There’s been a big debate raging in the office over the past few weeks about Celia and Ray in Emmerdale. Some members of the team have admitted that they’re actually quite enjoying the antics of the villainous duo – after all, it’s always delicious to watch the baddies in soap – while others are absolutely appalled by what they’ve been doing to young April, and hope they get their comeuppance sooner rather than later. I’ll leave it up to you to decide which side of the fence you reckon I sit on, but I’d love to know what you all think of the story, especially now we know the truth about what’s been happening on Celia’s farm. Are you glued to your screens, desperate to know what’s next? Or are…

Zack might be mortified at the idea of Sharon hearing about his kiss with Vicki, but still, any criticism would be rich coming from her! For those that don’t remember Sharon’s relationship with her sort-of brother Dennis Rickman, their love story began when Sharon first learned that her adoptive dad, Den, had a biological son. Sharon first met Dennis in 2003, and the pair soon struck up a forbidden romance, with dad Den making his disapproval abundantly clear. Shortly after Den’s death, Sharon finally wed her man and found out that she was pregnant with his son on Christmas Day 2005. Dennis was killed that New Year’s Eve, forcing a whole nation (in our eyes, anyway) into a period of mourning. All in all, Sharon should really let this one…

Pup-cast! Corrie’s Kirk is set to venture into the world of podcasting. Upcoming episodes will see the character, whose family ran dog kennels for many years, decide to start his own pod advising owners of problem pooches. Will he get a paw-sitive reaction to his new business idea? Dead against! Corrie scriptwriter Jan McVerry reveals she initially hated the idea of Becky’s return from the dead, feeling it undermined Lisa’s grief. However, in the end she and another writer took control of the plot to make “the very best version” of the story. Lynne speaks her truth! Ex-Home and Away legend Lynne McGranger (Irene) has revealed why she really quit the Bay. “I was exhausted!” she admits. “Everyone tells me I look so well now!”…

Sully is determined to get to the bottom of what happened to Griff this week, as Dodger and Donny continue to struggle in the wake of their brutal attack. At the police station, the search is on for Griff, prompting a power clash between Dodger and Sully. When Dodger’s anger gets the better of him, he confronts Donny – unaware that Sully is listening in! How much has Sully heard? Hollyoaks newcomer Harry French, who plays Sully, talks us through the dramatic week… Hi Harry! How is your time on Hollyoaks so far? It’s been really good! I had a great introduction with Hollyoaks Later, and it was a real honour to be involved. From there, it’s been non-stop; there’s twists and turns at every corner! Sully and Dodger’s rivalry…

We thought we had the measure of gangster Kev. A dying but dangerous man, with a lot of love to give and a penchant for lemon drizzles and little old ladies! But to be honest, we’re still reeling from the twist that Kev has been lying about his illness… He might have a dodgy heart and a love for Daniel Bedingfield, but we’re worried he’s a ticking time bomb waiting to explode! With his history of violence, we’re sure Kev won’t go quietly, especially when he finds out Robron are back on. Through his gentle friendships with Claudette and Charles we’ve seen he can be a big softie. Might we see Kev embrace his fun side? Or will that go out the window as he clings to his secret?…

Theo takes his vile abuse of Todd to another level of misery this week, when he sabotages his boyfriend’s work – and attempts to ruin his relationship with George! While Todd sleeps, sneaky Theo throws all of his clean white shirts into the laundry so that when Todd wakes, he’s horrified to find that his alarm didn’t go off and he’s late for work – plus his washing is mid-cycle! “George hasn’t been able to contact Todd all day, so when he finally gets a hold of him, he’s already replaced Todd on the job with Christina!” cries our Corrie source. “Todd has no idea that his bad day is all Theo’s doing, so when his boyfriend encourages him not to take George’s lecture lying down, Todd leaps into action.”…

Kit fully pledges his commitment to Sarah this week, when he takes the liberty of shifting his belongings into her flat! Rarely known for showing the depth of his feelings, the police detective proves to Sarah just how much he cares for her through his actions – by lugging his stuff over from his apartment to hers. Once the move is complete, Kit and Sarah are both on cloud nine and make a beeline for the bedroom. Does this suggest that their relationship is for keeps, and that the loved-up duo have found their happy ever after?…

