There are familiar faces aplenty in soapland next week as both EastEnders and Coronation Street welcome back former characters.

Nadine Keller returns to Walford with big news for Jay Brown which leaves him reeling while Weatherfield receives a visit from Nicky Wheatley, whose presencecould lead to a whole world of trouble for Daniel Osbourne.

Over in Emmerdale, Tom King takes matters into his own hands once again, with a shocking outcome on the cards for one of the village’s finest as the abuser goes too far.

Hollyoaks, meanwhile, sees concern grow for Frankie Osborne, who is being abused by twin brother JJ, with a meeting called at the school to discuss what she’s going through.

But will the truth out?
