Hollyoaks' Theresa takes drastic action to cover up Jenson death

 What did she do?

Theresa McQueen took drastic action on Hollyoaks tonight (27 October), with the popular character wanting to wash away the blood that was on her hands following the murder of Jenson Cole.

Monday's (26 October) episode of the Channel 4 soap saw two storylines converge as Theresa learned that Cleo and her former partner Dodger Savage had been having an affair, which left her heartbroken.

At the same time, Warren Fox had dragged his half-brother Jenson to the woods following his actions towards Mercedes, with a startled Theresa accidentally killing Jenson as she hit his head with a rock.

Tonight's instalment began with Theresa attempting to speak with Cleo, while Dodger grilled Warren about Jenson's whereabouts. Theresa overheard their conversation, and attempted to get some help from Warren after Dodger left.

He wasn't in any mood to talk, however, and told her to leave. She drowned her sorrows back home, and Dodger soon arrived at the house. Though she was still heartbroken over their separation, he suspected that something else may be going on.

She then got a huge shock, as Dodger disclosed that the late Jenson was an undercover cop who had "gone rogue". Now realising that she had killed an officer of the law, Theresa was horrified.

She tried to forget about everything as she headed to the Hutchinsons' party with Mercedes, but soon spotted an opportunity to at least throw the police – and Dodger – away from the scent.

Shenoticed that a couple had left a phone unattended, and made the bold decision to call the police. She concealed her true voice, and gave the law an anonymous tip that Jenson had been spotted in Newcastle.

With Theresa now attempting to send the police on a wild goose chase, will her reckless actions be discovered? And will she be able to keep a cool head as Dodger's prying eyes hone in on his former partner?

Emmerdale confirms how Sadie gets Caleb into bed with cruel scheme

 He finally gives into temptation, but will Ruby find out?

Emmerdale fans see passion explode next week as Sadie King finally succeeds in seducing Caleb Miligan.

The scheming character has been trying to get her claws into the married man as part of her plot with Joe Tate to destroy the Miligans, and vulnerable Caleb finally gives in when he thinks his wife Ruby has cheated on him. Is this the end for Caleb and Ruby?

Sadie is very financially motivated and used to the art of manipulation," explains Patsy Kensit, who plays Sadie. "She's taken a hit in life and needs money, so the fact Joe is paying Sadie is driving her.

"She likes an affluent lifestyle and wants that back – but she also looks at Ruby and Caleb's marriage and it's painful, because she would love what they have…"

Sadie has spent weeks gaslighting Ruby while posing as her friend, making Ruby look as though she has issues with alcohol. While Ruby remains clueless that she's being manipulated by her so-called mate, she's clocked Caleb's disapproval of her drinking and tries to cut back on the booze – much to Sadie's frustration.

When the pair hit the pub, Ruby is adamant this will be a sober session. Sadie, however, has other ideas…

"Ruby thinks she's drinking mocktails but Sadie's slipping alcohol into them without her knowledge," confirms Patsy. "It's such bad behaviour! Ruby thinks they taste a bit strange, but has no idea what's happening."

Soon, the drink goes to Ruby's head and when Sadie catches Ross Barton's eye from across the bar, she seizes the chance for a cheeky flirt. But it's all part of Sadie's saucy plan…

"Ross starts doing a flirty samba dance with Sadie," continues Patsy. "Sadie then grabs Ruby and throws them together. Ruby's falling all over the place by now, and when Sadie texts Caleb pretending she's concerned by Ruby's behaviour, he comes in and sees Ross and Ruby have fallen on the floor!

"Sadie has manipulated the situation to get Caleb there and damage his marriage."

Incandescent Caleb storms out, with Ruby unaware what her husband has witnessed. Ruby starts to realise she's feeling tipsy, which is baffling for her as she believed she was on soft drinks. Sadie does her best supportive friend act, while still spiking Ruby to get her even more plastered.

Later, Caleb quizzes Sadie on why his wife was draped over Ross, giving her the chance to do some more stirring when she says he and Ruby left the pub together…

Caleb saw enough to think that something happened between Ruby and Ross," reveals Patsy. "Even though she knows it didn't, Sadie doesn't correct him…"

With Caleb crushed to think his wife has been unfaithful, Sadie swoops in to take full advantage and finally gets him into bed.

"Sadie has her plan in her sights," says Patsy. "She is very attracted to Caleb, and she genuinely wants what him and Ruby have as a couple. As well as the money, of course!"

The next day, Caleb is full of regret. Despite thinking his wife has done the dirty, two wrongs don't make a right and he can't believe he's slept with Sadie in revenge.

