The past few weeks have seen Emmerdale's beloved character Aaron Dingle go through a lot at the hands of John Sugden but there has been one character that has tried to save him and that is his ex-husband, Robert Sugden who let's be honest would do anything to save his true love. Viewers have been through a rollercoaster of emotions from Aaron falling of the gorge, Aaron being in hospital, and admitting the truth about John and his actions to Robert being arrested, but then being released as well as being desperate to know that his ex-husband, Aaron was safe and well finally leading to Aaron being released from hospital.

However, when Robert was released during last Friday's episode, (19th September) following Mackenzie giving his account of what John di...

Today (Friday 26th September) will see singer-songwriter, Colbie Caillat  releases her latest album called This Time Around featuring some of Colbie's classic tracks. With Colbie Caillat being a massive part of my childhood and her music helped me through an extremely really tough time, and to hearing this stripped back version of many classic Colbie Caillat songs. This Time Around is an duet based album featuring 12 songs and is released via Blue Jean Baby Record. Fallin' For You  with Maren Morris is a brilliant female empowerment song that sees both Colbie and Maren's voices work wonderfully well together with both artists having a great understanding of the songs lyrics and bringing their own story to the song.  Brighter Than The Sun  with Walker Hayes is an old Colbie classic that I love as it reminds me of summer days with all the memories that they bring along with the summer relationships we all probably had with Colbie bringing an uplifting version.  Ki...

Since Robert Sugden returned on our screens earlier this year, and in recent episodes he has wanted to protect his one true love, Aaron Dingle, however next week sees Robert receive a mystery visit from a man!  Why do I spell trouble? With a mystery man arriving in the Yorkshire Dales to see Robert in the village he first appears asking for directions. Following the mystery man's arrival, Robert is stunned to answer a knock at the door to a familiar face. Checking that no-one of the street is watching, Robert allows the mystery man in. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale It soon becomes apparent that the mystery man is an acquaintance from prison. Later, Victoria Sugden walks in and sees her brother holding hands with a man that isn't Aaron leaving Victoria confused and who can blame her, I am confused writing this! There has to be more to this visit which I will be interesting to learn as we don't really know about Robert's time in prison. Finally after getting rid of him, Ro...

As someone who grew up watching EastEnders and loving the Slater family growing up as they were the key family for me along with the Mitchells and Brannings. Getting to witness the return of Zoe Slater played by the character's original actress, Michelle Ryan for me was brilliant and even though her return was no surprise the quickness of her arrival was, but it was brilliant to see Stacey Slater apart of Zoe's return after 20 years during Monday 16th June's episode. However, during her first return I was very excited to learn more about the character's backstory which has happened a little over the past few episodes as I was extremely interested to see why she is now, the way she is as Zoe has always been a complexed character, and I think continuing her struggles is a great idea. Following on from Zoe's arrival back to our screen during the final scene of last Thursday's episode (28th August) after Tommy Moon went looking for his auntie, however, it was during...

During next week's episodes to Weatherfield, Coronation Street viewers will see Betsy Swain turn 18, and actress Sydney Martin recently spoke about her character's milestone, and what an eventful week the character is set to have. When Sydney Martin was asked about how do you think Betsy is feeling about her 18th birthday, with the actress commenting  "I think it's an interesting one because it's a milestone birthday, it obviously brings up a lot of emotions. She doesn't have her other mum with her to celebrate and because of that she's had to do a lot of growing up quite quickly."  Before continuing  "So as much as it's exciting and she does want that freedom I think it's probably a bit of a shock that this big birthday is here. She's officially an adult but she feels like she's missing what should be quite a big part of her life in her other mum and Mason, and I don't think she really knows how to handle that." Do you th...

Following their decision to leave the village, Aaron Dingle and John Sugden return to village for lunch with Chas Dingle who is saddened to hear that her son is definitely moving away. When Victoria Barton reveals that Aaron and John are moving into John’s childhood home, Robert storms out and who can blame him knowing how much Robert loves Aaron and all he wants is for Aaron to be close by and safe. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale Robert later interrupts Aaron packing up his belongings and tries to convince him that he's making a mistake as Aaron wavers when Robert moves closer claiming that their connection is very much alive something I think many of us Robron fans agree is still there. As tension builds, Robert kisses Aaron, but Aaron struggles with his feelings, but what does this mean for Robert and Aaron going forward? Emmerdale airs Monday - Friday at 7.30pm on ITV1 with episodes available from 7am on the day episodes air  on ITVX as well as YouTube .

Today (Friday 22nd August) US singer-songwriter,  Lainey Wilson  releases the deluxe version of Whirlwind which was released exactly a year ago. The deluxe version is made up of 19 tracks with 5 being brand-new. Lainey is known for taking her fans on a journey with her music and Whirlwind is no different with  Keep Up With Jones  bringing Lainey's fun country loving side to the song with catchy lyrics whilst letting listeners know that it is ok if you don't put up with your friends.  Country's Cool Again  follows on wonderfully with it being one of my favourite songs of the album that is also released - what makes you country to everyone is every different and I like that Lainey embraces this. The chorus is super catchy and the sass is spot on along with the vocal delivery being great with the softer tones mixed in beautifully.  Good Horses featuring Miranda Lambert  is a duet, I never knew I needed to hear with the beautiful story-telling mixed w...

