Sometimes a soap villain comes along who’s just so vile, I can only bear to watch them from behind a cushion on my sofa. Corrie baddie Theo has definitely reached that status after he brutally left vicar Billy to die in the Corriedale car crash, and has since tried to pin the blame on his poor partner Todd. Does his cruelty truly know no bounds? So I’m overjoyed to hear that Theo could be one step closer to getting his comeuppance this week, after an unknown person overhears him confessing that he left Billy to die! Who exactly is privvy to his killer secret? And will they go straight to the cops to report him? Something tells me it’s more likely they’ll use the information for their own advantage –…

It wasn’t that long ago that Tommy fell headfirst into Joel’s venomous world of misogyny and hatred. But thankfully, Tommy clawed his way out and cut off the friendship before things spiralled even further out of his control. The teenagers haven’t been in contact since then, but this week, Tommy gives evidence in front of his former friend. Joel puts up a front in response, which can’t be easy for Tommy to watch. But, not to worry EastEnders fans! Behind the scenes, actors Max Murray (Joel) and Sonny Kendall (Tommy) are the best of pals and have clearly loved working together on their storyline. On Instagram and TikTok, both stars have shared videos and pictures of their time on set together. In one Instagram video that features the duo dancing…

Broken Ravi’s unravelling! Walford drug lord-turned-informant Ravi is spiralling after hallucinating and attacking his own son. He’s a shadow of his former self, but you lot are conflicted over whether this is what he deserves... After Ravi’s despicable behaviour towards Harry and Kojo in the drug storyline, my gut instinct says this is the least Ravi deserves. But actor Aaron Thiara does a really good job of bringing out Ravi’s humanity, so I still find myself feeling sorry for him. Ryan, Maidstone I’m still in shock that Priya would forgive Ravi for attacking their son, no matter what state he was in! How are they ever going to explain to Nugget how he ended up in such a bad way? Rach, Lewes This is a really unexpected route to go…

The cast welcomed Andrew back with open arms, and one co-star even made the actor shed some happy tears! “What really sparked me off was when I saw Harvey [Rogerson, who plays Rhona’s son Leo],” he grins. “I actually did my last scene with him when I left in 2020. He was a kid back then and now he’s all grown up, he came on set and gave me a massive hug! It’s been so nice seeing everyone again. I kept in touch with a lot of people including Ned, Claire [King, aka Kim], Jeff [Hordley, who plays Cain], Liam [Fox, who played Dan] and James [Hooton, who plays Sam].”…

Linda’s old school friend Bea has her feet under the faux gold-embossed table as a guest at Peacock Palace, and doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to check out any time soon! The longer barmy Bea sticks around, the more she seems to enjoy poking her nose into other people’s business – including Elaine’s, which leads to a little misunderstanding this week… “Bea says something which is confusing for Elaine,” teases Harriet. “Elaine would never think of it herself. But obviously, Elaine knows that Bea is very manipulative…” Is poor Elaine a secret target for Bea’s revenge on bullying Linda?…

Most recently, the teenager tried his best to negotiate peace between Leanne and Toyah, which was no easy feat. With that much care for others, Sam has it in him to fight for what’s right. BRAINS! If Sam can give Roy a run for his money at chess – and beat Brian! – then surely he can outmanoeuvre Megan.

So, we don’t ever have to see her again.” See Harvey Gaskell. And Rob Donovan. Etc. “It’s over?” “I might go to prison, though. How am I going to cope in prison?

Joel faces Vicki in court this week, as he stands trial for his evil crimes against both her and Avani. Will the vile teenager finally get his comeuppance? With support from Ross and Mark, Vicki makes her way to the court room. There, Joel tries to keep up appearances as Tommy gives evidence against him. Vicki then takes the stand, prompting Joel’s team to fire their best defence tactics at her. How will Vicki fare in the heat of the moment? “Vicki ends up rushing out of court!” reveals our EastEnders source. “The way that Joel’s defence goes about things is too much for her to stomach. It’s just awful because Vicki has been dreading this moment for so long, and it turns out to be as terrible as she…

