Jacob furious in Emmerdale as he makes unexpected discovery about Sarah
In an emotional moment, Emmerdale's Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) revealed her cancer diagnosis to Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) and is now suffering with regret.
During her check ups as part of her IVF journey to have a baby, Sarah learned she had cervical cancer. The doctors explained they'd need to remove her cervix.
While this was devastating to the teen, learning that they'd leave her womb and ovaries softened the blow. She could still carry a baby despite battling a life-halting illness.
In shock at the news, a distraught Sarah ran into Jacob and confessed all about her condition.
Initially supportive, Jacob quicky became judgemental when he learned Sarah planned to have a baby despite having a short life expectancy. He branded her selfish.
But then he learned he was the only person in the world that knew exactly what was going on with his ex and he berated her for keeping it to herself. What a pal. More Trending
Sarah had tried to tell her gran and grumpy what was going on ahead of her cancer diagnosis, but they were both too wrapped up in their own worlds having learned Debbie had done a flit to Australia.

EastEnders' Shane Ritchie's bid for David Jason to join soap
Appearing on The One Show, Ritchie, 61, who plays Alfie Moon in the BBC soap, spoke about EastEnders' award-winning streak at the British Soap Awards last week. The cast were presented the award for Best Soap by none other than Only Fools and Horses legend Sir David Jason – and it would appear that Ritchie would love to get him to become a Walford resident. Speaking on The One Show last night (June 11), Ritchie told hosts Alex Jones and Angellica Bell that he is 'trying' to get David Jason involved. "Well, we got presented the award by David Jason, and now this is between us," Richie joked with fellow guest, Marvel star Jeremy Renner, and the hosts. "Davis Jason, big famous actor, say nothing, I'm trying to get him into EastEnders," Richie continued. He jokingly turned to the camera and said: "Turn over, watch something else, you don't want to see this," before adding: "I'm trying to get him into it." When Bell asked him whether he had spoken to Jason about it, Richie said: "I don't know yet! I might take him out for a beer." It appears that Shane Ritchie would not be the only one who would love to see Sir David on the Square. Fans were delighted that the 85-year-old presented the soap award to the EastEnders cast, taking to social media to sing his praises. 'Witnessing the David Jason presenting the award for best soap and then EastEnders winning might be one of the most surreal things I have ever experienced,' one person said on X. 'Sir David Jason announcing EastEnders for Best Soap?! My worlds have collided, and I can't cope,' another added. Others tweeted: 'Dreaming that David Jason has joined #EastEnders' and 'David Jason would be brilliant in #EastEnders!" During The Only Fools and Horses Story – a TV special that aired in 2021 to mark the 40th anniversary of the sitcom – Sir David suggested how EastEnders' Queen Vic could have been a "meeting place" to set the scene for more humour, like The Nag's Head.

"They laugh, they cry. They take the mick out of each other. They go on trips together down the pub. "One of the great things I think John (Sullivan) did, which I'm very pleased to say and I'd wished they perhaps taken note at EastEnders, is that the pub was the central meeting place and it's full of very, very amusing characters." EastEnders airs on Mondays to Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One.

