encoded: Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) has been dealt an almighty shock amid her scheming in EastEnders. Earlier this week, the matriarch clocked that Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) was feeling somewhat uneasy about her pregnancy, with her revealing that a recent scan "wasn't what she expected". As we viewers know, the sonographer noted that she was further on than initially thought, which solidified to Penny that boyfriend Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota) wasn't the baby daddy. She was forced to confront the fact that her best mate Gina Knight's (Francesca Henry) boyfriend Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) was the actual father. They'd slept together in the days prior to his rehab admittance, and now she faced the dilemma of telling them both the truth. Cousin Oscar (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) reckoned that she should stay quiet - perhaps not the best advice - as Vinny was committed to providing the child with the best upbringing and had even paid the deposit on a shop unit in Turpin Road for her. When Nicola twigged an uncomfortable altercation between a conflicted Penny and Vinny's mum Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal), she pulled her into Harry's Barn and hoped she'd open up. While Penny didn't explicitly tell her what was going on, a later conversation with Harry confirmed Nicola's worst fears. He told his mum about their brief night of passion, seemingly oblivious to the fact he could have fathered the baby. Facing the prospect of being both a new mother and a grandmother simultaneously, Nicola ordered Penny to undergo DNA testing.

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…

encoded: In another major ITV scheduling shake-up tonight (Tuesday 31 March), episodes of Coronation Street and Emmerdale have been postponed. Both shows usually air every weeknight for 30 minutes, with Emmerdale typically airing at 8pm and Corrie following at 8.30pm. However, neither show will air in their usual slots on Tuesday night to make way for ITV coverage of England’s friendly against Japan at Wembley, which is set to begin at 7pm and run until 10.05pm. Instead, the episodes have been postponed until Sunday, with Emmerdale set to air at 7pm on ITV that day, followed by Corrie at 7.30pm. Fans will be pleased to hear that Wednesday's episodes of both soaps are scheduled as normal. However, there are more scheduling shake-ups on the horizon later this week, with both soaps set to air half an hour earlier than usual on Thursday. Emmerdale will air at 7.30pm on Thursday, and Corrie at 8pm, making way for a repeat of Vera at 8.30pm until 10.25 on the channel. And there will be another repeat of the popular crime drama at the same time on ITV on Friday, meaning that Corrie and Emmerdale will once again air in those earlier time slots.

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…

description: A sad day for Corrie fans.
encoded: Olivia Bromley has reportedly been axed from Emmerdale, after playing Dawn Taylor for eight years. The long-standing character was introduced in 2018 and has been at the heart of some of the ITV soap's biggest storylines. But according to The Sun, producers have decided to part ways with the actress and the character entirely. A source told the publication: "Olivia is adored by everyone at Emmerdale so the decision to axe her has not gone down well at all. "She's a popular member of the cast and if they can get rid of Olivia, then the feeling is virtually no-one is safe." The source added that Bromley was understanding of the decision that's been made and is preparing to film her exit in a couple of months. ITV declined to comment when approached by Radio Times. During her time on Emmerdale, Dawn found her way out of drug addiction and prostitution, managed to escape a gang, killed DI Malone and even engaged in a cover-up with Harriet Finch. She then had an affair with her step-brother, Jamie Tate, before entering into a relationship that she's currently in with Joe Tate. Fans will have to stay tuned to find out what Dawn's final months on screen have in store for her.

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. There, they bumped into Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) who had arrived to check all was well with her own baby.

Vinny arrived at that very moment, so Penny stifled her shock, and it wasn't long before the couple were revealing their scan photo to their loved ones in The Queen Vic. Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal) playfully bickered over which family the baby would take after, leaving Penny overwhelmed. Meanwhile, Vinny, whose meeting with the dodgy investor had been stopped in its tracks by a concerned Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy), told Penny he would be doing everything with honesty for their future. 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? Coronation Street has been working with Galop on the portrayal of abuse within an LGBTQ+ relationship, and with Stonewall on the depiction of trauma as a result of conversion therapy.

