The Time To Eat Chocolate, All Things Autism & The Final of People Who Have The Will and Skill!

Hello world! Welcome back to another blog! As we head into a new month (where has the time gone?!?!?!), this week has been busy for sure, as it consisted of celebrating the time where a big rabbit gives us chocolate, the start of a week to celebrate all things autism, and the final of the iconic gameshow! So without further ado, here is what I got up to on the week commencing 30th March 2026!

Content Posting:

This week I managed to post one of my pieces of content in the form of a video in the style of Miranda Hart’s sitcom. This got the inspiration of things I got up to in 2026 throughout the first quarter, which included the latest TikTok trend on Bridgerton. I’m glad I managed to get it out there, and as I’m writing this, I’m in the process of looking at the Easter sketch, with two sections of the in between bits being filmed. Here is the sketch below, and don’t forget to give it a like and subscribe!

Acting Jobs: 

This week I applied for some more jobs. I got up to date with the ones I wanted to apply for, and also updated both my Spotlight and Mandy profile, as it needed a huge update. With some more stuff happening as seen on Spotlight, I can’t wait to use this tool to excel in my career. 

Autism Acceptance Week: 

This week was officially the start of Autism Acceptance Week. Here I managed to upload my speech from A Kind Of Spark and my first 4 videos of the people/shows that have impacted me as an autistic person.

Acting Class:

This week in my acting class we had a couple of new people, we did a few improvisation games to get us into the mood, which were a lot of fun. We then looked at a script which was part of a bigger project, with the main topic being about how you break it down for an audition process, making bold choices, with some of them being the first thing that come to your head. I have a feeling I won’t be able to get mine recorded due to doing something different when I go back to in person classes, but that’s not going to stop me from recording it as a self tape and posting it into my socials, that way I’m still working on my craft and taking the lessons I’ve learnt. So at least it’s not a complete waste of time. I also need to get some stuff to send as my teacher mentioned some really exciting stuff happening which I can’t wait to see what they are! 

Act On This Podcast:

This weeks podcast was the quarterly Table Talk. This had everything, from what’s coming up on Act On This, to wanting to change the workshop world. I won’t say all in fear of spoilers, but he also said an important thing about making your own work and putting in the work in general (as it’s called Act On This for a reason”. Overall, a brilliant and insightful session, and I’ll definitely take lots of things on board over the next few weeks!

Coronation Street: 

This week I watched the show from 24th, 25th, 26th and 29th all directed by Aashish Gadhvi. One of the main storylines that is the beginning of Theo Silverton. And it all started when George was giving a description on biscuit dunking, with Todd having the idea to set up a social media account where after noticing his happy mood, he announced to George and Christina that he and Theo are back together, shocking them both. And whilst Christina and George were being all lovey dovey, and pleased with the social media account so far, they were soon questioning Todd about if getting back together is a good idea, with Todd clearly under Theos spell. Todd was quick in reporting it back to Theo when he made food, with Theo suggesting to talk to them himself. This resulted in him trying to turn on the charm, which they accept. The three were then talking about the relationship, with George and Christina convinced he was moving on, but Theo used Noah as an excuse (of course he did). George and Christina were still not convinced, but the two were wondering what they can do to not get in Todd’s way. It wasn’t long before Todd was coming into the Bistro, with Gary finding out the news and is pleased. Todd was also showing his appreciation, with George claiming he wants to protect him due to being the only family figure in his life, with Theo revealing to Gary about not actually cancelling the registry office, claiming he wants to surprise him and asked Gary to be a witness. We then witnessed Theo taking Todd to the Bistro, bumping into Gary and secretly checking in if he’s still okay with going ahead. Theo picking up Todd at Shuttleworths, with George holding the fort, revealing Todd’s wedding, making Todd feel uneasy. Now I had to skip some of it due to being a hard watch, but I liked how Todd was processing this news, thinking that what Billy said about Theo along with George and Christina were right, reluctantly still made his vows, and the new celebrant was clearly finding his feet (a nice touch from Aashish anyway). Everyone was then gathering to the Rovers, and the  announcement got Summer, Sarah and George shocked. So much so that Summer and George were talking about Theos intentions and if Todd would want them there, with George reporting it back to Christina with Theo losing her temper when she overstepped. And marriage life was only about to get worse, as Theo made a hidden comment getting Todd trapped, wanting a break from “consummating”, with another comment getting him down even more. George was then coming in to see Todd, knowing he has his back no matter what. And this was the moment where it was about to be the beginning of the end, as and a comment by Theo was overheard by George as Todd had to go out, using a Jekyll and Hyde analogy to describe the situation he witnessed. Theo tried to make out it was a joke, offering his services in the process. It didn’t work though, as George was reporting what he heard back to Summer, realising that the wedding was a way to trap him. It then got them thinking back to the past few months, resorting to a plan to get Todd away from Theo for good. And rightly so, as Theo was tricking Todd into thinking George doesn’t get the joke, and soon got a message from the man himself to offer his bed. He knew that wasn’t enough, as Christina gathered Summer, Glenda and Sarah to tell them all about Theo, with Theo mentioning a joke about sausages with Todd taking a while to understand it, and bad mouthing George, making a comment about it. We then saw everyone talking about it in Shuttleworths, and George working out about the real reason why Gary was invited and none of Todd’s friends. It then got Sarah wondering if it’s linked to Billy, followed by talking about the gay night and that night in December (the special episode where we got to see the reality of a coercive controlling relationship). But they had to stop as Todd came into Shuttleworths where the chat ended, asking what was going on. Todd was quick in denying the fact he’s being abused, with George trying to make him see the reality, with even a slip of the tongue not helping. It then resorted in Sarah chatting to Gary about it, asking about what he was like at the wedding, whilst Todd refused to answer Theos call. We then saw Gary finding Todd, checking in on Theos well-being, and he soon realised that Sarah was right, and a small comment from Theo was overheard by him, and seeing nervousness from Todd got him treading carefully. After Summer coming in to the cafe to ask Amy a question (assumingly linking to the current situation), Gary used a unique approach to find out Theos true colours, and let’s just say that Gary made it crystal clear Theo shouldn’t get on the wrong side of him (and well done to Mickey North and James Cartwright for working on this moment in question). I’m just glad when Gary came into the Rovers to reveal that everyone was right about Theo, and Todd making out he wants to move to Belfast when Theo reveals he’s been offered a job there… We also saw Betsy offering to look after Connie whilst Lisa and Carla were at work, with Lisa being abit uneasy, and like all embarrassing parents, they were soon teasing her about Dylan. The two having some alone time, but the wrong end of the stick got Carla misunderstanding, which was quite entertaining and relatable family wise. Lisa was then bringing Connie to Carla’s workplace, needing to go into work, and discussing wedding plans and her case which resolved in Dev being behind bars (which I’ll get onto in a moment). But after she came back to get an update on Connie, a little joke and talking about Dev was soon followed by properly looking into the wedding (which as seen from the fast forward episode, is going to be intense). And one of the suspects of who will be killed I think was taking place, as it started with Lisa needing to go to work on nights, and Jodie was offering to help, claiming she has a full clear DBS check. But I could understand the shock when Lisa came in, showing her dislike and wanting to check her references again. I think she’s right as she was using her detective skills there… Another villain in the form of Megan Walsh was still getting one family divided. It all started with Will refusing to see a counsellor but soon gave in, whilst Daniel saw Sam in school about Megan, asking if there’s evidence he had about Megan, with Hope convinced he’s in on it. The aftermath of the counselling session didn’t go to plan, and Kit revealing about the evidence on the phones and not being much help. Sam soon saw Daniel again, feeling uneasy in what Hope said, throwing his phone in the bin in fear bless him. We also saw Will trying to get hold of Megan, with Susie wondering why he’s crying, giving him good advice, although I hope she doesn’t get involved in all of this… Ollie was also quick in grilling Will about not going into school when Eva comes in, and talking about their mum, resulting in Will having a bad day in school. After Hope made a cheeky comment about The Kabin, Sam was wanting to stay a low profile and explained why he threw away his phone, making out Daniel is part of it, getting caught by Tyrone. Working that situation, Ben was drinking by himself, and after Steve was giving some football facts, be noticed Ben coming, soon confiding him and Tim about blaming himself. It then led to Tim talking about Faye’s pregnancy at 12 and Amy talking about her assault on Aaron, soon getting knocked up by Eva. Tyrone was also assuring Sam that Hope is a wind up merchant, but Sam was wanting to be more vigilant. Driscoll matriarch Maggie throughout all of it was reminding Ollie of a latest orders, who in turn reminded her of everyone knowing about Will, questioning Amy about it and also reminding her that provoking Will was not going to help. Ollie was then meeting Amy and talking about Megan, giving her own take on it. He then used Amy’s advice and a Buddhist analogy, which was going somewhere, but was soon interrupted by Maggie who has her own way of wanting the truth. As mentioned earlier Lisa was talking to Carla about Dev, and it all started with Lisa finding Mal, who claimed to have a flashback on the attack. We then saw Bernie telling Kit about the last interaction, only for Kit to get a text about Mals attacker, with Lisa revealing that it was Dev. After Chesney was talking about his availability, and Lisa soon arrested Dev, with Bernie finding out shortly after. We then saw Dev being interviewed, then being in a cell and Kit feeling uneasy knowing it was him, but Dev is also family. Sarah was then giving Bernie an update, and Gemma was soon quick in finding out the truth. Thankfully Dev came back due to getting released on bail, confronting Kit about it, followed by Bernie bumping into Mal, revealing he knew about Kit, giving her an impossible choice. This left Bernie struggling with the decision whilst Gemma and Chesney talk to Dev avoid the case. It then got Gemma suggesting to go to the pub, but Bernie made out she has a dentist appointment, when really she was heading to the hotel room following Mal’s offer, sparking concern from Ryan, using a technique of food and drinks to calm herself in a terrifying situation. I definitely didn’t want to be in her shoes, as Mal was making out his feelings for Bernie were real, ordering room service as a way to get help (maybe?!?!). But Mal soon lost his temper putting the blame on Bernie, and I’m just glad Ryan came to the rescue. Soon afterwards Bernie was reporting it back to Kit, convinced Mal will tell the truth about it not being Dev. But if anything it made things worse, as Mal came barging in, revealing that Kit attacked Mal and flipped the story about the night she came to the hotel room. This resulted in the couple having more tension, with Dev going to the police to make sure the charges are dropped, but was soon questioning his marriage in The Rovers. 

