“Surely we can all now start to look forward…” Hello to you all, and a very happy New Year. I hope your festivities weren’t too curtailed by the increased restrictions. Surely we can all now start to look forward. Inside Soap certainly has been, as it’s time for our annual New Year preview. Turn the page to find a sneak peek at the plots of 2021, as well as chats with the stars you’ll be seeing a lot more of in the coming months. The year definitely kicks off with a bang, with the repercussions of the big Christmas shocks still being felt in all of the soaps. EastEnders sees Gray continue to cover his tracks (what a shock Tina’s death was – I was sat so close to the…

Sparks will fly for Nina, as she embarks on a romance with a mystery character yet to be named! But it won’t be plain sailing for the couple… “The love story is unique, and might not end up entirely where you’d expect it to,” teases Iain. “It turns into a massive social-issue story that deals with the tolerance of minorities and people in sub-cultures, who don’t look like everyone else. I think it will come as a huge talking point for next year, about how the world looks and views someone like Nina. We will explore that to heartbreaking effect, drawing in Roy, Kevin and Abi in a hugely emotive community story.”…

Dream team! Kheerat forms an unlikely alliance with another family on the Square, but who is he in cahoots with? And how will Suki react? Three’s a crowd! Chaos ensues after Tiff and Keegan move in with troublesome Dotty! Can the three of them learn to live in harmony, or are they set to become the housemates from hell? New love – and loss! One mistake too many spells the end for a beloved Walford couple. However, love is on the cards for Lola and Isaac! Meanwhile, as others embark on unexpected new romances, which of the pairings will actually go the distance?…

The New Year will see the Hollyoaks drama ramp up, as the soap returns to five episodes a week. And that extra episode will bring with it some big action – and some new characters… First up is a huge surprise in store for Maxine, as her mum Trish – played by Denise Welch – rocks up in the village. “Maxine hasn’t seen her mum in a very long time,” our Chester insider tells us. “Maxine has been through so much in the past few years – an abusive marriage, being diagnosed with Munchausen’s – and Trish wasn’t there for any of it. However, Maxine is gutted to realise that she’s not even the reason her mum has come to the village!” BAD ROMANCE? Elsewhere, romance blossoms for Toby and…

History could end up repeating itself after Holby City again comes under siege! The team will surely be haunted by the events of 2017 when Jac was shot, and Raf Di Lucca lost his life after being gunned down by Fredrik Hanssen. But whose finger is on the trigger this time? And what will become of lovers Jac and Kian if they’re in the firing line? Also, Cameron’s colleagues are slowly wising up to his twisted true colours. Will 2021 see his downfall? Elsewhere, Sacha and Jodie’s relationship has ramifications for Dom as he suffers an accident, while romance could be on the cards for Ange and Josh. But what about Fletch?…

Killer Gray keeps victim Tina’s family in the dark this week – by sending fake texts from his victim’s phone! Mick and Shirley are terrified for Tina as they prepare to attend court for her hearing, convinced that if she doesn’t show up, she’ll be considered guilty. They are praying that she sees sense and attends after all, unaware that Gray violently murdered her and is the person sending the texts. “Gray didn’t reckon on how much Tina’s family loves her…” “It’s horrifying to see Gray string the Carters along like this for his own benefit,” whispers our Walford insider. “They have no idea that Tina is already lost to them, and that the man they trust is guilty of killing her. Instead, they are fretting over missing court dates…

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, young star Dexter Ansell – who plays Lucas - has spent most of the year away from the set. So, when he was finally able to return recently, Olivia was delighted. “It was so lovely to have him back on set, it’s been ages – months and months!” says the star. “The last time we saw each other, we never expected it to be so long. It’s a shame because the storylines we’ve already had would have had an extra element having Dexter physically in the scenes. It would have added much more pressure on Dawn, so I’ve missed working with him. It’s fab to have Dexter back on set!”…

The Alahan twins celebrate a far-from-sweet 16th birthday this week, thanks to dad Dev’s misguided gift idea. Aadi and Asha are thrilled as Dev teases a huge surprise. But when Dev reveals that he’s added both their initials to the corner shop sign, neither of the twins can hide their disappointment. However, that’s not the only birthday bother… “It’s Asha’s 16th, and she’s soon uncomfortable with all Corey’s insinuations about sex,” says our Corrie spy. “But she’s later floored when he comments on what she’s wearing.” Asha has been given a chocker by Nina, and Corey comments that it’d look better on a dog. Overhearing their talk, Yasmeen is appalled and speaks to Asha about it, while Nina also counsels the upset teen. Asha decides to put the necklace back…

