Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) in EastEnders is left wondering if she’s made the right decision ahead of her move to Abu Dhabi.

A few weeks ago, a flirtatious man called Dorian arrived and told Sharon that there’s a job waiting for her overseas if she wants it.

‘Dorian offers Sharon the chance to move to Abu Dhabi to set up shop in a new gym. It would obviously be a huge change for Sharon as Walford is her home, but with her relationship in tatters, I don’t think she feels like there’s much left to keep her there’, Letitia Dean told us.

Given everything she’s been through, Sharon was left seriously tempted by the offer but it upcoming episodes, it appears she might be having doubts.

In The Arches, a determined Keanu (Danny Walters) decides to organise a romantic date for Sharon and later, in the pub, she is struggling over the prospect of starting again in Abu Dhabi.

The week will also see Sharon involved in trying to get Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) and Ian (Adam Woodyatt) back on the same page. She acts as mediator and hatches a plan to get Ian and Kathy to the café for wine, but will Sharon really say goodbye to her friends and life in Albert Square?

We know that regardless of this choice, Sharon will be in Walford over Christmas, as she is one of six characters who will be in the Queen Vic when a dead body is discovered.

The flash-forward in February also allowed us to establish Sharon will be wearing a wedding dress in these scenes – but who is she getting married to, and how will the possible move to Abu Dhabi impact what’s to come?

Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) may be gone, but the story is far from over – for those left behind on Coronation Street, the aftermath is going to be explosive.

With Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) in hot water after killing Stephen, Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) is devastated – and fully blames him for the loss of her son.

And for others, they are worried for the future, with Underworld on the brink of collapse and Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) fighting for his life.

So what’s to come? We take a look at the expected future.

Peter faces prison ahead of his exit

It’s no secret that Chris Gascoyne is set to leave his role as Peter Barlow – leaving legions of fans devastated.

Not that he is implicated in Stephen’s death, it seems that a crushing exit is on the cards for him.

He would be unlikely to split from Carla Connor (Alison King) given how much they have protected and supported each other recently.

So, the police are going to be all over him – and he could be facing jail…

Audrey is furious – and wants Peter to pay

Audrey may play an integral part in this – we have seen her rage at Peter for what happened to Stephen.

Despite everything he has done, Audrey will always love her son, and now wants justice for his death.

Will she be instrumental in having Peter sent down?

The Platts face shame

Meanwhile, the ramifications of Stephen’s murders will leave Weatherfield in shock, with the Platts finding themselves under the spotlight.

Audrey star Sue Nicholls explained: ‘His actions have affected so many people. David is very good at dealing with that and won’t let people bad mouth the family, Gail is going to try and keep a low profile.

‘And let’s not forget dear Tim is still missing and whilst that is the case people are going to be looking to the Platts for answers too.’

Can Tim survive?

Speaking of Tim, he remains trapped in that car boot. With Sally frantic, his fate hangs in the balance.

Time is running out, and Joe Duttine hasn’t ruled out an exit from the show.

‘Coronation Street’s been absolutely brilliant for me, and it’s been an absolute joy to work on.

‘So, if that’s the way the character has to go, that’s the way he has to go, and I’ll just be grateful for the time I’ve spent here. Obviously, I’d be incredibly sad, but that’s the nature of the show.’

Carla may lose her business

Stephen has swiped half a million from the factory, with Carla now in a painful situation.

With Underworld in the grips of such a crisis, she needs to find any idea she can to reverse her fortunes.

It’s going to be easier said than done…

Michael is in hot water

Michael accidentally played a part in the loss of that money, having given Stephen his logins.

So now, he is at the centre of Underworld facing closure.

But the police are also going to suspect he was in cahoots with Stephen…

Coronation Street boss Iain MacLeod has been teasing the aftermath of Stephen Reid’s (Todd Boyce) exit from the cobbles.

This week, Stephen attempted to leave Weatherfield after his secrets slowly started to be exposed. He was hoping to fly to Thailand and start a new life with Jenny (Sally Ann Matthews) but as the truth caught up with him, Stephen chose to secretly leave on his own instead.

When he got to the airport, Stephen faced a huge problem when the assistant at the check-in desk pointed out he didn’t actually have his passport.

Forced to return home, a desperate Stephen then took Jenny hostage and held a broken bottle to her neck.

As he fell apart, Stephen’s reign of terror came to a dramatic end when Peter (Chris Gascoyne) drove into the evil businessman and killed him.

With Peter Barlow’s exit from the show looming, the next few weeks will involve DS Swain (Vicky Myers) and her team investigating everything that has occurred over the past year and a half.

But while the police do their job, the Weatherfield residents must also deal with the damage Stephen has caused, as Corrie boss Iain MacLeod explains:

‘It’s like when you watch a movie and it’s the end of the film and that’s that and the protagonist walks off into the sunset as the credits roll. But obviously soap doesn’t end. It goes on and you need to have the sequel to the movie in your heads before you’ve even started telling the story of the first movie.

‘So, yes, there are wide-ranging consequences to Stephen’s exit, both emotionally and practically and criminally going forward. You need to know what season two of the tv series is before you’ve written series one, or you need to know what the sequel is.

He added: ‘So, in the grand tradition of sequels, I hope what you’re about to see is Godfather part two which is one of the best sequels ever. And not Ace Ventura two, which isn’t. I’m confident we’ve nailed this. The consequences inevitably of crimes of this scale are going to be huge, so it’s going to be an exciting few months on Coronation Street.’

Reflecting on the community being involved in Stephen’s final moments, Iain also highlighted the importance of that, and how it kickstarts other characters’ storylines:

‘That’s what continuing drama and soap does best. It’s about communities, isn’t it? It’s not just as simple as Stephen’s done some bad stuff, it has ripple effects across the whole street and that’s just a lot more fun to watch really, otherwise it doesn’t feel like a soap anymore. So, we were very keen to explore all the ways in which Stephen’s bad behaviour, to euphemistically describe it – it’s probably gone further than bad behaviour by now – but we wanted to explore all the people he’s impacted from Carla to Peter to Audrey, indirectly to Sarah who’s trusted this guy.

‘He’s been like her mentor, her inspiration business-wise and there’s a big impact on her. Michael, who’s been mentored by Stephen recently, the impact on him. He’s just had all these far-reaching influences on all these characters an we just loved the idea of all these chickens coming home to roost in this big week.’

‘I think it’s entirely unique!’, he said, pondering over Stephen’s entire storyline and the impact it’s had on so many.

‘What I’ve liked about watching Stephen is, yes, you could try and sit there and find parallels between previous iconic Corrie bad guys, but I think he’s entirely of his own genre.

‘I’ve talked about villains before, but I’m reminded of Alan Rickman, who was apparently once asked why he always played villains, and he somewhat prickly replied, “Oh, I don’t play villains, I play very interesting people.” I think that’s how Todd’s approached it and how we’ve approached it in the writing, which is this isn’t a man who woke up one morning and thought, “Do you know what’s missing from my life? A bit of random murder and mayhem.” We’ve watched that evolve and we’ve rooted it all in this man’s massive, fragile ego.

‘I think he’s entirely unique and will go on to be entirely iconic. As we’ve seen today, he’s had his face on cupcakes and popcorn boxes already – I wish I hadn’t eaten mine because Ebay might quite enjoy that!

