Tormented Ben’s downward spiral leads to a brush with death this week, when he collapses from a drug overdose. The tragedy kickstarts a chain of events that throws the Mitchell clan into chaos, as Phil learns of a terrible betrayal while praying that his son survives… “Doing drugs with his dodgy new boyfriend James is Ben’s latest way of trying to forget the horror of being raped,” begins our Walford insider. “But he’s playing with fire as he sinks deeper into despair, and his self-destructive behaviour is upsetting his family.” Brooding Ben promises daughter Lexi that he’ll be at her dance exam and family dinner, only to disappoint his little girl by arriving late for her all-important performance. Ben is full of excuses, yet Lexi doesn’t want to hear them,…

There’s a familiar face riding into Walford this week, as Ravi – son of the Panesars’ old friend and business associate Ranveer – is released from jail. Rogue Ravi has a complicated history with the warring clan, and also crossed paths with Phil while they were both incarcerated, so to say he receives a mixed reception is putting it mildly! “Ravi is charming, cocky – and ruthless,” whispers our EastEnders insider. “Viewers first met him when Phil was banged up, and he helped his fellow inmate acquire a burner phone in exchange for information on their mutual acquaintance, Kheerat. “Ravi seemed to have it in for Suki’s eldest, and now he’s on the Square we’re about to learn the root of their rivalry!” We’re about to learn the root of…

So with his wife giving him the cold shoulder, Tim turns to Aggie for advice… “Tim finds it so much easier to open up to Aggie than Sally,” reveals our Corrie insider. “He can talk frankly to Aggie, as there are no feelings or emotions involved – plus she’s a trained medical professional, and she’s used to listening to people’s problems. She’s…

But Annie knows how to handle the drama, as she’s had a long history with soap operas… “What has been the highlight of your seven years on Hollyoaks?” My favourite story was the romance between Sally and Myra.

TUESDAY 2 August VICKY PATTISON: ALCOHOL, DAD AND ME Channel 4 10PM Hello, Vicky – why did you want to make this documentary? I’ve been wanting to make it in one form or another for years, but I wasn’t in the right place: I was struggling with my own issues around alcohol. So much of who I am and who I’m becoming is shaped by my childhood; my dad’s illness. I think I had a desire for people to understand why I was the way I was, and to see alcoholism as a disease. What are your memories of your dad’s alcoholism? I remember walking home once, and dad was singing Walking To New Orleans – that was always his song. But he was using me to prop himself…

Debbie’s kept the extent of the problems from them, and she hasn’t told anyone how difficult things are, apart from confiding in Ronnie. This is the kind of road that Ray Crosby would have gone down. But it’s all crashing down around her, and she’s facing bankruptcy. What makes her realise that she’s really messed up here? Ronnie knows the truth, and he is not impressed with her! But what really makes…

Meanwhile, Maureen has taken the opportunity to big up Corrie while also naming her dream role… “I won’t hear a bad word against [Corrie] – it’s full of quite exceptional actors working with very little rehearsal and direction,” asserts the 76-year-old actress. “Am I envious of some of my peers?

CORONATION STREET | ITV WEDNESDAY There’s a rumble on the cobbles this week, when George wrestles competitor Troy – who’s plotting to take his business!

Faith orchestrates a daring plan this week, to steal back her most-treasured possessions. She’s determined to get her hands on a collection of memories from Cain and Chas’ childhood. But their location makes that a tricky pursuit – Faith knows the box is in the house that now belongs to her former stepdaughter Eileen… “Faith is aware that her name is mud with Eileen, so it’ll be tricky,” shares our Dales insider. “But Eileen’s partner Angus answers the door instead. He doesn’t seem to recognise Faith at first, so she’s able to schmooze her way into the property. Though before she can grab the box, the penny drops that Faith is Eileen’s hated stepmum, and Angus chases her out.” Most people would give up at this point, but Faith has…

The Taylor-Baker clan prepare to throw a party to honour Avery this week – until they realise they’re flat broke!

It’s been a maudlin few months over in Emmerdale, with Bernice mithering about her future, and Zoe moping over her Pinot Grigio. This week, however, things crank up a gear when some jolly new stories arrive. Top of the list is Alan and Rodney’s heartwarming coming-out tale. This is a shock to many, but particularly to Peg, who’s had her sights set on Turner since she moved to the B&B. But when lusty Peg wanders into Alan’s bedroom for the fifth time in one night, claiming she “thought it was the bathroom” (that old trick!), Rodders and Al decide it’s time to speak their truth. Of course, it’s all a load of nonsense to fend off Peg’s advances – which is a shame, as they do make a very handsome…

We could still be stuck in there now! I thought she’d be good what with all the card tricks, but it turned out that both…

The line between role and reality is distinctly blurred after a disenchanted movie star arrives in Paris for her latest project… Who is Irma Vep? They sound intriguing... Intriguing is the word!

And that’s Alicia Vikander in the catsuit above? Yes, Oscar-winning Alicia stars as disillusioned actress Mira Harberg, who is invigorated by the prospect of her new role playing the iconic Irma, on a stunning set in Paris. Sounds divine! It’s certainly very beautiful – the locations, the costumes (and the fancy restaurant menus) are all très…
