It’s all go in soapland at the moment – and it’s certainly keeping us busy! From Corrie’s wedding crash drama to Kim Tate’s rebirth – and Joe Tate’s shock death! – we’re strugging to cram it all into the magazine right now. “I love that our soaps can tell such different stories” We’ve loved the crash-bang-wallop of all those plotlines, but over on EastEnders, the episode showing us both sides in the wake of Ruby’s rape was as gripping as it was important. Last, but certainly not least, the Hollyoaks episode revealing the inner turmoil of Cleo’s bulimia was raw and powerful. I love that our soaps can tell such different, but equally brilliant, stories. While this drama is the lifeblood of Inside Soap, we’re also being kept busy with…

There’s more drama for Ken this week, when Audrey tells him that she is the subject of his salacious tales from the past! The budding author tells her that he got his inspiration from Claudia’s anecdotes, but he didn’t realise the person she was talking about was Audrey! “I love playing the drama and all the big scenes with the Barlows, though the comedy has been good to do too!” chuckles Bill. “After a full day, it lifts your mood. It’s really nice to do.” After Ken’s revelation, Audrey soon turns her fury on Claudia. Will Ken be able to calm the feud between the two ladies? “Rula [Lenska, who plays Claudia] is lovely,” shares Bill. “I’m so lucky with the people I work with, and she’s one of them.…

Emmerdale viewers can rest assured that prison isn’t going to stand in the way of Kim Tate’s epic return to Home Farm – as Inside Soap can confirm that she will return as a regular character next year! “Although Kim’s initial comeback was fleeting, she caused so much mischief and chaos that we couldn’t resist bringing her back,” explains the soap’s executive producer, Jane Hall. “Ms Tate is just getting warmed up for an explosive 2019, that will see her hell-bent on getting exactly what – and who – she wants.” After ordering the death of Joe Tate and being flung over a balcony at the hands of Faith, Kim was sent straight back to jail as the police learned that she’d breached the…

Danger for Iain? Casualty bosses have teased perilous times for Iain, who will continue to struggle with his guilt over Sam’s death, and wind up surrounded by flames in a burning building! Is it the end for him, too? Put a ring on it! Wedding bells could be on the horizon for Summer Bay newbie Chelsea. Star Ashleigh Brewer has been papped on set wearing an engagement ring, indicating that Chelsea and ex-flame Colby will reunite! News from Leah Former Dales star Leah Bracknell – aka Zoe Tate – has shared some good news. It’s been two years since she was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and her illness is now stable. Sending lots of love from Inside Soap, Leah.…

Brian’s big plans for the school’s holiday club suffer a setback this week, when Jack suddenly becomes distressed! After the youngster is taken home early by dad Kevin, Brian lands in hot water with his new boss, Phil. The recently returned teacher is mortified as Phil takes him to task for Jack’s upset – making it clear that he’s totally unimpressed with Brian’s handling of the emotional situation. Poor Bri is left feeling like a total failure – but can he manage to explain himself?…

When Nick Pickard joins Inside Soap for a long overdue catch-up, he’s a little sleepy – and not just because he’s been working through the night for Hollyoaks’ ‘Storm Week’. “I took my mum to the airport at 5am, as she’s off to Las Vegas!” reveals the 43-year-old star, who’s been playing Tony Hutchinson for the past 23 years. “I’ve never been myself, but I’d like to go. Maybe I’ll go if I ever have a stag do. I’ve been married five times on this show, yet never in real life!” We assure Nick that Tony’s colourful track record with women is nothing to feel envious of, and the actor is happy to share that he has a new girlfriend who he’s…

Ever since Leyla returned to the Dales a few weeks ago – giving David the shock of his life in the process – we’ve been wondering exactly what it is that’s brought her back to the village. More specifically, there’s the enigma of just what she was up to while she was away in Greece. And after she talks on the phone to mystery man Clive, asking him when he’ll be coming to join her, we finally start to get the answers to some of our questions. As Inside Soap caught up with actress Roxy Shahidi, aka Leyla, we asked her who this fella Clive is. It seems that he’s in a relationship with Leyla, but how did they meet, are they still together, and is it true that they’re…

In times of crisis, nurse Duffy is there for everyone. But she’s now embroiled in tough times of her own, and has never felt more alone. With her husband Charlie oblivious to how much she’s struggling, Duffy is forced closer to her former flame Bill this week. As we catch up with Cathy Shipton – who plays Duffy – she admits that it doesn’t bode well… Sum up how Duffy is feeling. For the past few months, Duffy hasn’t been herself. She’s gone to the doctor, who sees her as someone who works in a high-pressure environment, and has diagnosed her with depression. But she hasn’t been sharing any of that with Charlie. I’m sure that if she did, he’d say, “Come on, let’s get our lives together and sort…

