description: Joe's out of control.
encoded: Ever since Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) returned to Emmerdale in 2024, he’s been committing heinous offences for his own gain, and facing barely any consequences. From causing a fatal crash to engineering the stabbing of his uncle, Caleb Miligan (William Ash) so he could steal his kidney, Joe’s behaviour knows no boundaries. Joe filmed Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) killing her twisted half-brother John (Oliver Farnworth) in self-defence, blackmailed her and forced Robert (Ryan Hawley) into planting evidence on Moira Dingle (Natalie J. Robb), before getting his hands on Butler's Farm. When Moira discovers in upcoming scenes that Joe was behind her incarceration, she sets out to make him pay. But will she be the one to finally take him down, or might another character put an end to his despicable reign? It’s high time Joe got his comeuppance, and we’ve rounded up all the ways in which it could happen! Join us as we delve into the biggest theories below. How will Joe Tate get his comeuppance in Emmerdale? Moira Dingle takes aim with a shotgun Next week, furious that Joe almost destroyed her life to oust her from the farm, Moira grabs her shotgun and confronts him for framing her for modern slavery. They’re interrupted by Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough), but Moira refuses to back down. Having only just been released from jail, will Moira really risk her freedom by shooting Joe? Perhaps instead, she’ll try to extract a confession, or walk away leaving him a cowering mess from her threats. Whether Moira actually harms Joe remains to be seen, but there are plenty of other, more calculating ways to bring this villain down. Cain Dingle chooses trickery over violence Cain is preoccupied over his imminent surgery to treat prostate cancer. But if he finds out what Joe put his wife through, Cain will be out for blood; and we can imagine him plotting vengeance from his hospital bed if need be. But perhaps he could break the habit of a lifetime and rise above violence? Cain has a…

encoded: This article contains reference to child sexual abuse and pregnancy loss that some readers may find distressing. *Warning: Spoilers for Wednesday 1st April's episode of Coronation Street, available now on ITVX.* Maggie Driscoll's (Pauline McLynn) interference changed everything for one villain in Wednesday's (1st April 2026) Coronation Street. As Maggie's grandson Will (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) continued to act as though nothing was wrong, his father Ben (Aaron McCusker) and stepmum Eva (Catherine Tyldesley) could only hope he was staying away from Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon). Megan has groomed and abused Will and is now pregnant with his baby, a fact which could be the proof needed to charge Megan. But she refuses to do a paternity test, despite being under police investigation – yet she continues to protest her innocence. Secretly, Will met with Megan at her new flat, and appeared loved-up as they spoke of their child. Will still believes he is in a real relationship with Megan, but she has abused her power in the worst way.

Maggie was on their trail, using a tracker to trace Will at the flat – though by the time she got there, Megan was alone. While Maggie warned Megan to leave Will alone and move away, and insisted Megan had no idea what she was capable of, she stopped short of using violence. At least, until Megan lashed out at Maggie, and Maggie knocked her down in self-defence. At The Rovers, Ben and Eva worried about Will who had not been at school, but when he reappeared he told them kids were giving him a hard time over Megan. Later, though, Will met up with Megan, who had been calling him urgently. Attentive readers may have spotted that the wording in recent spoilers had already hinted Megan's pregnancy may not reach f…

The young mum-to-be was shocked when told that she may have conceived weeks before getting together with boyfriend Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota), who currently believes he's the father. When Penny told cousins Lauren Beale (Jacqueline Jossa) and Oscar Branning (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) that she slept with Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) on the day he set off for rehab late last year, and so the baby could be his, Lauren urged her not to bury her head in the sand. But rather than taking a paternity test, Oscar thought it was best to leave things as they were, much to Lauren's disapproval. At her market stall, Penny was flustered when Vinny's mum Suki (Balvinder Sopal) approached with her wife Eve Panesar-Unwin (Heather Peace), making a sincere effort to apologise for her recent behaviour.

Feeling guilty about what she was keeping from Vinny, Penny insisted that hers and Vinny's plans to buy a shop were over, and told Suki to forget the whole thing before rushing away. Suki was baffled, and suspicious enough to confront Penny just as Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) was checking in on her. Coming to Penny's rescue, Nicola took her for mocktails and sensed her unease since her first scan at the hospital, although Penny claimed all was well. Meanwhile, Vinny assumed Suki was to blame for Penny's distress, and when he doubled down on his commitment to her, she opted to keep quiet. As for Harry, he was reflecting on girlfriend Gina Knig…

With the Dingles and the Tates embroiled in yet another feud, Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) was determined that a special meal with Kim (Claire King) must resolve hostilities. Kim was on board, although Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) wasn't convinced her visit was a good idea. Sam Dingle (James Hooton) foraged for mushrooms, Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) made apple turnovers and Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) brought some apparently high-quality wine. All seemed to be going well until Kim made a toast, and began choking. When Kim collapsed, Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) stepped in and she was taken to hospital.