Ste is employed by Marnie this week, and is determined to make a good impression on his neighbours. Initially Ste starts working at the law firm, but the atmosphere between him, Sami and James is awkward. After quickly leaving that job, Ste is hired by Marnie to clean at Salon De Thé. Determined to make it work, Ste helps Marnie to prepare for a gathering – however, he’s irritated when he finds out that it’s actually a virtual dinner party! What will Ste do next?…

I’d love to see Les Battersby and his bad-boy son Greg Kelly return to Coronation Street. It would be great for the both of them to have some family time with Leanne, Toyah, Fiz and, most of all, Chesney. Bruce Jones – who played Les – was fabulous, and I miss him. Bring him back! Ann Clare Devine from Hollyoaks! Her exit for such a big character was wasted, and it would be a massive twist if she wasn’t dead after all. I mean, she’s done it once so she can do it again… Lewis Eva Price needs to return to Corrie! The show hasn’t really been the same since she left. She’s always an utter joy to watch, and Catherine Tyldesley is just the best. Hannah Meanwhile, some of…

“I first started watching EastEnders because of Lacey Turner. I wasn’t allowed to watch the show when I was younger – however, my drama teacher told me to study someone on TV who I aspired to be like from an acting perspective, so I told my mum I needed to watch Stacey Slater for homework! It would be a dream come true to work with Lacey more.” “On my first day, Louisa Lytton [Ruby] was the first person who checked I was okay. And Danielle [Harold, aka Lola] noticed I was cold and took me to the costume department to get a jacket. Then Danny Dyer [Mick] was on set during my first scene and put his arm around me and said, ‘You’re doing great’.” “Before Christmas I was filming…

“I would say my favourite place to film is Salon De Thé. There’s a fire in there so it smells good, and it’s toasty. Plus, there are often unexpected crossovers with other characters there.” “My favourite person to work with is Jessica Fox [who plays Nancy]. When I joined, we worked so closely together – she showed me the ropes and we developed a really great friendship. Jess is a total joy!” “My favourite character of all time is Patrick Blake – my screen dad. He was such a fantastic villain! I loved working with Jeremy Sheffield – I used to watch him in the Natalie Imbruglia music video days, and then I got to work with him!” “One storyline I think is great is the county lines one. It’s…

Claire King (Kim) has spoken out about her enforced break from the Dales. The actress has a compromised immune system, having been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in her 30s, so stayed at home with her partner. “I could have gone back earlier, but Emmerdale thought they’d better not risk it,” said Claire. Yet in spite of six months off, she hasn’t been idle. “I’ve done decorating, put floors down, all sorts,” continued Claire. “I’ve done all the cleaning, and I did the garden too!”…

As Landscape Artist Of The Year returns to Sky Arts, Kate Bryan, Tai Shan Schierenberg and Kathleen Soriano are back on judging duty – and Kate paints us a picture of her favourite TV treats… What’s the best thing about working on the Artist Of The Year series? The artists! They’re endlessly clever, original, brave and fascinating. I still can’t believe what they can achieve in one day. We like to watch people be creative. It’s daft that watching paint dry is so compelling, but it really is. What have you been most enjoying on TV recently? I loved Steve McQueen’s BBC series Small Axe. Also The Queen’s Gambit – I need a show to be stylish, so I can half-watch the sets and costumes the whole time. What are…

DOING TIME A first image from Jimmy McGovern’s new drama, Time, features Sean Bean as prisoner Mark Cobden – consumed with guilt after killing an innocent man – and Stephen Graham, playing prison officer Eric McNally. Also starring Siobhan Finneran and Sue Johnston, Time comes to BBC1 later this year.

It’s set to be frosty in Erinsborough, as Sheila discovers Clive and Jane are an item!

Melanie Pearson arrives, and is her usual no-filter self, not holding back on her opinions about Jane’s new romance! Will Clive and Jane be able to weather Sheila’s storm? Elsewhere, Dipi is keen to have her clan reunited for Christmas – including Kirsha.