I also watched the show from 30th. During that week, we saw Tim noticing Bernie feeling down, with Steve giving her some advice on her marriage. It then soon followed with Dev revealing that the charges have been dropped, whilst he and Bernie got an interesting question from Kirk, and an interruption from Steve got the mood lightened down and made it less tense. After George was buying an interesting hat, Dev had a go at Kit, and he definitely made it clear that if he bends the rules, Dev will report him, which I think even startled Kit. All I can say is they were definitely making up for lost time, as Dev was being romantic with Bernie in the cafe, wanting to work on their marriage. But as they were heading on their date, thankful to work on their marriage, Mal was soon spying on them, knowing that it’s not over yet… 

The Megan drama was also another hot topic, as after Steve made a joke with Tim, he checks in on Ollie when he comes into the cafe, with steve suggesting to Tim to help after his experience with Trisha. During this, Will was trying to get hold of Megan, with Ben trying to get through to him and suggesting a counsellor, with Maggie coming in. Sally was agreeing with Steve about Wills situation, with Ben overhearing it and making out it’s so similar to Will and Megan. Maggie was also wanting Will to be honest with Ben, and Sally pointing it out made Tim finally realising that he needs to be asking Trisha questions. Later on, Ben and Will were chatting, but to little success, still thinking Megan has done nothing wrong, with Ben’s emotions finally boiling over. After Tim was messaging Trisha about wanting answers,  Will met Megan, who convinced him he needed space and he offloaded everything to her, which somehow managed to persuade him that everything will be alright. The next morning after Driscolls we’re joking about boy bands, Will declined breakfast, and Ben was confiding in Eva which was overheard by Maggie. It then led to Maggie confronting Adam and Alya in the cafe, which was stopped by Bernie, followed by Megan kicking out will, convinced it’s not a good idea and checked in with him. Whilst that was happening, Tim was telling Sally and Steve about Trisha, with Sally reporting her social media is gone, and mocking Tim about finishing a delayed hotpot (where she later came back in to complain about him not buying her a sandwich, which was quite funny), whilst checking in on Ben after Tim opened up about his heart, but soon got a call from the school. It was then when Maggie was confronting Megan, giving her a chilling threat, and a violent altercation could be bad. Later on, Ben was asking Will about where he was and reassured him it’ll all blow over, offering him to take him to school. Maggie’s plan of keeping an eye on Will soon went downhill after being unable to find a tracker on his phone, as he reported it to Megan, who then flipping the story of how “Maggie attacked her”, claiming to lose the baby. The next day after Eva was looking for Susie's shoe, Lisa coming in to talk to Maggie, along with Ben and Eva about Megan,  with Maggie claiming she slipped. But secretly, Deb saw Will, who was convinced losing the baby is a sign to leave her. The family were then discussing Megan, with Will coming in and revealing the tracker, claiming that it won’t prove anything. We then saw Maggie seeing Megan again, revealing she had a miscarriage and flipped it about it being Daniel’s. It was also nice of Ken looking after Bertie throughout all of it, with Daniel asking about Megan and her behaviour around him, so contemplating his love life. Maggie soon came back to the family to reveal that Megan lost the baby and dropping the allegation, with Ben asking why and berated her for losing the only proof they need. We then saw Megan seeing a counsellor where she revealed to have a termination but then revealed to have still kept it. And let’s just say that Megan had an impact on some families, as Adam was getting berated by Tracy, whilst Ken was more bothered in Daniel after seeing his vulnerability, promising to speak to him after court (which I’ll get onto in the next two sections). Soon Ben and Eva were reflecting on what happened but that Ben would still love him, with Eva wondering if the dropping of the compliant was part of the plan. Following Maggie’s ways of getting the truth, she and Ben were still tenss, with Ben following the rules of the police and refusing to listen to her. And in true Maggie fashion, she was asking Will to tell her the truth, with Will still denying it and being upset of Megan, talking about her experience and using a song analogy. Maggie was also reassuring Will that he’s a victim, still denying the whole truth, and soon caught out by Ben and Eva when she got more aggressive and convinced he nearly had him. At the front of the pub, Ken came in with Tracy and Amy, checking in on Ben, who blames himself for everything. Ben was then having another go at Maggie, who claimed she was trying to get him to tell the truth, with each having what felt like a point scoring match, and a comment from Ben got her surprised. At the Bistro, Adam flund Daniel, showing his worries, as Daniel was blaming himself after an altercation with Bethany (which I’ll mention in the last section), and questioning his choice of woman. But another storyline may be on the horizon, as a comment from Maggie about Alan got Ben asking her what she meant… Eva was reassuring him of the argument, thinking the comment about Alan was in the heat of a moment, with Ben not so sure. There was also some good news coming up for one resident, as Debbie and Lou were on good terms after a class, recalling a memory, and Lou wishing her luck on her appeal, making a joke on a soirée. But it was clear that her dementia symptoms were deteriorating, as Debbie was recovering from a spell and Lou was checking in, wanting it not to go around and Lou trying to be a friend. But Lou was about to make the ultimate sacrifice, as she found Debbie looking for her journal, reminding her of her appeal when she decides to talk to the officer. Soon Debbie confronting the officer Miss Cordwell, prompting Lou to make a distraction, getting Debbie overwhelmed. She was then apologising to miss Cordwell, thinking it’s her dementia, revealing Lou is in solitary confinement because of it. But throughout all of it, Debbie managed to find her journal in her pillow, realising the consequences for Lou. But pretty soon, she was coming back from solitary confinement and invited her to a woodwork class, but Debbie declined it as she got a visitor. And it was none other than Kevin and Jack, who confirmed that everything is fine and we’re talking about knitting Carl a jumper along with learning new things. Debbie was then reporting it back to Lou about how she’s pleased with seeing Kevin and Jack, with Lou giving her a present in the form of a 4 leaf clover, feeling good about her leaving. There was also drama for George for two very different reasons, one for Todd and the other for his own problems. It all started with Gary confiding in Maria about how he didn’t see anything, getting reassured and George needing his help. We then saw Gary calling out Theo, with George begging Todd to move, giving an escape bag incase he changes his mind. Todd was then making out George came when Theo asks why, and Todd making a point for the wrong end of the stick. During all of this, Adam reassured Alya it’ll run over, with George and Christina walking in and Maggie reminding them of court. George and Christina were also shocked in finding Damien with Alya and Adam, where George tried to say his piece but Damien was not convinced and Christina tried her back in calming him down. And George’s gesture of an escape bag may be foiled as theo spotted it (which I skipped some knowing it was a hard watch). George and Christina were then talking about Todd and the case in the cafe, with her explaining the situation to Summer and bumped into Adam and Daniel, causing more awkward tension. Soon, everyone in the bistro talking about the case results, with Theo and Todd coming in with his escape bag and revealed the move to Belfast. This got Summer working out Theo’s game, and George confronting him resulted in Todd berating them, and George blaming himself for it. But that may have to be parked to bed as Soon George and Christina getting ready for court, with Glenda shaking support in a mint, and Todd found them and apologised, with George questioning him on if he’s scared of Theo, still showing his care for him. The court case was then taking place, with the result not being what George wanted. The aftermath of it saw George, Christina and Glenda reflecting on it, with Todd coming round to encourage him to fight and reluctantly joined them. It obviously didn’t got down well with Theo, as he confronting Todd, and bullied him into going away. And for the Platts, Maria was teasing Bethany about her date, and encouraged to go for it when she mentions her insecurities of her stoma. We then saw Jodie going in for a pumper and m talking about her live life, and a comment from Maria got an insult from Jodie, who ruined Bethany’s date. Bethany was then showing Sarah her date top, with Sarah opening up about Todd and asking Bethany about the date. But soon Bethany was calling Ethan after being stood up, with Jodie coming in (little does she know she cancelled it ) saying that Shona got her to spy on her, and offered to stay and have a drink. Soon enough, Sarah was coming to comfort Bethany, with Jodie making a comment about Kit whilst asking her about Todd, linking to “Jodie’s past”, with her advice not being convinced by Bethany, who vows to figure out the truth. Later on, Lisa bumped into Bethany and David at Speed Dhal, talking about Connie and Jodie. At The Kabin, Brian naming a joke on Bethany, but soon had a laugh about it, with Jodie coming in with Connie and mentioned about another drunk, bringing up her bad date with Ethan. And they did just that, as Bethany and Jodie were going into the Bistro, where she was checking in on Daniel who reported her back on what’s going on, reflecting on Sinead. But a comment got Jodie defending her showing her gratitude’s and apologising for getting her wrong. Although given the fast forward episode, I wonder if she’ll have her doubts about Jodie again?!?!

