The wonderful thing about soaps is how one plot can resonate throughout the community, utilising the connections and history that have been built up over the years. Take the current “Soaps can use their histories to great effect” Corrie hate-crime story. Not only are we witnessing the effect on those directly impacted, but the plot also has ramifications for Toyah and Imran; Alina’s history with Seb affects her and Tyrone; Asha’s upbringing plays into her behaviour in the story; while Roy’s history with Hayley only adds to his pain and frustration at the world he sees around him. It’s a thing soaps can do greatly, and we sometimes don’t see enough of it – especially recently with Covid filming restrictions, when plots often live in their own ‘bubble’ of characters.…

Nick takes a big risk and leaves witness protection this week, as it dawns on the Platts that young Sam has been kidnapped by Harvey’s thugs! But soon things take another turn when Nick is caught by one of Harvey’s henchmen, who issues him with an ultimatum – Leanne must retract her statement, or the boy gets it! The drama picks up straight from where it leaves off the previous week, with terrified lad Sam trapped in a van. Meanwhile, word reaches Nick that Sam has been taken, and he insists on returning home to join the search for his son – despite Leanne’s warning that he could be walking into a trap. Meanwhile, Sam’s furious mother Natasha is utterly beside herself with worry, as she realises that her boy…

Tyrannical Suki is left gobsmacked this week, when Kheerat reveals Sharon is his mystery lover! Suki can’t believe it as her defiant son announces that he’s caught himself a cougar. Given her own track record with the likes of Peter Beale, Suki has no business judging others about relationships with an age gap! But unsurprisingly, Suki is horrified that Sharon and Kheerat are sleeping together – and makes her disapproval known… However, instead of toeing the family line, Kheerat takes great pleasure in rebelling against his overbearing mum. He’s more than happy to rub Suki’s face in it, enjoying her evident fury and disappointment. To Suki, Kheerat as the eldest son should be making better choices, and Sharon is a ridiculous distraction. But while he might not be ready to…

Emmerdale is to mark Pride for the first time on screen next month, with bosses signing The Vivienne, aka RuPaul’s Drag Race UK series one winner, to lead the celebrations! Playing her fabulous self, The Vivienne will make an appearance as the village church joins forces with the LGBTQ+ community for a day of celebration… “I’m so happy that I will be part of Emmerdale’s first ever Pride,” shares the star. “My role is to officially open the event on stage! It’s great that Emmerdale is doing this – we’re making that little bit of history for all the gays and the LGBTQ+ community, and it’s an absolute honour.” The Vivienne has already filmed her cameo, with Dales stars queuing up for selfies. Roxy Shahidi, who plays Leyla, and Anna…

We’re still wiping away little tears of joy from our eyes on the back of Ben and Callum’s uber-romantic wedding ceremony. With the exception of the subsequent hit-and-run drama, could the pair’s special day have been any more perfect? That’s credit to the stars who play them, Max Bowden and Tony Clay, who agreed to form a Covid-secure bubble so that they didn’t need to follow social-distancing rules on set, and so that they could film THAT kiss… “It was the first time that I’d got to snog Tony for a while, and he loved it,” jokes Max. “We were in a very tight little bubble, and finally got to do some scenes together properly.” “It really made the scenes a lot easier to play out,” adds Tony. “It was…

Is this the hardest thing Lydia has faced since being in the village? I think so. Even when the news came out about her baby, people were supportive, and it felt more of a relief to her. But with this, she hasn’t done anything wrong, so it’s a huge injustice… Emmerdale viewers are gutted for Lydia, do you feel the same way? Honestly, give her a break! Just when you think someone’s life is getting a little better, there’s another setback. I do feel gutted for her, because Lydia’s such a good person and she’ll help anyone who needs it. Sadly, Lydia’s had a run of bad luck. Have you enjoyed playing the storyline? Of course! It’s always great to get your teeth into something, and Lydia seems to run…

“This is the best bum cream there is. Worked wonders on Michael. He used to have a really sore bottom and, from time to time, a bit of a sore winkle as well.” He was 22 at the time. “When you have kids, you picture certain days. First day at school, first day down the footie, seeing them get married.” As opposed to, say, your baby daughter being dangled from a cliff and your son getting shot in the Vic. “Mackenzie gives me the creeps. He’s like that snake in the Jungle Book.” We’d love to hear him sing Trust In Me to his next victim. “You stay away from Asha. You don’t call her, you don’t text her, and if I see your entitled little face anywhere near my…