Lydia explained the events of the day to trainee doctor Jacob Sugden (Joe-Warren Plant), while Graham and Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) heard of Kim's condition and rushed to see her. At Wishing Well cottage, the Dingles mulled over what had happened, and Sam asked Cain about the mushrooms, as he had told Sam where to pick them. Cain replied that all Sam needed to know was that the mushrooms were safe — but as Cain looked on with a dark expression, is he being honest? Given all that's gone on between his family and the Tates of late, could he have targeted Kim in revenge? Graham had previously warned that the Dingles might poison Kim, and as her condition hung in the balance, he vowed to unmask the poisoner. Who tried to kill Kim?

As Vinny prepared for impending fatherhood by setting up a meeting with a potential investor for Penny's shop, Oscar Branning (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) accompanied her to the hospital for her first scan.

Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal) playfully bickered over which family the baby would take after, leaving Penny overwhelmed.

This got to Penny, who escaped to the café alone, where she was found by Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) who offered a few kind words after Nicola's earlier bluntness. Later, Penny was found in the Square by Oscar and Lauren Beale (Jacqueline Jossa), where she unburdened her secret. She had a fling with Harry before she and Vinny got together, so it looked like Harry may well be the father of her baby. Will…

Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) was left trapped once more with abusive new husband Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) in Coronation Street (30 March), despite efforts from George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) to save him. Having shared suspicions of Theo's behaviour with Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) and Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby), George was worried sick for Todd, who he thinks of as a son. Sarah told Theo's boss, Gary Windass (Mikey North) of the many examples that pointed to domestic abuse, and Gary witnessed first hand how scared Todd had become, before telling Theo he was watching him. At the builder's yard, Gary handed Theo all his tools and sacked him. When Theo loudly protested, Gary warned him that he was coming for him, while George visited Todd alone at the flat. Handing Todd a packed bag, George explained this had everything he would need for a quick escape and tenderly vowed to look after Todd. But as Theo messaged that he was on his way home, a panicked Todd ushered George away - but not before George hid the bag out of sight. As Theo questioned Todd on what George was doing there, Todd dismissed George as interfering and quickly moved the subject on to their move to Belfast, hoping to keep Theo in a good mood. At the corner shop, George noted how quiet things sounded at the upstairs flat where he knew Todd was suffering. Will Todd reach out for help?

description: We take a look at the soap's biggest whodunnit stories.
encoded: The famous 'whodunnit' has become a soap staple, allowing fans to share their theories over a long-running storyline. Mostly, this involves a murder or an act of savage violence; but as we delved into EastEnders' archives, we couldn't ignore those versions that were more scandalous than fatal. It's 25 years this month since Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) was almost fatally shot down by a mystery assailant, who was hiding among the bushes in the Albert Square community garden. Over 19.8 million viewers tuned in to find out who would try and kill the beloved Walford resident, with his girlfriend Lisa Fowler (Lucy Benjamin) revealed to be the culprit. The reception was huge, and stretched way beyond the BBC soap's everyday audience. Not only did The National Grid report that the episode received the (then) third highest power surge on record, but the kick-off of a UEFA Cup semi-final football game between Liverpool and Barcelona was delayed by 15 minutes to allow for the extended episode. So, join Radio Times as we rank the very best 'whodunnit' plots from across the decades. Best ever EastEnders whodunnits – From who shot Phil to who killed Archie? 10. Who's sleeping with Kat? Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) cheating on soulmate Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) in the first place was already a bad start to this plot. It just simply wouldn't happen. But as Alfie wondered which Branning brother was her lover, Kat pointed to the one we least suspected - the toxic Derek (Jamie Foreman)! All was eventually forgiven and put right when Alfie and Kat reunited, but this was one 'whodunnit' we really didn't want to know about! 9.

