EastEnders reveals major Zoe and Kat fight as shock exit scenes approach

 Can they make amends?

EastEnders’ Zoe Slater is finally back in Walford next week, but it’s not long before she is involved in a big fight with her mum Kat!

After Zoe brings fresh trouble to The Vic, old wounds reopen as mother and daughter fight in front of the family. But can Alfie convince Kat to put things right?

Kat always wishes for harmony with Zoe but never gets it!" points out our EastEnders source.

"In many ways, Zoe’s never grown up. But her impulsive behaviour is pure Slater, and Kat should realise she’s just a chip of the old block. Can they smooth things over?"

vKat’s thrilled to have Zoe and Tommy back home from Lynne’s, but before long she starts to notice that her son’s still wary about having Joel in the Square. Just as Kat thinks she’s managed to reassure him, though, Tommy disappears with a bottle of vodka…

Deciding to skip Kim’s wedding, Kat spends some quality time with Zoe and proves her loyalty by asking the Truemans to welcome Jasmine into the family.

When Zoe reveals she’s found the black cab that used to belong to their dad Charlie up for sale, she begs Kat to go with her so she can buy it. Kat agrees, until she gets word of Tommy’s drinking and goes on a hunt for her vulnerable son instead.

Zoe is forced to go and buy the cab on her own," explains our insider. "Kat prioritises Tommy, leaving irresponsible Zoe in charge of buying the cab. Soon an argument breaks out with the seller, so she steals the taxi and drives off with it!"

Back at the pub, Kat’s fuming to discover Zoe has stolen the vehicle, and things get even worse when the seller arrives demanding money and threatens to call the police! Zoe then finds herself in a full-blown row with Kat in front of the whole pub.

Kat has to paint on a brave face as Kim’s wedding party arrives," says our source. "But inside she’s devastated that her happy reunion with her kids has ended in yet another bust-up. Alfie encourages her to speak to Zoe, but can she find the right words?"

One new picture shows a tender moment between the pair, so it’s safe to say Kat reaches a breakthrough. However, with Zoe exiting Walford for good, might this be one of Kat’s last opportunities to tell Zoe how she really feels about her?

Hollyoaks announces Sienna Blake's return story after four-month absence

 

Hollyoaks has announced Sienna Blake's return story after a four-month absence. Sienna exited the soap back in May after being sent to prison for the murder of Clare Devine last month, following weeks of making her partner Cleo McQueen think she had committed the crime.

On Tuesday (8 September), Sienna returns home from prison, only to be shocked to find James alive and well, living in her flat.

Sienna confirms that the case against her has been dropped as they failed to find Clare’s body, and Sienna gives James notice to leave her property.

In the village, Mercedes is horrified when she sees Sienna is back after she gaslit her cousin Cleo and endangered her life.

Mercedes soon voices her opinion, lays into Sienna, and when Cleo arrives, warns her to stay away.

At Casa McQueen, where Mercedes has started a sustainable baby-clothes business, Cleo is reeling at the sight of Sienna. When left alone, Dodger, who is having an affair with Cleo despite being with her other cousin, Theresa McQueen, locks up to steal time with Cleo.

Later, a resident pries through the window at Casa McQueen and spying Dodger and Cleo, takes a picture - is it Sienna or someone else?

In scenes set to air on Wednesday 9 September, Sienna tells James she fears Ste has overdosed or been in an accident and James breaks down over missing Ste.

Viewers will be delighted to see Sienna back - but the same can't be said for many of the villagers! Mercedes reckons that Sienna's mistreatment of Cleo was unforgivable, while Cleo is also unsettled to see her ex back," our Hollyoaks insider said.

They added: "It'll also surely be much harder for Cleo and Dodger to hide their affair now Sienna is back - she has a strong history when it comes to sniffing out a secret!"

"Hopefully that will also come in handy when it comes to investigating Ste's disappearance, as the villagers will need all the help they can get to solve that mystery."

Home and Away 8781 Episode 1st September 2026

 

Home and Away star breaks silence as Harper makes exit announcement

 "She decides there’s no other option than to leave the Bay."

Home and Away star Jessica Redmayne has broken her silence as Harper Matheson announces her exit. In recent scenes, Harper told the police about her violent ex-boyfriend Beau, though he disappeared before he could be arrested.

