If you have been watching Five lately, you will have noticed some trailers telling us that ’someone we love will die’ in Neighbours very soon. If you have also been following recent episodes where there has been much mention of Lucas working on a certain vehicle, you will have no doubt picked up on [...]

ADULT! Hollyoaks Later, E4, 10.00pm

Isn’t regular Hollyoaks brilliant at the moment? With the wonderful storylines about Warren’s affairs and the McQueen/Hutchinson on/off relationships, Rhys and Gilly running round at the MTV awards, teenagers being naughty at school and, well, Ravi, they are really spoiling us, aren’t they? So get ready to get excited [...]

BOOM! Hollyoaks, Channel 4, 6.30pm

Last night on Hollyoaks was a bit of a corker: Newt being ignored when he said Niall had abducted Jacqui, because apparently being schizophrenic also = lying about random shit! Jack being beaten up by Niall then deciding he needed to return to being alive and save the McQueens! Myra [...]

FIRE! Neighbours, Five, 1.40pm, 5.35pm; Five Life 7.00pm

Have you noticed something about the cast of Neighbours lately? That’s right, there are millions of them, and not all of them neccessary. So it’s surely time for a spot of cast culling…

GONE! Neighbours, BBC1, 2:10 and 5:35pm
Disclaimer: Forgive our shameless over-indulgence today. We are compensating for the absolutely ridiculous lack of attention that the national magazines, papers and websites have given to the biggest change in daytime TV for over 20 years.

SENDOFF! Coronation Street, ITV1, 7.30/8.30pm
We know it’s probably felt a bit like Vera overload on here over the week and a half, as a nation has cried and hugged and shared and learned and steadily tried to come to terms with its loss. And we make no apologies for this: we are, after all, [...]