From the moment Ryan Hawley arrived back on our screens as Robert Sugden back at the end of May - the chemistry has been there between the former lovers, Robron aka Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle. Tonight's episode (Monday 18th August) saw Aaron Dingle comfort his ex-husband, Robert when he hit the self-destruct button leading to a moment of passion between the ex-husbands. Once alone in his room, Robert started to throw things seeing him in a rage of anger that was until Aaron walked past hearing the noise of what was going on and entered Keepers Cottage where he took hold and held Robert to stop him from injuring himself - what a wonderful Robron interaction of the episode. All Robert needed was that protective hug from Aaron and I have no doubt that, that moment made so many Robron fans happy! Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale The second half of the episode saw Aaron listen closely to Robert as he knows what it's like to go through things alone and their bond is unmatched as all ...

Today (Friday 15th August) Priscilla Block  has released her more vulnerable song Couldn't Care Less of a new era of music from this talented artist. Couldn't Care Less begins with a soft instrumental filled with many honest and raw moments that are extremely joined by some relatable lyrics that you can hear come from Priscilla's personal experience that comes from social media as well as being down to the society we live in. There were parts of the song that I caught myself getting emotional over as I caught myself relating to parts. Photo Credit: Britton Webb The lines about performing and being even more vulnerable at times broke me as I have to admit having artists are friends it's sometimes easy to forgot the struggles that they can face - but I also think if you haven't anything nice to say, say nothing! However, it was the real life moments that you miss that can be the hardest especially when you are on the road, but Priscilla's vocal tone throughout is ...

During tonight's hour-long episode (Thursday 14th August), viewers to the Yorkshire based soap watched as Charity Dingle had flashbacks to a drunken night when she kissed Vanessa Woodfield. Following this, Vanessa turned Charity out onto the street clearly rejecting her. Charity then found Ross Barton who offered her comfort.   This a twist that many wouldn't haven't seen coming, but one for soapland. With Ross now aware of Charity's surrogacy pregnancy announcement pressed her to know if the baby could potentially be his. Charity attempted to reassure him by stating that she is carrying an embryo. However, as the celebrations in the pub continued, Ross's persistent question regarding the baby's paternity remained unanswered. Talking about if filming these scenes were fun, Mike Parr said:  “They were great and the relationship is so spiky and antagonistic between Ross and Charity - it’s fun to do.”  Then when Mike was asked about there being a lot of twists and ...

The Easy Part was written by Gabby alongside co-writers Zach Abend, Jon Nite, and Michael Hardy best known as HARDY and produced by Zach Kale, Zach Abend, and Ross Copperman. Photo Credit: Robby Klein The Easy Part  is one hell of a powerful song that captures a lot of emotion accompanied by a piano instrumental as the song lets us listeners in as it begins to take us on a journey that also showcases Gabby's stunning vocal tones. However, its the chorus that features some of The Easy Part's most powerful lyrics as you can feel the weight of us many different emotions on Gabby's shoulders as she sings that finally seem to get a little lighter as the song continues. 'Come on slam that front door, Go on tell me where I can go' is one of the most hard-hitting lines in Gabby Barrett's music. Sometimes the harder it is to walk away from someone or something th...

During tonight's visit (Monday 28th July) to  Emmerdale , viewers will begin with a scene with Bob Hope talking to Mary Goskirk about the incredible football match yesterday (Sunday 27th July) that was specially filmed celebrating the momentous victory over Spain in the UEFA Euro Final.  Thank you, Emmerdale for deciding to add this moment into the episode. Viewers will also get a glimpse of the aftermath of a lively celebration at the Woolpack with the disarray clearly indicating the villagers had gathered to watch the Lionesses make history. This scene was a last-minute addition filmed with the hopeful anticipation of an England win allowing Emmerdale to capture and reflect the national excitement surrounding the Lionesses' triumph. Talking of the episode, producer, Laura Shaw explains  “With the nation getting behind the Lionesses. We knew the fictional characters in Emmerdale would’ve been doing just the same so it felt right and proper that we should reflect this res...

Today (Friday 18th July), Canadian singer-songwriter, Taylor-Rae has released her latest EP, Heaven Right Now which is made up of 4 tracks. Heaven Right Now  begins with a guitar instrumental mixed with Taylor-Rae's emotional tones and songwriting filled with honesty that is clearly written from the heart. The emotional lyrics got me thinking about my Grandma who sadly passed away a few years back and with her anniversary over the weekend, I am so pleased that it got me thinking about my memories with her. The chorus for me is the most stunning part of the song, however, as Heave Right Now continues Taylor-Rae reminds you that it is OK to cry on those emotional days. The second verse demonstrates a lot of vulnerable and one that makes you appreciate your life. Heaven Right Now is my new favourite song. Bittersweet  takes Taylor -Rae's EP to another level as part of her wonderful journey. The chorus is super catchy and one that sees the happier side of who Taylor-Rae is as an a...

With the brilliant,  Jacqueline Jossa  nominated for Best Serial Performance in the long list at this year's National Television Awards which I really hope she gets shortlisted for! However, sadly this year at The Inside Soap Awards, Jacqueline isn't nominated however, there is a Soap Superstar category and I believe that Jacqueline should be up for this because ever since she arrived in Albert Square as Lauren Branning in September 2010 - over that time Jacqueline has tackled some brilliant and hard-hitting storylines from the alcohol storyline which saw many viewers open their eyes and see what a brilliant young actress she was at the time. I can't move on without mentioning the Christmas Day 2017 episode where Lauren and her sister, Abi jumped off the Queen Vic roof in one episode where I cried. Jacqueline's return last year has seen her character, Lauren reunite with Peter Beale played by the original actor, Thomas Law which has been an interesting relationship to...