With Beau on the run, Harper is considering leaving Summer Bay, fearing he could reappear at any moment.

"Cash is the one who sees something isn’t right with Harper and notices the mark on her face. He convinces her to make a statement," Redmayne told TV Week. "The AVO doesn’t stop Beau from returning to the Bay, though…"

In upcoming scenes, Tane hatches a dangerous plan to flush Beau out of hiding and pretends to be Harper. While posing as Harper, Tane arranges to meet Beau at the beach.

Meanwhile, Dana is furious to learn that Sonny has relapsed. Despite his telling her he would stay off drugs, Dana tells him it is over for good.

Watching the pair argue is Beau, who sweeps in once Dana leaves and threatens Sonny into retracting his police statement. With nothing left to lose, Sonny refuses.

To get Harper on his side, Beau meets her at the beach with flowers in hand and is shocked when Tane appears.

Beau tries to make a run for it but is outnumbered by the police, and Sergeant David Langham arrests him, promising that Harper’s ordeal is finally over.

When Tane tries to relay the good news to Harper at the safe house, she doesn't believe she will ever be safe, so she tells Tane that she and Archie won’t return to Summer Bay.

Speaking about Harper's mental state, Redmayne explained: "Harper fears nothing will stop Beau from returning to the Bay in the future to seek revenge on Harper and potentially put Archie’s life in danger."

She added: "She decides there’s no other option than to leave the Bay and go somewhere Beau can’t find them, so she can protect her son."

Home and Away 8780 Episode 31st August 2026

 

Hollyoaks announces huge new autumn storyline as Ste Hay goes missing

 Could something spooky be going on?

Hollyoaks has announced a huge new autumn storyline, which will see Ste Hay go missing under mysterious circumstances. The recent widower reluctantly agrees to go on a spa day with Mercedes McQueen and Leela Lomax, but something causes him to lose his way...

In next week's scenes, Ste continues to spiral about the murder of Rex Gallagher, and relapses on alcohol before confronting James Nightingale. Mercedes invites Ste and Leela to the spa for a break - unaware that she's being set up by Gemma Johnson.

In a special episode airing on 2 September, Ste forces the group to pull over at a shopping centre under the guise of needing the toilet. However, his shifty behaviour suggests that he may have an ulterior motive for ditching them.

As he wanders through unfamiliar surroundings, Ste crosses paths with a number of strange characters, and has a fleeting interaction with Phoenix Gulzar Brown. A disoriented Ste struggles to find his way out, and vanishes without a trace.

Meanwhile, Leela and Mercedes gossip in the parked car, not realising that they are being watched by Gemma's cronies. They panic when Ste fails to return, and head back to the village to find answers.

Knowing Ste is in a vulnerable state, the villagers all come together to help, while also pointing the finger at each other. After their recent clash, James is at the top of the list of potential suspects, alongside recently released convict Sienna Blake.

The dramatic storyline will continue throughout the autumn, before coming to a head in early October. The pivotal scenes will take place in Chester city centre, so could that be where Ste ended up?

I loved filming Ste vanishing in Runcorn Shopping City with real-life shoppers, over 70 supporting artists and an amazing crew," said Kieron Richardson. "People will see how busy the shopping centre was on the day, it really is like searching for a needle in a Ste Hay-stack."

"It was predominantly all shot in one take. It felt very different and quite unexpected, which is quite apt for this missing story. Just when you think you know what is going on, expect more of the unexpected," he added.

Beau is back in Summer Bay

After days of lying low at Tane's, Harper feels confident that Beau won't be breaking his AVO.

They leave the house for a walk on the beach, where Harper checks the location sharing app and sees Beau is in the city.

But just a few hours later, Tane receives a call from a frantic Harper informing him that Beau is back in the Bay.

 Tane sets a trap for Beau

Sonny is in the grips of steroid withdrawal, but Dana shows him little sympathy as she rushes off to support Harper.

Meanwhile, Tane instructs Harper to take Archie to his cousin's house, and they swap phones to make sure Beau can't find her.

With Harper safely out of the way, Tane then sets a trap by sending Beau a message from her mobile, asking if they can meet.

Dana walks out on Sonny

Sonny is caught red-handed when Dana arrives home to find him stashing a bottle of pills in his backpack. He tries to explain his actions, but Dana feels betrayed and goes to stay at Tane's.

