The 'article pages' are reportedly unsafe sites designed to phish users' personal information out of them, and should not be accessed.
A spokesperson for Seven has said "these unauthorised pages have been reported" and urged fans to "engage only with verified accounts for the show and cast members" (via Daily Telegraph Australia).
"Please be aware that actors from both Coronation Street and Emmerdale are currently being impersonated by scammers across all social media platforms," a spokesperson for ITV said last year.
No cast member will ever directly request money for messages, meetings or any kind of personal interaction on social media."
The broadcaster specifically warned fans about videos using deepfake and AI technology to impersonate the actors and offer unofficial meet and greets or tours.
"If you have been contacted, especially on a social media platform via direct or mass message posted to a group, please ensure you report these instances to the relevant platform immediately."
EastEnders’ Penny Branning has received game-changing news about her pregnancy, as she realises that the father of her baby is unlikely to be Vinny Panesar. As she comes to terms with this surprise revelation, Vinny is desperately searching for a way to fund his girlfriend’s future business
Penny discovered that she was pregnant in recent weeks, and she and new partner Vinny decided they wanted to become parents, though they initially faced backlash from Vinny’s mum Suki.
Meanwhile, Oscar accompanied Penny to the hospital and agreed to wait for Vinny while she went for the scan. The sonographer told Penny that her baby was healthy, but things looked quite a bit further along than the 14 weeks she had said.
As Vinny arrived at the hospital and saw the baby for the first time, Penny was left secretly wondering whether he was actually the father.
Outside the café, she was supported by Harry, who was also dealing with some unexpected news after Gina told him that she would probably never want to have kids.
That evening, Lauren and Oscar found Penny in the Square, and she opened up to her cousins about her discovery. Penny admitted that if the baby was conceived any earlier than New Year, then the dad is Harry, not Vinny.
What will Penny do about this shock pregnancy secret?
Tuesday 31st March Episode 8689 Casey is bitterly disappointed. John is forced to own up. Sonny struggles with intimacy
30th March 2026 Monday (Episode 8688) Brax and Ricky face a difficult decision. Mali and Abigail have a heart-to-heart. Cash faces serious consequences.
It will be a dramatic week in Walford.
EastEnders star Laura Doddington has confirmed that her character, Nicola Mitchell, will go through a change in upcoming scenes. A recent storyline has seen the fiery figure come to terms with her pregnancy, but next week will see new drama.
Nicola has been carrying a child for the past few months following her romance with George Knight, with advanced spoilers for the BBC soap confirming that the character would be rushed to hospital before prematurely giving birth to a baby girl.
Before that moment, it becomes increasingly apparent - to both viewers and her loved ones - that Nicola isn't quite herself, and Doddington explains that her character is initially nervous about the health of herself and the baby.
"She is incredibly distracted because she hasn’t felt the baby move," says the actor. "She initially keeps that to herself. With the Knight Fusion launch being an important moment for George, she wants to support him and avoids raising his worries.
Nicola is used to dealing with things on her own and doesn’t want to burden George with any additional worries. She is already dealing with loads of concerns that she wants to keep to herself, convincing herself they may not be serious."
Having experienced false labour with both Harry and Barney, part of her also believes the pains could simply be another false alarm," continues the star, who debuted as Nicola in November 2024.
These worries eventually come to the surface as Nicola prematurely gives birth, though she and George face an anxious wait after the baby is promptly relocated to an incubator to prevent the risk of infection.
"It takes a significant toll on Nicola," says Doddington. "We see a real vulnerability in her, compared to her usual combative and protective parenting style. The emotional strain and the inability to see her baby leaves her broken."
Such is the urgent nature of the storyline, both Nicola and George barely have time to work out the logistics of their co-parenting schedule, but Doddington is confident that the pair would do right by their daughter.
"I think they will make an excellent team, as they bring different energies and moral standings that complement each other," she says. "They have open and honest conversations with each other, addressing things head on rather than avoiding them."
While Nicola's stint in hospital will be the main focus of the week, the beloved character gets herself involved with Penny Branning, who is preparing to raise a child with Vinny Panesar after their bond has strengthened.
In an upcoming twist, it will be revealed that Penny is further along in her pregnancy journey than she initially thought, casting doubt on the theory that the child is Vinny's. As she jogs her memory, she realises that Harry, Nicola's son, could be the father.
Penny initially keeps her suspicions to herself and doesn't disclose anything to Vinny, and comes under fire from Suki as a result of this. Nicola sees this development, and defends Penny from Vinny's mother.