description: Robert had a welcome reminder of his past.
encoded: Emmerdale aired a huge turning point for Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) in its latest instalment, with potential to do wonders for the fan-favourite legacy character. Robert’s half-sister Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) was blackmailed into signing over her share of Butler’s Farm to Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) to protect the secret that she killed twisted half-brother John (Oliver Farnworth). After Robert's fiancé Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) dealt her some home truths, Vic acknowledged that Robert had always felt like an outsider, and apologised for being so hard on him. Though devastated by Vic’s decision to join stepmother Diane (Elizabeth Estensen) in Portugal, Robert’s spirits were raised when he stumbled, quite literally, upon the old Emmerdale Farm stone on his late grandmother Annie’s (Sheila Mercier) field, and he vowed to reclaim the land. The Sugdens were, of course, Emmerdale’s first family but until now, this has felt long forgotten on-screen. So, I hope this poignant scene is a sign of things to come. Long-time fans may recall that Robert’s father Jack (Andrew Burt, Clive Hornby) initially rejected his birthright; and Robert himself made the same choice upon Jack’s death. But in 2025, with years of prison behind him and a fresh perspective, Robert began to embrace farming in what was a delightful foray into the old days; until John’s reign of terror and Joe’s exploits got in the way. Recent events have positioned Robert as a tenant farmer, and this is the optimum chance to finally revisit Sugden lore and restore their legacy to its former glory. With almost every other family member absent, rebuilding the Sugden dynasty is an absolute must for Robert. His only nearby relative is niece Sarah (Katie Hill). When the bombshell drops that her surrogate, grandmother Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), has actually been carrying her own baby, it would be refreshing to see Robert step in to help Sarah, whilst finally getting to know each other. Meanwhile, Christmas chaos thwarted…

description: Here's what fans voted as the Australian soap's finest hour.
encoded: The end is nigh for our beloved Neighbours, and during that time there's been an abundance of iconic moments. In 2022, fans were quick to vote the legendary wedding of Scott (Jason Donovan) and Charlene Robinson (Kylie Minogue) as the best ever Ramsay Street moment of all time in our exclusive poll. A selection of iconic stories were compiled by RadioTimes.com, including the scene which saw Harold Bishop (Ian Smith) return from being lost at sea. Years later, he had a spiritual encounter with late wife Madge (Anne Charleston), while the plane crash that claimed the life of his son David also got a mention. Also on the list was canine Bouncer's dream sequence, Hendrix Greyson's (Ben Turland) beautiful proposal to Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone) and that Fake Dee saga. But you had your say, and a huge 49 per cent of you voted for Scott and Charlene's nuptials as the crowning moment! In fact, every other nomination fell below the 10 per cent mark, other than the moment Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) confronted Karl (Alan Fletcher) over his affair, which took second place with 11 per cent. Scott and Charlene said their vows back in 1987 with two million viewers watching in Australia. In the UK, the episode aired over a year later, netting a massive audience of 20m people! So it's easy to see why the characters' magical moment earned the title in your eyes. Donovan, who reprised his role in what was then deemed the show's final ever episode in 2022, said at the time: "Thank you to all those who’ve voted Scott and Charlene’s wedding the greatest ever Neighbours moment!" Speaking further about being a part of the soap's legacy, he added: "What an honour to be part of an amazing cast of actors who’ve given so much to this show.

description: The actress is loving playing the village villain.
encoded: This article includes reference to violent acts that some readers may find upsetting. Jaye Griffiths has confirmed that her Emmerdale character, Celia Daniels, won't be around forever. The actress stars as the ruthless kingpin behind Ray Walters's (Joe Absolom) drugs operation, and modern slavery is also being explored with the pair at the helm. Chatting to RadioTimes.com and other media, Griffiths was asked if she always knew the full picture for her time on the ITV soap. "I knew it was finite, which I am very sad about, because I would like to stay forever," she explained. "It's such a strong arc." Celia also happens to have mothered Ray since he was a youngster, and with Ray taking a shine to Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy), Celia is in for a shock when she spots them looking close. "So that scene is, Laurel goes to kiss him, and he won't kiss her," summed up Griffiths. To Celia, this is actually all the proof she needs that Ray cares deeply for Laurel, and for the first time, we get an insight into the inner workings of Celia's mind. "That breaks Celia's heart, because that means she's not a floozy, she's not a one-off. That he's so serious about her, he won't even kiss her. "He likes her that much, and that is too real for Celia. So now the possibility is he might leave her, and I think that would come close to breaking Celia," she added. "It was only four lines in that scene of, 'it broke her heart to witness it', and then she covers it up, of course. "That was one moment we could show an inch of fragility, a moment of weakness, because otherwise you just see her strolling about hurting people." On Celia's possessive streak, the star revealed "she is very much about losing control of [Ray], but underneath that it’s about someone else loving him, 'he’s mine'. "She has managed their situation because they move so frequently, that she's the only one he relies on, the one he turns to, the one who's forever sorting things out for him and with him.

