What a truly thrilling time it is to be a soap fan! Is there anything more delicious as a viewer than the moment one of your favourite characters makes a shocking comeback, right at that cliffhanger moment, leaving you desperate to watch the next episode to find out what’s going to happen? Here at Inside Soap, we’ve known for quite some time about Robert Sugden’s wedding crasher moment, and let me tell you, it’s been torture having to keep such a juicy secret under wraps! Even when I was on the phone to Danny Miller recently, interviewing him about the wedding week, we had to talk about the storyline in code as he was in a café at the time, and didn’t want any of the other customers to overhear…

First with the week’s HOTTEST headlines Wedding bells are ringing in Walford this week as Kat and Alfie prepare to tie the knot – will it be third time lucky? The pair have been on cloud nine since their whirlwind engagement, but as the big day approaches, cracks begin to show in the relationship, thanks to son Tommy’s antics and a series of stressful misunderstandings. Then at the last minute, Kat calls the whole thing off! “Alfie is so excited to be marrying Kat again,” grins Shane Richie, who plays him. “It’s meant to be. They belong together, but it wouldn’t be a Walford wedding if it wasn’t full of drama, would it?” “It wouldn’t be a Walford wedding without drama!” Seduction technique The lead-up to the big day is…

Hi Shane! Are you pleased Alfie and Kat are engaged again? It feels right, doesn’t it? They’ve been back together for a while now, so a wedding is the icing on the cake for them. Is Alfie feeling nervous as the big day arrives? It turns into a complete nightmare, to be honest. He’s trying to juggle many plates and dropping more than a few! He suffers quite a few mishaps… Once Kat calls it off, do you think the wedding can still go ahead? Of course! I think most people want Kat and Alfie to make it work. Whenever I’m out and about, everyone wants to know when they will get remarried. You’ve had a few Walford weddings, was it fun to film another one? It was great, I…

Betsy embarks on a risky mission this week, after she uncovers some mysterious information about her late mum Becky. When Lisa leaves her files lying around, Betsy takes the opportunity to have a snoop. However, Lisa is mortified that her daughter has found such confidential material – and even grabs the box out of her hands! What is it that she doesn’t want Betsy to find? “Betsy is just being nosy,” explains Sydney Martin, who plays her. “As she goes to grab one of the boxes, Lisa’s very on edge. It makes Betsy question what inside this particular box is so special. “Their relationship has often been based around lies, there’s a lot of times her mum has lied to protect her, but Betsy just wants to be treated like…

Hi, Sydney! What does Betsy’s discovery stir up for her? She finds out something about Becky that leaves her wanting to know more. It seems there were certain things she didn’t know about her other mum – that prompts a bit of resentment in Betsy towards Lisa because it means she’s been keeping stuff from her and still treating her like a kid, and that frustrates Betsy. Why do Lauren and Betsy then go to visit Logan in prison? The plan is to ask questions about the night Becky died, but Logan is in prison for a reason [for stabbing and killing his brother, Mason]. He’s not a very nice guy and Betsy’s probably going to have to deal with the repercussions… How do you think her mum is going…

Lisa instigates a truly heartfelt moment this week, when she addresses the mourners at PC Craig Tinker’s memorial after colleague Kit fails to show. Proceedings kick off at the Bistro as the heartbroken group – including Maria and Kirk – gather to remember the late officer. However, Lisa begins to worry when she realises that Kit’s agreed to say a few words, yet he is nowhere to be found… “The plan was for Kit to be the one to stand up in front of everyone to make the speech,” reveals our Corrie spy. “But the copper doesn’t show his face – which is both concerning and upsetting because of how much Craig looked up to him. Bernie and Sarah try to track Kit down, but Lisa opts to make her…
