Robert set to become John's next victim in Emmerdale drugging nightmare
From side-stepping the Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter) drama to fending off his husband's ex, John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) is jumping from one fire to another in Emmerdale, and he's only just holding it together.
Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) unexpectedly and unceremoniously gate-crashed John and Aaron Dingle's (Danny Miller) wedding, disrupting their vows and giving Aaron pause for thought as to whether to go ahead.
Luckily for John, he did, and even more luck came his way when Robert was sent back to prison for breaking his bail conditions.
But John's peace was once again disrupted when a letter arrived from the prison containing a visitation request for Aaron. Initially thinking the visit would tempt Aaron away from his new marriage, John hid the letter, but Aaron proved his loyalty once he found it and threw it in the bin.
John was daft to think it might end there, as though Aaron chose not to visit his ex, Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) did, and found her brother in such a state it left Aaron feeling awful at refusing to show his face.
There's another negative surprise in store for John when not long after, Robert shows up back in the village to make his life a living hell once more.
Robert's time back in the village becomes as eventful as the wedding day when he accidentally gives Vic a black eye. Having only just come home, he decides he must move out.
He gets himself a trial at the depot but John puts pressure on Caleb (William Ash) to end it, leaving Robert gutted when he finds himself being let go. But a bumbling Jai (Chris Bisson) lets slip that it was John's doing.
Robert confronts him, but it only spurs John on further to get this man out of his life. He tries to convince Vic to go to the police and report him for assault, which Robert overhears. He tries to get Aaron onside, but Aaron rejects him.
In response to all this negativity, Robert starts drinking and sleeping around but it doesn't have the desired effect on Aaron, who couldn't care less.

Soaps spoilers next week: Emmerdale killer strikes again and Corrie LSD horror
Robert and John Sugden's rivalry is getting out of control next week in Emmerdale while, in Corrie, the Weatherfield teens are forever changed by a night of partying. Soap fans are set for another rollercoaster next week as some fan favourite characters will be left in the balance. In Emmerdale, John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) is determined to keep half-brother Robert (Ryan Hawley) away from his marriage with Aaron Dingle - but could he claim another life as a result? Over in Coronation Street, Weatherfield residents are trying to move on from the shocking death of PC Craig Tinker, prompting Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) to urge Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) to throw a party on the cobbles. But in true Corrie fashion, the night is set to spiral. Much like ITV viewers, BBC One regulars will face their fair share of ups and downs in EastEnders with Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) struggling to help Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley). But there's more drama on the way in Neighbours, Hollyoaks and Home and Away. Emmerdale Robert feels guilty about hurting Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) and decides to move out. John pressures Caleb (Will Ash) to end Robert's trial employment. Caleb invents a cover story, leaving Robert disappointed - Jai (Chris Bisson) later confirms John's interference. After a tense confrontation with Robert, John tries to convince Victoria to report Robert for hitting her. Overhearing them, Robert is upset and seeks comfort in Aaron (Danny Miller), who rejects him. Distraught, Robert tries to distract himself - only for John to intervene when Robert's date drugs him. John drives off with unconscious Robert in his van, before towering over him with a syringe in hand. Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) mentions Sarah's (Katie Hill) IVF to Cain (Jeff Hordley), assuming he knows and Cain is furious that Jacob is more in the loop than he is. But his angry reaction leaves him at odds with Sarah. She later admits to Jacob that Cain's behaviour has caused her to question herself. Jacob tries to reassure her and when she shares her fears over her mortality, he makes a bombshell proposition. Later, the seriousness of Sarah's cancer operation becomes an unavoidable reality. Elsewhere, Joe (Ned Porteous) hatches a plan to get revenge on Billy (Jay Kontzle) with the help of a newcomer. Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) overhears Tracy (Amy Walsh) making preparations for Nate's funeral and seizes the opportunity to get the Dingles an invite. Coronation Street At Bernie's suggestion, Aadi throws a midsummer party. Carla (Alison King) hands Betsy (Sydney Martin) the keys to the Underworld factory, asking her to lock up. But when Brody (Ryan Mulvey), Dylan (Liam McCheyne) and Lauren (Cait Fitton) walk in, she gets distracted and forgets. The group heads to the party but when Brody shows Dylan a bottle of LSD, telling him he intends to make some money, Dylan is concerned. Meanwhile, romance is in the air for Amy and Aadi but a misunderstanding leaves him hurt. Later, he kicks Brody out of the party after spotting him with LSD but when Brody's gone, Aadi splits the LSD into three cups - and the night takes a devastating turn. High on LSD, Summer (Harriet Bibby) and Nina (Mollie Gallagher) let themselves into the darkened café. When they hear the sound of sirens, they cling on to each other, terrified. Confused, they then try to retrace their steps for answers. But when discussing what they witnessed that night, they agree to stay quiet. Kit (Jacob Roberts) tells Bernie he's had the DNA results through and confirms he's Brody's biological father. Will he keep the news to himself? Elsewhere, Liam (Charlie Wrenshall) confides in Maria (Samia Longchambon) that Gary (Mikey North) isn't answering his calls, after expecting him to return from his mother's. Maria masks her concerns for Liam - but where is Gary? EastEnders Phil worries about Nigel when he goes out barefoot but fears grow when Phil returns home to find chaos. Danger then strikes as Nigel and Phil bicker over a pan of boiling water. Kat (Jessie Wallace) later clocks Phil is injured and, realising something is wrong, presses him to be honest about Nigel's condition. Realising he's in over his head, she visits Phil and suggests he needs extra support to take care of Nigel. Meanwhile, Nigel spirals as he helps Lexi (Isabella Brown) with her homework. Yolande (Angela Wynter) organises a party for Patrick's (Rudolph Walker) birthday and asks Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) to host at The Vic. Elaine agrees, roping in an overwhelmed Linda (Kellie Bright). When Linda is left to hold the first alone, George (Colin Salmon) steps in to help, causing Elaine to lash out. Later, Elaine goes big for Patrick's party, while Denzel (Jaden Ladega) welcomes his friends at the house. After trying to bribe his way in, Joel (Max Murray) takes Denzel to The Vic, where Elaine agrees to let them have a glass of punch each. But things go awry when the teens are left unsupervised. Elsewhere, Nicola (Laura Doddington) and Teddy (Roland Manookian) are concerned for Barney (Lewis Bridgeman) when he fails a chemistry test because of the stress. Nicola tries to cheer him up, but scathing Harry (Elijah Holloway) throws a spanner in the works. Hollyoaks Prince has doubts over throwing a party for Mercedes but she tells her family to continue organising it. Jez is concerned to hear Dodger has planned to meet with Tori's former social worker. Later, Dodger investigates what happened to Dennis. After tracking him down, Jez meets with the social worker, who drops a bombshell about Dennis. Donny arrives on police duty and privately informs Mercedes and Myra that Bobby has escaped the secure home, suspectedly in a social worker's car. Neighbours Andrew and Holly embark on a road trip in search of answers about his biological family while Wendy rushes home for a job interview at the school. She's thrown to learn about Holly's involvement in Andrew's journey for clarity. Meanwhile, Karl is in hospital, subdued and introspective, as Jane secures an interview with Darcy in prison. Elsewhere, Max's mother, Yvette, and sister, Saskia, pay him a visit. But he's shocked when Yvette announces she'd like Saskia to stay in Erinsborough. Home and Away Justin runs into Bree and Remi, desperate to get a message to Theo. Remi agrees - as long as he helps Kirby through her songwriting. When Kirby plays him some of her songs, Justin's feedback is limited. His apparent lack of interest sends her spiralling. Cash is desperate for Eden to go away with him, but she has other ideas, telling Mackenzie to decline on her behalf. But Cash gets Mackenzie on his side with a bombshell. Another shock then rattles the Bay - Eden's mum, Deb.

