EMMERDALE EPISODE REVIEW - DAN AND AMELIA SHARE A SPECIAL DAY

-
It's been a while since I've done a single episode review, however tonight's episode (16th August) was one that I really enjoyed as it was filled with happiness even through the sad moments.

*I have to say I loved how Emmerdale remembered to past of Dan and Chas Dingle.*

Emmerdale are really good at special episodes and tonight's was much needed in my opinion as the episode started with Dan determined to give Amelia, a special day before tomorrow, and like any parent you want to create as many happy memories as possible. The Yorkshire landscape as Amelia reached the destination was wonderful to see. Love that Dan just wanted to do something special.

The way that Dan presented Amelia with a scrapbook of all their memories was fantastic and filled with many special moments alongside a special piece of dialogue from them both as we learn a little about their journey as they remembered all the childhood memories they shared.

Despite all the fun and laughing around, the emotions came flooding back for Amelia who got rather emotional as she admitted that she forgot about what was coming, once again seeing how much they rely on one another seeing some vulnerability from the pair - the heartfelt moments between Dan and Amelia was very much needed as well as the making of more special moments with his daughter, and granddaughter Esther. However, it was Amelia telling Dan that tomorrow is coming no matter what and that need to face it and as harsh as that sounds it's true.

You've gotta like that Amelia is determined to be as independent as she can be as she asked Dan to go  over everything to do with the house, as he suggested Noah moving in which Amelia was adamant not to do and can totally understand why - don't add too much pressure.

Dan calling Amelia his superhero was sweet followed by some poignant words, but the final scene of them throwing the wild flowers was beautifully captured by David Beauchamp especially as they threw them up in the air looking towards one another. The realisation of what the day meant hits them once again as the episode ended. I am really going to miss Liam and Daisy's relationship on screen.

There was something so beautiful about Dawn Harrison's writing that made tonight's episode wonderful as well as Daisy Campbell and Liam Fox's acting - this storyline really has taken us viewers on a journey. Hard hitting storylines like this can't be easy for the actors as they just want to get it right for the people who have actually been through this, you have to remember that soaps educate us on difficult topics.

This episode aired tonight (Wednesday 16th August) on ITV1 & ITVX at 7.30pm.
Emmerdale continues with an hour long episode tomorrow (17th August) at 7.30pm.

    Another wonderful blog. I too adored the albums and I loved the fact he put a photo of Noah in it. I've loved the Dan and Noah scenes recently.

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
