Huge EastEnders twist as another major couple get engaged

This article contains spoilers for tomorrow's episode of EastEnders, which airs Friday at 7.30pm on BBC One or can be streamed now on iPlayer. Wedding bells are set to ring out across Albert Square once again, as a beloved couple decided to tie the knot. I am, of course, referring to Patrick and Yolande Trueman (Rudolph Walker and Angela Wynter), who recently won the British Soap Award for Best On-Screen Partnership. What a way to cap off the celebrations! Throughout this week's episodes of the soap, we've seen the couple struggle with intimacy in the wake of a horrific incident. Some of the serial's most harrowing scenes ever aired last year, when church-leader Pastor Clayton (Howard Saddler) sexually assaulted Yolande in a store room at the community centre. She bravely spoke up about her ordeal to friend Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe), and then found the courage to report his crime to the police. Unfortunately, due to a lack of evidence, there was little that they could do. However, soon after, a second survivor of his abuse came forward, with the CPS charging him with two counts of sexual assault. Their bravery was noted by a third woman, who also came forward, prompting Clayton to barge his way into Yolande's house in an attempt to get her to drop the charges. Later that night, the police arrived and she assumed he'd spread more vicious lies about her. They were actually there to reveal that Clayton had taken his own life. Since then, Yolande has tried to rebuild her life and reconnect with her Christian faith – something which she abandoned following the sexual assault. Earlier this week, Yolande went to run herself a bath and asked her life partner to give her a massage afterwards. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

However, after some words of wisdom from Denise Fox (Diane Parish), the pair reconciled.

Jake Gyllenhaal fans 'on edge of their seats' watching disaster movie

Viewers say this award-winning movie is just as terrifying to watch over 15 years on Movie fans are "gripped" by the disaster flick featuring A-list star Jake Gyllenhaal, as New York City crumbles under the devastating impacts of climate change. The Day After Tomorrow is a thrilling cinematic experience that merges the real-world issue of climate change with the suspense of an edge-of-your-seat thriller, captivating audiences. ‌ It's particularly the film's visual effects that set it apart from its peers in the disaster movie genre, earning it a BAFTA for Best Special Visual Effects. ‌ A glowing critique from Rotten Tomatoes reads: "The Day After Tomorrow plays with the idea of global warming and flips it to global cooling. The visuals and CGI are outstanding. "The whole tsunami sequence and then subsequent freezing scenes are just spectacular to watch even today. "The acting is a little shoddy, with decent performances from Dennis Quaid and Sela Ward. Otherwise, the film is really just a special effects extravaganza geared towards making a statement against global warming." Central to the plot is Jack Hall, portrayed by Dennis Quaid, an American paleoclimatologist who uncovers a colossal ice sheet breakaway that sets off a catastrophic climate shift. He faces a perilous trek back to New York City to reunite with his son as a cataclysmic storm thrusts the planet into a new ice age, reports the Express. Back in the metropolis, his son Sam and a group of pals are preparing to compete in an academic decathlon. But severe superstorms and torrential rains inundate Manhattan, leaving the city awash and residents wading through floodwaters with no means of transport. ‌ In response to the crisis, Hall is pushing for the president to evacuate people further south until the weather subsides, as they face freezing temperatures. As he battles to reach his son, the hurdles intensify and viewers are left biting their nails, questioning if survival is possible in these harsh conditions. A critique says: "Unique and gripping! I hadn't seen a film similar to this before, so I thought this was great to watch. Great acting and very good effects. Will watch this again and again." ‌ Although 'The Day After Tomorrow' has garnered acclaim for its stunning visual effects, opinions are divided over its plot. Scoring a modest 45% on Rotten Tomatoes, it faces scrutiny for acting and scriptwriting from some quarters. One viewer commented: "People who are looking for a great story and characters, this movie is not for you. But, if you like intense sequences that leave you on the edge of your seat, you will love this movie." Meanwhile, another reviewer noted: "Worth a watch during a snow day. There are several holes in the plot, but it's intense and entertaining!". Those intrigued by the prospect of witnessing the world's potential endgame can stream 'The Day After Tomorrow' now on Disney+.
