EastEnders star set for dramatic exit plot after wreaking havoc in Walford

 Bea has been causing drama on the Square.

EastEnders star Ronni Ancona is departing the show in a dramatic exit storyline. Ronni has played Linda Carter's school friend Bea Pollard since joining the soap last year, but her time on the show is nearing an end.

Bea has certainly made waves in the Square after risking big trouble for Honey when she fraudulently took out a credit card in her name. And now, The Sun reports that Ancona will be leaving the series, with her character receiving an explosive exit.

The scheming character was never planned to stick around long-term, though, as the initial casting release confirmed that she was brought in for a finite stint.

An EastEnders spokesperson commented: "As we previously announced, Ronni Ancona joined EastEnders for a short stint, which was then extended, for a very dramatic storyline which will unfold over the next few weeks."

Bea has been on a downward spiral after her credit card scheme was exposed by former love interest Ian Beale, who discovered that she'd been buying out votes in Honey's name leading to his win in the Walford Council elections.

She was forced to confess everything to Honey, who still planned to forgive her, but Billy was not happy upon discovering the truth and threw her out of the house. This led to an act of retaliation from Bea as she tampered with Billy's ladder before leaving. However, Honey was the one who got injured in a serious fall.

Since then, Bea has been doing all she can to worm her way back in with Honey and Billy – could worse trouble be coming up before she leaves Walford?

As for what's in store for Bea, Ancona previously hinted that things were going to get much worse, adding: "It’s going to get so much darker for Honey and Billy. I would say that Bea increasingly spirals, and she becomes more dangerous as a result."

She went on to say that Billy's distrust of Bea would be a huge catalyst: "Billy can see right through her. That’s why she can’t stand Billy."

Exclusive: Hollyoaks confirms new Ste and Rex drama after wedding joy

 "Ste goes through such a journey."

Hollyoaks stars Kieron Richardson and Jonny Labey have teased that their characters Ste Hay and Rex Gallagher's relationship could be headed for the rocks once again, as Rex's crossdressing story will be revisited.

Ste and Rex married on screen a few weeks ago – but it was a turbulent road to the altar, as Ste discovered that Rex had secretly been wearing women's clothes.

Although Ste initially opposed Rex's experimentation, he eventually came round and supported Rex on his journey to find himself.

However, it seems that Rex's crossdressing will continue to cause issues for the couple. Chatting exclusively to Inside Soap as part of the magazine's first-ever Pride issue, Kieron and Jonny reveal that despite their marriage having only just begun, there's more difficulties to come for them.

The cross-dressing storyline is revisited again, and Ste has really tried to suppress how he feels about that," reveals Kieron. "In the next chapter, something happens to Rex, so he leans into this and then fabricates a story to pull Ste in a little bit and to almost force him to love him.

"It’s really sad that Rex feels like he has to do that. Ste is trying to be as supportive as he can, and I just don’t think he knows how to handle it."

"Ste goes through such a journey with his understanding and his judgement, what he is actually in love with and what he’s attracted to," Jonny adds.

"Does attraction and sex play into the same feelings you have in terms of how you feel love for someone? Their relationship always has love for each other at its heart, though."

Home and Away star speaks out as shock shooting victim is finally revealed

 "You have to be careful with bringing up trauma for viewers."

Home and Away has finally confirmed who Richie Brezniak shot in Australian-paced episodes, with the actor in question breaking their silence on the shock scenes. This week saw the new cop accidentally hit a beloved character after weeks of build-up.

It was subsequently revealed that David Langham was the unfortunate victim, with his life hanging in the balance.

Opening up about the storyline, David actor Jeremy Lindsay Taylor spoke about the importance of showing that shootings occur in Australia, as well as depicting such scenes sensitively.

"You have to look after yourself, you work with the stunt coordinator, you work with the director, and the cameras, and there are great stunt people on set," he told Who. "You also have to be careful with bringing up trauma for viewers as a scene like this can raise a lot of past trauma for them."

Jeremy also said it was "exciting" to film the scene, adding: "For example, it was Rocco [Forrester-Sach]’s first time holding a gun as Richie, which was new and took a lot of work to get used to and make sure the scene was as authentic as possible."

The star further reflected on the "instability" around David's ambiguous fate, and used his "personal experience as a father" in his approach to the scene.