How are things between Diane and Tony now? They’re still getting over Edward’s death – and Diane is seemingly dealing with it a lot better than Tony. Tony doesn’t want to talk about anything, but Diane puts her cards on the table and doesn’t want him to bottle it up. Unfortunately, Edward is still sort of living on through circumstance, and the family he’s left behind… What’s the biggest hurdle they’ll have to overcome? Regaining each other’s trust, and their intimacy after Diane slept with Tony’s dad! It’s just learning how to be with each other again, because it’s been so long. Can you tease a bit about what else is in store? There’s a new family dynamic with Verity. She’s not helping them move on, making sure they don’t…

Peter is on a mission to drink himself to death this week – just hours after doctors tell him that his liver function has not improved. “Peter feels that he doesn’t deserve any help!” The news is a devastating blow for Ken’s son after he returns from Scotland ready to turn his life around, having not touched a drop of booze. However, as the reality of Peter’s situation dawns, he reaches for the bottle again… “Peter was always heading this way,” sighs actor Chris Gascoyne, who plays him. “That said, Peter really felt as though he’d turned a corner while he was away. So to hear that there is no improvement in his liver function is really hard for him.” After receiving the news, Peter is ready to give up…

SHIRLEY We don’t fancy Gray’s chances if Shirl catches him out. He may have two murders under his belt, although we reckon that Shirley would finish him before Gray had time to react. WHITNEY Devoted Whit looks close to falling for Gray, but she’s seen abusers in action before. The last man to cross her ended up six feet under. Will Leo’s fate befall Gray too? BERNIE Now she’s working with Kheerat, Bernie might learn the truth about Chantelle’s final days. Could chess ace Bernadette stay a few moves ahead of her murderous brother-in-law?…

Twisted Katy is at the centre of an explosive showdown with Mick and Shirley this week – as she turns up in Walford demanding to know who has called the police on her! The devastating reality of Mick’s childhood abuse finally dawned on him at New Year, after his former care worker finally admitted that they had sex when he was just 12 years old. But has Mick – who is still working through his demons – gone so far as to report Katy? “The scales have fallen from Mick’s eyes where Katy is concerned, though the threats she made on the back of her admission hang over him,” says our Square spy. “Yet whether or not Mick made the call, Katy is losing her grip on this situation –…

Bella decides to wave goodbye to Summer Bay and join Nikau in New Zealand this week – but can they leave their families behind? After toing and froing about whether or not to leave Australia, Bella decides to take the plunge. However, Colby turns up to Bella’s farewell party, and is absolutely fuming with his sister for not telling him about leaving! Colby accuses Nikau of forcing Bella to go with him, and threatens to put a stop to it… Can Colby change Bella’s mind? Or will he have to lose his sister all over again?…

Plus, Cristiano asks Dearbhla to move into his flat… RIVER CITY ● Lenny is left stunned this week, when he faces the person behind his kidnap – can Lenny escape with his life?

STYLE MIX UP I think Ash Kaur has the best sense of style in EastEnders – it’s so effortless. And I really love the grey jacket she’s always wearing. Can you tell me where it’s from? Sash, London There’s no doubt this coat will keep you warm, so I’d get your hands on it now! It’s the Sweaty Betty Pioneer Quilted Jacket in silver, and is currently on sale on the Zalando website. SECRET SISTERS… I’ve been watching Classic Emmerdale, and have loved the early episodes – but can you please answer a question for me? Is the actor who plays Lyn Hutchinson in the classic show related to the actor who now plays Tracy? Vanessa Well spotted, Vanessa! It was Sally Walsh who played Lyn in Emmerdale from 1997…

It’s hard to believe that Corrie’s Imran Habeeb is the same bloke who once two-timed both Battersby sisters, and successfully fought to get innocent Sally Metcalfe banged up. In the past few months, Imran’s emerged as a Street hero, winning abuse victim Yasmeen’s freedom, representing grief-stricken Leanne and Steve, and becoming a foster parent with partner Toyah. It’s fair to say Imran’s moral glow-up has won him an army of fans, and he’s now one of the Street’s most popular characters. For actor Charlie De Melo, the viewer response has been heart-warming. “Imran and Toyah accentuate the best of each other” “I didn’t anticipate the big reaction I’d get from the Geoff and Yasmeen court case scenes,” he grins. “I knew it was good because of the way it was…

Gray claiming Tina as his second victim was the Christmas twist that no one saw coming. But for Luisa Bradshaw-White, who played her, it was the closure she needed to bid a final farewell to Walford… Hi, Luisa! What a dramatic way to leave EastEnders. How are you feeling about it? Aw, it’s a little bit bittersweet as Tina is a character I have invested a lot in, and a character I really love, so to see that end is quite sad. A soap is the only job where you don’t really know the ending, so after all those years, it’s a strange experience to play it out! How did you feel about being killed off? It’s weird filming the death of a character that you adore and have played…

Inside TV is happy to RuVeal that RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is back for a Ru series! The US drag queen megastar crowned The Vivienne the first-ever UK’s Next Drag Superstar in 2019 – and over the next 10 weeks, shiny new contestants go hairpiece to hairpiece to battle for this year’s title. Here, RuPaul and returning judges Michelle Visage, Graham Norton and Alan Carr reveal it’s good to be back… Hi, all! How does series two differ from series one? Alan People will always be nervous about a first series, but as we know, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK was amazing, and a real ratings winner, so I think for series two the queens have upped their game! Graham It’s bigger and better. There are more queens (12 after last…

