“Football didn’t come home – but the soaps have!” Okay, so football didn’t come home, but the soaps have… to their normal days and times, thank goodness! It’s been a bit of a nightmare for us soap fans over the last few weeks. You know what I mean – it’s the end of a hard Wednesday, you’ve done your chores, and you’re looking forward to sitting down at 7pm to see what Cain is up to in Emmerdale. You get your bum on the sofa, turn on the telly, and see that rolling green… but it’s not the Emmerdale village, it’s the footie pitch! Yes, I know there’s catch-up (with EastEnders finishing at almost 10pm on some nights, it was well past my bedtime, so I’ve become a dedicated next-morning…

Victoria panics when she first senses a frisson with Matty, doesn’t she? She does. She starts to feel things, and that’s a shock to her. It comes out of the blue, and she doesn’t know how to process it, or what to do with it. It’s the early stages, but it’s having that closeness with someone again after being on her own. Having her best friend back makes her feel good again – but she’s a bit like, “Wow”… The fact that Matty’s brother is Victoria’s husband Adam makes things a whole lot more complicated, doesn’t it? There’ll be a fair few obstacles for Matty and Victoria to face as it’s not the most conventional of relationships. There’s plenty to be unpacked – but that’s all to come. I’m sure…

Albert Square is set to wave goodbye to one of its biggest characters, following the news that Bonnie Langford – who plays Carmel – is leaving EastEnders ! “I’ve had a wonderful three-and-a-half years, and it’s been a privilege to be part of such an iconic show,” explains the actress, who is at the heart of the soap’s hard-hitting knife crime plot, which saw Carmel tragically lose her son, Shakil. “My current storyline has been an incredible experience, and I’m honoured to be part of something so powerful. “I’ve known since the beginning of this storyline that it would always lead to Carmel taking a break from Walford,” adds Bonnie. “I’m not leaving yet, though, and there’s plenty more to come from Carmel.” Kush’s mum leaves Albert…

Actors often tell us that shooting a soap wedding can be a long and arduous task. But it’s clear that both Sophie and Jackson had a ball filming Ziggy and Brody’s special occasion… “It was unlike any experience that I’ve ever had,” gushes Sophie. “It was unbelievable in the lead-up – to go to dress fittings, have trial hair and make-up, and I was even really excited to get a ride in the dream car!” “Apart from the 42-degree heat, it was a dream,” agrees Jackson, with a smile. “Everything just fell into place seamlessly. Days like that remind you of how lucky you are to have this job!”…

Rebecca’s only been safe so far because she has been suffering from amnesia. But now all bets are off.”…

“I feel sad about selling the Rovers.” “Is there a problem with my attire?” “Change can be difficult. We all take comfort from the familiar. Take this cardigan, for example. I must have had it for 10 years, but I have another identical one for when this one expires.” Ah, Roy. Truly a fixed point in an ever-changing age. “Not if the brief was ‘Mr Tumble meets Cocoon’.” He’s being sarcastic, but we’d totally watch that movie. “I should have heard the alarm bells. Whenever anything is going right, life just steps in and smacks me straight in the mouth.” “So? Smack it back.” Turn the other cheek? Phil Mitchell is more of an Old Testament kind of a dude. “TVR. It’s tequila, vodka and the roughest energy drink you…

“Claudia is quite a clever lady – but she’s a bit lonely as well” This year has been all about perfect pairings, from Love Island’s Dani and Jack to HRHs Harry and Meghan. On the romantic front, Corrie’s Audrey is surely destined to recouple with naughty Lewis, but before that, prepare yourself for a partnership to truly celebrate – the return of Aud and Claud. That’s right, the fabulous Rula Lenska is back as Claudia Colby, the woman who Audrey loves and hates in equal measure. Expect big hair, big glasses of bubbly, and big trouble, as these frenemies light up the screen together. “I’m absolutely thrilled to be back!” says Rula, who last appeared on the Street in 2011. “Claudia and Audrey’s relationship is such an unusual one –…

How has this plot been for you? I was full of excitement when I read the scripts, because it’s nice to do something different. You go through phases where you’re just being a gobby cow, but this has so much more substance. It’s been exquisitely written and brilliantly dealt with. What did you think when you first met James? I was blown away! We had instant chemistry in the audition. He nailed it in one. I knew it was going to be something really special. What does Charity think of Ryan’s friendship with Ross? She’s beyond worried, as she has this child with Ross that she’s not even explained to Ryan yet! It’s quite funny in the pub – she’s trying to listen to what Ross is telling him. She’s…

