At he same time as I write this week’s editor’s letter and prepare to send Inside Soap to the printers, the cast of Neighbours are shooting their final scenes at the show’s set in Nunawading, near Melbourne, as filming on the iconic Aussie soap comes to an end for the second time. It’s a bittersweet moment for Neighbours fans around the world, who – like me – I’m sure are sad about the show ending again, while also being grateful that the soap’s new chapter on Amazon gave us an extra two and a bit years with our Ramsay Street favourites. I’ll admit that seeing all the pictures the cast and crew posted on social media of their final week on set did make me feel a little teary. “Seeing…

EXPERIENCE Kat She’s spent much of the last two decades behind the bar, and is a natural. But how would she deal with owning the Vic without Alfie? Ian Ian owned the Vic for a short while, but it was a disastrous spell in charge. Remember when Sharon tried to poison him? BUSINESS SKILLS Kat currently owns the cab office and the laundrette, so knows what she’s doing – though the less said about that new limo business, the better… He’s owned a wealth of businesses over the years and is always looking for his next project. How would the Vic fit into the Beale empire? POPULARITY Kat’s not afraid to have a scrap, but she’s well liked, and her recent wedding to Alfie proved she’s a popular member of…

As much as we love Mack and Charity, we can’t help but feel that this might be the final nail in the coffin for their strained marriage. There are still many Emmerdale fans out there hoping for a reconciliation between Charity and her former fiancée Vanessa, and Emma has given us hope that a reunion may be on the cards… “When they do have scenes together, there’s always that potential for reconnection, because they get on so well as friends,” notes Emma. “There’s always that spark, and you never know in soap what they choose to do from one moment to the next. “It’s always a joy to work with Michelle [Hardwick, who plays Vanessa],” she adds. “So either way it’s a win-win, even if they just have a lovely…

Kathy is forced to think on her feet this week, in order to stop the truth about Keanu’s murder from being exposed again! Vicki is still reeling from Bernie’s theft, and considers telling the police about the crime. But this alarms Kathy, who is scared that Bernie might blow Walford’s biggest ever murder conspiracy wide open if the cops come calling! She devises a plan and rings absent Sharon, asking her to let Vicki stay at No.43 to keep her sweet. Will Sharon agree?…

Martin Fowler lives on I was over the moon to see Martin’s fruit and veg stall back in action with Peter employed there. As Stacey realised, the kids deserve to have their family legacy live on in Walford. It was also a lovely touch to hear Kathy reminisce about the good old days with Pete. Paul, Solihull MERCY & TONY I didn’t see Mercedes and Tony coming in a million years, but I really enjoyed the sweet scenes they shared together recently! Maybe it’s because Jen Metcalfe (Mercedes) and Nick Pickard (Tony) have worked together on the show for so many years, but I actually believe their characters have chemistry – which as a long-time Hollyoaks fan, I never thought I’d say. Tell me I’m not the only one who…

Dipping her toe back into the dating pool after being widowed last year, lonely Kim Tate thought she’d hit the jackpot when she met charismatic surgeon Eddie. Unfortunately, the Emmerdale powerhouse has no idea her new fella is actually a psychotic villain who deliberately slid into her DMs as part of a wicked plot to get his hands on her fortune! Only viewers, and Kim’s stepgrandson Joe, know the truth about her deceitful beau, whose sinister plan for the Dales diva soon starts to become horrifyingly clear. Surely the mighty Kim can’t be duped that easily? Or has she met her match in dastardly Dr Crowley? We catch up with soap icon Claire King, who teases what’s in store for her alter ego… Hi, Claire! So Kim thinks she’s found…

Nigel Harman has always been an Inside Soap fave, so we’re desperate to know if his character Max – Jodie’s dad – might ever return to the ED… “I think Max is still going in South Sudan, so who knows when he’s going to come back?” ponders Anna. “You’d think he’d want to come back and see his daughter, wouldn’t you? In Public Property, as well as figuring out who she was, Jodie was also grieving that past with Max. Maybe one day when she’s older, she might contact him to ask these questions about why he left – but not yet.”…

As well as acting, Emily also dabbles in presenting on A Touch of Salt with Emily Weir, where she interviews her cast members over on the Home and Away Instagram page. “It’s something I’m trying to push for myself,” Emily shares. “I really love all that stuff, so whenever I get an opportunity to sit down with the cast and test out my skills, that’s what we’re doing, and it’s been really fun! “I think the fans really enjoy it!” Emily continues. “I know too, being such a fan of shows myself, if you have cast members interviewing cast members, it’s cool to see what people are like!”…