Hollyoaks:

This week saw a secret being revealed, one relationship on the rocks, and the return of an iconic villain. Mondays episode saw Ste confide in Leela about seeing Ro with “another woman”, and soon goes to confront him whilst being comforted by Kathleen-Angel when wondering why everyone was off school. Thankfully he covered it up by saying it was someone from his support group, and soon apologised to Diane for how he behaved. And Diane after overhearing Ant and Dee Dee made the decision to get the chemotherapy, realising she wants as much time as possible. But Ste was still unconvinced, and thinking Ro was hiding drugs, he then found a picture similar to Rex, who soon revealed it was him in the picture, and that it was him who Ro was with. Elsewhere, Warren was trying to get the truth from Jenson after spotting him getting money out of the till, and getting Theresa to spy on him. After being rejected by Gemma, Warren found out he’s been giving money away, with Jenson revealing it’s for his brother Spencer, followed by revealing that he thinks Warren is dead. I know Jenson stated that he’s not a bad guy, but I don’t really know what his game is when he imitates Warren? Tuesdays episode saw the aftermath of Ste finding out Rex’s secret, who then explains how it happened since grace died. Ste insisted that he was more bothered about why he didn’t tell him, and the meeting with the celebrant showed that he’ll stand by his side. But an intimate moment in the garage soon said otherwise, and it may cause a strain on their relationship. A note it couple who may have trouble in paradise is sienna and Cleo, who were discharged from the hospital with baby Joseph. I could get why Cleo wanted no stress, after Mercedes came in with Jenson and had a point scoring match on who they got with in the past, but their relationship may be in trouble when Cleo accused Sophie of hurting Joseph, when really it was to place a Teddy in his cot. Dodger was also given the news about Sully's court date coming forward, with a possibility of Sully pleading not guilty. And it couldn’t have come at a worse time, as despite a disagreement in the market, Donny and Misbah were finally engaged again. Misbah insisted she didn’t need to do anything he didn’t want to, but when Dodger revealed how he’ll have to give evidence of Sully pleads not guilty, he decided to take a stand to get Sully behind bars for good. Finally, Wednesdays addition saw Donny getting ready for court, understandably frustrated that he has to spend his day in court in order to put Sully away. But not before he stands up to him outside of the courtroom, where whatever he said, it must’ve made Sully scared, as he ended up pleading guilty. The celebrations, however, were short lived when he got a call and ended up visiting the one and only Clare Devine, who offered him a chance to get rid of Sully for good, convinced that they’re meant to be together. Donny, content with his life, declined the offer, but that wasn’t going to let Clare get what she wants, as let’s just say she used AI and the help of a bent cop to her advantage. We also saw the aftermath of Ste and Rex, convinced that he’s broken up with him. Let’s just say Froggy is always going to have his back when making Ste see that if he love him whatever he wears, he’d support him not reject him. Rex showed his gratitude to him before heading out to fix a breakdown, but little does he know it may be the last time he sees him, as Clare comes back to the house wanting Froggy's help. But Froggy secretly ringing the police got the two into a dangerous situation. I know I’ve seen that John Middleton will be leaving the show, but was this the moment he makes a possibly gruesome departure? And following Cleo having a go at Sophie, thinking she’s a danger to Joseph, her tune changed when Sienna revealed she actually wet the bed. This made Cleo be more open about why she was so frightened, adapting to being a mum and step mum. I’m just glad that Sophie was able to forgive her through a Easter card drawing, but her facial expressions and what Sienna overheard said otherwise, and I wonder how that will go down when the family have only just built bridges? 

