Vulnerable Max falls into the trap of evil terrorists this week – after nasty Griff and his gang manipulate the lad into spreading hateful propaganda online. The Weatherfield locals are coming to realise that the so-called eco warrior is a vile piece of work, and their fears are confirmed when Griff tries to poison the community with his toxic agenda at a meeting that’s supposedly about the environment. However, while the grown-ups see through him, impressionable Max winds up doing Griff’s bidding – much to David’s horror… “No parent wants to see their kid fall in with the wrong crowd – but Griff and his pals are next-level terrifying,” grimaces our Corrie insider. “They’ve chanced upon Max, who has been a victim of persistent school bullies since losing his place…

Amy’s not the only one struggling with the vile gossip that’s circulating – Denzel too is having a tough time. When Patrick offers some words of advice to the teenager, Howie wishes he could reach his son in the same way. An opportunity arises once the internet goes down, and Patrick and Howie convince Denzel to play dominoes with them… As the conversation turns to Amy, Denzel finally opens up about his feelings, leaving Howie pleased with his progress. However, when Kim walks in and asks why the router has been switched off, Denzel realises he’s been tricked! Will all the good work be undone?…

Fiz looks as though she could do with a cuddle from her mum in our filming pics – but that’s out of the question following the news that ex-Corrie star Wendi Peters, who played Cilla Battersby-Brown, is joining the cast of Doctors! And her Letherbridge alter ego, Dr Nina Bulsara, looks worlds away from her cobbles character. “I'm absolutely thrilled that she's very, very different," explains star Wendi, who played Fiz and Chesney’s battleaxe mum from 2003 to 2007, before making her last appearance in 2014. "Dr Nina is very well brought up. She's the daughter of two solicitors and she's a GP, and she was married to a consultant who unfortunately passed away from a stroke. Nina turns up at the Mill with a mission. She knows what she…

Grace gets dragged into Warren and Norma’s dodgy dealings this week, when her ex begs her for help after his mum goes missing. As she learns more about their toxic relationship, Grace discovers Warren is very ill and needs a liver transplant, and Norma holds the key to his survival. Can Grace convince her to do the right thing and save her son? Tamara Wall, who plays Grace, fills us in… Hi, Tamara! How does Grace get involved with Warren again? Someone has a hit out on Norma, and Warren reckons that Grace, with her gangster contacts, can help him find out who it is. There’s bad blood between them, but still a connection.

There could be a new love blossoming in Walford this week, as it becomes clear that Zack and Whit have caught each other’s eye. And the perfect situation soon arrives for the pair to get closer after Felix and Finlay organise a housewarming party at Whit’s home. As the night arrives, Whit is excited to see Zack, but it seems the course of this true love isn’t going to run smoothly… “Whit and Zack recently had a bit of a heart-to-heart after Zack found himself having to make a decision over his relationship with Sam, and that seems to have left them with a connection,” our Walford insider reminds us. “It takes the boys a little bit of time to persuade Whit to have this party – after all, it’s…

S tu looks to the future this week, after his name is officially cleared in court – but he’s not the only one thinking about what comes next. Stu had been planning to move out of Yasmeen’s house, needing to provide his granddaughter Eliza with her own room if he is to become her legal guardian. But he gets a shock when Yasmeen comes up with another solution… “Yasmeen admits what we viewers have known for a long time – that her feelings for Stu go deeper than either of them has been prepared say,” explains our Corrie insider. “So, she comes up with a very sensible suggestion – that if Stu shares Yasmeen’s room, there would then be a spare room for Eliza, and they can all live together…

It says something for the breadth and depth of soap that one of its most cherished romances isn’t bright young things exploring the first flush of love, or tortured souls fighting against the odds. Rather, it’s two sixtysomethings, worrying that they’ve left it too late for a second bite of the cherry. As we join them this week, Jim has (almost) cleaned up his act to win the affections of strait-laced Dot. However, he may have blown it after cack-handedly blurting out his feelings. So, as the pair embark on a day out together, Jim’s in the last-chance saloon. He’s booked one of London’s newest attractions (well, the Eye is a year old by now, but they don’t want to be in those early queues at their age). Together, they…

