It’s great how the soaps manage to keep coming up with new ideas to keep us glued to our screens. We’ve only just got over the Corrie live episode, and now Emmerdale has announced a special ‘rewind’ edition (see p14), which will not only reveal who shot Robert, but also two other secrets from that night that we know nothing about! It seems a lot of people aren’t acting shifty because they might have shot Robert – some have their own reasons for their odd behaviour. Intriguing! And keeping the Dales theme, over on p44 we catch up with their top bod – and soon to be the new Corrie boss – producer Kate Oates, who gives us a sneak peek at all the upcoming Dales dramas. Meanwhile, by the…

What Kirin doesn’t know is that a huge bombshell is heading his way, thanks to lying Rakesh. Viewers are desperate to know when he’ll discover that baby Johnny is actually his son, and that his own father covered it up. So how does Adam think he’ll react when it all spills out? “I think Kirin is going to feel deep pain,” he predicts. “Who knows if he’ll ever be able to forgive his dad? It’s a big deal because he’s already missed out on part of Johnny’s life. Those early weeks are crucial, more so with a premature baby.” Can Adam see Kirin taking brutal revenge on Rakesh? “He’s a loose cannon, so who knows what he’ll do,” reflects the star. “If you saw this on the news, you’d think…

The Cannings wave goodbye to Naomi this week – after she lands her dream job in LA! Following her split with Paul, Naomi decides to start afresh, applying for a job on the other side of the world. However, with Sheila cautioning her not to get her hopes up, Naomi is left upset that her mum doesn’t have more faith in her abilities – and things get worse when bitter Paul claims that she’ll never amount to anything. After Sheila finds Naomi ready to give up, she’s determined to help – and her efforts pay off when her daughter lands the role! Soon Naomi is bidding farewell to Ramsay Street from the back of a limo… Also this week… Amy warns Kyle not to meddle in her relationship…

BEFORE JOINING Hollyoaks, Kai found fame as Rhys Williams in Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood. And while fans of the show may have been shocked to see Kai take on a role so drastically different from Rhys, they’ve followed him to Hollyoaks village… “I’ll always be ‘Rhys from Torchwood’ to the fans, so at first they found it strange seeing me on Hollyoaks,” he explains. “But they’re such a loyal fan base, and although they didn’t watch Hollyoaks before I joined, I know a lot of them are watching it now. They’re getting some soap alongside their sci-fi – it’s a lovely mix for them!”…

The past 12 months in Emmerdale have had us on the edge of our seats, with Aaron and Robert’s steamy affair, Debbie’s dalliances with Pete and Ross – not to mention the shock helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Ruby and Val! Series producer Kate Oates is responsible for shaking the Dales to its very foundations, and is all set to bring her winning blend of character drama and mayhem to Weatherfield very soon… When did you start planning the big helicopter disaster? It was quite unusual, really, as often these things take months of planning. We were asked by the network to help build the momentum towards ITV’s 60th anniversary, so it was actually quite short notice by normal standards. Luckily we had lots of stories brewing, so…

Would you like Martin and Stacey’s relationship to last? …asks Lorna, via email I do hope it lasts, yeah, because they’re just starting to get comfortable with each other. Martin’s hopeless flirting has gone and they can be a proper couple! I don’t know what’s going to happen with the Kush thing, or how Martin will react when he finds out. But from a selfish point of view, I hope I get to work with Lacey Turner [Stacey] for as long as possible. Are you looking forward to working with a baby on TV? …asks Fiona, via email I’ve got a little boy myself who’s nearly two, and I remember I was all fingers and thumbs – I didn’t really know how to hold him properly. But I’ve got a…

I’ll tell you what I’m hooked on at the moment – Doctor Foster . I absolutely love it, and Suranne Jones is just extraordinary in it. She always plays these very angst-ridden women, but she does it really well. She is great in Scott & Bailey, too. I was hooked on Odyssey , but it really fell off at the end. It was the most unsatisfactory naff ending so they could decide whether or not they wanted to do series two! The Trials Of Jimmy Rose was similar – I loved it, but I wasn’t sure about the ending! I also like Downton Abbey , which seems very unlike me – it’s a strange thing for me to watch, but I love…

