The only thing I love more than a soap wedding is a festive soap wedding – so imagine my delight when I saw some sneaky behind-the-scenes snaps of Corrie’s Debbie in her bridal gown, larking around in a golf-cart with pal Bernie as she races to wed her dashing fiancé Ronnie! Debbie’s one of my fave soap characters right now, so I’m thrilled to see that she has something fun in store this Christmas, even though she’s dealing with her dementia diagnosis. You can see the gorgeous pictures for yourself over on p12. For the Dales fans among you, this week brings another two standalone episodes, as we finally discover what’s happened to Bear in the 100 days since he disappeared from the village. And believe me when I tell…

When Nicola takes a worrying phone call about the events of this week, it interrupts a heart-to-heart between her and Honey. Honey has noticed that Nicola is in a strange mood, and although she realises that Nicola has had a lot of family drama of late, Honey senses there’s something more going on. However, just after Nicola confesses the truth, she has to rush off before the pair can discuss things properly. What secret has Nicola unloaded to Honey?…

That’s exactly the question Tim faced when he found out that Steve’s wife Tracy was having an affair with their hero Tommy Orpington. When Tim chose to skip Steve’s birthday party to go to Tommy’s bust unveiling, it caused serious beef between the besties. DENZEL & NUGGET After Denzel started taking…

Soon, she steps up her investigations into Nicola, more determined than ever to bring her love rival down a peg or two. Meanwhile, Nicola continues to get her hands on her comatosed husband’s cash, but things hit a stumbling block when Donald, who is never supposed to wake up, starts waking up… Elsewhere, Pollard proposes to Val to prove that he can be romantic, totally convinced that she’ll say no. So, the wind is taken out of his sails when Val replies with a big…

When we sit down for a chat with actor Todd Boyce – aka Corrie serial killer Stephen Reid – ahead of his brand-new stage role, he confesses that pretending to murder people is a tiring job! So when he was offered the role of kind-hearted Duane in new stage play Possum Trot, it was a relief… “It’s nice not to be murdering people!” laughs Todd. “The story takes place in a diner in Nebraska, and I play a widower. I’m playing this chap who has had a successful business and is ready to embrace the rest of his life.” Despite his new role being a million miles away from his cobbles counterpart, Todd remembers vividly when he was invited back to Corrie, and how he felt when he learned he…

Best-selling cookbook author Coinneach MacLeod, aka the Hebridean Baker, makes his TV presenting debut in a new culinary travel series. The four-parter (also available in a Gaelic-language edition) sees Lewis-born Coinneach swap the Scottish islands for a Nordic foodie voyage across four of Europe’s most stunning islands. But as he tells Inside TV, there are similarities to be found… “We’ve always shared a connection through the sea, our stories and our food,” shares Coinneach. “I even studied Old Icelandic, so to travel to these islands felt a bit like tracing my own roots: discovering how much we still have in common, and how those old ties live on.” Filmed across four islands, the series follows Coinneach in his signature Fair Isle sweaters as he uncovers the secrets of Denmark’s world-famous…

DOBB-ING IN Deirdre was keen to forget about being framed for fraud by a tie salesman, then ex-cellmate Jackie got parole and came to Coronation Street needing her help. She brought teenage son Tyrone with her, who wasn’t actually her son – but that’s another story. TEENAGE KICKS Gerry thought he’d lucked out when he befriended posh Lachlan in young offenders, who took him in at Emmerdale’s swish residence Home Farm when they got out. Unfortunately, Lachlan turned out to be a psychopath who murdered his mate. TROUBLE AND STRIFE Eve was released from Walford nick and headed straight for Albert Square to see her wife, Stacey – which was news to Stace’s family who had no idea she’d got spliced on the inside! Hard relate from Robert’s loved ones.…

Laura-Jayne snoops behind the soap headlines… Here’s your first look at Debbie’s gorgeous and joyful Christmas wedding, as the Street legend aces her promise to live life to the full. The cast of Corrie were recently snapped filming the big day on location, and while the bride may be in the first stages of her battle with early-onset dementia, the wedding to fiancé Ronnie will be no Debbie downer! “For Debbie, she’s enjoying life, she’s living life and she’s making the most of it,” promises Corrie producer Kate Brooks. “The wedding is very Debbie in its execution. It smacks of her being so lovable and a bit out there. And no, it’s not being held at the Chariot Square hotel!” Indeed, the cast assembled at a posh country venue to…

Street newcomer Aurora Bradshaw has certainly impressed viewers with her spirited portrayal of Eva’s plucky daughter, Susie, but it’s hardly surprising – as talent seems to run in the young star’s family! Aurora’s big brother, Bobby, is already a regular on Corrie playing Gary and Izzy’s son, Jake Windass, who we most recently saw caught up in the debacle over Hope’s trolling. And the proud sibling, who arrived on the soap back in 2018, is clearly delighted to have his sister joining him to act on one of the nation’s biggest soap operas. “The news is finally out!” grins Bobby. “Congratulations to my little sister Aurora.” The eight-year-old’s proud family even threw a bash for her debut on the soap, complete with a Corrie cake and themed decorations. “Aurora’s watch…

