Fugitives Keanu and Louise are back on the Square this week – alongside Louise’s mother Lisa – but can the innocent mechanic persuade Ben to tell the police the truth about Phil’s attack? Keanu fled Walford after he was accused by Ben of bashing Phil, and – knowing he would be facing years in jail if he was found guilty – he made the heartbreaking decision to go on the run with his pregnant fiancée. But now the pair are home, and Keanu knows Ben is the key to clearing his name.

Stacey Fowler is on the run for her attack on Phil – but we could see her back in Walford a lot sooner than we expected! Star Lacey Turner, who plays her, was written out of the show to go on maternity leave and has since given birth to a beautiful baby daughter, Dusty. However, Lacey recently returned to Elstree studios, where EastEnders is filmed, to shoot new material – while James Bye, who plays Stacey’s husband, Martin – has also been spotted filming on location. Might the pair be set to hand themselves in to the police? “Lacey returned to film a few scenes for one episode,” says our Walford insider. “She is not back permanently, and is still taking her maternity leave.” While Stacey and Martin lie low,…

Mitchell has always appeared to be head-over-heels for Cleo, but with his feelings for Scott deepening this week, will the pair start a steamy affair? After Scott rocks up to the McQueen house in drag in an attempt to cheer up downtrodden Cleo, Mitchell is lost for words – and unable to hide his attraction towards Scott’s alter ego, Anita Tinkle… “When Mitchell sees Anita, he acts like a little schoolboy,” grins Imran Adams, who plays Mitchell. “He doesn’t know what he’s doing! Mitchell’s someone who’s used to being a confident guy – he’s not given to being flustered.” And to add to Mitchell’s confusion, he soon finds out a lot more about Cleo’s colourful past. But will the revelation push him closer to Scott? “Mitchell’s definitely shocked,” explains Imran.…

He goes to the place where Ollie was last seen, and attempts to track him on his phone. It’s more by accident that he finds him sitting on the edge of a bridge.” As David and Ollie…

Horrified to have realised that her estranged husband has already moved on with none other than The Mill’s own practice manager, fuming Zara is incapable of keeping her emotions under control. And her initial pledge to keep a dignified counsel ends up well and truly out of the window when she invites poor Becky to a seemingly innocent girls’ night out – as Elisabeth Dermot Walsh, who plays Zara, reveals… So tell us, Elisabeth – just what level of flabbergasted is Zara to know that Becky is Daniel’s new flame?

Continuing to struggle under the weight of her secret this week, Irene finally confesses everything to the police! “As Irene makes her way to the station, Bella has already told Colby,” explains Lynne McGranger, the actress who plays her. “So he’s ready when Irene arrives at the station, and it all starts to unfold.” Not only does Irene find herself under scrutiny from the police, but she also has to face the wrath of her pals. “Irene’s terrified of her friends finding out,” admits Lynne. “In some respects that’s her biggest fear.” Following Irene’s confession, Tommy wakes from his coma and is soon charged by the police!

This week’s Holby City opens with an almighty crack of thunder, as torrential rain lashes down outside the hospital. Yet, that’s nothing compared to the other big storm heading in Jac’s direction, as her ex Joseph Byrne and love rival Faye Morton make their hugely anticipated return! Actress Patsy Kensit, who plays Faye – and who is also famous in soapland for playing Sadie King in Emmerdale – dishes the drama… It’s lovely to chat again, Patsy! What tempted you back to Holby for this story? Well, it’s the 20th anniversary year of the show, which is unbelievable! They explained how they were going to bring back Faye, and I thought the script was fantastic. Rosie [Marcel, who plays Jac] and Luke [Roberts, aka Joseph] were both my best friends…

D et Superintendent Steve Fulcher’s investigation into the murder of 22-year-old Sian O’Callaghan resulted in the conviction of taxi driver Christopher Halliwell, as well as the revelation that he’d also killed 20-year-old Becky Godden-Edwards. But it also resulted in Fulcher being found guilty of gross misconduct and resigning as, at the time of the confession, he hadn’t cautioned Halliwell or offered him access to a solicitor. This new ITV drama explores the enquiry and its aftermath, and we caught up with Martin Freeman, who stars as Steve, and Imelda Staunton, who plays Becky’s mother, Karen… How did it feel playing these real-life people? Martin You do feel a sense of responsibility, I guess, to attend to the truth of something – and it’s all the more apparent when the person…

What should be the happiest day of Whitney’s life turns into her worst nightmare this week – after she finally discovers that Callum cheated on her with Ben!

