Soaps often highlight social and health issues in their storylines, and can be a great way to inform viewers or start debates on the topics. But it’s off-screen events that have recently drawn attention to one particular condition. “We all grew up with Barbara Windsor…” We’ve all been moved by the news of Barbara Windsor’s Dementia diagnosis. After all, we grew up with Babs, and the thought of that sparkly personality being somehow dampened just seems impossible. Her friends have also been clearly affected by Babs’ battle, and they’ve rallied to fund-raise by running this year’s London Marathon in aid of Dementia Revolution. We spoke to the lovely Emma Barton (Walford’s Honey), who told us why cause so to her heart. Elsewhere this week, we have some great news for…

Meanwhile, if like Inside Soap you’re old enough to remember Grange Hill, we have great news! Actor Lee MacDonald – who is best known for playing troubled Sammy ‘Zammo’ McGuire in the school drama – is joining EastEnders for a guest stint this spring, to play London bus driver Terry. The fella goes up against Mick in a radio competition to win concert tickets – but while the Vic landlord does his best to clinch them for Linda, will Terry stand in his way?…

Terrified Connie has been living in fear ever since the horrific attack which saw her pushed down a flight of stairs, leaving her fighting for her life. But as she finally identifies the culprit this week, will this help her to sleep easier from now on? “Connie’s not been coping well – the cracks are showing,” explains Amanda Mealing, who plays the ED’s clinical lead. “She’s not sleeping at all. She’s scared of being alone and of being attacked again. She believes that facing her assailant is the answer she needs – but in reality, it propels her into deeper anxiety.” “When Bill confesses, it’s both a relief and a horror” The confrontation kicks off after a patient – Maureen – is brought into the hospital, and appears to recognise…

Stacey decides to take charge this week, phoning her brother Sean behind their mum Jean’s back! But will her bold decision just end up making things worse? After Jean refuses to come back to the Slater house, Stacey is hurt and dismayed – especially when Jean admits that the only person she really wants to see is Sean. “Jean is facing up to the possibility that she might not get through this,” warns our Albert Square source. “And as she’s not seen Sean for more than a decade, she’s wondering whether she’ll ever get another chance. But Sean never dealt with Jean’s eccentricities well at the best of times – would it actually help Jean to see him, or would it just upset her even more?” Stacey throws caution to…

Mitch and Keegan are determined to help young Bailey this week, as it becomes clear that her mum Dinah is too ill to spend much longer living on her own. When Mitch drops in to visit Dinah, he’s worried to find her in a particularly vulnerable state – and is later ticked off by Karen for once again shirking his responsibilities with Bailey. Meanwhile, Keegan is keen to help out – and he surprises Dinah and Bailey by laying on a special lunch. However, after the trio manage to enjoy a much-needed laugh with each other, poor Bailey’s left mortified to overhear her mother and Keegan talking about various options should Dinah move into a home. With Mitch embroiled in launching the new salon, can he manage to be there…

FAIR CITY Jackie is spooked this week, after a close call with a burglar – which leads to a big proposition from Hughie… Elsewhere, Sash makes a final decision – will she go through with the surrogacy? Plus, Sharon plans an Easter celebration for the whole family! RIVER CITY Alex desperately tries to clear his name this week – but with the police looking for him, will his time on the run soon come to an end? Across town, Ellie and AJ make an attempt at a romantic night in! Also, old habits die hard as Dougie heads to the casino. THE ARCHERS Freddie finds himself at a loose end this week, and accidentally manages to aggravate Russ – but when there’s an emergency, will the enemies unite? Elsewhere, Eddie…

With the London Marathon just weeks away, a gang of Albert Square stars is warming up for the big day. The team has united in honour of former co-star, Barbara Windsor, who in 2014 was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Brought together by Barbara’s husband, Scott Mitchell, the top team – aka ‘Barbara’s Revolutionaries’ – is running 26.2 miles in a bid to increase awareness of dementia, and raise £100,000 to fund groundbreaking research into the disease. And as Emma Barton – who plays the Square’s Honey Mitchell – fills us in on their training, she admits her wonderful friend ‘Bar’ is the ultimate inspiration… “How can you not get behind her? She’s our national treasure,” grins the star. “Since Barbara and Scott went public about her disease, the publicity around…

