The high drama continues in soapland next week, as confirmed in my brand new spoilers, with unexpected developments all across the genre, including a twisted exit story and two shock collapses.
Emmerdale lines up more heartache for Belle Dingle, with Tom King secretly plotting to take her away from all she knows and loves in a bid to further isolate her but, with Charity Dingle on the case, his comeuppance is possibly closer than ever.
Over in Hollyoaks, Warren Fox is shot at by a mystery assailant in a whodunit story that is not to be missed while EastEnders sees more conflict in the Mitchell clan following the arrival of three new members of the family.
Will they all be able to get along?
Coronation Street is home to a betrayal for birthday boy Steve McDonald but, with some help from a friend, he’s set to finally have the last laugh, with revenge sealed on Tommy O.
And Neighbours welcomes back the wonderful Sky Mangel, who arrives in Ramsay Street to check in on Harold Bishop. A reunion we’ve all longed for and my heart certainly couldn’t be any fuller!
I’ve got all the latest from the biggest soaps with my Friday round-up, so let’s dive in to spoilers galore.
EastEnders
1. Nugget’s behaviour is a cause for concern, with Denzel urging him to get a handle on his temper before people get suss about the steroids. Denzel, however, is later a no-show to the tournament, with Nugget heading off in search of him but he falls ill and collapses on the pavement, with the teen subsequently rushed to hospital. The doctors confirm to horrified Ravi and Priya that he’s been taking steroids, but will Nugget pull through?
2. Harvey makes an excuse to get out of a romantic meal with Jean so that he can see Maya, who claims that she’s selling her home to pay her debts, but when the mysterious newcomer drops a letter with an address on it, Harvey realises she hasn’t quite been honest about where she lives. Heading to the address in question, he hears a crash – and comes face-to-face with a distressed man.
3. Teddy’s presence continues to disrupt the Mitchells but Billy takes his advice on how to handle the Will situation, which proves helpful. Teddy takes some advice from Billy too – referring to Phil as the head of the family – as he bonds with the hard-man, leaving Billy somewhat perturbed.
Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
