Soaps spoilers next week: Emmerdale Joe's sick plan and Corrie couple's brutal split
The Dingles recently waved goodbye to one of their own amid Nate Robinson's explosive funeral and memorial - but the iconic Emmerdale family is dealt another blow next week.
Joe Tate (played by Ned Porteous) is keen to help step-grandmother Kim (Claire King) get her hands on the Dingles' land, leaving Moira (Natalie J Robb) in a tricky situation - and possible on the streets.
In Coronation Street, Carl (Jonathan Howard) and Abi's (Sally Carman) unspoken chemistry continues to wreak havoc - but the fallout may be irreversible.
Elsewhere, EastEnders ' Oscar (Pierre Moullier) does everything in his power to ignore his past while Stacey (Lacey Turner) and the rest of the Slaters remember Martin Fowler. And there's more to come in Hollyoaks, Neighbours and Home and Away.
Emmerdale

EastEnders addresses Ozzy Osbourne and England's Lionesses in special scene
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video EastEnders has paid tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne and celebrated England's Lionesses win against Italy in a specially recorded topical scene. The BBC soap is no stranger to last-minute additions that help to cement the fictional world of Walford into reality. Over the years we've seen everything from sporting results, the death of Michael Jackson, Royal weddings and Presidential elections dropped into conversation, all filmed on the day of broadcast. Last night's episode was no exception, with a brief chat between Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) and Callum Highway (Tony Clay) discussing the previous night's footy results. Ironically, it was this match that took the show off air. He asked her how she was coping after handing over the The Queen Vic to Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace), to which she responded: 'Well, I can't be too down after that England match. I mean, 2-1?' With the two genres not really going hand in hand, you might not be aware that our women's team reached Sunday's Euro 2025 final with a dramatic comeback win against Italy during extra time. 'I'm going to tell you something, there's going to be a lot of kids named Michelle and Chloe in nine months time,' Elaine continued, referencing players Michelle Agyemang and Chloe Kelly who stepped up from the sub's bench and scored the winning goals. Callum then said it would be 'weird' watching the final without Elaine behind the bar. Elaine then joked that Kat would have to put a swear pot in front of her grandmother Mo Harris (Laila Morse) on Sunday, and that way she'll be able to retire. She then mentioned the ongoing love affair between Callum and her grandson Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff), who is away on a cruise with mum Linda (Kellie Bright). The atmosphere turned frosty and they both parted ways. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?

Black Sabbath's Paranoid could clearly be heard belting out from the market, in a nod to the band's front man Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on Tuesday aged 76. More Trending The 'prince of darkness' died in the UK, just weeks after his final performance. 'Omg I loved that new scene put in between Callum and Elaine, nice touch with Ozzy playing in the background,' said one viewer on X. 'Loved the mention of the footie & hearing Ozzy singing in the background. Well done #eastenders,' said another. View More » A third added: 'Touch of class having Ozzy playing in the background!

Tamzin Outhwaite reveals her eldest child is transgender and admits she regrets her reaction
EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite shares her two kids, Flo, 17 and Marine, 12, with ex-husband Tom Ellis. Tamzin Outhwaite has announced that her eldest child is transgender. The EastEnders star confessed she was 'distressed' when Flo first came out seven years ago, but now has no problem in saying she has a son and a daughter rather than two daughters. The 54-year-old soap star, who played Mel Owen in the BBC soap, said she wishes she could go back and change her initial reaction to the news. Tamzin said she found things difficult at first and she and Flo both went to family therapy to help work through it. She said: "The way I reacted at the very beginning I would love to change because I think until you're going through it yourself with your child it's very difficult to judge other people or to judge a situation because you don't expect that to happen to you or your child. "What I did initially, I was like 'don't be ridiculous', I didn't say don't be ridiculous but my mind went to 'that's ludicrous' and working back from that to talking through it" Outhwaite shares her two kids, Flo, 17, and Marnie, 12, with fellow actor Tom Ellis who she divorced in 2014, the Mirror reports. Speaking on the Parenting Hell podcast, she said: "I've got two kids and I did have two daughters and now I have a son and a daughter and that's quite easy for me to to say now but it wasn't maybe six or seven years ago. "We live in a very happy household now, full of jokes, and it's my favourite place to be at home. "You know they say that as a mum, probably as a parent, that you're only ever as happy and your unhappiest child and so with that in mind we have had some pretty unhappy years.