Two years ago, we were gripped by the first series of Trust Me, in which Jodie Whittaker played nurse Cath Hardacre, who lost her job after taking her concerns about patient neglect to the hospital board. In desperation, she assumed the identity of her recently emigrated friend Dr Alison Sutton to land a new job as an A&E doctor in Edinburgh – and lived in constant fear of being exposed as a fraud. “YOU CAN SUSPECT EACH OF THEM ON SOME LEVEL STRAIGHT AWAY ” RICHARD Since then, Jodie has of course gone and got herself a job as a proper Doctor, so series two is taking a very different approach. This time, it’s focused on Corporal Jamie McCain, a patient in the spinal unit of a Glasgow hospital following…

THREAT LEVEL BBC2 has bought the UK broadcast rights to upcoming US drama The Looming Tower, starring Jeff Daniels. Based on the book by Lawrence Wright, it explores the rising threat of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda in the late 1990s. KITTED OUT This year’s Soccer Aid For Unicef is scheduled for ITV on 16 June, from Chelsea FC’s Stamford Bridge. Stars taking part include Jamie Redknapp, Mark Wright, Ben Shephard and Chelsea legend Didier Drogba. Tickets are now on sale at socceraid.org.uk/tickets IRISH EYES John Bishop is set to explore the Emerald Isle in a new four-part series for ITV. John Bishop’s Ireland will see the comic travelling on a 600-mile road trip, seeing the sights, meeting its people and doing a stand-up gig or two along the way……

It looks as though Harriet is in grave danger this week, when her stalker lures her to the village church and then locks her in! “Harriet’s in sheer panic, the church is her safe place and suddenly it becomes a very threatening venue,” shares Katherine Dow Blyton, who plays the victimised vicar. “Somebody has been in the church, and they’ve taken her keys and locked her in. It’s very spooky – just as it was for us when we filmed it!” It’s becoming increasingly clear following recent events that somebody has it in for Harriet, and her good friend Bob is sure that he knows who it is. He’s had his eye on Dawn for a while, but when he spots her on the phone at the same time that…

Inside Soap favourite Lorna Laidlaw – aka Mrs Tembe from Doctors – is to be at the heart of a brand-new family joining the Street. The actress will play Aggie Bailey, wife of Edison, and mother of their two grown-up sons Michael and James… “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining this iconic show!” trills Lorna, who hung up Mrs Tembe’s infamous wigs when she left the medical drama in February. “I have grown up watching Corrie. It’s the meat and two veg of the nation’s soap diet. I’ve got my knife and fork at the ready… let’s tuck in!” The Baileys will first appear in June, after ex-construction worker and small-time property developer Edison buys the builders’ yard from Eileen. He and Aggie will also purchase No 3 from Norris,…

Connie’s not the only one in the ED having a difficult week, as David is suspended following his assault on Charlie! The two men ended up in a heated confrontation last week, after David correctly guessed that Duffy is ill. But despite Charlie assuring him that the matter is now behind them, David finds himself being hauled into Fletch’s office, and told that he’s now suspended, pending further investigation. The nurse is devastated to realise that Charlie must have reported his actions, and as he packs up his locker, it’s clear he’s a broken man. Will this spell the end of David’s career in Holby?…

We’re so glad that Ches and Gemma are finally together – and we hope they never resolve their clash of personalities! It’s clearly driving Chesney bonkers to be shacked up with a crazy lady who behaves like a toddler on six bags of Haribo at all times. Gemma’s madness is precisely what Steady Eddie Ches needs to reinvigorate his character and to give him an exciting life on the cobbles – he’s been on the sidelines for too long! It would be wrong to change Ches himself – he’s a dependable, quiet kind of guy. But by throwing Gemma into the mix – and a whole heap of trouble – Corrie has gifted Chesney a second life. We can only hope that reports of quadruplets are accurate, and that Chesney…

As Rishi celebrates his birthday this week, the battle is on between Priya and brand-new stepsister Aiesha. With her mum having only just married Rishi, Aiesha goes all out in her bid to make her stepdad’s special day a happy one – putting Priya’s nose right out of joint! Seriously narked by just how thoughtful Aiesha’s being towards Rishi, who’s lapping up all the birthday attention, Priya wastes no time in ranting at her new sibling – but is she set to regret her harsh words?…

Former EastEnders actor Jack Derges (Andy Flynn) guest stars in Doctors this week, as cleaner Enzo – who ends up making quite the impression at The Mill! Enzo comes to the rescue after Becky hits the roof about the state that the cleaning team has left the health centre in. And when she insists that the firm responsible send its best cleaner, Enzo is dispatched. Becky’s flustered while she reads him the riot act, with her fellow female colleagues visibly impressed by Enzo’s charms. But can he cut the mustard when it comes to cleaning?…