CREATURES OF WALFORD! While I’m not really a Halloween person, I love it on screen just to see the costumes for the year. Linda looked great behind the bar as Maleficent, although I really think that should have been reserved for Janine – she is the evillest in all the land! | Allie, Sheffield PEN TO PAPER… With the love of true crime right now, I’m not surprised there’s so much interest in the story of John Stape. If I was living around Coronation Street, I think I’d be excited for every new instalment. Fiz should reconsider selling her story, it could be a bestseller! | David, Peterborough Imagine a book written about the crimes of Pat Phelan – now that would sell out fast… OLIVIA AND THE MCQUEENS Mercedes…

When Alya teamed up with Weatherfield newcomer Dee-Dee in order to clear Stu’s name, the duo became a dynamic new Coronation Street double act in the making. The girls dug deep into the murder case Stu was falsely found guilty of decades earlier and managed to expose the real killers, forging a firm friendship and establishing a reputation for troubleshooting that has attracted the attention of the locals. And this week, Adam offers sassy solicitor Dee-Dee a job at his law firm, while in turn his new recruit hires eager Alya as her legal secretary. Stars Sair Khan (aka Alya) and Channique Sterling-Brown (who plays Dee-Dee) joined us for a natter about their instant screen chemistry, how much they’re loving this girl-power partnership, and what crimes they could be solving…

This new documentary sees ex-Strictly star Oti Mabuse return to her childhood home in South Africa, and revisit the people and places that inspired her. And as Oti reveals, her homeland has had a huge influence on her career… “In all my work, I’ve always shared South Africa: I’ve done dances that are as if we’re in Johannesburg or Mozambique,” she explains. “For me, Africa is one of the most beautiful continents that’s not been fully discovered.” The year in which Oti was born in Pretoria, 1990, saw Nelson Mandela released from prison – and it’s this historic event that plays a part in one particular highlight during filming… “It was being in Nelson Mandela’s cell and holding the key to Robben Island,” reveals Oti. “I grew up learning about…

SUNDAY 13 November I’M A CELEBRITY… GET ME OUT OF HERE! ITV 9PM Hi, Sue! What tempted you to take part in this year’s competition? Well, I’ve just turned 59, so I decided I was going to shake things up a bit. I realised I needed something new that would challenge me – and I thought this show would be good! Did you get advice from any former Coronation Street campmates? I spoke to Simon Gregson [Steve] and Jennie McAlpine [Fiz], who seemed to think I’d have an absolute ball. It’s all very positive and I’m feeling excited! What are you likely to be most scared of? Don’t be ridiculous! I’m not going to admit what I fear most… I’m going in with an open mind. Nothing can kill…

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Channel 4 8PM With the housing market seemingly more unpredictable than ever before just now, Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer are back to prove their property prowess with another new series in which they help out house-hunters having a hard time of pinpointing their perfect pad. The scenic surrounds of the Kent coast (which just so happens to be Phil’s home turf) will be scoured in tonight’s opener, where Ellen wants to move out of her mum and dad’s place in Hertfordshire to start a new life within the lively LGBTQ+ community of Margate, while Sophie, Matt and baby Tate – having already viewed more than 100 properties – are after a family home in Broadstairs… OUTSIDERS Dave 10PM David Mitchell returns to host as…

Moira is a woman on the edge this week, as she comes to terms with the terrible truth that it was Cain’s son, Kyle, who killed Al. With Cain taking the rap for the murder, both he and Moira are forced to do whatever it takes to protect the lad. But when Moira can’t cope with the pressure any longer this week, she flees the village, leaving poor Cain feeling abandoned and devastated. “Moira was totally shocked after she learned the truth about Al’s death, but Cain has made her swear she’ll back him up and there’s no way he’s going to change his mind,” says Natalie J Robb, who plays her. “She’s also seen how traumatic this all is for Kyle and how it is affecting him. Moira…

