Adam makes his vows to Sarah, while secretly vowing to avenge Gary

he Barlow and Platt families come together this week, for what is arguably the Street wedding of the year – as Adam makes Sarah his wife in a gorgeous fairy-tale ceremony! However, with the bride and her daughter Bethany at loggerheads – and scheming groom Adam taking every opportunity to rub salt in the wounds of Sarah’s former ﬁancé Gary (see p9) – the road to the swanky hotel venue for their marriage is anything but smooth… “This is Weatherﬁeld, so there will always be drama

whenever anyone ties the knot,” scoffs our cobbles insider. “However, in the grand scheme of soap weddings, Sarah and Adam get off pretty lightly. The massive smiles on their faces say it all!” Although, at the start of the week, Sarah is anything but the beaming bride-to-be as she continues to quarrel with Bethany – while also conscious that her daughter’s dramas could spill over into the wedding day itself! “Bethany’s relationship with Adam’s uncle and best man Daniel hasn’t won them many friends on the Street, with his late wife Sinead’s auntie Beth

publicly shaming the pair at every opportunity,” sighs our source. “Sarah’s primary concern, of course, is that Bethany is making a huge mistake getting involved with a man who has just buried his wife. However, there is the added fear that another row could kick off during Sarah and Adam’s nuptials, given that Bethany and Daniel are key members of the bridal party – and half the Street is on the guest list. Daniel can forget his best man’s speech if gobby Beth ends up getting hold of the microphone!” CONTINUED OVER ↘

Adam tells Gary Maria cheated! HE TAKES GREAT DELIGHT IN SPILLING THE BEANS ON DR ALI’S SPECIAL EXAMINATION…

ot on the heels of his ex Sarah’s marriage, Gary tells Maria this week that they should set a date for their own nuptials. However, just as the pair excitedly look to the future, Adam knocks the wind out of Gary’s sails – by revealing all to Maria’s furious fiancée about the afternoon delight she shared with doctor Ali on Valentine’s Day! “The ink has barely had time to dry on Adam and Sarah’s wedding certificate when he takes pleasure in revealing the scandalous reve truth h of Maria’s fling,” frowns our cobbles source. “Seeing Sara ah go ahead and marry Adam has to sting for Gary, who o se ecretly probably still hold ds a torch for her deep dow wn. S So after Gary commits to M Maria, and then learns that she has been unfaithful, it is dou ubly hurtful.” Maria a regretted her reunion with Ali once it transpired that Ga ary had secretly been planning to propose, and has sinc ce to old the disheartened doc to keep his distance.

But when Adam realises something could be going on between the pair, he makes it his mission to get the truth out of Ali. “Adam tricks Ali into telling all, and assures him that his secret is safe,” reveals our spy. “Yet that couldn’t be further from the truth, as he delights in informing Gary what his wife-to-be was up to on Valentine’s Day.” The irony of Gary’s situation is that he’s turned over a new leaf and, prior to learning about Maria and Ali, rejects an offer to join forces with his old debt-collecting buddy Sharon when they bump into one another.

Meanwhile, Maria waits for Gary in the Rovers to toast their engagement as he hunts down Ryan, demanding to know if anything is going on between Maria and Ali. Ryan insists that Adam is telling a pack of lies, before ﬁnding Ali and warning him that he’s just saved his skin. However, when Gary eventually joins oblivious and tipsy Maria in the pub, he is quietly seething – and later puts in a call to Sharon offering her loan shark Rick Neelan’s old client list in return for a favour.

Sharon blames herself for Dennis’ death – but in truth, many others share the guilt

he residents of the Square do their best to return to normal this week, following the horrors of the boat party – but it’s clear that lives have been changed forever by the events of that night… As shattered Sharon prepares for the funeral of her son, she’s blaming herself for his death. But little does she realise quite how deeply her supposed friends and family were involved in the tragedy. And as Ian struggles to keep his own secrets, the truth is revealed in the form of an incriminating voicemail…

A MOTHER’S NIGHTMARE “It’s no surprise that Sharon has gone to pieces,” sighs our Walford source. “She’s led a life beset by tragedy, and thought she had already lived through the worst imaginable grief. But nothing compares with losing her Dennis. And this is in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic childbirth. She’s in the worst place she’s ever been.” A large part of Sharon’s agony stems from the fact that i

WILL SHARON FIND OUT WHAT CAUSED THE DEATH OF HER BELOVED SON? she holds herself responsible for Dennis’ death. If only she’d been more focused on him – she thinks. If only she hadn’t become caught up in her affair with Keanu… So now, when Sharon looks at her new baby, she sees only a reminder of her mistakes – a reminder that she herself started the chain of events that led to Dennis being on that ill-fated boat. Sharon’s lack of interest in her new child is noticed by Linda, who offers to take care of the baby as a distraction from her own problems. Meanwhile, Kathy and Ian,

whom Sharon has been living with, notice how badly she is struggling. Although Ian, of course, is trapped by his own crushing guilt…

IAN’S SHAME Only a few people know that Ian was gunning for Dennis on the night of his death, and as the week begins, it’s clear that Ian’s son Peter holds his dad responsible for the tragedy. “Peter’s giving Ian the cold shoulder for sure,” says our spy. “But after talking to Bobby and Dotty about the online bullying that had set Dennis and Ian on

She knows how angry Ian was that night – and this week hears a damning voicemail left by Dennis, pleading for Ian to let him out of the locked room. “As far as Dotty is concerned, this is proof that Ian killed Dennis,” notes our insider. “It’s incendiary information.

WHERE’S PHIL? One person who seems to have gone completely to ground since the accident is Phil. And with good reason. After all, it was his ﬁght with Keanu in the wheelhouse of the boat that caused the crash – and Dennis’ death. “This responsibility will weigh heavily on Phil’s

conscience,” muses our mole. “After all, it was one of Phil’s feuds that also led to the death of Dennis’ father – a secret that Phil kept from Sharon for many years.” The same guilt will also fall on Ben’s shoulders. His kidnapping of Sharon just before she went into labour stopped her from leaving with Dennis, leading to the boy joining the boat party. So as Sharon struggles to come to terms with what’s happened, she will eventually emerge from her grief in search of someone to blame for Dennis’ death. How will she feel when she learns that her husband, her best friend and the boy she once thought of as a son are all responsible?

want from any soap, any drama, is consequences. And that’s what comes out of Dennis’ death. It’s about where the story goes next, and the people who are left behind.