Going on a trip to Alton Towers’ special Scarefest event seemingly held no fear for Corrie’s Simon Gregson (Steve) and his family – but then, how could the man brave enough to cheat on Tracy Barlow possibly be scared of anything? Simon was joined by his wife Emma and his three handsome sons: Alfie, age 11, Harry, who’s nine, and two-year-old Henry Teddy. But as this picture was taken before they tackled the rides, who knows what state they were in afterwards? A gaggle of Corrie cast also braved a confrontation with the ravening zombies at the theme park, although Katie McGlynn (Sinead) looked terrified enough to be on a night out with Antony Cotton (Sean). Perhaps he changes into a horrifying monster after dark? Meanwhile, former Hollyoaks resident Sophie…

“THESE PEOPLE DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE ROCK STARS” JJ In just four years, the Invictus Games – founded by Prince Harry in 2014 and open to all wounded or sick Armed Forces serving personnel and veterans – have gone from strength to strength, and the team behind this year’s Games, held in Sydney, is keen to make it the biggest and best yet. Inside TV caught up with this year’s UK presenting anchors, Alex Jones and 2014 gold-medal winner JJ Chalmers, to find out what we can expect… “When we first turned up in 2014, we thought it was going to be a sports day and we’d all do an egg-and-spoon race!” admits JJ. “Then you get there, and it’s…

Has your parakeet got you squawking with rage? A misbehaving bunny left you hopping mad? Salvation is at hand in this new daily series where a group of animal behavioural experts help owners who are reaching the end of their tethers. Inside TV spoke to dog behaviourist Leon Towers to find out what sort of challenges he faced… Hi, Leon! What can we expect from the series? There are lots of laughs, first of all. There are some really funny stories and lots of heartfelt ones, so you can go from crying with laughter to crying with emotion in a split second – it’s that kind of vibe. And what you see is what you get. It can’t be rehearsed, because I can’t fix a dog then unfix it again…

CATH’S ONE STRONG MAMMA! Former Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley has been keeping busy since leaving the Street’s Eva behind. She has been showing off her new body following a 12-week intensive training course, while auditioning for new roles. But most of all she’s just enjoying being Mum to three-year-old Alfie. “Being a working mum is not easy,” she says. “It’s incredibly difficult at times. Balance doesn’t exist. You just manage the best you can.” MANGEL ON THE ICE Ex-Neighbours star Mark Little, who played Joe Mangel, is the latest star to sign up for ITV’s Dancing On Ice. The actor, who starred in the show from 1988 to 1991 during the show’s glory years, also returning in 2005, admits he’s worried about this change of career… “There’ll be performance anxiety,…

Harry and Ste’s dream wedding day is finally here this week – but in usual Hollyoaks style, it’s set to be a nightmare! So will spurned lover James ruin the occasion? Or are Ste and Harry destined to be? While the village is decorated for the wedding, it seems the only thing that isn’t ready is one of the grooms – with Harry still on the fence about marrying Ste… “Harry’s in two minds,” explains Parry Glasspool, who plays him. “He’s still waiting for James to say the magic words. In a way, he really hopes that James will come in to break it all up, so he doesn’t have to go through with it! Harry is very confused.” It seems Harry may get his wish,…

FAIR CITY Cristiano is left distraught this week, when Mairead reveals that she and Will are departing. But is Will really prepared to leave everything behind? Meanwhile, Hayley becomes irritated as Robbie refuses to back off about Lee’s debt. And Erica makes Doug upset. RIVER CITY Amber struggles to keep her heroin habit a secret this week – causing trouble for Logan… Elsewhere, Scarlett believes that Dougie is being used as a scapegoat – until Lenny raises her suspicions! Did he cause the explosion? Plus, Nicole makes a beeline for Angus. THE ARCHERS Johnny gets a big shock this week, when he discovers the truth about what’s been going on right under his nose! Across the village, Pip and Toby come up with a solution to baby Rosie’s night-time activities.…

THE ICE QUEEN COMETH After years of waiting, we were stunned to see Kim Tate make her return to Emmerdale. But was it a successful comeback, or is it all just a little too late? Our mail bag was divided 50/50… Kim Tate is exactly the shot in the arm that Emmerdale needs. For years now, it’s all been too gloomy – a constant stream of terrible illnesses and big ‘issue’ stories. But finally it’s time to have some fun again. Every soap needs a super-bitch, and there’s no bitch more super than Kim! Josie, Bradford It was all a bit tragic, wasn’t it? Correct me if I’m wrong, but is Eric Pollard the only character in the village who was around when Kim was last in it? All the…