Diane’s mental health continues to spiral this week, as her baby’s due date gets closer. With not long left until her little one arrives, Diane is thrown into a panic when she realises that there’s still so much to do! Keen to help out, Tony decides to get the kids’ old baby boxes down from the loft, but Diane is sure they’re riddled with germs – and orders him to bin them all! Later, Diane snaps at Verity, leaving her deeply concerned about her sister-in-law. Will Verity finally clock that something is very wrong with Diane?…

Tim invites Elaine to move into No 4 this week, but how will Sally react to living with her mother-in-law? When Tim finds out that Elaine is moving out of Yasmeen’s house and away from the cobbles, he explains that Sally has invited her to live with them. Yet unbeknown to Elaine, Sally has nothing to do with the offer! Elaine is thrilled and happily moves into her new home. But when Tim tucks into a full English breakfast courtesy of his mum, Sally is horrified and reminds Elaine about Tim’s heart condition, leaving Elaine deflated and more unwanted than before. Will Elaine try to make amends in order to carry on living with Tim and Sally? Or will she ultimately decide that it’s time for her to quit Coronation…

Ryder hands in his notice at Salt this week, after Mackenzie fires Chloe from her bar-tending job… With Chloe left humiliated by the sacking, Ryder believes quitting his role is the ultimate romantic gesture. But Chloe isn’t on the same page, and is livid by his hasty resignation. However, the pair make amends, and Mackenzie later offers Ryder his job back, though can’t do the the same for Chloe. Will Ryder return to Salt, or stick by his girlfriend?…

Judy decides to take control of a bad situation this week. Realising that she can’t rely on Zoe to keep her secret, Judy confesses to Gary that she slept with Paul Fisher in return for £2,000. Of course, she explains that she hated every second, she deeply regrets it, and the storyliners made her do it, but Gary rejects her excuses. They’re finished, he insists, and he’s moving out. Will the news that she’s carrying little twin Malletts prompt him to reconsider? Meanwhile, the weeks-old marriage of Nick and Leanne is also heading at full-steam for the rocks. Even Gail feels sympathy for Leanne when she learns how Nick has been trying to trap his father’s killer – and is left sickened once she realises she has served her beloved…

With Phil discovering Callum’s undercover work, I’m completely shocked that the Ballum wedding went ahead without anyone being killed or kidnapped. That on its own deserves a huge round of applause! Rosita, Norwich I would have loved to see a big posh wedding for Ben and Callum, but I suppose social-distancing rules didn’t allow it, so I’ll have to make peace with a small ceremony. They had us on the edge of our seats for the whole episode, wondering if they would both make it down the aisle… Jess, Reading The person Ben and Callum really have to thank for their wedding in EastEnders is Lexi! Talk about sass – that little actress is brilliant. Sally For most of our viewers, the biggest shock of the night actually came from…

This new six-part crime thriller sees Lesley Sharp star as senior police detective Hannah Laing, whose personal and professional lives are overlapping in devastating fashion… “Hannah is not only coming towards the end of her career, but she’s also divorced and has a troubled relationship with her son, Christian [Patrick Gibson], who’s in his twenties,” reveals Lesley. “She’s very private and quite damaged, and finds herself pushed into a territory in which she discovers that she’s capable of things she never realised.” Hannah is embroiled in a secret affair with married colleague Sean Hardacre – played by ex-Corrie star Bill Ward (Charlie Stubbs) – with her life set to unravel further after Sean goes missing. She teams up with non-conformist officer Billy Murdoch (Vincent Regan) in order to launch a…

As Food Unwrapped reaches an impressive 19th series this week, there are still many more mysteries to be uncovered when it comes to our grub. Inside TV got on the phone for a chat with presenter Kate Quilton to find out the foods she’s been scrutinising… “In episode one, we look at how to eat nettles,” she shares. “Most people perceive them to be a pest, but actually they’re incredibly nutritious – hundreds of years ago, they used to be a staple vegetable for us, then they fell out of favour. And we meet a couple of UK champion nettle-eaters: they just eat them raw, and, remarkably, don’t get stung. It’s fascinating.” With so much sustenance available for investigation, how on earth does the team decide which ones are likely…

