The wait is finally over, as this week we’re set to find out which of Corrie’s “fatal five” will meet their maker, courtesy of a mystery killer! The Inside Soap team has been taking bets on who the murder victim will be ever since producer Kate Brooks told us about the blockbuster storyline back in December, and we’re eager to find out whether our theories are right. Turn to p11 for our hot tip on who we think is most likely to be bumped off, and which characters we still reckon have more thrilling plots to play out this year… “My money’s always on Cindy for a bunk-up!” Elsewhere, it’s a tragic week in Walford as we say goodbye to lovely Nigel, though at least Grant is back to soften…

SAVE SAM Having left Albert Square in 1999, Grant first returned in 2005 to help clear Sam’s name when Chrissie framed her for Den’s murder. Sam needed her big brothers to rescue her by talking Sharon round, before they found concrete CCTV evidence. AVENGE DENNIS A few months later in 2006, Grant helped Phil in his mission to avenge Dennis Rickman’s death by going after Johnny Allen. Grant was reluctant to get involved, but after their lives were spared by Jake Moon, Johnny was eventually convicted. PERSUADE PEGGY Summoned by Sharon in 2016, Grant came back to Walford when his mum Peggy was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He hoped to persuade her to come with him to Portugal and not take her own life, but she passed away at home.…

Daniel with the headlines brought to you by Digital Spy Lisa will face two of her biggest ever tests this year, as the detective deals with new bombshells at work and at home! It’s no secret that a shocking murder is about to rock the cobbles, and the stakes couldn’t be higher as Lisa is called upon to crack the case. One thing’s for sure – we bet she won’t be blaming poor Roy Cropper this time! “We know that Betsy finds a body after Lisa and Carla’s wedding,” recaps Vicky Myers, who plays Lisa, speaking exclusively to Inside Soap. “You’ll see Lisa support Betsy afterwards, but she’s also needed at work, so she’ll be stepping back in as the new DS Lisa Connor-Swain! “Lisa has felt quite disjointed where…

Aaron’s secret audition! Corrie star Aaron McCusker (aka Ben Driscoll) could have arrived on the cobbles years earlier! He recently shared that he was in the running to play Todd Grimshaw when the role was recast in 2020, with actor Gareth Pierce ultimately taking over. Summer Bay’s new doctor! Home and Away has cast Wentworth Prison star Nicole da Silva as Amelia Carlisle, a new regular character. Details are under wraps, though joining as a doctor, she’s sure to have dramatic plots… Prop shock! Fancy owning a piece of Neighbours history? Annie Jones (Jane Harris) has shared plans to auction the show’s iconic Mrs Mangel portrait for charity. Imagine having the formiddable Mrs M staring sternly at you all year round!…

Cute as baby Leyla is, we aren’t all that interested in watching Sarah and Jacob coo over their bundle of joy when such a juicy secret sits under the surface! Charity’s naughty bunk-up with Ross came as a huge shock in the summer, and since then she’s been faking DNA tests, lying to Mack’s face, and letting Sarah and Jacob believe the baby is biologically theirs. The truth of the situation has the potential to be catastrophic for the entire family. Not only will this tear apart Charity and Mackenzie’s marriage, but it would destroy the relationship between gran and granddaughter, and likely start another war within the Dingles if they end up taking sides. Emotions will run high, Ross and Mack’s bromance will be no more, and the drama…

FAIR CITY When Lily behaves strangely around her, Babs worries that she's being off with her, and tells Victor that they should make her feel more at ease. However, Lily is shocked when Victor reveals that he's been doing work for JJ without informing Babs. Will Lily tell Babs? RIVER CITY Gillian and Roisin panic when the fire extinguisher used in Jonathon's death goes missing. When they're blackmailed, Gillian prepares to pay off the blackmailer, but Lenny demands answers. Lenny soon makes a shock confession; could it change everything for Gillian? See TV listings for times & channel details THE ARCHERS Brian digs in his heels at Home Farm as frustrations mount for the family, and uncomfortable truths emerge. At Brookfield, Ruth faces a personal crossroads and an impossible choice.…

Ronnie and Debbie have become one of the cobbles’ most beloved couples – which is why it’s even more painful that the pair are living on borrowed time due to Debbie’s devastating dementia diagnosis, which came last year. As Debbie’s son Carl threatens what precious time the lovebirds have left, Ronnie takes matters into his own hands this week – but could he commit murder to protect his wife? Star Vinta Morgan, who plays Ronnie, argues that his alter ego could be pushed to kill as he joins us for an exclusive chat on the Corrie set… Hi, Vinta! Are you happy with how Ronnie’s character has developed over time? Yeah, it’s been an interesting ride. I enjoyed his entrance but also the man he is now. He loves that…

