Ho, ho, ho, I officially declare the festive season open! And yes, I know the decorations have been up for weeks already and the Yuletide tunes have been blasting on the radio, but it’s only truly the time for glad tidings once we bring you the legendary Inside Soap Christmas preview! And boy, are you all in for a treat… I won’t tease too much for you here, as that’s a bit like peeking at your presents before Christmas Day arrives. But if you’re hoping soap Santa brings you a big dollop of Swarla drama, served with a side of Charity Dingle and a naughty bit of Max Branning for dessert, then you won’t be disappointed! Turn over for a whopping eight pages of festive secrets… Before we get to…

Max’s big comeback is the gift that keeps on giving this Chrimbo, as the bad boy returns to Walford just in time to shake up the festive season! It’s no secret that the Brannings will be out in force for baby Jimmy’s christening, where his granddad Max will come face to face with Cindy – who has waited years to confront the man responsible for son Steven’s death. So, don’t expect peace on earth when the pair finally meet! Yet, this is just the beginning of a huge year ahead for Max, who will be the focus of an episode set to air on New Year’s Day – flashing into the future… “We’re going to be offering our viewers an entire flashforward episode set on New Year’s Day 2027,” explains…

Christmas in Hollyoaks is always a dramatic affair, but Jorgie hints that the McQueens in particular could be in for a very cruel yule… “We’ve filmed Christmas, which is one of those McQueen family days where it all ends up a bit chaotic!” she chuckles. “I’m sure that not everyone’s Christmas goes to plan, but I can definitely say ours is not a planned event. They’re all in a disastrous place in their own little heads…”…

Phil dons a special costume this week, after Lexi recruits Billy to persuade her grandad to take on a role in Nigel’s film! But will he agree to play the character for real? As Nigel, Julie and Lexi prepare to audition their friends and neighbours for a film that Nigel has penned, it’s down to the Walford gang to prove their talents and demonstrate that they’re good enough for a starring role. Priya, Elaine, Callum, Harvey and Ian are all eager to land a part, but there’s one particular fella that Lexi wants to see flex his acting chops… “Lexi is so eager for Phil to step into character!” grins our EastEnders informant. “It’s not hard to see why. Who wouldn’t want to see Phil Mitchell giving the performance of…

Kim Fox can be a hard woman to impress, so Howie has to pull all the stops out this week as he pops the question to his influencer girlfriend. But the real question here is just how far has he gone to fund the big gesture? Howie’s made some dodgy decisions lately – and star Tameka Empson tells us Kim has no idea that her perfect proposal may have come at a terrible cost… “Howie puts Kim in the spotlight, which is where Kim loves to be!” laughs Tameka. “He plays a blinder because he gets the kids involved and does this big, public proposal at the Christmas lights switch-on. Kim loves love, she loves joy and the ring is amazing – the fact that she feels treated and seen…

Theo spends most of his days skulking around and terrorising Todd in the flat, but James’ favourite moments have a different tone to them entirely. Although Theo might have been hating every minute of it, the big group scenes set in the Rovers or in Manchester’s gay village were James’ favourite to film. Especially those involving one cast member in particular, he tells us… “Big group scenes with lots of cast feel like school trips!” shares the star. “They’re so funny. Coronation Street does that joyous energy so well. “Some of the scenes I’ve most enjoyed have been those group ones,” he adds. “The gay village. Dev’s stag do in the Rovers! I love Jimmi Harkishin, who plays Dev. We don’t have many scenes but he’s hilarious. And the big…

Sara Cox presents this sweet new eight-part series, which sees people’s happy places and favourite moments brought to life in front of them – in the form of miniature models… “As soon as I heard about the series, I knew it was the show for me,” raves Sara. “There’s something so magical about things in miniature!” A team of expert model makers recreate locations that hold a special place in people’s hearts, using detailed research to ensure that the mini replica is as accurate as possible… “It’s been fascinating to see the artists breathe life back into places that are no longer standing or have fallen into disrepair,” cheers Sara. “I was forever playing with them and peering into the windows of these tiny little structures.” Sara will also be…

It’s not just the oven at the Rovers on full blast this Yuletide, as secrets explode for Eva and the Driscolls! After discovering a hidden letter and witnessing a tender moment between Eva and Adam, seething Maggie decides that vengeance is a dish best served cold… “As Eva’s daughter Susie makes an innocent wish for another sibling, her mum struggles to hide a guilty secret,” whispers a Street spokesperson. “As Eva confides in Adam, Maggie’s conniving plan to oust Eva begins to unfold, promising a Christmas dinner that no one will forget!” And that’s not the only drama brewing, as Will is forced to confront Chrimbo dinner with his secret girlfriend Megan sat across the table looking cosy with her new beau, Daniel. “Gifts have shattering consequences, while accusations and…