Set them free! Drug stories in EastEnders are never my favourite, but I was so invested in Harry and Kojo’s fight for survival. Kojo’s determination to get his mate free broke my heart. I love their friendship. I hope after this they can go on a lads’ holiday and finally have some fun! Nikki, Scarborough SHOCK PLOT! I was so not expecting Corrie’s new character Will to be having an inappropriate relationship with his sports coach, I thought he was just going to be a typical rebellious teenager. The fact his coach sat at the table with his family and lied about his whereabouts makes her a very dangerous person indeed.But this is gonna make for a very juicy first storyline for the Driscoll family. Amina, Weymouth At least Will…

Before the dynamic Driscolls arrived, the staff of the Rovers Return were facing an uncertain future. Would the new owners want to keep the current workforce as part of the new era, or toss them aside like last week’s hot pot? Thankfully, incoming landlady Eva decided she wasn’t going to rock the boat which meant temporary bar manager, and Inside Soap favourite, Glenda Shuttleworth was going nowhere – much to our relief, and hers! “I think Glenda was scared for her job at first,” admits Corrie star Jodie Prenger, as she joins us for a natter. “So was everyone else in the pub! No one was sure what was happening when Carla was selling the place. Luckily, Glenda’s not moving, she’s put Pritt Stick on her feet and she’s stuck…

DON’T … Make rash claims! On the morning of her second wedding to Steve, Tracy was thrown into panic as her fiancé was nowhere to be seen. Raging, Tracy accused Abi of having an affair with Steve – who had actually cheated with Leanne. In fairness, Abi had kissed Steve some time before – but didn’t go as far as sleeping with him, unlike Leanne! DO … Stay loyal! It’s hard to imagine, but when Abi and Peter briefly got it on, Tracy had a word with her brother about his budding romance. Outside the garage, Trace declared that she doesn’t like to see her friends get hurt, so he better not make promises to Abi that he can’t keep. It all ended in disaster anyway, but at least she tried! DON’T…

EastEnders is set to end the year with a major event for the Beales and the Brannings, as Lauren and Peter’s baby son Jimmy is christened. However, with the return of little Jimmy’s granddad Max Branning, it seems that no one will be playing happy families by the end of the big day! “Max is seen emerging from the church sporting a split lip – so we don’t think this has been the perfect event that Peter and Lauren hoped for!” shares our Walford insider. “Troublesome Max always tends to leave chaos in his wake, and it seems this time is no exception!” Returning star Jake Wood was spotted filming alongside Scott Maslen, who plays Jack, as well Michelle Collins, aka Cindy. Will this be the moment that she meets…

While Suki and Eve have already faced obstacles as they look to adopt a child, it seems that their journey has only just begun. Heather Peace, who plays Eve, recently revealed that this groundbreaking story is going to continue over the coming weeks and months – with the fan-favourite couple at the centre of the action. “This is going to be one of those long arcs of how long it takes to adopt,” she teases. “It opens up all sorts of stories within the story – the doubts, fears and insecurities, the communication, the obstacles of Eve’s past and Suki not believing in her ability as a mother. Within that long arc, there’s a lot to explore.”…

David’s bad behaviour takes an even more sinister turn this week. Not only does he go on a rampage with pal Daryl’s airgun, shooting at Gail, but he then launches a creepy attack on Bethany’s favourite doll as he gives it a full head shave. Gail and David further fall out when she insists that her son must pay rent, and when angry David refuses, Audrey takes it directly out of his wages at the salon. When sulking David doesn’t come home overnight, Gail is worried sick, but he returns and makes a shocking confession to Gail – he wants his mother dead! Gail is left horrified by her son’s twisted psyche, but is David just winding her up? Elsewhere, having tracked down her secret son, Hayley heads to the…

Oh Emmerdale, you nearly had me! I was almost ready to write a letter of complaint about Marlon’s death – and then the twist! I was so relieved that it was all in April’s imagination, I didn’t mind that we were tricked. Michael, Glasgow The acting in this episode was fantastic! Take a bow Mark Charnock and Amelia Flanagan. The way they spoke about April’s childhood gave me such a lump in my throat because I remember it so well. Seeing how her life has turned out is absolutely tragic! I only wish she had told him the truth for real. Charlotte I’ll probably be the only one but, honestly, I felt like the April special episode was a real cop out. Having the ending be in April’s mind meant…

