Decisions and debates are on the agenda in soapland next week, with some of the genre’s finest choosing a path of no return.
Emmerdale lines up more drama for Caleb Milligan in the wake of recent revelations, with the schemer up to no good in a bid to get what he wants, while EastEnders sees Sam Mitchell receive an offer.
But is it one she can refuse? Despite what Jack Branning may think, she does actually have her son’s best interests at heart.
Over in Coronation Street, Sarah Platt does the unthinkable, cheating on Adam Barlow with Damon Hay, leaving us all completely baffled.
Hollyoaks, meanwhile, sees Tony Hutchinson’s efforts to help Honour Chen-Williams’ marriage backfire, with some seriously crossed wires on the cards for some.
It’s that time of week again when we dish the goss, with a somewhat bumper edition of our weekly guide, jam-packed with all the spoilers, plus a few little extra soapy treats to tide you over, including a look at what the classic outings have in store for us.
So grab a cuppa, sit back, relax and start your reading!