‘The story, the character and the performance from Todd has just been up there with my very favourite Corrie villains.’

Coronation Street may have killed off Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce), but Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) is not out of the woods yet – literally.

Sally (Sally Dynevor) is fearing the worst for her missing husband and begs Stephen for answers on his whereabouts.

However, he didn’t confirm where he was before he died, having been run over by Peter Barlow (Chis Gascoyne).

Originally, Stephen was going to torch the car with Tim inside, assuming he had killed him.

Tim remains in the boot and, at the end of the big episodes of Stephen’s ending, Tim stirred with a gasp, still tied up in the boot.

Night had fallen but he was in the middle of the forest as he called for help. With air likely to run out, Tim’s situation is grave.

While Corrie may have revealed his current fate of being alive, it might not be for long as he faces a long and grim death.

Sally faces a race against time, but she has absolutely nothing to go on, which may reveal the terrible outcome.

Joe Duttine recently opened up to Metro.co.uk about the possibility of him leaving the show, saying: ‘Coronation Street’s been absolutely brilliant for me, and it’s been an absolute joy to work on’, Joe told us, reflecting on the prospect of leaving the show.

‘So, if that’s the way the character has to go, that’s the way he has to go, and I’ll just be grateful for the time I’ve spent here.

‘Obviously, I’d be incredibly sad, but that’s the nature of the show.’

It’s been a long road, with Tim being one of the first to clock the truth about Stephen.

In fact, he was the one to find Teddy’s body, triggering Stephen’s downfall after 18 months.

And Joe was pretty chuffed to play such a big part.

‘It’s good to stretch the acting muscles a little bit and have the opportunity to get out and do stuff that’s a challenge and flex your creative muscles a bit. I enjoyed it a lot,’ she smiled.

‘I’ve been wanting to catch a villain for a long time! Ever since Phelan, I wanted to get Phelan.

‘I didn’t want Phelan to get away with it because of the stuff that he was doing to Faye.

‘So, finally, Tim got the chance to play his part in bringing the villain down. So yeah, I relish every moment!’.

We’re not relishing the prospect of losing Tim however, and hoping against hope that the slim chance of his survival comes to fruition.

Can’t believe we have to think about it all weekend!

Did you see that coming? Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) certainly didn’t!

Coronation Street has ended the 18-month serial killer storyline with one final death, as Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) speeding his car at Stephen and killing him.

The shocking moment came as desperate Stephen took Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) hostage, dragging her out on the street with a broken bottle to her neck.

It was pretty certain that the game was up for him as he demanded that David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) bring a getaway car for him.

With Jenny shaking with fear, a crowd gathered to witness the events, led by Stephen’s mum Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) who begged him to stop this.

The truth about Stephen’s actions over his tenure became clear to everyone, and he became more and more panicky.

At the same time, Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) begged him to confirm Tim’s (Joe Duttine) whereabouts, something he didn’t confide.

Meanwhile, Peter was racing back to Weatherfield, having realised that Stephen wasn’t at the airport at all.

As Stephen pulled Jenny to the car he was going to escape in, he dropped her, letting her go.

In the same moment, Peter drove at him, knocking him flying onto the cobbles.

Peter was instantly shocked at his actions, insisting that he thought Stephen would kill Jenny if he didn’t stop him.

Stephen was at death’s door at the ground, with Sally continuing to plead for information on her missing husband.

Meanwhile, a deeply distressed Audrey cradled her son, apologising for everything and begging for him to pull through.

However, he soon passed away, leaving Peter stunned that he had taken a life.

It spells the end of Stephen’s reign of murder, but the drama is only really beginning for those left behind.

For Peter certainly, Audrey has made it clear that she feels he deliberately killed her son, and she declared that he would face justice.

It sparks fears that the end is nigh for Peter. Given Chris Gascoyne is leaving his role, a spell in prison is a real possibility.

And Sue Nicholls recently told us that the outcome for Audrey will be far-reaching over coming months.

‘I am interested to know what will happen and how the Platt family are going to respond to Audrey’s reaction to his crimes,’ the stalwart pondered.

‘Audrey is bewildered, the family know that Stephen is the baddie and the fact that his mother is not on that wavelength is a real worry to them, especially with everything that has happened with her over the past couple of years.

‘They could lecture her and try to make her see sense but actually, they know that isn’t going to help.’

She added: ‘His actions have affected so many people. David is very good at dealing with that and won’t let people bad mouth the family, Gail is going to try and keep a low profile.

‘And let’s not forget dear Tim is still missing and whilst that is the case people are going to be looking to the Platts for answers too.’ 

Many won’t be shedding tears over Stephen’s fate, but Sue is going to miss working with Todd Boyce.

‘We miss having him around already. I absolutely loved working with him,’ she enthused.

‘I love Todd, he’s a joy, he’s delightful. He has worked so hard and he has had so many days full of long scenes and he has put his all into creating this character, I think it’s been wonderful.

‘I’ve been lucky, because I’ve had a very, very good story, beautifully written. I know I’ll miss him and I’m going to have to stay in touch with him because I have known him for such a very long time.’

Samson Dingle (Sam Hall) had some vile words to say in response to the news of Lydia’s (Karen Blick) rape in Emmerdale.

This week, after telling her family about the ordeal, Lydia decided that she would go to the police and report Craig (Ben Addis).

Tonight (October 13), in the concluding part of Super Soap Week, Lydia entered a police interview room and told the officer about her attack.

She revealed that she had known Craig for a long time, and that he tried to come onto her. In emotional scenes, Lydia said that she wasn’t sure how many times she said no, but she is certain that she said it once – and Craig failed to listen.

Back at home, Lydia chose to tell Samson about the rape. Supported by Sam (James Hooton), Lydia explained the she stopped Samson’s work experience because of the ordeal, but wasn’t prepared for the way he responded to her news.

Rather than believing Lydia and taking her side, Samson was too focused on the fact he viewed Craig as a kind and helpful man. He tried to tell Lydia that she might’ve got things wrong, and then insensitively asked where the rape took place.

Lydia revealed that it happened in Craig’s office but made it crystal clear that if it occurred in her bed, it still would’ve been rape because she said no.

Outside, Sam confronted Samson about his utterly horrific words. Clearly the teenager had been manipulated by Craig and was struggling to accept that he was capable of the heinous crime. He, once again, prioritised his own emotions and said that Craig hadn’t done anything wrong to him, but Sam reminded his son that Lydia was most certainly the focus in this situation.

Returning to the house, Samson apologised and said to Lydia that he believes her.

As conversation turned to the police investigation, Lydia started to wonder if Craig would actually face the consequences for his actions. While she pointed out to Sam that Craig is incredibly good at manipulating someone and turning on the charm, we saw two police officers arrive at his place of work and take Craig away.

But will he get away with it?

Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) has had enough of life in the Emmerdale village as upcoming episodes will see him depart – one week after his return.

Following the news that Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Caleb (William Ash) were holding someone hostage in a farmhouse, the person in question was revealed to be Aaron.

The beloved character has a dark cloud hanging over him after trouble in Italy and Liv’s (Isobel Steele) death last year. He also has a lot of hate and anger towards his mum Chas (Lucy Pargeter), convinced that if she didn’t have her affair with Al, Liv would’ve never been in the village during the storm, and might be alive today.