1 Fiona Sarah Wade was born on 20 March 1979 in Enfield, London – the only child to her English father, Colin, and her Filipino mother, Terisita. She always had ambitions to pursue an acting career, claiming she was inspired by the TV show Fame when she was just three years old! She starred in 35 episodes of CBBC’s school drama Grange Hill, playing pupil Joanna Day from 1996 to 1998. After this early success, she appeared in US drama 24Seven, and the TV credits were soon piling up – including Doctors, Holby City, Wire In The Blood, Waterloo Road, Silent Witness, Casualty, and Law & Order: UK! 2 Fiona made her first appearance as Priya Sharma in Emmerdale in 2011, taking over the role from…

“What’s best about having brothers younger ?” Kayla’s been leading a secret life while plotting revenge on Bethany and Craig! But there’s nowhere for Mollie to hide as she faces our readers’ questions… “Were you worried about there being any kind of backlash against Kayla when Corrie viewers found out who she really was?” I was a little bit concerned. But I think that with the power of social media now, the viewers see past the character, and they see you as a person. Me and Lucy [Fallon, who plays Bethany] get along really well, and there’s been quite a few times where we’ve been on nights out in Manchester together, or we’ve been to an event together – so hopefully people will see that we…

“JEAN IS ESSENTIALLY A SPINSTER AND HAS NO LIFE...” JULIE GRAHAM REVEALS HOW HER SERIES CAME BACK FROM CANCELLATION – AND WENT STATESIDE... Once upon a time, if your favourite show got cancelled, that was it. You watched the final episode, you mourned, and you moved on. But things are different now: passionate fan campaigns have convinced broadcasters to change their minds, or streaming services like Netflix might step in to order another season. Even so, there was one resurrection that took us completely by surprise: the news that ITV’s The Bletchley Circle, in which a group of former Second World War code breakers reunited to solve crimes, would be returning four years after its initial cancellation, with a new spin-off in…

PAULA IN BOOTS Ex-Corrie star Paula Lane (Kylie Platt) has signed up for the UK tour of the award-winning musical Kinky Boots – and she’ll be showing off her singing and dancing skills in the role of assembly-line worker Lauren. I ve got my own pair of red boots for the show!” says Paula. “I do miss playing Kylie, but it’s good for me to stretch my legs!” LESLIE’S FINAL ROLE You’ll soon be able to see the final work of the late Leslie Grantham, aka EastEnders’ Dirty Den. Shortly before his death last month, Leslie completed work on British movie The Krays: Dead Man Walking. In the flick about the notorious Kray twins, Leslie plays Detective Chief Superintendant Nipper Read, and he’s joined by fellow ex-Walford star Rita Simons…

“Anyone who gets in Kayla’s way is in danger…” MOLLIE This is the horrifying moment when poor Bethany ends up bound and gagged – after vengeful Kayla loses the plot and takes her hostage! The girls have been heading for an almighty showdown ever since viewers learned that Kayla is the daughter of Sergeant Neil Clifton – the police officer who raped Bethany as she was being groomed by evil Nathan Curtis. Sadly, Kayla has fallen for her father’s sick lies and believes that he is innocent – so after Bethany happens to turn up at her house looking for Craig, and realises who Kayla really is, it doesn’t take long for events to spiral out of control… “Bethany is absolutely terrified – she thinks she is going…

As Tina is hauled away by police, the Carters are plunged into yet another crisis. But when the going gets tough, this clan gets tougher – so might Mick or Shirley be prepared to step up in Tina’s place? Shirley’s no stranger to serving time for one of her nearest and dearest. She took the rap when Mick was facing a prison sentence after Aunt Babe’s illicit boozy breakfasts in the Vic prompted a fine he couldn’t pay. Shirley endured three months behind bars – but was ready to face jail again when Tina accidentally hit Janet Mitchell with her car. So could it be Mick’s turn this time? He was once Stuart’s closest pal, after all. And while the truth behind Stuart’s stint in juvenile detention remains a mystery,…

