Next week will be an utterly heartbreaking one in soapland, as one of the genre’s finest dies in devastating scenes.
We are of course referring to Emmerdale’s Faith Dingle, who dies after one very special day with her family, courtesy of Cain.
Coronation Street, meanwhile, sees a horror fire put the life of Aaron’s dad Eric in danger, leaving the teen determined to be there for his father in his hour of need.
Over in EastEnders, Suki Panesar and Eve Unwin give into temptation, while Hollyoaks sees Imran Maalik suffer a nasty injury, which results in shocking scenes.
It’s going to be quite a week down soapland way, so stock up on the tissues before Monday!