Ross reflects on the poignancy of this story… Grant’s return is a welcome dose of that Mitchell family nostalgia we all love, but there is one member of the clan who we all miss – Peggy Mitchell, played by the late Barbara Windsor. And Ross reveals his beloved TV mum was never far from his mind while filming, as Barbara lost her life to Alzheimer’s disease in 2020… “I thought about Barbara a great deal while being back on set,” admits the actor. “I was particularly reminded of her when I was in the Vic, where we spent so much time together. “The dementia storyline was the main reason I wanted to come back, and I was delighted when executive producer Ben Wadey asked me to return,” he adds. “I…

Believe it or not, Owen’s lasting friendship from Hollyoaks isn’t with Romeo’s trusty horse – it’s with Billy Price, who played Sid Sumner in the show! “As soon as we met on Hollyoaks, I was like: ‘This is my guy!’” laughs Owen. “He is my brother from another mother and a top bloke. To leave the show with so much experience, happy memories and people like Billy, who’s a friend for life, is honestly an absolute privilege.” The best pals also support each other through the tougher side of their careers, which actors don’t always talk about. “It’s good to have mates in the industry, because it’s not always sunshine and rainbows,” explains Owen. “You might see those peaks when people’s new jobs are announced, but there are so many…

Rafe Spall Stuart Henderson, Kate’s husband and adviser to the Home Secretary “A lot of special advisors are very ambitious…” Mark Stanley Shady politician James Ryan “Ryan is foreign secretary – and is someone who will go lower than most to reach his goal…” Rochenda Sandall Melissa, adviser to James Ryan “Melissa doesn’t give anything away. She can hide secrets…” Amaka Okafor Imogen, the British Home Secretary “Imogen loves her job, but it’s a battle. She’s still fighting to cut through as a politician.” Aoife Hinds Julie, Kate’s MI6 colleague “Julie is very observant and analytical, and is always trying to connect the dots.” Alex Kingston Rose, Head of Security at MI6 “Rose has a lot of power. She is someone giving advice from the sidelines…”…

In this six-part, 1930s-set murder mystery, a group of up-and-coming artists – among them René Magritte, Salvador Dalí and Lee Miller – are preparing for a private exhibition at a grand English estate. But after a body is found in a scene akin to one of Magritte’s paintings, Scotland Yard’s DCI Thistlethwaite is called in to investigate. Inside TV has a chat with Stephen Tompkinson, who plays the detective, to hear more… Hi, Stephen! What was it that drew you to this series? Everyone loves a ‘whodunnit?’ – the more traditional the better. Here was one set in the 30s, in a typical English country estate, and the morning after a huge party, a body is discovered. The suspects will go on to be the greatest set of surrealist artists…

Being a serial cheat herself, Cindy will see straight through any messing about, so it wouldn’t even be worth Max’s time to give into his wandering eye. ✔ It can’t be easy to be banished from your own family, but both Max and Cindy have been there. So, when either one of them inevitably ends up in a family feud again, at least they’ll have each other to moan at! ✘ Say Max was to ever cross Cindy, then he runs the risk of her hiring a hitman.

The new six-parter sees Brad and Barnes take in the coasts and wildlands of Oz, and – as ever – Barney has planned a plethora of adrenaline-surging activities to push his dad to his limits! “Barney organised a load of crazy things to see and do on this trip!” grins Bradley. “The Blue Mountains were just breathtaking – even if Barney had me facing my fear of heights again! We also got up-close and personal with a real-life croc, which was terrifying – I felt like Crocodile Dundee!” “I tried to squeeze in as much as I could,” confirms Barney. “It was really awesome to have a go at some Aussie jobs…

TATE TAKEDOWN! Moira and Mack vs Kim and Jamie got serious after Jamie torched a barn at Butlers Farm, unaware Kyle was inside. The youngster survived, but one of Kim’s prize porcelains bore the brunt when raging Moira got trigger-happy during a furious showdown. RUBY IN THE FIRING LINE Due to an undiagnosed brain tumour, Moira hallucinated that Ruby was the returning spectre of Emma Barton, and nearly claimed a second sister-in-law. Moira fired a gun at the roof of the barn, igniting a fire that almost killed them both! NAUGHTY NATE UNDER SIEGE! Lust turned to hate when Moira found out that her secret lover Nate was in fact Cain’s son – and only bedded her to take revenge on his dad! The secret blew apart Moira’s family, so…