Sarah endures more shock and horror this week – as she makes the gruesome discovery that Callum’s body is buried beneath her home! Sarah is already seriously struggling to cope with the enormity of the dreadful situation – and up to this point, she still believes that David dumped Callum in the canal after Kylie killed him. But once Kylie delivers the awful news that Callum is actually stuffed down the drain in Gail’s annexe, the weight of the secret forces Sarah to make an emotional admission to vicar Billy… “Sarah is an absolute mess, and is desperate to talk about everything that’s gone on to someone who’ll understand,” admits Tina O’Brien, who plays the stunned barmaid. “She’s barely holding it together, and is very much the weak link in…

Phil Mitchell has come up against some wrong’uns in the past, but this time his days could be well and truly numbered – thanks to Gavin. “Gavin doesn’t take things quietly,” warns the show’s executive producer, Dominic Treadwell-Collins. “I didn’t want to bring Kathy back just for the sake of it. I wanted to tell a really exciting thriller as well. “Paul Nicholas [Gavin] has created the most manipulative and dangerous EastEnders baddy we’ve ever had,” adds Dominic. “He makes Archie Mitchell look like a Care Bear!” It sounds like Phil will be very lucky to escape Gavin’s evil clutches with his life……

SNEAK PREVIEW! Following a lengthy spell in sunny Spain, Myra McQueen is heading back to Hollyoaks village! After learning about the recent tragedies plaguing the McQueen household, Myra knows it’s high time she came home to fix her broken family. However, she doesn’t return empty-handed. She’s soon joined by her hot new man – toy boy Diego! “Diego’s a free spirit,” reveals Juan Pablo Yepez, who plays Myra’s latest squeeze. “He loves Myra, so he has to follow her when she returns to the village.” Gorgeous Diego is definitely not Myra’s usual type – but Nicole Barber-Lane, who plays her, reckons they’re a match made in heaven. “As far as Myra’s concerned, it is true love,” insists the actress. “It’s a fun, passionate relationship, and the magic she feels with…

FAIR CITY Decco becomes suspicious of Charlotte’s behaviour this week, and follows her to the prison – who is she visiting?

But as disaster strikes, who is affected? Elsewhere, Zinnie leaves poor Angus utterly devastated after she reveals she’s decided to go to Nepal, while Robbie’s rattled as a new hairdresser tries to overshadow his business… THE ARCHERS The Grundys are worried about the…

Bitchy market trader Donna Yates relishes her role as one of the East End’s chief gossipmongers – but this week, she realises how it feels to be the very person who everyone on the Square is whispering about! The Walford rumour mill goes into overdrive after Donna spends the night with Fatboy, leaving the pair to question whether they’re right for one another. But whatever happens between them, actress Lisa Hammond is delighted to shine in a plot that doesn’t involve acting like a total cow… “I still get a lot of people asking me why Donna’s such a bitch,” chuckles the star. “They literally talk to me for two seconds and then say, ‘Well, you’re obviously not like that in real life,’ to which I respond, ‘Just wait until…

When your girlfriend puts her foot down and tells you not to do something, you’ve got two choices: do as you’re told, or be ready to deal with the consequences! Luke decided on the easy option when his girlfriend Maria insisted that he turn his back on his beloved stock-car racing – though that’s now led to its own problems. As we put Dean Fagan, who plays Luke, in the driver’s seat to discuss his character’s predicament, the actor isn’t surprised that disaster lies in store… “If something is in your blood, it’s very hard to give it up – and that’s what driving is like for Luke,” admits the 27-year-old star. “He loves cars, and he loves to race them. But Maria’s not happy and is against Luke racing…

