description: The Dune and Silo star plays the mysterious Kaulo in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.
encoded: Rebecca Ferguson has spoken about her approach to her intimate scenes in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. The Swedish actress, known for her roles in the Dune and Mission: Impossible series, joins the franchise for the feature film outing, playing the mysterious Kaulo Chirklo, the identical twin sister of Tommy Shelby's former lover, Zelda, with whom he sired his eldest son, Erasmus "Duke" Shelby (Barry Keoghan). The film sees Tommy (Cillian Murphy) and Kaulo get very up close and personal, but with a rather interesting twist - but we won't spoil more here... Speaking about working with intimacy coordinators, Ferguson told Michael Hodges in the upcoming issue of Radio Times magazine: "I think it’s wonderful that we can have intimacy coordinators and sometimes they are needed, but for me, it’s very off-putting and it makes me feel very uncomfortable because I have enormous boundaries and I can verbalise them. "So we could sit down and say, what do you need to feel safe? What do I need to feel safe? And then she could step out of the scene." Speaking about how she approached the scene with Murphy, Ferguson continued: "I had called Cillian and asked him how he wanted to work. It sounds so silly, but I said, 'I’ve studied your sex scenes…' And he went, 'That’s really weird and awkward.' And I went, 'I know, but bear with me. This is not just a regular sex scene. This is not us getting our kit off, getting on with it, bish bash bosh. This is a moment of release. This is a moment of intimacy, there’s magic.'"

description: A new era is set to begin for 'Emmerdale Farm'.
encoded: It's the dawn of a new era this week on Emmerdale. The ITV soap will see a big change at Butler's Farm in the coming days after Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) decided to give up the home she has had since arriving in the village in 2009 to ease the burden on her family, as husband Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) deals with his prostate cancer diagnosis. As a result, Moira finally gave in and accepted the Tate family's offer for the farm, with Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) especially delighted to get the land. Joe then installed his conflicted accomplice in framing Moira for involvement in Celia Daniels's modern slavery operation, Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), back in the farm that was once run by the Sugdens. Disowned by his uncle Cain, Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) felt guilty but ultimately stood by his soulmate, Robert. Now, this week, Cain will decide to move his family into the Dingle Homestead, and when he goes to the Woolpack later, he is hardly in the mood for celebrating, despite being with his extended family. The Dingles are suspicious when Joe arrives and offers Cain's sister-in-law, Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick), an apology for his past behaviour and a pay rise. Joe's actions also court the suspicions of his step-grandmother, Kim Tate (Claire King), too. The time soon comes for Cain to sadly leave Butler's Farm behind, with Robert then swiftly and rather uncomfortably replacing the Dingles that once lived there.

However, keen to restore some goodwill and also to gain an experienced farmhand, Robert soon offers Moira's son, Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano), a job on the farm if he wants it. Will Matty accept? Cain and his struggling sons soon arrive at the Dingle Homestead, with Cain resolving to carve out their future with a new …

description: The tragic tale of William Shakespeare's family life is well deserving of its flowers.
encoded: To be or not to be? It probably shouldn’t be a question. Somehow, for many pundits and critics, Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s acclaimed historical fiction novel Hamnet has become something of a villain this Oscars season. It’s a bizarre take when the tragedy has so much to offer. The film tackles a lesser-known element of William Shakespeare’s life: the loss of his son Hamnet. Like O’Farrell’s novel, though, this text primarily centres its experience on Shakespeare’s wife and Hamnet’s mother, here named Agnes. Portrayed with ferocity and heartbreaking nuance by Irish triple-threat Jessie Buckley, Agnes is a spiritual, earthy and misunderstood figure — one who draws the attention of Shakespeare in his youth (a moving Paul Mescal) and before his success as a playwright in London. Primarily set in the pastoral setting of Stratford-Upon-Avon, we see how the Shakespeare clan grows in size following Agnes and Shakespeare’s wedding, with the pair welcoming three children and living an idyllic life as William's career in London begins to take off. View Green Video on the source website However, the true crux of the drama occurs when a malady claims the life of their son Hamnet (the wonderful young talent Jacobi Jupe) and sets them on diverging paths… until Shakespeare’s works come to the rescue. A moving examination of grief and the power of art, Hamnet has signalled another vote of confidence in Zhao from the film industry, after the plaudits and gongs won for her much-celebrated film Nomadland. The prospect of a female and non-white Oscar-winner gaining recognition from the Academy so close to her previous wins should be welcomed – as although ceilings can be shattered, in the film industry they can always quickly grow back, leaving a long wait until the next slice of the pie. Separately, success for Hamnet would be just recognition for one of our finest acting talents in Jessie Buckley, who continues to give emotionally true performances in a singular ran…

