Hands up if you had “Zoe Slater returns to EastEnders” on your bingo card at the start of 2025? No? Me neither! There are some characters you think will never be seen in soap again, no matter how iconic they are or how much the fans call for their comeback. But hey, in a year where Robert Sugden crashed ex-hubby Aaron’s wedding and Clare Devine was resurrected from the dead, it just goes to show that you never know what 2025 will throw up next! And we’re still only halfway through the year, so there could still be hope that Becky McDonald may strut back into Weatherfield and knock ex-hubby Steve for six, or that Craig Dean could turn up in Hollyoaks just as true love John Paul is about…

Ste pays ex-boyfriend Rex a visit in prison this week, leading to his relationship with troubled son Lucas horrifically worsening! When Ste asks policeman Donny about Rex’s wellbeing, he’s surprised to discover that Donny doesn’t actually think that his ex-boyfriend is the one behind DI Banks’ murder. Pushing aside his son Lucas’ rage at Rex, Ste resolves to visit his ex in prison and confront him on why he lied about the murder… “Ste wants to get answers so he can have closure…” “Ste wants to get answers and also have some closure on all of this,” reveals Kieron Richardson, who plays Ste. “Once he goes in there, he understands that Rex is trying to take punishment for the killing of Banks, which he obviously wasn’t responsible for. That irks…

FAIR CITY • When a policeman turns up looking to question Doug, Pete worries that it could be related to his own dodgy dealings. Doug tells Pete that he was involved in Paul’s stolen car business, so Pete urges him to keep silent. But when the pressure mounts, will Pete crack? RIVER CITY • Hoping to connect with Tyler, Viv hangs around – but doesn’t reveal she’s his mum. When Harry and Eddie spot her, will Viv tell Tyler who she is? Also, when Lenny joins group therapy, a fight with a fellow patient leads to paranoia that he’s being targeted. THE ARCHERS • A new face causes a stir in Ambridge and immediately starts a war with one resident. Clarrie loses her confidence in her new school role, until…

“The Taylors arrival is so clear in my head. I had all the feelings that day – I was excited, nervous, but I didn’t understand what people were saying as I didn’t know any technical stuff!” “Bernie losing her daughter Belle was challenging. I hadn’t been in the show long and I was still learning. Lorraine Stanley [Karen] was amazing. She was my acting coach, my mum, everything!” “With Bernie coming out, we could finally see who she was. I really liked her scene explaining to her neighbour Mr Murray. Filming the Pride episode was also amazing.” “Bernie and Tiff were like chalk and cheese, but the friendship worked. I loved working with Maisie [Smith, aka Tiff]. I wish we could have done more – they could still be mates…

Melanie Hill BORN 11 January 1962 IN Brighton, East Sussex On the Breadline Melanie was raised in her mum’s native Sunderland. After attending the prestigious RADA drama school, she won several TV roles, but shot to massive fame in 1989 when she took over the role of ditzy Aveline in smash-hit BBC sitcom Bread. “People still tell me they’ve grown up loving it,” she confesses. “That’s a massive compliment.” Hollywood hubby… Melanie’s first husband was Troy and Sharpe star Sean Bean, who she met at drama school. The pair wed in 1990 and have two daughters. They divorced in 1997, but have stayed close. “I’m proud of Sean,” remarks Melanie. “Proud of him as a person and as an actor, and as the father of my kids.” Streets ahead Melanie…

While ex-detective Jack Darby, played by beloved Aussie actor Bryan Brown, continues to stop off during his adventures across the country with Joan to help those in need, he’s still got his own case to crack: to expose the truth of who framed him for murder… “This season, it’s about resolving the backstory: why did Jack end up getting kicked out of the police force?” he shares. “Each episode we still go in and wonderfully solve some problem that’s very much its own – but at the same time, we will carry along that plot line.” Among Jack and Joan’s pit stops is the pretty town of Rocky Point with its stunning white-sand beach, where Jack finds a local surfer who knows Sophie. And that gave Bryan the chance to…

