description: Marlon and April will take centre stage in a standalone episode.
encoded: Mark Charnock has teased that we're in for quite the shock during his standalone Emmerdale episode next week. The actor has played Marlon Dingle since 1996, and the chef has had a turbulent year in the aftermath of daughter April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) going missing. Unbeknown to Marlon, April has been drawn into the world of drug dealing and sexual exploitation along with her boyfriend Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle). Led to believe they owe a large debt, the teens are at the mercy of Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) and his adopted mother, crime boss Celia Daniels (played by Jaye Griffiths). April is currently living away from the family home after she accidentally dropped some pills that were taken by her vulnerable half-brother Leo (Harvey Rogerson). Marlon is struggling to reconnect with his beloved daughter, but in upcoming scenes, April will consider finally opening up to her dad. Speaking to RadioTimes.com and other media, Charnock said he couldn't reveal too much about the special instalment – but he did share that "there’s a twist in it that will stagger the audience." Expanding on the big moment, the actor added: "something happens that when I read it, it shocked me so much that I thought, ‘Oh god, I wish I’d known about it before I read it’ because it really threw me, it’s just a great twist of drama." While viewers will have to wait until next week to find out what this twist is, he also shared that "things are going to get considerably worse before they get better". Full of praise for the writing, Charnock summed up how the episode unfolds between April and Marlon. "She was going to come to a Halloween party with the rest of the family, she doesn’t turn up and he’s really sad about it. So she turns up at the house and he’s on his own and the episode begins. "It’s lovely actually, with them rediscovering the younger version of her and how that was for them when she was really little," he told RadioTimes.com and other press. "The first act, if you like, is about…

description: The end for 'Robron'?
encoded: **Warning: Contains spoilers for today's (Friday 24th October 2025) episode of Emmerdale, now available on ITVX** There's another major development for Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) in Friday's (24th October) Emmerdale, following their latest split. On Thursday (23rd October), Robert vowed to break up with husband Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill) in order to keep Aaron, only for terminally-ill Kev to suffer a heart attack. After Aaron and Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) tracked Robert down at the hospital, Aaron was troubled to see Robert so emotional, noting that he hadn't seen Robert cry very often. Robert admitted that he had loved Kev once, and that perhaps he still did in some form, but added that it was Aaron who he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. But when Aaron again challenged Robert to end things with Kev, Robert said he couldn't do it. Aaron walked away, and as the ITV soap continues on Friday, Robert is seen by Kev's side in hospital. Vic later persuades Robert to try speaking to Aaron again, and he opens up a little about how his bond with Kev began when the latter protected Robert from prison beatings. The conversation again leaves 'Robron' no further along, as it's clear that Robert has resolved to stay with Kev until he passes away. Aaron soon drowns his sorrows in the Woolpack, but he ends up offending Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson). A nearby Robert steps in but, already furious with Robert, Aaron is in no mood for his input, and a heated row ensues. Robert gives as good as he gets in the war of words, and by the time Aaron walks away, it looks like there may be no way back for the pair. We're not going to be so quick to write them off, though! Next week, Aaron is encouraged to apologise to Vinny and to discuss what happened with Robert. However, things get worse when Aaron realises that Robert has told Kev about his traumatic past! Kev will then make a chilling threat to Aaron, but how will Robert react? Read mo…

Juggling romance with Aaron alongside his commitment to Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill), Robert's shifty behaviour is niggling at Aaron, who sees soulmate Robert as his safe space after his own recent troubles. When Robert snaps as Aaron suggests plans for lunch, Aaron can no longer ignore his suspicions, and a chat with Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) makes it clear that Robert is lying to him about being busy with work. And Robert is actually in the Woolpack garden with Kev, who gives him a fancy new watch and decides that now is the right time to kiss Robert in public! That's when Aaron walks by and sees the intimate moment. Robert is horrified as Aaron tells him they're over, but Robert pleads for a chance to explain. At Mill flat, Robert reveals to Aaron that he and Kev are married, Kev is dying and that he's got a lot of money which Robert will inherit. Aaron is unmoved by this information, leading Robert to promise that he'll finally end things with Kev. The prospect of dumping volatile Kev scares Robert, who turns to drink for courage. When he heads over to see Kev, he gears himself up to tell him that their marriage is over – but before Robert can do so, he's stopped in his tracks by a shock event. RadioTimes.com won't reveal what happens next, but as Aaron demands to know whether Robert has kept to his word, the pair must face another difficult conversation. As a result, Aaron makes a decision about the entire situation, and we're left wondering what this all means for Robert. Despite Robert making a massive mess of his love life again, we can't help but feel sorry for him, thanks to Hawley's nuanced performance. You can watch how all the drama unfolds now on ITVX, or on ITV1 at th…