It’s hard to believe that Weatherfield’s heroic Dr Ali is now officially a killer. But his split-second decision to remove the metal post that was keeping drug boss Ronan alive means that he now has blood on his hands. Ali is tormented by guilt – and in the depths of despair, everything he thought he was is slowly slipping away. It will lead to dark times ahead, warns Corrie’s James Burrows… “I was a bit worried when I first read the scripts because I didn’t want Ali to become the new Pat Phelan – mass murderer!” shares the actor, who joins us for a chat about his alter ego’s darkest hour. “It’s a terrible thing for anyone to do, but especially for doctors, who have saving lives ingrained in them.…

Although Leyla has been away in Greece for most of the year, Roxy herself has been on maternity leave, after giving birth to her first child with husband Arsher Ali. So has it been easy to get back into the swing of things, playing Leyla again? “There’s always an adjustment period, but it is kind of like riding a bike,” she reckons. “I mean, you do play a character for so long. At first, you’re a little bit nervous about everything – ‘Can I still do this? Am I going to do it right?’ – but quite quickly you kind of get back into the swing of things. It just feels fun and good. It is definitely difficult to juggle home life and work life, though, but I think everyone…

“Fortunately, I don’t get all that much medical jargon in my scripts – but the physical stuff, like bandaging and patching people up, is easy-peasy now. I’ve been doing it for a million years, so I could probably do it in my sleep!” “In between scenes, I’m forever knitting away. It’s great because it’s more productive than just hanging about. I knit a lot of baby clothes and things I can rustle up quickly. And I often listen to music or plays at the same time, so it’s very relaxing.” “I have to say that I like it when I’m filming scenes in Charlie’s office. That particular set has got really nice moody lighting, and we’re often doing some very meaty scenes in there – proper character-exploring stuff…” “I still…

Of course, soap stars aren’t like their characters in real life, but perhaps the actor who has least in common with his alter ego is Emmerdale’s Jeff Hordley, who plays glowering hard man Cain. Our hearts melted at this lovely snap of keen vegetable-wrangler Jeff out on his allotment, enjoying a bonding moment with his cockapoo, Rita. However, was the pooch receiving a telling-off, or just a simple reminder that she was – as always – a very good girl?…

CORRIE’S MARIA It’s National Chocolate Week, and Samia sure knows how to look sweet with this chocolate-coloured combination……

Sara I’ve just finished The Handmaid’s Tale. I’m obsessed with it, but it feels so palpable, and that terrifies me! Not necessarily the infertility aspect of it, I just feel that in a Trump world there is so much divide – it feels so possible. Christian I’ve only seen the French & Saunders version, with Dawn French wearing a massive white cap where she can’t see anything! Sara Maybe I should watch that instead – this gives me anxiety every Sunday! Christian I’m watching The Alienist on Netflix at the moment. That’s quite dark and deals with similar issues. I love those sorts of Gothic shows, and there’s medicine in it, even though I don’t usually watch shows that have anything to do with medicine! Sara For a more relaxing…

Two things that we particularly enjoy watching on telly are people looking around beautiful houses, and fierce competition. Lucky for us, then, that Coast vs Country fulfils both of our needs on that front, as Kerr Drummond attempts to entice the show’s contributors to move to the coast, while Kirsty Duffy offers up her most persuasive arguments for buying in the country. We chatted to Kerr to find out how competitive things really get… “Very!” he chuckles. “We’ve both got our excuses. Most of the time country goes first, so Kirsty’s always moaning that I can learn a lot from her first couple of house tours! But across the country, property prices are generally higher on the coast, so when it comes to excuses I’m always going to win! It’s…

What did you think when you first heard about Keanu and Sharon’s affair? I laughed, as I know Tish [Dean, who plays Sharon] and I love her to bits – so I just thought, ‘Oh my God, she is going to have the time of her life’! He’s a good-looking guy, my son! Tish is a complete professional, of course, but I bet she’s had a good day at work! [laughs] How is Danny [Walters, aka Keanu] coping with being thrust into such a saucy story with a legend like Sharon? I know, she is the Queen of soap! He’s such a good guy, is Danny. He is completely professional, really mature for his age and I think he’s handling it very well. I don’t think Danny’s intimidated at all…

The climax of this week’s Hollyoaks sees the village hit by a major storm – in more ways than one! The episodes will see the return of actress Stephanie Davis as Sinead, who mothered a child with groom Ste. But while Parry is sworn to secrecy about what Sinead’s return will mean for the less-than-happy couple, he can reveal how it was to appear in the blustery episodes… “The storm was great to film!” confesses the star. “We were working until 4am – I quite like having night shoots, it feels like you’re doing something really intense. You have the rain machines coming down, and then there’s the massive wind machines too.” Although Parry didn’t have any major stunts to do during filming, some of the scenes still had their…

