Image
Since Cain was diagnosed with cancer during a special episode earlier this month on  Emmerdale, viewers have since seen Cain and Sarah Dingle work together stealing motors bringing a smile to their faces, however, next week will see the character's relationships begin to struggle. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale The week begins with Cain Dingle making it clear to Sarah Sugden that he won't be involving her in anymore car thefts. Sarah can't help herself when she spies a sports car parked outside the village hall As Sarah's about to speed off when Jacob Dingle appears furious to have caught his wife stealing his boss' flash motor knowing it could easily spell the end of his medical career. Jacob is soon hurt by Sarah’s inability to tell him the truth about what's really going on.

POP UP ARTISTS I'M EXCITED TO SEE AT C2C 2026

Image
Following the reveal of this year's Country 2 Country's (C2C)  Pop-Up Artists due to play in London on Friday 6th February, ahead of the event next month, I thought I would share with you the artists I am excited to see. Emily Ann Roberts  is an artist, I have been a fan of since 2019, and is my MUST-SEE for 2026! Emily is one of those artists that no matter what song she releases is a hit, and her lyrical ability is fabulous - Emily is an artist that wears her heart on her sleeve even if that means breaking into her emotional side, you only have to listen to her latest single, Come Home To You, but Pretty In Pink is an upbeat tune showing just how versatile Emily is as an artist, however, Wild which was released back in 2019, and Keep On are my favourite. Ashland Craft  is an artist I've been familiar with for a while and honestly, I am thrilled that Ashland is FINALLY coming over for C2C. Ashland has written one of my favourite songs and hopefully this is the opportunit...

Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale With Aaron Dingle having found Bear, he brings him home where Aaron brings up his own experience of what Bear is going through as Bear begins to open up to Aaron about his ordeal. Aaron is quick to try and make Bear see that he shouldn't blame himself, but Bear feels that he can't make that judgement without him hearing the full story. Anyone else thinking that Bear opening up to Aaron could be a good thing? Emmerdale airs Monday - Friday at 8pm on ITV1, and YouTube, and ITVX from 7am.

*OPINION* WHY A TWO-HANDER EPISODE FEELS NEEDED FOR EMMERDALE'S AARON AND ROBERT

Image
With Emmerdale doing many special episodes so far in 2026, I personally really feel that a two-hander episode focusing on Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle is very much needed especially after 6 years which viewers spent without Robert Sugden until he returned on Wednesday 28th May, 2025 it's safe to say there is a lot of history that still needs to be unwrapped. Even though Robert's childhood trauma was slightly touched upon back in 2017, and once again during last Thursday's episode (12th February), I still feel like this is a lot that needs to be unboxed allowing for some more of Robert's back story to come to light especially as we look forward to the farm era of the Sugden legacy returning with Aaron Dingle by his side. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale Robert and Aaron definitely need to have some rather difficult conversations regarding Robert's prison trauma that was slightly touched upon back in November during the special episode, however I definitely feel that th...

SINGLE REVIEW - ALANA SPRINGSTEEN - NOTE TO SELF

Image
Beginning a new era of music today (Friday 13th February) is singer-songwriter,  Alana Springsteen  who releases her brand new single, Note To Self. Photo Credit: Lily Nelson Note To Self  is a one incredibly heartfelt song that has a lot of vulnerability shining all the way through mixed in with a soulful layer as she opened up about things she wish she knew growing up, and some listeners will appreciate as Alana wears her heart on her sleeve. The way that Alana allows us listeners into her world as she grew up was touching especially as she let us in both the good and bad times showing us just what a fantastic artist she is. The chorus is stunning with softer tones as it allows for the honesty within the lyrics a powerful moment that I couldn't help but get emotional too, especially going into the second verse which I have to admit broke me - as I was able to relate to this part the most. The 'I Got You Now' part is Alana telling herself that whatever's next she belie...

*OPINION* WHY TONIGHT'S EMMERDALE FELT NOSTAGLIC AS AARON STOOD UP FOR ROBERT

Image
Tonight's Emmerdale Episode  (Thursday 12th February) saw Aaron Dingle stand up for his fiancé, Robert Sugden, whilst also having a very nostalgic feel especially during tonight's final scene as well as looking into Robert's childhood trauma. Before I continue I have to say how wonderful it's been seeing the friendship between Aaron and Victoria revisited throughout the week, as well as some home truths for Victoria delivered by both Robert and Aaron. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale With Victoria Sugden preparing to leave the village, she collected her suitcase from Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden's flat where Aaron was acting all shifty following the arrival of John Sugden's ashes. In The Woolpack toilets, Tracy Metcalfe and Robert had a plan for John's ashes which Tracy chose to flush down the toilet as Aaron and Victoria walked in with Victoria refusing to listen to her brother. Later during a chat with Victoria, Aaron defended the love of his life and soulma...

Set to reprise her role in Emmerdale is Caroline Harker as Doctor Todd in a compelling new storyline exploring workplace bullying and power dynamics with Caroline returning to the Yorkshire Dales based soap for an extended run as Doctor Todd who is the boss to trainee doctor, Jacob Sugden. While Jacob is a bright and ambitious young doctor, his professional world is about to become a battleground. This February, Emmerdale will shine a spotlight on the troubling reality of workplace bullying as Doctor Todd returns with a vengeance, quick to find fault and relentlessly criticises her enthusiastic trainee. The storyline will delve into Jacob's struggle to manage his work-life balance under the immense pressure of his overbearing boss. The stakes are raised further when Doctor Todd installs herself in the village, blurring the lines between Jacob's professional and private life.  Storylines like this really do need highlighting.