Eastenders:

This week in Walford saw a new business opening, baby drama for two different residents, and one resident who is trying get something which I’m still unsure to this day what it is. Mondays episode saw George make preparations for his new business “Knight Fusion”, and whilst discussing things on the menu, Nicola had her own worries when noticing something odd about the baby. Gina and harry soon convinced her to check it out, and George eventually found out, with Nicola stating that he didn’t want to worry along with the business. Also wanting to help business wise was Vinny, who told Penny about a backer wanting to make an investment before coming to the baby scan. But he was stopped by Priya when she overheard their conversation, who then revealed the consequences of having a backer after discussing her past. He soon made it in time for the baby scan, followed by telling Penny that he decided not to go for the backer and do things their way. But whilst the baby may be fine and healthy, the drama has started when the sonographer revealed that the baby was further along than Penny realised, and soon came to the conclusion that Harry is in fact the father of her baby. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes after Vinny pointed out her unease and Gina admitting she doesn’t want kids. Elsewhere, Honey finally managed to get an appointment for her menopause symptoms, getting the answers she finally wants. Whilst that was happening, Bea took her place for her hair appointment, where a few comments soon turned into praise from Josh (which I’ll mention in a moment). But a slip of the tongue from Kim gave Bea a chance to cause more chaos again, this time linking to Billy with a woman called Tina. And Josh was still getting to know Patrick, and confided in Denise about how he may not accept him because of what he likes and his sexuality. Denise then reported it back to Patrick, and she was also right in how Josh can trust him, revealing everything and being accepted by his grandfather. I thought that was a lovely moment indeed. And Vicki wanted to help out Zack by offering a spare room, convinced that what happened between them is in the past and he’ll be closer to Barney (who decided to move back in with Nicola until the baby comes). But it didn’t seem to work after he revealed he’ll be moving to Hackney for a few days. Tuesdays episode saw Penny explain to Lauren and Oscar how she got with Harry on the day he was going to rehab, discussing if it’s best to tell Vinny the truth. Lauren reckons he should know, whilst Oscar thought it was a bad idea. The pressure soon boiled over when Penny lashed out at Suki for not wanting to go ahead with the shop, and soon had a friend in fellow mum to be Nicola after Suki questioned her in the cafe. During a mock tail, it looked as though Penny was about to reveal the truth, but a call from Penny got her bending it, which at first felt safe. For now anyway. Vinny then surprised her with the building to her shop, situ the money coming through and celebrating in Harry’s Barn. Harry was then talking to Nicola about how Gina doesn’t want kids, adamant that it was nothing to do with timing, and reminded her of Shireen. Nicola then worked out after he revealed about a night with Penny that he may be the biological father, or she will tell Vinny the truth. Oh dear… elsewhere, Josh started his first day at the salon, coming with his own kit, but I can only imagine his disgust when he was on sweeping duty. But at least he got a lovely tip from a customer, and soon asked Denise about Jasmine’s statement. I also liked how he gave some of his wages to Sandra (showing she raised him well), and soon asked her about Jasmine, who advised her to ask someone else about it, soon thinking about Oscar when he sees him from afar. Elsewhere, and actually doing it because he’s being a good brother, girls Vicki on Zack moving into hers after everything that happened between them. After a lovely moment with Barney (making it clear he hasn’t let him down), Zack was definitely knocked back when Vicki thought that moving in with her isn’t a good idea, and Nicolas reaction to it was not one he wanted to hear. Vicki then told Ross about Zack's situation when asking about it, and he’d be pleased to have him round, knowing that Sharon would want that. He then took matters into his own hands and offered Zack a place to stay, with Zack adamant that it’ll be good for Barney, reminding her that nothing will happen if they don’t let it. And it looks as though Bea was trying to stir the pot again after she was cold towards Billy following a revelation Kim said, who reported it back to Honey. But it looked as though her plan was fooled when revealing Honey knew and that it had been dealt with, and I’m still unsure what her aim is. Although a reference to wanting to kill someone may have given me a clue, and if it is what I think it is, I think Billy and Honey need ti watch their backs. Wednesdays episode saw the preparations being made for Knight Fusion opening, and it was clear that George was not struggling, but needed a break knowing he has that and the baby to think about. He was also telling Nicola to rest, after she made a comment about Zack being desperate for a job and accused him of stealing Barney. She also reminded Penny of the deal they made, which she reported it back to Oscar (who was literally filling his belly of food) and Lauren, weighing up two options of the DNA test. But in the end she decided to not do it, flipping it back to getting Nicola wondering what would  happen if Harry were to find out, Gina leaving him and how he may hit rock bottom again. But it looks like she may have bigger things to worry about when she starts getting pains from the baby, which died down after Harry came. But they soon happened again after Harry advised her to go home, and being alone was the wrong timing. Elsewhere, Elaine was preparing for her campaign, but Linda revealed of a double booking, possibly be done by Ian with Elaine soon reminding him of how she booked everything first. She soon confided in George about why she wanted to do a campaign in the first place, and he soon offered Knight Fusion as a place to host her campaign which was really thoughtful. Although her encounter with Ian and the posters made things interesting again. Zack was also using football as a way to help with his homework (which I didn’t even understand), and a simple gesture from Vicki got clocked by Mark, and I wasn’t sure if that was out of love or wanting to cause trouble. And it looked as though there was still some tension between the pair when Zack cut himself and Vicki got him bandage up. he soon got interrupted by Ross, who earlier was looking at wedding plans. Billy was also wondering of Beas true intentions, as Honey going to the opening as a way to avoid Beas terrible cooking for her annoyed, and Billy even more so when she finds her and Tommy moving a duvet in the house. It was then reported back to Honey, making the decision to let her know it was time to move out, but Billy wasn’t convinced she’ll go through with it. And after talking about Josh, Yolande shared her concerns with Denise about Patrick needing to record a video statement, and then discussing to Patrick about recording the statement and taking some time in Trinidad, spending time with Isaac in the process. Finally, Thursdays episode saw the Trueman family discuss Patrick’s time away whilst the trial is taking place. But a comment from Kim got Josh uncomfortable, with Denise advising him to look elsewhere for answers. It then got him to see Oscar, knowing he’s the other person that knew Jasmine best. It then prompted him to go and see her himself. Elsewhere at Knight Fusion, the opening was cut short when Nicola was struggling, convinced it was false labour after experiencing similar situation with Barry and Barney. And whilst George was trying to distract her with baby names, Nicolas tough exterior started to crack when she mentions her fears of her and the baby, who they decide to call Ivy. And the opening of Knight Fusion was definitely cut short when she was rushed into emergency C Section, where thankfully the baby was okay but in a incubator due to being born early. But George was determined to step up now after telling ivy all about Nicola (who couldn’t go in due to her having a temperature). All of this and checking in on harry prompted her to take the DNA test, knowing for definite who is the father of her baby. Elsewhere, Elaine and Ian were having an honest conversation about their campaign, and how it all started with simply a table being used. But them admitting their mistakes and Elaine expressing her struggles since divorcing George got the two of them back on good terms, and even Linda was surprised to see the two of them getting along. It may be put to bed for now, but I do genuinely wonder if it’ll stay like this when they run their campaigns? And Billy lashed out her feelings on Bea, who was convinced that the mattress was a gift. But hearing Denise talking to Josh about an AI app got her setting a new plan, and I still don’t know what her intentions are. All I do know is that Billy will be made a hot topic linking to it. 

Cooper & Fry:

This week I watched the last two episodes f this show starring Rob James-Collier and Mandip Gill.