I also considered what the experience would be like for both of David’s daughters, Lacey Miller and Jo Langham," he added. "Hospitals aren’t a great place for the Langham family, but luckily, we have a new doctor played by the incredible Nicole Da Silva on the scene, so that provides relief for audiences.

"For scenes like this, I just try to approach it as authentically as possible."

Teasing the future of the storyline, Richie actor Rocco previously explained that while his character wants to "make it right" in the wake of his mistake, it "might not be possible for him".

"When a life is on the line, even if a person pulls through, I think the fallout follows that person for a long time," he told The West Australian. "[Richie] has got a lot of ground to pave to try to prove to people that he is a good guy."

Home and Away in the UK, Mackenzie and Levi prepare for a baby shower and gender reveal, only for their scan to bring the worst possible news

 

Next week on Home and Away in the UK, Mackenzie and Levi prepare for a baby shower and gender reveal, only for their scan to bring the worst possible news.

Mackenzie (Emily Weir) and Levi (Tristan Gorey) discovered the pregnancy after the train crash, following their second implantation as part of their IVF journey. Having already lost one baby during the process, the couple kept the news quiet until after their 12-week scan confirmed everything was going well.

Next week, future auntie Abigail (Hailey Pinto) is keen to mark the next stage, as she arrives at Salt with ideas for a baby shower and gender reveal.

Mac isn’t immediately convinced. It’s not really her kind of thing, and when Abby keeps pushing the idea, Mac sends her off to get on with stocktake instead.

With Abby out of the way, Mali (Kyle Shilling) checks in with Mac about the artwork she’s asked him to create for the nursery. Mac chooses a design, but Alf (Ray Meagher) soon gives her something else to think about.

Alf thanks Mac and Mali for inviting him to Archie’s first birthday party, and his comments about cherishing milestone events stay with her. Although she hadn’t been planning on making a fuss, Mac starts to wonder whether a baby shower is one of those moments she should make the most of.

Abby later keeps up her efforts by presenting Mac with a scrapbook full of baby shower ideas. The gesture leaves Mac warmed, even if she’s still not fully sold on the kind of event Abby has in mind.

The scrapbook stays with Mac, and she later brings it back to Salt where she’s still unsure what to do. Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) in on hand as Mac explains that Abby’s ideas were a lovely thought, but confetti cannons and a ‘wishing well of dreams’ book to write in aren’t really her style.

Instead, Mac decides she would like a baby shower if Eden is willing to help organise something more low-key. Eden doesn’t exactly see herself as a baby shower person either, but she agrees to help.

Mac quickly loses patience and warns that she’ll ditch them both and organise the whole thing herself if they can’t work together. The warning works, as Abby and Eden agree to join forces and give Mac the kind of baby shower she actually wants.

The next day, Abby, Eden and Dana (Ally Harris) get to work decorating Salt ahead of the celebration. After all the debate over what Mac wanted, everything is ready for her return from the scan.

Meanwhile, Mac is at home waiting for the appointment when she learns that Levi has been held up at work and will have to meet her at the hospital. Tane (Ethan Browne) steps in and accompanies her instead, with Levi arriving just in time.

Sonographer Magda (Deepka Ratra) begins the ultrasound, but it soon becomes clear that something’s not right.

Magda asks Dr Ellen Sinclair (Janine Watson) to come in, leaving Mac and Levi on tenterhooks.

Dr Sinclair passes the ultrasound probe over Mac’s stomach again, then confirms the news they were dreading.

She can’t detect a heartbeat.

Mac and Levi immediately scramble to find an alternative explanation—maybe the machine’s broken, or maybe the placenta is in the way. But Dr Sinclair can’t give them the reassurance they’re looking for, explaining that a Beta-hCG test will be needed to confirm whether Mac has miscarried.

Dr Sinclair arranges for the test to be marked as urgent, telling Mac and Levi they should have the results within the hour.

As they wait, Mac begins blaming herself. She can’t understand how she didn’t know something was wrong, questioning why she didn’t notice when the baby stopped moving.

Levi tries to reassure her that sometimes there is no warning, but Mac is left asking why this is happening again.

A short while later, the Beta-hCG results confirm what Dr Sinclair suspected; they’ve lost the baby.

For Mac, the devastation is overwhelming. Not only did she and Levi lose the first embryo they had implanted last year, but Mac also lost a baby back in 2021.

