Soap bunk-ups are funny things, aren’t they? Some of them you can see coming a mile off – or in the case of one this week, 20 or so years off! Meanwhile, others arrive out of nowhere and take you completely by surprise. One thing’s for sure, though: whether they’ve been hotly anticipated or show up out of the blue, a fling will always have big consequences – that’s how soaps work their magic! Take this week’s Emmerdale. First up, we’ve got the long-awaited giving-in-to-passion of former lovers Moira and James, who last locked lips the night their son Adam was conceived. Now we’re just waiting for bonkers Emma to find out – Moira should be very scared! Meanwhile, our out-of-nowhere bonk comes when Ross takes scorned Kerry for…

RETURN WITHOUT TO DAN HER , WOULD WICKED KERRY WAYS? Now Kerry has become a Dales favourite, it’s easy to forget that she was once a distinctly bad girl. So if her and Dan are over, will she go off the rails again? A terrible mum to daughter Amy, Kerry had a disastrous fling with Andy which came to an end after she accidentally set fire to his house while babysitting his kids! Upon discovering Amy and Andy had got together, she faked a pregnancy – and later joined Brenda on a shoplifting spree. Even after she fell for Dan, Kerry couldn’t help pretending she was dying to secure a free wedding, and was revealed as a bigamist on the big day! While Kerry is still fond of a drink,…

While actor Jack P Shepherd was being roughed up as part of the attack on David, his costars were also finding out that life on a soap isn’t always as glamorous as it looks. David Neilson (Roy), Alan Halsall (Tyrone) and Liam Bairstow (Alex) were recently spotted filming comedy scenes in which their alter egos’ car breaks down by the side of a road – only to be sprayed with water by a passing van! “Poor Alex definitely comes off worst as he gets a big drenching in the face, but Roy and Tyrone don’t escape unscathed either,” notes our Weatherfield source. “It doesn’t look as if the vehicle that showers them is going to stop, either, so the unlucky fellas could be the victims of a wet-and-run!” Roy will…

The Carter family were a force to be reckoned with when they first pitched up in Walford in 2013, but their numbers will have seriously depleted by the time Lee departs Albert Square. After losing actress Maddy Hill – aka Mick and Linda’s daughter Nancy – earlier this year, bosses were quick to cast Ted Reilly as her brother Johnny, who was previously played by Sam Strike. However, the biggest void they’ll face is the departure of mum Linda, who is due to be written out for a while as a result of actress Kellie Bright’s maternity leave. So what lies in store for Johnny, Mick and Lady Di after their relatives fly the nest? Our hope is that the changes will pave the way for even more deliciously wicked…

“BETHANY WONDERS HOW SERIOUSLY LAUREN WILL END UP TAKING THE THREATS” Vengeful David gives Lauren a nasty surprise this week – when he tricks her into a haircut and makes a chilling threat! Bethany finally reveals to the Platts the reason behind her recent closeness with Gary, and they are shocked to learn the details of her horrendous bullying ordeal at the hands of Lauren. So when Lauren turns up at the salon to put the frighteners on scared Bethany, David sees red – and decides to give the bully a warning she won’t forget in a hurry… “David is still grieving for his wife Kylie, and he’s been holding on to a great deal of pent-up anger since she was killed,” says our Corrie source. “So when he walks…

FAIR CITY Debbie struggles to cope as the search for Katy continues this week, and decides to use her upcoming birthday to attract publicity. But she’s stunned when Stella turns up out of the blue… Meanwhile, saddened Wayne laments his lost youth – so after some encouragement from Meredith, Orla gives Wayne a sexy present to help remind him of the man he used to be! RIVER CITY Angus and Cassie look for a big name to play their gig this week, so Bob persuades former local lad Vader to perform. However, Angus becomes jealous – and sabotages the gig when Vader dedicates a song to Cassie! Elsewhere, Patrick is stunned to hear the man he has accused of abusing him is denying all charges. Also, Molly struggles to care…

Perhaps things would have turned out differently had Nico’s dad Dodger stuck around to keep an eye on his daughter – but the hunky fella isn’t available to sort out the mess! That’s because actor Danny Mac, who played Dodger, is competing in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing. And Anna tells us that she can’t wait to see how her one-time cast mate fares… “It’ll be fantastic!” she beams. “Danny is a great little dancer, and I think he’ll do very well. I’ll definitely be going down to support him.” Danny isn’t the first soap star to woo the Strictly judges, and certainly won’t be the last. So could Anna be the next Hollyoaks actor to hit the dance floor? “I’m not sure whether I should be allowed to be…