Beau turns up soon afterwards, but Sonny orders him to leave, declaring that he'll be telling the truth in court.

The next morning, Dana returns to collect her belongings and tells Sonny she can't trust him ever again. Has he lost her for good?

 Alf gives Zane a second chance

Marilyn and Leah push Alf into having lunch with Zane in the hope he'll get to know him better.

Alf can see through the setup, but Zane takes the opportunity to suggest that he move out of the house.

Instead, Alf invites Zane to lend a hand at the bait shop as Marilyn dares to hope her mission has been a success.

 Beau is arrested

As the police step up their search, Tane receives a reply from Beau agreeing to meet 'Harper' in the morning.

 Remi tries to reunite Dana and Sonny

Remi offers Sonny support at the house as he continues to experience withdrawals.

Sonny is consumed with guilt and desperate to contact Dana, so Remi leaves her a voicemail to see if she's willing to have a conversation with him.

Dana meets with Remi first to ask whether Sonny really is capable of changing. He's reassuring and insists Sonny wants more than anything to spend the rest of his life with her.

 Dana and Sonny are on the rocks

Remi brings Dana over to see Sonny, but she finds him in a bad state, battling through his recovery.

The next morning, Dana catches Sonny taking painkillers for his withdrawal headaches and immediately jumps to the wrong conclusion.

The awkward misunderstanding highlights how fragile their relationship has become. Can the couple find a way to work through it?

Home and Away in Australia,Tane’s trap leads to Beau being caught, but is Harper’s time in Summer Bay coming to an end?

 

Harper (Jessica Redmayne) and Sonny’s (Ryan Bown) lives have been upended since they met Beau (Blake Richardson) back in early June, but it seems that the dodgy dealer is finally about to land himself behind bars.

Beau first approached Sonny after seeing him being chastised by Tane (Ethan Browne) for pushing himself too hard in the gym.

He offered Sonny the chance to speed up his recovery by taking steroids, but Sonny found two worlds colliding when Beau began dating Harper (Jessica Redmayne), who just so happened to be Dana’s (Ally Harris) sister.

Fast forward a few months and Beau has shown what a dangerous and controlling individual he is.

He forced Sonny to deal steroids for him, backhanding Harper when she complained that he’d pulled her away from Dana and Sonny’s engagement party early, and organising Remi’s (Adam Rowland) abduction after he reported Beau’s dealing to the police.

In recent weeks, Beau was dragged into Yabbie Creek police station after Sonny confessed to Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) that he’d been part of Beau’s steroid operation. Yet without any physical evidence, the police had little reason to hold him.

Thankfully, when Tane discovered that Beau had been abusing Harper, he convinced her to make a statement against her boyfriend, leading to him facing court.

Yet when Beau came face to face with Harper as he was escorted from the station, he made a direct threat against her.

I’m gonna kill you for this,” he shouted. “I’m gonna track you down. I’m gonna find you and your little boy

Unfortunately, as is often the way in Summer Bay, Beau was granted bail, and despite him being given an AVO – meaning he couldn’t go anywhere near Harper – last week saw him make a return to Summer Bay.

The location tracking app gave Harper a heads up that Beau was back, but when the police explained that the app wasn’t enough evidence, Tane (Ethan Browne) told told her that the best thing for her was to get out of the bay.

He organising for her to stay at his cousin’s place far from Summer Bay, somewhere where Beau couldn’t find her.

Before she left, Tane suggested that they swapped phones, so that Beau couldn’t continue to track her. However, Tane had a more sinister plan, and he sent Beau a text from Harper’s phone asking to meet.

At the end of last week, we saw Beau back in Summer Bay, covertly watching Dana (Ally Harris) as she walked home after visiting Harper at Tane’s place.

This week, the police continue to patrol the bay, hoping to pounce if they catch sight of Beau, but to no avail.

Over at the Surf Club, Tane tells Mali (Kyle Shilling) about his plan to lure Beau out of hiding.

Mali tells Tane that he’s concerned that he’ll end up in trouble himself if he does anything to Beau, but Tane knows that he needs to try – Beau isn’t going to walk into the police station on his own, and “someone has to get him there”.

That night, Tane finally gets a text back from Beau – he’s willing to meet ‘Harper’ first thing in the morning.