At that time, Mac had been in a relationship with Ari Parata (Rob Kipa-Williams), and found out she was pregnant just as he decided to end their relationship and return to former love Mia (Anna Samson). Mac briefly considered terminating the pregnancy, but couldn’t go through with it.

The decision was taken out of her hands however, when she later collapsed in pain and it was discovered she’d suffered an ectopic pregnancy. Emergency surgery left her with only one fallopian tube, which later added to her fears that she and Levi might struggle to conceive.

With their friends still preparing for the baby shower at Salt, Levi quietly asks Tane to go and tell Eden and Abby what’s happened. Tane returns to Salt, where the decorations are all in place, and breaks the news that the celebration won’t be going ahead.

As Abby, Eden and Harper begin packing everything away, Abby suggests that they could hold on to the decorations in case Mac and Levi try for another baby later. Eden shuts the idea down, knowing how painful it could be if Mac or Levi were to find them.

Back at the hospital, Dr Sinclair explains that they now need to discuss what happens next. As Mac hasn’t gone into labour naturally, she advises that she should be induced to reduce the risk of infection and bleeding.

Mac refuses, forcing Dr Sinclair to explain the other option—a surgical termination under general anaesthetic. Both procedures can be carried out that day, but Mac needs to decide which one she wants.

Overwhelmed, Mac asks Levi what he thinks, but he tells her it has to be her decision. She needs more time, but Dr Sinclair warns that they have to act quickly for Mac’s own safety, as she’s at risk of sepsis.

As Mac says she doesn’t want any of this to be real, Levi gently but firmly brings her back to what has happened.

They’ve lost their baby, and he doesn’t want to lose her too.

After their last miscarriage nearly tore them apart, can Mac and Levi find a way through this one together?

Home and Away is available to stream from 6am weekdays, with double bill episodes airing from 6pm on 5Star.

EastEnders reveals chaos in The Vic as Jasmine discovers huge bombshell

 What next for her, Oscar and Josh?

Recriminations will fly in Thursday's (11 June) EastEnders after Jasmine Fisher finally discovered a major secret. Tonight's scenes saw her twin brother Josh Goodwin interrupting a chorus of 'Happy Birthday' to reveal that her boyfriend Oscar Branning has been cheating on her — with him.

The pair had been seen growing closer in recent months, despite Oscar's relationship with Jasmine. Earlier this week, the boys kissed again.

They were spotted by Kat Slater, who decided to stay quiet in order to allow Jasmine to enjoy her birthday. Josh, however, had an attack of conscience in The Vic and exposed the truth.

Now, first-look images of tomorrow's visit to Albert Square see Jasmine furiously confronting a sheepish Oscar, with her mum Zoe Slater trying to comfort her.

The family is also seen looking in shock and anger at Josh as he elaborates on his massive bombshell.

With tensions set to explode, will this be the end of the road for Jasmine and Oscar? What does this mean for Jasmine's relationship with Josh? And will Josh and Oscar be able to stay apart?

Official spoilers for the episode confirm that "chaos erupts at The Vic", so it definitely won't be a low-key aftermath.

In other EastEnders news, star Heather Peace (who plays Eve) has confirmed that her character and Suki Panesar-Unwin will make further progress in their adoption story very soon.

"We’ve been filming a lot together over the past few months," she told Inside Soap. "This is such an important storyline to tell, because it shows what a tricky process it can be.

"Because Eve’s been to prison, I would just immediately think it’s off the table, and you’d never be able to adopt if you’ve been to prison. Hopefully this story educates people a little bit, and somebody might apply to adopt who wouldn’t have before," she added.

Tonight’s Home and Away in Australia confirmed that Sergeant David Langham was the character shot by new cop Richie.

 Back in mid-May, a promo airing on Channel 7 in Australia teased that a character would be shot in upcoming episodes.

It gave very few details, but with 20 characters featuring in the trailer, it seemed that any one of our Summer Bay favourites could have been in danger.

Fans quickly began theorising which Home and Away character would be impacted, and the clues all seemed to point to Sergeant Langham (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor).

A previous promo which aired in late April showed David at home with daughters Lacey (Sophea Pennington) and Jo (Maddison Brown) on the sofa at the beach house.

All three appeared emotional, and David was seen looking uncharacteristically unkempt and with facial hair, leading fans to speculate that he was recuperating at home after getting shot.