As Junior prepares to leave Walford, Cindy makes her return this week, having been away for a while visiting her sister Gina. New pictures show Junior and Cindy approaching each other outside the Tube station, sharing a warm embrace and a knowing smile. The pair’s sordid affair sent shockwaves around the community last year, leading to a sensational Christmas Day reveal and an intriguing, shovel-themed whodunnit. But what do these ex-lovers have to say to each other now, and is this their final interaction before Junior says goodbye? Turn to page 46 for our chat with Michelle Collins about what’s next for Cindy……

Dire times for Dodger! The aftermath of Hollyoaks Later has had me hooked – Dodger’s story especially. Long gone are the days he was just used for totty. Danny Mac is a brill actor and although it’s dark, I can’t wait for what’s next. The moment he broke down and confided in Cleo was heart-wrenching. Amira, Manchester MATE OF THE YEAR Can we give Emmerdale’s Mack a special award for Best Mate of the Year? Not only did he get locked in a bunker trying to expose evil John, now he’s going up against psycho Kev all to make his bestie happy – what a guy! He might be playing cupid for Aaron, but he probably has a death wish at this point. I don’t think he realised quite what…

When we catch up with Ryan Hawley ahead of Robert’s special prison-centred episode (see p8), he’s right in the middle of filming Christmas – and it’s all deliciously secretive! But before we skip ahead to a Robron festive season, there’s some big revelations this week that might just bring them closer. After almost six years banged up, Robert returned a traumatised man. Then, the arrival of his secret husband, ruthless gangster Kev, put an end to Robert’s plans to reunite with true love Aaron! However, as another bombshell sends Robert reeling, he confides in Aaron and sister Victoria about what he experienced inside. Star Ryan exclusively teases big revelations and drama for his character taking us right into the new year… Hi Ryan! It must be a real honour to…

It’s no secret that Isabelle is off-screen besties with fellow soap star Sydney Martin (aka Betsy in Corrie), after they attended drama school together. But did you know Sydney also auditioned for the role of Frankie? “Sydney went up for Frankie as well,” reveals Isabelle. “When she didn’t get it, she was like, ‘It wasn’t right. Nothing’s right!’ and I said, ‘Everything happens for a reason, something’s coming, just keep going with it’. Then she got the part of Betsy – and look at her, she’s just flying!”…

There was a time where serial killer Stephen Reid dominated the pages of Inside Soap, and Todd remembers it well! Our readers soon proved they couldn’t get enough of this unhinged madman when they voted him their Best Villain at our awards in 2023. Much to Todd’s delight, this win and the success of Stephen has led to him being in demand… “I love my Inside Soap Best Villain Award so much. I cherish it!” the star grins, pointing at it on his shelf. “I always got such a kick out of pushing my trolley around the supermarket and seeing I’m on the cover of Inside Soap! I’d always buy three copies and send one to my mum. “Playing a villain has an enduring impact,” he adds. “I’m so grateful…

Consumed by alcohol addiction, Gina is often unable to care for herself, leaving Cushla to pick up the pieces. And as Gillian reveals to us, it makes for highly emotional scenes between the struggling mother and daughter… “Gina is either drunk or dealing with a hangover throughout, so she’s pretty ragged,” says the actress. “Then in the final episode, partway through, she cleans up and starts taking care of herself, and you see her being able to show up for herself as well as Cushla. It is quite touching and shows that somewhere in there, there was a strong, capable and gentle mother. “There are moments where she tries to be a good mother, but for the majority of the series, she can’t because of the drink. Cushla is very…

Kicking off 5’s reboot of the Play for Today format is Never Too Late: a one-off drama that stars Anita Dobson as defiant widow Cynthia, who takes pleasure in breaking the rules at her retirement village.

Soon, their reunion leads the pair to look back on their shared past, before huge secrets come to the surface. “Cynthia knows her own mind – or at least she thinks she does – but inside she’s a mess!” explains Anita. “She has the shock of meeting Frank again, the love of her life, in the most extraordinary of places. It shocks her to the core and she really doesn’t quite know how…

BULLSEYE! If His Majesty needs help with the New Year’s Honour’s List, we hereby nominate Hollyoaks icon Gemma Bissix for her services to drama, forth with. Deranged Jez may have been flying the jet that caused the show’s 30th anniversary to explode, but Clare Devine was piloting the drama long before the plane took off, landing her recent exit just perfectly. Until next time! Celia finally taking off her Barbour coat will go down in soap history books beside Kevin Webster shaving off his tash and Plain Jane Super-Brain’s makeover. This feisty Emmerdale DS is enjoying a lot of screen time. Fast-forward to her role in Corriedale as Lisa Swain’s Hotten police contact! If we had £3K in our bag and a drug baron on our backs, we’d hail a…

Shona and David – heck, the whole Platt family! – are no strangers to a hard time, with this plot being one of the many heart-wrenching storylines that the couple have come up against in recent years. But Corrie fans will be pleased to hear that Julia always manages to have fun with her co-star, Jack P Shepherd (David). “It’s been nine years for Shona and David!” the actress beams. “We do lots of hard-hitting storylines, and a good way to get through them is to switch off and have some sort of humour, because when things are that dark, it can be quite upsetting to be in it all the time. “And working with Jack is easy-peasy,” she grins. “We’ve got a shorthand. We know when the time is…

