Inside Soap UKの 39 - 2022 の目次

Ah, the autumn! “Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,” mused the poet Keats. “When eager Moon is set on Linda’s trail/ October storms assail poor Emmerdale.” (Okay, I may have made some of that up, but I’m sure Keats would have written some knockout material for Inside Soap if only he’d had the chance.) “Ten storylines, and every one a corker” While the Summer Preview, Christmas Preview and New Year Preview have been annual fixtures of our pages for some 30 years now, we’ve always struggled with ‘autumn’, as it’s such an undramatic word. But that changes this week, as we unveil our Awesome Autumn Preview! (Which we’re definitely going to make a regular thing.) Ten big autumn storylines, and every one a conker! I mean corker. Though again, I…

Kheerat’s focus is very firmly on his family this week – but could he find himself in trouble when he neglects his relationship with Stacey? It’s while he’s on a date with his girlfriend that Kheerat first gets distracted with his theory that Ranveer has disappeared. He even ditches their time together to question Ranveer’s fiancé, Nina, about his whereabouts! Kheerat later returns and apologises to Stacey for missing their date, but it’s clear she’s unimpressed by his behaviour. We’ve already seen Ravi sniffing around Stacey, trying to flirt with her at every opportunity… So is Kheerat in danger of losing his girlfriend to his rival if he doesn’t pay her more attention?…

SPECIAL PREVIEW INSIDE Gossip EASTENDERS 1 For the love of Linda! We all know that Mick and Linda are made for each other, and only Janine’s scheming is keeping them apart. But as Mick’s exit looms, talk of Linda turning to another man could see the Carters slip away from each other for good. “Alfie and Linda is all I’m going to say!” teases Shane Richie, who plays the Walford returnee. “But is Alfie using Linda to get to Kat?” EMMERDALE 2 TWISTER! Emmerdale is celebrating its 50th anniversary by whipping up a storm – quite literally! “The whole storm takes place in one day across three to four episodes,” reveals Dales boss Jane Hudson. “It’s all in the daytime, and very much a windstorm. It’s quite unprecedented in…

More than three years after the Baileys moved to Coronation Street, the family are finally joined by prodigal daughter Dee Dee, who arrives this week. Aggie and Ed’s high-flying third child jets in from the States, but there’s barely time for her to catch up with her clan as she’s quickly caught up in a whirlwind of drama – welcome to the cobbles! “Dee Dee has a big personality and is really hard-working, though I describe her as ‘organised chaos’!” says Corrie’s Channique Sterling-Brown, who plays the newcomer. “She’s a successful lawyer, a young, professional woman who knows what she’s doing. I can definitely say she will bring a lot of fun to the Street!” “Dee Dee is a force to be reckoned with!” The glamorous legal eagle’s first task…

Holding a secret of this magnitude is a lot for a young girl to cope with. And the deeper Mick and Janine become involved, the more explosive the information Scarlett possesses becomes. This week, we see Mick planning to take Janine to meet his other kids, a meeting which will bond the pair further into the Carter family. But will Scarlett find herself turning back to her own family as she struggles over what to do? Scarlett’s uncle Ricky is due back on the scene later this year, and Walford bosses have confirmed that his return “plays into Janine’s story”. Will it be Scarlett’s cry for help that lures Ricky back to the Square?…

BBC1 WEDNESDAY Charming Freddie Slater’s campaign to keep his ‘dad’ Billy out of prison gets off to a flying start this week. But sadly, he’s about to come crashing down to earth after Phil drops a bombshell… “Bless Freddie, he’s such a good kid,” notes our Walford spy. “He wants to fight Billy’s cause and help pay his legal fees, hoping a good solicitor could win Billy his freedom. So, when Freddie’s offered a trial shift at the chippy, he’s dashing to that deep-fat fryer quicker than you can say ‘cod and chips twice’!” Freddie is a big hit at the chippy, and he’s delighted when he is offered a full-time job by Bobby. As Freddie tells Billy and Honey the news, they can’t help but be swept up in…