Kate The whole point of a disaster of this magnitude is that it has a huge impact. If you can imagine a real community facing this, it would have long-standing repercussions. There will be consequences of this story in a year to come, and we know where it is going. That is one of the joys of how we are all working together as a team on EastEnders at the moment. We feel as if we have a real clarity – knowing where we are going with these characters in the long term. The boat tragedy will have hard-hitting consequences for f a lot l off people. l

he celebrations for Walford’s 35th anniversary have been blown out of the water by the news that actress June Brown, who has played Dot since 1985, has left the soap for good. The 93-year-old actress – who is not currently on screen, after Dot decided to visit family in Ireland – has announced that she has no intention of going back. “I’ve sent Dot off to Ireland where she’ll stay,” explains June, who appeared to be back in the Square fold when Dot arrived home with her granddaughter Dotty last year, only to leave again a few weeks ago after Martin told Dot he’d stolen from her bank account. “I went back to do a good story, and when I got back it had gone up in smoke. I will never go back.” June’s remarks appear to have bafﬂed Walford bosses, with insiders saying that the star’s dressing room and all of its contents are still there. “As far as EastEnders is concerned, the door remains open for June, as it always has if the story arises and she wishes to take part,” explains a spokesperson. Please stay, June!

BUT WILL HE BE THE ONLY ONE KILLED?

oor junior doctor Mason is killed this week, when armed men storm the hospital and a hostage situation ensues. And as he ends up dead, will the rest of the locals manage to make it out alive? “It starts out like any normal shift, then, out of nowhere, these thugs burst in and hold everyone hostage,” says Orpheus Pledger, who plays doomed Morgan brother, Mason. “Then it’s a matter of how to deal with the situation and how to escape…” With Alex, Jasmine, Bella, Mackenzie and Marilyn all being held hostage, Mason – along with newcomer Ari

Parata – attempts to get everyone out. However, it doesn’t go to plan. “Mason basically makes a sacriﬁce,” Orpheus tells us. “He is very willing to present himself and stand up in the face of adversity and danger to protect everyone else.” As news of the siege spreads across Summer Bay, scared family and friends of the hostages wait outside for news about their loved ones. But unbeknown to them, Mason loses his life. “I think it shows Mason’s character,” Orpheus tells us. “It’s a testing time – he has to choose whether to take the noble path, and he does. He ﬁghts until the end…”

“Mason stands up in the face of adversity”

The hostages are in grave danger during the siege

Back in the Bay, Justin and Tori are unaware of the tragedy that’s unfolding at the hospital. And after all the family has been through, will the news of their brother’s death ﬁnally break them? “I hope they’ll be all right,” shares Orpheus. “One way for them to look at it is: if he doesn’t do what he does, there’d be more casualties.” With Orpheus having waved goodbye to Home and Away after three years,

he tells us that he’ll really miss playing his alter ego. “Mason just tried to do the right thing all the time,” grins Orpheus. “We can always go back and know that Mason’s a good guy.

In the aftermath of his release, Marlon is struggling to ﬁt back into normal life, especially given the injustice of his imprisonment. So things are already bad this week when he discovers April is being bullied because of her ‘murderer’ dad. But when Rhona reveals that Charity sat on evidence that could have secured his release, Marlon is apoplectic with rage.

From now on, Marlon’s number-one priority is his daughter, April

“What Charity and Ryan have done is pretty bad, but Marlon over-reacts massively,” shares Mark Charnock, who plays the angry chef. “He knows that if they had just come forward and been straight with the police, it would have proved that there are other people who could have murdered Graham and he would have got out. Marlon really goes after Charity!” Marlon’s anger is understandable, but worse is to come when he hears from Rhona that Kim hired a hitman and that Al was implicated,

The Dingle ethos is that you have each other’s backs…”

leading to another blow-up. He goes over to confront Al and punches him, and as Marlon tells Ellis to get the police, yet another relationship breaks down. “Marlon is really close to Ellis and treats him like a proper stepson, but Ellis chickens out because he doesn’t want to report his dad to the police,” shares Mark. “So, Marlon kicks him out. And when Billy tries to defend Ellis, Marlon kicks him out too! In a way, what Marlon is doing is getting rid of anybody in his circle apart from his children, who he wants to focus on.” Even Mandy – who’s been a rock for Marlon and April – will feel his wrath.

“The stress levels build and build with Mandy,” explains Mark. “She’s invited a reporter to the village for Marlon’s release. So while he’s trying to be reunited with April, there’s this journalist in his face. Mandy did it to get money and Marlon can’t believe what she’s done.” Fed up with his family’s behaviour, Marlon marches into the Woolpack to tell them he’s done with them. “I don’t think Marlon realises how much he needs them,” warns Mark. “But the Dingle ethos is that you have each other’s backs – and they didn’t.

WHO WILL WIN THE BATTLE OF THE HOLLYOAKS BAD BOYS?

iam Donovan ﬁnally comes face to face with legendary villain Warren Fox this week, as the two men square up to each other during a tense stand-off in the Loft! While Liam’s been used to running all the dodgy dealings in the village over the past couple of years, now Warren’s back, he’s keen to be the king of Hollyoaks once again. So as the men go to war, who will reign supreme in the battle of the bad boys? “Warren deﬁnitely isn’t someone you should underestimate – you do so at your peril!” warns Jude Monk McGowan, who plays his new nemesis, Liam. “But I think initially, Liam totally does that! Liam’s been top of the tree, dealing all of the

18 lnsideSoap

drugs, and he hasn’t faced any real competition that was all that serious. So this is the ﬁrst proper head-to-head threat to his authority in the village.” Although Warren has been back for a few weeks, the men are only now crossing paths thanks to their mutual interest in Mercedes. Warren is currently bedding Liam’s ex-squeeze – so when he hears that her former ﬂame has smashed up the Dog, Warren storms round to confront Liam – with his heavies in tow… “Warren has overheard Liam making threats towards

Mercedes, and takes that as proof that Liam was the one who shot her,” explains Jude. “But smashing up the Dog was just Liam sending Mercedes a message that he’s over her – it’s a power move. So when Warren comes round issuing threats, Liam’s not scared of him at all.” Given that Warren’s body count is far higher than Liam’s, he probably should be quaking in his boots! But Jude reckons his alter ego would fancy his chances in a straight ﬁght…

This is the first proper head-to-head threat to Liam’s authority…”

“He would certainly put money on himself to defeat Warren!” chuckles Jude. “He has the connections, and he has some powerful people behind him. And the thing about villains is that they’re only ever as good as their adversaries. “There is going to be a showdown and a battle of wills between these two – it’s been a lot of fun to ﬁlm,” adds the actor. “It’s not going to be completely one-sided, there’s going to be a lot of to-ing and fro-ing between them. I know there are a lot of hardcore Warren fans out there, but hopefully some people will want to see Liam win, too!” Sarah Ellis

Furious, Keegan starts scufﬂing with the mystery man – but as the police arrive, the intruder is gone, and they arrest Keegan instead of the burglar!