Earlier this week, it was confirmed that new arrival Richie Brezniak (Rocco Forrester-Sach) – the rookie cop whose overly enthusiastic nature has been getting him into trouble since he arrived in early May – would be the one to fire the shot.

In tonight’s Aussie episode, the fan theory was confirmed as David was shot by Richie in the final scenes.

A crime wave has recently swept Summer Bay and the surrounding areas – the surf club garage was broke into, a number of power tools were stolen from tradies’ vans, and Justin’s (James Stewart) van was stolen.

With residents growing frustrated at the ongoing crimes, yesterday’s episode saw David order his officers to scour the area and canvas locals for information, with the aim of apprehend the criminal or criminals that very day.

Shortly after, Richie and his colleague (Jake Fryer Hornsby) spotted Justin’s stolen van parked up by the beach.

There was no sign of whoever had taken the van – that was, until a man came out of nowhere and stole Lacey’s handbag from over her shoulder, before running back towards the vehicle and speeding off.

After assuring that Lacey was okay, Richie jumped back into his police car and sped off in pursuit, leaving his colleague to tend to Lacey.

In today’s episode, it was revealed that Richie had failed to catch the thief, and he was reprimanded by David for breaking protocol by failing to call for backup and leaving his colleague alone.

“Richie has taken matters into his own hands, disregarding protocol, leaving his partner, chasing after a suspect and risking his own safety,” Jeremy Lindsay Taylor explained to TV Week.

As the episode went on, David received a tip off that Justin’s van had been spotted near a makeshift campsite on nearby Jacaranda Road.

With Richie back on the case, he and David headed off together to check out the scene. There, they found a tent set up, with Justin’s van parked up next to it.

The pair began questioning a woman inside the tent, with David asking her how she came into possession of the van.

The woman, named Alana, claimed it had all been a misunderstanding and that she bought the van off a guy at the side of the road.

Suddenly, the boyfriend – the same man who had stolen Lacey’s handbag and had previously been spotted on CCTV carrying out one of the thefts – appeared from the bushes with firewood.

After dropping most of the firewood, the character – Dale (David Harsh) – rushed towards David and Richie wielding a large stick.

Richie drew his gun, but David told him to step back.

In the final moments of the episode, Richie raised his gun, and David stepped in the way to stop him doing something he’d later come to regret.

However, in the confusion, Richie proceeded to pull the trigger, hitting David square in the abdomen.

In the aftermath he is mortified and shocked when he realises what has happened,” Rocco recently stated in an interview with The West Australian.  “By the point it has happened, it is irreversible and the damage is done.”

As Cash arrives on the scene in tomorrow’s episode, paramedics are tending to David and preparing to transfer them to Northern Districts Hospital.

But will he pull through?

Tomorrow’s episode sees the arrival of a new character, Dr Amelia Carlisle, played by Wentworth star Nicole da Silva. She’s covering for Levi (Tristan Gorey) while he’s on leave, and will treat David as he’s rushed to hospital.

Dana has already mentioned meeting her new boss at the hospital, commenting that she “hasn’t really sussed her out yet,” but that she “seems to be very switched on.”

With Amelia thrown in at the deep end as she treats the gunshot wound, will she be able to save the life of the Summer Bay resident?

Thankfully, we know that David survives the shooting, with the aforementioned promo showing him resting at home. However, what the incident means for Richie’s career as a cop remains to be seen.

As much as he wants to make it right, it might not be possible for him,” Rocco continues. “When a life is on the line, even if a person pulls through, I think the fallout follows that person for a long time.

“He has got a lot of ground to pave to try to prove to people that he is a good guy.”

Rocco Forrester-Sach is still filming and is believed to have joined the show’s full-time cast, but fans watching filming at Sydney’s Palm Beach have noted that it’s been a while since Rocco was spotted filming in his police uniform.

Instead, it appears Richie is set to become a lifeguard in the months ahead, as he’s been spotted alongside John Palmer (Shane Withington) in the iconic red uniform.

Will he simply be suspended pending an investigation, or will the shock shooting put a rapid end to Richie’s fledgling career as a cop?

As for David, he’s set for romance with the doctor who treats him.

Actors Jeremy Lindsay Taylor and Nicole da Silva have been spotted filming together on numerous occasions since Nicole joined the cast earlier this year.
