Conflict arises for some, cheating takes place for others and a devastating death rocks soapland (Picture: BBC / ITV / Amazon Freevee / Lime Pictures)

Couples are at odds, cheating is on the menu and a devastating death takes centre stage next week in soapland, which is an absolutely corker of a week!

The genre is riddled with many a shocking moment next week which I am here to share with you, so let’s get stuck in. Neighbours is must-see viewing, with a holiday getaway featuring a number of Ramsay Street’s finest ending in tragedy.

Trust me, you’re not ready. I certainly wasn’t!

EastEnders, meanwhile, sees Denise Fox contemplate spilling the beans about what really happened over Christmas, while Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle is also considering opening up too as he makes a big revelation to wife Moira.

Cain and opening up don’t generally go together so that one has particularly intrigued me! And speaking of intrigue, Hollyoaks continues to be must-see TV, with Warren Fox set to take shocking action.

He never learns!

Lastly, we’ve got Coronation Street spoilers, which detail the beginnings of a new cobbles affair. If this all sounds like your cup of tea then you’re in luck as that’s just for starters. I’ve got spoilers aplenty for you, so let’s dive in.
