EPISODE REVIEW - WHAT A ROMANTIC ROBRON EPISODE - EVERYTHING WE WANTED!!

People were asking what Robron scenes Caroline has written and before I start this blog I thought I would tell you and there have been a few emotional ones too! Boxing Day 2014, Aaron's abuse trial verdict aka the Robron hug outside The Woolpack and Robert telling Chas that he wanted to marry Aaron the next day and few more. Realising this is the lay-by where their story behind my heart is super happy and one I know all of us are super excited about. ALL MY ROBRON FEELS ARE OUT!! I adore that Liv and Chas conspire a plan to help Aaron propose to the love of his life, Robert. Yesterday afternoon there was a screenshot going around of Chas, Aaron and Liv in the village and Liv's top for me with the rainbow on was so appropriate for this episode with the Robron proposal, along with Aaron being in black (my heart is happy!) However this morning when I read an article with the word heart-warming in it, I was very even more excited than I already was and I thought that it was i...

NASHVILLE MEETS LONDON - SATURDAY 28TH JULY - SET REVIEW - THE ADELAIDES

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending Nashville Meets London in Canary Wharf, where I saw The Adelaides made up of Paris Georgia, Abi Phillips and Alicia Alba who are one incredible trio and it has been such an honour to see them grow as both people and artists. I am very proud of how far they have come since I first saw them last October at their debut performance during London's Country Music Week. The Adelaides set contained 11 songs in a 60 minute set. The Adelaides opened their set with one of their own original songs Jack Daniels which I absolutely adored and what a song for the girls to open their set with plus the atmosphere was just something else clearly everyone had been waiting patiently for these fabulous girls. I'd Do It Again was one of my favourites from their set with the catchy vocals and the audiences energy was wonderful. The fact that Alicia, Abi and Paris allow each other certain moments to shine is incredible and was beautiful to watch. ...

ALBUM REVIEW - CATHERINE MCGRATH - TALK OF THIS TOWN

Catherine McGrath 's debut album, Talk of This Town will be released this Friday (27th July). Talk of This Town is made up of 13 songs. "This album is a masterpiece and show us what an incredible artist Catherine is!" Talk of This Town is a brilliant opening song for Catherine's debut album. Catherine's vocals are stunning with a guitar solo before Catherine's vocals kick in. The first verse is very open and you can tell Catherine is talking about her own journey and this takes guts and I adore artists who did this. The chorus is simply stunning with beautiful lyrics which are very inspiring and brought tears to my eyes because it's relatable - no matter how old you are you are able to achieve your dreams. The second and third verse are talking about the struggles and the 'I told you so's' but you can hear that Catherine's never gave up whatever it took she was determined. Talk of This Town is telling you to take that leap of f...

LOUISA LYTTON IS COMING BACK TO EASTENDERS AS RUBY ALLEN

Welcome to one blog, I have always hoped I would be writing but never did 100% I think it would happen but after 12 years it is! Yesterday (18th July), it was announced that Louisa Lytton  would be returning to EastEnders after 12 years to play Ruby Allen once again. Everyone who knows me knows how much I loved the character of Ruby growing up so for me she was such a relatable character and her friendship with Stacey Slater was one of my favourites the soap has ever done. Louisa joined the cast in March 2005 for her first stint which only latest 18 months before she left in November 2006 after what was an eventful time for Ruby after running away from boarding school (which was the reason for Ruby's arrival) then her friendship with Stacey Slater started off straight away this lead to so many wonderful and fun scenes between Ruby and Stacey which I have no doubt saying Louisa and Lacey Turner enjoyed doing too. Ruby also had many amazing storylines during her ...

WHY LAST NIGHT'S EMMERDALE SCENES WITH MATTY AND MOIRA SCENES WERE MOVING

In last night's episode (13th July), we saw that Moira and Matty's relationship was finally starting to look like they were heading in the right decision after Matty's transgender new that he just happened to drop on his mum (and you can see both of their points of views and feelings - like feeling shut out by one another). After Matty was seen in hospital after an attack on Thursday's episode, this was definitely the turning point in their relationship when Moira visited him and it seemed like she was ready to expect her daughter Hannah as now a transgender male called Matty. In last night's episode (13th July) , viewers saw Moira looking for her child at the hospital in which to her horror wasn't there (her facial expression said it all). Then, when Matty showed up at Butler's when it was just Cain and Faith there and Cain looked worried that Moira wasn't with him after going to collect him from the hospital so he then left to phone her leaving M...