description: Whatever happened to Shaun Emery?
encoded: *Spoiler warning for The Capture season 3 episode 1, which is available now on BBC iPlayer* The Capture has offered an update on Rachel Carey's original co-lead of the show, Lance Corporal Shaun Emery, played by Callum Turner. The first season of the BBC thriller saw Carey (Holliday Grainger) investigating Emery for murder, but later discovered he had been framed with 'Correction'. Despite this, the first run of episodes ended with Emery accepting his fate in prison on a charge of manslaughter to avoid worse accusations of child abuse and to complete a kind of penance for his own actions when acting as a soldier. In the third-season premiere, which picks up months after the season 2 ending in which Carey exposed 'Correction', Emery is revealed on BBC News to be free from prison and reunited with his loved ones. So, a happy ending for the character - even if it remains off-screen. Speaking at a press screening for the season 3 premiere, show creator and writer Ben Chanan answered simply at first when Radio Times asked if we would see more of Emery's story addressed: "No." Chanan then continued: "He's out, he's out. He got released, so that's it. Who knows? Seasons 4, 5, 6... "What I will tell you is, we did, in fact, think of bringing him back in more significantly, but then this idea kicked in, and...I think we ran it the right way, just in terms of the narrative." He revealed at the same event: "Did you see the original idea? Yeah, sort of, half of it. I sat down to write an episode in which the Home Secretary was assassinated, but Carey catches the attacker, and he doesn't show up at work like that. She tracks him down. He dies before she can question him. That was the original thing. And as I was writing, I was thinking, but then the mystery is kind of over, the bad guys are already dead. That's a bad idea." Of course, Acting Commander Rachel Carey now has enough to contend with following that explosive premiere that saw Home Secretary Isaac Turner (Paapa Essiedu…

description: A new chapter in House Targaryen's history may be heading to the big screen.
encoded: Is Game of Thrones finally heading to the big screen? The smash hit HBO franchise, which began with the main series and spawned prequels House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has long been rumoured to be getting the cinematic treatment. Page Six Hollywood now reports that former House of Cards showrunner and Andor writer Beau Willimon has already submitted a draft of the script to Warner Bros Discovery (the owners of HBO), who are apparently pleased with it. A source speaking to the publication suggests that the film would explore the conquering of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros by Aegon I Targaryen, dubbed 'The Conqueror' in the lore of Westeros. "All of 'Game of Thrones' stems back to him, and you’ve never seen him on any of the shows," the source noted. However, the main issue that leaves the project uncertain going ahead will be the current acquisition plans by Paramount to take over Warner Bros Discovery, which is tipped to see streaming services HBO Max and Paramount+ merge. While Warner Bros Discovery and Paramount have a deal, the takeover still awaits regulatory approval. Radio Times has reached out to Warner Bros Discovery for comment on the report. It's a story that author George RR Martin has told in detail in his fictional history of House Targaryen, titled Fire and Blood. Aegon becomes the first ruler of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros when he and his sister-wives, Visenya and Rhaenys Targaryen, decide to conquer the continent with their dragons. The characters are ancestors of the Targaryens featured in House of the Dragon, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and the central Game of Thrones series. Much of Aegon's reign ends up including a bloody war with the independent kingdom of Dorne after he forges the Iron Throne. House of the Dragon added a prophecy of "Aegon's dream" to the Targaryen lore, so this may also feature in the film and tie it to the multiple Game of Thrones series. Meanwhile, we were recently given an explosive look at …