Tonight, in the final instalment of Super Soap Week, Aaron managed to escape the farmhouse after tricking Vinny (Bradley Johnson).

He then made his way to a wasteground to interrupt Caleb and Cain, who were trying to get Harry (Robert Beck) to release a kidnapped Chas.

Failing to think about his traumatised mum, Aaron drove a car into Harry and sent him flying. He had the bag of money and told Caleb and Cain that he’d be leaving and will use the cash to pay for a holiday.

However, after a comment from Cain about Liv, Aaron changed his mind and handed back the money, allowing Chas to walk free.

Back in the village, Aaron confronted Cain and said that if he intervenes again, he’ll take action.

Coming up, Paddy (Dominic Brunt) is taken aback by Aaron’s vitriol when he talks about Paddy’s attempt at ending his life.

It’s clear that Paddy is hurt, but refuses to give up on Aaron and his words seemingly hit the mark with him.

Later on, at the pub, Aaron spots the family toasting to Faith (Sally Dexter) and is upset to realise he wasn’t invited.

Taking action, Aaron grabs some money from the till and leaves.

Out in the village, Aaron is traumatised by the agonising memory of his sister.

When Vinny finds Aaron, they get talking but he ends up touching a nerve, prompting Aaron to get into his car and leave.

But is this the last we’ve seen of him?

Newcomer Amit Sharma (Anil Goutam) arrived in the Emmerdale village with the intention of spending time with Suni (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana), who had just discovered that Jai (Chris Bisson) is actually his brother and not his cousin.

However, when Amit stepped foot in Rishi’s (Bhasker Patel) old home, it was clear he had more on his mind than his two sons.

The scenes at Holdgate saw Amit suffer a panic attack. This left Suni confused, given he was under the impression his dad had never been in the house before.

The ITV soap was clearly hinting at the fact Amit had been in the Dales recently and tonight (October 13), it was confirmed he was there during Rishi’s final moments.

Back at Holdgate with Suni, Amit stood at the bottom of the stairs and recalled the argument he had with Rishi before he died.

The confronation – which also involved Amit grabbing Rishi’s shirt – happened because the secret surrounding Jai’s adoption had been exposed.

‘He simply lost his balance’, Amit said, just as the scene cut away.

When the storyline was picked up again later in the episode, Suni wondered why Amit never called an ambulance for Rishi.

The new face said that Rishi was already dead and knew that if he called for help, it would look terrible on his part as they were ‘warring brothers’ with one sibling claiming the fall was a ‘freak accident’.

Struggling to process the news, Suni left, but a desperate Amit followed and said that he needs to keep it a secret because if not, people will talk and he doesn’t want anyone thinking he’s a killer.

With Suni forced to stay quiet, has Amit got away with killing Rishi?

MORE : Danny Miller reveals emotive reason he returned to Emmerdale as Aaron Dingle

Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) is on a path to self destruction in Emmerdale, and absolutely doesn’t care who he hurts along the way.

The beloved character made a return this week and was being held hostage by Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Caleb (William Ash) in an abandoned farmhouse.

Essentially, the Aaron who left the village after Liv’s (Isobel Steele) death is completely different to the one we see now. He is spiralling after getting involved in some dodgy jobs in Italy and is also struggling to process his grief after losing his sister.

Not only that, but he also looks at mum Chas (Lucy Pargeter) like a piece of dirt on his shoe, believing that if it wasn’t for her and Al’s (Michael Wildman) affair, Liv would’ve never been in the village during the storm, and therefore might still be alive today.

After Chas was kidnapped by Harry (Robert Beck), we picked up the story with Cain and Caleb preparing to meet him at a wasteground. It was a simple plan – give Harry the money, get Chas back.

But then Aaron got involved.

After managing to convince Vinny (Bradley Johnson) to let him out of the farmhouse, Aaron jumped in a car to find Cain, Caleb and Harry.

As they tried to negotiate, Chas was let out of the boot.

Harry was very close to getting his money and letting Chas go, but Aaron then zoomed into the scene, drove into Harry and sent him flying.

As far as Aaron was concerned, he had arrived to get the money and leave – he didn’t care about Chas.

Fortunately, after a comment from Cain about Liv, Aaron handed the money back which meant Chas could return home safely.

Back in the village, as Chas reeled from what had unfolded, Aaron was confronting Cain.

Aaron said that if Cain got in his way in the future, he would ‘end’ him.

Cain was clearly concerned as to what Aaron could be capable of, but will he intervene in his life again, and possibly face the consequences?

Coronation Street legend Barbara Knox is the subject of a new documentary airing on ITV tonight, which will see the notoriously private 90-year-old open up about her life for the first time.

Bradley Walsh, who played Danny Baldwin in the soap, will chat to Barbara as she looks back on the highlights of her television and theatre career, as well as sharing photos from her childhood and stories about her personal life away from the cobbles.

Barbara, who reached the milestone birthday in September, is of course one of the soap’s longest-serving stalwarts

But who does she play on the show and how long has she been a part of it?

Who does Barbara Knox play in Coronation Street?

Barbara plays Rita Tanner in Coronation Street.

Rita has seen her fair share of drama ever since she arrived on the cobbles. She is most known for running The Kabin newsagents and fostering young people in Weatherfield.

She looked after the likes of Jenny (Sally Ann Matthews) and Sharon (Tracie Bennett) and in recent years, took Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) under her wing.

Rita has been married several times during the show also.

The character, born Rita Littlewood, became Rita Fairclough when she married Len in 1977 – but he died six years later in a road accident.

She had an affair with Alan Bradley, the father of her foster daughter Jenny Bradley – although the relationship was troubled, with Alan secretly mortgaging Rita’s home to fund his business, and assaulting her when she found out.

He later died in 1989 after being hit by a tram.

Rita went on to marry Ted Sullivan in 1992 – although it was a short-lived marriage as he was terminally ill and died from a brain tumour three months later.

Her final marriage, to old friend Dennis Tanner in 2012, also ended abruptly after he ran off with Gloria Price (Sue Johnston).

How long has Barbara Knox been in Coronation Street?

Barbara has been a regular fixture on the soap since 1972.

Reflecting on her incredible career, Barbara pondered over the prospect of saying goodbye to it all and retiring.

‘Unbelievable really isn’t it? How the years have gone. And what we’ve crammed into the years and how fortunate I have been, in being in the Street for about 50 or 60 of them. I’ve lost track!’, she said during the documentary, which will air this Friday (October 13) on ITV.

‘I’ve been very fortunate. I can’t believe all these years have gone by and I’m looking at 90. I can’t believe that. And if they’re listening. I don’t want to retire.’

Who is the longest-serving cast member on a soap?

While Barbara may have been a part of Corrie for the past 50 years, she is by no means the longest serving cast member on a soap – although that honour does belong to one of her fellow Coronation Street stars.

In fact it’s William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow, who holds the Guinness World Record for the longest stint in a TV soap opera – having played the character since 1960.

However, he’s not the longest-serving character in a soap opera in any medium – as that honour belongs to The Archers’ star Patricia Greene.

Patricia has played Jill Archer on the long-running Radio 4 soap since 1957 – an impressive 66 years.