“This is a grotesque act of racism, and Keegan is so angry he can hardly contain himself,” explains our Walford insider. “Keegan has had to deal with repeated incidents of stop-and-search over the past few months, and he knows that his race is why the police keep apprehending him. But for them to ignore the facts this time, and put the handcuffs on him, is too much for Keegan to bear. The injustice is appalling.” Tiffany is shocked as the events unfold in front of her.

However, as the pressure mounts on the pair of them – with detained Whitney struggling to stay positive and hot-headed Gray battling to control his own demons – the chances of her returning home to Walford are slim… “Gray has done a ﬁne job of dispatching legal advice and swanning about in his sharp suits since moving to Albert Square – but now that the future of one of his neighbours is in jeopardy, he is under pressure to get a result in court,” points out our EastEnders insider. “As for Whitney, the reality of her situation has really begun to hit home, and she can’t face another night in jail.” Despite his initial misgivings, Gray agreed to take Whitney’s case on after she confessed to stabbing stalker Leo King in Dot’s kitchen. Whitney’s actions were in self-defence, but legal professional Gray clearly has his reservations over whether the courts will see things that way.

NATE’S MUM INVITES HIM TO LEAVE…

Will Nate agree to Cara’s suggestion?

Well, Nate has a lot to keep him in the village – a hell of a lot. He’s starting to develop a relationship with the Dingles now, and then there’s Tracy, too. And he also has his own business.

ate has a big decision to make this week, when his mum Cara invites him to leave the village with her. But will he decide a fresh start is what he needs? Jurell Carter, who plays him, mulls it over…

MARK!

When creating your next big villain, you need to ﬁnd the perfect actor to bring them to life. So, it’s no wonder that Emmerdale cast acclaimed TV star Mark Womack in the role of DI Malone. Mark, who’s married to ex-EastEnders star Samantha Womack (Ronnie Mitchell), certainly has form, having starred in several crime and police dramas, including Silent Witness, Murphy’s Law, Liverpool 1 and Merseybeat. “It’s always fun to be the bad guy, and Malone certainly falls into that category,” enthuses Mark. “I’m looking forward to the audience seeing my character’s twisted tale unfold on screen.”

Hello Jurell! So how is Nate feeling about Cara being in the village now? They’re trying to understand one another’s actions, and they’re ﬁnally on the way to building their relationship. Cara’s presence is giving Nate a comfort away from home.

She’s an amazing actress, and such a great person with a genuine heart. I like to call her ‘Mumsy’ on set! Allison Jones

But Cara’s a bit mean to Nate’s girlfriend Tracy… Yes. But there’s no bad blood really. It’s because Nate is Cara’s baby boy – it’s a situation quite common with over-protective mums! Tracy’s actually very understanding, considering. Nate’s a player and doesn’t really stick with one girl, so he must see something special in Tracy. He’s attracted to strong characters and familyorientated people – and he likes that she’s cheeky!

When Cara asks Nate to go off with her, is he tempted?

Bye, bye, Bethany: Her loved ones gather to say their farewells

CORONATION STREET | ITV FRIDAY

hen Lucy Fallon arrived on the cobbles to play Bethany, the then-20-year-old was a novice – taking over the role of Sarah’s daughter at the eleventh hour, after the original actress who won the part was forced to drop out. That’s easy to forget considering Lucy leav ves the Street just four years later as one of its brightest talents, with many awards on her mantlepiece – most notably for the show’s grooming storyline in which Bethany was sexually abused. Lucy’s time on the show has been an incredible journey, and one that she will never forget… “I couldn’t have asked for a better role,” beams the star, as she joins Inside Soap for the final time to reflect on five fab years as Bethany. “I was trusted with hard-hitting stories, and I’m grateful for that. “I think it’d be really sad if Bethany was killed, or if something horrendous had happened to make her leave,” adds Lucy. “After all that’s happened, it’s nice that Bethany is leaving because of a decision she has made for herself.” We take the opportunity to wish Lucy all the best as she heads out into the big wide world of acting – but not before taking a trip down memory lane to reminisce over some of Bethany’s best bits…

WHAT’S MY LINE?

“I remember my first scene was in the salon with Sue Nicholls, who plays Audrey, and Samia Longchambon [aka Maria],” says Lucy. “I don’t remember my first line, but I remember I had to say the name ‘Anna Karenina’ pronounced ‘Karen-in-a’, and I said ‘Karen-neen-a’! I was really embarrassed as they had to correct me. Everyone was very nice, i b t allll day but d I was thinking, thi ki ‘Thi is ‘This i the th worst thing that could have ve possibly happened!’”

“It’s tough to choose, but the people I’ve enjoyed working witth the most are my on-screen fam mily, the Platts,” beams Lucy. “I started my time at Coronation Stre eet with them, and I ended my time e here with all of those actors as w well. My journey wouldn’t have b n the bee th same if I wasn’t with them. They are like a second fa amily to me and, when I wa as leaving, Ben Price [wh ho plays Nick] sa s aid to m me, ‘We will always be here’,” which was jus st really nice. “I wo ould have loved some more m scenes with Kate K Ford [aka Tracy]],” continues L y, grinning. “She Luc a Bethany could and ha h ave become an e l double-act!” evi

TOP P OF THE PLOTS S!

“The plo ot that I am most proud p of is Bethany’s y g grooming g storyline, because of how important it was,” reﬂects Lucy. “It helped and encouraged people to open up about things that they might not have felt they could talk about. Not so long ago, someone messaged me to say that, between the ages of 10 and 21, they had been abused. As they were watching the plot play out, out they realised that’s what was happening to them. Now their abuser has been jailed for 17 years.”

ES BETHANY TAKES THE STAND

“The court scenes towards the end of the grooming plot were the most challenging as they were so emotional,” explains Lucy. “There were a lot of people there, and I had a lot to say. Even during rehearsals, I got upset reading my lines.”

THAT’S A WRAP

“My most memorable moment to ﬁlm has to be when Bethany smashed up the Platt house!” exclaims Lu ucy. “Although it was amidst the e emotional grooming storyline and I was crying and screaming, it was really fun to play, because I just let go, went crazy and smashed everything! “Sometimes there are scenes where the director will go through with you what the character is feeling, but this was left up to me to go for it,” adds the star. “There was Jack P Shepherd [David], Tina O’Brien [Sarah] and Mikey North [Gary] in the scene and they were all like, ‘Where did that come from?’ It felt good.”

