With discoveries, betrayals and devastating death news on the cards, the biggest soaps are on fire once again next week and we’re advising that you don’t miss a second what’s to come.
Neighbours served big time with its high-octane Flashback Week but the dilemmas and devastation don’t stop there, with more heartbreak approaching in yet another unmissable batch of episodes.
EastEnders, meanwhile, continues to deliver the twists, with Suki Panesar getting more than she bargained for when she walks in on quite the kiss, which ultimately leaves her plotting her escape.
Over in Emmerdale, Rhona Goskirk reels in the wake of Lucy’s tragic death as she contemplates how to cope with the events of the previous week.
Hollyoaks sees Darren Osborne receive life-changing news, while Coronation Street lines up more shocks for Amy Barlow, who is facing up to five years in prison!
For all this and more, Metro.co.uk is bringing you a very detailed look at next week’s soaps so sit back, relax and let the reading begin.
