The tragedy kickstarts a chain of events that throws the Mitchell clan into chaos, as Phil learns of a terrible betrayal while praying that his son survives… “Doing drugs with his dodgy new boyfriend James is Ben’s latest way of trying to forget the horror of being raped,” begins our Walford insider. “But he’s playing with fire as he sinks deeper into despair, and his self-destructive behaviour is upsetting his family.” Brooding Ben promises daughter Lexi that he’ll be at her dance exam and family dinner, only to disappoint his little girl by arriving late for her all-important performance.

There’s a familiar face riding into Walford this week, as Ravi – son of the Panesars’ old friend and business associate Ranveer – is released from jail. Rogue Ravi has a complicated history with the warring clan, and also crossed paths with Phil while they were both incarcerated, so to say he receives a mixed reception is putting it mildly! “Ravi is charming, cocky – and ruthless,” whispers our EastEnders insider. “Viewers first met him when Phil was banged up, and he helped his fellow inmate acquire a burner phone in exchange for information on their mutual acquaintance, Kheerat. “Ravi seemed to have it in for Suki’s eldest, and now he’s on the Square we’re about to learn the root of their rivalry!” We’re about to learn the root of…

But Annie knows how to handle the drama, as she’s had a long history with soap operas… “What has been the highlight of your seven years on Hollyoaks?” My favourite story was the romance between Sally and Myra.

TUESDAY 2 August VICKY PATTISON: ALCOHOL, DAD AND ME Channel 4 10PM Hello, Vicky – why did you want to make this documentary? I’ve been wanting to make it in one form or another for years, but I wasn’t in the right place: I was struggling with my own issues around alcohol. So much of who I am and who I’m becoming is shaped by my childhood; my dad’s illness. I think I had a desire for people to understand why I was the way I was, and to see alcoholism as a disease. What are your memories of your dad’s alcoholism? I remember walking home once, and dad was singing Walking To New Orleans – that was always his song. But he was using me to prop himself…

He doesn’t seem to recognise Faith at first, so she’s able to schmooze her way into the property. Though before she can grab the box, the penny drops that Faith is Eileen’s hated stepmum, and Angus chases her out.” Most people would give up at this point, but Faith has…

It’s been a maudlin few months over in Emmerdale, with Bernice mithering about her future, and Zoe moping over her Pinot Grigio. This week, however, things crank up a gear when some jolly new stories arrive. Top of the list is Alan and Rodney’s heartwarming coming-out tale. This is a shock to many, but particularly to Peg, who’s had her sights set on Turner since she moved to the B&B. But when lusty Peg wanders into Alan’s bedroom for the fifth time in one night, claiming she “thought it was the bathroom” (that old trick!), Rodders and Al decide it’s time to speak their truth.
