But it was only after Kat bid her goodbye that Ruth stumbled across the convent birthing record that confirmed…

Mick and Shirley continue to rebuild their relationship this week, and a hilarious incident involving a runaway cat brings them even closer! However, when the rest of the Carters learn that the pair have been meeting in secret, all hell breaks loose… “The rest of the Carter clan are disappointed with Mick for going behind their backs,” says our EastEnders insider. “When Shirley supported Dean after Linda accused him of rape, she burned her bridges with the rest of the family. For Mick to break his vow to disown Shirley after that is a massive shock.” At the start of the week, Mick continues to grow closer to Shirl as he arranges for her to secretly meet baby Ollie.

But as smug Luke and Steph’s boyfriend Andy watch him being carted…

However, after Lisa tries to talk her out of it, the blonde babe is at her wits’ end and makes a mysterious call asking for help… Unsurprisingly, devastated Mercedes seriously struggles to cope once the tragic day finally arrives.…

There’s a mortifying demotion in store for Underworld’s Sally this week, after she rubs factory head honcho Johnny up the wrong way.

Irritated by the sound of Sal’s voice, ruthless Johnny suggests to Carla that they shift her out of their office and on to the factory floor.

“My father has been killed by his new wife and buried under my childhood home!” Den contrived to ruin Sharon and Dennis’ wedding in spectacular style – when his corpse was unearthed from the Queen Vic cellar. Sharon was estranged from her adoptive dad, but his second death was still a bitter blow. Knowing how badly Den treated women, it was less of a surprise to discover he’d been killed by his second wife, Chrissie. “My best friend’s daughter is actually my sister!” Even Sharon didn’t know which scumbag had knocked up her teenage BFF, 16-year-old Michelle Fowler. So it was a good job Sharon’s adoptive dad Den had already quit Walford – and seemingly in a permanent way – when Michelle confessed Den was baby Vicki’s father. Sharon called…

CLAIRE IS DELIGHTED to be teamed up with Jimmi Harkishin, aka Dev, whom she sees as an actor of some standing… “It’s great to have someone taller than me to work beside!” she beams. “Most actors are quite short, but Jimmi’s not – so I don’t stoop or lower my shoulders, and I can wear my heels with pride!” But Claire knew exactly what to expect, as the pair first starred together many years ago – and once again, she finds her character working for him. “We were in a show together in the mid-80s called South Of The Border,” reveals the star. “I played the secretary of Jimmi’s character, this guy that ran a juvenile detention centre. I’ve tried to find it online, but I couldn’t. “In fact, his…

I love Transparent – I’m waiting for the second series with bated breath. It’s a unique story about a transgender dad, and how his family deal with the issue. They’re all really flawed characters, but you love them and you don’t quite know why! I’ve also been watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt , which is very, very funny – and it’s brilliant to see a hilarious black gay guy in it who doesn’t feel stereotypical in any way. I started watching BoJack Horseman about a month ago, too – it’s a very dark comedy, a cartoon about this guy who used to be in a famous TV show. A film that I rewatch is Hitch , with Will Smith. It always makes me…

We all know the story of Frankenstein and the monster he created, but this six-part series puts a different spin on the idea. In London in 1827, police officer Marlott (Sean Bean) is on the trail of smugglers when he finds something disturbing in the Thames. It looks like a dead child, but is in fact a patchwork of different body parts made to resemble a whole person… “That brings him into contact with Sir Robert Peel, who was Home Secretary at the time,” explains Sean. “It’s a turning point for Marlott, because he’s offered a role as a detective in the Metropolitan Police Force as it was forming, and he goes on to try to get to the bottom of this very dark, shady story.” Marlott soon realises there’s…

The dangerous feud between warring brothers Robert and Andy reaches a grim conclusion this week – leaving both men fighting for their lives! In a sickening recreation of the collision they had 10 years ago – which killed Jimmy King’s little brother Max – the Sugden brothers drive head-on at each other when the bad blood between them boils over. As their vehicles spin out of control, Robert and Andy are left for dead in a bed of twisted metal – so, after a lifetime of fighting, have they managed to destroy each other at last? “Both brothers are prepared to die at this point,” says Ryan Hawley, who plays Robert. “Each of them has lost quite a lot and is very hurt. I can’t say what happens afterwards, but…

It’s no secret that rapist Dean is set to get his comeuppance for assaulting Linda – and it’s now been confirmed that the story will spell the end of his time in Albert Square. EastEnders bosses have said that actor Matt Di Angelo, who plays Dean, is leaving the show – but how he’ll depart remains a closely guarded secret… “We’re giving nothing away, but there is big drama to come,” says a soap spokesperson. “Matt’s exit will be explosive, and viewers are in for a nail-biting treat!” Inside Soap recently reported that show chiefs are planning a big stunt that will see bitter brothers Mick and Dean in one final showdown – for which star Danny Dyer (Mick) has been fitted for a wetsuit. Speculation is rife that the…

Smitten Liz struggles to resist the lure of cheating ex Tony this week. However, after Liz’s granddaughter Amy spies them together, how long can it be before their romance becomes public knowledge? “Liz was utterly devastated when she found out that Tony cheated on her with Tracy, and was also plotting to steal the Rovers,” our cobbles insider reminds us. “But Liz has never been able to switch off her feelings for him. So once Tony realises that she still cares for him, he takes the opportunity to wheedle his way back in.” The biggest hurdle that Tony faces, however, is winning round Liz’s family, who are still furious with the way he treated her. With the pair having been on a secret date, Tony is hopeful that he and…

There are fireworks in the Barlow household this week – thanks to Ken’s controversial new love. Tracy is incensed to discover her widower dad has found someone to cosy up to following the death of her mum Deirdre.

