Table of contents for 35-2025 in Inside Soap UK

All good things must come to an end – and this week, we bring you the final in our series of exclusive Inside Soap Awards shoots for 2025. But we’re ending on a high, as the lovely folk of Walford tell us why they deserve to bring home the Best Soap crown this year. But that’s not the only big prize certain members of the cast are dreaming of – our shoot happened to fall on the exact day that Balvinder Sopal (Suki) was announced as a contestant for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, and she was buzzing by the time she got into our photo studio. To read more about Bal’s Strictly dreams coming true – plus some teasers about what’s to come for Suki and Eve – turn…

PETER BARLOW July 2013 On advice from Deirdre, Carla asked Peter to make an ‘honest woman’ out of her in 2013. It came about after he had lost the bookies and Carla wanted him to feel equal in the relationship. They married five months later, with Carla unaware he’d snogged Tina. NICK TILSLEY December 2015 10 years on, it still shocks us that Carla asked fun-sponge Nick to marry her! Nick didn’t have a chance to respond, but he later made it official – although the marriage was over as soon as it began when Carla’s fling with Robert Preston was revealed. LISA SWAIN August 2025 Carla put real thought into this proposal – but it never came to fruition after Lisa revealed that Becky had presented her ring in…

Back to school! Waterloo Road has been renewed for two more series, meaning the school drama will be on our screens right though until 2027! Meanwhile, a new series will begin next month. On the floor! Another soapy fave will soon be taking to the Strictly dancefloor! Former Dales star Lewis Cope (Nicky Miligan) is the latest star to be announced for the contest. Watts occurring! Dirty Den’s two Walford wives – actresses Anita Dobson (Angie) and Tracy-Ann Oberman (Chrissie) – will team up for Channel 5 drama Never Too Late, about a rebellious older woman who moves to a retirement village.…

Patrick and Yolande marry for the second time this week – but the big day is fraught with even bigger drama! As the wedding dawns, Patrick’s still adamant that he’s in no fit state to go through with the nuptials following his recent assault. Can Patrick’s loved ones persuade him to overcome his fears? “To say it’s a bit of a stressful morning for the happy couple would be an understatement!” declares our Walford insider. “Patrick is still determined there will be no wedding – but Yolande is just as determined that she’s going to have her big day! So which of the couple will get their way?” The rocky road to the altar kicks off with bride Yolande hoping Patrick has thought again about postponing things. But with Patrick…

RAVI We know that Ravi goes to extreme measures to get back the missing gun, so it’s likely that he’ll be close to the deadly weapon when it goes off. Could he be hurt in his quest to retrieve it? JACK Jack is one of the only people who knows that there is a gun in play, and the detective will do anything to keep the community safe. Could he play the hero and get injured in the process? YOLANDE It’s Yolande’s big day and she’ll be at the centre of the action as she marries the love of her life. But while it seems like everything goes to plan, could tragedy strike the wedding and leave Yolande in danger? SOMEONE ELSE This is EastEnders, so we know that we…

Tracy’s old tricks! I’ve always loved watching Coronation Street’s Tracy get her flirt on, but her recent antics with Carl reminded me of the days when she was the ultimate femme fatale on the cobbles. Conning her way into Carl’s room, then helping herself to the shower – how hilariously bold! Mollie, Southend MOURNING MACK I was crying my heart out watching Emmerdale the other night when Mack got cruelly murdered by John! I could barely watch, it was so horrible. How can John justify this? Chasing someone with a bow and arrow and watching them die slowly and painfully is twisted! I hoped the rumours of Mackenzie’s death weren’t true – I’m gutted. I’m also dreading the moment that Charity, Moira and the rest of his loved ones realise…

''N icola hates animals, which is gutting for me as I love them, but I never get to work with any on Emmerdale,” admits Nicola Wheeler, as she joins us for a chat about her real-life charity work. The star, who’s been on the soap for 24 years, tells all on a huge fundraising weekend for the cast, as well as revealing gossip about Nicola’s on-screen pursuits – both at work and at home… Hi, Nicola. We’re loving these pics of you with the lambs. You’re clearly keen, even if your character Nicola isn’t… I love lambing. I’ve got a friend whose family are sheep farmers so we once went to help – well, I say help, I think we were more of a hindrance – but I’ve actually birthed…