EMMERDALE | ITV TUESDAY

“Vanessa’s tough – she’s getting out and living...” AS VIEWERS REEL FROM VANESSA’S CANCER DIAGNOSIS, DALES STAR MICHELLE HARDWICK RECKONS HER CHARACTER WILL COME OUT FIGHTING…

’ve known about this storyline for quite a while – I just didn’t know when it was going to be played out on screen,” explains Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwick, as she joins Inside Soap for a chat about her character Vanessa’s cancer diagnosis. “When Jane Hudson first arrived as executive producer of Emmerdale, there were a few stories she wanted to do, and one of them was Vanessa’s cancer. She wanted to show a relatively young mum, just going about her normal business, when she suddenly gets struck down.” But while Michelle has had plenty of time to get her head around Vanessa’s illness, it came as a bolt from the blue for us poor viewers. The first we heard

of it was when wicked Pierce listened to a message from the hospital on Vanessa’s phone while he was holding her captive – and it certainly left fans of Vanessa’s romance with Charity reeling… “It was a massive curveball, wasn’t it?” muses Michelle. “It does come out of nowhere, and I think the way the viewers found out was really shocking. I don’t generally look on social media when stuff like that happens on screen, though. I look when Emmerdale wins awards, and things that are more light-hearted!” It’s not just viewers who are finding it hard to take in the news that their beloved ‘Vanity’ are facing this huge hurdle, however – Charity herself is also struggling with the bombshell. She’d only just got Vanessa back from Pierce’s clutches when she was dealt

Conﬁde in me: But Charity has no idea how to react to Vanessa’s bad news

this devastating blow, and in typical Charity fashion, she’s burying her head in the sand. “The reason Vanessa didn’t confide in Charity to begin with is because she thought she would run a mile,” Michelle reminds us. “She was scared of her reaction, and it’s not until Manpreet points out that Vanessa can’t do this on her own that she finally tells Charity the truth. “Charity’s reaction is everything that Vanessa fears – she just panics,” adds the star. “Charity keeps her distance from Vanessa, which only makes her feel more alone than ever. She just wants Charity to tell her that they can get through this together.” Having known about this storyline for so long, Michelle has had plenty to time to do research. And she tells us that it’s been really useful, as she’s thrown herself headfirst into filming. “We’ve had conference calls, spoken to charities, and I’ve been talking to an expert

called Professor Mark,” she tells us. “He was telling me all about the symptoms, and how people react when they’re told they have cancer. It’s interesting, actually, as he said that it’s generally the people around the patient that cry more, whereas the person it’s happening to is often more stoic. That’s how I’m playing Vanessa, she’s being strong for everyone else. It’s the people around her who are breaking down. “I was also interested to know whether Vanessa could carry on with her work as a vet,” continues Michelle. “She can’t go near the animals, in case she gets an infection, but she’s okay to do light duties.” Michelle doesn’t know yet what her character’s prognosis will be, although she does tell us that Vanessa will be undergoing treatment soon on screen. And as you’d expect, she won’t be wallowing in self-pity… “Vanessa’s tough, so she’s just getting on with things,” reckons Michelle. “In the scenes I’ve filmed recently, she’s been like, ‘Come on Rhona, we’re going out, like we used to at uni!’ Rather than sitting around in her dressing gown and waiting for it all to happen, she’s getting out there and living her life. “I’ve been chatting to some people who are going through this, and it’s been a real eye-opener for me,” she adds. “I was so nervous and excited about doing this storyline, so I just hope that I do it justice.” Sarah Ellis

Charity’s reaction is everything thatVanessa fears…

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS Seek help if you’re worried about bowel cancer…

Although we never saw Vanessa investigating her symptoms on screen, the clues were there. Michelle gives us a run-down of things that people should look out for – and seek advice from their GP about if they are worried… “Vanessa was tired and losing a bit of weight,” explains Michelle. “She had pains in her tummy and was bloated, but she was just putting it down to

IBS, or maybe a gluten intolerance. It wasn’t until she noticed the blood in her stools that she made an appointment to speak to Manpreet. “At that point, Manpreet was the only one who knew what Vanessa was going through,” she adds. “She sent her for tests at the hospital, which is when Vanessa then found out she had cancer.” Help and advice can be found at www. bowelcanceruk.org.uk

CASUALTY | BBC1 SATURDAY

“Casualty has been such a wonderful ride!”

AS ZSA ZSA MAKES A RETURN TO HOLBY THIS WEEK, SHARON GLESS TELLS US WHY SHE’LL KEEP COMING BACK…

e love it when our soaps attract bigname stars from the US – so the fact that former Cagney & Lacey actress Sharon Gless is returning to Casualty for another guest stint this week is proof that the medical drama really does have global appeal! And as Sharon speaks to us from her home in Los Angeles, she admits she’s a huge fan of British telly… “There are so many wonderful shows in the UK,” she enthuses. “I love your television – just love it! The US used to be better at it, but you have surpassed

us now, and my favourite shows are all from the UK. “I’ve done three stints in Casualty, and every year I wait to see if they will invite me back again. I love the cast and crew, and I love being in Wales [where Casualty is filmed]. It’s such a wonderful ride, I’ve had so much fun!” Neurosurgeon Zsa Zsa returns to Holby this week following a request from her good pal Dylan – whom she rather affectionately calls Dee Dee – to carry out a tricky operation on young patient Luka. “It’s a really difficult case,” admits Sharon. “Dee Dee calls her and says, ‘Can you come?

Keeping Faith: Will Zsa Zsa be able to save her colleagues’ child?

Will you do this for me?’ And she always does. I’m sure it was her ego waiting to act, as she’s not without ego – she arrives and announces to everyone that she’s the most famous brain surgeon in the world!” Viewers will know that young Luka is the son of ED medics Faith and Lev, and was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour. As Zsa Zsa meets with the couple, she reassures them that she’ll do her best to help save their son – but she can’t help but think that Dylan may have had an ulterior motive for calling her to help with this operation… “Zsa Zsa keeps checking out Faith, as she suspects Dee Dee is emotionally involved there,” teases Sharon. “I said to the producers, ‘Is Zsa Zsa in love with Dylan? Because she’s a bit old for him!’ They said they weren’t playing it that way, but her nose is put out of joint by Faith.

“I think Zsa Zsa is way too close to Dee Dee to ever develop a relationship like that,” adds the 76-year-old star. “In a way, she’s raised him – certainly in his professional life, and a great deal in his emotional life, too. He’s vulnerable with her, in a way he isn’t with anyone else.” Although the medics are reunited under serious circumstances, Zsa Zsa and Dylan are certainly happy to see each other. And Sharon was just as delighted to get to work with co-star Will Beck, who plays Dylan, once again. “Will’s such a wonderful actor, I just love working with him,” she grins. “I didn’t get the chance to work with him as much for this episode, because I was mostly in the operating room. It’s a more complicated script this time around, and Zsa Zsa’s focus is on this child, so there’s not much emotion between her and Dylan. But we do have a lovely scene together after the surgery, which is sort of sad – it’s when they have to say goodbye to each other.” Zsa Zsa may sweep in and out of the hospital in a haze of superiority, but Sharon admits she doesn’t fancy working in medicine herself – as it was hard enough just remembering her lines for this episode! “Well, first of all, human functions are not my favourite thing!” she laughs. “Plus, the dialogue is difficult. The cast is so generous, though – they let you know that we’re all frail and I’m not the first person who has a hard time with medical dialogue. If it’s over four syllables, I get a little confused!” Sarah Ellis

Zsa Zsa’s nose is put out of joint by Faith!