description: "Unlike some of our characters, we know when to leave a party."
encoded: The future of HBO/BBC hit Industry has been confirmed ahead of the season 4 finale. The acclaimed financial drama, produced by Bad Wolf, has been renewed for a fifth and final season with show creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay returning to helm the show's conclusion. In a joint statement, the pair said: "We’re privileged to have joined the small, esteemed club of dramas that have run for five seasons on HBO. This March marks a decade since we first began to conceive of the world of Industry and it exists because of the unwavering faith and vision of our partners and former partners at HBO — Casey, Frannie, Kara, Cela, Sam, Kathleen, and Max. Without Jane Tranter’s imagination and belief, the show would simply be a dead idea in a drawer somewhere. She — alongside her partners at Bad Wolf — has been our guiding light and fiercest champion. We’d also like to thank the BBC for their partnership." Down and Kay continued: "For some time now we have been thinking about how best to end the show on an unparalleled high. Unlike some of our characters, we know when to leave a party. "We’d like to thank our evangelical fan base, especially those who have watched from day one." They concluded: "Finally: we owe everything to our crew and the best cast on TV for making our writing live. The characters will live on because of their world-class performances. Seeing the HBO ident in front of our work will never stop being a thrill. It remains the best place to make television, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration well into the future." The series is fronted by long-standing original cast members Myha'la and the BAFTA winner Marisa Abela, as Harper Stern and Yasmin Kara-Hanani, respectively. The current fourth season also stars Ken Leung, Sagar Radia, Miriam Petche, Toheeb Jimoh, Kiernan Shipka, Kal Penn, Max Minghella, and a career-best Kit Harington. Industry has proven to be something of a platform for emerging acting talent, kickstarting the careers of its leading…

description: Fantastic music is a given in Industry, but what songs feature in season 4?
encoded: With only one episode of Industry season 4 left to go, there's really no knowing just where the series will turn. Knowing the HBO/BBC series by now though, things are only set to get a touch more dark and twisted the closer we career into the finale. For now, we get to enjoy the penultimate episode of the series, which really does see a lot happen for our main cast of characters. The downfall of Tender truly began the other week but this episode sees Whitney (Max Minghella) on a clawing back mission to get his company back on track. However, there seem to be plenty more powers at play in Tender than initially realised, making for some pretty high stakes – especially for Yasmin (Marisa Abela) and Henry (Kit Harington), who have put a pretty big punt on the company. This fourth season of the BBC/HBO drama is officially almost over, with the stakes looking ever higher as the walls start to slowly close in our returning favourite (and semi-problematic) characters. This season has also introduced us to some new faces – but one of the show's main characters is obviously the show's signature synth and electro score (which is composed by Nathan Micay). This fourth season is jam-packed full of '80s anthems, with the soundtrack only continuing to surprise viewers, much like the plot lines and characters. But while there's a lot going on in this season of Industry, fans will know that another focus of the show is the music. What songs are featured in each episode though?

The stellar main cast is once again headed up by Myha'la, Marisa Abela and Ken Leung, with season 3's Kit Harington returning as Sir Henry Muck who is balancing his own personal problems while trying to get to grips with married life to Yasmin. Their relationship in season 4 is "spinning out of control", according to Abela, who also teased: "She is not only a wife, but essentially a caregiver to someone who resents her for needing her care." Yasmin's somewhat love triangle is no more with the departure of Harry Lawtey, who was previously part of the core cast as Robert Spearing. Lawtey exited the series and previously told The Telegraph: "Ultimately I feel like I’m in a place where I’ve said everything I had to say with a character, and I think both me and the writers felt mutually happy with where we left him." But have no fear as there are plenty of new characters set to fill the void, with the likes of Stranger Things star Charlie Heaton, Claire Forlani (Departure) and Kal Penn (Designated Survivor) joining the cast, as well as The Handmaid's Tale star Max Minghella, The Last Showgirl's Kiernan Shipka, and The Serial Killer's Wife's Jack Farthing.

The tragic news of Dane's death comes less than a year after he announced his ALS diagnosis, a type of motor neurone disease. It is understood that Dane did shoot scenes for season 3 of Euphoria and did so in a wheelchair due to his health. At the time, Dane told People: "I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time."

19 changes Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights makes from the book – from missing characters to ending