EMMERDALE EPISODE REVIEW - TONIGHT EMMERDALE INTRODUCED MATTY

When it was announced that Hannah Barton was coming back but as a man called 'Matty' played by Ash Palmisciano, I was a little surprised because Hannah was one of my favourite Bartons' but I am excited to see how/ where this storyline goes. Ash on Matty's arrival via Digital Spy: "I'm very excited to be joining the very welcoming Emmerdale family. From nervous auditions to now working alongside the team daily has been truly amazing. Matty's a ground-breaking character to play and I can't wait to see what's ahead for him." Tonight, we saw Ash's first appearance as Matty which I absolutely loved especially as when he first entered he was sneaky around Butler's Farm even with Faith walking in and finding photo on the floor she wasn't concerned. But as Matty is searching through everything looking for his birth certificate just as Cain arrives - Cain then questions Matty's which left Matty scared before Cain pushes him leading...

DEBUT EP REVIEW - DANNY McMAHON - MOMENTARILY

Today (Friday 2nd June) will see British singer-songwriter,  Danny McMahon  release his brand new EP, Momentarily. Danny very kindly gave me the opportunity to review it for him and what an EP it is. 'This EP shows how incredibly passionate Danny is with his music.' - BringCountry2UK Couldn't Write A Love Song is a slower sounding song to start. Moments in, Danny vocals start very moving. Couldn't Write A Love Song is a very moving and meaningful song. The first chorus is about the start of the relationship and I love the choice of lyrics very thought about. The chorus is very beautiful and honest - you can tell it's about his love life (so gorgeous!) songs like this are very rare. The second verse is about all those moments you have made in your time together, I love the instrumentals after the third verse makes the song incredible. The higher vocals in the final chorus are just incredibly wonderful and gets the song to another level. Danny's voca...

Hello Dawson, Maddie and Emma. Thank you for agreeing to answer a few questions with me about your time at CMA Festival. How would you say your performances went? And what was the atmosphere like?

WHY WOMEN NEED TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER NOT TEAR EACH OTHER DOWN

Welcome back to my blog and to one I’ve wanted to publish for a few days but having had a busy weekend I forgot. Having read so many comments over the weekend online about how women are supposed to look, be a certain size and how people need to show a little more flesh (yes I am referring to the Soap Awards) but to be honest is this really necessary?! Because as long as you are confident in what you wear (no matter how bold or different it is!) surely that’s the most important thing? Or am I wrong? I thought all the women looked absolutely stunning and looked super confident and happy in their outfits. Whether you liked or hated (which I saw people tweeting about but were the hate comments necessary?! I don't believe so! Because the hate comments are the ones that stick with whoever you talk too (just think would you like to receive the comment that you are sending? If the answer is no then don’t send it. Simple!) Everyone has the right to wear whatever clothes they...

EMMERDALE EPISODE REVIEW - CHARITY FLASHBACK EPISODE

Welcome to a very different style blog with tonight's being my opinion on tonight's Charity Dingle's Flash Back Episode . Tonight's episode is written by one of my favourite writers in Maxine Alderton. So I am expecting the most wonderful episode to which I can admit, I was. So thank you, Maxine. When I first watched the spoiler Emmerdale released on Friday evening ahead of next week's I was feeling emotional because we are seeing this very different and more emotional side of Charity Dingle. The vulnerable of Charity is something I am not used to seeing when it comes to Charity but how fabulous is Emma Atkins with the emotional scenes! Before the episode, I was feeling very nervous. Opening the rather special flashback episode was Charity standing outside the pub of The Woolpack with Noah and Moses. What a beautiful family scene. I liked that Vanessa was keeping her eye on Charity from the window but I did adore the words Vanessa said to Charity. Charity ...
