3d empress?
11a hear (as in hear at a trial)

Hi Sudokolover

EMPRESS is only 7 letters and we need 8 :)

I did think HEAR for trial but it looks like it should be half of an 8 lettered word for CHEER ... something like HEARTENS

Thanks so far

I thought of empress but it is only 7 letters

oh yes sorry - need to put my specs on!

Hear seems right for 11a
Cheer = Hear Hear!

Thanks mattrom - I like that explanation for HEAR

3D - EUPHEMIA fits as a woman's name but can't see any connection with pumping iron.

23a emerges

2d ? a line?