TELLY ADDICT!

Sharon would love to be in more British shows… “The actresses in that show are wonderful, although it’s an absolute steal,” continues Sharon. “They gave the Cagney character a mother, which we didn’t have in our show. The mother was kind of a whore, and they named her Sharon! Thanks for the tip of the hat, guys!”

It’s clear that Sharon loves working in the UK – “I’ve done three plays in the West End,” she tells us, “the people in Britain are so warm and lovely” – so we wondered what other TV shows she might fancy being in next time she pops over… “Oh my God, there’s plenty I’d want to be in!” she gushes. “I loved Fleabag – just loved it!

YOUR lnsideSoap BRIEFING ON THE WOMAN BEHIND EASTENDERS’ LOLA… Danielle joined EastEnders in 2011 as Lola Pearce – the granddaughter of Billy. Lola started o off as a troublemaker o – even stealing her grandad’s wallet at g one point. She later fell o pregnant after a onep night stand with her gay n cousin, Ben, and gave c birth to daughter Lexi. b Danielle left the show D in n 2015 but returned in 2019. “It was my ﬁrst 2 jo ob and I was terriﬁed,” admits the star on a taking on the role. “But itt was just amazing.”

Danielle Amy Louise Harold was born on n 30 May 1992 i south London. The star struggled at school, gaining just one e GCSE. “I used to bunk k off a lot,” she shares. “I didn’t understand maths and English, and was more into drama and sports. I fell ill during Year 10 and was in and out of hospital. At that point, I gave up and didn’t try with GCSEs.”

After school, Danielle worked as a waitress before taking part in Jamie’s Dream School in 2011. The show enrolled struggling teens on courses taught by celebrity specialists, such as historian Dr David Starkey and actor Simon Callow. “It was either continue waitressing or do the show,” reveals Danielle.

“I worried quitting my job would be a mistake, but it turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made. Jamie was lovely.” The actress thrived on the show, and even won a scholarship!

Danielle brushed d shoulders with Hollywood stars while attendiing the glitzy 2018 Cannes Film Festival. “It was one of the best experiences – I was in a queue to get an ice cream and Uma Thurman was in front of me,” begins Danielle. “She dropped her wallet, and I picked it up and gave it back to

her. I also h l saw an anniversary i screening of Grease. I was dying, as Grease is one of my favourite ﬁlms. John h Travolta spoke to the audience and I ended up touching his hand!”

Danielle has always been tight-lipped about her love life, but in 2017 she was rumoured to be dating X Factor and Love Island star Luke White. The pair were pictured together numerous times – but it seems that she is now single.

Danielle is one of ﬁve British soap actresses to perform a labour scene live! Lola gave birth during an Olympic-themed episode of EastEnders in 2012 – which also saw Billy carrry s the Olympic torch. “It was the best day – the buzz on set was amazing,” grins Danielle. “But I didn’t see the torch – I was stuck in the chicken shop with my legs open! I had Ann Mitchell [Cora Cross] looking in my legs for two days during rehearsals.”

Danielle is s addicted to and caffeine, a at her tells us tha n’t gone habit hasn unnoticed by her colle eagues. “I drink about three Re ed Bulls a day!” laughs the ac d for ctress. “I’m renowned it on the EastEnders se et – although I know that it’s really bad for me.”

The star attended the Fright Fest Film Festival covered in fake blood to promote the ﬁlm!

In 2012, she won B Best Newcomer from TV Timess and the All About Soap Baby Drama award in Best B 2013. The same year she was also sshortlisted for two Inside Soap Awards, and a British Soap Award in 2014.

Despitte her good looks l and crop of o platinum hair, Danielle D was in disb belief when she was nominated for f Sexiest Actress at the 2014 B British Soap Awards. “I get a lot of attention as my hair’s so bright – I’m like a human light bulb,” laughs the star. ““I’m not sexy at all.

“Did you get to put any of your p own touches to the o renovation e of the B iley house?”

Yes, I did! My biggest thing was that the house had to be modern, it needed to have wooden floors, a wood burner, as these are all things that people aspire to now. They’ve come from Alderly Edge with a massive house and a big garden, so they’d want somewhere lovely to sit. I also thought it was really important to get a sense of history with this family, so there’s pictures on set of my mum – there’s one when she was 20 in Jamaica at a wedding, and there’s another lovely one of my mum and dad getting married.

And there’s a picture of my great uncle, who’s just turned 100! The other thing you’ll notice about the Bailey house is it’s never quite finished, because Ed’s too busy doing everyone else’s houses…

“Do you have any hidden talents?” I have just started doing a pottery class – and it’s amazing. When I first started, I made this little egg cup, which was so rubbish. But the great thing is you can just squash it, and put it in the bucket and start again. So the next time I just threw the clay at the wheel, and I made this pot that was so fantastic – I thought it must have been the biggest fluke ever! But then I went back the next week and made another one. I’ve made coasters, and I’ve just finished this massive platter. I also taught myself to crochet, just because I wanted to. I love YouTube!

I actually think it would be fun to see Aggie going to a pottery class – she could bring Roy! And he would turn out to be a great potter, it’s probably one of those things that he’s been doing for years and never told anybody about.

Say fromage: Lysette smiles for the camera with co-stars Owen and Niamh

’m going on strike if they take the Salon De Thé De Marnie away from me – they’ll have to pull me out of there by my feet!” declares star Lysette Anthony, as we chat about her alter ego’s new business venture. “It’s just absolutely brilliant working there – and what’s so delicious about it, quite literally, is those cakes. I’ve got to stop eating them! As soon as we go into the Salon we can really play with the comedy, and I’m loving it.” Presiding over her pride and joy definitely suits Marnie, but she’s going to be knocked from her perch this week as she pursues Tony’s dad, Edward. Smitten Marnie is delighted when he comes to her rescue at the Salon, yet little does she know that Edward is only trying to make Diane jealous... “Marnie’s hosting a music recital, and we’ve already seen that Edward is a proficient cello player,” explains Lysette. “She is one musician short of a quartet, and she manages to persuade Edward to play. She’s just in a complete lather of love and excitement, watching her man with his bow, but Edward’s being very wicked. Rest assured, though, whatever happens next, Marnie won’t take it lying down.” Despite Marnie’s troubles, Lysette tells us that she and Joe McGann – who plays Edward – get along fantastically on set. “We have worked together a lot before, so it’s a real joy,” reveals the star. “We were husband and wife on [early 2000s ITV soap] Night And Day, and we did a play together following that too. We just have such an easy shorthand, and Joe’s probably one