encoded: This article includes discussion of pregnancy loss which some readers may find upsetting. **Warning: Contains major spoilers for the Thursday 23rd October 2025 episode of EastEnders, available now on BBC iPlayer.** Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) has dropped yet another major bombshell concerning her long-lost son in the latest edition of EastEnders. Just last month, Zoe told Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) that her twins – a boy, and a girl who is believed to have died at birth – were fathered by the late Dennis Rickman (Nigel Harman). Shattered by the revelation that her beloved late husband cheated on her, Sharon slapped Zoe. But after some thought, Sharon offered to pay for a private investigator to track down Zoe and Dennis's son. With Sharon currently away with Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), Zoe was urged by mum Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) to hold off the search. Zoe, however, stole the takings from The Queen Vic and snuck off to meet the PI alone. A fuming Kat followed her and ended up sitting in on the meeting, during which Zoe claimed she couldn't remember her twins' date of birth off-hand – and, rather more crucially, that she didn't know who the father was. A suspicious Kat told husband Alfie (Shane Richie) that if Zoe couldn't set a better example for their son Tommy (Sonny Kendall), she would have to leave. But tensions were put on hold when Kat and Alfie's twin sons Bert (Elliot Briffett) and Ernie (Cody Briffett) revealed they were hearing voices in the cellar. Zoe went to investigate, only to find that a cat had ended up stuck in the sewer pipe! Once the grim and smelly task was complete, Kat told Zoe she could keep the cat – but Zoe insisted she couldn't if she was about to be kicked out. Kat informed her daughter that she was simply frustrated when she made that threat, and demanded that Zoe stopped lying to her. As Zoe explained how desperate she was to find her son, Kat was troubled when Zoe said that the whole thing had noth…

description: So much couple conflict across the board!
encoded: Soap couples have the strongest fanbases across the genre, with popular on-screen partnerships so beloved that they even have their own special names. But the likes of Emmerdale's 'Robron,' Coronation Street's 'Swarla' and more are all facing major obstacles, posing the question: are these serial dramas letting down their power pairings? Let's start with 'Robron'. Of course, we're talking about Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), who recently reunited after almost 6 years apart. Their renewed relationship was never going to last at this point, due to the small matter of Robert's "unhinged but lovable" secret prison husband Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill)! There are also plenty of unresolved issues between Aaron and Robert, stemming from the latter's decision to cut off and divorce the former back in 2019. Given this, plus whatever Robert is concealing about his time behind bars and Aaron's role in the murder of Anthony Fox (Nicholas Day), these two already had enough to wade through on the road to getting back together long-term. Hawley has assured us that throwing Kev into the mix is rather different to the troubles 'Robron' have previously endured, and made a good point when he told RadioTimes.com and other press that "it would be pretty boring if it was just plain sailing. "There has to be some kind of conflict and obstacles for the characters to overcome to test their relationship and see them triumph against adversity." The promise of a special episode next month, due to shed light on both the Kev conundrum and Robert's prison trauma, may give this story the lift it needs. But at the time of writing, it's hard to understand why we needed to see Robert having "deep feelings" for someone other than Aaron, mere weeks after the character insisted he was all he wanted. Moving onto 'Swarla', and poor Carla Connor (Alison King) is still reeling after her fiancée Lisa Swain's (Vicky Myers) wife Becky (Amy Cudden) pitched up alive, four years after…

