If you lived in soapland, you’d think you’d be a dab hand at pulling off the perfect big day. After all, you tend to get a lot of practice in that department! Take Emmerdale’s Laurel. This is her fourth wedding – with three to the same man – so you’d expect her to float up the aisle towards Ashley with her eyes shut. But no, she ends up with an incapacitated vicar, a family feud and a big secret revealed before she can say “I do” (see p36). And spare a thought for poor Leah in Home and Away on p16. This is also her fourth trip to the altar, so she reckons that she’s got it all sorted. Shame there’s just one thing she forgot to tick off her…

“EVIE SAYS THE LAST THING DENNY WOULD WANT IS TO STOP THE WEDDING” Zac and Leah’s wedding day ends in tragedy this week, as Charlotte is shot dead by a mystery assailant – after being unveiled as tragic Denny’s killer! What starts out as a beautiful celebration soon turns nasty when Charlotte gatecrashes the party and lets rip at all the guests. But there’s worse to come when Zac finds out that his ex was responsible for bumping off his niece… “It quickly goes from being the happiest day of Zac’s life to one of the most terrible,” reveals Charlie Clausen, who plays the groom. “It’s bad enough for Zac to find out that his niece was murdered, but to hear that his ex-girlfriend did it… He feels tremendous guilt…

While she’s been distracted by Phil and his problems, Ronnie has failed to notice that someone is holding a massive grudge against her – as a funeral wreath with a message that reads ‘R.I.P Ronnie Mitchell’ is put on her doorstep! Given her history, and the fact that both gangster Carl White and kind-hearted Fatboy are dead thanks to her, it’s no surprise that the killer Mitchell has a long list of sworn enemies. This chilling gesture is designed to remind Ronnie she’s not safe, and that plenty of people want to see her six feet under – not least those who loved the men she killed. Then there’s her ex Charlie Cotton, whom she drove out of Walford and their son Matthew’s life because she was bored with him.…

Peggy Mitchell will get the special goodbye she deserves when all of her children return for her final tearful farewell. Albert Square chiefs have confirmed that Danniella Westbrook – the original actress to play Peggy’s daughter, Sam – is to join Steve McFadden (Phil) and returning EastEnders legend Ross Kemp (Grant) to send off their screen mum in style… “Danniella is the final piece in the Mitchell jigsaw puzzle,” explains executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins. “She’ll only be back for a few episodes, but those scenes are bound to go down in EastEnders history.” Celebrity Big Brother finalist Danniella was the first actress to portray Sam when she was cast in the early 90s. She dipped in and out of the Square until 2000, after which Kim Medcalf took over from…

John Paul gets back in the dating game this week – but shifty Mrs St Claire isn’t very supportive of her colleague’s search for love!

However, Mrs St Claire is not happy when she discovers that John Paul pulled a sickie afterwards – so she forces him to cancel his lunch date with Jake and come to work instead. John Paul assumes that the head’s stern behaviour is a sign that she has a crush on him, and is surprised when Jake turns up at the school unannounced. Is JP’s new man all he seems? And what’s the deal with nosey Mrs St Claire? Also this week……

Jez is a bit cocky, but underneath it all he really just wants to learn from Iain. Jez is watching him closely, but tries to pretend that he’s not. His first shift doesn’t get off to a very good start, does it? No, the ambulance gets stolen! Jez hears that Cal and Ethan’s mother is dying, and she wants to go to the beach one…

“WE DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO LOCKIE… YET!” All Hollyoaks’ Cameron has ever wanted is to be a father to Peri – and having kept a lid on all his dodgy dealings, he finally has the ‘happy’ family he desires. Unfortunately, the overprotective father is driving his teen daughter to despair! And while Cameron has certainly done plenty of unforgiveable things in his time – murder being one of them! – actor Cameron Moore reckons it’s his character’s neurotic parenting skills that will rub viewers up the wrong way… “People like bad boys, so I think it’s okay to kill people if you’re quite cool about it!” insists the star. “But nobody really likes an overbearing dad. Some of the ways Cameron has been treating Peri has made me go,…