Voulez vous?: Marnie would love a spot of passion with Edward

of the best-read people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.” With her love life falling short, it’s lucky that Marnie has a big family support unit waiting for her at home. And they’re even more united now that Juliet and Romeo have changed their last name from Quinn to Nightingale. “Well, that was Marnie’s idea, so she’s feeling very pleased with herself,” laughs Lysette. “Marnie just adores them, and I adore the both of them for real. They’re both fantastic, and they’re like brother and sister in real life. The other day Niamh [Blackshaw, who plays Juliet] was trying to have a little snooze and Owen [Warner, who plays Romeo] got the scissors out to pretend to cut her hair. He’s very naughty!” Now that Romeo is working as a waiter at the Salon, Lysette informs us that she’s been trying to educate Owen in the art of speaking French! “I’m constantly trying to teach him, but all Owen does is look at me with that charming smile and say ‘Enchanté’,” sighs Lysette. “But I’ve got a plan because Billy [Price, who plays Sid] wants to learn some more French, so I’m going to bring out their competitive spirit with one another.” The Nightingales may be more united than ever right now, but Lysette warns that their happiness isn’t set to last long. “Unfortunately, I think there’s trouble ahead,” she sighs. “Marnie refuses to see bad in Juliet, which is probably a mistake! The drugs story is so important because of what’s going happening on our streets, and Niamh is just superb! “Plus, our resident drug dealer Connor [Calland, who plays Jordan] is just as charming off camera too,” adds Lysette. “So at this precise moment, all is fabulous in Marnie’s world – which, as we know, means it’s all going to go horribly wrong pretty soon!” Alice Penwill

Marnie is one musician short of a quartet…

OOH LA LA! Just like Marnie, Lysette is a sucker for all things Francais…

“One of my favourite places in France is Paris – I lived there many years ago and I worked in France quite a few times. I did a French course there, which was completely immersive and very hardcore!” “Something I admire about the French is how protective they are of their own language and their way of doing things. Plus, their sense of style is just a treat!” “France does have some very complicatedly named pastries, and the show’s writers seem to be taking delight in ﬁnding tricky ones for me to remember! I managed to go through 17 takes recently, as I kept messing up on the complex culinary words.” “I also get to practise French at home too. My son’s doing his GCSEs at the moment. I do love the language, so I must say it’s a treat pour moi!” “If I opened my own French patisserie, it would be called Salon De Thé De Lysette, of course! But to be honest, I could quite easily live on the French peasant food – bread and cheese.”

Bag of nerves: Laura is in the frame for killing Andrew

LIAR | ITV MONDAY

WORDS: ALICE PENWILL

he last time we saw evil Andrew Earlham, he was lying dead in the Kent marshes after wreaking havoc on his seaside town. The renowned surgeon was found guilty of 19 cases of sexual assault, with local primary school teacher, Laura Nielson, among his victims – so it’s no wonder someone wanted him dead! However, now the case is turned on its head, with Laura in the midst of his murder investigation as the main suspect. Yet given that many people wanted Andrew to pay for his crimes, did Laura kill him? Or could the perpetrator be someone else? “The ﬁrst time we see Laura, she’s relatively together and happy,” explains Joanne Froggatt, who plays her. “But then very quickly, the police discover Andrew’s body and Laura is under suspicion – along with every other character in the show! Laura feels really angry about the injustice of all that’s happened to her, and she quickly switches back to her determined, forthright self.” There’s a new face on the scene, too, with hard-talking DI Karen Renton – played by Katherine Kelly – brought in to take on the case. She doesn’t give the suspects an easy

ride, but is it just Laura who she has her eye on? “You can’t start off soft and go hard, you have to come in hard,” grins Katherine. “Remember, Karen’s job is to gather evidence, not actually to find justice. Although you’ll see her accusing Laura on screen, what you don’t see is Karen telling everyone else she thinks they’ve done it, as well! She’s just like a bowling ball. She has to get a strike, knock them all over – and then start. Her tactic is to accuse everyone behind closed doors.” And despite his character being killed off at the end of the first series, Ioan Gruffudd is back too, as we search for the truth behind Andrew’s death. “We see Andrew in flashbacks along with some new characters,” explains Ioan. “We witness how

Andrew became who he was, and more about Laura’s path. In the first series, Andrew was hiding everything so well with his confidence and his charm. But when we see him on the run before he dies, Andrew’s life is completely falling apart.” As DI Renton continues to delve into what really happened to Andrew, Joanne tells us that her character won’t be sitting on her hands – she might be doing some investigating of her own, and she won’t be entirely alone either… “Laura is not one to sit on her laurels,” reveals Joanne “She’s on her fight for justice. And even though Andrew’s turned up dead, he’s still haunting her and still affecting her life. He continues to control her life from beyond the grave. We’re introduced to a new character, Winnie, as well as

Actor and writer Rufus Jones picks his dream viewing… Like many other people, I watched Dracula over Christmas – one of our stars in Home, Youssef Kerkour, is one of the Dracula main guys in episode two, so I was looking out for my man on the boat! I often use Netﬂix to catch up on old stuff I never got around to seeing. It sounds ridiculous, but I’ve just been watching the second series of Happy Valley that I never saw – Sarah Lancashire is amazing!

Revenge mission: Victim Laura is interrogated by DI Karen Renton

There’s an American show on BBC2 called Better Things gs, which is about a single mum of three kids, and it’s a very gentle comedy that’s beautifully done. There’s also a US sketch show on Netﬂix called I Thinkk You Should Leave, which is absolutely hilarious. And Stath Lets Flats is anotherr one – Jamie Demetriou is incredible.

I have four-year-old twin daughters, so I tend not to go to the cinema any more. But I saw Little Women, which is brilliant, and I took my nephew to see The Rise Of Skywalker, which turned me into a giddy 10-year-old again. Being in a US comedy would be a dream – Transparent was a brilliant ensemble piece that I would have killed to be in! And Arrested Development – I remember watching that and thinking, ‘This is the apex of American comedy’. When I was 10 or 11, my dad used to let me stay up and watch LA Law – that was such a huge deal as I could tell that it was an adult show, with adult content! It made me feel like a little man engaging with all that stuff, so to be eng emember that! I really re ● Rufus writes and stars in Wednesday Channel 4 Home W

“Maggie makes a mistake that we could all make…” THE TROUBLE WITH MAGGIE COLE | ITV WEDNESDAY

JULIE HESMONDHALGH AND DAWN FRENCH STAR IN A DRAMA WHERE LOOSE LIPS SINK FRIENDSHIPS…

he coastal town of Thurlbury is a quiet, picturesque sort of place, where nothing out of the ordinary ever happens. Well, unless you get Maggie Cole a bit tipsy and ask her some probing questions… In this new six-part drama, Dawn French stars as Maggie, who’s delighted to be invited to do an interview for local radio to promote Thurlbury’s upcoming anniversary celebrations. However, after the unscrupulous journalist plies her with free drinks and starts asking her about local life, Maggie says a lot of things about her fellow residents that she really shouldn’t – which makes the party she throws to celebrate the transmission of her interview really awkward. We caught up with Dawn and Julie Hesmondhalgh, who plays Maggie’s best friend Jill, during ﬁlming, to ﬁnd out more.

