Inside Soap UK37 - 2018的目錄

“The twists and turns get more twisty and turny!” It’s such an action-packed week in the soaps this issue, we can hardly keep up! I’ve been gripped by the twisty-turny saga of Emmerdale’s Lachlan and Rebecca, and although we now know Rebecca’s alive and well (or alive and highly medicated, to be more accurate!), those twists and turns just keep getting more twisty and turny. Turn to p22 for all the latest drama! Elsewhere, we all had an inkling that Jim’s return to Corrie wasn’t quite on the level, and we’re about to discover just how twisted his plan is – see p24 for an update on that. Over in Walford, Hayley is getting comfy at the Slaters’ after a distinctly rocky start, but her feet are about to be…

The former mayor of Weatherfield could end up jailed this week, as she appears in court charged with fraud! Poor Sal is preparing for her pre-trial hearing, knowing full well that she’s an innocent woman. But she’ll have her work cut out for her trying to prove that, especially after she sacks her lawyer Paula – having caught her in a steamy embrace with Sophie! “Sally’s innocent, and she’s convinced she doesn’t need Paula!” declares Sally Dynevor, who plays the disgraced lady. “In Sal’s opinion, Paula doesn’t know what she’s doing anyway as she has her mind on something else – Sophie! These are the two people who Sally trusted more than anyone, the two people she thought she could rely on.” As the week kicks off, Sally thinks she…

Rebecca White proved that she has more lives than a cat when Lachlan revealed that he hadn’t killed his aunt after all! It turns out that Rebecca has been secretly guarded by a nurse all along – so star Emily Head had her work cut out pretending to be dead for all these weeks… “It’s been really difficult!” exclaims the star who, in real life, has been visiting family and friends in Kent while Rebecca has been locked up. “Everyone who recognises me from the show kept asking me, ‘Is Rebecca dead or alive?’ They try to push you on it! “Anytime that I came into work, I tried to make sure that no one saw me entering the building, so as not to give the game away,” adds Emily.…

“Who did Graham in Emmerdale call to tell them that they ‘won’t like’ the fact that Joe and Debbie are now engaged? Please let it be Kim Tate! It would be amazing if it was!” …pleads reader Ali from Stoke-on-Trent “ Corrie’s Jude has to be caught out in his lies soon. It should be like The Boy Who Cried Wolf . Do they have wolves in Weatherfield? Or he could claim to have a fatal illness and no one would believe him until he dropped dead from it.” …suggests reader Rob “In real life, I’m sure the Vic would be closed, due to all the deaths or near-deaths on or beside the property. The Carters should charge for a…

Drug dealer Ronan Truman turns up on the cobbles again this week, and he’s demanding a big favour from an old associate! The trafficker collars Adam in the street, and wastes no time in telling the lawyer what it is he’s after. And despite himself, Adam feels compelled to do what he can to help… “If you remember, Adam was supposed to give Ronan the money from the sale of the drugs that Rosie had hidden early last year,” summarises our Corrie insider. “But Ken burnt the money, so the way Ronan sees it, Adam still owes him – big time! It just so happens Ronan’s son, Cormac, has been released from a young offenders’ institute, and the dutiful dad wants Adam to see if he can pull a few…

Mac arrives back in the village this week after recovering from locked-in syndrome – but how will the locals react? Upon leaving hospital, Mac is delighted to finally be home in Hollyoaks – and while Alfie is pleased, the rest of the Nightingale family are anything but. In particular, older son James is appalled to find out that evil Mac has returned to the fold – and offers Sylver a generous £10,000 to get rid of him in whichever way he wants to! Will Mac stick around? Or is he on his way out already?…

Emmerdale fans have seen a different side to Hotten Academy’s headteacher Jessie Grant in recent weeks. Although she’s been in the village since November, Jessie’s family has been largely kept a mystery up to now. We know that she has two former husbands – one dead and one divorced – but it’s only since the arrival of her son Ellis that we’ve discovered more… “I think it’s going to be exciting for the audience to learn more about Jessie and her history,” beams Sandra Marvin, who plays her. “All the good and bad bits – and the secrets she has in her closet!” We’re intrigued to hear more about her relationship with Ellis. It seems as if Jessie is pleased to be reunited with her son, even though his arrival…

The techinical issues of filming… Rebekah tells us that it wasn’t just the age gap that initially worried her about this plot… “I’m so little and voluptuous, and Tim’s so tall and slim – I just thought, ‘How’s this going to work?!’” she confesses. “We couldn’t be more different! I’ve had to stand on boxes for the kissing scenes. “I did feel a little bit insecure at first,” adds Bek. “But Tim’s a true gentleman, and just humoured me. He’s divine!”…