As the First Dates restaurant reopens its doors, waitress CiCi Coleman and bartender Merlin Griffiths return to the dining room to help more folk find love without the apps… “Dating in a modern world can be hard,” notes Merlin. “So to be part of something that allows the chance for people to connect is very special.” “There is one common denominator on this show: love never runs out,” adds CiCi. “People still want to find it.” Indeed so, as more singletons take a seat at the Bath eatery – this series including familiar faces and cheeky chancers! “One lady who came in for a date used to work in Soho at the same time as me,” reveals Merlin. “It was fun reminiscing with her about all the faces and places…

BULLSEYE! It might’ve been six long years in prison, but within seconds it was like Emmerdale’s Robert Sugden had never left! The prison episode proved the Robron chemistry is as strong as ever, and while we’re champing at the bit for the inevitable reunion, we can’t wait a second longer for Robert’s delicious destruction of creepy John! Props to actor Ryan Hawley for sliding back into Robert’s shoes with gusto. The only thing missing from George and Glenda’s performance was the full sibling dance routine à la Ross and Monica in Friends! After all those comments about Ravi’s stamina, we’d pay good money for a Priya- Ravi-Denise love triangle! Every Tom, Dick and Kit gets a flashback episode these days, so where’s Rita’s special set in the clubs of Manchester,…

If Kevin fails to connect the dots and notice the chemistry between his wife and brother, then could frustrated Carl blow the whole affair wide open? Lone-wolf Carl has nothing to lose, and he wants Abi all to himself. Actress Sally explains why she thinks Carl could be the one who causes the Websters to implode… “I think Carl loves the danger and excitement,” confesses the star. “There’s a definite thrill at the prospect of them being caught. The more we get to know Carl, the more we see he does what he wants to do!”…

Laura-Jayne snoops behind the soap headlines… It was the comeback EastEnders fans had been waiting 20 years for, but our wishes were finally granted as Zoe Slater returned to Walford – and as seems fitting for the woman who was at the centre of one of Albert Square’s most iconic moments, there are even more big secrets and shocking events in store later this year… “I can’t say too much as there is a lot of drama to come, but Zoe is a mess,” confirms actress Michelle Ryan, on reprising the role she first played in 2000. “When they pitched me the storylines, and when I read the scripts, I knew it was the right decision.” SHOCK RETURN Zoe arrived back on our screens after Stacey called Alfie to help…

Ste Hay first appeared on our screens in 2006, meaning that next year will be Kieron’s big 20-year Hollyoaks milestone! “It’s not something that I ever thought would happen,” grins Kieron. “I was only ever booked to do seven episodes. I’m really proud to have gone from doing the seven to being one of the ones that’s been in it the longest. People seem to really like the character still – even when he does terrible things, somehow people stick with him, going, ‘Come on our Ste!’ “Jennifer Metcalfe has her 20th as well, so it’s a big year for both characters,” adds the actor. “I’m sure the show might do something to reference that!”…

MICK’S REVENGE? Mean Mick has already whacked Gary, before he got sent down for killing Craig. If he knew Lou was cosying up to Gary, we wouldn’t put it past him to organise a hit from behind bars… LOU’S GETTING EVEN? Sneaky Lou snatched Gary’s phone when he wasn’t looking and sent a message to herself, presumably making it look like there’s something going on between them. Did Gary rumble her, causing Lou to lash out? MARIA’S RAGE? Maria has an edge when pushed. Remember when she terrorised Tyrone by posing as his violent ex? Or was accused of murdering stalker Caz? What if Maria had a moment of madness and put Gary in a coma, but can’t remember doing it?…

She’s a Lou-natic! After it was revealed that Corrie’s Lou had been abused by Mick, I really had sympathy for her, but now she’s blackmailing poor Gary. What a shocker! The messages she sent to herself on Gary’s phone showed a real evil streak – maybe she’s as bad as Mick after all! Kelly, Telford ROB GETS HIS MAN? I’m over the moon that Robert’s out of prison in Emmerdale! His brilliant one-liners really got under John’s skin. He’s now ready to fight to win Aaron back after their kiss, but I’m just hoping that John doesn’t kill him off before they can reunite. John’s no match for Robert, though – Rob’s killed before too, and would definitely do it again to protect Aaron if John threatened his life! Grahame,…