This new feature-length drama centres around a clan faced with the devastating aftermath of an act of abuse perpetrated by a member of their own family. Out of prison, Joe (Bobby Schofield) goes into a rehab centre, supported by former nun Katherine (Anna Maxwell Martin). Joe’s sister Anna (Anna Friel), meanwhile, is left to deal with the fallout of his actions on their father Brian (David Threlfall) and her two boys… “She can’t get help for her son,” explains Anna. “She says to Joe, ‘You’re having therapy galore, every kind of help. But my son hasn’t been able to get any – and he’s the victim.’ She’s having to fight the battle for her son, rather than the authorities doing it.” It’s not the first time Anna’s teamed up with…

As things stand, each member of the Webster family is going through a tricky personal issue – and latest arrival Carl is no exception. In desperate need of cash to pay off his debt, Carl makes the bold decision to ask Debbie for a whopping £50k. And as star Jonathan Howard tells us, his character is sure that his older sister has plenty of money to put on the table… “Carl overhears Debbie talking about going way over the asking price for a house,” the actor reveals. “So, for Carl, it sounds like Debbie’s got some excess cash. He expects her to give him some money, and he’d be a little disappointed if she didn’t help him out. Again, it’d fulfil that prophecy of, ‘My family isn’t there for me.’”…

Laura-Jayne snoops behind the soap headlines… Emotions will be running high in the coming weeks for Street favourites ‘Swarla’ – with new pictures revealing crisis talks ahead. Our sneaky snaps of stars Alison King and Vicky Myers filming on location appear to show Carla trying her best to support Lisa through a difficult time. But is poor Lisa beyond wanting to be helped? And what does that mean for their future together? “Carla’s doing everything she can to reassure Lisa, who is clearly in a bad way,” observes our Coronation Street spy. “It looks as if things are set to come to a head and will push her to breaking point.” Lisa’s been having therapy to help her deal with the unresolved guilt she feels over the death of her…

It’s been confirmed that Home and Away stalwart Irene will bow out in a devastating story, following an unexpected medical diagnosis. “Irene will continue to experience a series of alarming memory lapses, including a concerning incident where she forgets she’s babysitting Archie and nearly leaves him home alone,” shares a Summer Bay spokesperson “During later episodes, Irene takes her first step toward confronting the truth. With the support of her dear friend John Palmer, she bravely meets with Dr Bree Cameron for a medical consultation. It’s there that Irene is faced with a gut-wrenching reality: there’s no coming back from this one…” As word spreads, the Bay will rally to support Irene through her biggest challenge yet, building towards an episode that will go down in soap history. Star Lynne…

After years of playing the stone-cold Patrick Blake, Jeremy has a theory that the Hollyoaks team based twin character Jez on him! “I presume they base a lot of Jez on me,” he laughs. “Not the killing side, but I’m a major gardener in real life and I’m very social.” The similarities don’t end with personality, though – Jeremy also dresses like Jez… “I used to wear these awful suits as Patrick, which I hated,” he shares. “This time, I’m in cargo pants, dungarees for the garden – everything I’d wear in reality. They’re completely me!”…

Jack is left delighted this week, when his old mate Tony offers him a job behind the bar of The Dog in the Pond! The Hollyoaks watering hole is set to reopen next week, following Diane’s drunken incident which flooded the place. Former landlord Jack is thrilled when Tony asks him to return to work at the pub that holds many happy memories, and tells his pal he can count on him. As the Hutchinsons gear up for the doors to reopen, will the grand relaunch be drama-free?…

I’m really torn about the Lou and Gary saga. Lou is clearly a victim and wants to protect her children, but there’s no excuse for lashing out at Gary so violently. He also has Maria, Liam and Jake to care for. Just imagine if Liam had lost another dad? It doesn’t bear thinking about. Cole, Margate I’m still shocked that Lou was keeping vigil at Gary’s bedside all this time, but not only that, she was his attacker too. She clearly has a guilty conscience, unlike her evil husband Mick, but I didn’t think she had it in her to actually clobber someone half to bloomin’ death! Abigail, Luton Poor Brody, Joanie and Shanice. Their dad turns out to be a murderer and their mum acts so recklessly to potentially…

The toxic Tates are always expanding as they attempt to protect their reputation as Emmerdale’s most powerful family, and Claire reckons the clan could soon be getting another boost. Sharing her predictions for what the future holds at the big house, the star reckons we’ll soon be seeing brides, and even babies… “I think Dawn was put with Joe so they could get married, and maybe then there’ll be even more little Tates running around,” she smiles. “It’s always nice when Home Farm feels full. When it’s empty I’m just pottering around on my own, doing monologues!”…

With Corrie one of Britain’s most-loved soaps, it should come as no surprise that the cast are often spotted while out and about. So, after more than three months on the cobbles, we have to ask Jonathan whether he’s had any memorable fan encounters – and it turns out he has! “I flew into Manchester Airport recently,” the actor explains. “I gave the customs officer my passport, and she said, ‘Where do I know your face from?’ I asked if she watched Corrie, and she said, ‘I do; that’s where I know you from.’ Then she said, ‘Stay away from your brother’s wife!’”…

