It was all punches, weddings and revelations in Tuesday’s Eastenders, as the most unlikely affair in soap history finally came to a head.

Some weeks ago, it was revealed that ‘gruff’ divorcee Phil Mitchell was having a wild affair with model-like widow Dawn – unbeknown to her love struck boyfriend Garry. Although Garry’s best friend Minty found out, he vowed to not tell him – but only if she told him herself. Completely torn between her two loves, Dawn scooted off to stay with her mother in the country, but upon her return, none the wiser, Minty pressed Dawn to choose – Phil or Garry?

After having a difficult time coming to a decision, Tuesday’s episode was filled with soapy drama and saw Dawn attempting to explain to Minty that she was having trouble deciding. As she continued, Dawn could see that Minty was growing more angry and suddenly blurted out that she had ended things with Phil and that he was upset at her decision.

Later, Minty saw Phil and Phil insisted he ‘wouldn’t be bothered in the slightest’ if Dawn decided to end things. Angry to find out Dawn hadn’t actually made a decision, Minty finds Dawn and tells her his conversation with Phil and demands she comes clean. But Dawn has other ideas…

Eastenders would certainly not be the UK soap we all know and love without a good brawl, and seething Dawn heads on over to the Vic. She screams at Phil for leading her on and is in shock that he doesn’t care for their relationship. In true Eastenders style, when Phil announces ‘it was only a bit of fun’ Dawn lunges for him. Unfortunately, Phil blocks her punch and Dawn storms out.

Later on in the episode, UK soap star characters Dawn and Garry return to the pub and announce to the whole building – they are getting married.
Although over the moon for Garry, fans can’t help but wonder if this will all come out in the wash… and on the wedding day in true UK soap style.

Soap: Eastenders

Character Name: Peggy Mitchell

Actor Name: Barbara Windsor

Soap TV show Eastenders character Peggy Mitchell is an Albert Square veteran – the mother of Phil, Sam and Grant Mitchell, Peggy has had more of her fair share of drama and unbelievably enough, all Peggy is after is the simple and easy life but it never seems to happen for her!

70 year old glamour puss soap star character Barbara Windsor who has been playing Peggy since 2004, is mostly known for her Eastenders role and many Carry On films that she acted in when she was younger always portraying roles of the ‘good time girl’ and was known for being a ditzy blonde in sexy attire! Lately, her character in Eastenders, Peggy, has been going through a difficult time with new husband nasty Archie, played by Larry Lamb. Although the characters have an explosive relationship on sceen, Barbara often expresses her fondness for Larry. “I used to watch Larry and think ‘Oh I wish I could work with him’” Barbara says “I am so glad he’s in it”. She also described her first scenes with Larry as ‘wonderful’ and a match made in Eastenders soapy heaven.

It has also been announced that her on screen estranged and imprisoned daughter Sam Mitchell will be returning to the square, and as Barbara has such a great relationship with all of her on screen children, she was delighted to hear she was returning and is already speculating how their characters will react. “There’ll be her, my little princess, Ronnie and Roxy… Phil doesn’t stand a chance, does he?”.

70 year old Peggy has no intentions of leaving the Eastenders soap any time soon and that is certainly great news for fans of the Eastenders land lady!

UK soap opera Coronation street is a street of unlikely and dramatic events this week as Joe reaches the brink of break down, Gail grows more and more worried, Tina and Jason win their bid and Rosie attempts to seduce Luke.

In the next few days, Coronation Street soap viewers will see an extremely desperate Joe steal the keys to the medical centre from Gail’s bag. Soap TV character Gail has been visibly worried about her partner lately, and just as she’s beginning to calm, he pulls a stunt that shocks her even more. In the beginning of the Coronation Street episode, soapy viewers will see Gail frantically searching for Joe, whilst stopping and asking a number of residents whether they’ve seen him – they haven’t.

A slowly suspicious and worried soap star character Gail returns home and suddenly hears an alarm – she realises the alarm is coming from the medical centre and runs to see what had caused the alarm to sound. Unbeknown to her, Joe had snatched her keys earlier that morning. Joe smashes the pharmacy to pieces and ignores the alarm – he is searching desperately for more pain killers and is shaking and in a complete panic. Gail, now worried now she has realised her keys are missing, wanders into the medical centre and finds Joe quivering and upset and is in visible shock.

Will Soapy character Gail now find out the truth about junkie Joe?

On a slightly more happier side of the street, Coronation Street soap TV show love birds Jason and Tina place a winning bid on No. 12 and win it for a bargain at just over £50,000, and Rosie makes it her mission to push Michelle out of the picture and worm her way into Luke’s life.
