CORONATION STREET EPISODE REVIEW AS BILLY AND PAUL GOT MARRIED

-
Tonight's episode of Coronation Street (2nd October) saw Billy Mayhew and Paul Foreman finally get married in the shows first gay wedding with their loved ones surrounding them.

It's fair to say that both Billy and Paul have been on a journey to get to where they are today and have supported each other through many difficult, heartfelt moments especially with Paul's recent diagnosis.

The episode was filled with a lot of emotion for both Billy and Paul as well as their families gathered with Gemma and Bernie Winter both bringing the comedy at various moments that bought many fond moments.

However for me, one of my favourite moments came as Summer Spellman walked alongside Billy in the Bistro as these two have been through a lot over the past few years, but I became emotional as Paul chose to walk down the aisle with the help of his sister and mum - the smiles from both Paul and Billy were great to see.

The honesty through the vows Billy and Paul made to one another made me cry with the raw, beautiful, and honest words remaining true to their journey. The emotion during the bows broke me. You've gotta love that Shania Twain was playing in the background.

There were so many special moments throughout that honestly made the episode especially as Paul surprised Billy with a church wedding which led to the pair deciding have their second wedding with Summer, Gemma, Bernie, Todd Grimshaw, Dee Dee Bailey by their sides.
You could see how much marrying in a church meant to Billy, making it even more emotional in my opinion.

The final scene of the photo on the church floor of Billy and Paul's wedding, I can see a lot of drama coming.

Peter Ash and Daniel Brocklebank, thank you for a such a brilliantly acted episode.
Damon Alexis-Rochefort and Jonathan Harvey, thank you for writing a brilliant episode with much emotion.

This episode of Coronation Street aired tonight (2nd October) with Coronation Street continuing tomorrow (3rd October) at 8pm on ITV1 & ITVX.

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 '

-
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
