welcome!

“We’ve made Inside Soap Awards history!” Oh, what a night, as they say. Yes, the Inside Soap Awards are over for another year, and what a year it was. Not only did we make Inside Soap Awards history by crowning Hollyoaks as Best Soap, but we worked tirelessly all night to bring you all the gossip we could muster. However, it’s been a busy week at Inside Soap Towers for more than one reason. There’s a killer week of soap coming your way, so we pulled out all the stops to bring you all the drama, as well as interviews with the stars and behind-the-scenes secrets, which have left this bumper super-sized issue bursting at the seams with soapie loveliness. We hope you enjoy it. See you next week! Steven Murphy, Editor editor@insidesoap.co.uk…

sinead’s tragic final hours

Sinead’s tragic story reaches its end this week, as the young mum dies in the arms of her beloved husband, Daniel. However, the days leading up to her death turn out to be far from peaceful, after Daniel shares a charged moment with Bethany… “Sinead doesn’t like the fact that Daniel is trying to control her!” Devastated by the terminal cancer diagnosis, the newlyweds have been trying hard to be strong, but it’s all got too much for desperately ill Sinead and distraught Daniel. As their families rally round to give Sinead a surprise early Christmas, Daniel is furious, insisting she’s far too poorly to cope with it. And when Sinead tells him this is exactly what she wants, a row breaks out that pushes her and Daniel apart at the time…

“i don’t think i’ve ever cried so much in my life!”

Hi, Katie – we can’t believe Sinead is gone. How tough will this be for viewers who have followed her story? Oh, I think it’s going to be really hard to watch. We found it very difficult to film, and I’ve felt like I’ve had to grieve a little bit for her. For that reason, I think it’s important for people to know what’s going to happen with Sinead, so that they can decide whether they want to watch it or not. You spoke to someone whose wife has a very similar story to Sinead – was that helpful? I spoke with Pete from the charity Mummy’s Star, and asked him how it was for him towards the end. He was very honest with me about his relationship with his wife towards the…

a gail blows in!

Three months have passed since Gail stepped nervously through a departure gate at Manchester Airport, ready to board a flight to Bangkok. “The first day of the rest of my life!” she called it. And we can’t say we blame her for leaving, given the misery that sons Nick and David have inflicted upon her. We feared this might be the last we’d ever see of our beloved Gail – after all, how can the drizzly cobbles of Weatherfield compare with the beaches of Koh Samui? But this week, Gail flies home – with an awesome new hairdo and a positive mental attitude. Here at Inside Soap, we’ve put our heads together to decide on the top five storylines we’d like for Gail’s return to the Street… 1 YOU GOTTA WORK! Gail needs a…
