up in Emmerdale,

EastEnders and

Coronation Street...

rab your hats and

tissues as Coronation

Street is throwing a

wedding... Sinead and

Daniel legally tie the knot!

On the back of the shock

news that Fiona Middleton

• Steve McDonald’s old
  flame from years ago –
  is Emma Brooker’s mum,
  Emma’s left to deal with
  the huge revelation that
  cab driver Steve is her
  biological father! And

  family life with
  Tracy is turned
  upside down...
  Meanwhile,
  over at No. 9 ,

Tyrone, Ruby and Evelyn

get a shake-up when

Fiz returns home from

Birmingham with her

daughter Hope.

It seems that Hope’s

spell at a special school

in Birmingham hasn’t

solved her behavioural

issues, and when tutor

Jade (played by Lottie

Henshall) moves in

with the family to

help, there are even

more problems. Q

CORONATION STREET

B

ianca Jackson, sister of

Sonia and Robbie and

mother to Tiff, will return

to Walford in ‘a blistering

storyline that will grip fans

this Autumn’, according to

an insider. Whether Bianca

(played again by Patsy

Palmer) arrives in time for

Whitney’s upcoming wedding

to Callum is shrouded in

secrecy. But with Ben and

Callum’s feelings for each

other bubbling away, will

the ill-advised nuptials

actually go ahead?

Louise Mitchell’s teen

pregnancy story brings her

mum Lisa Fowler back to the

Square and will see actress

Lucy Benjamin reprise

the role.

But as Lisa

returns, her

best mate

of old, Mel

Owen, will be leaving in a

story linked to her killer son

Hunter, who’s prematurely

out of prison.

Look out, too, for Dotty

Cotton. CBBC star Milly Zero

will play the now grown-up

daughter of infamous baddie

Nick Cotton as she returns to

Walford with her gran Dot.

She’s starting university, but

is Dotty set to cause as

much trouble as her

late dad did? Q

EMMERDALE

T

here’s bright news in the Dales

when Chas and Paddy have their

baby, although the soap’s producer

Kate Brooks says, ‘It won’t go according

to plan.’ The affair between Moira and

Nate is set to get steamier, building up

to betrayed husband Cain finding out the

explosive truth in October, which will wreak

heartbreaking havoc.

There’s a familiar face when Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) returns

along with her son Vinny – and the secret she’s been dying to

share. But how long will it take her to spill the beans?

The aftermath of the factory fire will see Jai and

Kim open an outdoor-pursuits centre with zip wires,

Segways and the like. But will Jai come to regret

doing a deal with the village ‘she-devil’? Q
