WEDDING! EastEnders, BBC One, 7.30pm The members of the normally anonymous (except for Dr Legg) east end Jewish community are out in force today in EastEnders to celebrate the wedding of Judith Bernstein. And this is also a very special event for viewers. As you will know if you’ve been watching this week, there is [...]

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 at [...]

NUPTIALS! Hollyoaks, Channel 4, 6.30pm For months, we have been moaning that the soaps haven’t been on form lately. Well, this week, all that is about to change, with some great storylines across the board, including two soap weddings, at least one soap death, some soap gaiety, and some serious stuff to boot. All of [...]

NUPTIALS! EastEnders, BBC Two, 7.30pm The current crop of storylines in EastEnders just make me sigh. A lot. Like many people, I really am willing the soap to be awesome. I walked away from it for several years, returned as it started to improve, but lately it’s just sliding again. The problem isn’t characterisation: they [...]

TRAUMA! Hollyoaks, Channel 4, 6.30pm So after what feels like months of the tedious will-they-won’t-they antics all soap couples have to go through before a wedding, and the obligatory outing-the-priest at the ceremony, Max and Steph finally marry today in Hollyoaks. So far they have proved a likeable couple, much more suitable than their Neighbours [...]

NUPTIALS! EastEnders, BBC1, 7.30pm This is clearly a bad, bad week for wedding karma. We hope none of our readers are planning to get hitched on Saturday, or at least if they are, that they don’t consider the events of soap operas to be in any way portents of how things are likely to go. [...]

TRICK? Coronation Street, ITV1, 7.30pmTREAT! Drop Dead Gorgeous, BBC3, 9.00pm Pumpkins! Satanic overtones! Stupid costumes! Going begging from door to door! Something about All Hallow’s Eve brings out the romantic in Weatherfield residents, and who can blame them? It’s two years to the day since Jason ditched Lovely Violet at Les and Cilla’s shambolic wedding [...]

CAUGHT! Hollyoaks, Channel 4, 6.30pm It’s not that often that we get to use our “soap gaiety” and “soap weddings” tags in the same post, and to be honest we’re rather stretching things to use them both here, but what the hell: it’s gay-related, and it’s nuptial-related. You can’t say fairer than that. The reason [...]

WEDDING! EastEnders, BBC1, 8.00pm All good things must come to an end, as a wise person once said. (We think it was Nelly Furtado.) And so it is with great sadness that we come to mark the passing of Sophie Thompson from EastEnders for, in an age where it’s quite hard to find good things [...]

CARNAGE! Hollyoaks, Channel 4, 6.30pm It’s a well-known fact that soap weddings never run smoothly, so why on earth would anyone want to have a double wedding? Surely that’s just asking for twice the amount of trouble? Especially when both brides are members of the McQueen family, and hence are on such friendly terms with [...]