But will the bride be able to move past his betrayal, so the pair can live happily ever after? “I think the word ‘happily’ for Callum might be the wrong word!” despairs actor Tony Clay, who plays him. “I think in his mind, in terms of what Callum’s dad and brother think – and what he thinks the world’s interpretation of him is – marrying Whitney is what he…

Playing a liar is a tricky business, so Laura tells us that she looked for inspiration from the very best – namely, some of Hollywood’s finest actresses. She says that watching Big Little Lies – the drama series starring Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep – helped her to undertake the different elements of Kerry’s cover-up. “This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to play at Emmerdale,” she explains. “In real life, when people are lying, they are convincing. But I need to show the audience that Kerry is living with her guilt. So, I watched Big Little Lies, where these women are living with a lie about a death that they are collectively responsible for. It was amazing to see all the different angles these amazing actresses…

Gemma and Chesney don’t do things by halves – they’re having four babies, for a start! And their little ones look set to make their arrival in the most dramatic way – while the pair are riding a cable car, after Chesney proposes! “Stars Sam Aston and Dolly-Rose Campbell, who play them, have been filming lots of intriguing scenes on location,” reports our Corrie spy. “First they were spotted at Weatherfield County football stadium, where Gemma’s massive baby bump gets stuck in the turnstiles, and the fire brigade is called to rescue her! Then, it looks as if Chesney is proposing to Gemma when he drops down on one knee – before they end up in the cable car!” Judging by the anxious look on Gemma’s face, it appears her…

“I never thought that Marlon and Jessie had much chemistry. As she’s leaving, would it be too much to hope for a return from Carly – she and Marlon had a real laugh together.” …wonders reader Annie from Derby “Denise Welch said on Loose Women that her Coronation Street character Natalie Barnes still owns half of Kevin’s garage. Come on, Corrie producers, let’s have her back!” …suggests reader Debbie from Doncaster “I’ll tell you who I think would make a good couple in Walford… Mitch and Kathy.

He’s gay, so…

Terrified Fiz and Tyrone face every parent’s worst nightmare this week, when their daughter Hope is caught up in a fire at the factory!

Will Lola be brave enough to put her heart on the line?…

There could be a hot new romance in Emmerdale this week, as Dawn develops feelings for Billy. Following his disastrous flirtation with Tracy, Billy is back on the market and Dawn likes what she sees. Her own track record is pretty terrible, and she recently blew the chance of a relationship with best mate Ryan. But, after some encouragement from Harriet, Dawn plucks up the courage to go for it and ask Billy out, keeping her fingers crossed that he’ll say yes. Aside from Ryan, Dawn’s historically gone for bad boys – and although Billy has an edge, he’s working hard to stay on the straight and narrow. So, when he agrees to lunch, it looks as if Dawn’s luck might be changing. Could this be the start of something…

’TIL THE COPS DO US PART… It’s about time Home and Away’s Robbo and Jasmine faced the fact that they’re cursed! It’s taken them so long to get together in the first place – then, when they finally get hitched, their wedding is stormed by the federal police. It was such a dramatic episode, but I reckon the new Mr and Mrs Shaw are doomed! Elizabeth NAUGHTY OR NICE? Is EastEnders’ Stuart luring us into a false sense of security, being Mr Nice Guy? Against my better judgement I am actually beginning to like him. He was almost a lifesaver with Mick, best of buddies with Sonia and Bex, and it seems on the outside just the person Rainie needs to help her through life. But surely the cracks will…

SAMIA LONGCHAMBON Actress Samia (Maria) and her family sailed around Mallorca on a yacht – owned by Aussie star Holly Valance (Neighbours ex Flick Scully) no less!

One of the more terrifying things that’s been popping up in the news lately is the idea of ‘deepfakes’ – a video manipulated by technology to make a person appear to be saying or doing something that they didn’t really do. It opens up a huge legal and ethical quagmire: if we have video of someone seemingly committing an illegal act, can we take it at face value? This impressively timely new drama puts that concept to the test. After soldier Shaun Emery’s barrister successfully argues that the helmet-cam footage used to convict him of unlawful killing in Afghanistan was flawed and inadmissible, he’s a free man again. But not for long, because a night out takes a scary turn when CCTV shows Shaun appearing to assault and kidnap someone…

