“LEE IS A SELFLESS PERSON - ALL HE WANTS IS FOR WHITNEY TO BE HAPPY” This is the moment when Whitney learns she has a sexually transmitted infection – at the same time as it dawns on Lee that he could have given it to her as a result of his one-night stand with Abi! Poor Whitney – who recently found out that she’s pregnant with Lee’s baby – still has no idea that her fella cheated on her with her mate. But when doctors inform her this week that she’s contracted chlamydia, Lee’s dirty secret is dangerously close to being exposed… “Lee’s not the sharpest tool in the box in some ways,” laughs actor Danny-Boy Hatchard, who plays the mortified Carter lad. “When Whitney receives the news, he doesn’t…

“WATCHING LIN [PAM] AND ROGER [LES] DO THEIR SAD SCENES WAS HARD” EastEnders viewers were left stunned by the shocking twist that Paul had met a sudden and untimely death. The Mitchell family was devastated when that fateful call from the local hospital suggested they’d lost another of their own. However, upon rushing to identify what they thought was Ben’s body, Phil, Ian and co were astonished to realise that the hospital had made a mistake – and that it was in fact Paul who was lying in the mortuary. With Paul’s grandparents Pam and Les now paralysed with grief, star Jonny Labey – who played him – reveals that his character’s death came as a surprise to him, too… How did you react when you learned about…

“NOBODY REALISES THAT DARREN AND NANCY ARE CRIMINAL MASTERMINDS!” Terrified Maxine feels the pressure when the police open up the city wall this week – but can Darren and Nancy get there first and manage to move Patrick’s body before the cops arrive? The police have already begun to suspect that there is more to Patrick’s death than his widow is letting on, and have decided to bring in DS Armstrong to investigate further. However, the force is no match for one quick-thinking couple! “Nobody realises this, but Darren and Nancy are criminal masterminds – they’re actually very clever!” laughs Ashley Taylor Dawson, aka Darren. “Darren was with Maxine the first time he moved the body. They aren’t the brightest pair, but they were lucky the wall happened to be…

“SINCE PHIL THREW HIM OUT, JAY’S LIFE HAS FALLEN APART - HE’S HOPELESS” Troubled Jay needs some good news in his life – and when Louise asks him to help out at the Arches this week, it seems he might have got some. But outraged Phil refuses to have him back on the premises – and shortly after Billy breaks the news to Jay, a shocking development looks set to leave the lad estranged from his former loved ones forever… “Jay is at his lowest ebb, so this lifeline from Louise comes at a perfect time,” says our Walford insider. “In the wake of the Mitchells’ latest tragedy, the last thing Phil needs to be worrying about is the Arches, and Louise rightly reckons that Jay is the ideal candidate…

The last of the Braxtons may be driving out of town for good, but fear not, because another trio of troublesome brothers rock up in Summer Bay this week! Justin, Brody and Mason are the siblings of new doctor Tori Morgan – but if you think the combination of three hunky brothers sounds familiar, rest assured that they’re nothing like the law-dodging Braxton clan… “I think the Morgans have a different dynamic,” explains actor Jackson Heywood, who plays middle brother Brody. “First of all, they’re not criminals – they have professions!” “Family always comes first for the Morgans,” confirms Orpheus Pledger, who plays the youngest brother. “Mason’s older siblings have been his parents, in a way – they’ve helped him grow up. Tori has been a role model for him.”…

Mac is concerned about his fiancée Neeta spending time with hunky hairdressers Adam and Jesse this week.

Neeta has volunteered to help out the boys with their new salon business, and as she throws herself into the work and the banter this week, Mac falls prey to the green-eyed monster. The only option he can see is to offer his own services – which will allow him to keep an eye on the flirty youngsters and nip any trouble in the bud. Of course, Jesse and his brother are pleased to have glamorous Neeta around, and she doesn’t at all mind a flash of Adam’s six-pack. But when Jesse…

Kush, however, is a lot keener on hooking up, and invites Denise to Martin’s birthday drinks. He’s disappointed when Carmel and his brother Shakil join them, while Denise just feels awkward. Sitting with Kush’s family makes her realise more than ever what a bad move it would be if she were to get involved with him – so she finds a quiet moment to tell Kush that she can’t do this any more, and it’s best they…