The world of soap is in mourning for two much-loved actors who made significant contributions to the genre. Derek Martin, best known as EastEnders’ Charlie Slater, passed away at the age of 92. The star, who had a career spanning over 50 years, joined the cast in 2000 when the Slater clan crashed into Walford, instantly becoming one of the show’s most iconic families. Derek remained a regular member of the cast until 2011, but returned for several guest stints and made his last appearance in 2016 when Charlie died in the arms of his heartbroken daughter, Kat. “Derek was deeply loved by all who worked with him and will always be remembered with great fondness,” said a spokesperson. Tributes have also been paid to Trevor A Toussaint, who played…

To ensure that Dodger’s story was portrayed accurately, Hollyoaks worked with We Are Survivors – and Danny revealed that when the Hollyoaks Later episode aired, he received a very heartfelt message from their founder, Duncan Craig OBE… “The day before the Later episode went out, I was incredibly nervous. You don’t know how it’s going to land,” confesses Danny. “Duncan left me the most beautiful, raw and emotional video of his response. In that moment, all the weight lifted. It really was incredible – I wasn’t panicked about what the response was going to be, because I already had his validation.” • For more information, visit www.wearesurvivors.org.uk…

Newcomer Stephen Aaron-Sipple has joined the EastEnders cast as Mark Junior, who was first glimpsed in the New Year flash-forward episode, hanging out with the Beales. But back in 2016, Mark was played by Ned Porteous, aka Emmerdale’s Joe Tate! Mark’s initial short stint in the Square saw him almost cop off with Grant’s daughter Courtney, before realising they were half-siblings! Tall, good-looking and oozing alpha male energy, Ned created the blueprint for charismatic Mark… and probably caught the attention of Emmerdale’s casting department!…

Caught in a trap! Surely I’m not the only one who thinks if only the Sugdens in Emmerdale had gone to the police and claimed self defence with Victoria and John, Joe’s video would count for nothing?

I was so glad to see her banged up, but there are loads of unanswered questions about her time undercover and her so-called ‘death’ that haven’t been explained.

Amelia, Newcastle Carla’s looking good for someone who spent all of Chrimbo…

While filming a story as poignant as Billy’s death or Todd’s abuse, it’s important that co-stars enjoy each other’s company when the cameras stop rolling. So, it’s wonderful to hear that Harriet is close friends with Gareth Pierce, who plays Todd. “I love Gareth so much!” beams Harriet. “In a professional capacity, I cannot fault him. He is absolutely fantastic, and his performances recently have been incredible. But also, as a friend, we get on really well. We always have a laugh together. I’ve been so lucky with the people that I have been able to work with on this show and Gareth’s one of those. It’s a lovely relationship that we’ve got.”…

Bold, brash and brightly-coloured could be words to describe the décor of Albert Square guesthouse Peacock Palace – or the woman who runs it! Effervescent Elaine Peacock has gone from queen of the Vic to boutique B&B owner, reinforcing her status as one of Walford’s most formidable business brains. We can’t get enough of Elaine’s boss era, but a certain rival entrepreneur appears to be threatened by her success… “It’s war between Elaine and Ian Beale!” exclaims Harriet Thorpe, aka Elaine, as she joins us for a catch-up. “She’s incensed by Ian’s pretentious grandiosity of thinking that he knows more than her about style and glamour, when he runs a fish shop!” Ian’s nose is well and truly out of joint at the launch of Peacock Palace, which he believes…

No stranger to soaps, Ryan was part of a dark chapter for Coronation Street in 2018 when he played the role of evil Josh Tucker, who befriended David Platt before raping him. It was the first time that the topic of male rape had been covered on Corrie, which sparked plenty of press attention at the time. “It’s great to tell these stories and represent survivors in that way,” Ryan tells us as he reflects on the plot. “It’s such important work, enabling people to start conversations and making people feel represented and heard. “Obviously Hollyoaks has covered some fantastic storylines on the same topic,” he adds. “They’re continuing that work at the moment with Dodger and Donny’s storyline.”…

Slattery is best known for his role as the Mandarin, first appearing in actual movie Iron Man 3 – played by Kingsley. Anyone else got a headache?!
