Emmerdale's Joe Tate fights back with unexpected move to take down Crowley
The businessman, as viewers know, is used to being in control of just about every situation, using people as pawns in his games in order to get what he wants.
Crowley, however, has managed to hit him where it hurts, with Joe realising earlier this week that he very much does not have the upper hand in this particular dynamic and situation.
After threatening to remove his kidney – the very kidney he placed in Joe just months ago – Crowley demanded that the young Tate hand over all his cash, rendering him penniless.

But this was just the beginning, with another twist confirming that the dastardly doctor is none other than Kim's new beau – and he's intent on stealing her fortune too!
Playing with fire there, Crowley. More Trending
Next week, the dodgy doc continues to woo Kim, who doesn't suspect any foul play as she grows closer to him. Joe, meanwhile, is very much on Kim's side in this war and thus he makes it his mission to stop Crowley's mad plan to steal her fortune.
Taking action, Joe organises a rendezvous with Crowley, who finds himself staring down the barrel of a gun upon arrival.
The question is: will Joe come out victorious? Can he reclaim his power? Or will Crowley be one step ahead?

Who is Oscar Branning in EastEnders and who plays him?
Oscar Branning has made a grand return to EastEnders this week, kickstarting BBC soap boss Ben Wadey's vision to strengthen the family. Speaking of actor Pierre Moullier's casting in the role, the executive producer said: 'I'm very excited to bring Oscar Branning back to Walford and introduce viewers to him now that he's all grown up. 'Oscar is very much a Branning which means there's going to be plenty of drama in store this summer. 'We're delighted to welcome Pierre as he takes on the role and can't wait for viewers to see him bring Oscar to life.' It'll soon become apparent that he's landed himself in hot water, and his family will be forced to rally around to settle him down. Before long, he cements himself in Albert Square history, taking over the fruit and veg stall. The character, who was born on screen in 2007, is the son of Max (Jake Wood) and Tanya Branning (Jo Joyner). This makes him the youngest brother of Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) and the late Bradley and Abi (Charlie Clements and Lorna Fitzgerald). Oscar also has a younger sister, Annie, who he's yet to learn of. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video She was born as a result of a brief romance between Max and Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), and with the child living on Albert Square, it can't be long before the siblings are introduced! The last time we saw Oscar, he was portrayed by child star Charlee Hall, who had shared the role with his brother Neo. As a result, he was never at the centre of a huge story – though could be heard quite prominently during the reveal of Max's affair with Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) in 2007. Following the explosive fall out in that iconic Christmas Day episode, the youngster was crying upstairs. Tanya rushed to attend to him and pack her bags, and was sent tumbling down the staircase. Since 2013 he's been living with his mum in Exeter, though occasionally took trips to visit Max. The character was last seen in the Square in 2021 when series star Jake quit to pursue other projects. Max decided it was time to leave to join daughter Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) and grandson Louie in New Zealand. However, shortly afterwards, he was based in France. His brother Jack (Scott Maslen) paid him a visit, bringing along Max's granddaughter Abi Jr to they could reunite. When Jack returned to Walford, he revealed that his brother had fled to Croatia to raise the child. It's not known how long it's been since Oscar and Max last saw one another, but there's bound to be some tension upon the latter's return later this summer. Pierre Moullier has starred in a number of productions at The Young Vic theatre, including The Surplus and My England. More Trending In 2019, he played Aaron in BBC Three short Oi, Pussy. In the same year he was a stunt performer in Netflix's Fate: The Winx Saga. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

EastEnders is his first major screen role – and a number of fans have already picked up on how strikingly similar he is in appearance to on-screen father Jake Wood. According to Pierre's Spotlight, he has a playing age of 17-21. He left school in 2018, meaning he's either 24 or 25 years old. View More » This makes him roughly seven or eight years older than Oscar, which is not uncommon in soap operas when casting younger roles. For example, his co-star Aaliyah James is 25, but her character Avani Nandra-Hart recently celebrated her 16th birthday on screen.

TV fans have just hours to binge ‘bonkers' drama before new season launches
One of the hottest entries into the 'it's terrible but I can't stop watching' 2023 category of TV drama was over on Channel 4. The first season of the frothy swingers drama The Couple Next Door was pretty panned by critics – with a 38% rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes – but viewers couldn't get enough. In fact, the season became Channel 4's biggest scripted streaming launch ever, with the first episode garnering more than a million streams in its first week. Starring Sam Heughan and Eleanor Tomlinson, the six-part run saw a young couple move to the 'burbs, only to become a bit overly friendly with their neighbours – with dire consequences. The second season turns the show into an anthology, with only an initial nod to the couples of the first season via a newspaper frontpage, before we meet a new foursome set to swap beds. The one mainstay, besides the Belgian filming location masking for outer Leeds, is Hugh Dennis's cul-de-sac creep Alan (although he's now somewhat reformed, doing community service). To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The new season focuses on the medically inclined power couple of Charlotte (Annabel Scholey) and her husband Jacob (Sam Palladio). She's a heart surgeon, he's an anaesthetist. But when a new nurse Mia (Aggy K Adams) joins their hospital and then decides to rent the vacant house next door to them, their marriage is turned upside down. A complicated situation is worsened by the return of Charlotte's handsome and clearly-still-into-her ex Leo (Heroes' Sendhil Ramamurthy). Senior TV Reporter Rebecca Cook shares her take… If you enjoyed the first season of the swinging Leeds neighbours, you'll be happy to hear this is more of the same – and perhaps better. But if you were among the naysayers, probably best to look away now (it's not improved that considerably). They've done away with some of the yawnsome filler of last season (criminal conspiracy, the strains of local journalism albeit from someone who can afford a humongous house), instead focusing on the character drama with a side of kink. This erotic entanglement is a touch less silly than the last, largely because of one thing: Annabel Scholey. The Split star elevates what is quite soapy material because she's just very good at what she does. Even when it's shooting dangerous looks from under some scrubs. The mysterious Mia from Norway crashes into the couple's 'sex Wednesdays' routine for scenes that are, yes, still a bit overplayed. But if you're coming into this second season from the first, you already know what you're in for. Loosely adapted from the Dutch drama Fatal Injections, the first season was billed a cheesy erotic thriller. Duncan Whittaker wrote on Google reviews that he 'loved it,' adding: 'The ending was such a bonkers bit of fun.' More Trending Jo Austin added: 'It was all a bit daft but entertaining and enjoyable enough.' However, not everyone was completely on board with the season (hence the hate watch adjacent reputation) with Helen Johnson labelling it 'ridiculous!' before adding: 'I've only seen one episode but I laughed several times (and it's not a comedy!).' Not holding back, Dean Skutela added: 'One of the worst programmes I've ever watched. I kept praying for it to get better but it just kept getting worse.'