BULLSEYE! The Brenda-Pollard-Faith love triangle has more sass to it than any romance saga you’ll see from the young folk of today. We can’t get enough of their tug of war, and change our minds as to which one he should choose with every flying insult. Really, the only sensible decision the women could make is to cut Pollard loose and be best pals, while Eric proudly walks away, knowing he’s still got it. Has anyone thought to remind Phil of that time he married an undercover cop who was building a case on him for months? Just saying. Isobel Steele was in a class of her own this week – and there’s not many people in this world who can totally rock a lilac jumpsuit. Huge thanks to Max…

While Sam’s kidnap puts Natasha through the ringer, actress Rachel confesses that crying scenes don’t come naturally to her. However, the fact that young Jude Riordan, who plays Sam, is such a cutie has made summoning tears much easier… “There’s now a photo of Sam in the Platt house, with his cheeky face and wearing his little dicky bow,” grins Rachel. “I only had to look at that to get emotional for this storyline!”…

EastEnders has teamed up with mental health charity Mind, as it tackles the story of Isaac’s schizophrenia. In coming weeks, we’ll see the character displaying symptoms after halting his medication, and witness the stigmatising views from friends and family as a result. The story will also explore attitudes surrounding mental health in African Caribbean communities, where young black men are more likely to be diagnosed with severe problems. “Mind’s expertise has been crucial as we explore Isaac’s experience,” says Walford boss Jon Sen. “As his condition escalates, we’ll see how this affects him and his loved ones following Isaac’s undoubtedly difficult, yet eye-opening, journey.” “I hope it will start a dialogue for people to have conversations about mental health,” adds actor Stevie Basaula, who plays him.…

Plot hole! Emmerdale actor Liam Fox has revealed that bosses were forced to scrap a story for his alter ego, Dan, after he tested positive for Covid-19 in January. “In fairness, I’m one of those characters who is used sparingly,” he concedes. Caught out! Ange will have some explaining to do in Holby, after her affair with Josh is brought to the attention of hospital bosses! What will Hanssen have to say about her fling with a junior staff member? Tour de force! Soap favourite Gaynor Faye – best known for playing Corrie’s Judy Mallett, and Megan Macey in Emmerdale – is to star alongside Walford’s Adam Woodyatt (Ian) in stage thriller Looking Good Dead. The show opens at the Curve, Leicester on 31 July.…

The battle lines are well and truly drawn between Jenny and Sharon this week, after Jenny catches out Sharon on a big lie. “The fling with Ronnie could come back to haunt Jenny!” Although she’s tried to play nice, Jenny has had her doubts about Sharon since day one, and just can’t shake them. So when she digs for information, Jenny’s shocked to discover the surprising link between Sharon and drug boss Harvey – and realises something very dodgy is going on… “Jenny’s kept her eyes and ears open, convinced there’s something amiss,” says our Corrie insider. “Meanwhile, Sharon’s behaviour is getting downright bizarre. This week, for example, she suddenly announces that she’s leaving Weatherfield – before then doing a total U-turn just a few hours later. Soon, she ends…

There’s a shock in store for Mila this week, as her little sister Kioni rocks up on Albert Square! Mila’s at The Prince Albert with girlfriend Iqra when they spot a young girl trying to steal a candle – and Mila reveals that it’s her sister! But will she be pleased to see her sibling? “Although Mila parted on bad terms with her mum, she still cares deeply for Kioni,” our Walford sneak tells us. “She left because she needed to be true to herself, although the last thing she wants is for her sister to be subjected to the same stifling rules that she was. So the fact that Kioni has turned up out of the blue sets alarm bells ringing for Mila.” Taking Kioni to one side, Mila…

Cher continues to taunt Mercy this week, and takes her gaslighting to the next level as she orders a fake pregnancy test. Mercedes is confused when several packages containing baby products arrive to the Dog. Then, Cher dresses as Mercy for her most twisted act yet – leaving Mercedes taking the blame for something she didn’t do! Cher later convinces Mercedes to take a pregnancy test – but little does Mercy know that Cher has given her a fake one……

