LAST WEEK'S HOLLYOAKS EPISODES HAVE BEEN EMOTIONAL

-
*Sorry this review is a few days late, but I wasn't 100% I was going to share*

It's safe to say that the past week's Hollyoaks episodes have been full of emotions from Ste Hay and James Nightingale's wedding to Juliet Nightingale's hospital news then to her opening up to her family.

Earlier in the week, viewers saw Juliet Nightingale being told that her cancer is terminal with her girlfriend, Peri Lomax by her side in some highly emotional scenes as her brother, James and his now husband, Ste got married later in the week.

There was something about the scenes this week between Peri and Juliet that saw a side to Peri that I haven't seen in a while and it broke me quite a few times. I have to admit I am guilty of not always thinking about their loved ones enough as they are hurting as well and sometimes twice as much. The way that Ruby O'Donnell and Niamh Blackshaw work together is super special and credit where it's due to them knowing your characters so well.

The dialogue throughout this week as Juliet came to terms with the news was emotional to watch especially the scenes of her telling her mum allowing to have some wonderful scenes of Donna Marie supporting her daughter and her loved ones in some heartbreaking scenes especially as Juliet filmed her video for James, tears were streaming down my eyes.

The way that Peri was there for Juliet throughout this week seeing them smile despite the hard times has been fantastic to see as they are the moments we'll remember. As well as seeing Juliet and Donna-Marie develop, but I really loved that Juliet was the one to finally tell her brother the truth about her dying in another emotional scene. Niamh, you are a brilliant actress delivering this story so beautifully and you can see the amount of research that has gone into this storyline.

These episodes of Hollyoaks aired between Monday 15th - Friday 19th May on Channel 4 as well as E4 and All 4 where you can stream them now.

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