encoded: **Warning: Contains spoilers for today's (Wednesday 22nd October 2025) episode of Emmerdale, now available on ITVX** Robert Sugden's (Ryan Hawley) stress levels are at an all time high in Wednesday's (22nd October) Emmerdale, as he tries to keep his complicated situation with secret husband Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill) under wraps. With Robert also back together with ex-husband and true love Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), he's only avoided the truth coming out so far because he asked Aaron to keep their reunion quiet – and because Kev isn't ready to be out and proud. Now that Kev and Aaron have actually met, though, both men are beginning to notice Robert's suspicious behaviour. Then Robert noticed that Kev's knuckles were bloodied, as Kev revealed he'd been to settle a score and "you know how I feel about debt." When Kev added that "you know how it is: people take liberties, people get corrected," Robert changed his mind about ending the relationship. Then Aaron lovingly told Robert that he couldn't wait to go public with him, as the latter tried to cover his anxiety. As the week continues, Robert is increasingly concerned by Kev's aggressive behaviour, as they bump into an irate Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano), who confronts Robert for not doing his share on the farm. Kev is furious and Robert is forced to calm him down, and the pair return to Kev's lodgings where they discuss his anger issues. As Kev opens up about how he used his fists to survive inside, he begs Robert to stay by his side. Although Kev promises to be better, and later takes steps to prove it in the Woolpack, Robert's web of lies are about to unravel in typically dramatic fashion. Can Robert contain the fallout?

Living with dementia, Nigel was confused and panicked after knocking down the girls, and his wife Julie (Karen Henthorn) lied that she was behind the wheel instead. Waking up from a detailed dream, though, Nigel recalled memories of the accident, as well as Jasmine's mysterious words: "She needs to pay for what she did." Writing down what he remembered, Nigel sneaked out to visit Gina and Jasmine in hospital, but when he questioned the latter, she lied that Julie was right, and that Nigel wasn't there the night of the crash. It was clear Jasmine wanted to keep her true motives under wraps, and as Nigel persisted, she shouted at him to leave. Julie found Nigel and doubled down on her fabricated version of events, insisting that they needed to keep it a secret so she could keep looking after him. But back at home, fragments of memories haunted Nigel, and he emptied bags of rubbish onto the floor, finding his shoes which had traces of blood. Meanwhile, Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) went to see Jasmine, but he annoyed her by speculating over her mum's absence from her bedside. Jasmine claimed that her mum lived abroad and was a very busy woman, something that Oscar – and we – didn't feel rang true. After she asked Oscar to go, Jasmine delved into a fruit basket gift, where she read a card with the message: "Rest up and get well soon. Need you back on top form." The plot thickens! As Nigel knocked on Jack Branning's (Scott Maslen) door and revealed he was responsible for the crash, he asked Jack to arrest him. Will Nigel go to prison? As for Jasmine, is she in Walford on a secret revenge mission, orchestrated by a higher power? Dementia UK provides a …

Nigel, who suffers from dementia, ran over Jasmine seconds after she shoved new friend Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) out of the way. With Gina unconscious and Jasmine coming to on the ground, Nigel was shocked and confused, and Jasmine screamed for help and called an ambulance. When her phone cut out, she panicked, and begged Nigel to get help for her and Gina. But as Nigel struggled to cope with what had happened, Jasmine gave us some cryptic clues as to whatever she's hiding. "I can't die like this," she uttered. "She's ruined everything. She needs to pay for what she did," Jasmine declared before losing consciousness. Meanwhile, Nigel told wife Julie (Karen Henthorn) about the accident, and she panicked and took him home. George Knight (Colin Salmon) arrived on the scene, reeling over Gina's ordeal, while Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) was shocked to see Jasmine also injured. At the hospital, Oscar was confused to learn that Jasmine had told her mother not to come and see her, and it only fuelled our intrigue all the more. Especially when George pointed out how strange it was that Jasmine's mum had listened to her and failed to show up! While Jasmine and Gina's conditions remained unclear, Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) realised that Nigel was responsible, and eventually informed Julie that she wouldn't say anything. Julie later told a worried Nigel that he hadn't been driving that night - lying that she was the one to run over the girls. But as we wait to find out what becomes of all involved in the crash, who is Jasmine and what is her secret? Who is Jasmine Fisher in EastEnders? Well, there's a lot to unpack here!