Teen star Young Ashley got the acting bug after watching his sister’s drama group perform. “One of the lads was hilarious – seeing him inspired me to pursue this new-found hobby,” he says. After a stage role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Ash made his television debut aged 19 as Hollyoaks’ Darren Osborne. Top of the pops! In 2001, Ashley quit Hollyoaks for three years and joined pop band allSTARS*. As well as four top 20 hits, the group starred in two series of their own ITV show STARStreet* and performed on countless TV shows. “It was an incredible time really, though I didn’t appreciate it enough at the time,” Ashley recalls. Big dramas! Ashley is Hollyoaks’ third longest-serving cast member, and over the years we’ve seen Darren…

As well as writing the series, Emer Kenny also stars as Professor River Wilde – and her alter ego is even more involved in this latest storyline… “In the first series, most of my scenes were just with Lauren – but this time I was in the police station more, with different actors,” she explains. “It’s always more nerve-wracking saying my own lines! But it was really nice to have River engaging with different parts of the story.” While River and Karen are pals, their working relationship is tested by the latter's unconventional methods of investigation… “I think this series is about Karen’s relationship with authority,” muses Emer. “She’s never been anyone’s boss before, and she doesn’t know how to handle it. River and Bel are irreverent towards her –…

EMMERDALE LEWIS PLAYS CUPID! HE OFFERS WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO ONE VILLAGER… While some relationships in Emmerdale village stand the test of time, others crash and burn before they fully reach their potential. And next week, Lewis becomes determined to reunite a couple that he thinks should put the past behind them and move forward together. But when Lewis has a word with one member of the pair, will his advice be taken seriously? Or will the folks in question decide that it’s best to leave things as they are? CORRIE Baby blues Ed calls for a family sit-down next week, as the tough situation between Dee-Dee and James continues to cause trouble. Can the Bailey patriach find a solution? THE REAL RAY Soap star Joe Absolom’s rise to fame!…

Elsewhere in Weatherfield, we’re set to see the return of Bethany Platt sooner than we thought, with actress Lucy Fallon announcing that she’s back filming on the cobbles. Bethany bid the Street farewell earlier this year when Lucy left to have her second child, Nancy. However, the actress took to social media to announce that she’s already back on set, meaning it won’t be long until she’s reunited with the Platts – and her ex-fiancé Daniel… Meanwhile, soap’s revolving door continues to spin. Over in Erinsborough, Elle Robinson is coming home – with a new face! Paul’s daughter will now be played by Elise Jansen, taking over from Pippa Black, as Elle’s story runs all the way to the show’s big finale at Christmas. Finally, Sherrie Hewson is quitting the…

On the tube As well as streaming on ITVX, Corrie and Emmerdale are available on YouTube from 7am on the same days as they air on telly. So, now there really is no excuse to miss your favourite soaps! Keep Abi & Corrie on! Despite her character’s dramas, star Sally Carman hopes there’s more plots in store for her chaotic alter ego. “I see my future on Corrie, so I hope they do!” All is forgiven! Thankfully, there’s no bad blood between the Street’s Joe Layton and Colson Smith after Mick bumped off Craig. “He’s never made me feel bad in any way,” shares Joe.…

She’s no saint, but if Lou ends up getting convicted for her crimes, we must admit we’d be sorry to see the back of her. Okay, so that’s a controversial opinion not shared by most people on the street – mardy Maria will throw a party if a ‘guilty’ verdict is delivered – but Inside Soap has really warmed to bolshie Lou over these last few months. The Michaelis family crashed on to the cobbles like a hurricane earlier this year, with Mick and Lou reminding us of when the Battersbys brought their brash brand of chaos to Corrie back in the 90s. Every soap needs their ‘neighbours from hell’ to create conflict and give the community a shot of disruptive drama. Walford’s Slaters, Emmerdale’s Dingles and Hollyoaks’ McQueens might…

As the Dog prepares reopens its doors, show legend Jack Osborne is also back working behind the bar. Jimmy McKenna is Hollyoaks’ second longest-serving cast member after Nick – who is full of praise for his close friend off-screen. “It’s always nice to work with Jimmy McKenna,” he says. “We’ve been mates now for about 30 years and we pretty much started on the show together. He’s a great pal of mine, and we actually lived together in real life for nearly 20 years!”…

BULLSEYE! It’s a shame Dr Crowley is as mad as a box of frogs; he could have wangled a cushy job at Liam’s GP surgery and watched Joe squirm every single day, for larks! The script demanded that actor James Hillier camp it up to the max, and it was a triumph of brilliant nonsense that we won’t forget in a hurry. To the Great Kidney Heist of 2025; a plot that truly was the gift that kept on giving and, indeed, taking. The nerve of Lou identifying Gary as Chesney surely prompts just one reaction: Dawn deducing that Will would want Kim to be happy when they actively tried to kill each other weeks before he died was some stretch. ‘Hojo’ is currently the purest thing in Walford.