Geoff may be dead, but his memory is to live on, as Yasmeen attempts to get back to normal after her horrific ordeal. But luckily, there’s safety in numbers, and fellow victim Elaine will be on hand to offer support… “Escaping your abuser leads people to say, ‘You’re free,’ but that’s not the case,” shares Iain. “We’ll see Geoff again a few times. The conspiracy theories on Twitter aren’t true – he’s not coming back from the dead for real – but we have some clever dramatic devices that will employ Ian Bartholomew’s talents… “However, Elaine will be pivotal to Yasmeen’s recovery,” he adds. “We’ll see a friendship that will be humorous in places…”…

Hi, Ellie! How did you feel when you learned that Faye was going to whack Adam? I had a meeting with our boss Iain MacLeod back in August. I don’t feel as though I’ve really had a big storyline since Faye’s pregnancy [in 2015], so I was so excited to get my teeth into a plot like this with twists and turns. How does Faye feel about Gary taking the rap for her over the assault? She feels genuinely guilty about mistaking Adam for Ray, and for bringing Gary into it. Faye feels as though she needs to come clean. Faye’s actions could be classed as attempted murder. Might this lead to her leaving the Street? I hope not! I think if she did go to the police and felt…

Lucas’ killer comeback stands to be one of the most thrilling plots of the year, as Denise reels from his reappearance – and Lucas struggles to contain his murderous rage! Actress Diane Parish, who plays Denise, tells us more… Happy New Year, Diane! How does it feel to revisit Denise’s past with Lucas? I am thrilled to have Don [Gilet, aka Lucas] back! I don’t know what goes through his mind when he’s in the role, but you see something change in him. It’s quietly terrifying, but very good! How is it working with Zaraah Abrahams, who has taken over as Chelsea? The minute I read with Zaraah, Chelsea came to life! She has slipped right into the family; Rudy [Rudolph Walker, aka Patrick] is already teasing her, and she…

While we’re feeling the January chill, things are heating up in Summer Bay, as Colby and Taylor’s steamy affair reaches boiling point! Little do they know that Angelo is covertly listening to every word – and he’s about to tell his wife that he knows all about her philandering… That’s not the only thing Colby has to worry about, however, as Angelo arrests him for Ross’ murder! A secret witness has come forward, and once the case goes to trial, jaws hit the floor when Willow takes the stand. How will Colby, Dean and Bella react to her betrayal? Across the Bay, Roo returns from her trip alone, prompting her loved ones to wonder where Owen is. Roo expertly avoids their probing, although later reveals to Marilyn that she accidentally…

It’s a difficult start to the year for the staff of Holby City’s ED, as they mourn the loss of one of their colleagues. Meanwhile, Faith wants answers from Lev about whether he’s cheated on her. Will he admit that he slept with a man? And if so, might there be a chance for Faith and Dylan? Elsewhere, Fenisha finds herself with a lot of questions, as Ethan discovers that she didn’t terminate her pregnancy! And will he in turn tell her about his Huntington’s? But when they both find themselves in deadly danger, he may not get the chance… Finally, romance is on the cards for Rash, while new paramedic Leon checks in – will he make a good first impression on boss Jan?…

The sobering reality of Peter’s addiction is that his next drink could kill him – and Coronation Street isn’t going to shy away from that. In fact, star Chris has set himself the ultimate challenge… “Chris is very keen to immerse himself in Peter’s physical deterioration this time, so we’re talking to doctors and nutritionists about how we can make that look visually realistic,” says cobbles boss Iain MacLeod, in addition to our Corrie New Year preview with him on p4. “We felt that we had to go right to the end with what will happen to Peter and his body, to take the story to as realistic a conclusion as possible…”…

John Paul and George’s story is set to be huge this year. Can you tease a bit about what’s coming up? George will start to isolate John Paul, and take him away from his friends and family, which I think is typical of abusive partners. He makes sure that John Paul answers to him, as opposed to it being a partnership, and the balance shifts quite a bit in the coming months. It will get nastier from New Year onwards… It must be hard for George to isolate John Paul from the rowdy McQueens… They’re a close family – but being a manipulator, George is adept at getting people onside. For the most part, the McQueens think that George is great! They don’t see what’s happening behind closed doors, they…