description: "I AM Heathcliff!" – are you, though?
encoded: In case you missed it, the latest adaptation of Wuthering Heights is stirring up some controversy. The classic novel by Emily Brontë has been adapted for the screen countless times, and now provocative director and writer Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman, Saltburn) has taken on the challenge of bringing her version to the screen. The film, as many will be aware, charts the dramatic love story of Catherine Earnshaw (Margot Robbie) and Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi) as they are raised together on the majestic Yorkshire moors in Victorian England and develop a connection which cannot be denied. Speaking to Fandango, Fennell said: "The thing for me is that you can’t adapt a book as dense and complicated and difficult as this book. I can’t say I’m making Wuthering Heights. It’s not possible." In fact, this has been given as the explanation for the film's title being stylised as "Wuthering Heights" with quotation marks. The backlash from many Brontë purists was swift and unrelenting once marketing started for the film and shows little sign of abating now that the film is released and reviews have been divided. However, just how much of the original novel has Fennell changed when adapting Wuthering Heights for the big screen? **Spoiler warning for Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights and the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë** 19 changes Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights makes from the book 1. The narrative structure of the story The novel employs a non-linear structure where a tenant of Heathcliff’s named Mr Lockwood is told the story of his new landlord and Cathy by Nelly Dean, meaning the story is, for the most part, framed through Nelly’s eyes. This forms the majority of the book before the action switches to the present day and continues to tell the story of a now-middle-aged Heathcliff and the next generation of characters who are totally absent from this version of the story. There is no point-of-view character or narrator, and the film occurs in a linear st…

description: Performing is "still the most special thing".
encoded: There are a few candidates to be the nicest guy in music, but Rick Astley is surely up there. The Lancashire-born singer-songwriter is a quintessential voice of the 1980s, and the immortality of his biggest song Never Gonna Give You Up will forever guarantee him a place in the annals of pop history. Following years of hiatus, Astley returned for the 21st century with a renewed sparkle, killer vocals and still one fantastic head of hair, winning legions of new fans. Whether it's taking Glastonbury by storm or heading out on acclaimed tours and still producing new records, Astley is now a confirmed national sweetheart. Now, Astley has sat down for an emotional instalment of Dermot O'Leary's Reel Stories, looking back at footage of his career, and it left him feeling sentimental. Speaking with Radio Times for the release of Reel Stories and ahead of his much-anticipated 2026 live tour in the UK and Ireland, Astley discussed his career, aspirations for the future, and, of course, what he's watching on TV. So, Rick, you took part in Dermot O'Leary's Reel Stories. Have you managed to see it yet? "I was there on the day! I don't know whether I want to see it again. It was a really enjoyable thing to do, but it was a bit emotional as well. And I think that didn't completely catch me by surprise. Have you seen George Clooney's new movie [Jay Kelly]? Some similarities with that, where someone plonks you down in a cinema and then just goes like, 'These are some of the best bits of your life.' "So it was pretty emotional. I think I'm more emotional about the last few years than I was when I was young, to be honest; when it was all kind of kicking off. Because it's a long time, for one thing, and my memories of it are pretty strong in certain ways, but they're also probably filtered for the good and the bad. So, whereas the most recent stuff is kind of a bit easier to relate to, I'm just getting more emotional as I get older. It's as simple as that." Do you think that's also bec…

EastEnders' Kellie Bright recalls almost being cast as different iconic character in the soap – and screen testing in the Queen Vic for it

description: "This is very good, good research!"
encoded: Kellie Bright has recalled almost winning the part of an iconic EastEnders character long before playing Linda Carter. The actress joined the BBC One soap in 2013 as the future Queen Vic landlady, Linda, and has been a beloved mainstay in the show ever since and at the centre of some of its biggest plotlines. However, long before she became the iconic Linda Carter, Kellie Bright had previously auditioned to play the role of Tanya Branning, the second wife of Max Branning (Jake Wood). The role would ultimately be played by Jo Joyner, who played the character from her arrival in 2006 until her exit as a regular character in 2013. Joyner later reprised the role for guest stints around the 30th anniversary in 2015, and from late 2017 until early 2018 as part of the exit storylines of her on-screen daughters. Now, while speaking to us at The Radio Times Covers Party 2026, Bright was asked about her previous audition to play Tanya. Bright responded: "This is very good, good, good research! I did audition. It actually was between myself and Jo Joyner for that part, and I actually screen tested with Jake in the Vic." A fantastic bit of lore there! Of course, Linda herself has gone on to have an affair with Max and even share a child with him, daughter Annie Carter (now played by Lois Hawkins). Linda has since become one of multiple potential brides for Max in the recent New Year's Day 2026 flash-forward episode, which shows Max set to marry a mystery woman in 2027. So would it be a full circle moment for Kellie Bright to now play Mrs Branning, two decades after auditioning to play one? "I don't know," she stated, continuing, "at the moment, where I'm at with her, I can't imagine it. But who knows what will happen this year?" Given the wedding is on New Year's Day – Linda's wedding anniversary to late soulmate Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) – that would certainly be a choice for Linda – and one Bright can't currently see happening. Yet, stranger things have happened on Albert Squa…