Grange Hill cast now, from tragic death to cancer battle and addiction
Grange Hill ran for three decades and launched the careers of many child actors, while others have struggled to cope with the fame and fortune that came with it Grange Hill, the groundbreaking BBC drama that first aired in 1978, was a school where detention wasn't just a threat and important social issues were brought to light. The show offered a realistic and honest look at the lives of secondary school pupils, tackling everything from racism and bullying to drug addiction and teenage pregnancy. The programme ran for three decades, amassing a vast alumni of child actors, many of whom became household names. However, not all of them stayed in the limelight; some faded from view or faced difficult personal battles. Let's take a look at where some of the most memorable stars are now: Lee MacDonald (Zammo McGuire) Zammo's harrowing heroin addiction storyline in the mid-1980s became one of the most talked-about plots in British television history. Played by Lee MacDonald, Zammo was a bright student whose descent into addiction shocked viewers and sparked a nationwide campaign: the now-iconic Just Say No anti-drugs initiative, supported by Nancy Reagan herself, reports the Daily Record. After leaving Grange Hill, Lee struggled to find acting roles, later admitting that the association with drug addiction – albeit fictional – resulted in prejudice in casting offices. A keen amateur boxer, his sporting ambitions were dashed by a car accident, and he eventually opened a locksmith business in Wallington, Surrey. However, Lee's television career was far from finished. He made appearances in The Bill, Celebrity Scissorhands, and even returned to EastEnders in 2019 as Terry. In 2020, he popped the question to his long-term girlfriend Jess, and they tied the knot in 2022. More recently, in June 2024, Lee shared that he had been diagnosed with a form of skin cancer, but reassured fans that he was receiving treatment after catching it early. Todd Carty (Tucker Jenkins) Tucker Jenkins wasn't just a character – he was a sensation. Portrayed by Todd Carty, Tucker was a rebel with a heart, whose popularity led to the successful spin-off series, Tucker's Luck. Todd's career took off post-Grange Hill, especially when he joined EastEnders as Mark Fowler in 1990. Mark's HIV diagnosis was a groundbreaking storyline for soaps and earned Todd critical praise. He later completely changed gears, playing the sinister PC Gabriel Kent in The Bill, a storyline that delved into dark and disturbing territory. Todd also gained unexpected fame on Dancing on Ice in 2009, when a botched move saw him accidentally skate off the rink mid-routine – a moment that has lived on in viral clips ever since. Now aged 60, Todd resides in Muswell Hill with his long-term partner Dina Clarkin, a writer and producer. They have two sons and run their own production company. Susan Tully (Suzanne Ross) Susan Tully, who initially gained fame as the feisty Suzanne Ross in the early '80s, later became a household name for her role as Michelle Fowler in EastEnders. Her portrayal of a teenage mum impregnated by none other than 'Dirty' Den Watts made her one of the most captivating characters on the soap. However, it's behind the scenes where Susan has truly excelled. She transitioned to directing in the 1990s and has since helmed high-profile shows such as Line of Duty, Tin Star, Silent Witness, and Too Close. Known for her focused, character-driven approach, she is now one of the most esteemed directors in British television. John Alford (Robbie Wright) John Alford, who played Robbie Wright, had a promising career after Grange Hill, finding further success in London's Burning and even launching a short-lived pop career. However, last year he was charged with four counts of sexual activity with a child, as well as two - relating to a second female - of sexual assault and assault by penetration. He is set to face trial in August. Terry Sue-Patt (Benny Green) Terry Sue-Patt portrayed Benny Green, Grange Hill's first black character and a fan favourite. A gifted footballer discovered in a London park, he also starred in the gritty Gary Oldman film The Firm. Regrettably, Terry passed away in 2015 at the age of 50. His body was found in his Walthamstow flat, reportedly having been undiscovered for a month. He struggled with alcoholism in his later years, and several fellow cast members paid tribute to him on social media. Erkan Mustafa (Roland Browning) Roland, or "Roly", was a character that many viewers sympathised with due to his weight-related bullying. The role was played by Erkan Mustafa, who later confessed that acting wasn't his first career choice. After Grange Hill, he continued to act in minor roles and eventually turned his attention to writing. In various interviews, Erkan has expressed his fondness for his time on Grange Hill, appreciating the lifelong friendships it brought him. He also featured in a short film, The All-Nighter, in 2018. Donald Waugh (Hughesy) Donald Waugh portrayed Hughesy in the late '70s before moving on to theatre work and launching a successful career. However, he experienced homelessness and alcohol addiction after leaving acting. He managed to turn his life around and now assists others facing similar challenges, attending fan reunions and openly discussing recovery. James Jebbia (Tommy Watson) An interesting tidbit: James Jebbia, the founder of the streetwear empire Supreme, originally played Tommy Watson in series one. Paul McCarthy took over the role in later series. Upon leaving Grange Hill, James relocated to New York and started working in the fashion industry. By 1994, he had established Supreme, a cult brand now worth over $1 billion. James maintains a notoriously low profile, but Vanity Fair reported in 2017 that Supreme was generating more than $500 million annually. Simone Nylander (Janet St Clair) Janet, Roly's sweet and loyal friend, was portrayed by Simone Nylander from 1982 to 1986. Post-show, she ventured into production work, collaborating with Simon Fuller's 19 Management. In 2020, she launched SN Voices, a voiceover agency championing diverse talent, merging her love for performance and representation in media. Alison Bettles (Fay Lucas) Alison Bettles brought the fan-favourite character Fay Lucas to life and was part of the impactful Just Say No campaign. She continued her acting career into the '90s, featuring in The Bill, No Strings, and an EastEnders wartime special, making her final appearance in 2001. Now a mother of four, Alison works as a beauty therapist and reportedly manages a freight business. Two of her sons have followed her into the acting world, securing roles in Doctor Who and EastEnders. Paula-Ann Bland (Claire Scott) Paula-Ann Bland, who played Claire Scott, made headlines when her diary fantasy about a teacher caused uproar. Off-screen, Paula-Ann released a cover of The Loco-Motion and continued acting - even surprising audiences by posing topless for men's magazine Mayfair - before stepping back from the industry. In the 1990s, she ran boutique shoe shops in London and established a PR firm. Now a mother of two, she has battled breast cancer and serves as an ambassador for The Good Grief Trust.