The Rovers Return will be sold to a new owner in the coming weeks – but it’s not a forgone conclusion as to who will take control of the Street’s beloved boozer! Tabloid reports claim that Johnny Connor will pip prospective buyers Henry and Gemma to the post, snapping up the pub for sentimental reasons – it was the last place that he saw his son, Aidan, before he died. But Johnny could potentially spark one of the biggest Weatherfield catfights of all time… “It’s Jenny in the red corner versus Gemma in the blue!” poses our Corrie insider. “Both women will be champing at the bit to take their place behind the bar as landlady, and be Queen of the Street. They’ve had their squabbles in the past, but…

Reality bites!  Corrie star Sue Nicholls (Audrey) has rejected offers to appear on Celebrity Big Brother as she thinks she’d make a horrible housemate. We don’t believe it for a second! Return of an angel? Former Home and Away star Melissa George is also in demand – stating that the Aussie soap has approached her to reprise the role of Angel Parrish. Do it! Mini Morgan! There’s a wake-up call coming for Home and Away’s Mason, when he finds out that new girlfriend Dempsey is expecting his baby! “I’ve got a big coming-of-age storyline,” says Orpheus Pledger, who plays him.…

Following the kidnap of her baby daughter Susie, Eva packs her bags and leaves Coronation Street this week, leaving Leanne and Toyah feeling shocked and heartbroken – as they discover her letter telling them that she’s gone and isn’t coming back! “It’s been a particularly turbulent time for Eva in recent weeks,” sighs our Coronation Street spy. “She decides that a clean break might be in everyone’s best interests, including her own! But her exit still causes ripples across Weatherfield – and another person who’s stunned by her decision is her ex-boyfriend Adam.” Shortly before she drops her bombshell, Eva meets with Adam, who offers her the chance to stay in a room in his flat. Although she is touched by his kind gesture, she turns him down – and…

Can he join the dots and work out the truth? He’s already narrowly escaped becoming Lachlan’s victim himself, but Robert’s dogged pursuit of the truth could still cost him everything. He refuses to believe Rebecca’s been blithely texting her nephew on his birthday, yet hasn’t checked on how Seb’s doing. So this suspicious activity on her phone makes Robert even more worried about her welfare. Robert begins to look for clues and starts by combing through Rebecca’s bedroom. When he stumbles upon a vital piece of evidence, he realises there’s something very fishy going on, so will he link it back to Lachlan? The relationship between Robert and his former stepson has been strained for a long time, and there’s been plenty of suspicion over Lachlan’s odd behaviour before. But…

Harry continues to hide his prostitution from Ste this week – but is it a matter of time before he gets found out? It hasn’t escaped Ste’s notice that his fiancé keeps disappearing at odd times of day – but when Harry spins him a line about looking for his dad Tony, Ste has no reason not to trust him. However, after Harry sneaks off to visit James in prison, having expressly promised Ste that he’ll have nothing more to do with him, is Harry about to be caught out?…

MERCY’S SECRET RETURN! It was the moment Hollyoaks fans had been waiting for, as Mercedes McQueen roared back into the village, leaving all kinds of chaos in her wake! And she kicked off one hell of a drama… I can’t believe Hollyoaks teased us with that quick glimpse of Mercedes before she drove off into the sunset again! I’m dying to know what she’s been up to for all this time – wherever she’s been, I bet she’s been causing carnage! | George I love seeing Mercy back in Hollyoaks. And bringing Carl Costello back was a brilliant idea. But how come Bobby knows who Myra is? I had no idea they had met. | Zoe , West Yorkshire She’s his grandma! But some of you are much more excited…

If you’re looking for stories from diverse perspectives, soap is the place to be. Our best-loved shows offer big plots to people of different ages, races and sexualities – that’s why they attract such great talent. And Rula says older female actors don’t get many chances elsewhere in the industry. “There are many more parts for men – it’s much harder for older actresses,” she explains. “For the moment, any decent parts for older women go to about five or six of the best-known British actors, and that’s just the way it is. “I think we need more female writers and female plots – particularly middle-aged and older stories. Also, if you look at the demographics of people who watch Corrie, I’d say 75 per cent are older. So, it’s…

There’s a real treat in store for Aussie soap fans this week, when former Home and Away star Debra Lawrance (Pippa Ross) joins Neighbours as Susan’s flighty sister Liz. Inside Soap was delighted to chat with Debra about switching soaps – and as she tells us, Liz is about as far away from her famous Summer Bay alter ego as she could possibly get… Hey, Debra! How did the role of Liz come about for you? They asked me – and I said yes! I was doing a bit of coaching with the young actors on Neighbours, so I was around the place anyway. I said yes as they’re a lovely bunch of people, and Jackie Woodburne [Susan]…

