It’s about time Delta got another spot on a Now especially since her only appearance so far was that dreary Brian McFadden collab.

Start Without You to me always sounded like the Playdays theme songs as interpreted by Alexandra.

I don’t like Starmer at all but this feels like an absolute circus. I can’t see Labour winning the next GE even with a new leader at this rate and all this messing around. I found myself agreeing with Kemi Badenoch yesterday. That is where we are with this.

Pink for the win please! One of her very best from her very best album. I do enjoy the Will song too though.

Jason Derulo’s success has always mystified me. Whilst he’s not terrible, he also doesn’t really stand out as an exceptional talent either.

No mention of OMG ripping off a classic?

Ignoring all the drama over the border….we have a new First Minister! Llongyfarchiadau Rhun ap Iorwerth! Prif Weinidog ardderchog!

I probably won’t have time to rewatch them-what happened with Denise in that episode? I only recently watched most of 2013 after taking a break from the show for most of that year.

Actually thrilled the Bea story is actually going somewhere now. It’s kind of clear that it was planned out be the execution has been quite disjointed to say the least.

Embrace going before the Saturdays will certainly be a choice…

I’m planning on voting Pink to win in the next round hopefully. It’s one of my very favourites of hers.

Obviously Matt had better stuff to come. He really is much better than the likes of Ed Sheeran. A shame he could never shake the X Factor tag and yet wasn’t loved by X Factor fans.

That was such a wild era for the show. They finally decided to make Denise the leading lady but being the leading lady back then was, well, not exactly a golden opportunity. Diane Parrish did her very best as always but the stories were ludicrous. It was hard to watch her journey to get one simple GCSE whilst younger characters were sitting many, many more. And I always hate plots where characters are too proud to accept help-it’s so cliche. Denise was being put in ridiculous situations just so that she could eat out of a bin. Her sister had lots of money and Patrick was around so it wasn’t like she had no one.

I think the Labour members will be thankful to be given a chance to help form a government. Mathematically, the only other option for Plaid is the Tories but you’d hope they’d never go down that route.

I know Denise wasn’t in the flashforward, but she was pretty much mentioned alive wasn’t she? I’m sure Jack referenced her leaving the house and Libby was looking for her when she saw her phone ringing wasn’t she? Does suggest that Libby might not be actually back for a wedding and more to support her mum. But wouldn’t seeing Denise with cancer in the flashforward actually have been a good idea? I’m not sure what the point of an episode like that was if they’re afraid of spoiler details like that.

Thankfully Plaid has ended up as the largest party in the Senedd though still short of a majority. It’s ghastly how well Reform have done though even if they wouldn’t be able to form a government. Reform actually got the most votes in my constituency though because of PR they only have two seats here and so do Plaid. Labour and Tories also got a seat each here.

It does feel like we’ve had cancer overload of late. But it’s odd to start a new story off when they’ve just spent 6 months almost completely ignoring Sam’s cancer.

Genuinely concerned. I really want Plaid to get in with Rhun as First Minister which I think will happen even if with some form of coalition with either Labour or the Greens but if Reform technically get more seats, we’ll never hear the end of it and how they were the ‘real’ winners. Everyone I’ve spoken to wants something different. In school, most seem eager to vote Plaid, at the gym, most seem to be reformers. The Reform lot seem quite keen to talk everyone round to their way of thinking. Some people have stated their reasons and said ‘but I don’t agree with the views on Muslims’ but for me it doesn’t matter if you agree or disagree. You know what the party stands for and you’re still voting for them. Thats not good. Reform are essentially an English Nationalist Party and it feels ludicrous that they can campaign in Wales. I fear our culture, language and even history will be under threat if Reform get in as they don’t respect any of it. They only want to win in Wales to make a point that they’re a serious party For the next general election. Wales will be collateral damage if they get a majority. It’s way too close for my liking.

That cruise harming every story idea they have for Linda.

Yes I’m glad the story didn’t just disappear. In fact, I think the show is working quite well now. Jasmine has settled, Ravi’s story is moving on. What needs work for me now is: 1) End the Vicki/Zack story. It’s tedious, Vicki just shouldn’t be marrying Ross and shouldn’t feel trapped given she would have clear reasons to leave, and Zack is just a nuisance character. Put Barney back with his mum too. 2) please make Penny’s baby Vinny’s. Such an unnecessary plot. 3) sort Zoe out. Jasmine has now settled but it’s made Zoe into a complete spare part. You’d think she’d have a decent amount of screen time now she’s found her children but she hasn’t.

Still a stella group. Not really bothered about the amount of comedians but I’m surprised sports people are virtually non existent-particularly since those players were pretty memorable last time. Still no Bob Mortimer.

It’s heading in the right direction certainly. Their lyrics are getting better once again though the chorus is still a bit weak (weak chorus was the biggest issue for most of the songs on their last album)

I’m quite glad Poker Face is Gaga’s lowest song here. It’s good but it doesn’t sound as good anymore. I used to the Just Dance was average and Poker Fave was a massive step up but over the years my opinions on those songs have flipped completely!

Hopefully, if they’ve been monitoring feedback, they’ll realise Julie has proved popular and try and convince Karen Henthorn to stick around. They have showed signs of responding to feedback. As has been mentioned, Jasmine is now showing signs of actual character rather than just being a plot driven mess. Now her ridiculous storyline is done, she’s mixing well on screen. That was a beautiful episode to top off a beautiful week. In recent times this has meant that the next week has been appalling but hopefully it’ll keep up the standard.