"From Nicola’s perspective, she is simply trying to speak with Penny when Suki interrupts, which infuriates her," shares Doddington. "Her opinion of Suki is already low given the recent issues involving Ravi and Harry.
"With Penny in the early stages of pregnancy, Nicola understands the anxieties that come with that experience. She also has a soft spot for Penny, who has supported Harry throughout his recent rehabilitation."
The pleasantries don't last long, however, when Nicola notices that Penny is acting peculiarly. After doing some digging, Nicola begins to suspect that Harry may be the father of the child, and blackmails Penny into taking a DNA test.
Nicola wants clarity as soon as possible on whether the baby is Harry’s," teases Doddington. "She’s incredibly protective over him and carries guilt about what he has been through.
"She also feels she has fallen short as a mother, so if the baby is his, she wants to support him from the outset. Harry has hinted that he does want children and is beginning to think seriously about his future.
"With Harry and Gina still early in their relationship, she feels it’s important to establish the truth now rather than risk a more painful revelation later, once they have invested more in their future together."
Pia Whitesell showcased her sensational figure during a sun-soaked beach day in Malibu with husband Patrick Whitesell.
The former Home and Away star, 42, took to Instagram to share a series of snaps, appearing completely at ease as she soaked up the coastal views.
In one striking image, Pia looked radiant as she sipped on a cool, refreshing drink, all while flaunting her toned bikini body, while another captured Patrick having a well-earned break by smoking a cigar.
The model stunned in the barely-there swimwear, highlighting her trim physique and sun-kissed glow as she posed effortlessly by the shoreline.
Elsewhere, Pia was seen enjoying a playful moment on the sand with her multimillionaire husband Patrick, 61.
The Hollywood powerbroker flaunted his muscular frame as he went shirtless in a pair of casual shorts.
The loved-up couple appeared completely relaxed as they strolled along the beach together, soaking in the idyllic setting.
Pia resides in a lavish $57million Los Angeles mansion with Patrick.
She is known to travel between America and Australia, having recently been spotted in Sydney.
Her career skyrocketed in 2014 when she landed the role of Kat Chapman on Home and Away.
She went public with her relationship with Patrick in late 2019, before the pair secretly tied the knot in 2021.
Patrick is the executive chairman of William Morris Endeavor and is considered one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood, with clients including Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale, and Ben Affleck.
He was previously married to journalist Lauren Sánchez, who is now wed to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos.
Patrick shares two children – son Evan, 19, and daughter Ella, 17 – with Lauren, while Pia has sons Isaiah, 22, and Lennox, 19, from two previous relationships.
'For me, it's honestly the best, most heartwarming thing to see the blending of four teenagers who were strangers just a few years ago,' she told Marie Claire Australia.
'We sit around the table every night, enjoying each other's company, having a laugh as we share our stories. We spent Thanksgiving together; how lucky are we to have all found each other?'
Pia also admitted she leans on her family during times of hardship, such as when they lost a house during last year's California wildfires.
"I got the script and I just cried."
However, according to Goodrem, Nina's personality could have been very different had she not intervened. The actor shared that the role was rewritten to suit her vision, after she had a word with the show bosses.
Appearing on ITV's This Morning, Goodrem shared that she began acting at a young age and used the money to finance her very first musical demo. After launching her singing career, she was offered the role of Nina – but not as we know her.
"We thought 'oh, we'll put her as the bad-girl-turned-good' and I got the script and I just cried because I had written this song 'Born to Try' and I just felt in my heart that that would be, you know, in that moment I just didn't feel that was the right place for my song."
The star explained that she spoke to the "amazing" producers to adjust the character, which led to the Nina saw on screen. She acknowledged that it was a bold move as she was only 15 or 16 at the time.
I don't know if I would have done it now. My parents were outside the office going 'oh my gosh!'" she laughed.
As for her singing career, Goodrem will soon be representing Australia in this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria. She will be performing the song 'Eclipse', which she co-wrote with Jonas Myrin, Ferras Alqaisi and Michael Fatkin.
It feels like a celebration. I'm kinda approaching it like I'm really excited to be able to be over here, getting to share new music," she said. "I just feel really grateful to get to bring the song and bring it to life on the stage."
She added: "It's definitely questioned my songwriting, you know, when everyone dissects your song. Me and the producers and writers have been like 'oh we've never experienced like that dissect'. But it's really fun. It's enjoyable."