“How those boys cracked my phone and found Alfie’s number I have no idea. I only have it saved for emergencies. And he was down under ‘A-hole’.” Short for ‘A wholly lovely man’, we imagine. “A wise person once said: ‘The cobbler’s cousin is always the worst shod.’ Winston Churchill was it? Or Geri Halliwell? One of the greats.” Easily confused – both looked great in a Union Jack minidress. “Never get involved with a Scotch egg. Look at the state of it; all brown and full of promise, then you take one bite of it and it’s a mouthful of disappointment. There’s a metaphor there.” “What for? Having sex with Janine?” We’ll take our chances with the Scotch egg. “Mate, are they your ‘Sorry I Slept With Someone Else’…

M atty struggles to let go of the past this week, as he remembers his late sister, Holly. On the sixth anniversary of Holly’s passing, the villagers gather to remember her – including Suzy, who gave the girl money for the drugs that led to her fatal overdose. While Moira seems prepared to forgive remorseful Suzy for her part in her daughter’s death, Matty isn’t as merciful, and resents her presence. Can he and Suzy ever make amends, or will he always blame her for his sibling’s tragic fate?…

Roy and Hayley’s idea to go on the run with a child over which they have no legal guardianship unsurprisingly goes awry this week. Hayley’s friend Ruth, who was sheltering them, realises that the pair’s plan is bonkers, so pulls the plug by ringing the police. As the couple find themselves in court, Hayley is adamant they were keeping Wayne safe from his abusive dad, Alex. The judge agrees to release them on bail on the condition the pair stay away from Wayne, but Hayley refuses to comply. She finds herself in the slammer and it all goes a bit Bad Girls as the inmates make her life hell. Elsewhere, it’s from the big house to the little house, as Jack and Vera go to the shack they inherited on…

I always knew Alfie would come back to Albert Square – he’s never been able to stay away! It was good drama for us, but poor Kat having her ex-husband turn up on the day of her wedding. What bad timing! | Cecil It was disappointing that Kat and Phil never made it down the aisle. It would have been a day that went down in Walford history! I suppose we’ll just have to wait until they reschedule it – don’t make us wait too long! | Lauren, Middlesex When Alfie was in EastEnders before, I absolutely loved him. But since he had baby Cherry with Hayley Slater, I haven’t been able to get past the betrayal. His character suddenly changed from sweet buffoon to cheater. I really wish they…

Moira is still reeling this week, after terminally ill Faith’s confession that she plans to take her own life when she decides the time is right. Faith has also asked Moira if she would assist in her wishes, a request which has left Moira seriously conflicted. This week, as it becomes clearer than ever that Faith’s health is deteriorating rapidly, can she persuade her daughter-in-law to be there at the end? “Faith has always been insistent that she doesn’t want this cancer to control her life,” our Dales insider reminds us. “She stopped treatment when she was told she was never going to get better, and made the decision to enjoy what was left of her life in her own way, while she still could. Faith’s managed to make peace…

She may be playing a hotshot solicitor, but Channique reveals she unintentionally committed a crime during her audition for the role of Dee Dee! “I was given a prop phone to use in a scene with the rest of the Baileys at my final screen test,” she recalls with a grin. “I put it in my pocket and in all the chaos I took it when I left! I didn’t realise until I was driving home, so I turned back and pulled up at the studio’s reception. I bumped into Ryan [Russell, who plays Michael] and I told him I’d just stolen from the Corrie set! “We had a lovely chat and Ryan was super-encouraging, so even though I didn’t know if I’d got the part, I left that day…