CARLA’S GUILTY CONSCIENCE After trying desperately to keep her involvement in the factory roof collapse under wraps, Carla eventually buckled and confessed all – only to face the wrath of her grieving sister Kate… I’ve always been a big fan of Carla Connor, but her recent behaviour has been totally out of order. Her actions led to Rana’s death – and although she can’t undo what’s already happened, she should have admitted what she’d done straight away and faced the music. Kelly I know that what Carla did is wrong, but I do actually feel sorry for her. She’s clearly very traumatised, and the only reason she didn’t go to the police straight away is because Peter persuaded her not to. She really did want to do the right thing.…

Want to support a great cause? No sweat… While almost a million people are living with dementia across the UK, there are still no effective treatments to slow, prevent or cure the diseases that cause it. The Barbara’s Revolutionaries team is aiming to raise £100,000 for the Dementia Revolution. Donations will go towards funding vital research at the UK Dementia Research Institute, and help find a cure for the condition. Barbara’s Revolutionaries can be sponsored at: https://uk.virginmoney giving.com/Barbarasrevolutionaries Dementia Revolution is a year-long campaign by Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK.

“In the past I’d have said that Gary and Sarah could have got over this – but this time I’m not sure,” despairs Tina O’Brien (aka Sarah), as she joins us for a chat about her alter ego’s failing romance with Gary. “It’s a question of whether the relationship is able to survive when there’s such a lack of openness…” While Gary has been up to his neck in lies for weeks, oblivious Sarah’s been supporting him throughout. Aware that the couple are strapped for cash, she’s been doing everything she can to help keep their family’s heads above water. But based on what Sarah’s already been through with Gary – his child with former fling Nicola Rubinstein, for instance – Tina wishes the loyal character she plays wouldn’t always…

Welcoming a new baby into the world should be a joyous moment – however, Darren is full of trepidation this week, as his partner Mandy gives birth to their son, whom they already know has spina bifida. Add to that the fact that the baby might not even be Darren’s, and there are a lot of conflicting emotions surrounding the little’un’s arrival! “This is a bit of karma to slap Darren in the face after everything that he and Mandy did during their affair!” muses Ashley Taylor Dawson, who plays him. “They were the ones who tore their respective families apart, and now the baby might end up being Luke’s. The right thing for Darren to do is just be the best dad that he can be – but his…

Nothing can trump meeting Lorraine Kelly at the recent TRIC awards – she won, we won, it was just lovely. Everybody knows her and she’s so smiley. A close second is when I bumped into the late, great Patrick Swayze in LA. That was amazing. He was definitely checking me out! At least that’s my version of events. I mean, why wouldn’t he? Come on… 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!…

Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank (Billy) has a new man in his life, and we must say we’re rather taken with him! The star introduced fans to his adorable four-month-old Dachshund puppy, who he has sweetly named ‘ Colin’ and already taken on a tour of the famous Corrie cobbles. Little Colin was one of a litter of puppies taken into care by the Dog’s Trust, after being illegally imported into the UK from Hungary in terrible conditions, and Daniel was full of praise for the work of the charity. “Adopt and give a dog a forever home!” he told his followers in a post on his Instagram account – which will soon be full of pictures of adorable Colin, we suspect!…

I’m completely obsessed with Fleabag! I’m really enjoying that at the moment. And I recently made my boyfriend watch all of Sex And The City  from start to finish, because he’d never seen it – and he loved it! There’s an app called QuizUp where you can choose specialist subjects – he chose SATC and within a week he was number one in the world! I’m really looking forward to watching Us, the new Jordan Peele film, because I loved Get Out, so I’m excited to see that. The last thing I saw at the cinema was Green Book, which I loved – it has such wonderful performances in it, the acting is absolutely brilliant. The movie I’d consider one of the best ever made is a German film called…

DEAN GAFFNEY (Robbie Jackson, EastEnders ) IN If you enjoyed our 10 Facts about Dean in this issue (see p48), you’ll be delighted to know that after an absence from our screens, he’s returning to Walford… “I’m back full-time and it’s a nice feeling,” says Dean. “Robbie has been off in India, soul-searching. When he comes back, which is not too far away, is he alone, or has he found love? It’s a very interesting time on the show right now. I’m excited for what Kate [Oates, the show’s boss] is doing.” Summer ALEX LINCOLN (Jamie Tate, Emmerdale ) IN desperately On screen, Kim searching is for him, but we can reveal that Emmerdale bosses have found their Jamie Tate. Handsome actor…

