EastEnders reveals Nancy birth chaos amid dramatic week for the Carters

 Will Lee and Linda arrive in time?

EastEnders’ Nancy Carter goes into labour earlier than expected next week, as the drama for the entire family takes another surprising turn.

When Nancy returned to Walford last month, Linda was shocked to discover that her daughter was heavily pregnant. But there was another twist ahead, when Lee arrived and Nancy revealed she was the surrogate for her brother’s baby!

Things have been tricky, however, with Lee’s excessive drinking leaving him estranged from his partner Jess and leaving Nancy unsure about where she stands legally in terms of parental rights.

Next week, there is huge drama for the Carters, as Linda is blindsided by a mysterious phone call, and is forced to go to returning villain Janine for answers.

What she hears is difficult for Linda to take, and after a heart-to-heart with partner Max, the pair head to see Janine again – where Max makes a decision that may come back to haunt him.

Linda tells Lee, Nancy and Johnny the truth about what she’s discovered, and later has an emotional chat with Nancy, who is reflecting on this revelation.

But as Zack turns up to check on her, Nancy is then caught by surprise when her waters break, and her priorities are forced to completely change.

Despite planning this moment for months, Nancy finds herself without the two most important people as she is rushed to the maternity department. Neither father-to-be Lee, nor their mum Linda, are by her side as Nancy faces giving birth without them.

"Nancy never envisioned this when she agreed to be Lee and Jess’ surrogate, and now she’s faced with a very different set of circumstances!" says our Walford insider.

"Lee is a complete mess, and Linda’s head is all over the place, so it’s fallen to Elaine, Johnny and Zack to be there for her."

As the family desperately ring Linda and Lee to get them to the hospital in time, mother and son are locked in an intense conversation. Intoxicated Lee is pouring his heart out over his fears about fatherhood, and that he’ll fail his child because he’s in such a bad state.

For Linda, it’s heartbreaking because she knows that Lee could be an amazing dad if he can get his life back on track. Will Lee find the strength to overcome his demons as Nancy brings his child into the world?

Home and Away confirms when classic episodes will launch on Channel 5's new station

 Take a trip down memory lane.

Channel 5 has revealed when it'll be showing classic Home and Away episodes on its brand-new channel. 5Drama made its debut in lieu of 5Select last month (21 October), with an array of exciting series, including The Hardacres, All Creatures Great and Small and The Madame Blanc Mysteries.

Now, viewers will be able to take a trip down memory lane as the channel will be airing Home and Away's first two seasons, including the very first episode, from 16 November.

Both 5Drama and 5Streaming will be showing classic episodes in double bills from Monday to Friday from 12pm, followed by a catch-up stack over the weekend.

But that's not all, as 30 episodes will be available to stream over on 5Streaming from launch, followed by weekly drops of 10 episodes over the coming weeks.

The series first began in 1988 and introduced audiences to Summer Bay and its residents, eventually cementing itself as a household name in Australian soap television. Even some famous actors got their start on Home and Away, including Chris Hemsworth, Isla Fisher and Naomi Watts.

Ray Meagher (who has played Alf Stewart since 1988) and Emily Symons (who portrays Marilyn Chambers) both expressed their delight at the re-runs, as Stewart said there is tons of history for fans to look back on.

"It’s fantastic to know that Home and Away is continuing to find new audiences in the UK, and now viewers can go right back to the beginning on 5Drama," he continued.

There’s a lot of history in those early episodes - and a lot of memories for Alf and the whole Summer Bay community. I hope fans enjoy taking a trip back to where it all began."

For Symons, the show has a very special place in her heart. "It’s so special to think that UK fans can revisit the very beginning of Home and Away on 5Drama," she said. "Marilyn has been such a huge part of my life, and seeing those early episodes again is a wonderful reminder of where her story began.

"I know there are so many Home and Away fans in the UK who have grown up with these characters, so I hope they love going back to Summer Bay and rediscovering some of those early stories."

EastEnders reveals heartbreaking scheme to save Amy in early iPlayer release

 Denise makes a major decision.

EastEnders has aired a heartbreaking scheme to bring Amy Mitchell home, as she remains on the run with evil groomer Craig Ingram. With Craig and Amy intending to travel to France to start a new life, their plans were suddenly put on hold as Amy’s loved ones discovered the bank account she had opened, and the police swiftly froze it.

When Craig realised that he could no longer access the £100,000 of inheritance money, he was furious and blamed Amy for what happened – before hitting her, in a cruel act of violence.

In today’s episode, Amy was traumatised by the events of the previous day, but Craig apologised for his actions and the teenager was drawn back in by his words.

Craig said that they still needed to leave the country and told Amy to steal money from the salon so they could make their fresh start.

Meanwhile, Amy’s loved ones gathered to discuss what to do next, and Sean suggested that Denise record a video for Amy and pretend that she has taken a turn for the worse in her cancer ordeal.

Jack was adamant that they shouldn’t tempt fate, but Denise was keen to do whatever it takes to get Amy back.

