Inside Soap UK 20 - 2016

Oh, I do love a big, epic soap week where you know every episode is going to bring you several thrills and at least a couple of spills. So I’m very excited about Corrie this week. Not only is Carla Connor – the best cobbles character of the last two decades – making her explosive exit, but that body that’s been festering under Gail’s annexe is set to fester no more! Show bosses have kept a lot of the twists and turns of the week under wraps, so even we here at Inside Soap don’t know what’s going to happen. I’ll be glued to the sofa every night this week as the big drama unfolds! And Corrie isn’t the only show delivering the goods. EastEnders’ biggest secret may be about…

"IT’S NOT JUST THE INFIDELITY - IT’S THE LIES AND THE CASH CARLA GAVE TRACY" Bride Carla’s dreams of a happy ever after with Nick are shattered this week – as wicked Tracy goes all-out to wreck her wedding! It’s been a stressful time for Carla in the run-up to the big day, yet she really believes that she and Nick are finally going to get hitched. But after a shock development sees her nemesis Tracy back on the warpath, and determined to make Carla pay, will happiness slip through Carla’s fingers at the last moment? “Tracy is a ticking time bomb that may obliterate everything Carla has,” shares our Corrie insider. “For years, she’s waited for the chance to do the sort of damage that Carla can’t recover from.…

As Ben Price (Nick) bids goodbye to co-star Alison King (Carla), we caught up with him to find out how he’s coping with it all… Do you agree that Nick would have forgiven Carla if she’d just fessed up in the first place? I think he would have – Nick would have found a way. He is fully aware of who Carla is as a woman. He doesn’t want to marry a puppy, he wants to marry a tiger. She drinks, she’s always getting pushed into a corner, she looks for love in the wrong places. I’m trying to play the grey area in life, where it’s like, “We’re all adults, let’s start talking about this”. Nick’s already tried to call off the wedding – so what changed in him?…

Albert Square is in for a jaw-dropping week as Jane Beale battles for survival – after she’s brutally attacked by her killer son Bobby! In haunting scenes that mirror the night Bobby killed his sister Lucy, poor Jane’s lifeless body lies slumped on the floor of the Beale house as Bobby sits trembling with rage. But rather than reach out to a member of his family for help, the deeply troubled boy heads to the Vic and makes a huge admission in front of the pub… “It’s the moment we’ve been waiting for when Bobby’s bad behaviour is laid bare for all to see,” reveals our EastEnders insider. “The Beales have done everything they can to protect him, but the game is up now.” KILLER CONFESSION! With Stacey and Martin’s…

If Bobby is exposed as Lucy’s murderer, what does the future hold for the people involved in the killer cover-up? Ian and Jane are in it up to their necks as far as perverting the course of justice goes, plus Kathy, Phil and Sharon all know the truth as well. And the murder became an international conspiracy when Peter Beale and his girlfriend Lauren took the secret with them to New Zealand! Speaking of Lauren, she’s due back in Walford soon. Her dad Max is currrently in jail for Lucy’s murder – but could this week’s dramatic events lead to his release?…

“ HOLLY’S WORLD FALLS APART WHEN MOIRA TELLS HER THAT SHE HATES HER ” Troubled Holly betrays her mum Moira in the worst possible way this week – by making a pass at stepdad Cain. And that’s just the start of the drama for the Bartons, as Holly succumbs to her heroin addiction and takes a potentially fatal overdose! Holly’s ill-advised move happens after she humiliates new enemy Charity – a triumph that delights Cain. Flushed with victory, Holly mistakes Cain’s support for something more and tries to kiss him. But his reaction is not what she’s hoping for… “Cain just pushes her away,” reveals Sophie Powles, who plays Holly. “He’s in love with Moira – she’s his soulmate, and his loyalty lies with her. Holly has misread everything. When…
