Hollyoaks bosses have us giddy with excitement following the announcement that Tony’s dad, Edward Hutchinson – played by telly fave Joe McGann – is to be the soap’s new supervillain! Surgeon Edward will play a key role in the soap’s 25th birthday celebrations next year – and we should all be very afraid! “Edward couldn’t be more different from loveable Tony,” says a Hollyoaks spokesperson. “He’s a highly manipulative and narcissistic surgeon who only has his own best interests at heart. The height of his villainy will build to a huge story running across the anniversary episodes and beyond.” “Hollyoaks has been around for nearly 25 years, and I have been there for every single one of them” adds actor Nick Pickard, who plays Tony. “Recently I had the pleasure…

Poor little Abi is once again at the heart of a Branning tug-of-war, and she’s not even two yet! With mum Abi and dad Steven brown bread, it’s down to the rest of her family to raise her. But with role models like these, we reckon she might end up more disturbed than her late mum… GRANDAD MAX Serial philanderer, the killer of her dad and all-round nasty bit of work, Max is Abi’s legal guardian. We know Max adores his little granddaughter, but he adored his own children and now two of them are dead, and the other two never see him. Good lord.

The residents of Albert Square get set to run the Walford 10k race this week – although Gray and his father-in-law Mitch are clearly taking the charity event more seriously than everyone else! As soon as he hears about the fun run, athletic Gray puts his name forward. And, eager to turn the event into something more competitive, the Walford newcomer wastes no time in persuading all his pals to sign up for the race too! “Gray uses his charm to get all the locals to agree to take part in the race, but his real target is Mitch,” reveals our EastEnders insider. “It’s already obvious that these two don’t exactly see eye to eye. So Gray thinks that this could be the perfect opportunity to goad the older man…

Sneaky Paul and Sheila become even more determined this week to break up Amy and Gary. Despite Sheila feeling incredibly guilty, she organises for Amy and Gary to babysit for Nell and baby Hugo – in the hope that Gary will prove he’s not father material. Just as Sheila expected, her son messes up, leaving Amy to entertain the children. And when Sheila enters to check on the pair of them, she takes full advantage of a game of hide and seek, by ensuring that Amy is within earshot Gary when he confesses that he doesn’t really want another child! Has manipulative Sheila caused the end of Amy and Gary’s relationship? Or will the pair manage to work through their difference of opinion and find a compromise?…

I feel really sorry for Bobby. Coming home is a huge step, and his dad Ian couldn’t even look him in the eye. What he did to Lucy was awful, but he’s served his time, and he should be allowed to get on with his life now. Although what hope does he have when everyone hates him? Mike It’s really nice how Ben is looking out for Bobby –after all, they have a lot in common. Ben knows what it’s like to come back to the Square after killing someone, so I think he could be the one to take Bobby under his wing and help him to settle in. Lara, Huddersfield I’m not sure Ben is the best role model for Bobby! What he really needs is his mum…

As a mother of six children (aged between four and 13), Madeleine’s home life sounds particularly hectic! “I’m a very hands-on mum,” she says. “But I’ve reached a point where my kids are more independent, and that allows me to pursue my career much more full-throttle.” Incredibly, Madeleine has found time to star in another show – as a WAG in football drama Playing For Keeps – and is about to film the second series. “It’s going to be a red-hot season,” reveals Madeleine. “It’s just phenomenal!”…

This week sees Kerry make overtures to ex-fiancé Dan Spencer, the man whose heart she broke a few months ago. Is this the start of a reunion? “No, I think Kerry is just lonely and Dan says something that she reads too much into,” explains Laura. “It’s that classic thing when you’ve been in a relationship and it hasn’t been long [since you split], and you think, ‘Have I done the right thing? Is there something still there?’ Kerry knows there isn’t, but she can’t help herself.” What, then, would Laura like to see the story team come up with for her alter ego? “I’d love to find out exactly what happened to Kerry to make her act so ridiculously,” explains the actress. “Maybe there could be a Kerry flashback…

Emmerdale’s Lucy Pargeter – aka Woolpack landlady Chas Dingle – has spoken about the removal of her breast implants. The actress had her first breast enlargement when she was just 21 years old, followed by a second procedure at 32. Referring to the implants as “toxic bags” that caused “massive problems”, Lucy underwent the removal process after years of suffering with anxiety, and pain in her joints and chest. Immediately after the surgery, she candidly shared: “They are out. I’m flat as a pancake. I look awful, but feel good.” Lucy kept a video diary of her procedure for Channel 4 programme Dispatches, and confessed she was astonished at how much the removal liberated her rib cage.“I forgot what it was like to have a full lung of air,” she…

It’s not just the actors who have fun on set – their stunt doubles have a blast too! Danny Walters (EastEnders’ Keanu) posted a picture of himself not only alongside Lorraine Stanley (aka Karen) and Letitia Dean (Sharon) filming on location, but his stunt double as well – clad in matching jackets! And up in Liverpool, Kyle Pryor (aka Hollyoaks’ Laurie) also posed next to his stand-in, who did most of the hard work when Kyle’s alter ego recently took a dangerous plunge off the school balcony.…