description: The villain may not be as evil as we first believed.
encoded: Joe Absolom has revealed the truth behind Emmerdale villain Ray Walters's romantic attachment to Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy), and shared some insight into his relationship with adoptive mum Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths). Ray has been manipulating April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) and her boyfriend Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) into delivering and selling drugs for him. Things took an even darker turn when Ray led April into sexual slavery. But when we learned that Celia has been pulling the strings all along, it became clear that Ray, while ruthless, isn't half as dangerous as her! Chatting to RadioTimes.com and other media, Absolom explained: "To April and Dylan, he's at the top. But to actually most people watching him, people realize he's one of the many, one of the cogs. "And you see above him is [Celia], who he's terrified of and attached to in a sort of maternal sense. He's very much the child and the subservient one," he added. "Whereas with Dylan and April, he's kind of the dominator, if you like, or the driving force of most of those things. Most of my scenes are different with those two guys to what you see with [Celia], who's this very formidable, strident character." Describing a moment on set where a co-star had yet to find out the nature of Ray and Celia's relationship, the actor revealed: "We did a scene the other day and Jaye touched my cheek, and one of the other actors went, 'wait, are you two dating?'" While Celia's more tactile moments seem to be used to keep Ray in line, there's another, warmer opportunity to see Ray's softer side when he takes a genuine shine to Laurel! "I think when he meets Laurel, there's something that brings a side out to him that he didn't know he was going to have, but the writers did. I like it because it has a different side of it. It's more human. "I think he sees a family," Absolom added. "Sees her with her kids and sees a family life that he never had because he was adopted very early on by Celia when he was eigh…

At Mill flat, Aaron is confronted by Kev, who issues a chilling threat if Aaron doesn't leave him and Robert alone. When Robert bumps into Aaron the next day, he's troubled to hear of Kev's threats. Robert questions Kev about his threats and things quickly get heated, not helped by Aaron's arrival. When Kev shuts Aaron down, Robert is relieved, while Aaron confides in Mack over his worries with Kev. Mack visits Kev to fight Aaro…

Eva will be back during the episode airing on Monday 27th October, when her husband Ben Driscoll (played by Aaron McCusker) surprises her with the news that he has bought the pub for her. In the official trailer from ITV, we see that the couple kick things off in style with a huge party.

The villain is hellbent on winning back estranged wife Lisa (Vicky Myers), who is now engaged to Carla Connor (Alison King). With Carla in Ireland, Lisa is stressed that her and Becky's daughter Betsy (Sydney Martin) has spent a night in a police cell, accused of criminal damage. But Becky has been in talks with dodgy DI Costello (Daon Broni), and shows Lisa a flash drive which proves that Betsy is innocent. A furious Lisa heads to the station and confronts Costello, demanding Betsy's immediate release. Meanwhile, Costello tells Lisa that Becky wanted to get in touch with Lisa many times over the years, but that he put a stop to it. Betsy is released, while Costello calls Becky and confirms he's done his bit by letting Lisa think it was his fault she stayed away – and now Becky must leave. As Lisa looks at Becky's situation in a new light, the pair get close as they share wine and food and a trip down memory lane. But when Roy Cropper (David Neilson), having been asked by Carla to keep an eye on Lisa and Becky, drops by, what has he walked in on? Later, Lisa confides in Roy, and she ends up making her feelings clear regarding Carla. With Becky planning to move back to Spain, official spoilers have already confirmed that Betsy plans to join her – and it's all been orchestrated by Becky.

Reunited with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), Robert has been spending nights at his flat, and life began looking rather domesticated between the former married couple. But Robert's current husband Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill), who Aaron knows nothing about, has just been released from prison. And Robert is soon worried when he returns to Keeper's cottage to find Kev chatting to Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins). When another major lie of Robert's, this time to Kev, comes to light, Vic questions her brother. After getting her head around his tall tale, Victoria once again orders Robert to be honest with Aaron. The reason for this particular fib is, as yet, unclear, leaving us more confused than ever over Robert and Kev's union. Later, Robert introduces Kev to Claudette (Flo Wilson) and Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin), who he will be living with as part of the prison outreach programme. But when Kev and Aaron finally come face-to-face outside the café, Robert panics, leading to a rather comical camera shot of him hiding from the chaos of his self-inflicted situation. Then Robert lies to Aaron that Kev is just a friend and his ex-cellmate. A conversation with Kev allows Robert to stay in control of his juggling act, but Aaron is growing more suspicious over Robert's distracted behaviour. With Aaron set to catch Robert kissing Kev later in the week, how on earth will he react? And will we find out more about Robert's history with his spouse?