The classic saying, ‘EastEnders: everyone’s talking about it’ has never felt truer to its word than in 2025, thanks to the Square’s epic 40th birthday celebrations back in February. We lost Martin, the Queen Vic exploded and viewers decided the outcome of a love story! So, who better to kick off the campaign for your votes ahead of this year’s Inside Soap Awards than a lady who is not only nominated in the Best Showstopper category, but also about to make a star turn of her own on this year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing! Balvinder Sopal, who plays Suki, arrived at our photo shoot an hour after appearing on Good Morning Britain to announce her Strictly news, so there was much to talk about… Congratulations on landing Strictly, Bal!…

As a key character at the heart of Albert Square, who better to chat to us about why EastEnders deserves to win Best Soap than James Farrar? The star joins us to talk about Mission Impossible-style stunts, family, romance – and Zack’s spicy new job at the Vic… It was a very sad year for the Square losing Martin. Has Zack felt a responsibility to step up and look after everyone? He’s hurting more than we expect. I think that Sharon is certainly missing Martin, so as her brother, Zack would be there. You’ve got Stacey and everybody, but I don’t think Zack’s fully shown what it meant to him yet. He’s grieving and has been thrown in a lake by the new Mitchells, that’s a lot of trauma! What…

The Sunshine Murders Tuesday, 2.20pm 5 This sunny new daytime murder mystery series follows Greek detective Helen Moustakas (Dora Chrysikou), who gets quite the shock when New Zealand farmer Shirley Rangi (Emily Corcoran) reveals that she’s her long-lost-half-sister, and proves unexpetedly helpful in solving puzzling deaths. No stranger to Mysterious Girls (ho ho), the show – which is laden with guest stars including Stephanie Beacham and Nina Wadia – also features 90s hitmaker Peter Andre in the regular cast as pathologist George Constantinos… "He’s got a little bit of a soft spot for Helen, and that develops throughout the series," Peter tells us. "You kind of get the hint that maybe she likes him – but she's not going to let him know that over her dead body!" Read Inside…

After receiving a message from Mackenzie ending their marriage, Charity’s inconsolable at the idea of a life without her husband thanks to her own actions. As Chas tries to comfort her, Charity mourns the loss of her marriage, thinking that Mack is on a stag do and has moved on – but little does she know, she should be mourning Mack himself after he became John’s latest victim! Could it be that the message contains Mack’s final words, sent before his brutal murder? And could it possibly contain a clue about his disappearance?…

Laura-Jayne snoops behind the soap headlines… In news which will delight old-school soap fans, legendary drama Brookside is set to return to our screens after 22 years. The show will join forces with its one-time sister soap Hollyoaks as part of the show’s 30th anniversary this October. Heritage characters from Brookie, which last aired in 2003, will appear in the special episode with filming taking place on the iconic Brookside Close, the real-life cul-de-sac in Liverpool where the drama was based for 20 years. The two shows have always had a strong connection – both were created by famed TV boss Sir Phil Redmond and filmed side by side for many years at the same Liverpool studios. “As a lifelong soap fan who grew up watching with my mum, I…

Poor April has a knife pulled on her this week, as she makes a risky attempt to deliver illegal drugs on behalf of Dylan! Will the teenager be seriously harmed? After Ray piles the pressure on Dylan to complete another criminal job, April puts herself forward to do it instead. But when the vulnerable girl arrives at a local car park to drop off the stash, she is suddenly accosted by a hooded figure… “April is shaken to the core!” exclaims our Emmerdale spy. “She only wants to help Dylan, but by doing so, she finds herself in a situation that could cost her her life. After April arrives at the car park on her own, a menacing man turns up out of nowhere and demands that she hand over…