Leela played a huge role in the horror car crash this month, saving newbie Caleb’s life and later finding the missing car containing injured Frankie, Charlie and Vicky. Kirsty had a ball filming these dramatic scenes, but reveals that the weather conditions during these long evenings were less than ideal! “It was night shoots, and the first night was stunning – but by the third night, there was wind and rain battering us!” she laughs. “Lewis [Walton, who plays Caleb] was literally in a mud slide, and when Leela was giving him CPR, I kept sliding backwards down the hill! It was just so fun, everyone got stuck in.”…

Corrie’s special episode dealing with the aftermath of Theo’s attack on Todd blew me away. I think actors Gareth Pierce (Todd) and James Cartwright (Theo) have done a fantastic job throughout, but this was so effective. I cried my heart out seeing Todd’s injuries. Ashley, Canterbury Todd’s storyline has been incredibly difficult to watch, but only because it feels so accurate. Theo has been the master manipulator, and somehow it made his attack on Todd all the more shocking because now the Street can finally see his true colours emerging! Coral For me, it was the moment George held Todd in the hospital, and all his friends rallied around, that upset me the most. It was a powerful image to see all the other victims, but Lisa’s speech felt a…

Soaps do a fantastic job of representing the real-life battles faced by ordinary people who are living with serious illness. One of the aims of Cain’s story is to raise awareness of prostate cancer and its symptoms. Dales bosses also hope to encourage men to get a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test, which can help to flag issues… “I’m 56 and I’ve been for a PSA test already because of this story,” explains Jeff. “There are other people in the company, of a similar age to me, who’ve gone, ‘I’m going to the doctors to get a PSA test. That’s what we want because it’s an illness where sometimes you don’t know and it can be symptom-free. So, if we can get people to go to the doctors and find out,…

Even by Hollyoaks standards, Romeo Nightingale’s exit storyline was totally bonkers – fleeing from Chester on horseback after escaping from prison! And when we catch up with actor Owen Warner to chat about his new role in stage play Witness for the Prosecution, he admits that he’s still quizzed about the outlandish scene to this day. “When you’re in the bubble of Hollyoaks, every single crazy storyline you’re given is almost normalised!” laughs Owen, who left the Channel 4 soap in 2024. “Since starting this new job, I’ve chatted to people about Hollyoaks and the conversation always ends with: ‘How did you leave the show?’ “Once they hear the details of Romeo leaving on a horse after killing his girlfriend, they’ll say: ‘I need to see this!’” he continues. “But…

This new five-part spy thriller – adapted from the novel by ITV News anchor Tom Bradby and directed by Oscar-winner James Marsh (Man On Wire) – stars Gemma Arterton as Secret Intelligence Service officer Kate Henderson. On the surface, Kate’s life appears pretty ordinary: a civil servant married to political adviser Stuart (Rafe Spall) with two teenage children. However, Kate has a secret job: heading up the Russia Desk at MI6. And when her undercover operations reveal that a high-ranking British politician may be working as a Russian asset, Kate races to identify the traitor and navigate the dangerous world of espionage, while also trying to keep her family together. Here, Gemma tells Inside TV what viewers can expect… Hi, Gemma! You’ve starred in spy thrillers before: how does this…

Young magician Rafferty Coope is among the faves to take the S19 BGT title, having received the coveted Golden Buzzer from judge KSI for his impressive set. But as the live semi-finals start, competition is fierce… “The talent has been 10 out of 10!” beams KSI. “A lot of it was very different to what I’ve seen normally. It’s refreshing to see something new. It blew my mind!” For 16-year-old Rafferty, having KSI’s blessing is magic in itself… “I’ve grown up watching him!” he cheers. “KSI has been a part of my childhood. Him getting in contact with me and giving me support is insane.” And Rafferty’s clever combo of magic and music looks set to continue, as he teases his plans for his semi-final performance… “I want to do…

BULLSEYE! Like our readers who wrote into Soapbox (see p38), we were blown away by a harrowing week of Corrie that saw Todd beaten to within an inch of his life by Theo, before reporting his abusive husband to the police. It was the fact that Todd chose Sarah to run to that moved us; the moment steeped in all their history as she literally scooped him up from rock bottom. Potent stuff. It’s hard to know what was more agonising; Theo’s attack on Todd, or the hospital not having any beds for a man with a ruptured spleen. Bing-bong! The most brilliant load of nonsense we’ve seen all year. More, please! What happened to the patient in the bed next to Cain during the saga of Moira’s rescue? Discharged? Or…
