Explanations are demanded in the soaps this week, as a number of the genre’s most popular characters face some serious questions from their loved ones, with secrets set to be exposed.
Emmerdale’s Charity Dingle, for example, is keen to know what fiancé Mackenzie Boyd is up to when he walks away from the church on their big wedding day, as Chloe Harris gives birth to his child in the hospital.
Is the truth about the groom’s one-night-stand with Chloe set to finally be exposed on the big day? Speaking of secrets being revealed, EastEnders’ Denise Fox has some explaining to do, as the truth about her affair with Ravi Gulati comes out in an explosive fashion.
Expect fireworks.
Coronation Street, meanwhile, sees Stephen Reid left grinning from ear-to-ear when an explanation for Rufus’ mysterious drowning is offered, meaning that he has yet again avoided being caught, with his killing spree seemingly set to continue.
Over in Hollyoaks, Juliet Nightingale returns with a secret of her own, but she’s left in shock by the sight she walks in on, with Donna-Marie Quinn also having some explaining to do.
It’s set to be another unmissable week, and if you’re keen for a first look at all the drama, we’re here to comply, with a list of the top 10 must-see moments from the week in question (April 17 to 21).