Christmas is a time for families to come together and wipe the slate clean – unless you’re Gemma Johnson! Donny’s dangerous long-lost daughter is causing all kinds of chaos this festive season in Hollyoaks village, as she seeks vengeance on her father for faking his death and abandoning her 20 years ago to escape gangster Froggy’s fatal threats. “This festive period, Gemma’s cold heart towards her dad begins to thaw,” teases our Hollyoaks insider. “Will her quest for revenge be halted? It’s not just Gemma complicating Donny’s Christmas, as his relationship with Misbah hits the rocks once again. Donny’s a changed man since murdering Griff, and is pushing confused Misbah away. The pair are already on shaky ground after Donny’s dalliance with Clare Devine, but when he finds a way…

SAM We know Zoe’s old enemy is on her way back to Walford – could she have fired a few warning shots ahead of her return? MAX Their break-up was messy, and even though Max broke it off, the man has a mean streak. Tormenting Zoe from afar would send the message that he doesn’t want her. ROSS Knowing the beef between his ex and Zoe over Dirty Den’s death, has Ross gone after Zoe in Vicki’s honour, as part of a twisted attempt to win her back? BIG MO Her sense of humour is something of an acquired taste. Maybe Zoe’s nan is playing a prank she thought would be hilarious – only it’s got horribly out of hand……

Dee-Dee has life-changing news to share with Ayla this week, but is she making plans to leave Weatherfield for good? This announcement comes as Dee-Dee’s family begin to notice some strange behaviour from the ambitious lawyer, then she dumps new boyfriend Ollie. What is Dee-Dee about to tell her loved ones? “It’s no secret that actress Channique Sterling-Brown is leaving the cobbles soon,” points out our Corrie source. “Could Dee-Dee have news of an amazing opportunity which takes her away from Weatherfield? How will the Baileys feel about this?” Loved-up Ollie was eager to introduce new girlfriend Dee-Dee to his larger-than-life family when they arrived to take over the Rovers. So after he suggests they spend Christmas Day together, he’s a little confused when Dee-Dee refuses to commit to his…

“I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want…” A storyline would be nice. “I overslept. I’m sorry, very sorry.” “You never know when some handsome toyboy might sweep me off my feet and set me gently on my stairlift.” A call to action if ever we heard one! “You got hammered the night before a very important funeral.” As opposed to the funerals that aren’t very important? “Thank you for listening to a panicky, middle-age but very witty man. Maybe we can go out for another drink soon?” How can she refuse? “I don’t really have a love life.” “You’re a sadder case than I am right now.” She wishes. “Please can we drop this for now?” “No…

Neighbours at war! It’s bittersweet to say it, because we’re approaching the end of Neighbours, but the aftermath of the Andrew and Holly affair has been some of the best soap I’ve seen all year! Explosive, tense, emotional – it even touched on Karl and Susan’s history. Superb stuff. James, Brighton DOCTOR LOLS Although Emmerdale’s been pretty dark lately, there have been so many moments that have made me giggle. I loved Kammy’s cringey houseparty, but Liam has been the star of the show. Not only has his panic over Kev given me a laugh, his banter with Mackenzie was absolutely brilliant. I loved their impressions of each other – spot on. Not sure it’ll ever beat Liam and Cain’s unexpected bromance, though! Faye, Hartlepool Liam is the gift that…

“Would I like Celia to get what’s coming to her? No, I’d love to see her escape and flee!” declares star Jaye Griffiths when we ask what might happen when she inevitably leaves the Dales behind. “Her comeuppance is that she’s lonely. She has all this money in the bank, which we can legitimately assume is squillions, yet she does nothing. She doesn’t see anyone or have any friends. She manipulates everybody she meets. It’s a lonely existence.” As far as we know, Celia’s only real associate is her right-hand man and son, Ray, otherwise known as the twisted person who dragged April and Dylan into drug dealing, and helpless Bear into modern slavery. From where we’re sitting, Ray’s relationship with his mum is one held in place by fear…

While Kim remains in the dark about Howie’s secrets, star Tameka was also at the centre of some lies and deceit off screen via her recent part in The Celebrity Traitors. The actress was the second celeb to be banished from the show, in which she was a Faithful, but was accused by her fellow celebs of being a Traitor. However, a Traitor is exactly what she wanted to be! “I was disappointed I didn’t get a shoulder tap from Claudia,” she admits of not being chosen. “In my mind, I’ve always been a Traitor, so I had to think, ‘Now I’m a Faithful, how do I play the game? How do I do this?’”…

Only out of drama school last year, newcomer Logan Mersh has been catapulted into one of the leading roles in this new three-way drama, playing shady wounded stranger Ben. And it was a quick turnaround to make his character work… “After my last audition, I had two and a half weeks to prepare, so it’s not a long time to take a script like that and try to make something happen,” he tells Inside TV. “I’m careful not to be too pretentious when talking about acting, but basically, I just try not to fake things. I do the research, turn up, do the work, and hope that it bleeds through on screen – and gives the story the respect it’s due…”…