encoded: The walls are finally closing in on evil Theo Silverton (played by James Cartwright) on Coronation Street. On Thursday's episode, George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) overheard Theo shouting at new husband, Todd (Gareth Pierce) just one day after their surprise wedding. In Sunday's episode, George started to consider the weight of what he'd heard and spoke with some trusted friends and family including Summer (Harriet Bibby), Glenda (Jodie Prenger), Sarah (Tina O'Brien) and Christina (Amy Robbins). They all agreed that there was definitely a disturbing element within their relationship as they shared their own accounts of what they'd seen since the couple had been together. When Todd arrives and George tentatively asks him if what they suspect is true, Todd leaps to Theo's defence - not that George believes any of it. Later on, Sarah confided in Gary (Mikey North) about everything she'd heard and though he wasn't sure at first, he started to realise the evidence was mounting up and perhaps Theo was what they suspected.

Gary spotted Todd heading back to the flat, visibly bracing for another round of hell when Gary offered to come in with him for a cup of tea. In the flat, Theo, clearly unaware of his guest, started to shout abuse, and quickly reeled it in when he saw Gary - who was categorically not impressed. In a tense showdown, Gary let Theo know he was on to him, as were Todd's friends which left Theo visibly rattled.

description: Warning: contains spoilers for Emmerdale's episode, airing Sunday 29 March on ITV and ITVX.
encoded: Tensions are almost always simmering between the Dingles and the Tates on Emmerdale, but during Sunday 29 March's episode, the feud hit boiling point. At the heart of events was of course, Joe Tate (played by Ned Porteous), who seemed to be revelling in securing Butlers Farm and got the workmen in to demolish anything he didn't like - including Holly Barton's (Sophie Powles) memorial. Kim (Claire King) had previously made a promise to Moira (Natalie J Robb) that she wouldn't do anything to the special site and would leave it untouched. Joe, however, didn't show the same respect to Moira and the dreadful sight was found by Matty (Ash Palmisciano) who reported it to the Dingle family immediately. With Moira in prison currently for crimes she didn't even commit and Cain going through cancer treatment, the timing (while it would never be ideal), couldn't be worse. The Dingles stormed round to confront Kim and Graham (Andrew Scarborough) about the scene and while Joe didn't confess what he'd done, Graham knew immediately who it was. There's one thing about the Dingles - no one should ever underestimate them, especially when they're fighting for justice for one of their own. Watch out, Joe, if they ever find out it was him...

description: ITV is making it up to fans later in the week.
encoded: In a major ITV scheduling shake-up tonight, both Coronation Street and Emmerdale have had episodes pulled from their usual slots. Both soaps usually air every weeknight for 30 minutes each between 8pm and 9pm. However fans have had Friday's instalment stripped away due to ITV1 airing sports coverage instead. Neither Coronation Street and Emmerdale will air at all on Friday to instead make room for the England v Uruguay international friendly football game taking place at Wembley Stadium. ITV1's coverage will begin at 7pm, ready for a 7:45pm kick-off time, on Friday 27 March, meaning Coronation Street and Emmerdale will not air in their usual time slots. However, to make up for the loss, ITV has scheduled an additional episode of both soaps to air on Sunday instead, so fans will still get five instalments of their favourite show this week, just not at the usual time. On Sunday 29 March, Emmerdale will air at the earlier time of 7pm, followed by Coronation Street at 7.30pm, both on ITV1. The additional episodes come just in time for the continuation of the storyline surrounding creepy stalker Mal Roper (Tim Treloar) in Coronation Street. In an ITVX early release this week, Mal had a "sudden flashback", seemingly remembering who it was that attacked him – but the issue is that he hasn't reported the right man. Meanwhile, over on Emmerdale, Kim Tate (Claire King) was forced to defend her decision to bestow manor house Home Farm to Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) upon her death. While the rest of her multi-million-pound empire will be distributed between her grandchildren – including Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) – he wasn't pleased to learn that his home would be taken from beneath him.