"Now we're in a really wonderful place as a family, Flo is in a wonderful place as a brilliant actor, singer, writer, director in his sixth form at school, and Marnie is thriving. "So instead of just trying to get through difficult times we are now all thriving and the relief and joy is very tangible." She continued: "It was about when Flo was about 10 or 11 and the maddest thing is, I suppose, is that it's not the most interesting thing about him. "He's an incredible, incredibly funny, intelligent boy and I'm watching him grow into a wonderful human who's very talented and to see him thriving is just nothing but relief and joy for me really because there was some dark times." "Fab bit of family therapy, therapy on Flo's side so Flo was doing therapy as well. Speaking to other people and realising you weren't alone was a really, really helpful thing... "I became almost like a padded cell around Flo, almost going 'it's okay whatever you want, you want to do this, you want to do that, it's all okay', because I think if you push back on a kid they're going to want to do the opposite of what their parent says so I made everything a possibility. "I didn't say you can't be that but it was a very distressing time." Tamzin also explained that whilst her six year old understood the change very quickly, she was worried about the 'wrath' of her father who is now also fully supportive. She said: "Marnie has been the most insightful about all of it because it's constantly, from pretty much day one when Marnie was six years old has said 'this is my brother Flo'. "Flo has many nicknames at school, all sorts of different things, all of the kids are so accepting of everything but I think they're much more understanding. "Whereas obviously there was a time, my dad's brilliant now and on board, but there was a time where I didn't want Flo to have the wrath of what my dad had to say about the whole thing."

