watched, or if that have any of those symptoms they know how to go about getting checked.

During this week's episodes of Hollyoaks, viewers have seen many emotional scenes with Juliet Nightingale allowing for Niamh Blackshaw to show us what a brilliant young actress she is!

There have been making emotional moments this week from her attending her first chemo treatment alone that was after she pushed James Nightingale and Ste Hay away leading to Misbah Maalik supporting her in a sweet scene showing that you are never alone.

However, a moment that shocked me this week come with the way that Juliet blurted out about her cancer as her ex's, Peri Lomax and Nadira Valli were arguing, but I think this was the shock that they both needed to put their things into perspective even though it left them both confused and their different reactions showed a range of emotions in how many people would take the news.

The way that Peri took the news absolutely broke me and I think if we didn't know as viewers how much Peri and Juliet belong together, it's the fact that she didn't know which hurt. Thank god for Ste getting through to Peri to get her to support the one she loves! However the way that Peri was there was she needed someone was beautiful.

For me, Niamh's moment to shine come in last night's episode (22nd December) where she opened up to her mum, Donna-Marie Quinn about her diagnosis following her being supported by ex, Nadira and her half-brother, James which I was surprised to learn was improvised - the attention to detail with the dialogue from Niamh was brilliant, and beautifully delivered. This is something that I really enjoy seeing soaps do and trusting their actors with this at times. It was the way that everyone's reactions are so different which made it even more special as it showed how different kinds of people can take this kind of news - I know I would break down.

Charlotte Conquest, thank you for the brilliant directing that was beautifully shoot. It's when directors care a lot about their work that makes for incredible scenes to be shot.

I don't know where this storyline is going, but all I know is that I am really excited to see Niamh Blackshaw show everyone what a great actress she is.

Hollyoaks airs Monday - Friday on Channel 4 at 6.30pm, but also offers a First Look option on E4 at 7pm Monday - Friday at 7pm.

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
