“Pub landlady is the best job in soap…” There’s no greater postion in soap than pub landlady. Not only can you lord it behind that bar, feeling like the Queen of the Street, Square or village – but you also hear all the gossip, have an uninterrupted view of all the big showdowns, and you can help yourself to a bag of crisps and a glass of Coke anytime, day or night. What’s not to love? This year has been very generous to us soap viewers, gifting us two fantastic new landladies. Firstly, the Rovers Return’s Jenny Connor, who truly embodies the snobbery of Annie Walker and posseses the backchat of Bet Lynch, while adding her own unique lack of tact to any occasion! And over in Hollyoaks village this…

What was your reaction when you first heard that Mick would be sent to jail? It’s tied in lovely with the Stuart storyline. With Stuart, all bets are off – anything can happen. And what I’m really pleased about is that we don’t just leave it at the prison gates, we actually delve into the darkness of what it’s like to try to survive in jail. I’m really happy to be focussed on that. Was it odd to be out of the Vic and on the prison set? The job changes when you go off the Square. We built a set within the studio and I was interacting with different characters, so it didn’t feel like EastEnders for a bit. I really think we’ve nailed it. It was very well…

Walford bosses have revealed the big story that will tie in with Louisa Lytton’s return – her character Ruby Allen will be raped. The attack itself will not be seen on screen, but viewers will witness the aftermath when Ruby confides in Stacey about the assault following a party they both attend. As Stacey stands by her friend, it will soon become clear that the perpetrator has a very different version of events, which will spark much debate between the characters about the issue of consent… “From the original story of Kathy and Willmott-Brown, to the abuse of Little Mo by her husband Trevor, and Linda’s attack by Dean, EastEnders has always been at the forefront of dealing with these topical and sensitive issues,” said the Square’s executive consultant, John…

Taylor trauma! Keegan will continue to feel the devastating effect of losing Shakil to knife crime in “hard-hitting stuff” due to hit EastEnders next month, says his real-life alter Zack ego, Morris. It’s only words! Boyzone’s Keith Duffy – Ciaran McCarthy in Corrie – has been asked to return by the soap’s bosses “a couple of times”. Sadly, he turned them down, as he now lives in Ireland and the soap is filmed in Manchester. Boo! Action stations! Disaster will strike in Hollyoaks this autumn as the soap prepares to air its biggest-ever stunt, according to star Ross Adams (Scott). “After finishing work recently, I was not my usual groomed self…” he teases.…

MARRY KAREN! Now Keanu knows how bad Phil really is, the last thing he’d want is his family getting involved. Karen and Phil shared some friendly banter recently, so imagine if Phil decided to make her the next Mrs Mitchell? Stepfather Phil would be a lifetime punishment for Keanu! GET GRANT! What’s scarier than one of Sharon’s hard-man husbands baying for your blood? Two of them! This would be the perfect chance for the brothers Mitchell to put Sharongate behind them and unite against Keanu. We don’t fancy his chances… DO NOTHING! Can you imagine how chilling it would be if Phil didn’t swear to end Keanu? A cold front of indifference would surely be masking the most terrible revenge plan. If Phil let Keanu know he was biding his…

Gary starts to panic this week, as he realises that he still can’t afford to pay the rest of Xanthe’s university fees. He manages to convince Steph to give him a promotion and a pay rise after boosting income at the Flametree, which means that the bank is finally willing to give him a loan – but the process will take two weeks. So, to raise the funds, Gary sinks to desperate measures and steals Jeremy’s dodgy $100,000 from the Retreat! Will his dishonest actions come back to bite him?…

Daniel is set to make his television debut this week – but with Zara otherwise engaged, it’s Emma who accompanies him to his first shopping-channel appearance. The GP is already unsettled thanks to Zara winding him up about his fake tan, so when his camera rehearsal goes wrong because his mouth is dry, he’s mortified. With Emma having a good old nosey elsewhere in the studio, however, it’s down to Daniel to pull himself together, unsupported. So, as the cameras start rolling, can he set the small screen alight?…

