Next week's episodes of Emmerdale, EastEnders and Coronation Street are set to feature major developments, including the return of two soap villains, shocking revelations, and a special episode centred on a character's dementia battle.
EastEnders: Janine's Return Stuns Linda
In EastEnders, Linda is shocked to discover that Lee has spent the night on Sean's floor after getting drunk. She turns to Elaine and Sharon for support but is rocked by what she uncovers when she answers a phone call on Lee's mobile.
Linda heads off to seek the truth and chooses to confront Janine. She soon makes a bombshell discovery from Janine, though what Janine has told her remains unclear. As Linda refuses to believe what she has been told, she returns to the Square and has a heart-to-heart with Max. Linda plans to see Janine once more, while Max makes a decision he might regret.
Later, Linda knows something and has to tell Lee, Nancy and Johnny what she has been told. This leads to the trio disappearing, and Linda and Max are desperately searching for them. Linda finds Nancy, and they reflect on things, but shortly after, Nancy's waters break. Meanwhile, Lee shares his concerns with Linda about becoming a dad, and Nancy is rushed to hospital.
Coronation Street: Debbie Webster Special Episode
On Coronation Street, a special episode next week focuses on Debbie Webster, as her friends rally round her amid her dementia battle. Soon, accusations fly and emotions run high, with secrets to be revealed.
The episode focuses on Debbie's Angels - Abby, Bernie, Christina, Sally and Glenda - who are helping Debbie surprise her son Carl for his birthday. What is meant to be a fun experience soon turns into chaos as tensions between the women rise and confrontations take place, bringing history and trauma to the surface.
As the group struggles to keep things going for Debbie, characters confide in one another and decisions are made about futures. As the evening comes to an end, the women unite to move forward, though some are keeping life-altering choices private.
Emmerdale: Tom King's Return and Attack
On Emmerdale, Tom King is finally back next week. Another return is teased for Samson Dingle, but things come to a halt when it is revealed Tom has been beaten up in prison.
Tom is in a critical condition in hospital, and Belle finds out that Cain organised the attack and that Samson carried it out. Things get tense as Sam realises what Cain has done. As the family come to blows, Samson reveals to his family that his new charges mean he could have a longer stretch in prison. Belle feels paranoid about how Tom will react to this, and Kammy tries to calm her down.
Soon Sam and Cain are clashing again, but at breaking point, Belle makes a decision. She calls out her brothers Cain and Sam and announces she will talk to Tom at the hospital, where he is being held while he recovers. Belle decides to visit him alone, leaving the question of whether she will go in and whether Tom will have his say.