Let this adult star take you through nooks and crannies of new online safety law
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It's long, it's hard, and now one of the UK's most popular adult film stars has spent 26 minutes tackling it in a hotel room. We're talking, of course, about the Online Safety Act. The law, passed under the Tories two years ago, will soon dramatically change the way randy Brits access porn online. And Ivy Maddox is so keen for the public to pay attention to the ins and outs of the legislation, she spent almost half an hour reading every word of a government explainer out loud for a new video. Titled 'Coming Soon…', the short film is described as Ivy's most 'explicit' yet. It features the actress in a skimpy lace bodysuit, sitting on the edge of a hotel bed beside a hardback copy of the Act. Craig Munro breaks down Westminster chaos into easy to follow insight, walking you through what the latest policies mean to you. Sign up here. She warns viewers that the safe-for-work film they're about to watch will 'include some very big legal obligations', and asks them: 'Are you ready for full compliance?' It's quite a lot to get your chops around, but the meat of the matter is this: from July 25, all websites, apps and other online services hosting online material will need to have age checks in place. That will mean you may need to provide your email address, credit card details, or even a picture of your face to get access to your favourite porn site. If the owners fail to comply with the law, Ofcom can impose fines of up to £18 million or 10% of their qualifying worldwide revenue. Last month, Ofcom said 'most of the largest services' that produce their own porn content have already 'confirmed that they are implementing or have plans to implement age assurance imminently'. But Ivy thought it was important to get the word out there regardless. She told Metro: 'As someone who interacted with hardcore porn by accident when I was in school, I wouldn't want children to view my content – the same way I didn't want to when I was their age. More Trending 'I also thought age verification was an important topic to raise awareness of, as I know that, for the adult and sex worker industry, privacy and compliance are key.' The video was produced in partnership with age check provider Verifymy, which uses services such as email-based age estimation to tell businesses how old their users are. Ivy added: 'It's not my everyday content, but I'm always up for a challenge.' The full film is available to watch online at this link. Don't worry – you won't need to open Incognito mode.

EastEnders' Phil injured in showdown with boiling water amid Nigel story
EastEnders' Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) is injured next week as he starts to feel out of his depth caring for his old friend Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley). Earlier this year, Phil stepped up to become a carer for Nigel, who has early-onset dementia and has been experiencing worsening symptoms in recent weeks. In scenes to air on the BBC soap next week, concerns grow for Phil and how he is coping with his responsibilities after an accident involving Nigel at No. 55. 'This week, there's an incident where Phil is making a meal and needs go out halfway through, so Nigel decides to finish the cooking,' actor Paul Bradley, who plays Nigel, explains. 'Unfortunately, he puts a pan on and forgets about it so when Phil returns, there's a situation that sees them both reaching for the pan.' As they grapple over the pan, Phil gets splashed with boiling water, and while he later tries to hide his injuries, his ex-wife Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) is worried when she notices them. Realising something is wrong, Kat presses Phil to be honest about Nigel's condition, and during their heart-to-heart, she realises Phil is in over his head. 'Phil is struggling but he doesn't show it to Nigel – he's just determined to look after his mate,' Paul says. 'What Phil is doing is very loving, but it's quite a challenge. However, Phil is one of those people who will take on something difficult and take that responsibility on his shoulders.' As such, Phil later refuses Kat's suggestion that he needs extra support to care for Nigel – but things are brought into sharp focus following an incident involving Lexi Pearce (Isabella Brown).
