00:00Sharon is here with all the latest, so gossip before we get into it though, let's remind ourselves of what's
00:04been going on this week.
00:07In the square, Rab is back, but when will he find out Max bedded his girl?
00:13I'm a crazy fella.
00:15Any idea who he is?
00:17Er, no.
00:20And Shaz is back too. Good news for us. Not so much Zoe.
00:24Sharon, what do you want?
00:26Whoa! What the hell? How are you?
00:29You lied that my dead husband was their dad.
00:31Just so you could get money to go and look for them.
00:34In Corrie, Kit made a surprise proposal.
00:37However, Sarah hit him with a surprise of her own, confessing she's a killer.
00:42It wasn't Barry.
00:45It was me.
00:47Kit didn't take it well.
00:49Kit...
00:50What are you going to do, Kit?
00:52Kit!
00:53And in the Dales, are the symptoms in trouble as Kev's...
00:56Remember just where he knew Serena from?
00:59What she is, however, is police.
01:02Your cousin's a copper.
01:05I'm talking the truth.
01:06I slept with Jerry.
01:07And I could not be any more sorry.
01:10Yeah.
01:11Max having a few problems for giving Ross for that one.
01:21That was the bitch you gave us last week.
01:23It was.
01:24That's it.
01:24In motion.
01:25Yes, not Al.
01:27Right.
01:27Let's start the coronation stream.
01:29It is back tonight with an hour long special to make up for the missing episodes and the
01:33schedules.
01:35Start of a very big week for Betsy and a very heavy storyline.
01:41Hello.
01:43Hello.
01:44Hello.
01:45Hello.
01:45Can I see you?
01:46Doxing women, so I just stepped up.
01:47What happened, Ryan?
01:48I had no idea.
01:49I found her on the kitchen floor.
01:50I don't know.
01:51The tap was still on there, so she must have collapsed.
01:53She was fine.
01:54This morning, she was fine.
01:55She was laughing.
01:56I don't think someone was kicking off about her getting jam in the butter.
01:58She said she was going to go to the shop and get some water on it.
02:00Okay.
02:00She was fine.
02:01Come on.
02:02I'll tell you too.
02:03Come on.
02:03We'll be on.
02:04We'll be on.
02:05We'll be on.
02:06We'll be on.
02:07So then Betsy's still.
02:08So what's your friend?
02:10She's had a stroke.
02:12Right.
02:12And what they've confirmed this morning, and what's in the episode that's actually out
02:15already on ITVX, it is a very hard-hitting storyline.
02:20They're covering non-fatal strangulation, consensual choking during sex.
02:27I feel odd just using those words, and it's a term I feel uncomfortable using, talking
02:33about the soaps, but I felt uncomfortable when I first heard they were doing this storyline,
02:38but then I looked at the stats behind it, and they're terrifying.
02:43Over 55% of 16 to 34-year-olds have tried it, and what the storyline is doing, and they're
02:50saying the first step's gone out, and I have to say it's had a very positive reaction from
02:54the people that have seen it.
02:56They're saying the performances, the writing is so good.
02:59It is raising awareness.
03:01There is no safe way of doing this.
03:04This is what people are trying, and Betsy will try this with Dylan, and she ends up having
03:11a stroke, and then we're playing the story of her long-term recovery, and that it just
03:16was not safe.
03:17There is no safe way of doing it, and she looks so small, so young there, and she is terrific.
03:23They all are terrific in tonight's episode as they come to terms and realise what they've
03:28done, so it's all about examining what's out there on the internet, what people might
03:31be looking at, what they might be trying.
03:33It's going to be a very hard-hitting storyline.
03:35It starts in today's episode.
03:37Elsewhere, as we saw on the recap, Kit found out that Sarah is a killer.
03:42He's going to try and, oh, well that's, okay, so yeah, she gets arrested.
03:47I was going to say that DS Swain is on to her, but he's a little bit distracted.
03:52He's going to try and help her get away with it.
03:54We've seen he is a little bit of a bent cop.
03:56Yes.
03:56He's going to start saying, delete all the errors from Gary's phone.
04:00Is she going to get away with it?
04:01Surely, they can't send Sarah to jail, surely.
04:05But yeah, she looks like she's in a prison.
04:07Either that or she's joining a netball team.
04:09Yes.
04:09One or the other.
04:10Prison or netball.
04:10We're doing a cycling proficiency.