It’s fair to say that EastEnders has had its share of criticism in the past year, and perhaps hasn’t enjoyed the same viewing figures as its rivals over on ITV. That said, the Square was recently level with Emmerdale in the ratings – and has just scooped five trophies at the Inside Soap Awards, including the gong for Best Soap. So, what’s changed? Well, since new boss Chris Clenshaw took over in the summer, Walford has been buzzing with fresh energy. Fan favourite Alfie Moon returned to crash Kat’s wedding, the Panesars have been juggling sex, murder and betrayal – and we even travelled back in time to meet the Mitchells in the 70s. However, the question remains: what does EastEnders have to offer in the very near future? Inside…

Bernie tries to track down con artist Fern this week, hoping to clear her name for the robbery that her wicked doppelganger framed her for. Teaming up with Fern’s ex, Howard, Bernie sets a trap to smoke out the identity thief and arranges a meeting in Freshco’s car park. But the plan backfires when Bernie is kidnapped and bundled into a van! Is this another case of mistaken identity, or Fern’s final revenge? And can Howard really be trusted? Corrie’s Jane Hazlegrove reveals the drama ahead... Hi, Jane! Is Bernie worried she could go to jail? The longer it takes to find Fern, the more she starts to think that is a possibility. Bernie has been on the wrong side of the law before, but only for minor things, and…

New mum Amelia faces a traumatic ordeal this week, when scheming Samson reports her to social services! Will they take baby Esther from her? It’s a difficult time for Amelia as she struggles to cope with the combination of exhaustion and self-doubt while getting used to life as a teen mum. Dan and Lydia are both determined to support her, so when Amelia needs a break, Samson’s stepmum decides to draft him in to help. But what Lydia doesn’t realise is how low Samson will stoop to make his baby daughter disappear… “Samson wants to be rid of Esther as fast as possible – he thinks she’s ruined his life,” whispers our village spy. “He’s livid to be left holding the baby, and tries to manipulate Amelia into putting Esther…

Sam hopes to build bridges with Ricky this week, but it seems it’s too little, too late as far as her son is concerned. Sam hasn’t spent much time with her boy since returning to the Square last year, having left him with his dad Jack several years previously. And after Sam misses a school event, Ricky later blanks her when she tries to chat. Sam’s frustrated and starts plotting to get closer to her son – but is he really interested in deepening their relationship?…

Cindy has a business proposition for Zara this week, after she wows the village with her baking. Darren and Brooke ask Cindy to help plan a surprise birthday party for Jack, and Zara is roped in to make some delicious cake pops. The secret ingredient of a healthy herbal mix gives Jack a proper spring in his step, and ignites Cindy’s entrepreneurial streak. She asks Zara to start mass-producing the tasty cake pops so they can sell them – but with Cindy’s bossy reputation, is a potential professional partnership a recipe for disaster?…

Mary bounded into Emmerdale with a spring in her step, and has been a joy for us all to watch. When we put your questions to Louise, we discovered she’s equally delightful! “How has it been coming back to Emmerdale for the second time?” Well, it’s changed a lot. We filmed it all on one camera and the wonderful replica village didn’t exist then. I do feel as though it’s completing a circle for me. Emmerdale is where I started and now, I’m 71 – who knows how much longer I’ll be acting for, but it’s a gift of a job. “What’s the best part about having Zoe Henry (Rhona) as your on-screen daughter?” Where do I start? Zoe’s generous, kind, talented, intelligent and a kindred spirit. I’ve had a…

Kevin McCloud, Michelle Ogundehin and Damion Burrows are joined for this seventh series by architect Natasha Huq, all giving us an inside view of the properties in the running for 2022’s Royal Institute of British Architects’ House of the Year award. Across four episodes, they’ll reveal which have made the shortlist – and in the final programme, the overall winner. And as Kevin tells us, it’s a role he relishes… “Our job really is to communicate the spirit of a place, and to enthuse about what makes it tick,” he explains. “The important thing in putting buildings on television is to try to convey the magic of them. So we have a dream job!” And even after having fronted the series since 2015, Kevin admits to still being taken aback…