Bride Kim Tate faces heartbreak and humiliation as her big day draws near – and groom Will considers calling off their wedding! He’s devastated by the family rift that’s destroyed their happy set-up at Home Farm, and lays the blame at Kim’s door. It was her decision to throw his daughter Dawn and Billy out following a row over Kim’s granddaughter Millie and their foster daughter Clemmie. Now Dawn is barely speaking to Will and refuses to attend the wedding – leaving him wondering if he should call the whole thing off. “This is every bride’s nightmare – Kim’s groom doesn’t just have cold feet, Will’s are frozen solid!” whispers our Home Farm insider. “All he can see is a lifetime of aggravation and the real chance he’ll lose his…

FAIR CITY Dearbhla decides not to pursue any allegations against Cian this week, after his mother threatens to dig up dirt… Meanwhile, Rafferty embarrasses James when he gate-crashes the tech event! And Erica has separation anxiety the first time she leaves baby Nora. RIVER CITY Roisin accuses Tommy of bringing drugs into the garage. But when the truth emerges, there’s a surprise! Elsewhere, Madonna feels snubbed at the Star of Shieldinch awards. Plus, Amber rejects Maggie’s request to return to work at the cab office… THE ARCHERS It’s all go at Brookfield as Ben is stunned by an unexpected offer from Vince this week – but will he be in a position to accept it? Meanwhile, the past returns to haunt Clarrie as surprising revelations emerge… Finally, George proves he’s…

Trevor’s hissed promise of how ‘it’s all gannae be different this time, Mo’ prove to be unfounded this week. Which comes as a surprise to no one apart from Mo herself. After Kat detects a Scottish whisper, she overhears Trev quietly on the phone to his one-time mistress Donna, who she realises is about to have his baby. Kat’s in a quandary over whether to tell Mo; but this is Kat, so she only manages to keep her mouth shut for about 26 seconds. Mo later answers Trevor’s phone and, discovering where Donna is, decides to take the bull by the horns. But that’s not all she might soon be wrestling with. The moment that Mo arrives, mum-to-be Donna goes into labour! Another scorned wife this week is Mel. Furious…

WHO AM I? This is a random question, but in Corrie I saw a credit for Renny Krupinski as fight arranger. But isn’t he an actor, too? | Aimee, Liverpool You’re right! Renny is an actor and played a police officer in Emmerdale, who helped save Kim, Rhona and Vanessa from Pierce. He also played private detective Harry Pringle in Corrie, as well as gangster Sizzler in Brookside! WIVES PAST AND PRESENT In EastEnders, Mitch asked Phil how many times he’d been wed – and the list included Shirley! But I don’t remember them getting married… | Hilary They never did! Phil and Shirley almost tied the knot in 2011 – but during the vows, Shirley had a change of heart, which came after discovering Phil’s affair with…

"Sandra is the one person Liv can’t see through – it’s so frustrating!” says Isobel Steele, echoing Emmerdale fans’ fears for her alter ego, Liv, as her manipulative mum tries to destroy her daughter’s life. Sly Sandra is secretly plotting to get her hands on Liv’s life savings, and has also caused problems in her marriage to Vinny in a bid to isolate her offspring. The mean mum’s plan ramps up this week when she convinces Liv to sell up and move to Spain, triggering a vicious row with Vinny – then pushes the recovering alcoholic back to the booze! Will Liv see her poisonous parent’s true colours before she causes her to lose everything? Hi, Isobel! Are you enjoying having Liv’s mum in the village? It’s nice to dip…

It was back in March when we last saw Tiffany in Walford – walking out of Albert Square arm-in-arm with her husband Keegan, ready to embark on their new life together. Having officially left the show in December, star Maisie Smith returned for this cameo appearance to give her character the happy ending she deserved. Six months on, 21-year-old Maisie is ready for a fresh challenge and is poised to make her stage musical debut in a new production of Strictly Ballroom, adapted from the hit movie. “I don’t even want to talk about opening night yet, I’m not ready!” exclaims Maisie, as she chats to us during a break from rehearsals. “I’m so used to EastEnders – where you get another go if you get a scene wrong –…