Arranging to sell his beloved car to fund a dream trip to India with wife Julie (Karen Henthorn), Nigel accidentally cleaned it with a wire brush, causing some damage. Car dealer Lauren Beale (Jacqueline Jossa) knocked the price down, and inadvertently upset an unwell Nigel when she double-checked he understood what he was signing. As Nigel wished he could have one last drive of the vehicle, he got into a row with Julie, revealing he couldn't go to India and accusing her of treating him like a child due to his worsening dementia. Grabbing the spare car keys which Julie had hidden from him, Nigel took the car from the lot and went for a spin. He got into trouble when the engine flooded, but eventually managed to get the car going again. But when Julie called him, Nigel was distracted, and didn't see Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) and new pal Jasmine (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) in the road. Jasmine pushed Gina out of the way, and Nigel knocked down Jasmine as Gina also landed in a heap a short distance away. Will the girls survive? With a mystery to unravel over Jasmine, who seems overly interested in new boss Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), we can't see her being killed off at this point. Will Nigel be able to get Gina and Jasmine the help they need? Dementia UK provides a helpline staffed by specialist admiral nurses who can advise on all aspects of caring for someone with dementia.

Locked away in a room with only drugs and a bucket for company, Harry has been punished by Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) and Tobias "Okie" Okyere (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) for the planting of a secret camera filming their illegal drug operation. It was actually Harry's dad Teddy (Roland Manookian) who left the camera behind in Kojo Asare's (Dayo Koleosho) flat, but Harry took the blame. With Kojo having been groomed and bullied into working for Ravi, Harry is now powerless to help his friend. With Ravi otherwise occupied, he ordered Okie to set Harry free - but Okie set his sights on Harry's girlfriend Gina Knight (Francesca Henry), opting to keep Harry prisoner for longer. Taunting Harry, Okie told him that he was getting close to Gina, and left more drugs for Harry before meeting her for a drink in The Queen Vic. As Gina chatted about her family set-up, she probed Okie to share details of his life. Okie revealed his dad had demanded respect, but had died when he was a teenager, after which his mum went off the rails. As we saw Harry desperately calling to be released, an oblivious Gina was sympathetic over Okie's story – but she didn't continue the date. In fact, Gina wasn't convinced that Harry had ghosted her as she'd been led to believe. She told sister Anna (Molly Rainford) that something wasn't right, but will she realise just how much danger Harry is in? Meanwhile, Okie visited Harry again, making out that he and Gina had been intimate, and Harry threatened Okie's life. But a cocky Okie insisted that he wouldn't, adding that no one was coming for Harry and that no one would miss him when he was gone. Alone and locked away, Harry took more drugs and seem resigned to his fate. But as his situation grows more urgent, and next week sees K…

encoded: All eyes will be on The Queen Vic landlady Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) in EastEnders at Halloween, with a huge revelation set to leave the locals stunned. In some advanced snippets revealed by the BBC, little is revealed about the storylines of the week. Ordinarily, said spoilers include some context; although even then, information is limited until full details are released the following week. This time around, there's even less to go on, and this typically means that a particularly busy, eventful set of episodes are on the way. With Joel Marshall (Max Murray) recently detained by police after his horrific attack on Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig), upcoming scenes see his father, Ross (played by Alex Walkinshaw), confide in Kat's husband Alfie Moon (Shane Richie). But with the Moons' son Tommy (Sonny Kendall) having been a friend of Joel's until the latter's behaviour came to a head, what will transpire here? And when Kat drops a bombshell in the pub, what does she have to say? Is it linked to Joel and Tommy, or could her daughter Zoe Slater's (Michelle Ryan) own mystery revelation, unveiled to viewers in the lead up to Halloween week, be the focus of Kat's attention? Whatever it is, Kat's words send "shockwaves" among those listening. As a situation spirals in The Vic, we're left wondering just how much horror will unfold this spooky season. Here are the official EastEnders teasers released by the BBC. EastEnders advanced spoilers for Monday 27th October - Thursday 30th October Monday 27th October Ross confides in Alfie.