SUMMER HOUSE E4 10PM The hit US reality show set in the sunshine of the Hamptons arrives just as our Great British nights are drawing in, and as the series plays out all this week, the outrageous antics of the group of pushy New Yorkers who have swapped life in the Big Apple for a luxurious break in a stunning Montauk abode are set to have our double glazing steaming up. Brace yourself for ‘adult themes’, as house renter Kyle – the pampered blond in the long-sleeved blue shirt pictured above – boldly announces in his introductory narration: “A group of a friends in a beach house is like summer camp for adults – except with no counsellors, and lots of alcohol…” What could possibly go wrong? 1966: WHO…

THE HORNE SECTION TV SHOW Channel 4 10PM Hi, Alex! Tell us about your six-part comedy… Well, the narrative is like a normal sitcom, but we occasionally break into a rehearsal room with me and the band, where we’re improvising. And in this show, we have our own TV chat show, where special guests come on. Are there any tie-ins with Taskmaster? Yes, at the start, where you see my character desperate to get his own show. In reality, I love being Little Alex Horne, but in this, I’m sick of it and want the spotlight to myself. Then it turns out I don’t want the spotlight, as it’s horrible! And among your guest appearances are Martin Kemp, Big Zuu, Anneka Rice, Dr Ranj Singh… Yeah, we wanted a real…

Jack’s attempts to protect daughter Amy end in violence this week, as he loses his rag – and punches Howie! It’s not the first time Jack’s anger has got the better of him recently, with Howie’s son Denzel on the receiving end of the police detective’s fury the last time. But as Amy’s actions become more worrying, there’s only one person Jack blames… “Jack is convinced that Denzel is to blame for Amy pushing her family away,” says our Albert Square insider. “He reckons that his daughter was sweet and innocent until her new boyfriend rocked up – though he’s clearly forgetting she’s Roxy Mitchell’s child! Unfortunately, innocent Howie gets caught in the crossfire.” The past few weeks have seen Amy become more isolated from her loved ones, as false…

Soap characters are so iconic that the thought of them crossing over into rival shows is utterly fascinating. So, we asked EastEnders boss Chris: if you could steal a character from another soap, who would it be – and why? “That’s a brilliant question!” exclaims Chris. “I have to say Steve McDonald from Corrie. He could be on the market, selling DIY items. I can see him fitting in with Rocky, Harvey, Mitch, and being one of the boys. Actually, he could be one of the taxi drivers for Kat’s cabs. If Steve needs a job in Walford, we can hook him up!”…

Only a handful of mourners gather for the funeral of cheater Al this week. Among them is girlfriend Kerry, who is devastated by his death. But there is more trauma for Kerry once she discovers that her boyfriend was a love cheat who was just about to leave her when he died! “It’s not an easy week for Kerry, that’s for sure!” snips our Emmerdale insider. “She’s dreading the funeral and even asks Chas if she would consider coming with her. Little does she know how much Chas is also grieving for Al. Chas doesn’t think it’s a good idea to go to the ceremony. But missing the goodbye brings her to the brink of despair, and she steals an order of service from the funeral party, then collapses in…

Nick and Leanne have the rug pulled out from under them this week, as their business partner Debbie reveals she’s on the verge of bankruptcy and needs to sell her half of the Bistro. And while the pair reel from that shock, there’s trouble at home when Harvey rears his ugly head once again. “It’s a nightmare week for Leanne and Nick,” sighs our cobbles insider. “They’ve been enjoying running the Bistro together. And while Debbie might have her foibles – and a bit of a gob on her – generally speaking the trio have made a good team! But now it seems it’s all coming tumbling down. Debbie’s been trying to offload some other assets elsewhere, but her financial troubles have painted her right into a corner.” Straight-talking Debbie…

Terry Duckworth innocent? Yeah sure, And pigs might fly. Well, get ready for a big pink porker in the Weatherfield sky this week, as it turns out for once that ‘our’ Terry isn’t the guilty party. He’s been set up for attempted murder by a police officer whose wife Terry was doing a little overtime with (so he’s not totally innocent). At his hearing, Terry flees the courtroom, leaving mum Vera distraught that her son is on the run, and dad Jack despairing that Tez is once again spreading chaos in his wake. When Terry arrives at No 9 protesting his innocence, Jack reluctantly believes him and agrees to hide his lad in the allotment shed. But Vera soon gets suspicious of Jack’s movements, convinced he’s having an affair with…