I have taken up ballroom dancing, through Lydia! I did classes for some of her scenes, and now I’ve graduated from the beginner class to the intermediate! I started to learn as it was Lydia’s backstory – she was a ballroom dancer 20-odd years ago. It’s really enjoyable. I love the quickstep, and if you get the kicks and flicks right in the jive, it looks as if you’re pretty good at it! Every week, we put your questions to a star of the soaps. Look out for requests on our Facebook page, or email your questions to youask@insidesoap.co.uk, putting the actor’s name in the subject line. Our favourite question each week will win a £20 prize!…

Dr Christian Jessen and Dr Sara Kayat continue their quest to bring medical support to communities across the UK, as they go to Southampton’s student heartlands this week. Inside TV asked the duo about their experiences… “There’s been so much in the press about how overworked GPs are,” Dr Christian tells us. “That has a negative impact on patients who put off seeing them. It’s sad the number of times that I hear, ‘I didn’t feel it was worth bothering my GP’.” “A lot of people hide these issues for so long and it eats away at them,” agrees Dr Sara. “It’s no longer about the physical issue – it’s more about the psychological issue associated with it. Being able to open up about it is often just that release…

“The process of sharing this experience with people – of them creating something from scratch – is really powerful,” enthuses Kevin McCloud, as Inside TV sits down with him to chat about the upcoming 19th series of Grand Designs – the show featuring ambitious architectural projects. “If you’ve ever knitted something, or made a piece of furniture, or even cooked a meal,” continues the presenter, “the pleasure you get from that process is fantastic. Building a house is probably the biggest single act of creativity most of us will ever go through.” Whether you love to see projects of great scale come to fruition, or bizarre plans falling to pieces when they come smacking into reality, viewers are unlikely to be disappointed by the subjects of…

While being banged up may be the ex-mayor’s worst nightmare, star Sally would love to see a Bad Girls-style plot unfold on screen… “I’m excited about seeing her out of her comfort zone, and how it will affect her,” she grins. “She will no doubt make enemies, but she’ll want to make a difference. Sally will never sit back and do nothing! She will try to make something good come out of the worst-possible scenario. “I’m enjoying this story so much,” adds Sally. “This might be one of my favourite storylines during my time here!”…

David’s harrowing rape story is building towards its conclusion, says Corrie actor Ryan Clayton. The star – who plays abuser Josh – has teased his inevitable exit from the cobbles… “It’s crucial that we give the storyline the right ending,” stresses Ryan. “The main thing is that the story concludes when David has peace of mind – that’s the most important aspect.” Ryan is staying tight-lipped on how David might find closure from his ordeal, so we’ll have to wait and see how events play out. Since going blind as a result of vicar Billy warning a potential rape victim what Josh is capable of, the haunted fella has shown an interest in seeking forgiveness through prayer. Meanwhile, Ryan has expressed a desire of his own,…

As Diane deals with Dee Dee’s treatment this week, she must do so alone – as hubby Tony is still AWOL. The frazzled dad walked out weeks ago, unable to cope with the thought of losing yet another daughter. With so much else on her mind, Diane has given up searching for him, instead focussing all her attention on her sick little girl. But with Dee Dee’s condition worsening by the day, Ste decides that Tony needs to be tracked down! After posting messages on social media, Ste is given hope when he receives a message from someone claiming to be Tony. So could the missing father be coming home soon?…

FAIR CITY All hell breaks loose in Carrigstown this week – when a horrific event occurs that has huge repercussions for the community. And as if that wasn’t enough tragedy, someone is struck in a shocking hit-and-run! Who is injured? Also, tensions rise for Carol, Yates and co. RIVER CITY The drama is also relentless in Shieldinch this week, as Theresa and Scarlett are forced to work together in order to escape the construction offices after an epic explosion. Meanwhile, Lydia is rushed to hospital due to the horrific injuries she’s suffered – will she survive? THE ARCHERS Tensions are high this week, as the final cricket match commences between the Ambridge and Darrington teams – who will be victorious? Elsewhere, Freddie is giving up all hope as his day…

The thing I loved most about David and Aaron’s wedding was that there was no real drama – it was just about two people in love pledging to spend the rest of their lives together. Nothing exploded, nobody confessed a secret affair. It really reminded me of Scott and Charlene’s wedding – so let’s hope David and Aaron will be happily married for just as long! Kerry What a lovely touch, seeing David and Aaron walk down the aisle to Kylie and Jason’s Especially For You. It’s great that Neighbours gives fans these little nods to the good old days, it really feels like the bosses are making the show for those of us who have been watching for over 30 years! Jude, Exeter But some of you were a…