THIS SCHOOL SAGA HAS BEEN making some bold storyline choices in its third series – including the shocking and sudden death of a major character. But we’re pleased that Ackley Bridge isn’t shying away from exploring the repercussions of the death of a loved one, and how grief can make people behave in unexpected ways. Top of the class, then, for commitment to a story with long-lasting effects while still dealing with the everyday business of education, and the ongoing challenges faced by dedicated but under-resourced headteacher Mandy (the ever-excellent Jo Joyner)……

But although the actress has been enjoying her maternity leave, she’s about to start filming on the cobbles again!

“It’s all very well when you play a story like this in the confines of a TV studio – but it’s reaching out to people, and people have reached out to me,” shares Isabel Hodgins, aka Victoria. “That’s a new experience for me. I’ve had survivors thanking me for telling the story so truthfully, and they’ve shared their stories – particularly since Victoria decided to keep her baby. “I’ve heard from people whose child was a product of rape, or sexual assault. One lady decided not to go ahead with the pregnancy, and told me it was the hardest thing she ever did. Another went ahead with hers, and said she now has an amazing 20-year-old daughter – and she wouldn’t change a thing for the world. This is people’s…

Rumour has it that Steve McDonald will be floored by the daddy of all shocks – when Rovers barmaid Emma Brooker turns out to be his daughter! It’s believed that former Corrie star Angela Griffin, who played Steve’s girlfriend Fiona Middleton back in the 1990s, may appear briefly in a story that will see her revealed as Emma’s mum – with Steve later discovering that he is the girl’s father… “Angela’s reappearance is short and sweet, but it has huge implications for Steve,” whispers our cobbles insider. “Will he realise that the date of Emma’s conception matches up to when he was seeing Fiona? And what will his wife Tracy have to say about it?” Corrie viewers may remember that Steve and hairdresser Fiona dated before she had a one-night-stand…

More Maria! The Street’s Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria, has just signed a new contract that will keep her on the cobbles for another year. Fingers crossed that Maria’s flirtation with dishy Dr Ali turns into a long-term romance! What’s up, Irene? Reports suggest that Home and Away’s Irene is in for a rough few months, after actress Lynne McGranger was spotted shooting scenes where her character looked “extremely distressed”. What could be in store for Irene? Mick’s agony EastEnders’ Danny Dyer (Mick) has revealed that the show is lining up a mental health plot in the wake of Mick’s son Ollie’s autism diagnosis. “I have some really powerful stuff coming up with Kellie [ Bright, aka Linda],” he says.…

“I’m excited about seeing the babies. And a bit nervous.” “Nervous? “I just want you to know, there is no problem with me. It’s just nice to see you back at home, where you should be.” The residents of Walford could learn a lot from Denise. Be nice to psycho Bobby, and he won’t come after you with his hockey stick. What have you got to be nervous about? I’m the one that has to push four of ’em out me noo-noo.” A whole nation winced in sympathy. “Right, I better go and neuter a bull mastiff.” “Castration must be so satisfying.” Don’t give Kim ideas, Rhona – if you still want Pete to be of any practical use to you. “Listen, I don’t want to stick me neb in,…

I hope he and Dom can also now have happier times after everything they have recently been through.” …asks reader Sarah from London “I think it would be a real twist if Bethany got together with Gary. Remember when she used to be interested in him? That would really put the cat among the pigeons!” …suggests reader Lauren “Neighbours’ Ned has so much potential, but I feel he’s being wasted right now. I want to see him become a proper bad boy – maybe he could get involved in Vance’s dodgy gang?” …says reader Grace “Why…

Steve ploughs on with his secret get-rich-quick scheme this week, going behind Tim’s back by dressing up his beloved horse Tiny as a unicorn – and touting the animal about for children’s party entertainment.

Her initial plan was to move to Glasgow with new boyfriend Josh Hemmings, but she changed her mind, deciding to go it alone with…

If you thought glamour was just for the ladies of soap, you’re sorely mistaken! Corrie’s Chris Gascoyne (Peter) visited his barbers’ in Manchester recently to keep his beard in check. The silver fox shared a snap of his neater look, and we must say, we approve! Elsewhere, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick (who plays Jay) also took to social media to reveal his new hairdo. The Walford star went for a traditional short back and sides, while Emmerdale’s Joe-Warren Plant (aka Jacob) also had a hair makeover – keeping his locks out of his face with braids while playing in a charity football match. Looking good, boys!…

JILL HALFPENNY AND BABOU CEESAY FIND THAT MONEY DOESN’T TALK IN A GRIPPING NEW DRAMA… The old adage ‘money can’t buy happiness’ has arguably never been better illustrated than by this new four-part drama. The story centres on The Mensahs, a north London working-class family, whose youngest son has just arrived back home after starring in a major Hollywood movie. But their world is shattered when Isaac (Max Fincham) reveals to his parents that he was sexually abused by the film’s producer while over in the US.