Hi, Gareth! Do you think Todd’s aware he’s in an abusive relationship yet? There may be a way that he can convince himself that this is an exception rather than the norm of the relationship. It’ll probably dawn on him that the relationship is abusive sooner than he finds the strength to end it. How did you feel when you learnt Todd and Theo’s relationship was going to be abusive? From an acting perspective, it’s great to get the opportunity to play more dramatic storylines. But you feel a responsibility to depict it truthfully and honestly, so the people experiencing it feel supported and seen. Todd confides a little in Sarah: do you enjoy their friendship? Definitely, yes! I love working with Tina O’Brien [Sarah]. They’ve got this really great…

Oscar lets the truth slip! EastEnders’ Oscar avoided being outed for hurting Patrick – until the teenager confessed to his uncle Jack that he was the attacker all along! It’s no wonder you lot are mulling over Oscar’s fate… While I have sympathy for Patrick, I’d be gutted if Oscar was sent back to young offenders. Jack has played fast and loose with the law before, so he should cut his nephew some slack and keep this between his family only. Alex, Newbury It upset me to see Patrick suffer a panic attack at his stag do. He’s such a lovely man and what Oscar did to him was really horrendous. I can only see Oscar causing more trouble on the Square, so maybe it is better that Jack lands…

Last year saw Balvinder pick up our prestigious Soap Superstar trophy – and she tells us that, a year on, the feedback she receives from viewers is as wonderful as ever… “I know Suki represents for a lot of people, and I receive lots of lovely messages,” grins the star. “I’m so grateful to EastEnders that we can be as authentic and real as we can, so that the character resonates with so many communities. If people hate Suki, they hate her, and if they love her, that’s brilliant – at least they have an opinion either way. That hasn’t gone unnoticed in my heart.”…

It’s no easy feat to tackle a role that has already been established by another actor, but Alice Haig has absolutely taken it in her stride. Returning to Walford after a 20-year absence, Vicki Fowler has quickly settled into the Square thanks to Alice’s brilliant performance, earning the star a Best Newcomer nomination. Here, Alice tells us about her time in the dream role so far, and teases a Vicki versus Zoe showdown… Hi Alice! How did you find it stepping into the role of Vicki? When I first found out it was Vicki, I was delighted because I was like, “Wow, Vicki’s a legacy character, amazing!” But it was also nerve-wracking, because Scarlett [Johnson, who previously played Vicki] was brilliant. I had lots of chats with Chris Clenshaw, who…

Michelle Ryan last played Zoe 20 years ago, but she’s delighted to be revisiting her legendary character – and to be reunited with her on-screen mum Jessie Wallace, aka Kat… Zoe’s back! But she’s a troubled soul… Zoe is not in the best of places and she is struggling in every area of her life. She left with no self-esteem, and I think the trauma she experienced was far more embedded than anyone realised. She’s a different girl to the one you played last time you were here? There is a strength in Zoe that maybe I didn’t see so much as when she was younger. Alongside her strength, there is also a lot of damage, and that makes her really interesting to play. The details of Zoe’s return are…

Carla is determined to make Lisa her fiancée this week, as she decorates their garden for a proposal! But after Carla’s romantic gesture goes awry, Lisa plans to pop the question instead. Will the pair finally get their act together and get engaged? “Has anyone ever seen Carla Connor so smitten?” gushes our Corrie spy. “She dresses the garden then surprises Lisa, with a huge grin on her face. Just one glance at these pictures will show you how perfect it all looks – unfortunately, it doesn’t turn out the way that Carla hopes. You’ll have to wait and see why!” Having already tried to propose once, the week begins with Carla confessing to Betsy that she’d like to try again, but only if Betsy is on board. Thankfully, Betsy…

As Emmerdale fans will recall, Marlon’s relationship with April reached its lowest point when the dad-of-two became obsessive about her safety. From lodging a tracking device in her coat to framing Dylan, the chef nearly destroyed his bond with his daughter. More recently, Marlon has learnt from his overprotectiveness and has even approved April and Dylan’s romance. But we can’t help but feel that if Marlon blocks out his fatherly instinct too much, April could end up in a serious mess. But how exactly does Marlon tread that line, you ask? For starters, Marlon could lean on his fellow villagers to keep an eye. Take Ross, for example. If he had the heads-up, we reckon he’d be able to sniff out April’s drugs dilemma in no time. Or, more simply,…