EMMERDALE Big night bombshells! A FUN EVENING ENDS UP ANYTHING BUT… The Emmerdale gang hits the bright lights of Hotten next week – but far from escaping their troubles by dancing the night away, most of the revellers find themselves in big bother. With Maya finally taking one risk too many, Tracy falling back under the charms of an old flame and Rhona losing control, the group will be left with more than just a hangover… CORRIE Seb on the up! He’s had a tough few months, but it seems the sun is finally shining on Seb next week. There’s a new job, and a new lady. However, can the hothead manage to hold on to both? EASTENDERS Man wanted! Jay’s not exactly Max Branning when it comes to wooing…

She joined the cast of Emmerdale back in 2013, and Katherine says that she’s still surprised by some revelations about her alter ego, Harriet. Not many people can boast of seducing both Ashley Thomas and Cain Dingle, but Harriet’s always been a unique woman, and this latest chapter of her story is no less extraordinary. “I’m loving it,” enthuses Katherine. “I think having Harriet be a vicar who is also a former police officer is such a rich thing to explore. I’ve been here for more than five years now, and I’m still discovering things about the character.” Viewers have been speculating about the identity of her stalker, given Harriet’s colourful past – and her history with troubled Dawn. “Do I think viewers will be surprised when they discover the…

The residents of Walford ought to tidy away any sturdy-looking jewellery boxes or hockey sticks – as killer Bobby Beale is heading home! Ian recently revealed on screen that his son is due to be released from a detention centre, and now EastEnders bosses have confirmed that the character will indeed be back for an explosive story… “The show has always been keen to develop Bobby,” says our Square spy. “Bosses want to find the right actor to take him into adulthood.” That could mean that star Eliot Carrington – who played Bobby from 2014 to 2017 – may or may not return to the role. But either way, Bobby’s homecoming will spell huge drama for Ian and Kathy. More will be revealed when the unruly teen returns in the…

Who’s that guy? There’s a mystery man on his way to Emmerdale. The soap has released a video on its social media, teasing what looks to be a new character drinking a pint. But who is the fella and what are his connections to the village? Hush ya noise! Corrie has reportedly been working on reducing the loud sound made by Manchester’s new tramline, due to the disruption it could have on filming. The city’s council is now said to be fixing the issue. What a wash out! Dales star Claire King has confessed that she was nervous about reprising the role of Kim, recalling a past incident when a lady hit her over the head with an umbrella. “Some people think I’m really Kim,” she explains.…

Mel steps up her plan to take revenge on Jack this week, by doing everything she can to get closer to him! “Mel plays the victim to get Jack’s attention!” Mel still blames Jack for her son Hunter being banged up for murder – and after her lad entered a guilty plea at his recent trial, she’s baying for blood! So when a brick is thrown through Mel’s front window, it offers her the perfect opportunity to act as the damsel in distress. “Mel’s more than capable of looking after herself, but she’s happy to play the victim if it grabs Jack’s attention,” declares our Walford spy. “Jack’s already served Mel with an eviction notice, so now she’s on a mission to get him to change his mind. When he…

“With Barry Grant now in EastEnders, can we see some more Brookside favourites – starting with his mum and dad, Sheila and Bobby. It would be great to have Sue Johnston and Ricky Tomlinson in Walford.” …says reader Adrian “I think Billy and Paul are brilliant together. Could Corrie give us a gay couple who are allowed to be happy? Just for a change! It would begin to make up for what they did to Kate and Rana.” …pleads reader Kobi “I feel so sorry for Dan in Emmerdale, having been dumped by Kerry now that Amy has come back into her life. They should pair Kerry up with Bear Wolf – and teach her a lesson!” …chuckles reader Steph “Now Imogen’s back in Neighbours, her husband Daniel should return…

“You’d better be good.” “Oh, I’m pure bad. And you are going to love it.” Emmerdale made sure that the Inside Soap sick bucket was put to plenty of use this week. “Let me enlighten you, Beth. Far from being ‘not up to it’, as you say, I am up for anything that goes. There are weeks when I have to chase off more men than you have deep-fried chocolate bars, or whatever it is that passes for food in your house.” Ooh – zinger! Claudia is almost too good for Ken. “What do you want to be a politician for? It’s like showbusiness for ugly people.” “Hey! Nicola could have a future!” With any new endeavour, it’s always lovely to have the support of a parent. “You need to…