“MAYBE MR T COULD WORK IN THE CANTEEN, SERVING CAKE!” Holby’s most frustrating and yet compelling love story is revisited with a vengeance this week, as Mr T returns from practising womb transplants in Gothenburg to be reunited with his soulmate Mo. Of course, this would be the perfect opportunity for her to tell Mr T that she is pregnant with his child. But in a cruel twist of fate, Mo’s babydaddy has some news of his own – as he introduces her to his new fiancée, Inga! So is this the final nail in the coffin for Mo and Mr T’s ‘will-they-won’t-they?’ saga? Returning Holby City actor Ben Hull – who plays him – hopes not as he joins Inside Soap for a long overdue catch-up… “Chizzy [Akudolu, who…

Life’s a (pleasure) beach! Corrie’s Kym and her little girl are riding high… Her Street character has her ups and downs, but star Kym Marsh (Michelle) certainly appeared to be enjoying all the fun of the fair on a day out with five-year-old daughter Polly at Blackpool’s famous Pleasure Beach. Braving the wetness of the log flume and the motion of the pirate ride, Kym couldn’t hide her delight - or perhaps her nerves! - as the pair made the most of their adventure. Little Polly clearly enjoyed the day, winning a giant plush toy and proving that she and her mum are a real double act as they posed in one of the famous cartoon cut-outs. MONSTER MUNCH! We’ve seen some silly things in our time, but these pics…

SHE TWO-TIMED SCOTT WINDSOR WITH TERRY WOODS! Who’d have thought that lovely Tricia was capable of bringing such scandal to grandad Alan Turner’s family? But in sleeping with bad boy Scott and veteran Romeo Terry, she did just that. The shame! SHE THOUGHT BERNICE WAS A RIGHT LOON! There was no love lost between Tricia and Bernice at first – they were fierce rivals. So when Bernice kept banging on about fiancé Gavin Ferris, but he failed to show up, Tricia thought Bernice had an imaginary boyfriend. When he eventually appeared, Tricia bedded him! SHE MARRIED A GAY MAN! Tricia made the ultimate sacrifice for her best friend Jason Kirk, when she married his Australian boyfriend. By tying the knot with Joe Fisher, she ensured the two men could be…

FESTIVE FAITH We have excellent news for Grantchester fans - not only is series three due to start filming shortly, but there will also be a 90-minute Christmas special airing later this year. BOXED OUT Deal Or No Deal will be closing down the dream factory this year, as the next series will be the show’s last. However, it will be going on tour later in 2016, visiting various landmarks around the UK. WHAT’S COOKING? A new food series for BBC2 is looking for families who are passionate about cooking.

GONE FOR A BERT In EastEnders this week, Jay said he wanted to go and find his “Grandad Bert”. Am I right in thinking we’ve met him before? Laura, Dartford We have! In fact, we met Bert Atkinson before we met Jay. Yorkshireman Bert was an old friend of Pauline Fowler’s husband, Joe Macer. He came to Walford in 2006 to see Joe, but stuck around for a handful of entirely forgettable storylines. Bert had been estranged from his family for many years, so was shocked to learn from his ex-wife that not only had his daughter died, but she’d had a son Bert had never even heard of. That child was Jay, who came to live in Walford with Bert. When Jay’s dad Jase Dyer came looking for him,…

BULLSEYE! Ken and Tracy land the bullseye this week, simply for keeping it real. Forget the other big ‘issue’ storylines: the Barlows’ intense debate about which rubbish bins to leave out on a Friday – while trying to spy on how the rest of the Street interpreted Weatherfield council’s recycling leaflet – is about as true-to-life as soap gets! “With my track record, this probably won’t work out anyway!” wailed Marlon to new girlfriend Carly. He has a point. She should probably take out a life insurance policy. Those endless vacant looks from Walford’s Shakil make us feel that he’s somehow waiting for something. A sign from God? A signal from his mothership? Hair trend alert! Bob’s Café serves buns three different ways. All Chrissie’s clumsy ‘sex selfie’ shows is…

