Hollyoaks confirms unexpected new love interest for Clare Devine in dark story
Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix) ups the ante in Hollyoaks next week as part of her plan to get Tori (Harriet O'Shea) back in her life – and she uses Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) in order to do so.
The legendary schemer, who has done some pretty bad things in her time, stated earlier this week that she had been diagnosed with cancer, claiming the treatment isn't working.
In typical Clare fashion, there is no truth to such claims and the development came rather out of the blue, with the villain devising the plan after a trip to the hospital to visit sister Grace Black (Tamara Wall).
Upon seeing patients receiving treatment, she formulated a plan, hoping she could use her cancer claims as a way to manipulate herself back into daughter Tori's life.
Dodger, who had been hostile towards Clare previously over her role in the exploitation operation, softened once she stated that she had cancer.
Sienna Blake (Anna Passey), however, knew full well that Clare was up to no good, urging her brother to proceed with caution where the returnee is concerned.

Clare subsequently asked Dodger for help in shaving her head – and he complied, with a spark seemingly forming between the two.
Determined to get Tori back, Clare capitalises on this growing connection next week, with new pictures shared with Metro revealing a first look at the scenes to come.
Dodger stumbles upon Clare in a seemingly weakened state and, horrified, he offers to lend a hand.
With the undercover cop falling for her lies almost instantly, Clare is delighted and thus she proceeds with the next step of her plan, which entails making him feel very guilty over taking Tori from her given her condition.
Mission accomplished.

The pair grow incredibly close but a phone call interrupts them, scuppering Clare's plot. For now. More Trending
Ever the opportunist, the schemer concocts a plan to get Dodger over to the flat later in the week. Dodger apologises for thinking she had a role to play in her late husband's crimes.
The chemistry sizzles and Dodger starts to worry that the lines are getting blurred as he comes to realise that he's starting to fall for Clare.
Will Clare succeed in getting what she wants? Or will Dodger see through her lies before it's too late?

Incredible films that were shot on an iPhone including star-studded 28 Years Lat
While there is endless filmmaking equipment out there costing from hundreds to £80,000 (and more), you would have thought the most anticipated horror film of 2025 might be using gear at the higher end of the scale… Right? Wrong. If you're saving up for the best camera in the business to film your next project, you may just be wasting your time. Why not just use your iPhone? Everyone else is, including Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later, which Metro has given 5 big fat emotional stars in our review. It's not the first time this has happened, either. Here are all the films you might not know were filmed primarily using an iPhone. One even made it to the Oscars. Hitting cinemas on Friday and starring Jodie Comer and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the hotly-anticipated sequel to 28 Days Later used an adapted iPhone 15 for the job, making the Hollywood thriller – with its $75million budget – the biggest film to be shot with a phone to date. In 2002, 28 Days Later was one of the first Hollywood feature films to be shot with a Canon XL-1 for an intentionally low-fi look. This new flick – which kicks off a new trilogy for the franchise – took inspiration from its original. Boyle recently explained why he used an adapted iPhone 15 for the job during the London premiere of the film. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The director told The Independent: 'We decided to shoot it on the upgrade of a domestic video camera. That's smartphones, they're everywhere. They are lightweight in the countryside. You can create special rigs with them, filming the violence. But also you can give it to the actors and they can film themselves sometimes. 'Horror movies let you refresh the palate – you don't have to go classical.' He also added to Business Insider: 'Any smartphone now can record at 4K, indeed up to 60 frames per second, which is more than enough resolution you need for cinema exhibition.' Boyle went on to reveal how they utilised farm animals to help, explaining: 'We did strap a camera to some animals a couple of times — yeah, a goat.' Nice. Stormzy's new film Big Man was fortunate enough to get their hands on an iPhone 16 Pro for filming… Eat your hear out Danny Boyle. Slow-motion scenes were captured in 4K 120 fps, while cinematic mode was also used to blur backgrounds. Apple's short film tells the story of Tenzman, a fed up musician played by Stormzy whose life is changed by two youngsters when they embark on a journey together. 'I've never shot an entire piece of narrative filmmaking on an iPhone before, and it's been a really invigorating process,' director Aneil Karia said. 'iPhone is much smaller than the traditional cameras used for television, film, or music videos, and the lightness and flexibility that comes with that is boundless in a sense. 'I like trying to strive for an intimacy with characters, and sometimes a big camera is not particularly conducive for that.' Psychological thriller Unsane, starring Claire Foy and Joshua Leonard, was filmed entirely on an iPhone 7 Plus. Unsane follows a stalking victim called Sawyer Valentini (Foy) who is trapped in a mental institution against her will. The 2018 film became one of the most high-profile uses of iPhone filming (until 28 Years Later) as its prominent director Steven Soderbergh championed the method through it. 'I think this is the future,' he told Indiewire. 'Anyone going to see this movie without any idea of the backstory to the production will have no idea this was shot on the phone.' Soderbergh's second iPhone-only film came hot off the heels of Unsane in the form of NBA drama High Flying Bird. This time though, an iPhone 8 was used. Fancy! In it Andre Holland stars as sports agent Ray Burke who tries to accelerate a rookie player's career in an unusual way. While it seems unlikely an iPhone would be able to capture the subtle details that make up a tense, dramatic sports film, it's largely focused on the chatter around the gamerather than the game itself. 'It was shot in February and March of 2018, in three weeks. It's a very small crew and the gear that's available to enhance this already pretty extraordinary capture-device made it even better,' Soderbergh told The Hollywood Reporter. 'So, if I had to do it in a more traditional way, it would have actually hurt the film. I was able to do things because of the ease of shooting something. 'You can basically shoot anything you can think of, you can put the lens anywhere you want. If I were in a more traditional mode, there were things that I wouldn't have been able to execute as well as I'd wanted, because of the size of the equipment and people necessary to move it around.' Tangerine, a 2015 film by Sean Baker – who swept the board at the Oscars this year with Anora – was shot entirely on an iPhone 5s using the FiLMIC Pro App, which gives further focus, aperture and colour temperature control. The independent film, which was met with critical praise and was Sundance Film Festival's breakout movie, was shot using an iPhone to keep costs low. 'It was surprisingly easy,' Baker told The Verge. 'We never lost any footage.' Alongside the help of the $8 app, Baker used a Steadicam to stabilise the footage. 'These phones, because they're so light, and they're so small, a human hand – no matter how stable you are – it will shake. And it won't look good,' he explained. They also used an adapter lens that was attached to the iPhone, which was 'essential' to make it cinematic. 'To tell you the truth, I wouldn't have even made the movie without it,' he said. 'It truly elevated it to a cinematic level.' 2012's Oscar-winning film Searching for Sugar Man follows two fans of a South African icon – believed to be dead – as they set out to learn his true fate. More Trending While Swedish filmmaker Malik Bendjelloul didn't set out for the film to make this list, he ran out of money so was forced to use an iPhone for the final shots. 'I started shooting this film with a Super 8 camera, which is pretty expensive stuff. I completely ran out of money. I had just a very few shots left, but I needed those shots,' he told CNN in an interview. 'I realised that there was this app on my iPhone and I tried it and it looked basically the same.' The iPhone App in question was called 8mm Vintage Camera, which did a decent job at imitating a real 8mm camera. Good to know. Got a story?