Worse still, after Tracy loses it, Ken turns to his friends for solidarity and to pick over his daughter’s vicious outburst. But the poor fella is shocked to discover that both Emily and Rita aren’t too happy with his choice of companion either.

Steph drops a bombshell on her former hubby Toadie this week, when she reveals that she’s been in a relationship with a woman. The mechanic has some explaining to do after Toadie sees her locking lips with Belinda, and he’s knocked for six once he discovers the truth about their relationship. Viewers are bound to be surprised by this turn of events, too – but star Carla Bonner, who’s reprising the role of Steph, is delighted at her character’s new romance… “I thought it was a really smart move on the part of the Neighbours writers and producer,” she tells us. “There has always been some speculation that Steph and her best pal Libby Kennedy had a bit of a thing going on! And because of Steph’s nature, I don’t…

Billy is left blushing this week, after he makes a drunken call to his ex-wife Honey – and ends up leaving her a saucy voicemail! With Honey and his son William currently living up the road in Kent – having moved back to the UK after William did a stint of child modelling in Canada – Billy’s been feeling bad that he’s not arranged a visit. Having not seen Honey since she dropped off their daughter Janet before heading overseas last year, Billy’s had little luck in finding himself a new partner – and romance has been typically thin on the ground for the hapless fella. So does his cheeky voicemail mean he’s keen for a reunion now that Honey’s back in the UK? Of course, Billy is appalled with…

She may be a responsible surgeon, but Mo Effanga throws caution to the wind this week – as she runs away with her surrogate son, William! She’s bonded with the boy while caring for him in the wake of the crash which killed his mother Sorcia and left his father Brett in a coma, but handing William back to Brett now proves an impossible task. Reckless behaviour it may be, but Chizzy Akudolo – who plays Mo – didn’t bat an eyelid when she learned of her popular alter ego’s latest move… “I wasn’t at all surprised,” grins the star, as she joins us for a chat on her day off. “She thinks she’s doing what’s best for William, after Brett starts talking about handing him over to Sorcia’s mother,…

Many congratulations to EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy (Sonia) who has become engaged to handsome boyfriend Marc Humphreys.

Emmerdale is famous for its thrilling stunts – so what was it like to work on such a dramatic set piece? “I don’t handle any of the dangerous driving stuff, unfortunately,” reveals Ryan. “The stunt men step in. But it’s nice to do action scenes like this because they’re so exciting. The one thing you have to do as an actor is to step up your game and try that little bit harder – since you don’t want the acting dwarfed by the action.” So far, it’s been a pretty scary year to be Robert Sugden, with all the violence he’s been part of and the repeated attempts on his life. However, Ryan reckons he’s been amused by how much Robert wasn’t involved in the ‘Who shot Robert?’…

Ronnie comes up with a new tactic to get rid of Dean this week – by attacking his business! Ronnie has been trying to lull her arch-enemy into a false sense of security by playing nice. But while Roxy buys it, the demon barber isn’t fooled for a moment. Ronnie is the sort of schemer who’d happily bide her time and play the long game to ruin Dean, but she soon discovers time is of the essence. That’s because Dean and Roxy are planning to move out of London – and get wed! “It’s a massive shock for Ronnie!” explains our source. “She hates Roxy being with Dean, but at least in Walford, she’s close by to keep an eye on them. If Dean succeeds in taking Roxy away from…

WITH RUMOURS OF a special Holby/ Casualty crossover episode in the works, Chizzy is hoping for a battle royale… “I’m ready for a crossover!” she laughs. “I’ve known Charles Venn, who plays Jacob in Casualty, for a long time, and I’ve got friendly with Amanda Henderson [Robyn] and Crystal Yu [Lily] over the past few years. And of course there’s Amanda Mealing – Connie’s the queen, isn’t she? She used to be the cardiothoracic clinical lead on Darwin, so with Mo being the new cardiothoracic on the block, it would be great to have Mo and Connie go at it!”…

As Hollyoaks joker Lee Hunter and the Dales’ loveable Jamie Hope, Alex Carter has won legions of loyal fans. So it’s great to see him back on TV in new BBC1 drama Cuffs . It’s all a bit of a departure for our Alex, but he reckons he’s still got his finger on the soapie pulse where Hollyoaks and Emmerdale are concerned… “Sometimes it’s tricky to watch a show that you were in for so long,” says the star. “It’s a bit like watching someone else going out with your ex! You know it’s going on, but you don’t want to watch it. I’d say I still feel very connected to Emmerdale, though.” The world of Hollyoaks has changed considerably since we last…

IT WOULD BE EASY to dismiss this as the BBC trying to take a slice of the Game Of Thrones action, but this drama is a different beast, basing itself in history rather than fantasy, and exploring the bygone era when England was divided into separate kingdoms and constantly facing invasion. It delivers on the epic action front as well as telling a cracking story, and has the bonus of being sort of educational, since it’s inspired by real events. This week, our hero Uhtred finds himself being used as a pawn, as Alfred tries to broker peace with the Danes.…

Working chefs from all over the nation face the critical tastebuds of Gregg, Monica and Marcus once again this week, as MasterChef: The Professionals returns for its eighth series. The judges expect the very best, but for those who can meet their exacting standards, this could be a career-making experience. We caught up with the tough trio to find out what’s ahead this year… What did you make of the standard of this year’s contestants? Monica I think every year the quality of chefs improves – we say that a lot, but this year it’s been phenomenal. Once you get through the beginning stages, where you’ve always got to sift through the not-so-great to get to the talent, I think you’ll agree we’ve got some great…