SAY ‘MOO’! Corrie’s Asha was wearing a cow-print jacket recently, and I loved it! Where can I get one from? Karen, Ireland Sadly, we couldn’t find an exact match – but the ‘Cow Print Button Up Dual Pocket Crop Jacket’ from Soulmia is almost identical! Or if you’d rather a longer jacket, the ‘Cow Print Demin Jacket Animal Spot Coat in White’ from ASOS Marketplace is fab! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I recognised Maddie Heath from Corrie in Three Families the other week. I was wondering what else has the actress been up to since leaving the soap? Mel Maddie was played by Amy James-Kelly, who has gone on to big things since leaving the cobbles. Her first TV gig after Corrie was drama series Jericho, also on ITV. One…

We’ve witnessed many atrocities in soapland over the years, but none quite so horrific as the vicious hate crime attack inflicted on Weatherfield lovebirds Seb and Nina recently, which ultimately led to Seb’s tragic death. While we didn’t see exactly who dished out the fatal blow, we’re pretty sure that nasty Corey was behind it – and his guilty behaviour in the aftermath has done nothing to sway our opinion. There are certainly plenty of people on the cobbles baying for Corey’s blood right now, including his own girlfriend, Asha! But as we join Corrie star Maximus Evans for a chat, he tells us that he’s loving playing the soap bad lad… “I’m definitely the most hated man in Manchester at the moment!” he jokes. “The response from viewers has…

Nicolette gave Aaron and David an ultimatum about their foster sons Brent and Emmett – saying it was either her or them! But when Emmett chooses to leave Erinsborough this week, Aaron and David soon blame her for his departure. “Nicolette had legitimate concerns about her baby’s wellbeing with those boys around,” explains Charlotte Chimes, who plays her. “So there’s a sense of relief when Emmett goes. But Nic isn’t malicious, and it’s not about punishing Brent or Emmett – she’s just a protective first-time mum.” When Nic’s mother Jane returns from holiday, she’s determined to get all the soon-to-be parents back on track. And Charlotte believes that they can eventually get along… “They will make a great team in the end,” says Charlotte. “Those two dads won’t leave anything…

The mystery intruder could be the latest person to join the list of folks condemned to death by Kim Tate! It wasn’t all that long ago that she paid sleazy Al a small fortune to make her a widow. She ordered him to kill husband Graham after being rejected in favour of Rhona. However, Al couldn’t go through with the hit job. If Graham had died at Kim’s request, he’d have been the second husband she’d seen off, as it was her ‘return from the dead’ that caused Frank’s heart attack. He didn’t die immediately, but by ripping out the phone line and kicking away his meds, Kim made sure he had no hope of survival. Will gun-toting Kim add another person to her body count, or is the intruder…

Sharon’s new business venture gets off to a rocky start this week, after hungover Zack makes a show of himself at the gym’s debut opening! Having spent the night before the big launch getting drunk with Martin, Zack is a shambles. So, when Sharon spots him flirting with a potential client, she’s desperate to shoo him away. Seeing what’s going on, Sharon’s lover Kheerat decides to do some damage control before it all kicks off, by trapping wildcard Zack in the locker room. However, when Nancy springs him free, all hell breaks loose just as Sharon makes her big speech! “It’s an unforgettable launch for all the wrong reasons,” grimaces our Walford insider. “Sharon wanted to make her mark in a new industry, not be turned into a laughing stock…

Sharon’s double-life of scheming for nephew Harvey looks set to backfire, judging by our sneaky snaps of her sporting a nasty black eye. This week her connection to Harvey is rumbled by Jenny (see p18), while the drugs boss has been heaping pressure on Sharon to help him get to police informers Leanne and Simon, who are in witness protection. However, if Harvey feels that Sharon is not serving her full potential as an asset to him, will he carry out his threats of violence? “That’s a very strong possibility, or perhaps after Jenny rumbles Sharon, someone on the Street wallops her in retaliation for her betrayal?” poses our Weatherfield insider. “You wouldn’t put it past Leanne to land a sucker punch on her old enemy!” Star Tracie Bennett, who…

Daisy finds a new way to boost her Double Glammy sales this week – by blackmailing love rat Ronnie! Despite the fact that stepmum Jenny trusted her with her shocking secret, Daisy is happy to exploit the information by putting Ronnie under pressure. Ronnie is horrified when Daisy coolly reveals that Jenny’s told her everything, and if he doesn’t give her free business help, she’ll go public. “Ronnie can’t afford to have his dirty washing aired in public – his family already has a low opinion of him,” whispers our source. “Plus, he doesn’t want his new neighbours to label him a homewrecker straight away. Ronnie has to do Daisy’s bidding!” However, after Daisy and Ronnie discuss his involvement in front of Jenny, she begins to smell a rat. Demanding…