As First Dates Hotel continues to serve up singletons a potential romantic partner this week, the show’s star bartender Merlin Griffiths tells us his top TV… What’s been your favourite drama that you’ve watched recently? The utterly splendid The Sandman on Netflix. I’ve read all the original material by Neil Gaiman and it’s been translated so well to the screen. And which comedy have you most enjoyed lately? Justin Spitzer’s slice of American life Superstore is very funny. I’ve always enjoyed our transatlantic sharing of humour: Michael Scott – Steve Carell’s version of David Brent in The Office – is a perfect example. And Space Force, another Steve Carell comedy, was superb, too. I feel bad not naming a British comedy, though – sorry about that! Any other shows that…

BAR WARS! THE GIRLS BATTLE IT OUT AT THE ROVERS… YOUR NEXT ISSUE ON SALE TUESDAY 27 SEPT New barmaid Glenda has been a big hit with the locals in the pub. So when Jenny is too poorly to host the Rovers quiz night, Glenda’s background in showbiz seems to make her the perfect stand-in. But when Jenny later rallies, Glenda is clearly left disappointed to miss out on her place in the spotlight. As events then take a terrible turn, Jenny and Daisy are left suspicious about just how far Glenda will go to make sure she is top of the bill… EASTENDERS Sam slammed! Sam’s dodgy dealings at Peggy’s could come back to haunt her. Under pressure from someone, Sam decides to call their bluff – but a…

Traumatised Suki finally breaks down this week, and reveals to Eve that sleazy Ranveer tried to sexually assault her! Eve is alarmed when she finds her friend wandering through Albert Square in the early hours in her nightdress, dishevelled and distressed. Eve rushes Suki to the doctor’s surgery, where Ash and Nina give her the once-over. But it’s not until later, when she and Eve are alone, that Suki reveals the shocking truth… “Eve can tell that there’s something terribly wrong with Suki, but she’s not expecting this,” reveals our Walford insider. “Eve’s heart breaks for Suki when she recounts the traumatic moment that Ranveer tried to force himself on her; and suddenly, Suki’s recent strange behaviour makes complete sense. But will Suki stop the story there – or reveal…

Scarlett is on the verge of blowing Janine’s biggest secret this week – as she finds damning evidence to prove that her mum framed Linda! Janine is especially busy, plotting to keep Linda out of Mick’s life, as well as coming to terms with the repercussions of her pregnancy news. So her daughter is feeling rather left out in the cold. But Janine had better be careful as her girl grows closer to Linda… “Janine has just about managed to get away with her scheming so far,” notes our Walford spy. “But let’s not forget the absolute bombshell that Scarlett has in her armoury – she knows that Janine was driving the car the day Linda crashed! “Janine managed to keep Scarlett silent when she found out, reminding her that…

FRANK TATE His family thought she was a gold digger, and Frank began to despise his scheming missus. But Kim ended up being the death of Frank when her appearance from beyond the grave caused him to have a heart attack – and die while she watched on. STEVE MARCHANT This scheming couple came unstuck when a plot to dig them out of financial ruin was rumbled. Kim tried to frame Steve for the whole thing, and he retaliated; but she escaped the law via helicopter while he went down for years. GRAHAM FOSTER Nobody knew Kim and Graham were married until she publicly revealed the truth to destroy his happiness with his new love Rhona. Weeks later, Graham was murdered – and Kim was the prime suspect! She wasn’t…

C has and Al’s latest dangerous liaison is hijacked this week, when his girlfriend Kerry arrives and demands all of his attention! With her mum Faith busy organising a day of fun (see p10), Chas is delighted to receive a text from Al arranging their next hook up. However, her hopes of having him all to herself are soon dashed… “Kerry’s upset following her run-in with Noah and Amelia, and turns to Al to cheer her up,” reveals our Dales spy. “She rocks up wanting some sympathy, yet she’s totally oblivious to the sizzling sexual chemistry between her boyfriend and Chas! Poor Chas is left hanging as Al is forced to turn his attention to Kerry instead.” Chas’ mood only gets worse once Paddy heads off to work, leaving her…