Michelle Keegan [who played the Street’s Tina McIntyre]. Since I was little, I’ve looked up to her in the respect of wanting to play the kind of character she did, and follow in her footsteps. I think she’s a phenomenal actress. I would love to do something in the US, but she’s my British inspiration. Every week, we put your questions to a star of the soaps. Look out for requests on our Facebook page, or email your questions to youask@insidesoap.co.uk, putting the actor’s name in the subject line. Our favourite question each week will win a £20 prize!…

While it’s all about the bride at weddings, ensure you’re still turning heads as a guest to the big day, like Nadine in this gorgeous get-up...…

I really enjoyed BBC2’s The Assassination Of Gianni Versace . It was fascinating being explored from the points of view that they chose. I also loved Feud: Bette And Joan as well. I couldn’t take my eyes off it! Comedies have really kept me going – I enjoyed This Country, and I was really tickled by Two Doors Down. I like the normalness and non-silliness of it – it’s just six people sitting around a living room making eyes or banter, with no bells and whistles. I love foreign dramas, it’s really hard to stay away once you get sucked in! There’s one called Money Heist on Netflix about eight of the best con men getting together to do a heist in the Bank of Spain. I thought…

It’s been a real delight to have former runner-up of The Great British Bake Off , Tamal Ray, back on our screens hosting Channel 4’s health magazine series Live Well For Longer alongside presenter Kate Quilton. But surely because Tamal works as a doctor in his day job, it means he’s off to a healthy head start already… right? “It really made me reflect on my own health,” Tamal tells Inside TV. “You’d think that because I’m a doctor and Kate’s a journalist that I would be the healthy one – but no, absolutely not! It’s not that I’m particularly crazy and wild, but it made me look at taking care of myself a little better.” Across the series, Tamal and Kate will…

Inside Soap recently brought you the news that EastEnders is to introduce Mel Owen’s former husband, Ray Kelly – and now we can reveal who is set to play him! Actor Sean Mahon, who some readers will recognise for playing maverick cop Brian McGonigle in the Irish police drama Red Rock, is to take on the role – and is already filming… “I remember watching the very first episode of EastEnders back in 1985,” shares the star. “Little did I think I would be roaming the streets of Walford and hanging out in the Queen Vic all these years later. “Ray is not one to tread lightly, and his arrival to the Square will cause shock waves for many of the residents,” adds Sean.…

“It’s a day of love, laughter and awkward jokes” JACKSON The scene is set for a gorgeous wedding in the Bay this week, as Ziggy and Brody’s loved ones gather to watch them become man and wife! But given that Ziggy only proposed to her fella so that her poorly mum Maggie could be there for her big day, are the couple rushing into marriage too soon? “I guess they’re just doing the best they can in the only way they know how,” explains Jackson Heywood, who plays the groom. “It may all be a bit rushed, but Brody couldn’t be happier. Ziggy is the most positive thing to ever happen to him, and to know that she wants to spend the rest of her life with him…

“I think there’s a real chemistry between Steve McDonald and Seb’s mum Abi. She’s also very much his type. It would be a brilliant feud with Tracy!” …says reader Debbie from Durham “The custody battle for baby Abi should get even more complicated! Remember that her grandfather is none other than Simon ‘Wicksy’ Wicks. Let’s bring him back from New Zealand!” …pleads reader Tami from Slough “I reckon that chef Rustie Lee would be perfect to play Jessie’s mum in Emmerdale . Imagine that laugh echoing round the Woolpack!” …threatens reader Bob from London “ Carl Costello’s transgender son, Jason, could come back to the village looking for his dad – it would be great to see what life is like for him now he’s finally living…

When Jean finds Stacey’s old christening gown this week, she lands on an idea! Wouldn’t it be wonderful to organise a family celebration, by having Stacey’s children christened? But when she mentions the plan to her daughter, moody Stace couldn’t care less! Undeterred, Jean instead badgers Martin about her plan, explaining that she just wants to do something fun to bring the whole family together. After a bit of thought, he agrees that it would be a nice thing to do. However, when Stace finds out her hubby has given the green light to Jean’s scheme to have the kids christened without consulting her first, she flies off the handle in typical fashion! Can Martin calm down his wife and talk her round – or will Jean’s dream of bringing…