Barbara Knox At 90 is on ITV tonight at 9pm.

MORE : Emmerdale’s William Ash piles praise on ‘fantastic’ real life cousin who is in major Coronation Street storyline

There is a lot of drama ahead for Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) as the net closes in on serial killer Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) in Coronation Street.

Viewers are desperate to know how Stephen’s story is set to end, and while we can’t give you all the details, there are certainly some intense scenes involved.

Some such scenes see Jenny and Stephen embroiled in a ‘messy’ fight, which actress Sally Ann Matthews revealed she had a lot of say in.

‘I really wanted it to be messy. That’s why I wanted to be on the floor to kind of recreate that Rita and Alan fight that was messy and scrappy and not choreographed. It’s not a punch to here and a kick to there…

‘So, I had a lot of input in that and I wanted to be dragged around, a bit like Rita was because that’s what we were going for, for that grubby, very real – How do you fight? What do you do?’

This fight comes amid scenes that see the true extent of Stephen’s crime coming to light, with the residents of Coronation Street coming to realise that they have a killer in their midst.

This realisation leaves Jenny absolutely terrified, as Sal explained.

‘She’s cacking her pants! She suddenly realises and it all starts to come together, she realises that if he did this with Leo then how long has this been going on for? Leo’s been dead a year, was this his intention all the time, he did this and was comforting her, it’s just a betrayal on every single level.’

With this story having affected so many of our favourite characters, they are all set to be brought together as it reaches its climax, Sal has revealed.

‘I think what [this episode] does brilliantly is it ties up the last 18 months with Stephen at the centre, and it permeates out with everybody that he’s affected in his entire time on the street.

While there’s a lot of fighting and jeopardy, that isn’t all we have to look forward to.

‘It’s very much about love as well. [Stephen’s] love for Sarah, his love for Jenny, Audrey’s love for him.

‘Then what he’s done to Elaine, what he’s done to Tim, what he’s done to Jenny, what he’s done to Carla. I think it’s a really interesting way to tie all of those people together.

‘Audrey and Jenny have known each other for a very long time so their paths are going to cross a little bit more because of Stephen now. And I think that’s a really nice thing. We’ve got Sally in it as well.’

However Stephen’s story ends, it will surely have far-reaching consequences for the whole street, and we can’t wait to see how it all unfolds!

Danny Hatchard has taken to social media to call out a woman who took a picture of him nude while he was performing in a show.

The former EastEnders star, who played Lee Carter on the BBC One soap, is currently performing in venues all across the UK as part of The Full Monty tour.

The 32-year-old plays the leading role of Gaz, which was originally played by Once Upon A Time star Robert Carlyle in the 1997 film.

The show opened earlier this week to rave reviews from critics and fans, but one person in attendance went too far, snapping a photo of the final moments of the performance.

The Full Monty, as fans will know, tells the story of six unemployed men who form a male striptease act in order to make some cash. The story culminates with the men in question stripping nude.

Danny subsequently took to social media to call this woman out on her actions. He wrote: ‘To the woman who took a photo at the end of todays performance of full Monty with a flash on.

‘Hope you’re happy you Pervy disrespectful low life.’

The Our Girl star received support from his followers, with one writing: ‘It disgusting behaviour and I support you.’

Another commented: ‘Sorry this happened to you. Nobody has any right to take a photo of you without your consent, especially not a naked photo – totally disrespectful.’

Danny rose to fame as Lee on EastEnders, making his debut in 2014, months after being talked about by parents Mick and Linda Carter (Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright).

He captivated audiences with his incredible performances over the years, particularly during a powerful storyline which saw Lee attempt to take his own life, before departing in 2017.

Danny has reprised his role on several occasions, returning to EastEnders in 2019 as Lee supported mum Linda during her battle with alcoholism.

Lee staged a second comeback in December 2020 when he, like the rest of the nation, struggled to get his head around Linda’s bizarre and out-of-character affair with Max Branning.

Ray Quinn has tied the knot with fiancée Emily Fletcher, with the couple describing their big day as a ‘magical fairytale’

The wedding took place on Monday at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, which as been home to a number of celebrity weddings including that of James and Rebekah Vardy’s.

Ray, who came second in the third series of The X Factor, which was won by Leona Lewis, said that the day in question was the moment that he’d ‘been waiting for’.

‘I caught sight of her and she looked absolutely amazing,’ he said of the moment he first saw Emily on the big day. ‘I just burst into tears.

‘All the emotion from the day, the night before and even the year we’d been planning the wedding, just hit me. I knew how Emily would’ve been feeling walking with her dad, it was overwhelming.’

Emily, meanwhile, told OK! Magazine that she ‘didn’t take her eyes off’ Ray, branding him the ‘man of her dreams’.

Couple goals.

Ray rose to fame on Brookside, playing Antony Murray between 2000 and 2003.

He subsequently took part in The X Factor in 2006, finishing in second place to Leona before embarking on a music career of his own, releasing his debut album the following year, which was a commercial success.

The soap star competed in and won Dancing On Ice in 2009.

Five years later, he took part in the All Stars series of the ITV reality competition and was again crowned skating champion.

In 2018, Ray joined the cast of Hollyoaks, portraying far-right extremist Jonny Baxter, who radicalised Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) in a storyline that took place over a year.

He made his final appearance in Hollyoaks when Ste paid a visit to see Jonny in prison, who was arrested for his crimes.

It’s one of the The Archers’ most infamous storylines of all time, and it’s now being revisited seven years later.

Whether a regular fan of the show or not, many will recall the controversial arc which saw sinister Rob Titchener (Timothy Watson) torment his wife Helen (Louiza Patikas), in a vile campaign of physical, mental and sexual abuse.

Her traumatic situation led to a shocking moment, in which Helen defended herself from a violent attack by stabbing her husband.

It was the culmination of a two year ordeal, with many listeners initially assuming Rob was dead.

Not many tears were shed, our Kleenex remained untouched.

He did survive, and it triggered further pain for Helen when she was charged and stood trial for attempted murder in the show’s first ever hour-long special in its long history.

Vindicated, Helen was acquitted, but abuse like this is something that she will never forget, despite her bravery in emerging from Rob’s sinister shadow.

In the last few weeks, Helen has found the nightmares from her past resurfacing, with evil Rob making his return to Ambridge.

And, it will surprise no-one to discover that he hasn’t changed one bit.

Rob is, as far as we know, terminally ill, although given his previous behaviour, many fans are not taking his word at face value, even though we have heard his diagnosis in hospital.

The master manipulator villain, an abuser expert in gaslighting behaviour, is not only making Helen and Alan question the facts they thought they had in front of them, but listeners too.

It’s an unsettling plot line that many dreaded returning, with some saying they wish it hadn’t. ‘Stopping listening. I tune in to escape,’ said one.

However, the majority are gripped once more as Rob gradually regains his power.

This is a similar vibe to when the storyline first reached its culmination back in 2016.

It became a huge national talking point, putting The Archers on the map for many who had never listened.

The story went on to raise £100,000 via listeners for the charity Refuge, a testimony to the impact it had.

Organiser Paul Trueman said at the time: ‘If over the last year or two you’ve sworn at the radio, tweeted in outrage, taken the name ‘Robert’ in vain, or posted your disgust at the worsening situation in Blossom Hill Cottage, then now’s your chance to do something constructive about it.

