EastEnders' Vinny to face new cheating scandal – but there's a big twist

 Gina gets suspicious.

EastEnders’ Gina Knight leaps to a huge conclusion next week, and tells Penny Branning that her boyfriend Vinny Panesar is having an affair!

When Gina spots Vinny engaging in some suspicious behaviour, she immediately spills the beans to Penny, and they decide to investigate what he’s up to. They track him down to Knight Fusion, and are shocked to find him having a cosy chat with another woman…

The delicious irony is that Vinny is totally innocent, and it’s Penny who’s withholding the secret that could blow their world apart," says our Walford insider.

"Gina believes he’s cheating, and when she sees him meeting with a mystery woman, she marches over and throws a drink over him. The commotion almost derails what’s actually going on, and the subsequent lie leads Vinny to seriously reassess his future."

The woman Vinny’s meeting is actually an investor, who he is trying to bring on board with the business. Penny is mortified when she realises that she and Gina have it so wrong, so when the investor wrongly assumes she and Vinny are engaged, she goes with it.

Penny is feeling pretty rotten about doubting Vinny’s fidelity, especially as she secretly knows her baby son Ethan could be Harry’s biological child!

Worse still, she hasn’t let Gina know that she and Harry slept together around the time of Ethan’s conception, and feels dreadful about lying to her best mate.

In a way, if Vinny had been doing her wrong, Penny might have felt less terrible about her own secrets and lies," reckons our snoop.

"Instead, she’s forced to tell another lie to get them out of this particular scrape. The problem is that once they pretend to be engaged, the news spreads fast – and soon their nearest and dearest are very excited about the impending wedding!"

As Penny despairs about the misunderstanding and the couple are forced to come clean to their disappointed relatives, Vinny has a realisation. He’s never been happier and wants to take his relationship with the mother of his little boy to the next level.

But as Vinny dreams of proposing to Penny for real, he has no idea that the woman he wants to spend his life with has been lying to him for months…

Home and Away's Jo Langham to face huge trouble in death storyline

 Bad news for Jo!

Things could be about to take a turn for the worse for Home and Away’s Jo Langham. Shortly after the character‘s first appearance on the soap in June 2025, she secured a job as a cardiothoracic nurse at the hospital.

She has been doing well, but now her position is at serious risk in scenes set to air this week in Australia and early 2027 in the UK on Channel 5.

TV Week reports that Dr Amelia, who works alongside Jo, delivers shocking news that a patient who she operated on has died after their pathology report showed signs of sepsis.

This came as a huge surprise to Jo, especially after her previous treatments went according to plan.

What exacerbates matters is when Dr Amelia locates a surgical sponge that was left in the patient’s body during the procedure.

As Jo conducted the operation, she could be held responsible as she miscounted the number sponges used which needed to be removed.

Jo, now extremely worried, calls her sister Lacey to the hospital to discuss the allegations looming over her.

They then made the ill-advised move to access the patient’s files to see if Jo was responsible for her death, and they did not like what they saw.

Not only did the contents of the file prove Jo's responsibility but along with her sister, they were caught in the act by Dr Amelia.

Along with allegedly causing a patient’s death and looking at patient files unauthorised, there could be devastating ramifications for Jo moving forward.

In other Home and Away storylines, Jo’s father and policeman David is determined to find missing person Roo. Therefore, David decides to take matters into his own hands and goes out on his own to try and find her.

Roo went missing while driving home to Summer Bay and it was feared she was dead. But TV Week reports that she is alive, but is lost and alone in the bush.

The police force have decided they will no longer be investigating her disappearance due to a lack of leads. Despite being told to stand down, the defiant David is doing whatever it takes to find Roo, but will he be successful?

Home and Away confirms Roo Stewart's fate as David makes a big decision...

 Answers at last…

Home and Away has confirmed Roo Stewart's fate – just as David Langham makes a risky move to crack the missing person's case.

The show recently raised the possibility that Roo could be dead after she went missing while driving home to Summer Bay.

The situation appeared bleak when a body was found in the boot of Roo's burnt-out car. However, this week's episodes in Australia reveal that Roo is very much alive – but she's certainly not out of the woods yet…

TV Week reports that Roo is alone in the bush, hungry and fighting for survival.

She tries to keep herself warm next to a makeshift fire, but is living in fear as she worries that the person who attacked her could be nearby.

Back in the Bay, Alf refuses to accept that his beloved daughter is gone until he receives cast-iron proof. Sadly, his optimism isn't shared by the local police force, who have called off the search for Roo due to the lack of leads.

Police sergeant David is blocked from any further active investigation. However, sympathising with Alf's plight, he decides to search on his own in the hope of finding a new clue.

Jeremy Lindsay Taylor, who plays David, told the magazine: "Alf and David have a mutual respect and a genuine friendship.

"Both are stoic men, hard on the outside but, when it comes to their daughters, they are gentle and loving and devoted.

"As Alf's fears and frustrations grow, so does his temper towards David and his inability to find his daughter. David understands and sympathises. He feels the pressure of letting down a mate."

He added: "[David] prides himself on being a great cop. His personality won’t allow this feeling to remain for long."

Could David be the one who tracks down Roo and brings her home? Or could he be too late?