Gemma begins getting excited about all the things she’s going to do with the Rovers Return this week – but has she fallen so head-over-heels in love with Henry that she’s blinded to his true nature? Gemma’s romance with the smooth-talking Lothario is now powering ahead, shattering her lovesick pal Chesney’s hopes of finding happiness with her. Meanwhile, to prove his sincerity, Henry has stated his intention to buy the Rovers for Gemma, so the pair can run it as a business together. As she’s been besotted with Henry for some time, Gemma is over the moon to finally be in a full-on relationship with the flashy fella – and the chance to be the Rovers’ landlady is the icing on the cake! However, Gemma’s close friends Cathy and Chesney…

SAME FRAN? It’s been great to see Hollyoaks harking back to the good old days, with Nancy coming face to face with her sister Becca’s killer. But is it the same actress playing Fran who played her before? | Jean It is indeed! Actress Donna Henry recently reprised the role of the killer, after first playing Fran back in 2007. CAIN’S BABY HEARTACHE? When Chas told Cain about her baby’s illness, he likened it to his own experience when he and Moira lost a baby. I don’t remember that at all! When was it, and what happened to their child? | Nicola, Dartford Moira fell pregnant back in 2013, before she and Cain were married. She didn’t think he’d want a baby, but he was actually over the moon at…

“There are many issues getting in the way of Ryan and Charity” To be honest, I’d never really watched soaps before!” declares Dales star James Moore (Ryan), as we meet him at the soap’s studios in Leeds for our first face-to-face chat. “So when I got the audition for Ryan, I thought, ‘Right, I’d better start watching Emmerdale’! I was instantly blown away by how good everyone was – the acting is amazing, the storylines are incredibly well-written, and there’s so much going on all the time!” While we sit nattering on the set of Debbie’s house, it’s clear to see that James is well and truly an Emmerdale convert. He arrived on our screens as Charity’s long-lost son Ryan back in May, and although things didn’t go well between…

It’s been almost 10 years since Pippa last made a visit back to Summer Bay – and Debra reckons that the chances of her much-loved alter ego returning are pretty slim, as she’s not a fan of the modern-day Bay… “It’s a different show now – Pippa might be horrified by some of the behaviour!” gasps the star. “There’s a lot of beer and wine drunk, and we didn’t used to do that. And guns and drugs and violence – scary stuff. We have to remember it’s a 6pm timeslot, and kids are watching. “I’d return if they needed to bring back Pippa, as it’d be silly for her to be played by someone else,” she adds. “But Alf’s living in her house now, so I don’t really know where…

WE WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED if some viewers tuned in to the first part of Picnic At Hanging Rock and thought “What’s going on here?” It’s definitely a show that stands apart from the crowd, with a dreamlike sheen over the top that constantly leaves us asking whether anything we see is real – which works brilliantly for the tale of four women vanishing on a school trip at the turn of the 20th century. It’s also a fantastic vehicle for Natalie Dormer, who plays head teacher Mrs Appleyard with an authoritative demeanour, while hinting at her character’s insecurities and mysterious background.…

FOOD FOR THOUGHT BBC2’s hit restaurant investment show Million Pound Menu, hosted by Fred Siriex, will return for a second series.

JENNIE McALPINE (Fiz Stape, Corrie ) OUT The star recently revealed that she is pregnant with her second child, which will mean she’ll be taking a break from our screens. The baby is due later in the year, and Jennie has been explaining how she and the Corrie producers have been disguising her bump. “We ordered a bigger handbag for Fiz to keep it covered!” she said. “No doubt I’ll be doing a lot of walking around with a washing basket, too. Luckily, Fiz wears a lot of baggy clothes and spends a lot of time behind a sewing machine, so no one can really see my stomach!” Later in 2018 GEORGE BANKS (Henry Newton Corrie ) OUT  It looks as if Henry’s return…

BULLSEYE! Graham speaks every line so carefully, so intensely, so… manfully , we always come over a bit giggly. He’s definitely the best butler-cum-bodyguard the Dales has ever seen, and is surely primed for soap’s first ever real-time episode, where he saves the entire village with his special ops training, like Jack Bauer in 24 . Emmerdale bosses – make it happen! We know Craig is new to the dating game, but Kayla being willing to snog him straight after he’d polished off a whole doner kebab should have rung alarm bells. She’s a martyr to her cause! Has EastEnders’ audience research department identified a rise in viewing figures every time Martin gets naked? It’s become an almost daily treat!…