‘Time to do something constructive and think of all the women who are genuinely stuck in relationships like this – and much, much worse.’

In terms of what comes next, it’s clear that the story of Rob’s return has some way to go.

He has quickly infiltrated village life, and even approached 12-year-old Henry at the county fair in a bid to pursue access to Jack.

He has also met with Alan, demanding a baptism ahead of his health deteriorating due to the inoperable tumour.

However, anyone will agree that his hopes of redemption of any sort are futile.

With Rob hanging over her life once more, there are turbulent and unsettling times ahead for both Helen and listeners.

It remains to be seen where the plotline goes from here but, like before, it is proving a tough one and inevitably will have the dramatic peaks we have come to expect from the story.

You can find information and anonymous support on domestic abuse via the charity Refuge.

You can keep up to date with all the goings on in Ambridge by tuning in to Radio 4 – the full schedule is available on the BBC website.

EastEnders fans have taken to social media to express their opinion on the sudden change to Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) ahead of the character’s departure.

News of her exit was revealed in August, with Metro.co.uk understanding that it was the soap’s decision to write the character out, with Karen’s final scenes set to air later this year.

Karen, who arrived in Walford back in 2017, has found herself involved in Keanu’s (Danny Walters) storyline recently.

After breaking up with Sharon (Letitia Dean), Keanu has regularly clashed with her over care for their son, Albie.

And for Karen, she has taken it upon herself to tell Sharon what she thinks of her nearly every time they make eye contact.

This week, after Keanu discovered Sharon’s plan to possibly move to Abu Dhabi for a new job, Karen decided to step in and tell her son that they needed to put Sharon back in her place.

Tired of Sharon apparently looking down her nose at the Taylor family, Karen convinced Keanu that he should get back with his ex, marry her and then right at the last minute, take everything and leave her destroyed.

The shocking behaviour was picked up by EastEnders fans, with many stunned that Karen’s personality has been altered so much.

‘Catching up on eastenders and is it me or are they making Karen and Bernie unlikable at the moment’, one Twitter/X user wondered.

Another wrote: ‘They’ve made Karen so unbearable, no one will care when she leaves. As for Keanu, it’s obvious he genuinely still loves Sharon but listening to his mum won’t do him any favours. Wedding will be Xmas day obvs!’, while someone else simply said: ‘Ugh go away Karen’.

Lorraine isn’t the only one set to leave in the coming months, with Whitney Dean star Shona McGarty also departing after 15 years.

Lorraine was active on social media this week, and basically confirmed that Karen will die in the upcoming fire at the cafe after liking a tweet from a fan who was speculating this theory.

Emmerdale fans were blown away earlier this week when Aaron Dingle made an unannounced return, with actor Danny Miller reprising his iconic role.

Aaron, who made his final appearance last year, was revealed to be the mystery prisoner that Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Caleb Milligan (William Ash) were keeping captive up at Wylie’s farm.

The character had got involved in dodgy dealings in Italy, with Cain and Caleb undertaking the secret mission of rescuing him, taking him back home to the village against his will.

Aaron’s comeback was certainly a huge shock, taking viewers by surprise.

The popular character left the village in 2021 after actor Danny decided to say goodbye to the show. He reprised his role for a number of episodes last year as part of Emmerdale’s 50th anniversary, before departing once more, which is why his latest return left fans in shock.

Discussing how this new return story came about, actor Danny told us: ‘Jane [Hudson, Executive Producer] and Laura [Shaw, Producer] pitched the idea to come back I was over the moon and so excited and they said: “There’s something we want to do with it which means you’ll have to keep it quiet.”

‘This was back at the beginning of the year so this has been months of not being able to tell people and relocating and not being able to tell people.

‘Some of my closest friends and family don’t even know what I’ve been up to. It was hard to do but obviously I respected it.

‘My appreciation for the show meant that I wanted to keep the secret and I wanted to be part of something that will be a soap shocking moment.’

Danny also explained why he said yes to Emmerdale this time around, revealing that he ‘enjoyed’ the time away from the show and felt honoured for the opportunity to return.

‘I did I’m A Celeb which was something I always wanted to do,’ he continued.’I had the opportunity to go and do various other shows off the back of that. I left for time with my family, which you often don’t get to do because it’s very busy.

‘I feel I’ve achieved a lot in my time away but when the offer came to get back in I was very thankful. This is for my family and I feel very honoured.’

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

The biggest week in soap might almost be at an end but the heartbreak and devastation is only just beginning, with compelling aftermath aplenty in next week’s visits.

Stephen Reid’s reign of terror will imminently reach a conclusion in Coronation Street but the realisation of what he did will send shockwaves through the cobbles for all the residents, with a police investigation on the cards.

Over in Emmerdale, Amit’s arrival continues to cause chaos, with Suni Sharma at a loss over what to do with his father’s big secret. Expect blackmail, heartbreak and a few twists thrown in for good measure.

It’s not just the ITV soaps serving up some good twists, however, as EastEnders sees Ravi Gulati make a mammoth discovery, while Hollyoaks rules out one suspect in Rayne Royce’s murder.

Ramsay Street is also home to a few shocks, with Wendy Rodwell left reeling with guilt, while Susan and Karl Kennedy find their loyalties divided once again in another unmissable week for Neighbours.

For your weekend fix of spoilers Metro.co.uk has compiled the biggest and best from the biggest and best soaps, so let the reading commence!

Knowing full well Suki knows something, Ravi instructs Jack to follow Nish’s car and, upon arriving at a flat, he is stunned to find Nugget in the company of his mum Priya. The shocks just keep on coming, however, as Ravi finds out that he has a daughter he never knew existed.

2. Kathy is fed up of her living arrangements.

Jay and Honey subsequently have a heartfelt conversation about grief, with the former meeting with Nadine, who assumes he wants more drugs.

9. Lauren quizzes Ryan about the nature of his relationship with Daisy, with Ryan adamant that they’re just friends. Carla, meanwhile, suggests that Ryan move back in with her, much to the shock of Lauren, who knows she cannot pay the bills by herself.

Coronation Street star Georgia Taylor has shared some pictures from her latest trip away with her boyfriend and co-star Charlie de Melo.

Georgia, best known for her role as Toyah Battersby in the show, posted a variety of snaps from her holiday in Northern Ireland with Charlie, who portrayed Imran Habeeb.

‘Delicious Northern Irish spam incoming xx’, she wrote as the caption.

The images include Charlie and Georgia at the Titanic Belfast visitor experience, enjoying pints of Guiness and good craic, and taking in the beautiful Northern Irish landscape.

Charlie and Georgia fuelled romance rumours back in February of this year, after it was reported that Georgia had split from her partner Mark Letheren after 14 years.

Travelling is something the couple clearly enjoy. Over the past few months, Georgia and Charlie have shared a variety of pictures visiting Sorrento, Scotland and the capital for a Blur gig.

We love it!

Charlie played the role of Imran Habeeb in Corrie from 2017-2022.

Imran died after being involved in a car crash with Toyah, which came after she had discovered his one-night stand with Abi (Sally Carman), who was pregnant with his baby at the time.

For Toyah, she recently said goodbye to her old lover Spider Nugent (Martin Hancock) following his return.