After weeks in France trying to track down the man who murdered his son Nate (Jurell Carter), Cain was arrested in Dover. His wife Moira (Natalie J Robb) picks him up, and as the pair return to Butler's Farm, she questions him on what's gone on. Cain is initially evasive, but eventually claims that he couldn't locate John - although we have to wonder whether he's being honest. Having said that, we can't imagine Emmerdale delivering an off-screen comeuppance for this particular villain. And, with the ITV soap currently filming next year's crossover special with Coronation Street, and a Wanted poster spotted with John's face on in Weatherfield, we're convinced that John's story may conclude during 'Corriedale'. But back to the present, where Cain opted to get drunk and failed to join siblings Sam (James Hooton) and Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) at the graveside of their dad Zak (Steve Halliwell) on the first anniversary of his death. When Cain makes a mistake that upsets his son Kyle (Huey Quinn), we're left pondering just how far Cain will fall as he hits self-destruct. Meanwhile, another anniversary is approaching, with Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) sharing a fond moment remembering Aaron's late sister Liv (Isobel Steele). But as Robert cancels calls from his secret prison husband Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill), his web of lies is about to get in the way.

Another of Joel Marshall's (Max Murray) sickening crimes has been exposed in the latest edition of EastEnders. With Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) recovering in hospital after being violently attacked by Joel, the teen remained in custody after disowning dad Ross (Alex Walkinshaw). Ross had turned Joel in to police after finding degrading footage of women on his laptop, and as he paid Vicki a visit, explaining the evidence he found. Disgusted that Ross had already known about Joel filming girls and women without their knowledge, Vicki was incredulous when Ross insisted that he couldn't turn his back on Joel, and she ended their relationship. Ross was subsequently turfed out of Sharon Watts's (Letitia Dean) house, while Vicki was discharged from hospital. Across the Square, a social worker and a detective arrived to tell Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) that a video of her having sex with Joel had been posted online. Viewers will remember that Ross had discovered the footage shortly after Joel filmed it without Avani's consent, but while he demanded his son deleted it, Joel secretly kept it. Avani was devastated, running away as she struggled to take in this vile invasion of her privacy. Supported by parents Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) and Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara), Avani was grateful when Ravi offered to book a last minute holiday. This meant that Ravi left Tobias "Okie" Okyere (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) in charge of freeing captive Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway), but Okie had other ideas. As for Avani, how will she move on from her traumatic discovery when she returns? And with Joel due to appear in court, what punishment will he face?

Having been arrested for a shocking, brutal attack on Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig), the partner of his dad Ross (Alex Walkinshaw), Joel was greeted by teacher Julie Bates (Karen Henthorn), who agreed to be his appropriate adult. Meanwhile, Ross visited Vicki in hospital, where he offered an emotional apology for Joel's inexcusable actions, and Vicki pointed out that he should have taken action sooner. But when Ross explained that, though he hated what Joel had done, he couldn't bring himself to disown him, Vicki was lost for words. Julie then updated Ross that Joel had had swabs taken for samples, and Ross asked Julie if Joel was a psychopath – to which she replied that she wasn't qualified to answer. As Julie revealed that Joel was asking for his dad, Ross was torn as police arrived to take Vicki's statement, but he ultimately headed to the station. Ross was able to watch via monitors as, in the interview room, Joel claimed that he gave Vicki "a little push" which had led to her tripping over. Lying through his teeth, Joel failed to take any accountability for his actions, but showed his true colours when he aired his toxic views on women. "I'm just a kid," Joel concluded. At The Queen Vic, Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) told officers that Joel tricked him, and that he had wanted to help his mate until he realised what had really gone on. Tommy was shaken by the extent of Joel's attack on Vicki, and later told mum Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) how sorry he was for everything. As for Joel, he was confronted with the video evidence of his attack on Vicki, at which point Joel angrily demanded to see Ross, now aware that his own father had r…