Denise, Sean and Chelsea went to the hospital and found an empty room for Denise to record a video – where she told Amy that she was going to die and she wanted to say goodbye to her.

At the same time, Amy and Craig arrived in the Square and Amy used the spare key to get into the salon. Before she could take any cash, Josh arrived, and he wasted no time in showing her Denise’s video.

Devastated Amy ran off without taking any money, but when she returned to Craig, she urged him to take her to the hospital to say goodbye to Denise.

As Josh informed Jack and the family about what happened, Craig drove Amy to the hospital and waited in the car. Sean and Chelsea saw Amy arrive, and the teen had an emotional reunion with Denise.

Denise was concerned when she saw the bruise on Amy’s face, but the plan fell apart when a nurse was surprised to see Denise and Amy realised that her latest health update was a lie.

Meanwhile, Sean used the opportunity to find Craig, and he cornered him in the car park. What will Sean do next?

Home and Away 8833 Episode 3rd November 2026

 

Home and Away's Alf Stewart to mourn for Roo in devastating new scenes...

 Is everything as it seems?

Home and Away is lining up devastating scenes for Alf Stewart as he's forced to accept that his beloved daughter Roo may be dead.

Alf is about to take centre stage in a huge storyline as Roo disappears in sinister circumstances – and the stakes couldn't be higher as he starts to fear the worst.

Roo's disappearance plot has already begun on Australian screens, while viewers in the UK will see the drama kick off over the next three weeks as the show builds to its end-of-year finale on Channel 5.

In this week's Australian episodes, police sergeant David Langham awaits forensic reports on a body which has been found in connection with the tragic case.

His investigations at the crime scene lead him to chat to a passer-by, who claims that he saw Roo chatting to a hitchhiker shortly before she disappeared.

While this talkative witness also seems suspicious, David lets his guard down as the stranger explains that his wife has died. David feels a connection with him, reflecting on his own loss, so he ignores the red flags.

This proves to be David's first major mistake in the case. Later, we see the dodgy man watching a news report about Roo's disappearance before pulling out a hammer with dried blood on it. Has he killed Roo?

As the week continues, Summer Bay gathers to hold a vigil in Roo's honour. Before long, Alf breaks down as he accepts Roo's apparent death for the first time.

He's then joined by Justin Morgan and Leah Patterson as he lays flowers at the crime scene.

Jeremy Lindsay Taylor, who plays David, told TV Week: "The people of Summer Bay are devastated by the apparent passing of Roo, one of the most loved and respected people in the community.

"Tears are shed, hearts broken. David feels deeply responsible. He feels a failure."

Later in the week, Alf visits the police station to check in for updates on Roo's fate. David confirms that he has an answer, but is it good news or bad?

UK fans won't see these scenes until early 2027, as the show will take a Christmas break on Channel 5.

However, die-hard fans are already aware that Georgie Parker – who plays Roo – hasn't left Home and Away and the current saga isn't the last we'll see of her...

Hollyoaks' Ste Hay is finally tracked down – here's what happens next

 He has been thrown a much-needed lifeline.

Hollyoaks' Steve Hay has been in turmoil ever since he was kidnapped by Imran Maalik, but things may finally be looking up for him. Fans first saw a dishevelled-looking Ste locked up for the 64th day by vengeful Imran.

Ste listened to his kidnapper, who disguised his voice over a speaker, tell him that he killed Ella and did not pay for his crimes. Therefore, Imran decided to take matters into his own hands.

Over at the hospital, Ste’s son Lucas received a visit from Cindy, who took photos of Imran’s plans for Ste and where he was holding him.

As their conversation continued, they were overheard by Sienna, Ste’s best friend, who demanded to know where Ste was and who was behind his kidnapping.

Cindy showed her pictures of the building plans, and when Sienna thought she knew where it was, she immediately set off to find her friend.

As the pair approached the building, they spotted Harper, who is working for Imran, entering where they thought Ste may be held and followed her inside.

Sienna and Cindy confronted Harper and demanded she give them the keys to the rooms, and she obliged.

As they entered they saw Ste, who was surviving on just basic provisions, looking worse for wear and pleaded with him to leave with them, but it was not that straightforward.

Sienna and Cindy initially struggled to get through to Ste, who claimed he “deserved to be here” and began to believe all the damaging things Imran was saying about him.

But nobody knows Ste more than his best friend Sienna, who reassured him that she was by his side. Furthermore, Cindy forgave him for killing her niece.

“I’m not leaving without you,” Sienna said. After seeing some familiar faces who offered some comforting words, Ste burst into tears and hugged Sienna, indicating that he will return to Hollyoaks village with her.

Images showed what will happen in the following episode when Ste is reunited with his sister Leela and friend Tony, who are delighted to see him after a long period.

Monday's episode ended in explosive fashion when Lucas tracked down Imran after leaving hospital, resulting in a brawl between the pair.

Lucas’ sister found the pair fighting and in a bid to stop the scuffle, she yelled “stop!”, before picking up a hard object and throwing it.

It appears to have struck either Lucas or Imran, judging by Leah’s stunned expression, before the credits rolled. What will happen next?