She’s used to a touch of brass as Mercedes, but Hollyoaks’ Jennifer Metcalfe proved she can give it a real touch of class as she got done up ahead of a trip to the Grand National next month. The actress joined her boyfriend – former Geordie Shore star Greg Lake – for a styling session by the Liverpool ONE centre in the city. The pair were treated to several styles appropriate for the glamorous affair, which runs from 7 to 9 April – and Jen is looking forward to getting all glammed up for the big event. “I loved the ladylike approach to styling – it gave me some great ideas for the races,” she enthuses. Alsostarring...…

THROWN OFF THE SCENT Oliver Farnworth (Andy) has disclosed an interesting fact about himself – he lost the ability to smell after being knocked on his head when he was a teen.

When you and a friend are given the chance to try something new this week, be patient if they’re not immediately up for it.

JACK DUCKWORTH To lead the Weatherfield women’s bowling team to victory, Jack adopted the guise ‘Ida Fagg’. His wife Vera was so convinced by Ida she thought Jack was having an affair! CHARITY DINGLE Emmerdale’s Charity enjoyed slipping on a bobbed brunette wig and flirting with rich men at a posh hotel. She would then steal their car keys – and Cain would make off with their wheels. JENNY BRADLEY Disturbed Jenny wigged up in the hope of smuggling little Jack out of Weatherfield without being recognised. But rather than averting suspicion, the wig gave the game away… VAL POLLARD In another spot of Dales wig action, Val disguised herself as Brenda to help her pal Bob get an illegal bank loan. Sadly, it all blew up in their faces…

Diego has made it clear to Myra that he’d like them to start trying for a baby, and given all the time they’ve spent in the bedroom recently, it’s not a huge leap for him to think Myra could be in the family way! But how will she respond after Diego realises something doesn’t add up about her age? “Myra’s told Diego that she’s 38, when in reality she’s closer to 50,” chuckles Nicole Barber-Lane, who plays her. “She’s past her prime and doesn’t know if she can even get pregnant…

Zac and Leah’s big day was actually filmed last summer – just weeks before Charlie tied the knot with his real-life leading lady, Gemma Lee… “Zac’s wedding was my warm-up!” jokes the actor. “My wife and I made a very spontaneous choice to get married while we were on holiday in the States. We’d been together for 12 years before that, though, so it wasn’t exactly a rash decision! “I had the big dramatic wedding on screen and a really small, intimate one in real life. It was the perfect balance.”…

Practice manager Anthony exerts his power again this week, as he slyly suggests that Heston consider taking early retirement. Anthony informs Heston that he has an exciting proposition for him – but on discovering what his boss has in mind, Heston is less keen!

I look forward to every scene we do together, and she’s super-talented and always professional.” “I think the Lovedays are my favourite family in Hollyoaks right now – they’re so brilliant! I’ve had a couple of scenes on the boat with Kiza Deen [Lisa] and Duayne Boachie [Zack] recently, but I’d love for Cameron to have plenty more scenes with Zack in the future.”…

WE’RE NOT entirely sure what this sharp and funny thriller is doing going out on Saturday nights, which seems like an odd fit scheduling-wise, but it’s giving us a great reason to stay at home. The tale of a stag party marooned in the Scottish Highlands and being murdered one by one is a satisfying blend of whodunnit horror and self-aware humour - and the balance is struck brilliantly, so the jokes don’t detract from the scares. In this week’s concluding part, the four survivors make one last attempt to unmask the killer - but will they make it back to safety?…

Phil has been lurching round Albert Square for weeks, drunk as a skunk – even though he’s been told the booze could kill him! It’s no wonder most of you want to know what on earth he’s playing at… Why is nobody in Walford trying to stop Phil from drinking? I thought it was meant to be about family for the Mitchells, yet none of them seem to care that Phil is slowly killing himself. Jasmine, via email I love watching Steve McFadden playing drunk Phil – he’s just so good at it! Every time I see Phil stumbling round Walford, I’m convinced that he really is drunk. Surely the actor deserves an award for this? Nick, Slough Everyone should stop being so hard on poor Phil – have they…

There’s nothing else on TV like You’re Back In The Room – the game show where hypnotist Keith Barry puts contestants in a trance and persuades them to do things that could hamper their chances of winning a large cash prize.