There’s a mysterious newcomer in Emmerdale this week, and she wastes no time making her presence felt! Strong, slightly sinister Celia has taken over the farm next to Moira’s beloved Butlers, and has a proposition for her cash-strapped neighbour that immediately sets up a rivalry between the women. Little is known about Celia, other than she looks as if she’s not to be messed with! Playing this intriguing new arrival is acclaimed actress Jaye Griffiths, who millions will recognise from her starring roles in Casualty, Doctors and The Bill – just three credits in a career spanning decades. We catch up with the fabulous Jaye, who tells us about why she’s so excited about bringing sly Celia to our screens, and what makes Emmerdale one of her most special jobs…

DREAMBOAT “Today I’m filming on the Websters’ set with the brilliant Carl and amazing Debbie. Jonathan Howard [Carl] is a dreamboat, a lovely guy and so easy to work with.” HARD AT WORK “The garage would be my favourite set to work on, but we film there in all weathers! To look busy, it’s hilarious, I’ve got this blue rag I constantly wipe my hands on!” DRESSING ROOMIES “I love hanging out with Sue Devaney [Debbie], Vicky Myers [Lisa] and the girls in my dressing room, Julia Goulding [Shona] and Georgia Taylor [Toyah]. It’s the best dressing room!” BUBBLE OF LOVE “One of my lines of dialogue today is: ‘You make me feel like I’m a teenager!’ At the moment, Abi’s state of mind is in a bubble, a bubble…

Jacob Omari has been in and out of Hollyoaks village over the last few months, with he and his mum Kat being used as pawns by Grace and Rex as part of the show’s harrowing exploitation plot. The teen’s back this week, with actor Ethaniel Davy telling us in an exclusive chat that his character will be a new love interest for Frankie. But Jacob is hiding a big secret that could spell major trouble. Ethaniel teases what’s to come as this intriguing plot unfolds… Hi, Ethaniel! Where has Jacob been since we last saw him on screen in March? He went away for a little bit to figure some stuff out. He went to try and find his mum – who is going through a lot herself. His main…

Iain’s new missus Faith is understandably not pleased about his latest dangerous endeavour. But Michael assures us that while things might get rocky for the couple in this box set, their marriage should hopefully survive this obstacle… “It definitely puts a strain on their relationship, because of how Faith lost her ex-husband, Lev,” he explains. “Now her three kids have got another father figure who won’t stop taking massive risks. But they do love each other. Faith knows that, as much as she’d like Iain to stop doing this, that’s just who he is. Somewhere in there, she must love him for that.”…

Hi, Dominic! What was it like filming with a real dog? The dog was this huge, jet-black Alsatian – and on cue, it would growl and drool. It had to attack me and pull me along the ground, and I’m not a light man. I was pretending, so I was going, “Stop now!” and it just stopped straight away because it was concerned. It was an incredible dog, and the funny thing was, its best friend was this Chihuahua that was only five per cent of its body mass! How is it working with Jaye Griffiths, who plays newcomer Celia? I took part in her screen test. She must have done so much homework; the transformation was unbelievable. We all had goosebumps! She was fierce, completely in control of the…

Stacey’s back on Albert Square this week – but will she come clean to Kat about Zoe’s recent antics? As Stacey comes face to face with Kat, she’s forced to cover when her cousin picks up on her shifty behaviour. But when she then finds out that Alfie has been lying to her about his whereabouts, will Kat finally discover that the pair have been keeping the mother of all secrets from her? “Kat finds out that Alfie isn’t in Australia with Spencer at all – and she wants answers!” gasps our Walford insider. “Not only that, but he’s been secretly in cahoots with Stacey while ignoring Kat’s calls! But never in her wildest dreams would Kat think that her cousin and her husband have been busy trying to track…

