The spooky season brings high drama in the land of soaps, as confirmed in my brand new spoilers, with unexpected developments all across the genre, making for unsettling viewing.

Emmerdale’s Tom King faces some serious accusations after Nicola becomes concerned about son Carl and how he’s reacting when in the company of his cousin.

Meanwhile over in Coronation Street, DS Swain has some explaining to after daughter Betsy makes a discovery, while EastEnders lines up a truly terrifying Halloween, with The Six’s fate up in the air once again as devilish Nish Panesar closes in.

Trust me, it’s intense!

In Hollyoaks, Frankie Osborne struggles in the wake of news about abuser JJ, with best friend Lucas Hay offering her support while Neighbours legend Paul Robinson makes an upsetting discovery of his own about ex-wife Terese Willis.

Next week is a big one for quite a few of the soaps and if you can’t wait until then to find out what’s on offer then you’ll be pleased to know that I have everything you could possibly need, in the form of ALL the spoilers.

EastEnders

1. Nish grows suspicious of The Six after overhearing a clandestine meeting between Kathy and Suki and, later, he rumbles their secret get-together.

Suki later lures The Six to No. 41 under place pretences and things escalate, with the matriarchs coming to realise they’re in grave danger. After closing on Halloween, they await their fate as Nish summons them to The Vic.