Paddy faces a terrible realisation this week – but what could it be? The vigilant vet is set to make a shocking discovery whilst innocently scrolling on his laptop. Could it be that it has something to do with the online mental-health helpline that Paddy volunteers for – the very same one he unknowingly used to anonymously advise killer John Sugden? Or, could it even involve his missing father Bear, who mysteriously left the village weeks ago and hasn’t been in contact since?…

FAIR CITY When Rafferty’s PI uncovers that pregnant Hayley had an affair in Dubai, she’s furious that he’s been digging into her past. After she proposes to Mondo that she buy a stake in Comet, Rafferty threatens to expose her shady past – and she collapses from stress! Pressing on with his plan, Rafferty becomes Mondo’s client – but on the condition that Hayley isn’t involved in the business. Enraged, Hayley vows to take Rafferty down, using her baby’s possible father James as part of her plan. But how far will she go? THE ARCHERS At Chelsea’s 21st birthday party, Amber drops a bombshell – will their newfound peace come to an end? Also, Tom pushes for changes at Bridge Farm, forcing Adam into a big decision.

Earlier this year, Betsy fell for reformed bad boy Mason, before he tragically died at the hands of his brothers. Since then, the youngster hasn’t found a lasting romantic connection with anyone else, though some fans have speculated that she and Brody are bound to get it on, while others reckon that she’s destined for Dylan… “Brody is like a male version of Betsy,” muses Sydney. “She can give it as much as he can take it, whereas Dylan’s the sweetheart. You’ve got fire and fire, then you’ve got fire and ice. Dylan would be the more sensible choice. But there could be loads of fun with Brody, too!”…

Nicola has made quite the impact since arriving in Walford; she’s taken over the club, been exposed as a killer and revealed the true paternity of son Barney, all in just nine months! Nominated for Best Newcomer, star Laura Doddington chats to us about living up to the Mitchell family name… How did you react to getting the role of Nicola? I screamed and cried a lot! I texted my best mate saying, ‘I don’t think I got it, babe,’ so when I got the call, I was so overwhelmed. How did it feel taking on the role of a new Mitchell matriarch? Stepping into this huge, established family, you want to do it justice. Roland Manookian, Elijah Holloway and Lewis Bridgeman [who play Teddy, Harry and Barney] are amazing…

The Slaters have been to hell and back this past year – from losing their beloved Martin, then to go on to inherit the very pub where he perished. And the shocks aren’t set to end there, with Kat’s daughter Zoe’s explosive return (see p4) and Stacey’s dramatic exit due to air later this year. Gillian Wright, who plays the ever-brilliant Jean, tells us why the clan deserve to pick up our Best Family gong now more than ever before… Hi, Gillian! What do you think makes the Slaters such an awesome bunch? They’re a group of very strong women; all completely different characters who are not ashamed of speaking out, winding each other up or saying what they think. They can snap at one another, and it doesn’t last…

Davina McCall hosts a bold new dating format which sees 12 singles matched up by experts following a round of speed-dating, after which they ‘wed’ and must survive three weeks together on a desert island! And Davina knew from the get-go the show was a sure-fire hit… “It was an immediate yes,” she tells Inside TV, recalling when she was first approached about the series. “You’re stripped of everything that makes you feel comfortable, safe and attractive. It’s a very difficult experience, especially when you’re with someone you don’t know at all.” After the ceremonies at sea, the new couples swim to shore, where they’re left with basic accommodation and rations, in the company of a near-stranger. They’re even forced to wear their wedding outfits for the duration of their…

BULLSEYE! The beauty of soap is getting to play the long game, and Emmerdale’s had us glued for over a decade watching Aaron and Robert’s story. Going straight into the Robron hall of fame in this new era – the powerful moment Robert broke down in Aaron’s arms. One of Danny Miller and Ryan Hawley’s best scenes ever.
