The high drama continues in soapland next week, as confirmed in my new spoilers, with a number of big deaths on the cards all across the genre.
EastEnders legend Yolande Trueman is left reeling when she learns that Pastor Clayton has taken his own life while Coronation Street sees something similar transpire, with Joel Deering thought to have taken his own life too.
Elsewhere on the cobbles, Paul Foreman’s funeral is conducted by Billy Mayhew so expect emotion aplenty.
Over in Emmerdale, a death shock leaves Moira Dingle reeling in what proves to be a big week for the ITV soap icon.
Hollyoaks, meanwhile, sees Ethan Williams and Sienna Blake on cloud nine as they prepare for their long-awaited wedding day and Neighbours’ Susan Kennedy is on hand to offer support to Holly Hoyland following the siege.
it’s set to be quite a week for TV’s most enduring genre and, if you simply cannot wait until Monday (September 30) to find out what’s in store then you’ll be pleased to know you don’t have to, as I’ve got a first look at all the spoilers for all the soaps below.
You’re welcome.
EastEnders
1. Yolande is taken aback when the police inform her that another woman has come forward in the case against Pastor Clayton. Clayton himself soon barges in, asking Yolande to change her statement but – realising she won’t be intimidated – he quickly leaves. Yolande later receives word that Clayton has taken his own life.
2. Bianca continues with her quest to expose Reiss, determine to save her sister from prison, and she’s left speechless upon learning the contents of Debbie’s will. Determined to get answers, she asks Hugh and Brenda about Reiss’ marriage with their daughter and, later, she hides a microphone in a bid to record a confession from the killer.
3. Freddie and Anna return to The Vic after an afternoon of bird watching where they are greeted by the disapproving glare of Ian, who is very vocal in voicing his thoughts, forcing Cindy to leave.
4. Tommy attempts to play the nice guy in front of Kat and Alfie but it’s clear that not everything is as it seems.
5. George attempts to bond with Kojo, showing him how things are run from behind the bar. This seemingly pays off, with the ice starting to thaw between the two.
6.Junior is keen to spend more time with Cindy, with the pair heading to a hotel for another afternoon together.
Coronation Street
7. Having received a voicemail from Joel, Dee-Dee plays it aloud to DS Swain, who believes it to be a suicide note. Using the abuser’s phone signal, Kit is able to pinpoint his last-known whereabouts, locating his car parked on a bridge – and a folded note on the dashboard. Back on the Street, Swain is forced to break the news that they are now looking for a body.
8. Fiz experiences a spell of dizziness at work, which scuppers a romantic dinner that Tyrone had planned in order to make up for her birthday being ruined by Hope. Determined to get to the bottom of what’s wrong, Fiz books a doctor’s appointment.
9. Paul’s funeral takes place on what would’ve been his and Billy’s first wedding anniversary. Billy is horrified at the church to find a drunk Denny, ordering him to behave and stay out of sight. Todd, Summer, Kit, David, Chesney and Dee-Dee carry the coffin while Billy conducts the service. Afterwards, a rave gets underway on the Street in Paul’s memory – and Bernie reveals her out of this world resting place for her son’s ashes.
10. Adam comes across a voicemail from Damon as he checks Sarah’s for her while she’s in Turkey. But just what will he do with it?
11. Sarah demands that the Turkish hospital pay for Bethany’s medical bills. Audrey reckons they should spread the word online about what the company is like. Gail, meanwhile, suggests selling the house to raise money but David points out that they’d be homeless. Daniel contemplates using Bertie’s trust fund.
12. Ryan calls at the factory with an official looking letter for Carla, who – upon reading it – loses all expression. Ryan confides in Lisa that Carla is stressed about her plea hearing but Lisa wonders if there is more to it than that. The question is: what is it that has upset Carla?
Emmerdale
13. Moira’s behaviour sparks concern with Matty, who decides to move in at Butlers. Mack is stressed when the sheep escape, with Moira promising not to go out alone, but things escalate when they notice that a number of the sheep aren’t moving. In fact, most of them are dead. Moira struggles to remember what happened.
14. Aaron is questioned by PC Swirling over some stolen smart watches, with his car having been caught leaving the scene of the crime. Aaron feigns innocence as John interrupts. Aaron keeps him in the dark while Mack suggests using the newcomer’s van to get rid of the smart-watches. But after loading the watches in, the pair come to realise that the stolen items are all missing!
15. Laurel and Charles aren’t quite sure what to do about their fling and, after Nicola offers her some advice, Laurel decides to call time – which Charles agrees with. But as they give into temptation one last time, they’re caught by Arthur!
16. Arthur attempts to show his maturity by flirting with John. He lies to April, claiming he had sex with the newcomer, but Laurel overhears and wastes little time in confronting John, who is mortified, denying the allegations.
17. Chas is concerned about a new rash, with Liam checking her over. Afterwards, he lies to Ella about spending time with Chas, sharing a charged look with the landlady.
Hollyoaks

20. Tony makes plans without Diane to meet Maxine. Diane is crushed, sharing her upset with Nancy, who comes to her aid. Tony, meanwhile, takes off his wedding ring and surprises his mystery admirer with flowers. Ro spots him kissing the person in question.
21. Mercedes receives a devastating setback as she gets news about her chemo drugs.
Neighbours
22. Susan and Karl rally around Holly in the wake of the siege but Holly struggles with the knowledge that she’s facing a decade in prison if convicted of theft. Paul is ultimately the one who gets through to her, however, thanking her for saving his life and assuring her that she’ll always have a job at Lassiters.
23. Wendy attempts to explain to Andrew why exactly she was alone with Quinn in the office during the siege but he’s had enough, storming out. Sadie, however, understands that her mum was tricked by Quinn and thus attempts to get Andrew to see sense.
24. Terese struggles to adjust to her new normal after Toadie’s departure. She checks in on Paul but finds herself tempted to revisit that chapter of her life as the former flames grow closer. Refusing to go back down that path, however, she turns to Susan for company and later Jane, but both are too busy at that particular moment in time, which leads her right back to Paul.
25. Nicolette receives both barrels from Jane after a miscommunication over childcare arrangements results in her having to take Isla to work at the cafe.