When Ruby Allen left Walford in the back of a taxi, shattered over her father’s death and seething after rows with best mate Stacey and lover Sean, it seemed there was nothing left for her in Albert Square. Since then, the residents have barely spared the spoilt gangster’s daughter a second thought, so it comes as quite a surprise this week when Ruby returns to her old stomping ground. But not as much of a surprise as it was for actress Louisa Lytton… “I think that deep down Ruby is really quite lonely” “I haven’t been in the show for 12 years, so it was a bit of a shock!” admits the 29-year-old actress. “I got a phone call from John Yorke [EastEnders’ executive consultant] asking if I would like…

It’s a challenge to be introduced to each other one moment, then play mum and son the next – but Sandra feels lucky to have been teamed with Asan N’Jie, who plays Ellis. “He’s a bundle of fun, and a little ray of sunshine!” she raves when we mention his name. “Asan just has so much energy, and he’s really loving his life. So yeah, it’s exciting working opposite him.” So, after many months in the Dales, did Sandra give him the benefit of her experience so far? “All I told him was, ‘Pinch yourself and love every minute!’” she grins.…

DO! get used to your cellmate Your cellmate is the perfect person to show you the ropes, explain when the gruel is served up, and point out which fellow prisoners not to be caught alone with in a dark corner. But that’s not the only reason for getting accustomed to their face – because, chances are, they’ll only follow you back home once you’re out! From Corrie’s poor Deirdre Rachid with Tyrone’s mum Jackie Dobbs, to EastEnders’ Phil and his old cellmate Aidan Maguire, soap history is littered with old lags who wanted to lay close to their old roomies. In fact, the only way Emmerdale’s Lachlan could break his chains to poor Gerry Roberts was to cut ties… for good! DO! look out for a familiar face While your…

Mothers united TWO NEW SOAP MUMS WANT TO HELP OTHERS… You’d think they’d have their hands full, having both given birth to baby girls recently, but soap stars Helen Flanagan (Corrie’s Rosie Webster) and Jacqueline Jossa (EastEnders’ Lauren Branning) are thrusting ahead with new projects. Helen has launched her own line in maternity lingerie with a set of photos taken while she was nine months pregnant with her daughter – after whom the range, Delilah Ruby, is named. “I’ve been working on this since the start of the year,” explains Helen. “I wanted to create a brand that combined my passion of being a mother and breastfeeding, alongside my love of lingerie and modelling.” Meanwhile, Jacqueline has launched a new Instagram account (@jacsmumtum) to help other new mums get back…

SOMETIMES KEEPING UP with our favourite shows can be hard work – 5STAR originally abandoned this US sitcom halfway through its second year. Eventually it returned and now we’re hoping they don’t pull anything similar with this third season. Fresh Off The Boat follows the Huang family after their move from the Chinatown district of Washington DC to Orlando, Florida. We can’t get enough of the brilliant Constance Wu as fearsome matriarch Jessica, trying to achieve the American Dream while ensuring her children don’t lose touch with their Taiwanese heritage.…

BE ON TV Returning Channel 5 series Shop Smart: Save Money, hosted by Gaby Roslin and Fiona Phillips, is looking for families keen to cut their spending.

NATHAN SUSSEX (Buster Smith, Hollyoaks ) IN He may currently be languishing in jail, having been charged with two counts of sexual abuse – but we certainly haven’t seen the last of vile football coach Buster! “I can assure you that the story will be ongoing for years,” says Hollyoaks’ executive producer Bryan Kirkwood. “We have Buster’s trial coming up, that transmits in January, and we have different journeys ahead for Ollie and Brody – the ripple effects will influence their ongoing stories and their future relationships. We’re now storylining into March next year, and both characters are still living with the consequences.” January 2019 MADELEINE WEST (Andrea Somers/ Dee Bliss, Neighbours ) IN Neighbours fans certainly haven t heard the last…

But with Daz standing in the way, how far will Liam go to get his woman?…

BULLSEYE! The most moving scenes this week involved Hollyoaks’ Ollie and Brody, as they admitted the abuse they’d suffered at the hands of paedophile Buster, and found the strength to denounce him. Tremendous work from Aedan Duckworth and Adam Woodward – not to mention Nathan Sussex in the no-less challenging role of Buster – and a major contribution to the Break the Silence campaign. We love bisexual solicitor Paula with her wonky hairdo and one big earring. But best is the tantalising possibility of a father-daughter love triangle – which would be a genuine first for Corrie! Do friends – besties even – sit this close? ‘Just mates’ you say, Matty? Give over. Party organiser Mary. We’d buy that action figure. Upper-class Lewis is almost too…