Episode 3’s case took us to a village called Withens, with a man giving a speech to a group in The Fatted Calf, giving a speech in preparation for a protest, and a couple looking out. We also saw a young man travelling to a quarry and getting fatally shot.  Write the case, Ben was sorting out the shower after the water went cold, and an offer from breakfast was declined when they got a call from Paul. The two were then going to the crime scene, and a man called Michael Henden claimed he didn’t know where he was going after nearly bumping into the place. Dr Taylor was able to identify the body in the form of Neil Goodwin, suggesting he’s been here for a night. And Michael back in Withens, was clearly in destress with someone shouting to keep Firth Water out of it. We then saw Ben and Diane going to Neil’s house, noticing the protest signs, soon giving chase to a vicar in the form of Derek Alton. It then led to Derek getting interviewed, claiming he was startled, finding out Neil was dead. Derek was then giving all his evidence and revealed Neil was a caretaker, not mentioning who he’ll see. We then encountered a man called Lucas Oxley, a neighbour of Neil’s , wanting to know where he was, revealing he was talking to him the day before, and soon recognising ben and mentioned the Fatted Calf, suggesting a rememberance. This left Diane wondering the connection between Lucas and Ben, soon looking around and finding a well and not finding anything. The two were then looking at Neil’s house, reminding of Ben’s childhood love of antiques roadshow, and Diane finding stuff to find that Neil may have been threatened, and seeing a costumer figure. At the station, Paul was giving a brief and recapping what happened, including the costume character, and Todd coming in to find out about the case of Emma Runshaw and her link between Neil Goodwin, with the two being tasked to go to Withens whilst reminding Ben of a football related event. We also saw Diane getting another text from “Dave” whilst meeting the Runshaws and how Sarah and Howard Runshaw were doing a local Remembrance Day for her, and the two were asking about the night Neil died, claiming Neil controlled Emma and Sarah revealing she nearly died during childbirth, with Diane having a suspicious presence about them. Tracy was also getting some findings on Neil’s stuff, and Todd was claiming Emma’s items are a waste of time, with Tracy giving a backstory on Neil. It then led Ben going to Todd for the event and Diane ignoring Todd’s advice to keep Emma’s case off. The Slaughtered Ram saw the football event taking place, with Todd asking about Bens having Diane as a roommate, drunkenly wondering if it’s anything different. Diane herself meanwhile was working on Emma’s case, soon finding a box of Joe Cooper stacked away. We then saw Ben seeing Isobel and asking her about rat like figures, with Isobel talking about them being “Boarder Rats” linking to deaths in quarries and warning him to be careful. After a woman was going hiking to find a broken phone, Paul was then giving another brief to reveal the phone was Neil’s, noticing Ben’s hangover and Ben himself reporting to Diane about “the boarder Rat” and being okay with Diane finding Joe Coopers stuff, declining her offer to help. He then managed to succeed in finding stuff on Derek, with a clue proving that he actually knew Neil, prompting him to visit him again. It got Ben visiting the church to find the Runshaws and asking Derek about St Modens and his relationship with Neil, using a quote his dad gave when Derek didn’t let him look at the bible. Diane at the station showed Todd a letter from Firth Water, revealing he was selling to that company, reporting it to Ben and then got the two of them to see Michael, who revealed Neil’s plan and his true thoughts on Firth water. When asking about the death threat, he mentioned about Lucas Oxley, with Ben revealing how his dad arrested Lucas’ son Rowan, hence why Lucas gave him a funny luck and mentioned the backstory. Whilst Diane was agreeing with Michael and Ben recapping things, Diane soon got a call about Emma and her records, talking about how she was in and out of hospital. The two were then visiting the Runshaws again, with only Sarah present and talked about Sarah’s dyspraxia and was convinced Neil’s alibi was made up. At the station, a package for Diane came with the man bumping into Todd possibly being Dave. After Ben and Diane were weighing up the options, she found the package, with Ben showing concern after it clearly stressed her out, but Diane was wanting to ignore it. That was interrupted when Ben got a call from Dr Taylor to reveal he was hit with black walnut, leading back to Lucas, who was scaring Derek and having heads of rats his staff. Tracy was then taking about her findings and revealed someone else had Lucas’ phone, followed by Diane explaining her findings, with a quote from Joe eventually led to Ben giving in and finding stuff in Derek. Ben and Diane were soon confronting Derek of their findings, and soon revealed his involvement and found out he was in a relationship with Neil and the Runshaws true nature. Ben and Diane were then once again summing up their reasons why he would killed Neil, with Derek making a discovery. It then got Dr Taylor examining the body and being unable to find out if it’s male or female, with the Runshaws thinking it’s Emma and Diane wondering why Derek covered the body. Ben and Diane were interviewing Derek, who was convinced it was a good thing but soon got interrupted by a phone call. But Ben was sensing that the body in the garden was Emma, with Howard maybe knowing about it and Ben mentioning his side, and soon got a notification on Neil’s car. In it they managed to find a lot of antiques, with Todd recognising one of them. It then got Paul wondering why Lucas is part of the case, with Ben and Diane giving what they discovered so far and wondering if the Runshaws had a darker side and mentioned Derek and still looking at who has Dereks phone. Todd was then quick in revealing one of the antiques was stolen, showing Michael it who refused to believe it was Neil. After looking at the threats, the three of them were then seeing The Boarder Rats, and Michael came to the rescue when Ben and Diane found themselves in the middle, but was clearly distressed by it all. The two headed to the Slaughtered Ram to check about his mental state, then leading to Ben asking Diane what is really going on. It was there when Diane went into revealing who Dave was, and his past. That soon got interrupted by a call from Paul to let them know about the body who was Lily Oxley, Lucas’ daughter in law and having a similar weapon used in Neil’s murder. It then got the  two seeing Lucas again who immediately recognised Ben as Joes son, and soon revealed of Lily, talking about animosity and revealing Derek was a Boarder Rat. The Fatted Calf then saw Lucas make another chant, shortly followed by Ben and Diane coming to Emma’s remembrance, asking Derek about Lucas needing an alibi. It then led to Derek going to the station to reveal he wasn’t at the pub, wanting to be a Boarder Rat to be closer to Neil. He was then talking about the night Neil died and how his costume and staff were stolen. This new information got Ben and Diane going back to the church to expose his lie, soon bringing in Howard and making comments on Joe. Diane came to a conclusion and Ben was convinced that Howard is scared of Lucas. But their main task was to find the staff. We then saw Diane revealing to Sarah it was Lily Oxley body that was dug up, and soon revealed what Lucas said and Sarah mentioning how some lessons take longer. And the mission to find what they were looking for was a success, as Ben was going back to Lucas’ workshop, searching the rubbish tip to find the staff, which he showed Todd and Paul the bible and the staff. It was soon interrupted by Tracy, who revealed the phone that was ringing in the evidence cabinet and Ben broke the rules to find out the caller, going to The Blue Cafe. I can only imagine the shock they had when two finding out it was through Emma Runshaw, telling her about Howard and Sarah’s true colours when mentioning childbirth and how Neil told her to hide out for her own stake, and that she accidentally picked up Neil’s phone. Afterwards. Diane came to a realisation when mentioning Hope Valley, getting them back to Michael’s house, soon giving chase to him. It then led tonMichael getting interviewed and grilled him on his interaction with Neil and revealing Emma Runshaws involvement, with a possible theory that led him to Neil’s death and his involvement in the Boarder Rays, which he was right. Ben then went to see Lucas again, arresting him for Lilys murder, followed by Diane seeing Sarah and Howard, making it clear that Emma won’t be coming back as Neil was showing some kindness after realising the parents true colours. It looked as though it was a job well done, as Ben and Diane having some well deserved beers, reporting what she told them back to Ben on the case, and was encouraging her to get Dave reported, not listening to any cases on Joe due to giving up, with Diane secretly looking into it. But Diane may have other things on her mind, as Isobel was giving a reading Dave, making it clear he’ll be sticking around…