Toyah and Spider were going to settle down and start a life together, but it became apparent that Spider’s job as an undercover police officer was a lot more important to him, so he chose to leave Weatherfield ahead of his next mission.

The week in question sees Ravi grows suspicious of Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), who arranges to meet with Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) after she confides in Nish (Navin Chowdhry) about knowing where the teen has been hiding out. 

Knowing full well Suki knows something, Ravi instructs Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) to follow Nish’s car and, upon arriving at a flat, he is stunned to find Nugget in the company of his mum Priya.

The shocks keep on coming, however, as Ravi finds out that he has a daughter he never knew existed.

Elsewhere on the Square, Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) is fed up of her living arrangements, but Rocky (Brian Conley) can’t afford any potential flats.

Determined to help Kath with her dilemma, he tries to broker peace between his wife and her son Ian (Adam Woodyatt), hoping they’ll be able to move back into No. 45. 

Keanu, meanwhile, organises a romantic date for Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) at The Arches, which leaves Sharon struggling with her decision to move to Abu Dhabi.

Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) recently found himself keeping more secrets from partner Moira Barton (Natalie J Robb) in Emmerdale.

As Cain and Caleb (William Ash) continued their sneaking around, we eventually discovered they were holding someone hostage in an abandoned farmhouse.

And at the start of Super Soap Week, that person was confirmed to be Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), who is spiralling after trouble in Italy and the death of sister Liv (Isobel Steele).

Elsewhere, Mandy (Lisa Riley), Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) and Sam (James Hooton) have been supporting Lydia (Karen Blick) in the aftermath of her rape.

Despite the Dingle clan being chaotic, sometimes violent and usually up to no good, the past few weeks have taught us that family continues to be incredibly important to them all.

In upcoming scenes of the ITV soap, the strong bond the Dingles have will be highlighted in an instalment that just focuses on this family.

Jeff Hordley, who has played Cain since 2000, has been reflecting on what it was like to film with all of his co-stars over the course of some very busy days.

‘It was about 6 or 7 days of being together. It was intense, it was chaotic, it was funny but it was ultimately brilliant. I think it’s a really exciting few episodes that we’ve got coming up there’, he said.

‘We’ve got Gary Williams, who’s a fantastic director, bringing all of this particular story together and you just know it’s going to be great. He’s just a really fantastic director.’

Joining Jeff for the chat was William Ash, who has played Caleb Milligan for nearly a year.

‘They’re interesting scenes when everyone’s involved!’, he laughed.

‘The scripts for that were, I think, particularly good. Sometimes you can never tell on the page but once we started playing all those scenes with everyone…

‘There was a nice balance there when we were doing it. It was hard work but also there was quite a lot of humour in between scenes and stuff, with everyone. We were playing a lot of games and stuff.’

Pondering over the current difficult dynamic between Cain and Moira and whether they’ll get back on track, Jeff said:

‘I would have thought so, but it’s a difficult one because of what happened last year with the whole Al thing. We’re always on shaky ground when Cain starts to lie to Moira again, but sometimes needs must. I think they’ll be fine. I don’t envisage any major upset. But I think to be able to tell stories he needs to keep his DNA intact so there will be the odd…

‘As long as it’s not a big thing like an affair, that would be the end. As long as it’s just a little white lie it’ll be fine. In Cain’s chopped logic he’s doing this for Aaron. Everything that Cain does, ultimately in his mind is always for the good of the family.’

As Aaron’s returning storyline kicks off, William has also spoke about the relationship between Caleb and his new nephew.

‘Caleb and Aaron really brush up against each other in a bad way’, he explained.

‘Because Caleb’s also now got what was his house as well. There’s a lot of conflict there. And Caleb is quite protective of Chas and seeing how Aaron behaves towards her, Caleb takes an immediate dislike to him.

‘I think he says something along the lines of “You don’t want me as your enemy.” I think Caleb’s quite happy for him to be like that, but he’ll have a problem with Caleb if he carries on…’

Time has very nearly run out for Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) in Coronation Street and this new video shows the moment Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) and Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) realise they’re at risk of becoming his next victims.

The last we saw of Stephen, he had returned to the cobbles after having his plan to escape the country destroyed. He got as far as the check-in desk but when he presented the folder that had his passport in, the assistant handed it back, allowing Stephen to realise that someone had taken the passport to delay him leaving.

Elsewhere, Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) and Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) began a search for Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine). Sally remains unaware that Tim has been fighting for his life in the boot of his taxi after being attacked by Stephen, and is desperately trying to find out more regarding her husband’s final movements.

In this new video, Jenny and Sarah are chatting in the pub, which is currently closed after Waterfords took over.

It becomes apparent they’re inside because Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) and Mason (Luca Toolan) broke in.

The conversation then turns to Stephen. Sarah is curious to know how Jenny is feeling in the aftermath of all the discoveries but when she mentions Stephen being a murderer, we realise Jenny had no idea about that part.

After spending days believing Stephen just committed crimes surrounding money, Jenny is utterly horrified.

In a panic, Jenny starts to question whether Stephen could’ve killed Leo after learning he murdered Teddy.

Sarah tries to calm her down and mentions that she came into the pub after seeing Jenny upstairs.

Processing what she’s just said, Jenny then breaks the news that she’s been in the bar the whole time – meaning someone else is upstairs.

Sarah and Jenny rush out, but with new pictures showing the moment Stephen attacks Sarah and holds a broken glass near Jenny, will they survive before he leaves forever?

‘I think it will be satisfying with the audience,’ Todd Boyce told Metro.co.uk, discussing Stephen’s final moments. ‘It’s hard to talk about without giving away too much detail but I think the audience will be pleased with it.

‘I hope people who have sense of who Stephen is, even if they don’t watch every episode [of Corrie], start tuning in now because it’s a fantastic Super Soap Week – it’s a different Super Soap Week. It’s thriller-esque.’

It’s a dangerous life being an actor, as EastEnders’ Brian Conley knows only too well.

The actor, who will soon be leaving the role of Rocky Cotton in the BBC soap, was recently the victim of a painful incident – and it was all thanks to an innocent-seeming quiche.

Brian was required to eat the pastry bake as part of an emotional scene in which Rocky is doing his best to bring the battling Beales back together over a spot of lunch.

While not exactly a quiche superfan, Brian is a consummate professional so he was doing his best to act like he was really enjoying his food.

‘I had to do this part in the scene where I pretended that the quiche was lovely – obviously it wasn’t but I’m trying to make an effort,’ he recalled.

‘When the camera was behind me, the director said “Brian you don’t have to really eat all the quiche this time,” so I went to pull the fork out and it all went wrong and I bit into it and I broke one of my teeth at the side.’

Yes, we’re wincing in sympathy too, but Brian had to carry on with the scene.

‘The others could hear me crunching. We all burst into laughter. For the rest of the scene I couldn’t smile because I didn’t want anyone to see my cracked tooth!’ he laughed.

No wonder he’s quit!

The scene in question involved Rocky trying to get Ian (Adam Woodyatt), Cindy (Michelle Collins) and Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) together to mend the tense relationship they’ve all had since Ian and Cindy’s shock return to Albert Square.

‘He’s making a huge effort because he wants it to be one big happy family,’ Brian explained. ‘He thinks if they can all get along, Ian might, in his wisdom say “Oh ok you can all move back in and live with us again.”’