RYAN PUTS A RING ON IT Congratulations are in order to Ryan Thomas (Corrie’s Jason Grimshaw and Neighbours’ Rafael Humphreys), who’s just got engaged to girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh.

Poor Callum cuts a solemn-looking figure in these latest EastEnders filming snaps, suggesting that tragedy is on the horizon for Whitney’s troubled fiancé. Our pictures show soldier Callum attending a memorial service for a fallen Army comrade, Chris Kennedy, with spies from the location shoot saying that he’ll hide from the deceased’s family at the memorial and try to sneak in the back door. But why? “Callum will be wracked with guilt after claiming to have saved a friend’s life when they served together in the forces – when actually it might have been the other way around,” reckons our Walford mole. “Later, a woman finds Callum and comforts him, and she can be seen holding a bunch of letters. Can she help Callum find the closure he needs?” The…

Sinead and Daniel are braced for bad news this week, when she heads to the hospital for a vital MRI scan, which is set to reveal whether or not her cancer treatment is working. As the anxious couple sit in the waiting room, Sinead is brutally honest with Daniel, insisting he must face up to the fact that there’s still every chance she could die. But there are big smiles all round as Sinead’s consultant explains that her tumour has shrunk… “Daniel thinks it’s time they were legally married” “It’s such a wonderful outcome!” grins our Weatherfield spy. “Not only is Sinead’s tumour smaller, but the doctor goes on to reveal that there’s also no evidence the cancer has spread.

“He’s adorable – a great guy who’s fitted in beautifully!” Those were the words of Emma Barton, who plays Honey, as she talked to Inside Soap about co-star Stephen Rahman-Hughes (Adam) a little while back. But when Stephen and Emma were interviewed on the red carpet at the recent British Soap Awards, Stephen conceded that his deceitful alter ego probably isn’t quite so charming… “Adam is a troubled soul,” suggested the star, who previously appeared in Emmerdale as Vikesh Dasari, the DCI who investigated the death of Tom King in 2006. “He’s mixed-up, and making some decisions that members of the audience aren’t particularly agreeing with. Adam is playing a very dangerous game – and we’re yet to see what happens…”…

Desperate to reach his son, David has set up a fake online gaming account to talk to Jacob and try to help him without his son realising who his confidant is. But when Jacob realises that his dad has been lying, and lures David and Leyla to the café, all hell breaks loose. “Jacob goes mad and lashes out at David – it’s a really ugly scene,” reveals our Dales spy. “As usual, Pollard is the one who tries to break it up and…

Despite their false start a few weeks ago, Michelle notices there’s still a spark between her son Ryan and Ayla. With Ryan DJing at Speed Daal, there’s plenty of time for flirting.

When Emmerdale couple Kerry and Dan split up, we knew the men of Yorkshire and beyond would need to brace themselves. Since she’s been single, our Kerry has been looking for a good time – and she found it with Nate, who just happens to be her daughter Amy’s new love interest! So far, Amy doesn’t know that her mum bunked up with her bloke, but in soap, these things tend to come out in the end. However, this week, there’s a big showdown between mam and daughter – and Kerry finds herself out in the cold anyway. “Kerry just can’t stop shooting herself in the foot – she can’t help it!” groans Laura Norton, who plays the disorderly drunkard. “I always think her intentions are good and she wants…

I don’t really watch much drama – I hate all the crime ones, they’re scary! Yuck, no, thanks! On the drama scale, I go about as far as watching Catastrophe – which I loved. Sorry to be obvious, but my top three comedies of recent times are Fleabag, This Time With Alan Partridge and The Luke McQueen Pilots. With Fleabag, the acting and writing are so succinct and incredible – nothing is wasted. And the chemistry between Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Andrew Scott is so good – and he’s gay, so that’s really good acting! I never re-watch films, and I have a unique, enchanting – very annoying – trait in that I never know who’s in any film, or whether I’ve even watched it before! Although, hang on, I do…

BULLSEYE! Bravo to Hollyoaks for letting girl power prevail as Sinead, Sienna and Diane finally got the justice they deserved against vile rapist Laurie. While we don’t blame Sinead for pushing Laurie off that balcony, we’re glad she saved him in the end, and instead let the authorities throw the rotter in jail. We hope this story gives real-life victims the courage to speak out. The way two-timer Robert is going, we wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up marrying both Michelle and Vicky – swiping the Street’s ‘accidental bigamist’ crown from Peter Barlow. Welcome to Whitney’s “I’ve got a new hairdo and zero idea my boyfriend is gay!” look. Two Branning brothers oozing sex appeal (in their own way) in the same week. We’re well jel of Mel. The…
