Wedding twists, big returns and explosive showdowns make for one of soap’s biggest weeks of the year to date, and I’ve got a batch of brand new spoilers to preview the drama to come.
Trust me when I say you’re in for a treat!
EastEnders prepares to wave off the incomparable Whitney Dean in a truly unmissable fashion, with the much-loved legend set to tie the knot with Zack Hudson.
In typical Walford style, however, things don’t exactly go to plan, with chaos and heartbreak on the itinerary for the big day.
And speaking of weddings, Hollyoaks’ Joel Dexter prepares to wed Leela Lomax in yet another action-packed week for the Channel 4 soap, which has been knocking it out of the park as of late, while romance blooms for Dillon Ray and Lucas Hay.
Do not miss.
Emmerdale, meanwhile, sees Belle Dingle have enough of husband Tom King’s vile abuse as she lashes out – but violent Tom tries to twist the narrative to his advantage.
And over on the cobbles, Coronation Street’s Roy Cropper comes face-to-face with a dastardly villain while behind bars, with his ordeal set to continue.
For all this and more I’ve got exactly what you need, with a breakdown on next week’s must-see twists, so how about we get stuck in?
EastEnders
Whitney and Zack are a vision of happiness with baby Dolly but, in typical Walford fashion, it’s not long before all hell breaks loose. Britney knows abut Zack’s one night stand with Lauren and contemplates whether or not to tell her as the day of the wedding arrives. Zack urges her to keep shtum, overcome with guilt. Whitney walks down the aisle with baby Dolly, with Britney joining them at the alter as the couple say their vows. Unable to keep quiet, however, Britney drops the infidelity bombshell, which leaves Whitney reeling.
Freddie and big Mo return to the Square, but Freddie’s happiness is short-lived as he realises that there’s no room for him at Alfie’s, meaning he’ll have to live at No. 31.
Anna reaches out to Junior who arrives in Walford to spend time with his sisters. George feels pushed out when he sees his children bonding in The Vic, but the moment is interrupted when newcomers Monique and Xavier arrive – and the Knights discover Junior has a secret family!
Hollyoaks
After being kidnapped by Carter, John Paul pleads for his life at the lake. Carter, however, is too far gone and reveals that he intends to baptise his former lover, dragging him into the water. Will John Paul make it out of this ordeal alive?
Following their heart-to-heart at school, Lucas and Dillon start to feel more comfortable with one another. Dillon promises to keep their newfound romance a secret until Lucas – who has only just come out – is more comfortable with it. Freya, however, feels rejected by the two.
Leela and Joel plan their secret wedding. Liberty, however, accidentally lets slip to Marie, who is seething, with a showdown ensuing between her and the bride-to-be. The morning of the wedding proves upsetting, with Leela unsure if the ceremony is going ahead. Despite everything, the wedding gets underway at The Dog – but not everything goes according to plan!
Emmerdale
Tom agrees to seek help for his violence but, during the appointment, he manipulatively throws Belle under the bus, claiming she has anger issues and asserts coercive control over him. The abuser lies to Belle, stating the appointment went well, but things spiral out of control when he destroys the anniversary of Lisa’s death, with Belle publicly lashing out at him at the village fete – as the villagers watch on in shock.
Ruby fears the worst when she’s learned that Nicky can’t be brought out of his coma just yet. Ethan, meanwhile, is public enemy number one, receiving glaring looks from Caleb, Cain and Ruby as they plot retribution. As the fete gets underway, Charles is concerned as Ethan fails to show up. On the outskirts of the village, Ethan lies bloodied and battered – having been deliberately knocked down. He stumbles into the village, before collapsing in Main Street. The three most likely suspects watch from afar.
Ella beds down in her car, having nowhere to stay. Manpreet finds her asleep the following morning and lets slip to Liam, who suggests that Ella temporarily move into the spare room. Mandy asks after Ella’s family, taking a look at one of her mate’s photograph, but Ella snaps at her, leaving the beautician with some advice for Liam, suggesting he check Ella doesn’t have any skeletons in her closet. Later, we see Ella visit a care home.