There’s one word we associate with Clare Balding from her hosting just about every live sporting event you can think of: ‘unflappable’. But when the opportunity came for her to guest-host sports quiz A League Of Their Own in James Corden’s absence, the presenter admits she was well out of her comfort zone… “You’re taking on something successful and really popular, and you don’t want to mess it up!” Clare tells Inside TV. “It helped that I know Freddie [Flintoff] and Jamie [Redknapp], and I do know about sport – but doing the show, that was the scary bit. I was nervous!” Clare’s been a guest on the panel before, but hosting requires a lot more preparation before filming – and she tells us they welcomed her input… “I suggested…

Tony, you’ve broken Whit’s heart! Just what do you have to say for yourself? Tony I’m really sorry! Poor Whitney, but hooray for Ballum! How has the public reacted to it? Max I don’t think either of us expected it to be as immediate and brilliant as it has been! Tony I think that Callum brings out a side to Ben that he knows is in there. He looks at Ben and thinks, ‘All that anger, I understand that, I’ve been surrounded by that in the Army, people pretending to be who they aren’t’. However, there is a good person inside of Ben, which makes him endearing and lovely, and Callum really tries to bring out the part of him that he loves. Could Ben and Callum make a proper…

While Mel prepares to flee the Square with jailbreaker son Hunter this week, she’s horrified to realise her boy is going nowhere until his nemesis Jack has been punished! Having violently broken his way out of prison, Hunter remains hell bent on bringing down the man he blames for his incarceration. Managing to escape his mother’s desperate clutches, Hunter coldly stalks his prey. But as his bid to target Jack goes dangerously awry, he finds himself trapped in the Vic – where a gunshot soon rings out. So who will die? “The pub is packed to the gills with Callum and Whitney’s wedding guests, and nobody is safe,” reveals our Walford insider. “Hunter’s fury knows no bounds, and with Mel helpless to change his mind, he’ll stop at nothing to…

It certainly seems that Bethany’s life is at a bit of a crossroads at the moment. Her recent encounter with a man from one of her abuser Nathan’s parties made her confront her past, while her frisson with Daniel this week also looks as though it will see her re-evaluate her life. And with actress Lucy Fallon set to leave the show next year, when her current contract expires, it seems that there are dramatic times in the offing for Bethany. “Excited for my final year at the best place,” she said when she annouced her departure. With Lucy winning the ITV show All Star Musicals in 2017, perhaps a career on the stage could be on the cards. But what drama lies ahead that will see Bethany blast out…

To their horror, however, the 16-year-old lad seems to be more in love with Maya than ever… “Jacob is still optimistic that Maya will get out of prison and they will be reunited,” explains our Dales insider. “Sadly, it could be years before he…

Dean is absolutely furious this week, when he finds his best mate Colby in bed with his sister, Mackenzie! Although Colby and Mac have been hooking up for quite a while, they’ve opted to keep their romance under wraps for fear of upsetting Dean – besides which, Dean and Mackenzie haven’t exactly been on speaking terms recently anyway.

As Dean storms off in disgust, will he ever be able to forgive the pair?…

Having all of your exes together in one room would be most people’s worst nightmare – especially if you have as many former wives as Paul Robinson! Yet that nightmare comes true this week, when he’s confronted by the ex-Mrs Robinsons at the same time… “It’s actually starting to have a real psychological impact on Paul – a lot of guilt is surfacing from his wrongdoing from the past,” explains Stefan Dennis, who plays him. “Paul has always been very good at compartmentalising his life and moving on, but this is bringing it all back four-fold!” Hot on the heels of Gail and Lyn’s arrivals, there’s more drama in store for Paul when his other ex-wives, Rebecca and Christina, return to his life, too! So is this all just a…

Some people spend their whole childhoods dreaming of lighting up the stage and screen – but Lorna admits that she got into showbusiness entirely by mistake! “I did my gold Duke of Edinburgh award, and I needed a skill,” she recalls. “I was really young, and my friend was auditioning for the Birmingham Rep, and asked me to come along. When I got there, they said, ‘You can’t just watch, you have to do it’. So I did it and I got into the youth theatre –but my friend didn’t!”…

Corrie’s Geoff could have a lot of questions to answer when people find out how he’s been treating Yasmeen! But how will Ian fare when faced with your interrogation? “What or who inspired you to be an actor?” “Who has been your most memorable co-star?” My dad. He was in the RAF – he was based in Sri Lanka during the war – and he had a three-piece singing band with two other guys from his unit. He used to take me to rehearsals for the local naval-base pantomime. He was a fantastic singer – that’s what he always wanted to do, but he never had the chance. He died when I was small, but my mum encouraged me because she knew he wanted to do it. “Were you a…
