Mother’s Day, eh? That wonderful time where we spoil our mums and make them feel oh-so-special. Unless you’re a soap mum, of course, in which case you usually receive the gift of heartache and agony. Take this week in Albert Square – Claudette’s special day ends in a murderous drama, Denise finds herself risking all for her stepson, and poor Linda must deal with warring kids and a terrible accident. Corrie’s mums fare no better, as Kylie’s happy time is destroyed when she’s confronted with a big reminder of Max’s dad. Mind you, if Emmerdale’s Charity gets no gifts, she’s brought it on herself – fresh out of prison, she decides there are more important things to do than see her own sons! Luckily, we’re sure that soap’s real-life mums…

1 Claudette claims that Vincent’s dad Henry was killed by Phil’s dad Eric Mitchell, but the Mitchells insist that Eric was no killer. Is Claudette trying to cover up the fact she murdered her own husband? 2 Is Henry still alive? Did he cheat on Claudette and leave Walford with another woman? Has Claudette told Vincent that his dad is dead because she doesn’t want to admit her own shame? 3 Perhaps Henry wasn’t the only man in Claudette’s life. Might Vincent’s dad be someone else entirely? And does Gavin know the truth?…

While we’d not wish wicked Phelan on any woman, star Les reckons that Michael and Eileen’s split might be for the best after all… “If I was Michael’s friend, I would tell him to fight for what he wants,” the actor tells us. “However, the problem is, that Michael doesn’t know if he wants Eileen or Gail! “Michael needs someone who is a little more settled and nurturing than Eileen,” adds Les. “With Eileen, he has that dynamic where they shout at each other and it’s exciting. Although with Gail, he’s totally looked after. And given his heart condition, maybe that’s exactly what he needs!”…

“MARIA HAS BEEN A BUSY GIRL AT THE DONKEY SANCTUARY IN CYPRUS!” Weatherfield’s Maria Connor is due back from Cyprus next month – and it seems she’ll be bringing home a hot new fella as a souvenir! From the looks of our snaps, Maria’s boyfriend Luke will greet her with flowers – only to find his girlfriend with another bloke… “Maria has been a busy girl while she’s been at the donkey sanctuary in Cyprus!” shares actress Samia Ghadie. “It’s not long before everyone learns of her surprise news. The scripts made me laugh out loud.” The identity of her mystery man is being kept under wraps, but it sounds as if Maria will have a lot of explaining to do! The intriguing scenes marked Samia’s first day back filming…

“MEGAN IS FINDING IT VERY DIFFICULT - LET’S HOPE SHE CAN GET THROUGH THIS” Jai and Megan begin to put their fractured past behind them this week, as their new baby daughter brings them closer together again. With Jai having rushed her to hospital after she went into labour in the woods, Megan is starting to soften towards the ex who broke her heart. So might their love for their little girl lead to a reunion for the pair? “It’s not that long ago that Megan was desperate to get as far away from Jai as she could,” sighs our Emmerdale insider. “And no wonder, since Jai’s behaviour was atrocious at the time. Megan was heartbroken after she caught him cheating with her business partner Leyla – so when she…

THE FIRST SERIES of Happy Valley was fantastic, gripping TV that seemed to tell a self-contained story, so we were a little concerned when we heard it was coming back. We needn’t have worried, as writer Sally Wainwright has struck gold again.

Izzy’s decision to take cannabis for pain relief may come back to bite her! Our sneaky snaps show the troubled lass having a word with some uniformed cops after she winds up down the local nick… “Izzy is a good girl, so she’ll feel wretched about breaking the law,” reckons our Street mole. “She only started taking the drug because she was in an unbelievable amount of pain. It was pure desperation.” Erica got hold of the weed for Izzy initially, while more recently her ex-boyfriend Gary offered to help. But do they risk landing themselves in a whole heap of trouble if Izzy is collared by the law? “If she’s moved to make a confession, the question is whether Izzy will take her friends down with her,” ponders our…

Chrissie wonders if her friendship with Andy could lead to something more this week – but is the Sugden stud feeling the same way? While Andy was perturbed when he realised he’d been a pawn in a honeytrap that Chrissie set up, he still stepped in after she confided in him her concerns that Lawrence might not be her biological father.

And when Chrissie started to question whether Lawrence is actually her biological father, Andy offered his take on the situation. Having been brought up by his adoptive father Jack, Andy insisted that she shouldn’t carry out a DNA test – warning her of the heartbreak it…

But will Valerie decide life’s too short to choose the sensible option? Also this week… Ex-Emmerdale actress Alicya Eyo (Ruby Haswell) stars as nuisance neighbour Gina.…

“DIEGO WANTS TO HAVE EMOTIONAL STABILITY IN HIS RELATIONSHIP” Call us cynics, but when Myra first returned with toy boy Diego, we couldn’t help being suspicious. But after the handsome foreigner weathered the revelation that his lover wasn’t actually a countess – bless him for believing! – he certainly proved us wrong. Of course, Myra is still not being totally honest with her young beau – which may become a problem when he reveals he’d like to have a baby with her! That leaves Myra understandably horrified, as Juan Pablo Yepez, who plays Diego, explains… “Basically, Diego’s not exactly sure how old Myra is!” laughs the Venezuelan-born actor. “He just thinks, ‘That’s one of the normal progressions for a steady relationship, right?’. He wants to reassure Myra that he’s here…

It was lovely. When I was approached to come back to Corrie, Ryan assured me we’d make the childcare work for Scarlett.

Most of us are guilty of occasionally buying things that we don’t really need, and in this new series BBC Breakfast business presenter Steph McGovern and The One Show’s Alex Jones are helping families to lower their spending without compromising on quality. Even if that does involve some slightly sneaky tactics… “In each episode, we’ll follow a family in their usual shopping routine,” Steph tells Inside TV. “It’s not food shopping, but everything else – clothes, gadgets, beauty and kitchen products, things like that. We spy on them shopping, and then we take all their stuff out of their house, put it in a pop-up shop, and show them how much they’ve spent in different areas.” The families featured are shocked to…

First there was Ben’s daughter Carly, then there was Nico’s grandad Patrick – and now poor Theresa and Sienna could be the next victims! And the rest of Chester’s unknowing residents should be quaking in their boots as well, because Persephone reckons her character’s killing spree is far from over… “I think Nico considers murder as an option every time a problem presents itself,” says the actress. “She’s so aware that she’s a murderer now, and it’s completely changed how she sees herself, because she knows that she’s capable of killing if the situation requires it. I think Nico will eventually go down in history as one of Hollyoaks’ biggest serial killers!”…
