Be warned, this week – especially Monday’s offering – is NOT one to be missed.
Emmerdale, meanwhile, sees Gabby Thomas go too far in her pursuit of Nicky, while a dead body causes chaos over at the B&B with opening day ending in a true travesty.
Over in Coronation Street, Stephen receives a setback when he discovers Carla Connor is intent on returning to work, while Hollyoaks sees Juliet Nightingale make a huge decision, and there will be tears aplenty.
It’s going to be a soapy week to remember, and if you’d like all the spoilers for the week in question (February 20 to 24) then carry on reading.