60 lnsideSoap

Dawn, what was the appeal of this project for you? Dawn I just thought it was a good idea for a central conceit – somebody makes a mistake that we could all make, then she’s betrayed by the person who interviews her. She enjoys the moment when she matters a lot and somebody is listening to her, and she gossips. However, because of that brief little ﬂirtation with gossip, her world falls apart. Maggie has to apologise – and she’s somebody who wouldn’t ordinarily be comfortab ble apologising… … Jill is one off the people who’s particularly hurt by everything Maggie says, isn’t she?

Julie I think she’s always enjoyed the kind of person Maggie is – that friend who’s just full of herself, a big ﬁsh in a small pond. And Jill gets that and loves her and accepts it. Jill’s the deputy head at the school where Peter – Maggie’s husband – works, and in the interview Maggie says something about Jill not being particularly bright, which I think is wrong, actually. I think she’s pretty smart, and she’s just someone who does sn’t wear it on her sle eeve. But it hits a nerrve for her. Dawn It’s s heartbreaking. Especially – and forgive me if this is a bit sexist – in women and in their very strong, best-friend Maggie may: relatio onships, it’s Her thoughtless just unthinkable comments cause heartache to do that.

And Maggie is an idiot for betraying her in that silly way, and she risks losing everything. When it all falls apart with Jill, to be given the cold shoulder is devastating for Maggie. How does it end up affecting their friendship? Julie It really cuts deep for Jill – for a friend to say it publicly. To say that she doesn’t think I’m up to the job of taking over from Peter when he eventually retires, it causes a lot of pain. That’s the betrayal. So Maggie and Jill are set to have a tough time on

ood news for red tomatoes and green peppers alike: Ready Steady Cook returns to our screens this week, after a 10-year break. The hardestworking man in showbiz, Rylan ClarkNeal, is the new host – and he tells us that he’s honoured to be working on a show he always loved to watch. “It was on throughout my school years,” he recalls. “I’d just be getting home and Ready Steady Cook would be on, and it was my marker for ‘Oh, dinner soon!’ I don’t know if it’s just the way I’ve been brought up, but when the BBC asked me to do the show, the ﬁrst person I rang was Fern [Britton, the original host] and the second was Ainsley [Harriott, who took over from Fern]. They were both so lovely – they told me to make it my own. They’re two tough acts to follow, but they’ve both been so supportive!” Rylan’s no stranger to a chopping board or a saucepan himself – he was a ﬁnalist in Celebrity MasterChef in 2015 – but he explains that his role in the show is to be the voice of the viewer. “The whole point is me not being a chef and just being a helping hand,” he says. “If I was a chef, and someone asked me

Catch of the day P dd McGuinness’ Paddy M G i game show where quick reﬂexes are just as vital as good general knowledge returns for a second series tonight, and while the great British public will be chasing Paddy’s dropped balls soon enough, we begin

with two celebrity specials in aid of Sport Relief. Tonight’s stars playing for a good cause are England netball star Eboni Usoro-Brown and comedian Darren Harriott, facing comic Susan Calman and Strictly pro Johannes Radebe.

Inside TV asked Paddy whether we could expect to see his Top Gear co-stars on a future celeb special, and here’s what he had to say: “They’re very competitive. It’d be handy for Freddie [Flintoff] – he’s about that height, he’d just take the balls out of the air!”

Relative tension “W can’t “We ’ ffallll out, can we?” asks Celia of Alan at the top of tonight’s episode, in the wake of her rather harsh words to Gillian. “No,” Alan assures her, “and we’re not going to.” But we can’t help feeling that there’s something not quite right

between them – it’s not tension, exactly, but deﬁnitely a sense of two people who aren’t as aligned as they once were. Still, if there’s one guaranteed way to relieve the pressure on a relationship, it’s having family come to stay, right? Er, right?

Maybe this isn’t the ideal time for Ted’s visit after all… At least Caroline and Gillian are still getting on well. Gillian even suggests some places where “posh lesbians” might go to ﬁnd a date – prompting Caroline to open up about Ruth.

Despite its relatively tiny status, it has enough stories and characters to ﬁll six half-hours of telly, hence this light-hearted series taking a look at events in the city last summer. With tourist numbers on the rise as the temperature soars, St Davids is preparing for its busiest summer to date – but what does that mean for the local residents?

Thi M This Morning’s i ’ resident doctor sets out to get us all taking more control over our physical and mental health in this new four-part series. There’s a lot of misinformation out there (and the vast increase in people using the internet to self-diagnose

hasn’t necessarily helped on that front), so Dr Ranj and his co-presenter Kylie Pentelow will be helping us to tell the facts from the fakery, and bring reports from the medical front line to reveal the latest breakthroughs in treatment.

In tonight’s opener, Dr Ranj goes out on call with the West Midlands Ambulance Service and ﬁnds out more about the day-to-day reality of their work, while Kylie heads to Milton Keynes to learn about a major development in keyhole surgery.

You’ve got ale BEN FOGLE: MAKE A NEW LIFE IN THE COUNTRY | Channel 5 9PM For the final episode of the series, Ben’s off to the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire to find out how things went for Hani and Sarah, who left London life behind to pursue their dream of starting their own brewery. As a finance executive and a teacher respectively, neither of them had any prior experience of the beer industry, so it was quite the gamble to invest their life savings into building the brewery inside an old chicken shed – especially since they had a limited amount of time to get up and running. Will the couple confirm that it was all worth it, or has the beer business gone flat for them?

I ffeels It l a little li l strange for us to describe a programme as harrowing and sickening, and in the same breath to urge you to watch it with every ﬁbre of our being, but that’s where we ﬁnd ourselves here, as Royal Marines Commando Aldo Kane

reveals the horrifying secrets of the illegal tiger trade. Most people in the West are unaware of the threat posed to wild tigers by trafﬁckers, who stand to proﬁt handsomely from illegal (and highly prized) products such as tiger-bone

wine and tiger-bone glue – and despite the best efforts of campaigners, legal loopholes are letting them get away with it. But here Aldo shows the true horror of what they’re up to, as he covertly ﬁlms at illicit tiger farms in Southeast Asia.