description: "They're always at each other, aren't they?"
encoded: Michelle Collins has teased what lies ahead for Cindy Beale in the coming months on EastEnders. The actress made her explosive comeback to the BBC One soap in 2023, over two decades after her character died off-screen – now revealed to have been faked as Cindy went into witness protection under a new identity. With her return being a key centrepoint of executive producer Chris Clenshaw's acclaimed era on the soap, Cindy Beale had no shortage of big storylines, including her affair with her former step-son Junior Knight (Micah Balfour), which was exposed on Christmas Day 2024. Cindy was then the victim in a big whodunnit storyline, which ultimately saw her former mother-in-law and nemesis, Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), revealed as her attacker. Since then, Cindy has been focused on business, having bought The Albert, and also on grandchildren. However, a new development has occurred in the form of a new enemy (and lover): Max Branning, played by Jake Wood. While attending The Radio Times Covers Party 2026, we asked Michelle to describe the coming months of Cindy in three words. View Green Video on the source website Thinking carefully, Collins answered: "Exciting. Unpredictable. Irrational." Sounds like we can expect more extreme scenes from the resident schemer. However, does this mean more clashing on the way with old sparring partner, Kathy? "Actually, we did do a fun scene the other day," teased Michelle. "They're always at each other, aren't they? All those kinds of, you know, mother-in-law, you know, and, and she kind of hates Cindy, and Cindy kind of hates her as well. So I think we just live with that, really, don't we? "And, yeah, they always throw a slap in there occasionally, don't they? I think everyone loved it when I came back, and the first scene was, 'You're dead!' and then there was a kind of slap. They do love a slap in EastEnders, don't they?" Additionally, while Michelle was disappointed to not be in the live episode of the 40th anniversary, sh…

encoded: Actress Balvinder Sopal has revealed her delight that her EastEnders character Suki Panesar-Unwin is seeing her dark side re-emerge. Initially arriving as a full-blown villain in 2020, Sopal's Suki has been on quite the journey since, with the character's layers peeled away as she has embraced her authentic self, found love with her now-wife Eve Panesar-Unwin (Heather Peace), and escaped the clutches of her evil ex-husband, the late Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry). However, the BBC One soap has seen her old scheming and toxic ways re-emerge after a rather uncomfortable attempt by Suki to get a child from her pregnant teenage step-granddaughter, Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James), last year, and now her past bad behaviour towards employee Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) is also being revisited in a storyline with new employee Bea Pollard (Ronni Ancona). Are we losing the redemptive aspects of Suki, or is this who she has always been? Speaking at The Radio Times Covers Party 2026, when asked about the re-emergence of Suki's darker side, Balvinder says she's only pleased we're seeing shades of Suki's nastier self. View Green Video on the source website "Oh, I love a Dark Suki," revealed Balvinder. "I mean, that's one of the reasons I took the role on, you know, because you don't ever see that... Asian women tend to be meek and mild and compliant and all of that kind of stuff. "So no, it's really brilliant to go back there, but I think what's really interesting is that you can't ignore the journey she's been on with Eve and coming out and knowing who her true self is." Balvinder also compared Suki's journey to that of Walford icon Phil Mitchell (played by Steve McFadden), who has undergone significant character development in recent years. She continued: "And I think it's a little bit like Phil, you know, with his mental health man storyline, like... he would still pull out a baseball bat if he needed to, but he's had an evolution of sorts, and I think that's what's happened …

The BBC One soap opera reintroduced the youngest son of Max Branning (Jake Wood) last year, and Counihan-Moullier's performance has already made him a firm favourite. Now it seems a fan theory following the 2027 flash-forward episode on New Year's Day may be about to come true as Oscar is now tipped to be caught between two offspring of the Trueman clan, so much so that Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) will consider him part of the family by next year. According to The Sun, while Oscar is currently romantically linked with killer Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness), he is also set to develop a romantic relationship with her twin brother and Zoe's other long-lost child. The paper reports that newcomer Joshua Vaughan has been cast as Jasmine's twin brother and will arrive in the coming months. A source told the publication, "This is going to be one of the hottest love triangles the soap world has ever seen. "Oscar is happy with Jasmine, but when her twin arrives, the chemistry between them is something neither can ignore. "It’s going to set temperatures soaring in Walford. But with Jasmine having bumped off her dad, Anthony Truman, at Christmas, the pair had better watch out." The BBC declined to comment when approached by Radio Times about this report.