Coronation Street fans ‘work out' what really happened to Lisa's ex Becky
Fans of DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) in Coronation Street are continuing to learn small pieces of information about her ex partner Becky. The local detective, who is in a relationship with Carla Connor (Alison King), was previously with her colleague Becky. The character, who we've never met, died on duty. Swain previously explained how Becky had been chasing an assailant, who jumped into a getaway car and mowed her down, with Becky dying at the scene. Lisa reflected on Becky's death once more recently, when dedicated police officer Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) was also killed on duty. Craig was attacked by Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton), who had found out about Brody (Ryan Mulvey) not being his son shortly before. Craig attempted to gain control of the intense moment, but Mick hit him with a cricket bat, and he died in hospital. This week, Lisa told Carla more about Becky's life as a copper. She revealed that, before her death, Becky was being investigated by the anti-corruption unit, and Lisa was keen to keep that information from Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin). Lisa emotionally opened up about how she and Becky had fought over the allegations the day Becky was killed, and though the investigation was dropped, she didn't get the funeral she deserved. As a result of this development, a few fans of the ITV soap are starting to wonder if Becky might be alive. Taking to social media platform X, this user said: I can't cope with the Becky being alive theories but I also can't stop reading them!!!.' Passionate Swarla fan Sophie wrote a thread on the site, noting the possibility of Becky featuring in the Corrie and Emmerdale crossover episode at the start of next year. This fan said: Becky is 'NOT' alive, nope, nope, nope!!! Wait….Just don't go there, I'm begging you please! Not on my watch.' Amid these comments though, plenty of audience members are hoping the theory won't prove to be true. More Trending 'Becky Is Not Still Alive', this user wrote, while another simply said: 'Becky is not alive becky is not alive becky is not alive.'

Swain attempted to talk to Betsy about her mum, but when Betsy insisted that she hadn't read the letter because she wasn't interested in knowing who her sperm donor was, Lisa decided to keep quiet about what the letter was really about. Unfortunately, Betsy wasn't being entirely honest either, as she later revealed to Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) that she knew exactly what the letter was about. She confessed that she was convinced Becky's hit and run had been a coverup of some sort, and asked Lauren for her help in getting to the bottom of things.