Has Nikhil changed since he’s been away? …asks Sharon from Hartlepool He was always such a specific character with his OCD and his quirks, but he’s been away, coped as a single dad and run businesses of his own. So he’ll be back with a bit more confidence and a bit more stature. Jai won’t know what’s hit him! Will David ever find love again after Alicia? …asks Mia, via email He has to, hasn’t he? David is definitely going to have women casting their eye over him, but he’ll be a bit hapless and won’t realise what’s out there for him. And don’t forget that he and Nikhil were best friends, so we’ll see the return of their nice little bromance. Are you pleased with how Thomas Atkinson [Lachlan]…

HOLLYOAKS’ ESTHER This week’s style watch is all about Jazmine’s flawless sense of style - just like her alter ego. Whether dressing up for a night out or being casual on a day out, the actress is always on point… Any outfit needs a great jacket, and what better way to style this look than with a khaki utility jacket that you’ll use time and time again? You can always rely on Boohoo for an essential item that every woman should have in their wardrobe – and what better offer than this faux-leather skirt? The simplest addition to a great outfit like Jazmine’s is a classic pair of hoop earrings, giving the outfit a nice finishing touch. These chunky block heels will go with everything from day to night and…

April Jackson Boutique owner and enthusiastic food blogger April is quick to step up as project manager for a foodie task in week one, and has huge confidence in her own ideas. But is she willing to listen to what her teammates are telling her? Dan Callaghan Perfume company director and Nick Clegg lookalike Dan is the obligatory ‘nice but useless’ candidate, who spends most of the first task flapping around and failing to win people over with his awkward sales pitches. Joseph Valente It wouldn’t really be The Apprentice without a bit of a wideboy, so step forward plumbing company owner Joseph from Peterborough. He idolises Playboy’s Hugh Hefner and is rarely seen without his cheeky smirk. Ruth Whiteley Both this year’s oldest contestant and the most eye-catching dresser,…

John River isn’t your average detective. That may sound like something we say a lot, but how many other detectives see ‘manifests’ of dead people? He visualises the victims of the cases he’s trying to solve, and uses this to find a unique perspective that will lead him to the solution. Of course, such behaviour is a little unusual… “He suffers from what I would call ‘River’s syndrome’ – he sees and talks to dead people,” chuckles Stellan Skarsgård, who plays him. “It’s not ghosts, it’s all in his head. He functions, but now and then people think they see him talking to himself – but he’s actually talking to someone! So his colleagues know he’s weird. He’s seeing a psychologist, but not very successfully!” River’s closest friend and confidant…

TASK AT HAND Gloriously daft comedy contest Taskmaster has been renewed by Dave for two more series. Greg Davies and Alex Horne will be back, but there’ll be a new cast of comedian contestants. WIFE SUPPORT Ben Miller, Caroline Catz and Jan Francis are to star in new comedy I Want My Wife Back for BBC1.

WHO SHOT ROBERT? Where would the soaps be without an old-fashioned ‘whodunnit?’ mystery? This autumn, we’ve been left to figure out who gunned down top Emmerdale sneak Robert. And you all have your theories... It’s definitely Paddy who did it. He disappeared from the bar that he went to with Marlon, and was next seen wandering in the dark without his glasses. But don’t ask me where he got the gun from. Do vets have guns? Jem, via email I’m sure some vets do, Jem, but I don’t think it’s Paddy’s style... Next! It has to be someone with the combination to the Home Farm safe where the gun was hidden. It must be Chrissie! Anna, Bristol But isn’t Chrissie too obvious? Chas spent an episode…

ARIES 21 MARCH - 20 APRIL  You’ll feel like you’re in a bit of a minefield at work this week, so tread carefully! There’ll be problems aplenty, but if you’re cool and diplomatic, you’ll avoid any accidental detonations. TAURUS 21 APRIL - 21 MAY  A comment by a friend or workmate may leave you feeling like a Neanderthal this week, and questioning your openness to change. We need these moments to reflect, so use it to your advantage. GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUNE  Those familiar streets and places will take on a different look this week, as a decision or change of heart leads you to view the world through less cynical eyes. Long may your new perspective continue! CANCER 22 JUNE - 23 JULY  It’s just going to…