The ITV soap introduced Jodie during the epic Corriedale crossover event with Emmerdale in January, and she was later revealed to be the estranged half-sister of cobbles favourite Shona Platt (Julia Goulding). However, Jodie has so far shown herself to be deceptive, manipulative, and full of resentment towards her sister – and that's not to mention hooking up with resident badboy Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard). Now, speaking in her first press interview since joining the ITV soap while in attendance with partner James Nelson Joyce at The Radio Times Covers Party 2026, actress Olivia Frances Brown spoke about the layers to the mysterious Jodie. Describing her character, Frances Brown said of Jodie: "She's a mixed bag. She's definitely not a one-dimensional character. She's a multi-multi-dimensional character. She's troubled, she's very hurt. I think deep inside she's quite a lot going on. She feels quite wronged. "Now that she's found Shona, she's come to kind of get her own back, in a way, but I don't think she even knows that. I think she just wants to come and see what she can get from the cobbles." View Green Video on the source website The character certainly arrived in style when she first appeared bound and gagged in the back of a van driven by Emmerdale returnee Graham Foster in the explosive ITV soap crossover event Corriedale. However, since escaping Graham’s grasp, we have yet to find out why Jodie was in his van in the first place. When asked if viewers will find out soon, a cryptic Frances Brown commented: "Eventually, you will, can't give away too much right now, but it will all become clear in time. "I can't say how long, how much time, but eventually, if you keep watching, you'll find out why." Away from Jodie's dark stories, however, it's only been positive for Frances Brown's time in Weatherfield. When asked what it's like to se…

Linda ultimately chose to reconcile with Mick and rejected Max, leading to his exit from Walford in 2021.

The BBC One soap has positioned Cindy as one of multiple potential brides for Max in the recent New Year's Day 2026 flash-forward episode set in 2027. This followed the pair having a passionate encounter as strangers on Christmas Day 2025, before their fling was explosively revealed during their shared grandson Jimmy Beale's christening. Cindy detests Max following his actions towards her children, with Max having slept with her daughter Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater) and also being responsible for the death of her eldest son, Steven Beale (Aaron Sidwell). However, the pair recently found themselves as allies against their shared enemy, the scheming killer Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness).

I think they're interesting together because I think Cindy needs somebody kind of like him, rather than, possibly, someone, a bit more like Ian." Despite this, Collins didn't give their potential future romance much of a long life expectancy.

However, now heading down a much more ethical (and legal) route, it seems a rollercoaster lies ahead for the pairing known as 'Sukeve'. Speaking at The Radio Times Covers Party 2026, Balvinder was asked about the storyline and working with co-star Heather Peace for so long now. Balvinder said, "I mean, look, Heather and I have a brilliant relationship. We've worked together for, I think, three years now, three and a bit years. And each time, you know, we come on set, I think we find little moments that deepen the relationship between Suki and Eve, and that's really important, because I think sometimes relationships can get a bit boring or a bit samey, samey. So, we're trying to find the light and shade between the two of them, and what better way to do that than to throw in an adoption story? (laughs)." On what fans can expect from the coming months, Sopal added: "That's going to be a nice long arc, and we're going to delve quite deep, hopefully, into both of their backgrounds and lives, and just see the effects of what it means and what it takes to actually go ahead and adopt. We want to be as truthful as we possibly can. It's not easy. We know that. The team at EastEnders have done their background research, so you're in for a treat." Given we know very little about Suki's own family life growing up, could this be an opportunity to discover more about her upbringing?