Paul’s tragic loss comes at a difficult time for Pam and Les – so how are they going to cope without him? Prior to Paul’s death, Pam was battling with her conscience concerning the shock reappearance of Paul’s mum Jenny, whose identity she’d kept hidden from him for years. Added to that trauma was Babe’s blackmail of the Cokers concerning Les’ feminine alter ego Christine – as well as Les’ fragile health. Having already lost their son – Paul’s father, Laurie – the reality of losing Paul as well is almost too much for the couple to bear. And in the immediate aftermath of Paul’s passing, as both Pam and Les struggle to face up to a future without the boy they adored, can they find some kind of comfort…

Jack and his little lad Richard take a crash course in father-son bonding this week, as Jack sets about helping the newcomer settle into his home in Albert Square. After Richard’s mum Sam flew back to Portugal without him, Jack was stunned to find himself left looking after a son he’s had little contact with since he was born. Convinced she is a rubbish parent, Sam reckoned she had no choice but to hand Richard over to his dad in the aftermath of Peggy’s funeral – leaving gobsmacked Jack with no option but to step into the breach and try to make the situation work. It rapidly proves to be a trickier process than Jack had hoped as he tries to coax Richard out of bad habits. However, his previous…

Paul puts the wheels in motion to relaunch his business empire this week, as he makes a bid to buy back his former hotel, Lassiters! When Paul’s sister Lucy – who’s in charge of the entire Lassiters chain – arrives in Erinsborough and delivers the news that the Quill group are selling the hotel, Paul sees his chance to snatch it back… “It’s really a vendetta against Terese, though he has never gotten over losing the hotel in the first place,” explains Stefan Dennis, who plays Paul. “However, he also knows Lucy is no pushover. She’s always going to do things the correct way.” When Terese finds out what Paul is plotting, she decides to bid against him for the hotel. But it’s no surprise that Paul is prepared to…

Despite the fact that Zeedan and Rana are clearly a great match, the spark between them has so far failed to fan into a flame. The dampener has proved to be their differing views on sex before marriage – free spirit Rana is enthusiastic, while Zeedan refuses to even consider it. This week, however, Zeedan spots Rana flirting with another man in Roy’s Rolls – or so he thinks – and his fury and frustration are clocked by his grandma Yasmeen, who advises Zeedan to sort out his differences with the woman he so evidently loves. Later, Rana calls round at No 6 and apologises for failing to respect her would-be boyfriend’s staunch beliefs – but will it be enough to get the young couple squarely back on track?…

JENNY AND JOHNNY may not be together yet, but Richard is hearing wedding bells! “Some of the fans do want to know if there’ll be a wedding ring on Jenny’s finger one day,” he grins. “I’ve deliberately played Johnny without a ring on, because his wife – Kate and Aidan’s mum – died years ago, and I had this image that Johnny threw his wedding band into her grave. “Johnny hasn’t managed to achieve a happy relationship since his wife, so if he ever gets as far as marriage again, that relationship will have a lot of depth. He’s seeking real love, so if he and Jenny do get married one day, Johnny will mean it.”…

Things are pretty quiet in the West Country village of Neston Berry, so there’s not a lot for friends Morpheus, Sarah, Alison and Kent to do apart from get stoned, plan their next tattoo and go to the pub. Sometimes, though, boredom can spur you into being strangely productive, as this new six-part comedy explores. “They have quite a lot of time on their hands,” explains Danny Kirrane, who plays Morpheus. “But it’s about all the interesting things they get up to when they haven’t got much to do, if that makes sense!” Morpheus, in particular, is a dreamer in need of direction, but that direction comes from an unexpected source when Game Of Thrones star Sean Bean appears to him in his dreams, to offer Morpheus some hard-hitting life…

The sun may be hiding this summer, but the rain is definitely putting in an appearance! The cast of Corrie got caught in a downpour while filming on the cobbles – but Weatherfield’s finest came armed with macs and umbrellas, so the likes of Samia Ghadie (Maria), Rhea Bailey (Caz), Shayne Ward (Aidan) and Daniel Brocklebank (Billy) didn’t let a little bit of drizzle deter them, and neither did screen mother and daughter Tina O’Brien (Sarah) and Lucy Fallon (Bethany). Meanwhile, if you think it’s any drier Down Under, take a look at Neighbours hunk Travis Burns (Tyler). He seems to be having a brolly old time!…