He confronts Ruby about last night's shenanigans, and during their heated exchange, Caleb is mortified when it becomes clear he's got this all wrong – nothing actually happened with Ross.

Ruby puts the pieces together and fumes that Sadie made her hubby think she's been canoodling with another fella. When she tackles Sadie, however, can the conniving King talk her way out of it?

"The old Sadie would've squashed Ruby like a fly, but they've struck up this weird friendship," continues Patsy. "It's complicated and Ruby has been really kind to Sadie, and I think she does feel guilty about manipulating her.

"But I think Sadie can convince Ruby she didn't mean to cause any trouble – as always, she has a plan!"

Determined to keep their indiscretion under wraps, Caleb demands Sadie move out. But what's to stop spiteful Sadie revealing all to Ruby?

EastEnders reveals new Ian and Elaine passion in Bonfire Night twist

 The sparks are flying!

EastEnders’ Ian Beale and Elaine Peacock share another passionate snog next week, when Bonfire Night bickering turns into friskiness for the unlikely lovers!

Until this point, the amorous pair have kept their friends-with-benefits situation on the downlow. But could this saucy smooch ignite the gossip mongers of Walford and turn their casual fling into something more serious?

Ian and Elaine are no strangers to some heated rivalry!" says our EastEnders spy. "It all harks back to their fierce political campaigning which fuelled their attraction in the first place.

"Now there’s some friendly business competition instead, but still the same old chemistry!"

Ian might feel like some things in life have changed since he went to prison ­– but one thing’s for sure, Bonfire Night is still big business in the Square. When Ned uses his powers of persuasion to blag Ryder a job with Ian, Beale’s firework night is on.

The recently released ex-con hopes that this event will help him win back the public support he so desperately craves, but Ian’s worried when his big event falls apart at the seams...

"It’s not long before disaster strikes," notes our insider. "Ryder has some bargain fireworks, which pleases Ian. However, he soon realises they’re out of date and can’t be used. The last thing Ian needs is a family event becoming dangerous on his watch!"

Convinced the bonfire festivities are doomed, Ian threatens to call the whole event off, until he gets an idea to borrow some of Elaine’s fireworks.

The problem is, when Ian decides to speak to Elaine about the night, she misunderstands and thinks he’s asking her on a date. Embarrassed, Elaine saves face by refusing to give him any of her fireworks!

"If Ian and Elaine just communicated, they’d realise they want the same thing!" says our source. "As Ryder and Oscar team up to steal Elaine’s fireworks, Ian storms over there to confront her! The tension quickly hots up, and Ian can think of only one way to silence Elaine..."

Ian launches himself at Elaine and ends her furious tirade with a passionate kiss! But will these sparks turn into a full blaze and cement Ian and Elaine as a serious relationship? Or will they continue to dance around how they really feel for each other?

Hollyoaks confirms shocking event in the village with residents stunned

 Hollyoaks is set to air some huge episodes next week, as a dramatic event sends shockwaves around the village. With the walls closing in on Imran Maalik, could this latest incident be the final nail in the coffin – and will he confess to his crimes?

It was recently revealed to viewers in a flashback episode that Imran enjoyed an unexpected romance with Cindy in America before he crossed paths with Leah, and that the pair are behind Ste’s kidnapping.

While Imran and Cindy decided to take revenge by taking Ste and framing James for his disappearance, Cindy later backed out of the plan and Imran continued with his plan alone.

Imran even got Lucas to help cover his dad’s kidnapping, but when Lucas fled the village and a chase went seriously wrong, Imran left him for dead – and later made a threat against Ste’s life to stop Lucas from revealing the truth.

Meanwhile, Leah has started growing closer to Imran again since her accident, but she was shocked when she watched Imran’s video confession and discovered about his previous connection to Cindy.   

In next week’s episodes, Leah remains hopeful that she and Imran can reconnect, though is still concerned that he is still in love with Cindy. However, she has no idea that Imran is hiding another, much darker secret.

But everything changes when a shocking event hits the village, with new pictures of Tony and Pearl looking stunned suggesting that what happens is totally unexpected.

As chaos unfolds, Lucas decides that he can’t keep the truth about his dad’s disappearance to himself any longer, so he rushes to the police station to tell the police about what Imran has done.

Lucas isn’t the only villager keen for the truth to be uncovered, as Cindy tracks down Imran and urges him to come clean about Ste’s kidnapping.

What Imran decides to do next remains a mystery, but could Cindy be the person to finally make him see sense about his dangerous actions?

In the aftermath of this chain of events, Cindy is questioned by police about what has happened, with her role in Ste’s disappearance also under threat of being exposed.

Will anyone face consequences for Ste’s kidnapping?
