Noah, who works at the church, will be seen entering the Rovers during Julie Carp's wake, as he speaks to his friend Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank). Billy isn't the only resident he's familiar with. As well as Noah being familiar with residents, fans may be familiar with the actor, Richard Winsor, as it isn't his first time in Soapland. Spoilers previously revealed that things were set to take a turn at Julie Carp 's wake, after a man called Noah enters the Rovers. However, Theo Silverton also recognises the character, sending shivers down his spine. He then reveals to Todd Grimshaw that he recognises Noah from his conversion therapy, which he was made to attend by his religious parents. As for fans, they may recognise actor Richard Windsor from his past role in Casualty. Richard played Caleb Knight in the hospital drama from 2014 until 2017, when his character was brutally killed off. In devastating scenes, Caleb was brutally stabbed to death by Scott Ellison while trying to protect his brother Ethan. It's not the only big role the actor has starred in. Soap fans may also recognise the star from his role in Hollyoaks in 2011, where he played priest Father Francis. Fans will remember the character for his affair with Carmel McQueen. Other credits for the actor include Royal Mob, The Machines That Built America, and StreetDance: The Movie. Noah won't be the only surprise entrance in the Rovers tonight as Ryan Thomas is set to reprise his role as Jason Grimshaw for Eileen's exit storyline. The actor returns to the show after nine years away, and it seems he wastes no time in getting to know a certain female character. It's now been revealed as newcomer Danielle Silverton, the wife of Theo Silverton. However, Jason unfortunately won't be sticking around for long as his final scenes will air next week. His onscreen mother Eileen, played by Sue Cleaver will bow out of the soap next Friday (June 6) after more than two decades in the role, debuting in 2000. Eileen's final scenes will see her make a life-changing decision, with Jason heavily involved.

The UK's deadliest soap has been confirmed – and surprisingly it's not Emmerdale
Emmerdale killer John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) is still escaping justice for the murder of Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter), but it turns out the Dales is not the deadliest place to live in Soapland. New research has revealed the most dangerous TV soap settings – and let's just say you might want to think twice before moving to a certain fictional London postcode. Yep, as of data collected in February, Albert Square is officially the deadliest soap destination, as there have been 229 deaths in EastEnders' 40-year history. This works out at a stonking 5.73 deaths per year occurring in Walford. The BBC soap doesn't have the highest overall death count, however – that title goes to Coronation Street. The cobbles has seen 242 deaths, but given it has been running for just over 64 years, deaths per year work out at the lowest average of 3.77. Emmerdale has a higher death rate, however, with the data from QR Code Generator revealing that with 200 deaths over its 52 years, the ITV soap says a deathly goodbye to an average of 3.82 characters a year. Both EastEnders and Emmerdale have lived up to their reputations already this year, with both soaps serving up a character bloodbath. Over in Walford, an explosion that tore through the Queen Vic pub ended up killing off beloved legacy character Martin Fowler (James Bye) during the serial's 40th anniversary live episode. In the same week, killer Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) suffered one of the show's most comical deaths ever when a bathtub fell through the ceiling and crushed him.

The detective leading the investigation told everyone in the pub that someone will be arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, and matters will of course get much worse if Joe ends up dying. It seems that Emmerdale is trying to catch up! View More » This article was originally published on 21st February 2025.