Nick told Leanne he’ll take care of her baby as if it’s his own. However, even if the news is out about Steve, can Nick really raise a child who isn’t his? “Nick loves Leanne and he will love the child, but whether he can cope with bringing it up is a big question that he’s going to struggle with,” admits Ben. “He knows he wants to be with Leanne and wants to look after her, but I don’t think he has the whole situation sorted in his mind. That said, Nick does have a relationship with Simon, who is Peter Barlow’s son – and Nick hates Peter! So he has it in him, but it may be a sticking point…”…

BUTCH IS BACK! Former Emmerdale star Paul Loughran, who played Butch Dingle in the Yorkshire soap, is joining Coronation Street. Bosses have signed him up to play Craig Tinker’s father, Darryl, who also happens to share the name of his son’s pet rat! We wonder why? DALES DELIGHT Tickets are now on general sale for the long-anticipated Emmerdale Studio Experience. Visit www. ticketmaster.co.uk/  emmerdale to bag yourself a spot on the tour, which explores popular sets such as the Dingle homestead and the Woolpack. It kicks off on 3 September. TWIN PEEKS! Feast your eyes on the twin brothers who will be shaking up Ramsay Street! David and Leo Tanaka - played by Takaya Honda and Tim Kano - will make their Neighbours debuts on 21 September. But what -…

Are our eyes deceiving us, or is Peter Beale set for a shock Albert Square comeback? That was certainly our first thought when we saw this snap of Thomas Law – the actor who played Peter from 2006 to 2010 before Ben Hardy took over the role – standing outside the Beale house with his ex co-star Aaron Sidwell, who plays Steven. Star Aaron teased fans with the picture on Instagram, followed by the caption, “When your brother just pops home for the day”! Sadly for EastEnders fans, Thomas had simply swung by the set to say a quick hello to his old friends. Boo!…

David is shocked when Tracy makes a bold new fashion statement this week – sporting bright red hair. Her dramatic makeover comes as she tries to establish herself as vastly different from sister Vanessa, whose blonde hair is similar to Tracy’s barnet. She struggles with her emotions as her birthday approaches, and her pain over dad Frank’s favouritism towards Vanessa continues to hurt her deeply – an attitude that hasn’t played well with Vanessa, either. “Vanessa didn’t think Frank could sink any lower in her estimation, but his treatment of Tracy has been horrible,” says our source. “She’s trying to find a way to get on with her sister, but it’s not easy because of their clash of personalities. However, they have both been massively let down by Frank.” What…

“HE IS BASICALLY TERRIFIED THAT EMMA WILL FIND OUT ABOUT THIS” James may have announced his engagement to Emma, but we can’t help believing he’s made a terrible mistake. Time and again Emma has proved herself a certified crackpot, a woman scorned who’ll stop at nothing to win back her man. James is fully aware that she’s a bit crazy – so it’s pretty risky of him to get hot and steamy in the back of a Barton cab with his former sister-in-law Moira this week! As we join Bill Ward, who plays James, for a chat about this shock development, he reckons that James’ feelings for the two ladies in his life are genuine… “Oh, James is aware that life with Emma comes at a price!” laughs the 49-year-old…

“I THINK TODD WOULD’VE DONE THE DEED ON THE FIRST DATE!” Life as Corrie bad boy Todd’s other half was never going to be dull, but vicar Billy thinks he may have overestimated his own appetite for drama. Their romance moves at one heck of a pace this week, as they plan to take things to the next level physically, and then Todd lands on Billy’s doorstep with his bags, ready to move in. That’s not the full story, however, because two massive rows shake their romance to the core, and give both men pause for thought. Sure, they share a lot of chemistry – but is this a pairing that’s built to last? “Billy feels that immediate rush of infatuation that you can experience at the beginning of a…

I love the pics I’ve seen of you with your dogs. What’s the best and worst thing about being a dog owner? …asks Gemma from Crewe The best thing is that you get the warmest welcome ever each time you come home! The worst thing is the mess. I have had shoes just torn to pieces – dogs love a f lip-f lop, so they don’t survive in my house! I caught my youngest dog chewing plastic the other day. She loves anything plastic, especially kids’ toys. She’s got a stash of them in her bed. She is really naughty, and just runs away if she’s in trouble! You always look lovely, Shona.