WHO SHOT STUART? EastEnders’ Carter clan have found themselves under the microscope in the wake of Stuart’s shooting – but which of them actually pulled the trigger? And can you blame them for snapping? I don’t believe for one second that any of the Carters is capable of shooting Stuart. It had to be Dylan! Mick and Linda are both too nice to try to kill someone. And while Shirl has been trigger-happy in the past, I don’t think she would have cared enough to waste a bullet on Stuart! Don, Manchester Has Linda never watched a cop show before? Getting rid of the gun in the canal was the worst thing she could do! It’s clear that she didn’t shoot Stuart as she just isn’t cut out for a…

1 “ Bev Callard [who plays Steve’s mum Liz] deserves a medal for putting up with me, messing around and throwing things at her. I fill her handbag with props when she’s not looking!” 2 “I love doing scenes with Sue Nicholls [who plays Audrey], as she is completely bonkers! If we’re ever in scenes together they usually take a while to get shot. We’re very naughty!” 3 “ Connor McIntyre was the best villain I’ve ever seen! He was just so good as Pat Phelan. If the man isn’t in the next Bond film, there’s something seriously wrong with the world!” 4 “ Kym Marsh and I really missed each other when Steve and Michelle broke up. We’d talk and laugh between scenes, and helped each other through the…

“I’m dying to come to London and meet all the British Neighbours fans!” enthuses Aussie star April Rose Pengilly, aka Erinsborough’s Chloe, as she joins us on the phone from her home in Melbourne. “When I first started on the show, a lot of the cast warned me that the fans are quite critical of new characters coming in – it’s like, ‘Who is this strange person in my living room every night?’ But I’ve had nothing but incredible fan support, and I’m so grateful the viewers have embraced me the way they have.” Given that Chloe got a lot of people’s backs up when she first arrived on Ramsay Street, it’s a miracle the fans have taken her into their hearts so quickly! Six months on, and Chloe’s still…

It’s been more than six months since Charley Webb (Debbie) and Matthew Wolfenden (David) were married in front of family, friends and co-stars, but it seems there’s already been trouble brewing – Matthew has stopped wearing his wedding ring! But don’t worry, this is more down to family strife than lovers’ squabbles… “I keep losing my ring,” he confesses. “I’ve been wearing a different one to the one from our wedding day for the past four months, as I thought I’d lost it. Charley put on her shoes the other day, and my ring was inside one of them. Our son Bowie put the ring in one of her boots!” Meanwhile, the pair recently took two-year-old Bowie and his brother Buster, aged eight, on their belated honeymoon to Walt Disney…

As media family drama Succession winds its way towards its first-season finale, the action moves across the Atlantic in the final two episodes as the majority of the story takes place at Shiv and Tom’s wedding at an English castle. While Brit star Matthew Macfadyen, who plays Tom, was happy to be closer to home, he tells us that it was a while before he knew where he’d be heading. “It was funny, there were whispers for months before,” recalls the actor. “People were saying, ‘Malta’, then someone else said, ‘No, it’s Morocco’, and then it was the Amalfi Coast – and then it was the Welsh borders!” In this episode we’ll finally meet Lady Caroline Collingwood (Harriet Walter), the mother of Logan Roy’s children, and…

RYAN’S HOME 2018 Celebrity Big Brother winner Ryan Thomas was welcomed home in style – with a massive party in his favourite restaurant in Manchester! The star’s friends and family – including brothers Adam and Scott, and a whole host of his former Corrie cast mates – were in attendance at the bash, which celebrated Ryan’s victory in the reality TV show. But Ryan’s UK pals weren’t the only ones who were delighted to see him triumph in the Big Brother house – he also received an influx of messages from his former Neighbours co-stars over in Oz! Aww! LARRY PITCHES IN Former EastEnders villain Larry Lamb (Archie Mitchell) is coming back to BBC1 for a new family daytime drama, Pitching In, set around a Welsh caravan park. Larry will…

