Emmerdale abuse scandal escalates as EastEnders exposes a villain in 25 major soap spoilers for next week

Sinister villains and their dastardly crimes are at the centre of soapland next week, with abuse ordeals and gaslighting aplenty.

Emmerdale’s Belle Dingle faces husband Tom King’s wrath as his harrowing behaviour continues to reach new heights while EastEnders rapist Dean Wicks is once again called into question after a warning from someone who knows very well what he’s capable of.

Over in Hollyoaks, Ste Hay and James Nightingale are left fighting for their lives as Warren Fox is on the warpath, hellbent on finding out all there is to know about Ella Richardson’s demise, while Coronation Street’s Roy Cropper is abused and bullied by locals who jump to the wrong conclusion.

In Ramsay Street, Neighbours’ latest resident schemer Chelsea Murphy takes her most shocking action yet in a bid to win Paul Robinson’s affection.

The soaps are all going to be tough to watch next week and I’ve got all the latest spoilers so you have an inkling of what’s to come ahead of the drama.

EastEnders

1. Stacey urges Jack to do whatever Denise asks in a bid to protect their secret. A family barbecue brings together both sides of Charli’s family but, in the back yard, Stacey and Jack share a tender goodbye kiss – just as Martin walks in on them!

2. Jade’s fundraiser is set to take place at the Vic, under the agreement that Dean doesn’t attend. Dean, however, manipulates his way into the event to see Jade’s speech and he begs his daughter to stay in Walford but Jade wants to go to Pakistan with her mum. Linda, meanwhile, manages to make Jean see that Dean is playing her.

3. Honey is horrified to catch Will vaping and demands to know who sold it to him. After finding out that Avani is to blame, she storms over to confront Priya but Priya isn’t all that bothered. Ravi, however, apologises.

4. George is made a fuss of on his birthday. Gloria’s arrival sets the cat among the pigeons but she just wants to talk, with George agreeing to hear her out. Gloria insists that he had a happy childhood but it all proves too much for George, who loses his temper, leading him to break down in Elaine’s arms.

5. Penny tries to persuade Lauren to have a 30th birthday celebration, but she’s not keen, especially when Peter tells her that he’s got a date that night.

8. Dylan pleads guilty to carrying a knife in a public place and he thanks Sean for his support after he’s handed a community service order. There’s more conflict, however, when the pair return home to find Eileen with Violet, who had no clue about what’s gone on. Violet turns her attention to Sean, blaming him for being a lousy parent.

9. Paul is slurring his words and his new PA struggles to understand him. Billy tries to play it down but Summer tells him that they need to face facts – Paul’s speech is deteriorating.

10. Tracy is left reeling when Steve, on Amy’s request, breaks the news that Tommy has accepted a job in Spain.