encoded: Abusive partner Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) has finally been caught out in Coronation Street after he was heard by George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) shouting abuse at his now husband Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce). Wednesday's episode saw the pair get married in a surprise wedding after a blindfolded Todd was led to the registry office by Theo. They were announced a wedded couple following Todd reciting his vows in an almost trance-like state. Now, Theo's true self has been seen by George after he went to their flat to find answers about the shock ceremony. Theo returns home and assumes Todd is in the bathroom so begins to hurl abuse at him, remarking on his appearance. However, unbeknown to Theo, it is not Todd he is shouting at, but actually George. George emerges from the bathroom to a visibly shaken Theo as Todd returns home, having popped out to the shops. "It's funny, isn't it?" George comments. "You can go to bed with Dr Jekyll, but wake up with Mr Hyde." George then later recalls what happened at the flat to Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby), saying: "That wasn't a wedding. That was a kidnapping. "Who did Todd have for his big day? Gary and Maria. He would have wanted us there, me and you," commenting on their lack of invite to the ceremony. Naturally concerned, Summer questions George on whether he thinks Theo would ever be capable of being violent towards Todd. "I'm afraid I do. If he hasn't already," George responds. "Cast your mind back, the last five, six months. Todd's been all over the shop. We're the only family he's got. We need to get him away from that monster." George and Summer then conspire on how they can help Todd and George sends him a supportive message offering him a place to stay. Unfortunately, Todd sees the text but decides to ignore it and carry on as normal, demonstrating how indoctrinated by Theo he has become. But hopefully will George and Summer now aware of Theo's true personality, the abuse will be unable to carry on much lo…

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.

The issue is that he hasn't reported the right man, and is now hoping that his latest move will give him a chance to make a move on Bernie Winter-Alahan (Jane Hazlegrove). The two met one another at the Chariot Square Hotel, both drowning their sorrows at the bar before retiring to his bedroom. Bernie ordered drugs, and he tried to make a move on her. She immediately pulled away, asserting that she was committed to husband Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin), and left the room. After continuing the party into the night, she was found passed out in a nightclub toilet. Mal then showed up at Roy's Rolls, having been employed as an electrician to fix some dodgy wiring in the flat above. Bernie was horrified to discover he'd be working alongside her, and made it clear that he should keep his distance. After he bared his soul to her, saying he hadn't forgotten their 'kiss', she warned him to leave or she'd kill him. In true soapy style, he was attacked just hours later. Bernie was arrested, but she protested her innocence. Viewers later discovered that her son, Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), was responsible. His worst fears were realised last week when a witness stepped forward and recognised him as the culprit.

Daughter Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) could spend the rest of her life behind bars for murdering her father Anthony Trueman. As we viewers know, she actually acted in self-defence, though the tell-all footage of him lunging towards her has yet to be located. Ahead of a prison visit, Zoe unknowingly bumped into son Josh Goodwin (Joshua Vaughan) on Bridge Street. He was rushing off to smarten himself up after spending the night in Oscar Branning's (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) arms, unaware that adoptive mum Sandra (Dawn Steele) was concerned about his wellbeing. As she expressed her concerns to Denise (Diane Parish) and Kim Fox (Tameka Empson), Josh strolled up to them and made a quick excuse about his whereabouts. Zoe then approached the group, and quickly realised who Josh was. She didn't want to cause a public scene or have an argument, but expressed her desire to get to know him. Josh said that he wasn't resentful of her decision to give him up, as he'd had a happy upbringing with Sandra and the years he had with his father and sister were equally as joyous. He now just wanted to know what had forced Jasmine to kill their birth dad. In The Queen Vic, Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) was elated to finally see her grandson.

What begins as a well-intentioned dinner served up by Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) - designed to ease the simmering hostility between the Dingles and the Tates - quickly turns sinister, and Kim Tate (Claire King) falls to the floor choking. Fingers are pointed as it's suspected she's ate some dodgy mushrooms! Meanwhile, Tracy Robinson (Amy Walsh) has one request before her exit, Jacob Sugden (Joe-Warren Plant) makes an alarming discovery at work, and there's another special two-hander episode between some iconic Dingles.

Kim Tate is poisoned amid her family's war with the Dingles If things between the Dingles and the Tates couldn't get any worse, Joe sends shockwaves through the village when he orders workmen to bulldoze one of Butlers Farm’s old fields - including the late Holly Barton's memorial. Meanwhile, Kim steels herself for a bold move, heading to Wishing Well Cottage despite Graham’s reservations. Lydia is determined to make a meal that will build bridges, though just as things start to thaw, Kim suddenly chokes and collapses. Panic erupts as Cain and Liam rush her unconscious body to hospital, while back at the house, suspicion spreads like wild fungi.