Tane then heads to the police station, where he tells David (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) that he’s got a plan to bring Beau out of hiding – and while David’s intrigued, Tane warns him that he’s not going to like it.

In the meantime, Beau makes the most of his return to the bay as he heads up to the diner apartment to threaten Sonny, demanding that he retract the statement he gave to the police.

What I did to Remi would be child’s play compared to what I do to you,” he warns, but Sonny is past caring.

“Bring it on,” Sonny replies cooly.

The following morning, Tane’s plan has worked, and Beau arrives in the parkland with flowers for Harper.

When he spots that it’s in fact Tane heading up from the beach towards him, he makes a run for it, only to see police cars pulling up – he’s cornered!

As the officers and Tane all give chase, it’s Tane who gets to Beau first, and he dives on him, tackling him to the ground.

Beau tries to bait Tane into hitting him, but Tane resists and lets David place him under arrest.

David tells Tane that he’s made the right call and assures him that they’ll be putting Beau away for a long time.

Before he’s carted off, Tane issues Beau with a final threat – if he ever comes anywhere near Harper or his son again, Tane won’t hold back.

With Beau now safely in custody, Tane heads back to his cousin’s place to give Harper the good news.

However, despite her happiness that Beau is heading to prison, Harper tells Tane that she doesn’t think she can ever return to Summer Bay.

She explains that she knows that Beau will eventually be released, and she’s terrified of what he’ll do to her and Archie when he is.

With actress Jessica Redmayne believed to have filmed her final scenes for Home and Away earlier this year, has Harper already set foot in Summer Bay for the final time?

---

Meanwhile, Dana is battling with the discovery that Sonny relapsed, as she arrived at the diner apartment to find him shoving a bottle of pills back into his rucksack.

In the aftermath this week, Sonny chases Dana across the parkland, explaining how hard he’s finding his withdrawals, but Dana makes it clear that he’s betrayed her for the last time.

After ending things with Sonny, Dana tells Tane what happened and asks if she can move in with him for a while.

Hearing the news, Remi turns up at Sonny’s place and insists that he’s staying the night, reassuring his friend that he’ll help him through his withdrawals for as long as it takes.

The following morning, Remi heads out as Dana arrives to pick up some more of her things from the apartment and move out for good.

Sonny begs for forgiveness as he tries to stop her from leaving, but she tells him that she doesn’t want to hear from him again – he’s broken their trust and they’re over!

Soon after, a heartbroken Sonny laments to Remi that he’s lost Dana forever, breaking down in tears, his pain exacerbated by his growing steroid withdrawal.

Remi sticks around to support him, and confiscates his phone when Sonny struggles to resist texting Dana.

Sonny eventually manages to convince Remi to reach out on his behalf, to see if Dana’s at least willing to have a conversation. When there’s no reply, Sonny tries to get Remi to follow up on the voicemail, but Remi holds strong.

Eventually, a reply comes through – a message from Dana agreeing to a meeting with Sonny!

Over at the safe house, Dana and Tane arrive to support Harper, but Harper soon picks up on her sister’s low mood, and she’s forced to fess up about her breakup.

When Remi’s voicemail comes through, Tane’s angry that Remi continues to stay loyal to Sonny, but Harper defends him – Sonny made a mistake, and considering Dana’s own history of addiction, she thinks her sister should give him another chance.

Taking Harper’s words on board, Dana invites Remi to the safe house, where she asks him whether Sonny is capable of changing.

Remi backs his friend, telling Dana that what Sonny wants more than anything is to spend the rest of his life with her, pointing out that she wouldn’t have called him if she didn’t feel the same.

As Dana returns to Summer Bay to talk to Sonny, she tells him that she’s willing to try to work through things, and Sonny promises that he’ll do all he can to make it work.

With Sonny still battling withdrawals, the pair head to bed exhausted, ready to continue their discussion the following morning. However, as dawn breaks, Dana heads into the living room to find Sonny knocking back some pills.

She’s furious – despite his promises, he’s not even managed to go one day without turning back to drugs!

Sonny quickly explains that he was just taking painkillers to help with the withdrawal headaches. Yet Dana’s jump to the worst possible conclusion makes it clear just how little trust remains between them.

With Harper planning to leave Summer Bay behind, will Dana stick around and give things with Sonny one last go, or join her sister for a fresh start elsewhere?