The final episode that was Episode 4 started with collecting litter in The Nine Virgins whilst a woman makes him a tea, clearly in distress. The man then found something whilst someone was covered in blood and a woman was having a nightmare, with the man calling the police about the dead woman, claiming she was “dancing”. We also saw Diane looking at Joe Cooper cases, soon hiding it from Ben when they get another case. Ad the crime scene, Ben was explaining on how each ribbon resembles a wish, with Diane opening up about Dave. That had to be put to bed for now though, as the two were going to the crime scene with Todd warning off hikers, and the young girl revealed to be someone called Jenny Westlake, and the name being a familiar face to Ben. Dr Taylor came to notice strangulation from her, and Todd noticing the pose being deliberate. This then saw Todd, Ben and Diane spotting a model, with ranger Ravi Patel (the man who found her) being questioned of his whereabouts, convinced he was just collecting litter, and stated he saw Jenny every Sunday and the stones bringing different wishes. Ravi then went onto revealing that Warren Leach owns the land and talking about the access agreement. We then saw Todd insisting to take the lead when visiting the Leach’s home, clearly a working farm. Whilst examining the place, Ben and Diane noticed the woman earlier called Yvonne, finding Warren and making it clear he doesn’t want them here, with Todd stepping in. The two were then discussing if Yvonne wouldn’t say anything, with Todd confirming not to speak to him again. At the station, Paul was giving a briefing on Jenny Westlake and the action being done, with Ben and Diane confirming their findings on Ravi. Paul was then showing Martin Sargill, which Ben recognised as someone who wrote for the local paper was  and after making a joke about it, Diane going through the process and how the killing took place, soon finding a picture of another woman with an assault. Diane then came showing Todd a picture of the woman in the form of Maggie Crew, possibly linking the two together. Ben was then looking at the statement with Diane placing the two victims near the locations, seeing them go to Oak Ridge. When visiting Maggie, she refusing to talk due to certain memories, and not wanting to remember. It then got the two revealing of Jenny’s attack, soon recognising her as Jenny Scargill as she was her divorce lawyer. It then got Ben and Diane seeing Todd talking to a stranger, followed by Tracy failing to call Martin and got revealed a crime he got done for, being fit for interview. We then saw Martin getting interviewed, bad mouthing Maggie and finding out about Jenny’s death, with the two noticing the injuries, in which Martin said it was linking to a cat he was trying to help. Ben was then reporting it back to Paul and revealed Martin was a gambler, with Diane telling him to go back to The Nine Virgins. It was there when they saw Ravi losing control and being arrested. It then led to Ravi getting interviewed by Ben and Todd, showing the pictures of Jenny and Ravi explaining why he was in the circle and “making her dance”. It then got Todd and Ben going over what Ravi said to Paul and Diane with different stories, interrupted by Paul as it was past time with Todd still giving his theories, prompting Paul to give them a warrant, with Ben and Diane wondering if it’s Martin. At home, Ben walked in on the case of Joe Cooper, wanting to help as a result of him being kind, reluctantly letting her keep going and soon suggesting talking to Yvonne about Martin. We also saw Maggie having another nightmare whilst Ben and Diane see Yvonne, asking about Jenny Westlake and Martin Scargill, but denied it. To help get a look around the farm, it then got Diane claiming to have a plan in the form of getting a cup of tea, whilst Ben examines the scorch part of the farm. During this, Diane noticed the flowers which were the ones she left at The Nine Virgins, and revealed her connection to joe Cooper after finding similar ones at the remembrance. It was there when she was wanting to help Yvonne, who claims no where is safe until he’s dead. Ben was then seen searching for machinery, only to be confronted by Warren with a gun, but Diane came with a subtle way to rescue him. The two were then going to Ravi’s house where the living conditions were not great, finding something similar to the crime scene, with Diane asking if Todd was right. She also managed to find a bag and linking it to Jenny’s injuries, leading to Ravi getting questioned about the doll, who claimed to be from his mother and how the Nine Virgins helped her live longer when she was ill. Ravi then went on stating that he wasn’t with Jenny in the night, getting a local takeaway to prove it, and a picture and the bag got Ravi talking about “the fiddler” stone and telling them to focus on that. Ben and Diane reported to Paul about the interview and “The Fiddler”, with Tracy telling Ben about how Isobel May help. Ben then went onto asking his mine if it’s genuine or if it’s from the cards, but she then went onto revealing that Jenny was a client, also revealing the killer was three things disguised as a good person, linking it to Martin. Ben and Diane were spotting Martin at the gamblers, clearly not looking good and revealing he’s the beneficiary of the will, soon deciding to get a takeaway. Back at the station, Paul revealed the straps don’t match, but him being sectioned off left Todd convinced Ravi is still the killer, with Diane disagreeing. It then led Ben and Diane still working it out, with Tracy getting the two to receive a doorbell footage seeing a man called Russel crew, maggies son. We then saw Maggie chatting about it, revealing they’re estranged and revealed the connection between him and Jenny, who turned to drugs to help with university which Ben remembered and revealed he had a dark side despite sending baby powder. Ben soon asked Martin if Russell attacked him, and at the station, Diane saw Dave in the station which may have been a vision. She was then giving a briefing on Russell, with Todd being convinced they’re no motives. Ben then suggested a trip to the Nine Virgins with Maggie to help her memory,  wondering what happened after Ben spotted something. This got Dr Taylor coming to the crime scene, resulting to forensics facial reconstruction whilst Ben found something. After a long day, he was having dinner at Isobel’s, who was checking in on him and him asking her about someone having a grudge in Warren Leach and going to school with Yvonne, only wanting the recent moments, where she talked about changing tags. And Diane had her worst nightmare when she bumped into Dave, who wanted her to come back and revealed she’s leaving his wife and the kids, but Diane made it clear there’s nothing. This got Ben noticing it, and Diane making out it’s linking to lack of sleep, but secretly got Dave’s details, which was then followed by talking about an article linking to Warren, written by Martin and his the burnt body links to him and that Jenny was the photographer, getting Diane to show Paul video footage linking to the camera and Todd taking over. In the meantime, we saw Ben confronting Dave who’s also a police officer, and making it clear about Diane not wanting him back. But Diane was coming home to find out about him and Dave, infuriating her as she claimed it’ll make things worse. But they had to put their disagreement to the side for now, as Diane was doing some research, only to find the same person who was to Todd. Ben was then interviewing Martin again, and Todd showing Jenny’s bag, claiming he was set up. Afterwards, Diane was showing the picture to Todd, who claims he was a friend on Jenny, getting her suspicious when asking about the burnt body. Maggie was then seen going for a run to find a dog in a car and someone assuming my to burn it, when really it’s linking to petrol. The two meeting maggie, where what she saw brought back a memory of protecting Russell from dogs, soon realising he was the burnt body. This got Ben and Diane reporting their findings, linking to how it all started with a missing car, why Jenny came every Sunday and how Warren maybe the one who killed Jenny, framing Martin in the process and Paul giving a go ahead of the warrant. It then got Todd, Ben and Diane searching Warren’s farm, with some horrific moments, and Yvonne shooting him just saved their life. The three were then going to the dog fighting ring and examining the kit, thinking that someone else helped him with the technical side and Todd assuming it’s someone Russian, therefore there was nothing they can do. Todd and Ben continued searching, with Ben finding an SD card, and Todd taking it away from him, followed by a chat with Yvonne, finally wanting to talk but just to Ben. This was because she revealed that Warren killed Joe, showing him his coat and Diane getting suspicious. It then left Ben thinking all sorts, regretting not listening to Isobel. It also left Diane surprised to find Todd unfazed, making out reading hells him escape, but the subject of the SD card got him claiming there was nothing. Soon afterwards, Tracy, Todd and Paul were at The Slaughtered Ram, where she getting a text from Diane about the RSPCA. Ben and Isobel were reflecting on joe, getting closure but not justice, claiming the alcohol won’t help. At the station, Diane was inviting tom (who Todd was taking to), who talked about Jenny and the RSPCA where it started with the missing cats, and revealed that Todd was their point of contact, realising the SD card wasn’t put in for evidence and shocked to find Todd and his dark side. Ben was then coming to the slaughtered Ram to win his bet and got an update on Diane, with Todd claiming to go to the toilet, when really it’s to chat to Diane after ben got a text. Diane revealed she knew what was on the SD card and worked out his involvement in the Jenny Westlake case and worked out he was linked to Warren killing Joe. Todd then revealed Joes affair with Yvonne, and an arrest attempt got Ben following Diane. It then led to a fight with Todd at the Nine Virgins, with Ben saving Diane’s life and arresting him. We then saw Todd getting interviewed by Paul, showing pictures of the crime scene and grilling him about Joe Cooper,  getting taken away as a result. Paul had to stop Ben from confronting him, knowing it won’t help anything. We then saw Diane comforting him, reflecting on what’s happened and reminded him not to blame himself. It was then she decided not to reveal the whole truth for his own well-being and liking what his mum said. The episode ended with Ben and Diane having a drink to end the day. She also mentioned that what he said to Dave may have done the trick, and offered to go with her to leave flowers for Jenny, with Dave watching them the whole time. 

Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials:

This week I watched the final episode of the show based on the famous mystery author called “The Fingers Points”. At the beginning, as saw the past showing Thomas Brent’s funeral, with Bundle being very young and her noticing a clock. We then moved back to where we left off from, with Jimmy severely injured, claiming it was a masked man and Battle tending to him. Everyone also noticed that Dr Maptip nowhere to be seen, with Bundle following Battle to find him knocked out with the same draft that killed Gerry, but Battle wasn’t listening to her, and the two soon discovered that his belongings were stolen. This resulted in Battle closing the premises, which didn’t go for well with George, and they also had another surprise when bringing in Loraine. We then saw Jimmy describing the man who attacked him, with Bundle asking about Oswald, only for him to come like nothing has happened. Bundle was then asking Oswald why he came into the garden, and Battle ordered everyone to stay indoors. But that didn’t stop Bundle, as she was soon spying on, with George coming in who asked for her hand in marriage, resulting in her escaping and finding Battle, telling him about it. It was clear that Bundle wanting to get involved, and she noticed one set of footprints, when initially thinking there were 2 along with the dent in the grace and making up a thesis. This got Battle praising Bundle, and giving her findings despite not revealing much on Oswald. It then got Loraine stating that she was wanting to find an earring from Gerry, and Cyril bless him felt betrayed by the whole thing. This then got Jimmy wondering if it’s someone in the room. During the round up, Jimmy was trying on a glove Bundle noticed, with teeth marks, which was then followed Battle giving more evidence on the bullet, getting to Oswald about if it was him, making the same dent but further along the field. George was then giving his own theory, and it then led to Battle finding out that Loraine had escaped when no one noticed her disappearance. This chase led to Bundle, Billy and Jimmy finding her and George moving Battles car far because if “security reasons), with Bundle talking about George’s proposal. The three of them were then getting on a train, with Billy suggesting they split up with him having evidence out of protection, sparking Jimmy to give a theory to Bundle. The two managed to find Loraine, claiming she got the formula it for Gerry, with Bundle suggesting the poison was used to kill him, followed by her making a thread with a ticket which revealed the next stop. In a surprising then if events, Jimmy got a gun out, with Bundle finding out it was all set up, shooting Billy and Bundle working out he shot Ronny. Billy thankfully was alive thanks to Cyril’s protection, and Bundle devised a plan to stop Jimmy and Loraine and ordered him to stop the train. Bundle eventually found Jimmy, with a showdown, eventually revealing that he shot Ronny, Loraine killed Gerry and that he put the clocks on the mantelpiece as a distraction. This then got Bundle working out it was all for money where Jimmy revealed that the handover isn’t at the next stop, but they were actually meeting them on the train. It then got Bundle stopping the train for Billy to catch Loraine, locking her in the toilet whilst Bundle finds the person they were supposed to meet, which was none other than Lady Caterham, who questions her on why she took the train, with her claiming she took her advice to get out more. Bundle then worked out it was her, but she was still adamant on Loraine killing Gerry after she wanted to take action, with Lady Caterham thinking the country betrayed her by losing everyone she loved apart from Bundle. Lady Caterham was then convinced that the formula would provide a solution hence why she took it, thinking that she’s not a good parent, realising that Bundle overestimated her. Bundle then threatened to shoot her (but in a certain place to stop her in her tracks), but thankfully Battle found them them and arresting her, Jimmy and Loraine. At the home, Bundle was reflecting back at the house at the beginning, with Billy trying to ring her and Cyril being given an honour. We then saw Alfred coming back to find Bundle, making her go to the Seven Dials club, coming face to face with the clock people, with number 7 revealing to be none other than Superintendent Battle himself. He then went onto explaining that the group involves keeping people safe, hence why he was there at Wyvern and offered her to join them after assessing her. Battle then went into revealing how her father was part of The Seven Dials, recapping his mission from The Seven Dials, and how Lady Caterham knew about it, complimenting her commitment. Despite Battle explaining the dangers, asks her one more time if she wanted to join, soon accepting the offer.  

We Might Regret This:

This week I watched Episode 4 aka the final episode of the second series of the show starring Kyla Harris. This saw The Olivia’s talking about venues and Hen Do, with a goals to get 1 million followers. Freya was then encouraging Abe to go full on when coming to social media, also as a way to convince him to sell the house, but was frustrated when he only was getting jane to ask about renovations. It then led to Bean showing her dress with Ty asking questions linking to the wheelchair, with Freya being unsure. Bean then went onto say that hating the dress means it’s working and also showing a unique bridal to go with it. Meanwhile, Jo helping another client whilst applying to a writing programme, followed by arriving at the house and convincing Levi she’s there for Jo with Hen do stuff. She also went into revealing that she’s moving to New York, claiming there’s nothing much in the UK, with Levi reminding her she’s abandoning Freya again. Soon enough, The Olivia’s and Freya and co went to the hen do, with a lot of people, who revealed to be clients of their company. During this, Jane was coming round and reminding Abe that the house is hers as well as his, also revealing her books are selling fast (which was why she came to find somewhere to store them) and Abe was trying wines whilst making a joke on a new book. And whilst The Olivia’s went live with Ty playing Mr and Mrs (getting most of the questions wrong), Jane was asking Abe if he read the book, knowing there’s a positive but in the end, with Levi questioning what’s going on. He soon ditched his “activity”, listening to Jane’s advice, and remembering their wedding dance, being happy with the current situation. It then got Levi asking if they were okay with Sam’s death after admitting it broke them apart, but Jane was giving some advice that really resonated with Levi. Back at the hen do, Jo, sending her unease, was reminding Freya she didn’t need to ask an intimate question, but answered and revealed it was linking to her accident which was quite heartbreaking. It was quite entertaining to see Ty bring flustered by the stripper (and good on casting a disabled actor to show that anyone can be anything they want to be), but it soon came to a halt Freya wanting to stop and needed a break, calling everything “Lame” on livestream. During the midst of all of this, Jo found Levi, wanting to declare her feelings but was interrupted by Freya. Back at the house, whilst tasting wines, Abe admitted to wanting to sell the house, and apologised for holding on, maybe due to memories of Sam and other things. Back at the cottage, Freya revealed she was scared of being alone and was wanting to talk to Abe. It then got Freya finding the Olivia’s, who revealed of the consequences of her speech in livestream, whilst Jo revealed her feelings for Levi and vice versa in their own unique way, and accepted his offer to stay. But there was heartbreak on the way when Abe was coming over, leading Freya being honest of their relationship and how everything was linked to being a wheelchair user, with Abe feeling the same, and revealed about him selling the house. It then left Freya wanting a break from their relationship, which Abe understood. It’s moments like this where Jo is a good friend after finding Freya heartbroken, and whatever they do next, she’ll never leave her side (even if they did make a joke about it). I also loved the ending on how everyone got Freya to swim, linking back to the first episode, and I do hope this goes on for a third series where we get to see Freya exploring the single life. 

Personal:

Exercise:

This week was challenging exercise wise. Despite doing my usual gym and yoga workout, the bike at home got tricky. I managed to get to 10k in 14 minutes on the Monday, but due to a technical fault was unable to get to the full 15k. But Saturday I managed to get to 15k, even if it did mean going over ever so slightly, where I got to 10k in 13mins 47secs. So a rollercoaster when it came to exercise, but I pushed through and got there in the end, which I guess is what matters at the end of the day. 

Cooking:

This week I cooked something simple which was pork loin steaks. Because it was only me and my sister, I know I wanted to do something simple, and this was one of those dishes. Overall a brilliant, simple and tasty meal, and if you like yours well done, like myself, then it’s definitely a recommended meal if you haven’t got any inspiration therefore want to go back to basics! 

Autism Acceptance Week 5k Walk:

This week was the week of my 5k walk for the National Autistic Society. I did it in two parts, where for the first half I did it with my dog, and for the second part I did it by myself. Despite me and my dog getting abit wet, it was a walk well spent, stopping at my old school and taking in the fresh air. A perfect way to spend Easter Sunday.