“I’m sad that Joe McGann’s character Edward has died in Hollyoaks. Perhaps Edward’s brother could come to avenge him, played by Paul McGann? And then his brother could come to avenge him…” …suggests reader Paul from Halifax “Given that Kush likes his women to be a right handful, how about pairing him up with his ex Denise’s sister, Kim? Or perhaps the threat of it is why he leaves Walford!” …says reader Sarah from London “Whatever happens with the Ray plot in Corrie, I hope it leaves Debbie Webster running the Bistro.” …requests reader Liam “In the new year, I would like to see ITV show some real love for, and investment in, Emmerdale. It’s looking and feeling very sparse at the moment, and getting by on the charisma of…

Connie and Jacob attempt to navigate their post-lockdown relationship this week – but is the spark still there between them? The pair have been through an awful lot since they had that steamy bunk-up on Connie’s office desk. Not only did Jacob suffer greatly as he battled Covid, but they’re both still struggling to get over the death of their colleague Noel from the virus… As Jacob makes it clear that he wants their romance to become more serious, Connie has trouble finding time for him while she tries to juggle the pressures of the ED with her staffing problems. However, Jacob is adamant that if they’re to make it work, they both need to be all in. So will Connie fully commit to Jacob this time around? Or will…

These days, you say the name ‘Joe Wicks’ and it immediately brings to mind the fleecy charms of the YouTube PE teacher; up at the crack to chivvy us into a fresh set of carpet burns as we burpee to the hits of Dua Lipa. Rewind a few years, however, and the same name would instead trigger misty-eyed reminiscences of, yes, an equally memorable haircut, but also a hat lined with tin foil and a dead cat mouldering under a bed. (Though we’re getting ahead of ourselves…) This Joe Wicks is the teenage son of our very own David, down in London from Bolton with an accent so gorgeously thick you could butter a barm cake with it. Poor Joe is grieving the death of his sister – recently killed…

“When I auditioned for EastEnders, I said to my Taekwondo instructor that I can really relate to Ash,” shares actress and martial-arts lover, Gurlaine Kaur Garcha, as she joins us for a new year catch-up. “She’s strong, kind, has her head screwed on and knows what she wants. Ash isn’t afraid to speak her mind, and I think that’s great!” We agree. The subtle girl power that Ash brings to Walford is so ace that we want to see more, especially if that involves giving her wicked mother, Suki, a run for her money! However, Ash might want to sort out her love life first, as this week she seems to be side-lining girlfriend Iqra for… Peter Beale! Gurlaine fills us in… Happy New Year, Gurlaine! How would you sum…

Corrie loves buried plot treasure, and the true story about Rana Habeeb’s death remains a secret. Imran was devastated by his sister’s death, and would surely be gunning for Gary if the truth about his culpability was ever revealed. Does Charlie want the full story to come out? “I’d love to play it – although I dread where that would end!” he admits. “It’s not the kind of revelation that comes without consequence. It’d end badly for one, if not both, of us.” But Charlie says he’s excited to have this piece of soap-plot gold in the bank. “It’s like a dangling thread,” he shares. “But if soap law is upheld, then it’s something I’d want to be delayed for some time. Certainly, Mikey North – who plays Gary –…

Two soap favourites revealed their real-life love when they enjoyed a night out in London last month – and seeing the pair look so happy in our pictures has certainly brightened us up in these troubled times! Emmerdale star Amy Walsh (aka Amy) posed on the red carpet up close and personal with the Square’s Toby-Alexander Smith (Gray) at the premier of A Christmas Carol, the West End show starring ex-EastEnder Jacqueline Jossa (Lauren Branning). The pair have reportedly been dating for while, but kept their romance a secret. Meanwhile, Amy wasn’t the only lady whose life Toby lit up that night. His former Walford cast mate Jessica Plummer (who played Gray’s ill-fated wife Chantelle) was delighted to reunite with her screen hubby. “Miss you!” Jessica posted alongside a picture…

In 2011, Welsh serial killer John Cooper was dealt a life sentence for his 1985 slaughter of siblings Richard and Helen Thomas, and couple Peter and Gwenda Dixon in 1989. Though both murder cases had been closed with no charges brought, Cooper was eventually captured after DCI Steve Wilkins reopened them in 2006. This chillingly fascinating three-part series airs across consecutive nights, and is adapted from Wilkins’ own book. In it, he revealed how, following painstaking reexamination of extensive forensic evidence, Cooper was ultimately – and bizarrely – apprehended for his crimes as a result of his appearance as a contestant on 80s game show Bullseye. The commendable DCI is played by Welsh star Luke Evans, who was proud to represent a man determined to uncover the truth, and secure…
