Popular Emmerdale stars unexpectedly reunite in new snap
Former Emmerdale stars Max Parker and Alexander Lincoln have unexpectedly reunited. The stars portrayed Luke Posner and Jamie Tate in the ITV soap, and have both gone on to appear in some huge shows following their departure. A few weeks ago, Max appeared in Doctor Who. He portrayed a character called Manny in the episode that introduced Varada Sethu as the Doctor's latest companion, Belinda Chandra. Alexander's credits include The Groomsmen, Netflix's Geek Girl, and the series Everything I Know About Love. It appears the stars have remained good friends away from soapland, as they recently shared a picture of themselves together on Instagram. Max can be seen smiling in the snap, while Alex is jokingly pulling a facial expression that looks as though he'd rather be elsewhere! 'Alex THRILLED to see me', Max wrote alongside. Max left his role as Luke in 2021. He decided to depart the village for a new life shortly after it was revealed he had been catfishing Ethan Anderson (Emile John). More Trending The character was mentioned at the start of this year, when Wendy (Susan Cookson) announced that she'd be leaving the village to stay with her son.

Best autobiographies and memoirs that everyone should read in 2025
The private lives of presidents and princes, romantic affairs, meditations on grief, awkward coming-of-age stories, or an inside look at Hollywood: the best autobiographies tell someone else's story but ring true to our own life experiences. Intimate and compelling, some memoirs introduce us to anonymous but fascinating people - think secret agents or former Mormons - while others reveal personal details about the world's most famous people, from Prince Harry and former US president Barack Obama to pop idol Cher or Friends star Matthew Perry. A captivating memoir can catapult its author to stardom – celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain found fame after the publication of Kitchen Confidential, which details his career in New York kitchens, and British journalist Dolly Alderton became a household name after capturing the millennial and Gen Z zeitgeist with her book Everything I Know About Love. Providing snapshots of moments in time, memoirs can transport you to an era, historical event or setting that might chime with your own life. American singer/songwriter and artist Patti Smith's cult novel Just Kids is an ode to New York in the Sixties and Seventies; Pippa Latour's The Last Secret Agent takes us to occupied France; while journalist Deborah Orr's Motherwell tells the story of the postwar working class in Scotland. Though they centre on the life of one person, memoirs can be all-encompassing. Most readers can learn something from another's life, relating to the highs and lows described on the page. How we tested A lifelong fan of memoirs, I've read plenty of titles over the years, but I've whittled down the vast library to my top autobiography titles. To make the cut, the books had to be compelling and personal, relatable and educational, and able to make you laugh or cry (sometimes both). It's also worth noting that nearly all the titles below can be listened to as audiobooks with the author narrating their own story. From the lives of celebrities to intimate essay collections and stories of hope, rebellion and love, immerse yourself in these memoirs. Why you can trust IndyBest reviews A senior shopping writer at The Independent, I also specialise in reviewing books. Custodian of IndyBest's round-up of the best new book releases, I have my finger on the pulse when it comes to debut authors and acclaimed writers. I know what makes a gripping, moving or important story, whether it's a romantic comedy or historical drama. I love books of every genre, but I'm particularly partial to memoirs and autobiographies, having read and listened to more than I can count over the years. Here, I bring you my recommendations for top titles to dive into. The best autobiographies and memoirs for 2025 are:

Netflix's Pride and Prejudice casts its Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy
The casting has been announced for a new six-part adaptation of Pride and Prejudice – and Jane Austen fans approve of the choices. The Netflix series, written by Everything I Know About Love author Dolly Alderton, will star Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennett and Jack Lowden as Mr Darcy. Meanwhile, Olivia Colman will play Lizzie's mother, Mrs Bennett. Corrin will also make their debut as an executive producer on the project alongside Alderton and director Euros Lyn, best known for his work on shows including Doctor Who and Heartstopper. 'Playing Elizabeth Bennet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,' Corrin, who uses they/them pronouns, said in a statement to Deadline. 'To be able to bring this iconic character to life, alongside Olivia and Jack, with Dolly's phenomenal scripts, is truly the greatest honour. I can't wait for a new generation to fall in love with this story all over again.' Alderton said: 'Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is the blueprint for romantic comedy – it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life. 'With Euros Lyn directing our stellar cast, I am so excited to reintroduce these hilarious and complicated characters to those who count Pride and Prejudice as their favourite book, and those who are yet to meet their Lizzie and Mr Darcy.' Fan responses to the new adaptation so far have been mixed, although many praised the 'impeccable' Corrin and noted that they have a strong background in period dramas, including Lady Chatterley's Lover, and the horror film Nosferatu, set in the 1800s. Corrin also starred opposite Colman in Netflix's The Crown as Princess Diana to Colman's Queen Elizabeth II. Colman, too has plenty of experience in period dramas, from her Oscar-winning turn in The Favourite to Miss Havisham in the BBC series Great Expectations. Scottish actor Lowden, meanwhile, won an Oliver Award for his performance as Oswald in Richard Eyre's 2013 adaptation of Ibsen's Ghosts, and also had a lead role in the BBC's 2016 adaptation of War & Peace. He received rave reviews for his portrayal of the poet Siegried Sassoon in the 2021 film Benediction. Austen' s 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice has been the subject of TV and film adaptations and spin-offs for almost a century, the first appearing on television in 1938. Arguably the two most popular are the 1995 BBC series starring Colin Firth as Mr Darcy and Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennett, and the 2005 film starring Keira Knightly and Matthew Macfadyen. Netflix adapted Austen's novel Persuasion in 2022, starring Dakota Johnson; the film received negative reviews. 'I don't trust Netflix with any adaptation but I have faith in Emma [Corrin] and Olivia [Colman] so we shall see,' one Austen fan wrote on X/Twitter. 'Jack Lowden in Benediction is sort of an all time great performance, so I'll hold off on passing judgement here,' another person said. 'Could have the range.' Others despaired over Netflix's involvement, with one sceptic commenting: 'Good cast but is yet another Pride & Prejudice adaptation really where we need to be putting our focus rn? NO.' 'Do we really need another Pride and Prejudice adaptation?' another remarked. One happy fan said the 1995 series was superior but said Colman was the 'perfect choice' to play Mrs Bennett. Alderton's Pride and Prejudice will go into production in the UK later this year.
