It's a Done Deal

ITV have now signed a 3 year deal for The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent. Also they have secured the rights to show The American version of The X Factor exclusively on ITV2 alongside America's Got Talent.









There was lots of speculation about what will happen to The X Factor after Simon Cowell announced plans to take it to America and BGT after Piers Morgan announced he was leaving BGT but now we have nothing to worry about.


Simon Cowell will remain on our screens till at least 2013. Britain's Got Talent will return in the Spring of 2011. The X Factor will return later than normal in the Autumn of 2011. Spinoff shows, Britain's Got More Talent and The Xtra Factor will also return to ITV2. US X Factor will also be shown on ITV2 as will America's Got Talent. 


Cowell said: 


"I am thrilled this deal has been concluded with ITV to enable our relationship to continue to develop. I am committed to making sure both shows get bigger and better every year. I have a lot to thank ITV for; they have been key in making The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent the UK's biggest television shows."


In 2009 both finals of the two shows reached over 19 millions viewers so I bet ITV are buzzing they've secured it for another 3 years, and I am too! 

The Beginning of Soap Watch

I'm a massive soap fan, so I thought I might make regular posts on upcoming storylines in the 5 major soaps, Coronation Street, Eastenders, Neighbours, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks. 

Departing character Steph (Carla Bonner) will get a shock when her son Charlie is snatched while out with his step sister Summer (Jordy Lucas). The storyline will mean a shock return for a not yet named character who wants to cause pain to both Steph and Libby (Kim Valentine). I for one am stumped over who it could be! Also Sam Clark who plays Ringo Brown has predicted Harold Bishop (Ian Smith) will return to the soap. 

Over in Eastenders, it's been announced the new year will be filled with tragedy as a newborn baby dies. The plot will involve either Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) or Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack). 

In Hollyoaks, an old villain is returning from the dead. Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) was last seen apparently dying in his club after it was set on fire by crazy Claire Devine (Gemma Bissix). Warren made his escape after seemingly dying when the roof collapsed. Now he's back and he want's his club back which is now run by Cheryl Brady (Bronagh Waugh).


In Corrie, obviously we have the upcoming tram crash for the 50th! But before then, Ashley Peacock (Steven Arnold) has an angina attack when wife Claire (Julia Haworth) pressures into moving away form the street. Also the aftermath of David (Jack P. Shepard) running over Graeme (Craig Gazey).

Drama, Drama, Drama is ahead for the Wylde's in Emmerdale as Nathan (Lyndon Ogbourne) is kidnapped just before his step brother Ryan's (James Sutton) trail for the murder of their dad, who was actually killed by Nathan's mother, Natasha. Also, all the Wylde's will be leaving the show by the end of the year.