SOMETIMES WE WATCH TV to relax, and sometimes we like TV to make us feel very uncomfortable - and this four-part drama is doing that job brilliantly. Set in a remote part of the Highlands, it deals with the aftermath of the murder of a newly-wed couple, when the man responsible for the crime turns up at the homes of their families, injured and vulnerable. How far should you go to get revenge? Can you ever justify ‘an eye for an eye’? And how would you react if you had to confront the dark side of someone you love? Thanks to some sharp writing and a brilliant, committed cast, it’s been making us ask some soul-searching questions……

“THERE WAS THAT TIME DAVID CASSIDY HAD HIS FACE NEARLY BITTEN OFF BY A LLAMA. HE MANAGED TO GET OUT THE WAY JUST IN TIME.” Matt Baker recalls one of the more alarming moments in The One Show’s 10-year history “HE HAS THE BEST WINE, ALWAYS. WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD HE KNOWS THE BEST WINE TO DRINK THERE.” Holly Willoughby on why her This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield is a great travelling companion “ONE PERFORMER REALISED HE WAS SO FAR AHEAD HE COULDN’T LOSE, DROPPED THE CONTROLLER AND WALKED AROUND.” Dara O Briain saw one player showboating while making games series Go 8 Bit “RYLAN’S TALLER, BUT I’M A LITTLE ROTTWEILER SO I’M NOT SURE WHO WEARS THE TROUSERS.” Matt Edmondson on the dynamic with his Xtra Factor…

ARIES 21 MARCH - 20 APRIL   If someone is playing the fool around you this week, you may not be impressed! You don’t a high chicanery the best of times, but your mood this week is definitely not a kind one… TAURUS 21 APRIL - 21 MAY   You’ll be tempted to revisit the past this week, as someone or something reappears you . a good thing?

We know that actor Ross Kemp, who plays Grant, isn’t returning to EastEnders full time, having only agreed to do a short stint. Boo! But if the star ever decides to quit racing off around the world to hunt down the globe’s most notorious gangs, here are just a few reasons why Grant might want to remain in the Square… FAMILY! Having reconnected with daughter Courtney, and now within sniffing distance of his secret son Mark, Grant has a great excuse to set up home in Walford. Ronnie’s pad at No 27 will likely be vacant after she and Roxy leave, so Grant and his kids seem like the perfect candidates to take over the lease. BELINDA! The sizzling passion between Grant and Belinda was so hot that you could…

“TO AN EXTENT, DAN WANTS KERRY TO JUST GET IT OUT OF HER SYSTEM” Kerry gets her own back on cheating partner Dan this week – by bedding village bad boy Ross! After Dan and Nicola’s snog is revealed by Jimmy’s son Elliot, they’re soon facing the fury of their respective other halves. But when Kerry goes on to fall into Ross’ questionable clutches, has Dan paid a terrible price for his indiscretion? “All Dan wants is Kerry – so if he found out she’d been with Ross, he’d be mortified,” admits Liam Fox, who plays Dan. “He’s gutted that she knows about Nicola, and he feels so stupid. He was hoping against hope that it’d all blow over, but instead it turns into a big problem for all of…

“ DAVID WANTS TO AVENGE KYLIE’S DEATH - BUT WILL HE LIVE TO TELL THE TALE?” Here is your first look at some of the drama ahead for David, as life without Kylie takes a perilous turn. Our sneaky snaps show the bloodied fella cruising for a bruising, as a burly man knocks the stuffing out of him. But who is the violent brute – and what has David done to warrant such a beating? “David is terribly conflicted about the promise he made to Kylie before she died versus the overwhelming urge he has to avenge her death,” explains our Street insider. “He vowed to take care of their children, Max and Lily, but he’s determined to make killer Clayton pay for ending his wife’s life. So is the…

“THIS WAS A TOUGH DECISION FOR BOSSES - BUT CHARACTERS COME AND GO” Hot on the heels of Ronnie and Roxy, EastEnders bosses have confirmed that Lee Carter is also waving goodbye to Walford! Mick and Linda’s eldest son is the latest character to leave the soap following the appointment of new boss Sean O’Connor – who is in the process of crafting some huge new plots for the Square… “Danny-Boy Hatchard [who plays Lee] has been a great addition to the cast and we wish him all the best for the future,” says an EastEnders spokesperson. “This was a tough decision for bosses – but sometimes to create big storylines, characters need to come and go.” Soldier boy Lee raised eyebrows when he joined the…