Davies is the daughter of soap veteran Alex Fletcher, who has starred in Hollyoaks as Diane Hutchinson since 2010 and previously played Brookside's Jacqui Dixon. And in the perfect twist, Davies's alter ego Esme is in fact the daughter of Jacqui! With Davies having filmed with returning Brookie stars Sue Johnston and John McArdle, who play Sheila and Billy Corkhill, she is also due to feature in Hollyoaks' late night spin-offs, where Esme heads to a Liverpool nightclub. The soap's infamous 'Later' shows typically take on a darker tone, airing in a late night slot. And that's when Esme will enjoy some fun with some of the Chester teens, including Frankie Osborne (played by Isabelle Smith). Speaking about her role, Davies said: "I’ve absolutely loved being a part of the Brookside and Laters episodes. "There has been such a nostalgic energy on set, and I’m really looking forward to seeing it all come together to celebrate 30 years of Hollyoaks." The star's television credits include ITV's Maryland, in which she starred alongside Suranne Jones, as well as The Gathering and The Tower. Davies is currently filming season 3 of the BAFTA nominated ITV sitcom G’wed, and is also beginning her studies at prestigious drama school RADA. On working with Davies, BAFTA winning director Martin Smith shared: "Yasmin is such an exciting actor and a joy to have on set. "I directed her in the upcoming series of Silent Witness in a challenging role that she embraced and shone in. A delight to work with, she is a real livewire and a talent to keep an eye out for," he added. "Not only a resourceful actor, she is a natural on the film set, and a real team player whose enthusiasm was infectious. "I can’t wait to see what she does next and being a huge fan of Brookside back in the day, am really looking forward to seeing her in this new ro…

description: Robert's double life falls apart!
encoded: Ryan Hawley has promised an "explosive" reaction is on the way for Emmerdale's Robert Sugden, when Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) sees Robert kissing his secret husband, Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill)! It's a terrible way for Aaron to find out that Robert is married to another man, and speaking to RadioTimes.com and other press, Hawley revealed what we can expect when we pick up from Aaron's discovery. "It’s going to be explosive," he shared. "Aaron thinks he and Robert are on the path that they both think they were always intended to be on, all the drama’s behind them, there’s no John any more and they can carry on their lives as they both hope and plan to do. "Then out of nowhere, there’s this guy who turns up and [Aaron thinks] he’s his old cell mate, and the next thing he sees is them kissing round the back of the Woolpack," said the actor. "So not only has he been lied to after everything else that’s happened, Robert’s half brother has also lied to him. So it’s a lot for Aaron to take in, I would imagine." Asked what Robert's feelings are for Kev, he teased: "I think it’s unclear at this stage as to what his feelings are. There’s this guy that turns up and says he’s his husband, but Robert is actively trying to pursue Aaron. So I guess that’s the dilemma, isn’t it? Who is this guy that he’s married to and what’s the history there?" "Kev loves him and there’s quite a complicated relationship," added Hawley. "They’re lovers, they’re married, they’re husband and husband. They both love each other but it’s kind of, to what degree does Robert love Kev and what degree does he love Aaron? "I don’t think Robert wants to break [Kev's] heart. Robert doesn’t want to betray Kev, Robert has deep feelings for him that aren’t just of gratitude, they’re very complicated." Adding an extra mystery to proceedings, co-star Coghill revealed: "It’s complicated, isn’t it? There are genuine feelings there, but they’re not quite what they should be." With these cryptic clues in mind, it see…