ARRIVAL! Zoe rocked up in Albert Square in 2000 along with the rest of her family – and Walford was immediately a noisier place… REVELATION! When Zoe planned to leave Walford to live with her Uncle Harry in 2001, Kat revealed a shocking secret – she was her mum, not her sister! RUNAWAY! Sickened by her true parentage, Zoe ran away and lived on the street. She was lured into prostitution, but Kat rescued her. SCANDAL! In 2002, Zoe began seeing local doctor Anthony Trueman, who had previously dated Kat, and the pair got engaged – causing big ructions between Zoe and her mum. BETRAYAL! Zoe fell for Dennis Rickman in 2004, but he was in love with Sharon, so Zoe pretended to be pregnant to keep her man –…

Elaine’s life is on the line this week when she collapses – not once, but twice! Have the landlady’s stress levels taken their toll, or is there something more sinister going on with her health? “2025 isn’t turning out to be Elaine’s year, is it?” begins our Walford insider. “Her marriage is in tatters, her business is under threat, now she’s having funny turns. She really needs her family at a time like this – if only she wasn’t being difficult and falling out with them…” With emotions running high since George was sent packing, everyone’s on edge around unpredictable Elaine. Stressed Linda can’t bear the atmosphere any longer so wants to sell her share of the Vic, and withdraw from the family business entirely. Elaine’s attempts to get her…

As Ray arrives in the village this week, he’s played by a face rather familiar to long-time soap fans. Joe Absolom, who first found fame as EastEnders’ Matthew Rose back in 1997, takes on the role of the mechanic-by-day and drug-dealer-by-night. And Joe reveals that Ray is set to have a big impact in the Dales as he steps up his operations. “It’s a bit of a county lines idea,” explains the actor, who has also starred in Doc Martin and The Bay. “Ray actually gets kids, April and Dylan, to work for him and he pays them cash. It’s quite a meaty story. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Ray…”…

With Lacey Turner leaving the Square this year, Michelle Ryan’s return needs to be a permanent one! Walford needs as many Slater women as possible – I vote they bring back Little Mo next! Mary, Kilmarnock It was a great surprise to see Michelle Ryan reprise her role, she was fantastic in Bionic Woman. I can’t wait to see her interactions with everyone – let’s see if the iconic “You ain’t my mother” scene can be topped in the upcoming episodes! Kevin, Staffordshire I’m so happy to see Zoe Slater back in EastEnders, but I do hope she doesn’t turn out to be Joel’s mum! I’ve seen rumours online, and it would just be too predictable. Plus, Joel’s absolutely horrid! Divya, Bradford Could Zoe’s unspeakable secret be that she coldly…

Sally Johnson in The Bill (1993-95, 2003) “One of my most fun days was hitting someone with a scaffolding pipe during a fight. It was obviously made of rubber, but the stuntman reacted phenomenally and threw himself to the ground, so I felt immensely powerful!” Elizabeth Croft in Doctors (2006) “What a gorgeous ensemble; everyone cared so much about the work. We had lovely guest actors coming in every week, and I remember having great fun with Michael McKell [aka Nick West]. My character came in like a bull in a china shop!” Ros Henderson in Bugs (1995-99) “It was like making a Bond film every 12 days! I remember being in a helicopter with the door open, firing a harpoon gun at a tanker – I loved every second.…

“Bernie’s probably panicking inside, but she’s not showing it!” laughs EastEnders star Clair Norris, as her character’s dodgy dealings backfire on her this week. The mild-mannered café worker has been busy secretly trying to rinse the Panesar family, but her plan hits the skids this week when Vicki exposes her. And with Clair soon set to depart after eight years on the Square, she’s delighted by the drama unfolding... Hi Clair. Our Bernie’s been a bit of a sneaky sort, hasn’t she? Were you surprised by her antics? Well, I was… then I wasn’t! Once they told me, I could understand what she was doing. We’ve seen the Taylors run away with money, so I could see her doing the same after finding a way to get cash for the…

REX “When I started on the show, I was working closely with Jonny Labey [who plays Rex]. I’d love to work with him again, and to see how Jacob and Rex would interact now!” LUCAS “I’ve had scenes with everyone in the group of teens on Hollyoaks except for Lucas at this point, so it’d be quite nice to work with Oscar Curtis [who plays Lucas] in future.” MERCEDES “Mercedes would be good for Jacob to interact with! I don’t know how much I can give away – but let’s just say it would be a nice conversation for the two characters to have…”…