Apart from a cringey near-snog with Kevin, it’s been pretty quiet on the romantic front for our Glenda. Will she ever find love? “Everyone asks me that!” giggles Jodie. “Glenda’s always on the apps, isn’t she? Who knows. It was a kind of honour to have a cobbles great like Kev attempt to snog me! That was fun to film, we couldn’t get the angle of our heads right as he went in for the kiss.” Who would Jodie choose to be a beau for her alter ego? “Pedro Pascal!” she declares. “Previously I would have said Gerard Butler, but I’ve moved on. As much as we love a romance, I do quite enjoy Glenda being a free spirit on her own. Maybe she’ll just carry a Pedro Pascal cutout…

BULLSEYE! Eva and the Driscolls descending on Corrie was a welcome ray of sunshine, but what a twist as we learn that a dark plot is bubbling away beneath the surface, with teenage Will at the centre of sinister grooming story (see p14). It’s surely no coincidence that Tim is sadly navigating a similar story that may perhaps see the two plots collide – we advise you to watch this space… Forget Okie; the real villain in EastEnders right now is the cruise company rinsing Linda Carter for 72 weeks aboard its ship. Walford is a special place where you can bed a mum and daughter and still have the nerve to look them both in the eye. Blerk! Jai and Kerry remind us of Boxing Day leftovers. Foods that…

Through the course of her life Celia has missed out on friendships, she forms them then they have to be broken. Is Celia the most evil character you’ve ever played? By a long shot! I usually get upstanding, morally robust characters – doctors, police officers, lawyers. I love playing her, she’s never afraid and doesn’t…

Here’s your first look at legendary pop icon and actor Jason Donovan on the set of Emmerdale – as he makes Lydia Dingle’s dreams come true! As previously reported in Inside Soap, Dales bosses have bagged the former Neighbours star for a special appearance in an episode due to screen later this year. We’ll see the star belt out one of his classic hits to a packed-out Woolpack as part of a huge surprise, which has been organised for Donovan superfan, Lydia. “I’m incredibly excited to have been asked to make a cameo appearance in Emmerdale as myself,” says Jason of his role. “Filming was great fun and all the cast and crew were extremely welcoming. Singing on the Woolpack set was definitely an experience I won’t forget.” And while…

It seems the role of Megan was Beth’s Corrie destiny, though the actress could have taken another path completely… “I auditioned to play Lauren!” she tells us. “Cait [Fitton, who plays her] is great, and Lauren is the first person to suspect Megan. “Lauren has been groomed and knows what to spot, so Megan has to throw her off the scent,” continues Beth. “I was also up to play one of the inmates in the mother and baby unit when Lauren was in prison – I’ve always been linked with her somehow. People even say that me and Cait look alike, too!”…

Sam reveals the grand scale of the project and mentions a few names involved, including one in particular that makes Karl suspicious – Jonah Jackson. The next day, Karl reports his findings to Elle, but with everything going on at home, he decides to drop his concerns. Will Elle start digging into Jonesy’s identity, or resist stirring up more trouble? Who…

With Andy set to face the music over his part in the fire that killed his mum, his stress levels are off the scale. So, when Jo has to palm Sarah off on a stranger while she attends a business meeting and the girl goes missing, Andy is furious. While Sarah is found safe and well, Andy’s anger boils over and he pushes terrified Jo against the wall and throws a punch, luckily hitting the wall in frustration rather than his girlfriend. Wanting to make amends for his terrible actions, Andy suggests that Jo adopt Sarah – but can Jo put her fears about Andy’s temper to one side? Elsewhere, after Matthew is arrested for Rosemary’s murder, Gray discovers the truth and sets off to clear Matthew’s name – until…

Once Ross has made peace with his family strife, what else could the Square have to offer a reliable, hard-working tradesman with his easy-going demeanour and skills? “He lives on a great big square full of homeowners and there’s a few quid floating round the place,” Alex points out. “You’ve only got to tap up Ian Beale for a bit of work, so as a builder, Ross could be involved.
