With unexpected twists and high drama in abundance, the nation’s favourite soaps continue to deliver next week, as confirmed in my new spoilers.
Emmerdale’s Belle Dingle is left reeling after a discovery about Zak and it leads her straight to Tom King, which doesn’t end well, with an unexpected arrest made as a result.
Coronation Street, meanwhile, sees Bethany Platt return to the cobbles while Leanne Battersby is left with food for thought as she contemplates her new chapter.
Over in EastEnders, a new family feud is brewing, with the Mitchells and the Panesars set to face off, while Hollyoaks lines up a shock for Sienna Blake, who remains in prison for the murder of her beloved husband Ethan Williams, who sadly died last week.