It’s the last in Alan Carr’s 80s-set sitcom for now, but don’t go Cryin’ – S4 has already been filmed! And as the man himself reveals to Inside TV, Young Alan will be Moving On Up into the 90s… “There was a definite shift,” Alan reasons. “The 80s felt old-fashioned, you know? The 90s felt modern and new. TV looked high-end; wallpapers changed; my mum and dad got a fax machine, stuff like that. It didn’t feel like a period piece, writing series four.” Meanwhile, Alan gives his footie-manager dad Graham credit for how to respond when he gets recognised in town… “I remember my dad would sign autographs and he would always chat,” he shares. “Now, people come up to me, and it’s so sweet – or they’ll go…

BULLSEYE! If Kev wasn’t our new favourite before his outstanding rendition of Daniel Beddingfield’s If You’re Not The One, he sure is now! This was hands down the most excruciatingly brilliant piece of television we’ve ever had the joy of watching, and he is now surely a worthy contender for Scene Of The Year, the Christmas No.1 and perhaps even the UK’s entry for Eurovision! She brings it all on herself. Matchy or snatchy? These two need to make their minds up! Either two predator women on the Street is part of some grand plan, or there’s been an awful mix-up in the Corrie story office. Oh, EastEnders. Pub quizzes are like root canals, you’re forced to indulge them from time to time, but not every week. With Kev in…

Nothing says Christmas like the imminent arrival of a bouncing baby, but as Charity’s pregnancy continues she digs herself deeper into the lie about her unborn child’s paternity, setting the scene for some tense family moments! “Charity’s pregnancy is progressing very well – in medical terms, at least,” whispers a spokesperson for Emmerdale. “Emotionally, however, it remains a roller coaster, and the turmoil shows no signs of slowing down this Yuletide. Can Charity navigate the twists and turns?” Never mind a bun in the oven, Charity’s child is more like a ticking time bomb. Sarah is still none the wiser that her gran isn’t carrying her baby, and that the pregnancy is actually a result of Charity’s drunken night with Ross. Mackenzie is also clueless that Charity cheated; only Chas…

Devastated April finally admits her dark secrets to Marlon and Rhona this week – before Celia turns up at their family home, hellbent on revenge! Seeing no choice but to complete another job for Ray, April packs her bags and heads for the bus stop. However, Marlon intercepts his little girl, leading her to eventually confess that she’s been dealing drugs – but when Celia gets wind of the situation, she heads straight for Smithy Cottage… “April telling Marlon and Rhona everything means that Celia will have to explain to them in no uncertain terms what their new reality is!” grimaces Jaye Griffiths, who plays Celia. “April will have brought this upon her own family; Celia warned her what would happen. Celia doesn’t make threats, empty or otherwise, she just…

Hi, Vicky! Given the break-up, where is Lisa’s head at? At this point, she’s numb. She still has a love for Becky, but where Carla’s concerned, she’s never known anything like it – the relationship, the family dynamic, the maturity that’s been brought out in Betsy since Carla has been in her life. I don’t think Lisa has any idea how she’s feeling. She’s so confused; her heart is broken. There’s hope there, but what does she do about Becky? What does she do about Betsy? At this moment in time, Lisa feels she can’t do anything right. Do you think Lisa could be swayed by Becky? The love for Carla is too deep at this stage. But Lisa has been manipulated by Costello. So, as far as Lisa is…

Theresa returns to the village this week – and it’s not long before she reunites with her ex, Dodger!

Returning Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter chats to us about the trouble that Theresa’s in… Hi, Jorgie! Theresa tells Goldie that she’s been conned out of her valuable diamonds this week – what exactly happened? In true Theresa style, there’s a dumb situation. Theresa’s not dumb, but she does stupid things. So in that aspect, we’re a bit like, “oh, Theresa!”. Warren is…

Fiona, Bradford I can see why Sharon might be a bit weird about her brother and sister getting together, but she can’t talk – what about Dennis! There’s nothing incestuous about it and they didn’t grow up together either. I’m all for it…

Loyal listeners to our podcast, Soap Scoop, will already know how we feel about Joe Absolom, aka Ray (spoiler: we’re big fans). Since joining Emmerdale in July, Joe has hit the ground running and impressively fleshed out Ray as a character that repels us one moment, then leaves us with twinges of sympathy the next. So, when we ask Jaye which one of her co-stars she most looks forward to sharing scenes with, we’re delighted when she confirms it’s Joe… “Who I most look forward to sharing scenes with depends on if I’m going to hurt anyone that day!” she quips. “Or if I’m going to shout at someone, or slap them around the chops! With Joe, I’ve done innumerable scenes where he says, ‘Yes, no’, in a four-page scene.…

We might’ve had Theo marked as a wrong’un from day one, but we couldn’t imagine just how horrifying his behaviour would get. We can’t look away from this powerful same-sex domestic abuse story, and it’s set to get worse in the coming weeks as we approach a unique, special episode. This week, Theo forces Todd to hide in the flat to cover his abuse as his control escalates. But the moment Todd tries to stand up for himself, his twisted lover flips out and starts hitting himself in the face! As Theo’s behaviour escalates, actor James Cartwright reveals the challenges of taking on such a vicious role… Hi James! Were you shocked when you heard the turn this storyline was going to take? I wasn’t so much surprised, but more…