BULLSEYE! If Max’s great escape from court hadn’t already amused us enough, the sight of him being carted off to jail while hollering, “Bobby did it! Bobby did it!” to the entire Square was absolutely hilarious. And what’s more, no one believed the poor sod! Debbie to Belle on relationships: “My advice would be to take things slow, have fun, and worry about the happy-ever-after later.” Ha ha! What does Debbie know about ‘slow’, ‘fun’ or ‘happy-ever-after’? Whitney’s ‘classy’ new look really follows you round the room, doesn’t it? Sally might think she’s falling apart, but actually this is how we look every Monday night while watching Corrie. And although we liked Sally’s bounce-back proposal, we wondered: what does Justin Bieber have to do with it? Kylie wittily summed up…

How did it feel to be a big part of the live episode? I felt really honoured! I’ve not been back on the show that long – so to be trusted with such a massive story, with such amazing actors as Paula Lane [Kylie], Jack P Shepherd [David] and Sean Ward [Callum], was a real honour. I feel very lucky and I really enjoyed it – it was a great experience. How did you react to what was planned for Callum and Sarah? I felt physically sick! There was the fight and so much dialogue between them. I was very worried about getting my lines wrong. What was the atmosphere like on the Platt house set as you waited to go live? It was extremely tense – Sean stayed away…

Kieron Richardson, who plays Ste, is hoping his character’s latest relationship will grow to be as popular as another of the most talked-about soap affairs this year. He feels a blended name equals success… “The relationship between Emmerdale’s Aaron and Robert has attracted such a massive following,” says the actor. “People are calling it ‘Robron’! “We genuinely worry about how the audience will react to our scenes – and nowadays when fans are supportive of a relationship in a soap, the couple usually seem to get a special name. Apparently fans are calling Ste and Harry ‘Starry’, so hopefully that means they really like us!”…

Sonya faces a life-and-death drama this week, when she’s bitten by one of Australia’s deadly redback spiders! Initially, the busy mum has no idea that she’s been the victim of a bite, and carries on with her daily business. But as her symptoms worsen and she becomes increasingly ill, Sonya is unable to pick up wheelchair-bound Toadie from work – leaving him desperate to get home to his family and find out what’s wrong… “The first Toadie hears about the bite is from Karl,” explains Ryan Moloney, who plays him. “He feels totally inadequate that he isn’t able to reach his wife in a crisis. She really needs him to man up, and unfortunately he can’t.” Luckily for Sonya, she has a doctor living next door – and trusty Karl…

Mo is forced to confront her past this week, after her old friend Sorcia turns up at the hospital. Holby viewers will remember that Mo helped Sorcia to have a child by agreeing to be a surrogate for her. So imagine the surgeon’s horror this week, when Sorcia and her young son, William, are brought on to the ward after being involved in a serious road accident. With no time to lose, Mo is tasked with performing life-saving surgery on Sorcia’s partner, Brett, who was badly hurt in the crash. But when Sorcia herself is rushed into theatre for an emergency procedure, she asks Mo to take care of William if anything should happen to her. Can Mo save her pal’s life? And what does the future hold for William…

“ELLEN THOMAS, who plays my screen mum Claudette, is really lovely. She’s very soft, but I don’t mean that she’s wet! I call her ‘Mummy’ when I see her, and we always have a hug. Ellen’s been in this business a long time and certainly knows her stuff.” “LUISA BRADSHAWWHITE [who plays Tina] is so random – but that’s what I love about her. She’s so full of energy that I’m not laughing at her, I’m just giggling at her mad ways! She’s zany and comes out with some brilliant things.” “I’VE GOT GIRL CRUSHES on Shona McGarty [Whitney] and Maddy Hill [Nancy]. They’re both gorgeous and just generally very cool people. Shona’s a dark horse. She seems very quiet when you first meet her – but once you get…