description: We feel a reunion on the cards for the Moon clan.
encoded: We have another return on the way in EastEnders as an old face is coming back to Walford. Joel Beckett has been confirmed to be reprising his role as Jake Moon in February 2026, as the character returns seeking answers about his former lover, Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman). Beckett's short stint will see Jake wanting to find out what really happened on Christmas Day, when Chrissie returned to seek revenge on Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) by tormenting her with Zoe's long-lost biological daughter, Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness). Chrissie has not been traceable since. On the same night, Zoe had a physical altercation with Jasmine's furious biological father, Dr Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey), and was subsequently arrested for murder when Anthony was found dead from two wounds to the head. While speculation fell on Chrissie for being responsible, viewers have since learned that Jasmine killed Anthony in self-defence after he began attacking her, after he was initially knocked unconscious by Zoe. When Jake wants to know the truth about Christmas Day, he soon encounters some rather different versions of events. Will Jake uncover the truth? And will he be reunited with his cousin Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) after two decades apart? Speaking about his EastEnders return, Joel Beckett said: "It was really lovely to step back onto the Square after all this time and revisit Jake. Being back working alongside familiar faces, as well as some brilliant new ones, was a real joy, and it was good to know that Jake had been out there, alive and well. "He returns carrying plenty of unanswered questions, and the storyline takes him in some unexpected directions with real twists and turns. I’m excited for people to see what he’s been up to." Meanwhile, executive producer Ben Wadey added: "I’m delighted to welcome Joel Beckett back to the role of Jake Moon and EastEnders for this storyline. Jake’s return will be a shock for many, but the biggest shocks of all will surroun…

description: Spoiler warning for Monday 19th January 2026.
encoded: **Warning: Contains major spoilers for the Monday 19th January 2026 episode of EastEnders, available now on BBC iPlayer.** EastEnders aired an emotional reunion for Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) and Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) on Monday but Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) may be about to make the situation worse. The BBC One soap opera revealed at the end of last week that Jasmine was the person who killed her father, Dr Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey), on Christmas Day 2025 in an act of self-defence. However, Jasmine shows little remorse for killing Anthony and is also willing to let Zoe go down for a crime she didn't commit. In Monday's episode, Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) returned after weeks away, looking for Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman) in Greece, after Jasmine helped convince Kat that Chrissie was responsible for Anthony's death to frame Zoe as she did with Sam Michell over Den Watts (Leslie Grantham) back in 2005. Kat revealed that hunting for Chrissie was a dead end and planned to visit Zoe, who viewers hadn't seen since earlier this month, after she was held on remand for murder. Pushing her granddaughter to visit Zoe with her, Kat's suspicions of Jasmine have continued to grow, and Kat even voiced her discomfort about how Jasmine had joined Chrissie in tormenting Zoe for months and also why Jasmine won't speak to the police about Chrissie. Jasmine maintained that she feared reprisals from Chrissie, but Kat didn't seem to care for this, arguing she could handle Chrissie. When the two were emotionally reunited with Zoe, Kat pushed Zoe to fight her case and also to use Jasmine against Chrissie. However, Zoe remained adamant that she did not wish to implicate Jasmine in any crimes, including the arson attack, which she did commit. Zoe revealed that after advice from lawyer Richie Scott (Sian Webber), she was going to plead guilty to manslaughter in the hope of a reduced sentence. Kat was furious and remained off with Jasmine, too. Back at the Que…

description: "We can't wait to dive deeper and deliver the best season yet in season 4."
encoded: It's been a long time coming, but Industry season 4 is finally here – complete with a cast of both returning and new characters. Things take a step away from Pierpoint this season, with storylines and themes opening up wider than ever before as the world outside of finance continues to impact the main players of the industry. As well as returning stars and friends Harper (Myha'la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela), we also see the return of Sir Henry (Kit Harington) but things don't seem to be in a good place for married couple Yasmin and Henry. Abela teased: “Yasmin is married to Henry Muck and their relationship is spinning out of control. She is not only a wife, but essentially a caregiver to someone who resents her for needing her care." This week's episode sees a particular focus on their dynamic, with Henry's birthday on the horizon and Yasmin planning a big party to put him front and centre. Will it go to plan? New cast members this season include Stranger Things star Charlie Heaton, Claire Forlani (Departure) and Kal Penn (Designated Survivor), as well as The Handmaid's Tale star Max Minghella, The Last Showgirl's Kiernan Shipka, and The Serial Killer's Wife's Jack Farthing, Toheeb Jimoh (Ted Lasso) and Amy James-Kelly (Coronation Street). One particular character who remains an enigma is Minghella's Whitney Halberstram, CFO of Tender who usurped his colleague and friend to become CEO in the premiere episode. Teasing more of the "monster" to come, series co-creator Mickey Down told The Hollywood Reporter: "As in every good horror film, if you show too much of the monster it feels less scary. It’s way more interesting to drip feed the monster and his motivations." He added: "Whitney pushes up against the rigid class hierarchy. He’s also constantly holding back his true opinions about some of the people he interacts with, like Henry [Kit Harrington], who was born into every kind of entitlement and is allowed to fail continuously." The new fourth season has already spa…