With tensions at boiling point, the suspects convene in The Woolie back room, and it doesn’t take long for Cain and Caleb to clash. When Graham confirms the mushroom theory, suspicion turns sharply to Sam.

encoded: BBC has confirmed that its Saturday night schedule will undergo a shake up, with long-running fan favourite series Casualty set to take a break. The medical drama series is being taken off air for two weeks to make room in the schedule for a brand new show. Casualty is currently airing a mini-series called Learning Curve, which only has two episodes left, but fans will have to wait until Saturday 11 April at 8:30pm to find out what happens next. Instead, Big Night of Musicals 2026 by the National Lottery will be airing in the Casualty's usual slot on BBC One. The programme is a celebration of West End shows like Wicked, Les Miserables, Matilda and Phantom of the Opera, and will be hosted by Jason Manford. The 44-year-old comedian has already done a lot of presenting for the BBC including A Question of Sport, The One Show and Children in Need. Manford himself has also starred in musicals in the West End and across the UK such as Sweeney Todd, The Producers, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Guys and Dolls, Curtains and The Wizard of Oz. Casualty went off air last year in September and took a five month hiatus before returning January 1o this year. It was announced in December that BBC Studios had once again won the contract to produce Casualty after a competitive process was launched last May where other companies could bid for the contract to produce the show. Having first aired in 1986, Casualty is the longest running primetime medical drama in the world. The show formerly had a spin-off series Holby City which ran for over 20 years from 1999 until its cancellation in 2022. Casualty will return to BBC One on Saturday 11 April at 8:30pm.

The soap legend has been forced to defend her decision to bestow manor house Home Farm to Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) upon her death. While the rest of her multi-million pound empire will be distributed between her grandchildren – including Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) – he's wasn't pleased to learn that his home would be taken from beneath him. Kim changed her will a number of months ago, following a near-death experience that left her reevaluating her outlook on life. Although the Tates have crossed the Dingles multiple times, she wanted to give Lydia and husband Sam (James Hooten) a slice of her wealth that would forever change their fortunes. The information only reached Joe when a scorned Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) went digging in Kim's office, and came across a copy of the legally binding document. Graham was annoyed that he'd spent the night in Kim's bed, missing out on a potential opportunity to reunite with Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry). He was also dismayed to learn that Kim had no intentions of pursuing anything serious beyond their brief passion. Now seemingly aware that Graham is working with Joe to try and change her mind about Lydia's inheritance, Kim has decided to ruffle some feathers and introduce a new face into the already complicated family dynamic. While having a drink in The Woolpack, Ross Barton (Michael Parr) reminded her that he was once her 'Director of Operations' at Home Farm, and that he'd be more than happy to take on the position again. After securing their deal, Ross headed up to the manor house and announced his career move.

encoded: After finally escaping the clutches of his abusive boyfriend Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) in Coronation Street, Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) has been placed in yet another impossible situation. Theo walked out on him earlier in the month, saying that they were wrong for each other and should've separated a lot sooner. Todd was completely blinded by his love for him, and broke down in tears as he exited their flat. It came after Theo forced Todd to pay for his birthday meal - despite knowing he was penniless, and that it would put him in an uncomfortable position when it came to settling the bill. He was also vocal about how much he hated the gift he'd been bought. The other locals have tried to force Todd back into the dating scene, with Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger) fixing up a meeting with one of her old mates. Although he had no intention of moving on so quickly, it would give him opportunity to let his hair down for the night. Theo was furious to see him enjoying himself, and the next day, he slipped drugs into his drink before turning his phone onto flight mode. The intention was to make him drowsy and forget to wake up for the marathon that he was running in memory of Billy Mayhew and Paul Foreman. In today's episode, Theo relished in the fact that his plan had worked, and told their friends that he must have already made it to the starting point. However, upon their return, the group saw a dishevelled Todd sneaking into the corner shop. Theo followed after him, gloating that he managed to bag himself a medal, before promising to make up a lie that would save him the embarrassment.