BULLSEYE! So… Lachlan tried to kill Sam because he found out that Lachlan had killed Paul Tozer, who found out that Lachlan had killed Gerry, who found out that Lachlan had killed Lawrence and Chrissie – dad and sister of Rebecca, who Lachlan nearly killed after she caught him trying to kill Robert and Liv, who had just-about found out that he’d killed Gerry. Right. We’re glad we have that clear. Jim is many things – but would he really pretend that his beloved daughter, who died as a newborn, is still alive? That’s a huge step too far, even for him. Also: can he seriously believe that 26-year-old Hannah is into him? It sounds as if Gerry is getting his own community garden named after him. For a bit-part…

As a long-time fan of Neighbours , Inside Soap is giddy to hear whispers of a return for original Ramsay Street resident Jim Robinson! Now, the sad truth of the matter is that Jim is dead, after suffering a fatal heart attack back in 1993. But star Alan Dale – who was recently pictured on set with screen son Stefan Dennis (Paul) – has let slip that he’s in the middle of filming new material for the show. The actor posted a cheeky snap of a welcome greeting he received that read ‘G’day, Mr Dale,’ and elaborated with the following caption. “The message I received at the [Dynasty] studios in Atlanta, where I’m shooting stuff for Neighbours,” teased Alan. “Look out for it…

Darren’s world looks set to crumble this week – after Tom and Jack discover his affair with Mandy! Although Darren recently put a stop to his naughty fling with his best mate’s missus – having decided that his future was with his wife Nancy and their kids – the truth was bound to be exposed eventually. But the big question is: how long will it be before Nancy finds out? “Darren has finally realised that all the lying and cheating is wrong, and that he’s fallen back in love with his wife,” explains Ashley Taylor Dawson, who plays the love rat. “He knows he’s made some terrible mistakes, but Darren believes that he can mend everything. He’s realised that his family is the most important thing, so he’s trying to…

“Now that Ian Smith no longer plays Harold Bishop in Neighbours , I think the actor should come and play the same role in Coronation Street . He could be the brother of Emily Bishop’s late husband Ernest!” …dreams reader AP Miller “ Rodney in Emmerdale needs a woman more his own age. I’m happy to volunteer! But if not me, they should bring back Vicki Michelle from ’Allo ’Allo! as Patricia Foster. She was great!” …says reader Mrs Wright from Lincoln “The big question that nobody has asked about the EastEnders shooting drama: Where was Tracey the barmaid during all of this? I’ll bet she hated Stuart as much as the…

Aaron and Robert’s stag night ends in dramatic fashion this week, as Chas goes into labour! She and Paddy are having a wonderful evening, but when the contractions begin, Chas realises that it’s time to meet their little girl – before they have to say a tearful goodbye… “Paddy and Chas have gone through so much turmoil in recent months, and Aaron’s stag do is the perfect chance for them to let their hair down a little and forget about their troubles,” sighs our Emmerdale insider. “With so much merriment in the pub, Chas feels like her old self again, as she and Paddy enjoy getting back to their fun-loving ways and singing karaoke. Just as it seems as though it’ll be a stress-free night, Chas realises that her contractions…

FAIR CITY Jane learns about Callum’s money troubles this week, but chooses to hide it from Paul. Will she come to regret her decision? Elsewhere, Keogh continues to threaten Damien, and things go from bad to worse when Robbie arrives home battered and bruised. RIVER CITY Arrangements are made for a funeral this week, but the arrival of an estranged relative threatens to scupper the small ceremony. Bob makes it clear he has no intention of attending – until he reads a shocking confession! Elsewhere, Lockie is out of his coma. THE ARCHERS It’s judgement time for Freddie, as the day of his sentencing arrives. But with Elizabeth urging him to confess, what will be the outcome? Also this week, the future of Bridge Farm is finally decided, and Emma…

Inside Soap magazine would like to call upon its loyal readers! In the 26 years since we published our first edition, we’ve covered every instance of love, lust, lies and laughter in Weatherfield, Walford, Emmerdale village and beyond – and we want to hear from those of you who have been with us since the start. So, if you were one of those who picked us up from the newsstand back in 1992, and have done so ever since, we urge you to get in touch – especially if you still have the very first issue we ever published!…