Cross words C Considering id i there h was a point seven years or so ago where big-budget adaptations of dystopian young-adult novel series were everywhere, it’s a little surprising that we’ve had to wait this long for Malorie Blackwell’s Noughts & Crosses

books (ﬁrst published in 2001) to get the dramatisation treatment – but better late than never, as far as we’re concerned. The setting for the series is an alternate reality where strict race laws keep the black ruling class (the ‘Crosses’) and the white

underclass (the ‘Noughts’) as separate as possible. Needless to say, love between the two is explicitly forbidden, and that becomes a problem for childhood friends Sephy (a Cross) and Callum (a Nought), as they grow closer and closer…

HUNTED | Channel 4 9PM Getting separated from your partner on this show rarely leads to anything good, and sadly Frankie hasn’t bucked that trend. After splitting up from Dan, she gets captured by the Hunters, who put pressure on her to sell him out – will she be able to withstand their psychological games? As for Dan himself, he’s still out on his own somewhere in Cheshire – but that makes him even more vulnerable to the possibility of betrayal at the hands of his new friends. Meanwhile, in another move that previous experience leads us to advise against, Hayley risks returning home to Wigan to see her dog.

O Over the h years some stars have gone above and beyond the call of duty for Sport Relief – David Walliams in particular, who took on not one, but three swimming challenges (the English Channel, the Gibraltar Strait and the Thames). He’s not alone, either

– we were full of admiration for Davina McCall taking a 500mile triathlon from Edinburgh to London that lasted seven days, Eddie Izzard taking on 27 marathons across 27 days in South Africa, Zoe Ball riding a bike from Blackpool to Brighton,

and John Bishop cycling, rowing and running back from Paris. Ahead of this year’s telethon, Greg James meets up with the aforementioned stars to ﬁnd out what motivated them to take on these feats of endurance, and what happened afterwards.

Small wonder WILD CUBA: A CARIBBEAN JOURNEY | BBC2 8.30PM Cuba lays claim to some of the most stunning wildlife in the world, much of which outsiders will never see – well, not until tonight, anyway. In this two-part series, Colin Stafford-Johnson gives us a glimpse of the creatures and locations that make this island so special, and tonight’s episode features a close encounter with the bee hummingbird, the smallest bird in the world, and one which can’t be found anywhere else on the planet. We’ll also get to see the spectacle of thousands of crabs migrating en masse – a bit like the crowds at Gatwick Airport in the middle of July, but with more legs… BBC1 N IRELAND as Main BBC1 except: 10.35pm Soft Border Patrol 11.05 Greg James’ Sport Relief Heroes 12.05am Catchpoint Sport Relief Special 12.456.00 BBC News BBC1 SCOTLAND as Main BBC1 except: 12.15am A View From The Terrace 1.15 Weather For The Week Ahead 1.20-6.00 BBC News BBC1 WALES as Main BBC1 except: 7.00-7.30pm Six Nations Sin Bin 11.35 Young, Welsh And Pretty Minted 12.05am Catchpoint Sport Relief Special 12.45-6.00 BBC News BBC2 WALES as Main BBC2 except: 7.00pm The One Show 7.30 Extreme Wales With Richard Parks 8.00-8.30 Saving Lives At Sea 11.05 New Voices From Wales 11.15 FILM: The Beguiled 12.45-1.05am Coast WALES as Main ITV except: 6.00-6.30pm ITV News Wales At Six SCOTTISH as Main ITV except: 12.55am The People’s History Show 1.20-6.00 Nightscreen

LUKE JACOBZ (Angelo Rosetta, Home H and Away) y It’s been a long time t since we last saw Ang gelo in Summer Bay, but he’s on o his way back! “It’s been 10 0 years since I was last here, so o I’m really looking forward to meeting all the new casst, and to see some old friendss too,” says star Luke. “I’m so excited that my first scene back is with Ray [Meag gher, o much aka Alf].

We can confirm that star Jane Hazlegrove has resumed filming on the cobbles, and we only have a few more weeks to wait for Bernie Bernie’s s return. return March

LACEY TURNER (Stacey Fowler, EastEndeers) s Although Stacey has moved away from the Square with her new man Jerome, we know that she w will return sooner or later, as actress La acey Turner is only taking maternity leave e. However, the star may want to delay her comeback for as long as possible, because she’s enjoying being a new mum so much! “I think it will be hard to go back to work, as much as I’m looking forward to working again,” she commented recently, having given birth to daughter Dusty last July. “I will miss Dusty, because you get so used to spending g l all day, every day, together.

STAYING IN AMERICA! Margot Robbie, who played Donna Freedman in Neighbours from 2008 to 2011, has spoken about her exit from the Aussie soap: “I told them I was moving to America, and then I asked if they would kill me off in like a really big dramatic way. They said no, because ‘If things don’t work out in America, we want you to come back and play the role again’. So my character also moved to America, and I guess she’s e s still there! there!” PHOTOS: GETTY, REX/SHUTTERSTOCK, INSTAGRAM/LUCYJO_HUDSON

WHAT’S HIT TH HE BULLSEYE RECENTLY – AND WHAT’S FALLEN WIDE OF THE We don’t know W w what they put in the water in New Zea aland, but Peter Beale seems to B ha ave grown three feet taller. He’s arrrived in Walford like Hagrid at Harry Potter’s H house.

Do wobbly ats really boa storre bottles of wine p on high up shelves? Isn’t that kinda dangerous? (PS. Drink responsibly.)

We don’t think Mick has ever set foot in Dot’s kitchen before. It was nice of him to dress to match.

Emmerdale’s Dan could be to Mandy as Corrie’s Ches was to Gemma. A completely lost cause… until she turned up.

Remind us why Nate’s mum Cara isn’t a Dales regular? She’s the best new n character in yea ars!

Of the many reasons to mourn the death of Dennis, what breaks our heart the most iis losing l the last link to our beloved Dennis Rickman – once equally D c elly despatched by the Story Gods crue of EastEnders – and to ‘Shannis’, the g atest soap romance of all time. It gre a o means we’ll never meet old Den also Watts’ great grandson, Dennis W Jnr Jnr Jnr. How much more tragedy can Sharon take? How much more can we ta e?

The Flanagan siblings are so talented they could have their own soap opera. Watch out, world!

W were amused We d by Neighbours’ little anniversary tribute to EastEnders. We’ll have a Linda Colada and a Wet Dennis please.

We’re not sure who looks more disapproving of Linda’s carry-on.

RK?

We refuse to accept that Kevin We ebster can possibly have a new bomber jacket j ket. This beige e imposter must surely be b his old lilac one, faded by the sun n.

killer Pierce attempting Psycho rapist kil to counsel Vanessa through her cancer diagnosis is some of the most twisted character interaction we’ve ever seen. Yuk!

If Cathy wasn’t such a sweetheart, she’d be utterly terrifying.

Nothing says “I’m just not that into you” quite like “I’d rather stick with the bloke who killed a woman on her wedding day”. It sure sucks to be Dr Ali in Maria’s love triangle.