He’s also trying to make amends between Cindy and Kathy because he wants them to make up but that’s a really tough ask. Throwing this all on Kathy at the last minute is just typical Rocky. Once he gets a thought in his head he’s just got to do it right away.

‘With everyone sitting there, he doesn’t want it to be too deep, he’s being jovial and trying to make everyone happy, but I think he knows in his heart this is a really big ask that everyone is going to make up over one meal.

‘But I suppose everyone is sat there and there is this glimmer of hope that we’re all going to live happily ever after.’

Whatever the outcome of Rocky’s ploy to reunite his family, the outcome for Brian was a swift trip to the dentist.

‘It’s a scene I will never forget because I lost one of my teeth,’ he concluded.

If we’re honest, we don’t entirely know what to make of Tom King (James Chase) in Emmerdale.

Since his return to the Dales earlier this year, he’s focused on reuniting with his former love, Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), but things have been a bit up and down for the couple. Initially it looked like Tom wouldn’t be able to accept Belle’s mental health issues, but he quickly came to terms with that and it seemed like a rosy future was in prospect.

Recently they made the decision to move in together – with Tom seeming keener than Belle to push that particular plan forward. Possibly he was only trying to reassure Belle of his devotion towards her after she became jealous that he was paying too much attention to Dawn (Olivia Bromley).

While on one side Tom seems lovely and is often the one to help people out or smooth over an awkward situation, there have also been times when his behaviour has seemed odd. He reacted violently, lashing out at Belle when his car was stolen for example.

And there have been some instances where he’s behaved in quite a controlling way with her, such as being jealous over her closeness to Vinny (Bradley Johnson).

Tom had a difficult past. His father Carl King (Tom Lister) was murdered in 2012 and Tom blamed Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) for his killing. He made Chas’s life hell with a campaign of stalking until he eventually left the village for Saudi Arabia with his mum.

It looked like he’d put that difficult past behind him as he settled into the village, working alongside Paddy (Dominic Brunt), Rhona (Zoe Henry) and Dawn at the vet’s, reconciling with his uncle Jimmy (Nick Miles) and the rest of the family and of course making a go of things with Belle.

But there’s an odd edge to Tom and in coming episodes Belle begins to question what’s going through his mind as she senses that something is ‘off’ about him. He’s moody and subdued – and Belle is determined to get to the bottom of what’s going on.

What will she discover?

Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) has played a huge part in Stephen Reid’s (Todd Boyce) reign of terror storyline in Coronation Street, having been one of the first people to learn about his fraud against Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls).

As Stephen’s story reaches its climax tonight (October 13), Tina O’Brien has revealed the scenes that have been a ‘dream come true’ for her to film.

‘Working with the Platts is like my dream come true. I know it’s really cliché, but if I look down the call sheet and see that I’ve got a scene with all the Platts then it’s like Christmas!’ She told Metro.co.uk.

The Platts feature very heavily in the episode which sees Stephen’s story come to and end, and Tina promises a very satisfactory ending for fans.

‘I think that the fans will find it a very satisfactory situation. Obviously, I don’t want to say too much! I think there’s so many ways this could go.

‘Obviously, the audience know that there’s going to be some form of ending. It’s interesting though, because although it’s satisfactory, I think that Audrey also in that moment is so beautiful, and again gives it another little spin to make it feel more heartfelt.’

Stephen has been juggling plates for months now and viewers have seen his crimes finally begin to catch up with him.

This week, police finally found the remains of Teddy Thompkins, Stephen’s second victim, several weeks after finding the body of his son.

Stephen killed Teddy earlier this year when he began to suspect that he had something to do with son Leo’s disappearance.

Leo and Teddy weren’t Stephen’s only victims, with Rufus having been finished off by him as well.

As it stands, Tim Metcalfe’s (Joe Duttine) life is hanging in the balance, with no one knowing whether he is alive or dead.

Though dastardly Stephen is not very popular among Corrie residents, actor Todd Boyce couldn’t be more loved by his castmates.

‘It’s really strange because you do get really close to people, and as everyone else has said, Todd is a wonderful, kind, hardworking human being and we’ve just loved having him here,’ Tina said.

‘And I do miss him. So, it’s wonderful that we’re doing things like this today so I get to see him for a bit longer! But he’s very busy actually, since leaving, so he’s probably like “Corrie who?”’

Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) is not going to go down without a fight! The Coronation Street serial killer takes his last stand tonight, but is he set to kill again before the end?

It’s no secret that the villain’s time is up; needing his passport to escape the country, he has been forced to return to Weatherfield.

Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) swiped the passport, which has now placed a target on her back.

After Jenny catches some kids invading the closed Rovers, she lets herself in and is joined by Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien), who has been worried about her.

At this stage, Jenny has no idea that Stephen is a killer, so when Sarah reveals what he has done, the former landlady is staggered by what happened to her late boyfriend Leo and his dad Teddy.

In a darkened Rovers, it quickly becomes clear that they aren’t alone – and escape is too late, when Stephen strikes, knocking Sarah to the ground with a bottle and leaving her in a seriously bad way.

Stephen then closes in on a terrified Jenny as she fears that Sarah is dead. Demanding she hands over the passport, Stephen ends up in a scuffle with Jenny and a chain of events leads to him holding the broken bottle to her neck as he emerges onto the street with her.

Stephen is dangerous and has little to lose – as a crowd gathers to the horrifying events, Jenny fears the worst.

‘She’s cacking her pants!’ Sally Ann Matthews told us. ‘She suddenly realises and it all starts to come together, she realises that if he did this with Leo then how long has this been going on for?

‘Leo’s been dead a year, was this his intention all the time, he did this and was comforting her, it’s just a betrayal on every single level.’

The actress explained that Jenny resigns herself to her fate, thinking she’s a ‘goner’.

So instead, she focuses on finding out everything that Stephen has done.

‘Jenny is definitely terrified, she does believe what she’s been told about him killing Teddy, so then it makes sense that he might’ve killed Leo, and then he confesses that he also killed Rufus.

‘I think at that point, she’s angry and wants to get the truth, she thinks Sarah’s dead and when she sees that she’s breathing, Jenny wants to find out exactly what Stephen has done. She disregards her own safety because she just wants to get to the truth.’

A fight explodes between the pair, and Sally Ann told Metro.co.uk that she used a very famous Corrie storyline as a means of reflection when filming.

‘I say I don’t do any stunts because I don’t, I’m not a physical actor at all – but I really wanted this to be messy,’ she smiled.

‘That’s why I wanted to be on the floor to kind of recreate that Rita [Tanner] and Alan [Bredley] fight – that was messy and scrappy and not choreographed. It’s not a punch to here and a kick to there…

‘So, I had a lot of input in that and I wanted to be dragged around, a bit like Rita was because that’s what we were going for, for that grubby, very real fight.’

The special episode brings the whole story to a close of sorts, with the end of Stephen nigh.

So what can we expect, given that there are still some dramatic twists to come?

‘There’s an awful lot going on!’ Sally Ann declared. ‘But I think what it does brilliantly is it ties up the last 18 months with Stephen at the centre, and it permeates out with everybody that he’s affected in his entire time on the Street.