Village favourite Michael Parr has played hard man Ross Barton for half a decade – though with his Dales departure imminent, the star is getting ready for the unknown… “The world’s my oyster, and I’m ready to go!” he shares. “I need to keep my foot in the door, so I’ll be sending letters and auditioning. For the past five years, I’ve watched my bank balance go up and up, and now for the first time in a while I won’t have a job – and I’ll watch it go down!” While we’re sure talented Mike won’t be short of offers, it’s clear that the actor is someone who’ll need to be kept busy in the interim. “I’ll freak out!” he admits. “I’ll be that guy in the gym all…

Change the channel! Beverley Callard, aka Liz in Corrie, has confessed to not watching the Street in over a decade – but admits she does tune in for one of the soap’s biggest rivals. “I do love a bit of Emmerdale!” she confesses. Let’s get it on! After months of teasing us with a potential romance for Holby’s Jac and Fletch, he will finally lay his heart on the line and tell her how he feels this autumn. But will Jac give in to her feelings, too? Raffy’s hellhole! Terror is on the Summer Bay horizon for Raffy, when she tumbles down a hole and suffers a serious head injury. The poor injured girl is later diagnosed with epilepsy, as a result of sustaining a bleed on the brain. How…

As Hayley questions her suitability as a mother, the father of her baby is on his way back to Walford! New behind-the-scenes pictures released by EastEnders bosses have confirmed that Shane Richie has returned to filming for a new storyline that will see Alfie reunited with his soulmate Kat once more… “Alfie is completely unaware that Hayley changed her mind about having a termination,” an EastEnders spokesperson reminds us. “He gets in touch with Kat out of the blue and enlists her help with a favour – but he is secretly planning a big surprise, and is in London waiting for her!” So is Alfie set to receive the daddy of all shocks if he learns that Hayley is still carrying their child? And will Kat finally discover their betrayal?…

Breda spots the sizzling chemistry between her son Sylver and Mercedes this week – and attempts to matchmake them! Approaching Mercedes, Breda tells her that Sylver is in love with her, and points out that it’s not too late to call off her wedding to Russ!

But will Breda’s words prompt Mercy to ditch Russ in favour of hunky Sylver?…

Holby City viewers are transported back to 1987 this week, as old friends Hanssen, Gaskell and Roxanna begin their journey together at the Ridgen University of Medicine in Boston.

With the fate of his precious Project Lazlo on the line as well, Gaskell is torn as he is forced to question everything that he believes in. How far will he go to preserve what he values most?…

“ It’s a little bit saucy, isn’t it?” giggles Neighbours star Rebekah Elmaloglou, as we quiz her on her character Terese’s steamy romance with younger employee Leo. “When our producer first called me into his office to pitch the idea of Terese and Leo together, I was like, ‘ Whaaatttttt?! No way! Are you serious?’ It was the last thing I was expecting! But I have to say that the feedback we’ve had from viewers has been amazing so far.” This unlikely romance has taken everyone by surprise – including Chloe, who’s stunned to catch the pair getting jiggy on a boat this week! But as we sit down with Rebekah and co-star Tim Kano (Leo) for a chat, they appear to be…

After watching Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s brilliant, BAFTA-winning black comedy Fleabag , we were very excited to see what she would do next – but we most definitely weren’t expecting her follow-up project to be an international espionage thriller. In Killing Eve, deskbound MI5 officer Eve Polastri is bored by her job, and frustrated that her superiors aren’t acting on her hunch that a hired killer they’re trying to track is female – so she decides to do a little investigating of her own. “When you first see Eve, she has a very good relationship with her husband Niko, a good job and great colleagues,” explains former Grey’s Anatomy star Sandra Oh, who plays her. “Everything is fine with her life, but she just happens to be a character…

GET WELL SOON, BABS! EastEnders legend Dame Barbara Windsor (Peggy Mitchell) is currently recovering at home after undergoing an operation to fit a pacemaker. Her husband Scott Mitchell confirmed that she had been treated in hospital for heart complications, believed to be triggered by her Alzheimer’s drugs. “Barbara was suffering from a low heart rate, which doctors thought was being caused by some of her medication,” he revealed. “She was getting very dizzy and short of breath and fainted one day at home, so she had an eight-day hospital spell.” Get well soon, Babs! ADAM GETS FESTIVE Former Emmerdale star Adam Thomas (Adam Barton) will take the stage this Christmas to star in Nativity! The Musical.