For such a straight-talking, honest lady, it’s crazy that Moira Dingle is in possession of one of the village’s darkest secrets. Only a handful of people know that she pushed evil Emma Barton off the viaduct to her death, and that son Adam took the blame for her and went on the run. Adam’s decision destroyed his happy life with wife Victoria, and Moira has let her daughter-in-law believe that he was a killer. But this week, as Victoria and Matty give in to their feelings for each other, Moira is forced to face up to what she did… “Moira hates telling lies, and this one is getting messy!” shares Natalie J Robb, who plays the troubled farmer. “There have been a lot of questions about Adam and how things…

After recently losing his ex-wife, paramedic Sam, Dylan faces yet another tragedy this week, when Ciara miscarries their baby in the ED – and Casualty star Will Beck tells us that his character is putting on an unemotional front… Hi Will! It’s a devastating week for Dylan as he finds out that Ciara is pregnant with his baby – and then she has a miscarriage… It’s taken him by surprise, in terms of his feelings for her, and I think the strength of her feelings for him too. And then he discovers she’s pregnant! So he’s confronted with not only the pregnancy, but the very imminent loss of the baby. Now they share something absolutely catastrophic. Do you think that they will be able to make…

She’s finally set to walk down the aisle, having struggled to organise the big event last year, but Corrie’s Tina O’Brien (Sarah) made sure she celebrated her last days as a bachelorette in style. Surrounded by her cobbles girls – including long-time friends Samia Longchambon (Maria) and Jane Danson (Leanne) – the bride-to-be enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the Titanic Spa in Yorkshire, before she’s set to wed fiancée Adam Crofts later this year. Also part of the bride tribe was Sair Khan (Alya), Julia Goulding (Shona) and Tina’s on-screen daughter Lucy Fallon (Bethany), who laughed, danced and played some naughty games. Tina took to Instagram to thank her best friend Esther Morgan for organising her glamorous send-off: “We met when we were 11, year 7, first day in high…

We’re used to seeing Karl Pilkington travelling around the world for shows such as Sky’s An Idiot Abroad and The Moaning Of Life , and more often than not having a fairly rough time of it. In this new series, he’s similarly battered by life – but under different circumstances… This time it’s a scripted comedy-drama in which Karl plays a cabbie named (wait for it) Karl, whose long-term girlfriend has just left him. Not only that, but the real Karl is pulling double duty in the show and also appearing as Karl’s inner voice, who offers him advice on the various situations he finds himself in – not all of it terribly helpful, it has to be said. Here’s Karl to provide…

LUCY-JO HUDSON (Donna-Marie Quinn, Hollyoaks ) IN After catching a glimpse of Romeo’s mum, Donna-Marie, in a flashback episode in July, we can reveal that she’s finally on her way to the village! And former Corrie star Lucy-Jo Hudson – who plays her – has promised that big trouble will follow in Donna-Marie’s wake… “Oh, she is nasty!” she grins. “There’s not a nice bit in this woman, but it’s lovely to play! It’s different from anything I’ve done.” But how will James react when he comes face to face with Donna-Marie after all these years? Next Week LEONARD FENTON (Dr Harold Legg, EastEnders ) IN The 92-year-old actor, who appeared in EastEnders’ first-ever episode back in 1985, is returning to the role of…

A bi’s chances of winning back custody of her twins in Corrie are looking pretty slim given these shocking pictures, which show the former addict slumped on the street and nursing a bottle of vodka. Our spies spotted actress Sally Carman (Abi) filming the heartbreaking scenes on location, where worse-for-wear Abi can be seen spying on children Lexi and Charlie from afar while they happily interact with their foster parents. With the agony of being separated from her kids proving too much for fragile Abi to handle, is her drinking just the beginning as she heads down a very slippery slope? “Abi has come so far with her rehabilitation, so the idea that she’s set to undo all of her hard work is absolutely crippling,” sighs…

The residents of Albert Square can breathe a sigh of relief, as incoming EastEnders chief Kate Oates reveals that she’s not planning on bumping off any characters – yet! Often when a new executive producer takes over a soap, there is potential for a mass exodus – as they attempt to put their own stamp on the show. But Kate has no desire for a huge shake-up. “It’s always been the case that cast members come and go from serial dramas, but I’m not a fan of big axing sprees,” Kate told Metro.co.uk ahead of joining the BBC next month, where she will also oversee Casualty and Holby City. “I think you have to have faith in the talent you inherit, and need to work out…