As far as the residents of Hollyoaks know, Pete Buchanan is the McQueens’ knight in shining armour, and an all-round nice guy. However, viewers have seen what lies beneath the facade and watched him subject his wife-to-be’s youngest daughter, Cleo, to sickening sexual abuse. Many actors would have reservations about being associated with such a vile character, but Kai Owen – who plays Pete – jumped at the chance to take on the brave role… “This is a great storyline to be involved in,” says the star, who joins us for a chat during his lunch break. “When I was first offered the job it was obviously a lot to take in, and I remember thinking, ‘Wow, this is going to be hard-hitting’ – but I didn’t think twice. I…

Actress Samia recently gave birth to a little boy, who weighed in at 8lbs 9oz. The gorgeous Street star is engaged to her former Dancing On Ice partner Sylvain Longchambon, and the couple have named their baby Yves Joseph. “[Sylvain] and I are so happy and in love beyond words with our beautiful boy,” tweeted Samia, who is already mum to five-year-old daughter Freya. Samia has also revealed that her son is called Yves in honour of Sylvain’s brother, with his middle name Joseph a tribute to her father, who passed away in 2009. And it’s safe to say Yves’ daddy is as pleased as punch to have welcomed him into the world… “I’m so happy and in love with our beautiful boy, and so proud of [Samia] (and in…

Cindy from Hollyoaks says… “Don’t store at room temperature!” “When me and my two mates accidentally killed my one-time lover Dr Browning, we found ourselves in a terrible situation. Where to pop him while we made proper plans to dispose of his corpse? He’d quickly get stinky, you see. Being the manager of a shop, I soon realised the deep freeze would keep him fresh. Some people did say the lasagnes tasted funny after, but I just blamed the horsemeat scandal. They were none the wiser.” Lucas from Walford says… “Find a secluded spot!” “Time is at a premium when you’ve got a corpse on your hands, but don’t just dump it in the first place you see. When I murdered by wife-to-be’s ex-hubby on the way to the wedding,…

We can’t start any day without running a brush though our hair – and nothing gets through those locks like a Tangle Teezer! Maintaining beautiful voluminous hair in the British weather isn’t an easy job. Enter Batiste XXL Volume spray – a vital morning timesaver! Keeping those pesky flyaway hair strands in place can be a nightmare, but with a few sprays of Silvikrin’s maximum hold hairspray, you’ll feel like you’ve just stepped out of the salon. Creating a topknot can be tiresome and frustrating, but it’s made that bit easier with a hair doughnut. It does all the work for you!…

WE’VE ALREADY grown quite fond of this new sitcom from GOLD, even though we’re only three episodes into it. Coupling’s Sarah Alexander plays Marley, a woman who has faced multiple bereavements, with her husband, lover and vicar all popping their clogs. Now she’s stuck dealing with their spirits. Thankfully the show embraces its own daftness, and plays up the odd couple aspect that comes from all of them being forced to put up with each other. Ex-EastEnder Jo Joyner, in particular, is great fun as the spacey, lovelorn vicar.…

“ALL OF THE CAST COULD HAVE GONE OUT IN EAST LONDON AND NO ONE WOULD HAVE BATTED AN EYELID!” The Kennedys star Emma Pierson thinks the comedy show’s 70s fashions are bang on trend right now “I THINK I’VE GOT THE BEST JOB ON TV, BECAUSE IT COVERS EVERYTHING FROM SYRIA TO KIM KARDASHIAN’S BOTTOM.” Lorraine Kelly still gets the same buzz every day from presenting her own show “I WOULD BE A BIT PATHETIC - I HAD A QUICK GO AT THE CROUCHING CHALLENGE AND I GAVE UP AS SOON AS I FELT PAIN.” Richard Bacon on why he’s hosting Eternal Glory and not taking part… “JOEY ESSEX’S WORKINGS OUT WERE ABSOLUTE MADNESS BUT HE SEEMED TO GET THE RIGHT ANSWER!” Paddy McGuinness was surprised by the ex-TOWIE star’s…
