Heartbreak is on its way to soapland next week, from Emmerdale to Albert Square and Weatherfield. But small soaps are also expected to deliver their own bombshells.
One killer in the Yorkshire Dales decides it's time to come clean next week in Emmerdale, while another Corrie favourite could make a huge move to Thailand.
Coronation Street legend Sue Cleaver is on her way out of the ITV soap after portraying Eileen Grimshaw for more than two decades. And with her son Jason (Ryan Thomas) back on the cobbles, she may receive an offer that's too good to refuse in upcoming scenes.
‌
Back in the Dales, Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) has struggled to cope in the aftermath of her father Anthony's murder. But when a body is dredged out of the lake next week, she believes walls are closing in on her and makes a clear-headed decision that could have dire repercussions.
‌
In EastEnders, Peter Beale (Thomas Law) is reeling from the discovery that his new-born son Jimmy, was diagnosed as severely sight impaired - and Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) pays the price. Meanwhile, more twists are ahead in Hollyoaks, Neighbours and Home and Away.
Emmerdale
Ruby, Cain (Jeff Hordley), Caleb (Will Ash) and Chas (Lucy Pargeter) are terrified that the body found in the lake is Anthony. Fears are fueled when Chas learns the body had been under the lake for months.
Ruby decides to confess but Caleb suggests they both flee. She agrees, but soon slips out. At the police station, Ruby opens up about the years of abuse she endured and makes it clear Caleb had nothing to do with Anthony's disappearance.
Before long, the body in the lake is revealed to be Nate's. The police arrive to give Tracy (Amy Walsh) the bad news. Cain and Moira (Natalie J Robb) are blindsided when DC Cole also reveals that the body is so decomposed, Cain can't even visit his own son. But soon, Cain is under scrutiny when Tracy recounts Nate's last days in the village.
April (Amelia Flanagan) is struggling to revise for her GCSEs and Marlon's (Mark Charnock) heart breaks when she panics during an exam. Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) suggests that April might benefit from redoing the year.
‌
The teen wants a summer job and bags a trial shift at Take A Vow. She soon finds herself at a christening, where she's caught up by a ghost of her past. Elsewhere, Eric (Chris Chittell) shuns Tracy's offer to help but he regrets his decision when he falls and there is nobody around to help.

‌
Jason calls in the Rovers and after chatting up Danielle (Natalie Anderson), he leads her into a booth. Jason mentions his brother Todd (Gareth Pierce) and Danielle is shocked. When Jason suggests Eileen moves to Thailand to be his business partner, what will she say?
Tracy (Kate Ford) flirts with Carl (Jonathan Howard) at the garage to make Steve jealous. When Carl receives a text from Fiona telling him they should meet, a jealous Abi (Sally Carman-Duttine) assumes it's a girlfriend.
Fiona later calls at the garage and Tracy is intrigued to hear Carl describe himself as the boss. Abi then watches as Carl cosies up to Tracy and when he leaves, she makes out that Carl is a serial womaniser and it'd be best for Tracy to steer clear.
‌
A stressed Sean (Antony Cotton) warns Lou (Farrel Hegarty) that Dylan (Liam McCheyne) is due home from the STC and he doesn't want any trouble from Brody.
Sean wants to celebrate Dylan's release with a special lunch but Dylan suggests a low-key meal at the cafe instead. Brody enters the cafe and Sean promises Dylan that he'll protect him. Dylan tells his dad that Brody's the one who should watch out.

Later, Harvey tries to recruit some of Kat's drivers as investors but she overhears and scuppers his business plans. Nicola (Laura Doddington) gives Harvey advice and he asks Kat to be his business partner.
Tension builds up between Lauren and Peter as he struggles with baby Jimmy's diagnosis. Lauren is overwhelmed by well-wishers in Walford and tries to get Peter to join her, but he dismisses her pleas.