‘But it’s very much about love as well. His love for Sarah, his love for Jenny, Audrey’s love for him. Then what he’s done to Elaine, what he’s done to Tim, what he’s done to Jenny, what he’s done to Carla. I think it’s a really interesting way to tie all of those people together.

‘Audrey and Jenny have known each other for a very long time so their paths are going to cross a little bit more because of Stephen now. And I think that’s a really nice thing.’

Co-star Tina O’Brien added: ‘I think that the fans will find [the ending] a very satisfactory situation. I think there’s so many ways this could go.

‘Obviously, the audience know that there’s going to be some form of ending. It’s interesting though, because although it’s satisfactory, I think that Audrey also in that moment is so beautiful, and again gives it another little spin to make it feel more heartfelt.’

Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) was the victim of a horrific acid attack in Coronation Street, which left him scarred for life and coping with a massive amount of trauma.

Following a visit to Ireland to visit his mum, he returned seemingly in a better frame of mind only for it to become quickly apparent that he’d turned to steroid use to try and bolster his confidence in the aftermath of the attack.

Initially this was linked to a new fitness regime as Ryan tried to gain some control over how he looked.

‘He’s already convinced himself that he’s getting back on his feet and this newfound interest in fitness is going to bring him out of his shell and give him the confidence he needs,’ Ryan Prescott told us. ‘It gives him something to focus on and takes his mind off all the pain he’s been through and the fact he looks so different.’

Along with the changes to his body, however, the steroid abuse has led to some behaviour changes for Ryan and he’s already lashed out at Carla (Alison King) as well as flying into a rage when a group of boys made some comments about his scars in the street.

Ryan’s rage is set to flare up again in upcoming episodes. After injecting himself with steroids, he’s out for a walk with Daisy but at the precinct Max (Paddy Bever) and Gav (Noah Olaoye) are messing around and Ryan accidentally gets sprayed with some fizzy pop.

It’s quite likely that such an experience would trigger huge fear in Ryan as it could cause him to relive the trauma of having acid thrown in his face, so it’s not surprising that he reacts badly to what seems like an innocent incident.

But it’s the severity of his reaction that’s really shocking, as he grabs Gav and pins him to the ground, completely out of control. Daisy and Max have to hold him back before he can give Gav a severe beating.

This incident, however, finally leads Ryan to confront his addiction as he breaks down in tears later and confesses to Daisy that he’s been abusing steroids.

And later he goes online to speak to his followers and removes the filter he usually uses to cover his face. He explains that it’s time to stop lying and says he’s going to close his account because he wants to focus on being himself again.

Is this the light at the end of the tunnel for Ryan?

Beloved Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) broke down in Thursday’s (October 12) episode of EastEnders as his grief surrounding Lola Pearce’s (Danielle Harold) death continued to overwhelm him.

A few weeks ago, Jay met a sex worker called Nadine (Jazzy Phoenix) and has been giving her money after sleeping beside her. Jay said that he’s been struggling to switch off back in Walford, and sleeping beside Nadine – who looks a lot like Lola – was bringing him comfort.

Recently, however, things took a turn when Jay asked to have the ketamine he had found in Nadine’s bedroom.

He admitted that he knows sleeping in her bed isn’t right and wanted to take the drugs so he could be in Albert Square without feeling intense emotions.

Jay’s latest move was discovered by Callum (Tony Clay) who tried to intervene by having Nadine arrested, but things went slightly wrong when the police approached just as Nadine ran away and the drugs landed in Jay’s hands, meaning he was arrested instead.

Tonight, alone in the flat, Jay rang Nadine for more gear.

He grabbed his coat and very nearly left, but glanced at a happy photo of him, Lexi (Isabella Brown) and Lola from a few months ago.

Stopped in his tracks, Jay sat with the photo and cried.

When Callum entered, Jay admitted that he nearly bought more ketamine but changed his mind, and then broke down.

Overwhelmed with everything he was feeling, Jay said to Callum that he didn’t want to lose Lexi and will also organise some sessions with a counsellor – a positive step to help him work through his grief.

Callum hugged Jay, but is this the end of his drug taking…and Nadine?

Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) is a man on a mission in EastEnders – and that mission involves completely destroying Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean).

This week, Keanu’s emotions were tested when Sharon started flirting with a promoter called Dorian.

Dorian ended up offering Sharon a job in Abu Dhabi. Given everything she has been through, Sharon could see the attraction in starting again elsewhere but once Keanu got wind of what was going on, he tried to take control of the situation to prevent his ex from taking Albie away.

The ordeal was obviously picked up by Karen (Lorraine Stanley), who told Keanu that she’s sick of Sharon looking down her nose at them, and they needed to do something about it.

Following a chat with Jay (Jamie Borthwick), who is facing his own struggles in the aftermath of Lola’s (Danielle Harold) death, Keanu returned to the flat and told Karen that he’ll go through with their plan of getting revenge.

Keanu said that he’s willing to marry Sharon and get his name on Albie’s birth certificate – he is prepared to do absolutely everything, and then take it all from her at the last minute.

In the pub, after the boxing match, Keanu discovered that Dorian was actually an incredibly dodgy businessman who had fixed one of the fights. Aware of the impact it could have on Sharon’s business, Keanu raced over to tell her and Phil (Steve McFadden).

Alone with Sharon, Keanu played with her emotions and said that he’ll be sad to see her go to Abu Dhabi – and that he might be regretting calling time on their relationship.

‘I don’t think deception is your strong point’, Sharon said, convinced Keanu was just playing her.

Just as Keanu wondered if it was too late to rekindle things, Sharon hugged him.

The look on Sharon’s face suggested that she might want to get back with him, but the look on Keanu’s? Well, let’s just say lying might be his strong point after all.

It was miraculous that she even survived, but Chloe Harris (Jessie Elland) is far from out of the woods, as she fights for her life in hospital.

Mack Boyd (Lawrence Robb) had pulled his ex Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) to safety, leaving Chloe to plunge down a ravine in a mangled car.

She was rushed to hospital and Mack and Charity have been left anxiously waiting for news.

Well, in between glancing at one another with knowing and guilty looks.

Chloe was rushed into surgery on her brain, with Mack panicking that she wouldn’t make it through this.

Amy and Matty (Natalie Ann Jamieson and Ash Palmisciano) arrived to visit her, and assured Mack that there was nothing more he could have done.

When Chloe came out of surgery, Mack and Amy were informed that she had been placed in an induced coma.

She was being monitored and likely to be brought round in a few days, depending on the swelling.

But there was a concerning warning that brain damage may be a possibility.

Mack went in to speak to Chloe and was taken aback by how frail and vulnerable she looked.

He told her how sorry he was and, kissing her on the head, he told her that he loves her.

Back in the waiting room, Amy asked if he had known what to say to her as it had been hard for her, and Charity mentally noted that Mack didn’t tell her anything he said.

When Mack and Charity were left alone once more, Charity quizzed him over what this means for them – his choice to save her must be a sign of something.

Mack unconvincingly shut this down, describing his decision as a reflex, but Charity stirred the pot by suggesting that it was instinct because of how he feels about her.

An air of uncertainty hangs over the air – will Chloe survive and, if so, in what condition will she wake up in?

And will Mack and Charity really pursue their attraction with all of this going on?