“THIRTY YEARS AGO, I STARTED AN AMAZING JOURNEY - IT’S BEEN A JOY” Dot Branning is set to receive a blast from the past – as her former neighbour Colin Russell makes a brief return to Walford this week! Star Michael Cashman – who went on to become a campaigner after leaving the soap and was made a lord in 2014 – is reprising the role he played from 1986 to 1989, for a story that will see his alter ego visit Albert Square 27 years after leaving it behind… “It’s been a real joy and indeed a privilege,” says Lord Cashman of his return. “Thirty years ago, I started an amazing journey which helped change the country, and certainly attitudes to lesbian, gay and bisexual people. Arguably without EastEnders,…

Xanthe is crushed this week, after she spots Ben and Madison looking cosy together – and jumps to the conclusion that they’re an item! When the devastated teenager pours her heart out to her gran Sheila, she vows to seek revenge on Xanthe’s behalf – and promptly sacks Madison from her singing gig at the Waterhole! Poor Madison is confused and upset about why she has been unceremoniously ditched, leading angry Ben to confront Xanthe about what’s going on. Will Xanthe discover that there’s some other reason Ben and Madison have been spending so much time with one another recently? Also this week… Paige lands her first professional boxing gig, and Terese plots to ruin Paul’s restaurant opening.…

Sacha turns 50 this week – but he’s soon nursing more than just the birthday blues after he and Essie agree to finish their relationship. It’s no secret the couple have been trying to conceive for a while, but Essie is gutted as her attempts to fall pregnant continue to fail. It prompts her to tearfully tell Sacha that they should give up their quest for children – but it’s clear that isn’t what she really wants. With that, Sacha tells Essie that he loves her, before finally admitting that he never wanted another child. As they make the heartbreaking decision to go their separate ways, is this the end for Sacha and Essie? Also this week… Will Fletch survive his stabbing hell?…

TWISTED PHELAN MANAGES to wreck Eileen’s relationship with Todd this week, when a massive argument sees the angry mother chuck out her own son. Todd sets his eyes to roll after hearing that Phelan has made Eileen ‘concepts executive’ of his new development, correctly realising that this gesture is just a ruse to keep her out of Phelan’s hair. Although Eileen is overjoyed at getting this seemingly pivotal role, it’s really the nasty builder’s way of shipping her off to design shows across the country – while he is left to swindle Jason’s inheritance. If only Eileen would listen to Todd, who continues to warn her that Phelan is playing her for a fool. But when Todd mouths off, Eileen hits the roof and tells him to move out if…

As Emmerdale’s ditzy Tricia Dingle, Sheree Murphy won the hearts of the nation. So we’re happy to report that Sheree herself is every bit as warm and bubbly as the fabulous Tricia – which is why the star has been signed for her latest role as the presenter of cooking competition Yes Chef .

I haven’t been watching much recently because I’ve been abroad filming, but I managed to keep up with Big Brother, and I’m quite proud of that! I know a lot of people find it trashy, but I love it – my favourites this year were Jackson and Lateysha. People Just Do Nothing is one of my favourite TV shows of all time. The humour is just right up my street, I think that it’s hilarious – I have cried laughing watching it, it’s so good. I love Chewing Gum on E4 as well – I’ve heard they’re filming series two, and I’m so excited! My favourite film is really old, it’s called Good Burger and stars Kenan and Kel. I used to watch them…

RONNIE & ROXY - INTO THE SUNSET? The big news that the Mitchell sisters are bidding farewell to Walford came as a bolt from the blue. Inside Soap readers had a lot to say on the subject – plus some suggestions for an exit storyline… Roxy should crush Ronnie into a cube – like what happened to poor Fatboy! That was all Ronnie’s fault and I’ll never forgive her. Fiona, via email I can understand why EastEnders has axed Ronnie and Roxy, as they’ve long since had nothing of interest to say or do. They were great when they first came into the show, but now they both seem to be going through the motions – especially with Jack back. Send them off to Ibiza until…
