Apologies for missing out last month, but I’ve had the kind of poor health that would make me a shoo-in for next year’s X Factor. In a couple of months that have had us blubbing at many soap deaths and despairing at many unwanted returning characters, who have our forum users been loving and [...]

It’s been a while since we previewed most of the soaps, and by now they should all be in the throes of post-Christmas-near-apocalypse fallout so as there is nothing particularly exciting on tonight that we haven’t already previewed recently, we thought we’d give you a little run down [...]

Ever since Kate Ritchie announced her departure from Home and Away, we’ve been wondering just how Sally’s exit storyline might unfold.