Liam and Noel Gallagher pictured together for first time since Oasis reunion new
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Noel and Liam Gallagher have posed for their second public snap together in 15 years, since Oasis' sudden 2009 split and almighty fall out. In August the bickering brothers announced a huge reunion tour, posing for a black and white picture together to celebrate the momentous occasion. The brothers have now publicly joined forces for the second time to promote their Adidas partnership, marking the first time Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, have been photographed together since the Oasis comeback news. The new image, posted on Adidas' social media on Thursday, showed the pair dressed in the fresh designs branded with 'Oasis', and was captioned: 'The band with three stripes.' Fittingly, the advert for the collaboration features historic clips from Knebworth to Heaton Park, and Wembley to Rio, emotionally soundtracked by Oasis' 1994 hit Live Forever. The clip comes to a crescendo of Liam and Noel posing moodily side-by-side – not hugging just yet – as they stare into the camera wearing their Adidas gear, seemingly gearing up for the stage. Oasis and Adidas are also teaming up for an Oasis Live '25 apparel collection, which sees their classic 90s looks modernised. Just a month short of 16 years since Noel announced he could no longer work with his brother Liam, the Britpop legends will be taking to the stage once more on July 5. They are performing in Cardiff, before heading to their native Manchester for a five-night run, and London's Wembley Stadium at the end of the month. Edinburgh and Dublin dates are set for August, before Noel and Liam head over to kick off the North America leg of their tour. Fear not though: the brothers will (hopefully) be back, getting on like a champagne supernova in the sky (fingers crossed), to perform two more Wembley shows in September. The Adidas campaign comes after Edinburgh City Council expressed concern about Oasis' gigs in Murrayfield Stadium. The dates come in the middle of the famed Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which takes over the city for the month of August. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video In the official papers, the council called Oasis fans mainly 'middle-aged men' who 'take up more room', as reported by The Sun. They also expressed concerns about the amount they might drink, explaining they expect 'medium to high intoxication' and a 'substantial amount of older fans' amongst the 210,000 punters on August 8, 9 and 12. Not one to ever hold back, Liam shared his thoughts… More Trending 'To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about OASIS fans and quite frankly your attitude f***ing stinks I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot,' he said, adding: 'I'd love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council bet there's some real STUNING individuals.' In an update about the Oasis Live shows, a source who was at one of the band's rehearsals told The Sun: 'Oasis have never sounded better. They were playing Cigarettes & Alcohol and Liam's vocals sounded really good. '[Liam's impressive vocals] were probably down to the two packets of Lockets cough sweets that he was sucking throughout the rehearsal.' The source added: 'You could hear Noel's lead guitar really well and he sounded so good too. To hear them playing live, and playing so loudly, was an incredible moment.' Got a story?