description: It's not the actor's first time in the famous village!
encoded: Chris Coghill made quite the impression on Emmerdale viewers when he turned up as Robert Sugden's (Ryan Hawley) secret prison husband Kev Townsend! But this isn't the actor's first time starring on the Yorkshire-based soap. Speaking to RadioTimes.com and other press, Coghill told us: "Weirdly, my first ever job was on Emmerdale. I was 17 years old. I’ve also done Coronation Street – I’ve done the lot. It’s very different to EastEnders. It’s nice to be here." While the actor appeared briefly in the Dales in 1997, soap viewers will most remember Coghill as Walford villain Tony King. But Kev will be ruffling feathers in an entirely different way. Having pursued ex-husband Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) ever since returning to the village, Robert's marriage to another man left us in shock. Among the most pressing questions on our mind was, what kind of character is Kev? Ahead of his early release for armed robbery amid a terminal illness, fans may think they know what kind of presence Kev is already – but Coghill has revealed it's not so black and white. "People thought, here’s another baddie – but he isn’t," he said. Joining the discussion, Hawley weighed in that "Kev is a really complex character, there’s so much to him. He’s not even a baddie. "He’s got a lot of redeeming qualities. There’s a lot going on and you’ll see that as the weeks play out. There’s more to him than meets the eye. However, added Coghill of Kev: "He’s an incredibly dangerous person. Kev wouldn’t have any qualms about physically attacking anybody, apart from possibly Robert. He also described Kev as an "unhinged spanner in the works" for 'Robron' – the affectionately coined name for Robert and Aaron's relationship. And Hawley confirmed that Kev is "something very different and volatile. Dangerous [but] not in a calculated way like John was. "Unhinged and unpredictable, in a reactionary kind of way. He’s something very different. Also he’s redeemable, you kind of feel sorry for him." Coghill shared: …

description: Becky is making her presence felt.
encoded: **Warning: Contains spoilers for today's (Monday 13th October 2025) episode of Coronation Street, now available on ITVX** A surprising move is made in Monday's (13th October) Coronation Street, all thanks to Becky Swain's (Amy Cudden) behaviour. As Carla Connor (Alison King) prepares to leave for Ireland, she tells fiancée Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) that she's finally sold the Rovers to a man called Ben. While Carla has no more information than that - something Lisa notes with amusement – we know that Ben is actually with Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley), and they're due to arrive in the coming weeks. For now, though, focus remains on the chaos of Becky's presence, as she makes an appearance and manages to rile Carla once more with a reference to her shared past with Lisa. Soon, Carla admits she's having second thoughts about her trip, as she doesn't want to leave Lisa alone with Becky. Lisa wonders if Carla trusts her, and insists she loves her and not Becky. But while it seems the matter is settled, Carla makes an unexpected move, leaving us musing over just how deep her concerns run. Is Carla right to be wary? Well, Coronation Street has officially confirmed that Becky is indeed a villain, so yes, we'd say Carla is entirely justified. What does Carla do, and what will Becky's next move be?

description: **CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR EMMERDALE'S MONDAY 13TH OCTOBER EPISODE**
encoded: **Warning: Contains spoilers for today's (Monday 13th October 2025) episode of Emmerdale, now available on ITVX** There's a big update on Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) ahead of his return to Emmerdale village, as Monday's (13th October) edition saw wife Moira (Natalie J Robb) receive big news. After his half-brother Caleb Miligan (William Ash) helped killer John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) escape, Cain fled to France to track him down, intent on making John pay for murdering his son Nate (Jurell Carter). But it's been weeks, and Moira is struggling without her husband, and also collapsed at Butler's Farm recently. With Moira and their son Isaac (Bobby Dunsmuir) suffering with a bug, she is upset when stepson Kyle (Huey Quinn) reveals he's won a football prize, but had kept quiet about his match so as not to add to Moira's stress. Upset by this and furious that Cain is neglecting their needs, Moira leaves him a message, demanding he come home. But when Moira suddenly gets a call regarding Cain, what has she been told? You'll have to tune in now on ITVX, or tonight on ITV1 to find out, but what we can say is that Cain arrives back very soon – and he's hit the self-destruct button. Cain doesn't give anything away when quizzed about John, and is seen drinking heavily, failing to commit to honouring the anniversary of his dad Zak's (Steve Halliwell) death. So, has Cain found John? With John on the run, surely he can't get away with his crimes! And with Coronation Street featuring a scene with John on a police 'Wanted' poster, could his comeuppance happen during the ITV soap crossover early next year? John's estranged husband Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) has reunited with his true love (and John's half-brother) Robert (Ryan Hawley), but Robert is hiding a secret prison husband! As Aaron takes the next step with Robert, will he learn what's really going on - and will he get news on John?