ROYAL GOODBYES The extra scene with Linda, Kathy and Denise talking about the Queen’s sad passing was so moving to watch. Well done to those three stellar actresses and EastEnders for capturing the nation’s current mood – and for giving thanks to the late Queen Elizabeth. | Manisa DOUBLE LIFE… It appears that no one can be trusted on Corrie – not even Spider, who was on the show for years. I knew he had a secret, but he really doesn’t seem the type to join the police force, let alone go undercover and deceive Toyah. Surely he wouldn’t be allowed to go on a job back home where everyone knows him? | Freda, Hartlepool We can’t imagine anyone will be pleased when they find out… LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER…

GIRL GANG ASSEMBLE At times like these, a lady needs her besties. We want to see Rita, Daisy and Gemma rallying around with buckets of prosecco and ice cream to take Jenny’s mind off things. He might be pretty, but Leo is no match for Jenny’s girl gang when it comes to bringing the lolz. A GRATITUDE JOURNAL Heartache makes you forget just how lucky you are. If Jenny starts a gratitude journal, she can fill it full of things like, ‘I’m grateful my killer dad didn’t murder me’, or maybe ‘I’m grateful my fit toyboy left me so I could hook up with a conman in a cheap suit’. You know, good stuff. A SHOPPING SPREE It might sound shallow, but a bit of retail therapy could be just…

They may have clashed numerous times, but Isobel reckons Liv and mouthy mother-in-law Mandy aren’t that different after all… “Mandy thinks Liv has taken her son away from her so is always going to be protective of him,” she sighs. “She finds Liv a bit selfish, whereas Liv thinks Mandy is irritating! It’s a rocky relationship but they both love Vinny and want the best for him. Ultimately, they have the same agenda. “We never play it as though they completely hate each other,” she continues. “We throw in some looks between us. It’s all based on love for Vinny at the end of the day, and when they get on, it’s great. Though Mandy does tend to stir the pot whenever she can, doesn’t she? It’s always interesting with…

After seeing Tiffany Butcher grow up in Walford, it may be a little strange to witness Maisie playing another character. But she reassures us that amateur dancer Fran is the perfect role for her, and she has one man in particular to thank for it. “When I was on tour, we’d be messing around backstage dancing and singing, and Craig Revel Horwood went: ‘You could play Fran’,” she recalls. “I had no idea what he was talking about! So I went and watched the film and thought, ‘Wow!’ “Fran’s a beginner just like me, we’ve both been ballroom dancing for about two years so we’re similar in that way,” continues Maisie. “But Fran’s different as she wants to break boundaries – it’s the perfect role for me. “Whenever I watch…

Cult 90s show Fantasy Football League gets a revamp as new hosts Matt Lucas and Elis James take to the soccer sofa. Across the 16-part series – eight pre- and eight post-World Cup – a pair of celebrity guest managers will join the duo to chat all things football, kicking off with Man City fan Sally Lindsay and Liverpool supporter Russell Howard on the opening episode. We had a chat with Matt and Elis to find out more… Hi, both! Why is now the time for Fantasy Football League to come back? Matt Football’s changed so much since the show was first on. If you look at the evolution of the Premier League, and the relationship fans have with players, what with social media now… Elis Yeah, when I was…

BULLSEYE! We’re not sure what Kim was most upset about – the fact that her son faked his death because he hates her, or that he succeeded in royally pulling the wool over her eyes. Psych! Either way, Claire King’s primal scream – reminiscent of a wounded lioness grieving for a lost cub – sent shivers down our spine. And this is before Emmerdale lets her loose on the 50th anniversary! Home Farm – ancestral seat of the mighty Tate dynasty – has turned into a Lost Property depot for waifs and strays. And their children. Glenda takes the only sane approach to life in Weatherfield. This poor woman – having to tell the story of Jamie Tate’s Strange Absence. Emmerdale could have recast him three times over by now…