Some soap affairs can be thrilling to watch – yet Ashley tells us that most Hollyoaks viewers have not been on board with Darren and Mandy’s secret fling whatsoever… “There are a few old-school fans who like it, as Darren and Mandy do have history,” he admits. “But most people are disgusted by the affair, because obviously it’s not right! “The diehard ‘Dancy’ fans are not happy with me at all,” adds Ashley. “People have been coming up to me and saying, ‘Darren, you’re being a naughty boy right now!’ But hopefully the viewers still have a little bit of love for him.”…

Smitten Sharon is consumed by a jealous fury this week – when she spies her secret toy-boy lover Keanu getting closer to Hayley. Caught up in the thrill of her sexy affair with toy boy Keanu, Sharon is unable to manage her emotions as she begins to wonder if she could lose him to Hayley. However, after she overreacts and causes a fuss in front of Keanu, it could be Sharon who ruins everything, not the pregnant Slater. “Sharon’s lost her head over Keanu – she can’t believe her luck!” “Truth be told, Sharon has completely lost her head over Keanu – she can’t believe her luck,” says our EastEnders spy. “Her reckless behaviour has put everything that she has in jeopardy. If Phil ever found out about her betrayal,…

Hello, Charles! How does it feel returning to Coronation Street this time around? It’s my 40th year in the business this year, so it’s a bit like riding a bike! It’s a job that I enjoy and am proud of, plus I share a dressing room with Simon Gregson [Steve], so that’s good. Why did Jim originally decide to go ahead with the plan? I don’t think that he’s the instigator of the idea, but now he’s in it up to his neck. As soon as he sees Liz, he realises that he’s made a mistake. He wants her back, yet he’s in too deep. Jim makes mistakes, though he’s not a bad man. Does Jim feel as if he and Hannah are going too far…

“I don’t do DNA. I’ve seen the misery it causes on daytime television. I trust my instincts a lot more than that Jeremy Kyle and his brown envelopes any day of the week. He’s not a scientist!” In short: Jeremy Kyle definitely didn’t get an ‘-ology’. “I love Belle. I thought she loved me the same. I thought we were going to be together forever, but she let me down over and over again – believed other people over me, broke promises, when she is the reason I’ve done everything. And she’s not even grateful.” Yeah, Belle – how thoughtless can you get? “What’s that? Cora’s secret recipe?” “Coffee is the last thing you need. Lemon, honey, bit of boiling water and a drop of tabasco on the top, that’ll…

Blake meets his paternal grandma, Omo, for the first time this week – and she’s played by former EastEnders actress Ellen Thomas (Claudette Hubbard). After pressing his dad for more details about his grandmother, Blake is disappointed to hear that Jacob doesn’t get along with Omo. However, despite Jacob’s less than glowing description of his mother, Blake is determined to meet her for himself – and rocks up at her workplace! But how will Jacob react when he finds out that his son went behind his back?…

We love the Vic and Matty romance story, but what’s missing is Adam Barton. Actor Adam Thomas left the show a while back and enjoyed success in the jungle as a contestant on I’m A Celebrity. Is there any chance he could be tempted back to the Dales? “Adam’s just had another little girl with his wife Caroline, so his priorities are somewhere else at the moment,” explains Natalie. “I love Adam to bits – I’d love him to come back and throw a spanner in the works. What would the show be without spanners?!” Besides concentrating on his family, Adam has some exciting stuff in the pipeline – including a role in the stage version of Nativity – but we can’t help wishing that he’d drop back to Butlers…

Emmerdale’s Ryan is one of our favourite characters – but if there’s one thing even more adorable than the real Ryan, it’s this lovingly crocheted ‘mini-me’, made by crafty Dales fan Sarah Mulligan from Newark. Actor James Moore was delighted with his doll, made as a gift by Sarah after James admired her equally cute Charity and Vanessa dolls. You can check out mouch more of Sarah’s work in her online store: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/BlanketsandBeanies…