Corrie’s Jodie Prenger has revealed that Glenda is set to uncover a big secret this festive season on the Street. “I’m allowed to say that Christmas is very dramatic!” shares Jodie, talking exclusively to us on Soap Scoop, the Inside Soap podcast. “Glenda notices something – Glenda’s a clocker, she derives her wisdom from that. And what she sees is quite shocking. It’s going to be a big Christmas across the board for the Street.” However, it won’t all be soapie twists and turns… “We’ve filmed some lovely scenes in the Rovers,” continues Jodie. “It’ll be filled with a lot of joy and fun. That’s the great thing that Corrie does.” And while Glenda may have been on the end of a pass from heartbroken Kevin Webster recently, the actress…

Full support Hollyoaks’ Danny Mac admits the reaction to the recent plot which saw Dodger raped by gangster Griff has been overwhelming. “Honestly, I wasn’t quite braced for the impact it’s had,” he explains. Pub crawl! Northern Irish viewers were seeing double when Aaron McClusker joined Corrie as Rovers landlord Ben. On the same night, cop drama Hope Street returned for a new series where Aaron plays another local publican called Clint Devine-Dunwoody! Famous fan! Legendary Hollywood filmmaker Tim Burton is a big fan of EastEnders icon Steve McFadden, says comedian Matt Lucas. “I worked with Tim and he was really rhapsodising about Steve,” shares Matt.…

The exact details of Bear’s storyline are being kept under wraps, but Emmerdale has confirmed it explores the issue of modern slavery and exploitation of vulnerable adults. What if Bear is unable to return to his family, even if he wanted to? “Bear will be going through the emotional wringer,” says Joshua Richards, who plays him. “As he gets older, Bear feels he has less of a role to play in society. And after clashing with Paddy and the family, he also feels he shouldn’t be with them and there’s nowhere he belongs…”…

Ross continues to play mind games with Charity this week, as he gets closer to Mack – and plants the seed that he’s going to reveal their saucy bunk-up! After Ross and Charity slept together, Ross has been doing everything in his power to cause Charity grief – and this week is no different, as he continues to taunt his ex by hanging around with her husband… “Mack is just a pawn in Ross’ manipulation!” splutters our Emmerdale insider. “Although Ross doesn’t know that Charity’s baby is his, he can still lord the fact that he and Charity slept together over her – and what better way to panic her than to cosy up to Mack? With all the secrets that Charity keeps, it’s no wonder this is getting under her…

Vicki continues to struggle in the aftermath of Joel’s attack this week. But as she tries to put the ordeal behind her, she finds out more secrets about the teen that leave her reeling… “Joel may have been carted off by the cops, but his actions still haunt Vicki,” reveals our Square spy. “She’s desperate to move on, but she takes a backward step, and needs all the support she can get.” Tommy is also struggling, having been complicit in his former friend’s crimes. Tommy was corrupted by Joel’s misogynistic views, and even though he’s seen the error of his ways, the lad is still dealing with the consequences. As Nugget and Denzel taunt sheepish Tommy, Vicki comes to the defence of Kat’s remorseful son, acknowledging they were both victims…

Well, the Driscolls have hit the ground running, haven’t they? No messing, they arrived and made themselves known. I’m so happy Eva’s back – she’s one of my favourite characters and it’s lovely to see little Susie all grown up at last. Cute! Romana, Dartford I’ve been enjoying the Glenda era of The Rovers, but it did feel it had lost its magic and sparkle – until now! The lock-in was perfect community spirit in action and really made me wish I could pop in for a pint, and maybe even pick a fight with Leanne. Great fun, bring it on! Billy, Hull I wasn’t expecting Ollie to be Ben’s son, just how old are they? But so far, so good. The Driscolls seem promising and it’s nice to have…

ENERGY “I’ve really enjoyed my time working with Chris Coghill [Kev]. He’s a brilliant character and actor. He’s got a good energy! He’s very different to everyone else. I feel lucky to have worked with him.” CHRISTMAS IN THE VILLAGE “I was filming in the village yesterday, which looks absolutely beautiful for Christmas. The sunsets and the sun rises we get here, the colours are absolutely stunning.” HIGH STAKES “It’s not a very easy time for Aaron and Robert this December. The events leading up to Christmas and New Year into the Corriedale special are very high stakes!” THREAT! “Robert’s state of mind around Christmas is panic, very anxious. There’s a threat to life this Christmas…”…

We may have been seeing Raphael treading the wards of the Emergency Department in Casualty rather than propping up the bar of the Rovers. “I got quite close to Casualty right before Corrie,” reveals the star, who’s had roles in Doctors and The Marlow Murder Club. “I went on set to audition and everything, but I didn’t get it.” Luckily, his screen-test for Corrie did see him hit the jackpot. “Beforehand, I went and sat by the water to have a last look at my lines,” he admits. “Then I did the scene in the Rovers with Channique. I was a bit nervous about the whole thing. But in the end, it was really nice.”…