Singleton Emma’s romantic luck might be changing this week, as a handsome new man walks into her life. The barmaid is smitten when she meets Curtis, who pops into the Rovers for a drink and proves himself a gentleman. The fella helps Emma move barrels down to the cellar, and she’s dead impressed. As sparks fly between them, it seems there’s potential for romance. The only issue is that Curtis has already made an impression on her dad Steve – and not a good one! “These two men have been on a collision course!” warns our Corrie insider. “It turns out Curtis knocked Steve off his bike and left him in the mud during the recent charity race. Steve’s pride was hurt more than anything, but it’s certainly not a…

And as Elaine enlists Brian’s help to catch the rodents, they stumble upon Cathy’s stash. “Cathy’s hoarding is out of control – her room is full to the ceiling with boxes!” reveals our cobbles spy. “Brian and Elaine can’t believe what they’re seeing and at first, aren’t sure what to make of it. It’s only once Roy sheds some light on Cathy’s previous troubles with hoarding that it all clicks into…

Through his years in Emmerdale, kindly Zak Dingle was famous for striking up unlikely friendships with younger women, from all levels of village society, who saw him a substitute father figure. Zak’s current acolyte is teenage Ollie Reynolds, who is clinging to him like a limpet. This week, Ollie and Zak spend a day at the bookies’, and when her horse comes in at the 3.40 at York, she happily shares her winnings. However, Ollie’s mum Angie is furious to learn that her beloved has been skipping school, and reads Zak the riot act. The fact Angie is a policewoman prompts Zak to reconsider the free power supply he’s rigged-up from the Reynolds’ house. Ollie, sniffing around, tries to help, but is shocked unconscious by a loose junction box, sparking…

“ Bernice does have a habit of leaving daughters in different parts of the world – thank god she only has two!” quips returning Emmerdale star Sam Giles, as she joins us for a chat about what’s in store for Bernice now that she’s back in the village. “Bernice is quite a selfish person, isn’t she? She’s not a natural mother. She’s used to putting her own needs before her children’s, so while she’s saying to herself that she’s come back to the village for Gabby, the truth is that it’s actually quite convenient for her. Because it’s all gone wrong in Australia!” The last time we saw Bernice, she was hotfooting it out of the village with daughter Dee Dee, heading for a one-way flight Down Under – leaving…

While Max is clearly relishing playing bad boy Corey, things could have been very different for him if he’d got the role that he originally went up for in the soap… “I’ve auditioned for Corrie a couple of times throughout the years, and actually got very close to playing Seb when that role first came up,” he reveals. “I was saying to Harry [Visinoni, who played Seb] that it’s quite funny how it’s now come full circle for me. “It was around two years ago that I had the audition for Corey, and I didn’t know what to think as he was younger than me, and I thought I might look a bit silly in school uniform – I’m quite a tall lad!” adds Max. “But it’s been nice for…

Just like the rest of us, the stars of soap are delighted to finally be allowed to see their mates, albeit outside in the chilly British weather! Dales actress Charley Webb (Debbie) shared these snaps of her and hubby Matthew Wolfenden, aka David, celebrating his birthday with their co-stars Emma Atkins (Charity) and Lucy Pargeter (Chas) – and they were clearly all thrilled to be reunited in a social setting after months in lockdown. “We’re sat outside with some blankets and heaters,” Charley shared on her Instagram account. “It’s absolutely freezing but we’re OUT with friends and it’s lovely.” With restrictions having just lifted further, we’re sure Charley will be happy to move meet-ups indoors!…

As A Place In The Sun continues this week, we asked the lovely Jasmine Harman to talk us through her top televisual treats… What has been your favourite drama that you’ve watched recently? It’s A Sin, which was really hard-hitting. Being a kid at that time, I remember that situation unfolding and not realising how dark a time that was for a lot of people, because I was too little to really understand what was going on. It also draws parallels with what’s happening now: when Covid first appeared, nobody knew what it was, or who it affected the worst, or how to avoid catching it. So It’s A Sin really touched a nerve for me in a number of ways. What shows did you enjoy as a child? I…

CORRIE Second chances? IS IT REALLY ALL OVER FOR GARY AND MARIA? Their marriage lasted barely months, before the secrets and lies surrounding Gary became too much for Maria to bear.