EastEnders viewers and the charity Rape Crisis have heaped praise on the soap for the powerful episodes that saw Ruby realise that she had been raped. Star Louisa Lytton, who plays Ruby, has spoken about the response she has had from audience members who have had similar experiences… “I had loads of people contact me directly on social media saying, ‘This is the closure I’ve needed for so long’,” shares the actress. “I received messages that said, ‘This incident happened to me 10 years ago and I questioned whether it was rape or not, and this episode has confirmed to me that in fact it was’.” The plot continues now that Ruby has reported the incident to the police. However, it’s the picture of Ruby kissing Matt that…

“With Dr Legg returning to Walford, can we catch up with some other favourite old characters and find out what they’re doing now? My top choices would be Nigel Bates (does he work for Netflix now the video shops have all closed?) and Irene Raymond.” …requests reader Mary “ Leanne is my favourite Corrie character. Her love life is a disaster zone. I think her next big romance should be with one of Michelle’s sons. I don’t mind which one – Michelle would explode!” …laughs reader Jenn “With Paddy vulnerable after the tragic death of his daughter, surely now is the perfect time for Mandy Dingle to return – with his 16-year-old secret love child…” …suggests reader Di “I think Sheila from Neighbours…

Rebecca faces a big decision this week – as Ross invites her to leave Emmerdale with him. Both of the lovers have been through the mill while living in the village, and Ross believes it’s high time that they made a change. His invitation comes when Rebecca gets a nasty surprise on her birthday – a card from psycho killer nephew Lachlan. After everything he did to her, Rebecca can’t believe that Lachlan would get in touch and she’s left furious by his twisted gesture. She rants to Ross about how the sick individual who murdered her family, held her captive and almost killed her too, is now wishing her ‘Happy Birthday’ – and swears that if she could, she’d kill him herself. Having been through his own revenge nightmare…

DR MAY WRIGHT EASTENDERS Wicked May went mad after her husband Rob Minter got mistress Dawn Swann preggers. She tried to buy Dawn’s unborn baby, took her hostage during late pregnancy and attempted to kidnap baby Summer. May then later attacked Dawn’s brother Mickey and trapped the pair and Summer! Dawn’s torment only ended when she escaped, and May died after blowing up the house by turning on the gas oven and lighting a match. DR ADAM FORSYTHE EMMERDALE Steph Stokes was no angel, but her twisted husband Dr Adam was even worse. He killed her evil brother Terence, drugged guilty Steph so she wouldn’t confess, double-crossed her and got her sectioned.

1 Stefan Dennis was born in the town Tawonga, Victoria, Australia on 30 October 1958. He has an older brother called Chris, and the two of them studied at a boarding school in Australia. Their eldest brother, John, sadly died just before his 13th birthday. At a young age, Stefan and Chris both loved entertaining and they formed a vocal group, regularly performing together at weddings and charity events. Talented Stefan launched his acting career when he was just 11 years old, in an amateur production of the musical Oliver! in Queensland. 2 Despite taking up an apprenticeship as a chef, Stefan soon returned to acting, with small guest roles in TV. On Prisoner: Cell Block H, his character was a teenage love interest of Doreen Burns, played by Colette…

EastEnders’ Carter clan is having a tough time with innocent Mick in prison, but Team Danny Dyer is loving life – and each other! Danny and wife Jo were proud parents as they attended an event at London’s Libertine nightclub to celebrate the launch of daughter Dani’s first-ever clothing line with fashion brand In The Style. Reflecting on the night that Love Island winner Dani was conceived, the actor gave a speech at the event: “Me and my wife made her – and listen, the thing is, right, it didn’t take long. It was about two minutes – maybe quarter of an hour. “She’s an incredible human being and we’re very proud of her. I’m slightly choked up!” Jo then grabbed the microphone from her husband and exclaimed, “What are…

LOUIS EMERICK (Mike Thornberry, Corrie ) IN Ever since Liz’s ex-lover Mike left the cobbles earlier in the year after his initial three-month stint, fans have been demanding to know when he’ll be coming back – and the time is growing near! As Liz finally recognised Jim for the ‘creature’ that he is, Louis took to Twitter to ask ‘Where’s Mike Thornberry when you need him?’ When Louis’ followers told him to get back to Weatherfield quickly to help and support Liz, the star replied, ‘On my way’.

BULLSEYE! We can’t recall when we last felt as drawn in to a soap episode as the recent instalment of EastEnders – when Ruby slowly explained to Stacey what happened after she left a drunken night out at E20. Meanwhile, Martin’s mates told him their ‘version’ of the evening. It made for disturbing, powerful and thought-provoking viewing – with an astonishing performance from Louisa Lytton at the heart of it. Bravo! If this face leaned down and asked us to marry it, with one quizzical eyebrow sexily raised, we’d lock the doors and phone for a vicar ourselves. But poor Debbie has lost her Joe, believing him to be a fraud and a liar. Still – we trust that 10-carat diamond ring is some small consolation.…
