A number of returns rock the land of soap next week, with familiar faces arriving back just in time to cause chaos for their loved ones.
EastEnders sees the return of Emma Harding, played by Patsy Kensit, who has proven popular with fans. The residents of the show, however, aren’t quite as fussed on her, so expect some serious conflict.
Over in Hollyoaks, Felix Westwood stages his comeback, though Mercedes McQueen isn’t quite as pleased to see him as you might’ve thought, given what she’s been up to in his absence.
The scandal. The drama. We love it.
Coronation Street, meanwhile, sees Tyrone Dobbs left with a big decision to make after Evelyn Plummer issues him with an ultimatum, and Emmerdale is home to more upset for Cathy, who lashes out shortly after receiving a diagnosis.