04:12It might be cycling proficiency, we'll do that.
04:14Let's look at Emda.
04:15Also on for an hour tonight, same time as the footy.
04:18So you might want to watch it on ITVX now.
04:21Last night we learned that truth about Serena, that she's a cop.
04:24And here is how everyone takes the news.
04:27Bear in mind that they're all covering up the fact that Victoria murdered John.
04:32She's blooded.
04:34What?
04:35Blood?
04:35You know, slapping for police officers.
04:37Yeah, got that beer.
04:38Right, well, yeah, we appreciate you telling us, Kev.
04:41Don't we, man?
04:43Sweet.
04:44Well, get off now, shall I?
04:46Yeah.
04:46And I'm sorry about Lewis and Nicole.
04:50Yeah.
04:50But you're not.
04:58I told you there was some off about her.
05:00But you just want to listen to me, would you?
05:02So now what?
05:02Well, if Kev's right, we'll nip it in the bud.
05:05For Vic's sake.
05:07Yeah, for Vic's sake.
05:08Big shocks.
05:09Kev, you were saying earlier.
05:10Oh.
05:11Danger.
05:11What else can they do to him?
05:13So he's already battling cancer, running into burning buildings, saving the dog.
05:17Oh.
05:18And he has a fall.
05:19And they've thrown a rock at him as well.
05:22He's unravelling.
05:23He's struggling to accept that Kyle is possibly closer to Graham than him.
05:27He storms off into the night and has a fall down a cliff and it looks like a tree's fallen
05:31on and a rock.
05:32But you know what?
05:33Kane is Teflon.
05:34Again, he's one of those.
05:36He's a full throw.
05:36I'm sure he will get that rock off.
05:38And he will be safe.
05:43Plus, elsewhere, Dawn is planning a wedding, but is getting a little bit jealous to see
05:47that Billy has started dating Gabby.
05:50Has she chosen the wrong man?
05:52Yes, she has.
05:52Because Billy was lovely and he never stole anybody's kidneys.
05:55Right.
05:56No EastEnders tonight because the football is on, but it is back on Thursday.
06:00Vicky and Ross are back from honeymoon.
06:02Tad awkward when you come home to find the person that you admitted sleeping with before
06:06the wedding in the kitchen in his underpants.
06:08Ooh.
06:09So I'll just come in for my washroom.
06:12Can I have my trousers, please?
06:13Yeah.
06:16There you go.
06:17It's all right?
06:18Yeah.
06:19Good time, yeah?
06:20Yeah.
06:21Yeah, we had an amazing time, didn't we?
06:23Yeah.
06:27The people watching was something else.
06:30Skaters by the sea, bodybuilders strutting up and down.
06:33Yeah, you fit right in.
06:35Nice one.
06:36Listen, I've got to get to the gym, but nice to see you back, yeah?
06:42Ooh, orcs, orcs.
06:45And Zoe's leaving?
06:47She is.
06:48Now I do want to say, because I could see it all over social media, the story that she's
06:52supposedly fired because she has to go on holiday.
06:55That isn't quite true.
06:56And actually the paper that put that out has corrected it and they've changed it online,
07:01but unfortunately the earlier version has gone and done the rounds.
07:04Michelle actually asked to leave.
07:05It was a very mutual thing.
07:06Michelle asked to leave as well, but yes, she is going.
07:09They're not confirming whether she's being killed off or not, but that is the speculation.
07:13It is a shame.
07:14I mean, she's a legacy character.
07:16Yeah.
07:16Yeah, she's alleged.
07:17They never played, in my view, all the storylines they could have done with Sam Mitchell and Sharon
07:23and it just, they just weren't there.
07:26But it's, whenever you see a legacy character go that you've known for years and decades,
07:31it is always a shame.
07:33But she is going, people are now speculating, might she be the murder victim that Matt Browning
07:37is being arrested for, because we're trying to find that.
07:40And Joel's back this week as well.
07:41So can Vicky live alongside the man that tried to attack her and sack in his underpants all at the
07:49same time?
07:50It's a lot.
07:51Peak safes.
07:52It is a lot.
07:53Thank you, Sharon.
07:55After the break, stand by your face, because we are playing spin to Wednesday.
08:00Yeah, plus with airline baggage restrictions only getting tighter,
08:03Grace Farrell is here with her top tips to help you pack like a pro.
08:06See you after this.