Easter:

This Easter despite not working at my typical acting job, I still had a good one. On the Friday when I finished my “proper job”, I went out for tea with my grandparents. I was surprised that it wasn’t as busy as I thought it was, but I had a feeling that if we’d had come during the lunchtime period or later on that evening, it would’ve been a very different story. But I had a good one, catching up with my grandparents and having a delicious Hunters Chicken with garlic bread! 

Easter Sunday was spent with me and my dog. There was a part of me that wanted to ask if any of my friends wanted to meet up, and during my Autism Acceptance Week walk, I did spot a familiar face. But my neurodivergent brain was telling me otherwise, as I needed to save my social battery as much as I could. So instead I had some of my delicious Easter Eggs as seen below, along with catching up on Coronation Street (which you can view in “Coronation Street”) and Saturday Night Live UK (which you can skip to “Saturday Night Live UK”). 

Surveys: 

This week I did a few surveys. I managed to keep up to date with all of them, and for one of them, I’m nearing the target to get some extra cash. If I keep this going for the next two weeks, I think I may see some money coming my way. 

Darts:

This weeks practice were once again two very different games. I gave up on the first practice due to losing my patience, and with the second practice, I managed to finish on double 5 despite 5 missed match darts. My scoring I’ll admit has been terrible, so I’m just glad I managed to get at least these two shots as seen below. And with me going back to I person classes next week, I definitely need to look at my darting schedule of when to practice again! 

Premier league of Darts:

This week the tournament came to Manchester, where there was drama all around. This included a match between Luke Littler and Gian Van Veen, and a gesture Luke made had a controversial take on it. But I’m just glad Gian was able to keep his cool and also have nothing but good things to say, knowing it was all part of the game. But he did well to make it to the final of that night, knowing he spent the past few weeks poorly. The night belonged to Gerwen Price in the end, and to be fair he did play really well. And last weeks night in Berlin was a real confident boost for Josh Rock, as he won another match against Johnny Clayton. I don’t know what his chances of making playoffs are, but now he’s started to win matches, hopefully he’ll feel more settled throughout the rest of the league. 

Gladiators:

The final of the iconic gameshow was definitely one to remember. The finalists were Naomi and Emily, (with Naomi being the oldest female finalists, and Emily being the youngest with it being her birthday on the day of filming), and Tyler and Josh. “Unleash” saw both Naomi and Emily get maximum points, whilst Tyler narrowly missed out, having the head start of being 2 seconds, and we even saw Bradley Walsh have a go at it. “Destruction” saw a close call between Naomi and Cyclone (who for once had good things to say), and for the first time since “Destruction" was announced as a new game, both Josh and Tyler managed to beat Giant, with the main man himself having nothing but good things to say. “Gauntlet” saw both male and female contenders get maximum points despite reducing the time limit to 15 seconds. You know when you did a good job, when you get a handshake from Viper. “The Edge” saw Legend make an appearance in the commentary box, whilst for the gamble contenders, Sabre praised Naomi for being an inspiration (which got me emotional), whilst Emily got the full points against Fury. Apollo and Steel managed to take down both Josh and Tyler, but had nothing but good things to say about them, and of course it wouldn’t be a final without the iconic “Duel”. For the female contenders, Naomi may have messed up, but Emily managed to beat Sabre for the first time. Tyler was off within three seconds by Hammer (and “Hammer Time” was a perfect way to end the series), and Josh made a brilliant attempt against Nitro. But “The Eliminator” was of course another iconic moment, and let’s just say that it was a close call. But in the end, it was Emily who won for the female contenders, and Josh for the male. But what I liked about that was the sportsmanship between the finalists, knowing that whoever won, getting to the final itself is an achievement. All I can say is well done to Emily and Josh for winning, but also well done to Naomi and Tyler. You should should all be very proud of yourselves! 

Britain’s Got Talent:

This week I watched another instalment of the iconic talent show. The Welsch Masters Tram kicked the show off with a bang, and the Maverick Magicians got Simone Cowell on a Shopping spree. Alamgir Azad wrote a very intriguing song, and Kristen Herrera smashed a Whitney classic, and I don’t know how that not got the golden buzzer. Musician Asco put on a modern spin on Mozart, and Leroy Patterson from the USA did some crazy “stunts”, and I’m not sure what the talent was in that to be honest. Musician Vairis Nartiss definitely had some interesting “instruments” to play, and Braunstone Community Primary School bought the race to BGT. For this act in particular I do get why some people think it’s not worthy of a golden buzzer act, but when the headteacher Mr Ting mentioned why they do what they do, it’s moments like this where music and having a dance will not only end the week on a high, but it’s also a good form of self care! And Nic Vani ended the show on a high, with a classic from The Lion King. For many reasons this show had me in tears, but I didn’t think I would get so welled up, so I guess that’s when you know it’s good. After mentioning his past career, he’s got to be in the live shows, and I’m still mind boggled how he didn’t get the golden buzzer.  

Saturday Night Live UK:

This week I watched another episode of the show based on the US hit, with Roz Ahmed as the host and Kasabian being the music star. The episode started with another political Kier Starmer speech parody, and a song on why Gen-Z’s are on their phones at certain specific moments was a catchy one. The traitors parody known as “the biggest crab man” was also funny, and a really liked the Operations kid game sketch, as the game itself can be really frustrating. There was also a radio talk show sketch, and I definitely think the wrap of a sensitive subject should be a thing, as not only are you learning a lot, but like Cat and Robbie in Victorious, it’s also a way to deliver bad news in a more positive way. The Weekend Update I think was the funniest one yet, as both Anya and Paddy I feel we’re on the verge of corpsing, particularly when “The Dormouse” came on. The night ended with a Gothic horror sketch talking about the “b*****d seagull”, and I didn’t expect the Easter bunny at an anti-natal class. But the show as always was brilliant, and I can’t wait to watch next weeks show! 

Gogglebox:

This week the telly critics got up to more adventures. Giles was making a joke about Ants to Mary when they try to catch them, and Jenny was talking about petrol to Lee. Pete was getting emotional with Sophie about his kids starting nursery, and Ellie was talking to Izzi about what Nat said on wanting another baby. Alison and George were looking at Helena’s daughter Martha, thinking she resembles Helena’s partner Dan, and Sara and Lara had a family member bringing Easter chickens. Finally, Sue and Steve were talking about how their printing went to the wrong house, and Giles revealed that he had all of the cheese scones to Mary, which was quite funny and relatable. They also watched some but things on the TV this week. “The Apprentice” saw the teams make a lifestyle brand product for pets, with one leaving voice notes was a unique idea with the product being more sensitive to sounds, and “Secrets of The Bees” saw Asian Bees coming face to face with ‘Murder Hornets”, and working as a team to defend their colony. “Race Across The World” saw two young people Kush and Jo finding Fiscaordo, with one of them suggesting to help them, but a stranger gave them helped, leaving it on a cliffhanger, and “Married at First Sight Australia” witnessed extrovert Juliette and Model Joel, with his speech surprisingly liking by Juliette, but the wedding dinner speech was cringing the goggleboxers and me finding it entertaining. “Just One Thing” saw Roman Kemp meeting Alistair improve his fitness regime, which was to sit down slowly with everyone else having a go, and “BBC News” saw a Yorkshire wine mystery. Finally, “Last One Laughing” saw the final where the two of the comedians have to feed each other, making me and goggleboxers laugh, which led to a decider, and “Celebrity Ex On The Beach” saw John from Jedward taking a fancy to Helen Flanagan. 

Challenges I Faced & How I Overcame Them?

I don’t think I had any major challenges this week, but I think one thing that I struggled with most was the business that was the Easter period. However, I overcame this by making sure I took regular breaks (even if it was for 5 minutes) and stuck to the things that helped me regulate myself like my yoga. 

What have I learnt this week? Who you are is just okay. And with Autism Acceptance Week continuing next week, I hope I can show my story into making the world a more autistic friendly place :)

See you soon for another blog. Until next time…

This is The Autistic Actress signing off :)