Axe murderer slayed EastEnders star and sons and buried bodies in shallow grave
The monster partner of a former EastEnders actress will die behind bars after brutally killing her and their two young sons - the detective who worked on the case said it was the lowest point in his career and what the children were subjected to will always sit with him The shocking case of a former successful soap star's horrific murder made headlines when her partner was found guilty of bludgeoning her and their two sons to death and burying their bodies in the garden of their home, before fleeing the country. Sian Blake was a successful actress, with one of her most notable roles as singer Frankie Pierre in the BBC's EastEnders from 1996 to 1997. Her character pursued married cafe worker Alan Jackson. She also had parts in Casualty, The Bill, Skins and Doctors as well as appearing on stage and doing voiceover work. When she retired from acting she became a sign-language teacher and interpreter. READ MORE: 'I was groomed at 14, raped and held captive for 10 years in abuser's house' Behind the scenes, life at home for Sian was troubled. She was in a relationship with former hairdresser and part-time drug dealer Arthur Simpson-Kent and the pair had two sons together, Zachary, eight, and Amon, four. According to reports she was unhappy and wanted to leave her partner. In 2013 she started to show signs of a neurological illness and on 11 December 2015 she was diagnosed with terminal motor neurone disease. Her condition had left her unable to walk unaided and had weakened her arms. Sian, 43, visited her mum, who she was very close to, shortly after to discuss the possibility of the family moving in with her. Just days later she was reported missing when the children had also failed to turn up to school. Officers visited their dilapidated home in Erith, southeast London and were met by 49 year old Arthur who told them his partner was "fed up" with her family and had "gone to Cambridge to see a friend". Minutes after police left he fled the house, dumping Sian's car in east London and going to a friend who thought he was in trouble because of his cannabis dealing. He then tried to get a flight out of the UK that night but when he failed to do so, his friend told him he couldn't go back to his house. So he sent another pal a chilling message, which read: "I need your help tonight. I can't go into details about what I have done but I only have 2 choices. Go to Ghana one way or die." Using his friend's card he got a coach from London to Glasgow then a flight to his native Ghana via Amsterdam, arriving in Accra on December 19. Police returned to the family's home hours after their first visit to find Arthur gone and the house deserted. When they examined inside in more detail they found attempts had been made to cover over blood splatters on the wall with paint. Texts had also been sent from Sian's phone to relatives, including her sister Ava, saying that she had "gone away for a few weeks" and was "taking time to myself and my children". They were sent from the house. After Sian's car was found in Bethnal Green an excavation of the garden at the home took place where the bodies of Sian and her two sons, who were aged just eight and four, were found in a shallow grave. Former Met Police detective Steve Keogh featured in TRUE CRIME's documentary series Secrets of a Murder Detective where viewers were taken behind the scenes of a murder investigation. He worked on some of the country's biggest crimes but says when Sian and her boys were discovered, it was one of the hardest moments in his long career. "I was in the office, and when it fed back from the scene that actually no, it's a grave and there's three of them in there, that was a real low point in my career," he told Metro last year. "It was just a very sad moment for the whole team. The way Sian and her boys were murdered at the hands of their father is probably the one murder investigation I've had that has affected me the most and I will always carry with me." Post mortem examinations revealed all three victims had suffered serious head injuries and were then stabbed in the neck. "The fact Zachary had defensive injuries gives me the chills," Steve said. "The fact he wasn't asleep, and he saw it coming - that's one of the things that will always sit with me." Determined to make the killer of the innocent boys and their loving mother face justice for his heinous crimes, Steve and his team set about finding Simpson-Kent. He was tracked down to Ghana and a few days later, on January 9, local police there arrested him on a beach where he was found sipping from a coconut. He told police there was an agreement with Sian to kill her and the kids as she had "no meaningful life" left. Simpson-Kent pleaded guilty to all three murders and was handed a rare whole life sentence, meaning he will die behind bars. The court heard how he used a small axe to hit Sian and their two young children on the head and knock them unconscious. All three were then stabbed in the neck or throat before he wrapped their bodies in plastic and buried them in shallow graves in the garden. The court heard that Simpson-Kent told psychiatrist Dr Philip Joseph, "something just snapped in me". He added: "I felt as if I had just been pushed off a diving board and was falling. I grabbed hold of a small axe that was kept on a ledge in the kitchen. Sian's head was bent low down and she was bent over looking at the floor. "I approached her from the side and hit her at the back of the head as hard as I could and she fell unconscious at the first blow. After that I hit her repeatedly on the head. My mind was blank and I was focusing on doing and not thinking. It was like I was there but not there." There were tears in the public gallery as Mr Justice Singh handed down the whole life sentence and told the court: "The evidence is inconsistent with any thoughts Sian Blake wished to have her life terminated or agreed for Arthur Simpson-Kent to take her life. The manner in which the defendant killed his victims is truly horrific. "In my judgment this was indeed a case where each murder involved a substantial degree of premeditation or planning. At the very least that must be true of the murder of each of the two little boys individually, and in turn after the defendant had already killed Sian Blake. He continued: "Each of the victims was particularly vulnerable because of age or disability. There was an abuse of position of trust. There was concealment of the bodies. He made efforts to remove evidence of his crimes at the house, including repainting. He sought to lay a false trail by using Sian Blake's mobile phone. He lied to the police and others about the whereabouts of the family." Mr Justice Singh said he rejected Simpson-Kent's claim that he was depressed and planned to also kill himself, before bottling it. Steve agreed saying there was no mercy in the way he killed Sian. "Looking back, we don't know 100 per cent why he did it. The injuries were horrific. It was cruel. It was wicked. It was barbaric. "How can you get yourself in the mind of someone as evil as that? A long time ago I realised you can't put yourself in the mind of these people because they don't think or act in the way that we would."