Emmerdale star Joshua Richards on Bear's shocking descent into modern slavery – and past role exploring "horrifying" subject matter

description: A special episode airs next week.
encoded: Joshua Richards has spoken at length for the first time about his Emmerdale character Bear Wolf's shocking new storyline. Bear, who has been missing for several months while his son Paddy Dingle (Dominic Brunt) assumed he was staying with a friend in Ireland, has actually been manipulated as a victim of modern slavery. Shedding light on Bear's circumstances, Richards told RadioTimes.com and other press that "basically it's something that you can slip into, and if you've been manipulated a certain way". "And being a certain age as well, where maybe you do think that you're useless and redundant, if someone convinces you that no, you are worth something, that you do have some kind of currency. Currency being the operative word," he emphasised. "You can be somehow manipulated into a situation that you didn't envisage seeing yourself in, in the first place. So it's quite fascinating how these things actually do happen." The actor has described Bear's ordeal as "one of the most horrifying things you can possibly think of". "Some are in the dark web of life, there are people who are gangs, who are criminals, who are ready to exploit people. Because the biggest bill you'll ever get for anything you have done, for example your house extension, the biggest part of your bill is the labour," he explained. "And if criminal gangs can take that essence out, that you don't have to pay for that labour, then that's where big profits are made, people are exploited and misery begins." Richards went on to share how he prepared for such a harrowing storyline. "All I can do is be a very old-fashioned actor and read the script because I don't hold with the method way of things," he said. "I didn't lock myself away in a tent or hide in the countryside and try to scrabble along. "No, I just read the scripts and used my imagination to put myself in the position of other people, who are in the real position. Basically it's done by the auspices of the great researchers and the writers of the d…

encoded: Emmerdale stars Ryan Hawley and Chris Coghill have promised a "dramatic" climax in their characters' big love triangle plot. Hawley's Robert Sugden married Kev Townsend, played by Coghill, behind bars, and while we're set to learn more about their dynamic and about Robert's time in prison, we're just as keen to learn where this surprising storyline is going. Set to renew his wedding vows with Kev, Robert is given an ultimatum by his ex-husband and soulmate, Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller): go through with it, and there's no going back for their relationship. This leaves Robert at a crossroads, but as for what we can expect in the long-term, Hawley told RadioTimes.com and other media: "I think it's leading to a climax, to some kind of…" "Something very dramatic," Coghill immediately picked up. "But we can't say, yeah." Just how will Aaron fare in what's to come? Adding a rather unexpected theme to proceedings, Hawley also shared that "it'll be swashbucklingly good." While we wrap our heads around that mind-blowing description, Hawley was asked about his initial reaction when he found out that Robert would have a secret husband. "I didn't know I had a husband in prison and then someone on set was like, 'oh, yeah, your husband is coming into it.' And I was like, 'what?'" he revealed. "And then, obviously, we meet Chris and you know, I was kind of trepidatious as to what that would be like, because, you're going to be doing so much stuff with someone, and everyone seems to have a story, everyone knew him, and he was everyone's mate." But Hawley, whose return to Emmerdale in May left fans thrilled, is full of praise for his new co-star and hopes that viewers will love watching Kev. "Then I met him, and then, yeah, we had some really nice scenes together and they were brilliant. Chris was brilliant in the scenes and I was genuinely really excited. "I am genuinely, really excited to see how people are going to respond to him, because I think it's a brilliant character, a great…

description: What on earth is about to be revealed?

With Robert having married Kev Townsend (played by Chris Coghill) during his years off-screen, the special instalment will include the lowdown on how that came to be. And, speaking to RadioTimes.com and other press about filming the scenes with co-star Coghill, Hawley left us intrigued by teasing a bombshell that he definitely didn't see coming. "There's one particularly very nice little twist that neither of us knew about until I read the script. "I remember reading it and I was like, 'Whoa' because no one had told me that, that was something that had happened, and it is massively pivotal," he explained. "As far as we know, no one finds out about it so there are some interesting things that they're sewing in this episode for things potentially leading forward. "For us to have this kind of flashback, it's lovely to have that whole episode to kind of get to tell a story. And this backstory that we got to flesh out." As for what this twist entails, we'll of course just have to wait and see. But joining Hawley for the chat, Coghill revealed one of the themes of the flashback edition: "It explains a lot about my psyche towards what I expect from [Robert]." "There's a thing that leads into that flashback episode which explains a lot about how our relationship [started] in the first place." Hawley added: "It was worth doing because, yeah, it's very informative. It kind of explains a lot about the relationship and it's a nice scene, there's nice episodes, nice scenes in it. " Expanding on what fans can expect, he shared: "There's different time periods. Basically the episode goes from 2021 to all the way up until right before Aaron and John's wedding. "It's at several different points throughout that time period." This meant that Hawley's hair went through a variety of different styles to reflect the changing eras. "I gu…

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.

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.

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…

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!

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!

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.

encoded: **Warning: Contains spoilers for today's (Monday 20th October 2025) episode of Coronation Street, now available on ITVX** Becky Swain's (Amy Cudden) latest scheme is revealed in Monday's (20th October) Coronation Street. 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. Will Lisa find out, and will Becky realise she's fighting a losing battle for their marriage? Or will she be able to gain the upper hand?