encoded: Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) has longed to meet her son in EastEnders, and now that the opportunity is finally upon her, she has been somewhat cruelly knocked back. The long-lost child of Zoe and Anthony Trueman - Josh Goodwin (Joshua Vaughan) - strolled into Walford last week, hot on the heels of adoptive mum Sandra (Dawn Steele). She was trying to find some answers concerning his twin sister Jasmine Fisher's (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) forthcoming murder trial. Denise (Diane Parish) and Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) were deeply suspicious, initially believing her to be a journalist. However, they were warmed to discover her true identity, and urged Josh to meet with his paternal grandfather Patrick (Rudolph Walker) - and that moment has finally arrived. A nervous Patrick was handed some words of wisdom from wife Yolande (Angela Wynter) ahead of the meeting, as he continued to try and combat his grief for Anthony. He feared that Josh would remind him too much of his son, and that it would prove too much of an emotional experience. When Josh and Sandra arrived, the tension could be cut with a knife. Despite Yolande, Denise and Kim's interventions, it was painfully awkward. Nobody could quite find the words to address the situation, and an upset Patrick rushed off alone to the kitchen. Josh followed, hoping to make a breakthrough and form a relationship. Little did they realise, a drama was unfolding across the Square. Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) had overheard Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) shouting off about Patrick and Josh during a conversation with Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd), and reported back to the Slater family. His mum Kat (Jessie Wallace) initially wanted to head over herself, though Zoe knew that only she could make that move.

description: Can Will Driscoll come to see just how evil Megan really is?
encoded: The fallout from Megan Walsh's arrest continues on Coronation Street this week. The ITV soap has seen the abusive Megan (played by Beth Nixon) finally caught out and arrested, thanks to a brave Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) and encouragement from his step-mother Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) and her sisters Toyah Habeeb (Georgia Taylor) and Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley). However, Megan's victim, Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale), remains in love with her and can't see past her manipulations, even as his family try to convince him otherwise. In Monday's episode (23 March 2026), Will's dad, Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker), calls a family meeting to discuss Megan's pregnancy and her refusal to do a DNA test, as it would prove her abuse of Will. However, the meeting grows chaotic as Will continues to defend Megan, even to his furious grandmother, Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McGlynn). As the week continues, Ben tries to get Will to see a counsellor and, hopefully, open up about his experience with Megan. The dire lack of evidence against Megan grows worse as Ben and his partner Eva are horrified to learn that the police have found no evidence on Megan and Will's phones that suggests abuse. Will's week grows more troubled as he insists on returning to school but becomes a laughing stock over the stories about him and Megan. As Ben struggles emotionally and feels he has let Will down, pals Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) prove to be some steadfast support for the troubled pub landlord. Of course, we know already that Steve is actually Ben's half-brother, but that's a secret yet to be exposed...

Coronation Street fan favourite to face fire horror in shocking storyline next month

description: The dramatic storyline puts one of Corrie's finest in serious danger.
encoded: Beloved Roy Cropper (David Neilson) could lose both his home and his livelihood in Coronation Street, as flames tear through the iconic Roy's Rolls cafe. Radio Times understands that the upcoming storyline, which will air in April, will see the fan-favourite fall victim to a horrific arson attack. The greasy spoon, then called Jim's Cafe, was acquired by Roy in 1997 after one of the owners, Alma Baldwin (Amanda Barrie) sold up to support her husband Mike (Johnny Briggs). With new business partner Gail Platt (Helen Worth), he soon put his own stamp on the place – his first move being to rename the eatery. After transferring to a different property a year later, he covered the walls in his railway memorabilia and it effectively became an extension of his adjoining flat. Losing everything, and the precious memories of his late wife Hayley (Julie Hesmondhalgh), would completely and utterly break him. There'll also be concern for his own health following the fire, as smoke begins to flood out of the windows, and the locals realise that he's trapped inside. Roy is hospitalised, but will he live to serve up another bacon sarnie? eBay charity initiative ITV Reloved recently flogged the room divider from the front of the cafe, meaning that a makeover could be on the cards for one of the soap's longest-serving sets. As one of the serial drama's most legendary characters, it's safe to say that Roy's neighbours won't take the matter lightly, as the finger begins to be pointed towards who might be responsible.

In next week's episodes, it becomes clear that Bernie Winter-Alahan's (Jane Hazlegrove) – who has worked for Roy for a number of years – is unable to escape her stalker, Mal Roper (Tim Treloar). He's spent weeks in a coma after b…