Talented Bex feels the pressure mounting as she studies for her A levels this week, and tells her dad Martin that she’s decided not to go to university. “Bex has set ludicrously high expectations of herself” But as he and her mother Sonia continue to apply the pressure on their gifted daughter, will she push herself too far? When Bex drops her bombshell, Martin’s stunned, especially as – unbeknown to Bex – he’s been working shifts at the chippy in order to raise extra cash to pay her fees! And when he drops this little fact into their conversation, Bex is far from pleased… “She’s horrified!” gasps our Walford insider. “Bex thinks Martin has stepped way over the line. Whether or not she goes to university is solely her decision.…

Kerry struggles this week, as the pressure of fibbing about the end of her relationship with Dan begins to take its toll. While the pair’s romance is dead and buried following Dan’s unfortunate marriage proposal, they agreed to keep their split under wraps for now, to protect Dan’s daughter Amelia. But it’s a charade that Kerry is already losing patience with, and she’s more than ready to move on with her life. So, will she be able to keep up her end of the deal and avoid temptation?…

Tim manages to upset wife Sally this week, when she catches him in the minicab office faking another heart attack! With Tim, Dev and Steve sitll competing to see who can lower their heart age, the trio play around with a blood pressure machine at Streetcars – and just as Sally calls by, joker Tim pretends to keel over. Sally definitely fails to see the funny side of the situation – but how can she convince her unhealthy husband to take his heart condition more seriously?…

“This is a really exciting point in Matty’s story – we’re going to see a big change in him after this surgery,” shares Emmerdale star Ash Palmisciano, as he chats to us about his alter ego going under the knife this week. “He’s going to be an awful lot more confident, even down to the way he stands and the clothes he wears. It might even improve his relationships – whether that be romantically or friendship-wise. It’s basically the start of his life in the village, and it’s going to be a really new and fresh way of living!” Preparing for the first part of his gender reassignment surgery is certainly a huge moment for Matty. Yet, while he has nothing but excitement for what’s ahead, his mum Moira is…

Neil Fearns 2000 Sarah’s just 13 when she discovers she’s pregnant with Neil’s baby. He wants nothing to do with daughter Bethany – and in 2003, is killed in a car crash.

Showbiz is clearly in the blood of the Dyer family. Love Island winner Dani has released her first book, and her old man couldn’t be more proud! Daddy Danny took a few hours away from his other life as Walford’s Mick Carter to help his first born launch her magnum opus, What Would Dani Do?, at an east London cinema. “I’m hopelessly proud of you,” tweeted Danny. “Your destiny can only be nothing but greatness.” Meanwhile, Corrie’s Kym Marsh (Michelle) is welcoming her eight-year-old daughter, Polly, into their own showbusiness dynasty. She’ll be joining her mum on stage later this year in Elf: The Musical. “I’m going to be travelling around the country with the theatre tour, and I don’t want to be away from Polly,” Kym shared with OK!…

Love is hopefully on the specials board again this week, as the First Dates restaurant re-opens for business. Is Cupid ready to strike for our romance-hungry daters? Maître d’ Fred Sirieix certainly thinks so… “It’s amazing,” he enthuses. “People come in and, as much as they’re nervous, they’re excited – this is the lunch or dinner that could change their lives forever. It could happen… You’ve got more chance of falling in love on First Dates than winning the lottery!” Having a front-row seat to the action means Fred and his colleagues do get quite invested in the outcome. “You can’t really show it, but you do feel for people,” he tells Inside TV. “You want them to have a good time, and you can’t help but sympathise when you…

LEAH’S FIGHT GOES ON Former Emmerdale star Leah Bracknell (Zoe Tate) has shared an update with fans about her ongoing battle with lung cancer. The actress is taking part in an experimental clinical trial, which was briefly put on hold after ‘a little abnormality’ was discovered in her heart. “To sum up, I am fed up of being fed up,” she wrote. “And I’d like a break please. It is so important to hold on to memories of how it used to be and hold tight to the belief that it will be so again.” We send our best wishes to Leah as she continues her treatment. JULIA’S COMEBACK Following her guest appearance last year, ex-Corrie star Julia Haworth (Claire Peacock) is to make a return to Doctors. The actress…

BULLSEYE! “They had their night, but I had my day – and you can too,” was the powerful message delivered by Ruby after both of her rapists were found guilty in court. Through this story, and Louisa Lytton’s honest performance, EastEnders has demonstrated that there are no grey areas when it comes to the issue of consent – and that victims should always speak out. A captivating watch, from start to finish. Chesney’s gaff makes our eyes hurt. If you look closely, you can just make out his son, Joseph. It’s a like a real-life Where’s Wally? in there. Billy is so cute when he fancies someone. That giddy little grin of his… We’ve all been there. Oh, we didn’t want Gina to go. Her exit makes no sense to…
