Tonight’s episode of Eastenders was full of scenes that fans and viewers have been waiting for as the affair of the year finally came to a head and everything ‘came out in the wash’.

Yesterday’s episode of Eastenders saw Garry and Dawn on their stag and hen nights. Dawn admitted to Manda, Shirley and Heather that she had slept with Phil and Shirley demanded that she tell Garry the truth.

Dawn had good intentions but when she saw Garry snuggling up with her daughter Summer, she just couldn’t bring herself to do it. Meanwhile, Garry called it a night too early into his stag do when he had a sumo themed punch up with best mate Minty, but it was the end of the episode that left fans gasping, as Minty told Garry he had something to tell him.
Tonight’s episode opened with a stunned looking Garry lying wide eyed on the sofa and from the look on his wounded face, it was clear he has discovered the truth about the affair Dawn had with boss and friend, Phil, just weeks ago.

As Dawn and the girls get ready, Dawn reveals that she never loved Phil and that Garry was always the one she wanted to be with, which lightens the mood and cues the girls to help each other get ready. Meanwhile, it seems Garry is still set on getting married as he meets his best man and friends in the Square, but Minty can’t help but notice he is waiting for Dawn to walk out of Shirley’s flat. As she does, she tries to hide, adamant that Garry seeing her in white before the ceremony will result in bad luck… ironically.

Garry screams at Dawn across the street and asks her if she loves him, and as she looks on confused, Garry turns to Phil and throws a punch which lands Phil in the face!
It seems kind hearted Garry was just biding his time, but will this loveable couple be able to get through this and live happily ever after?

In the last week, fans of UK soap Eastenders, have seen Zainab excited over receiving her sons A Level results and spent hours on the day itself preparing the perfect congratulatory dinner and party which was held in Fargos, the local classy restaurant, but it seems Denise had the same idea for her daughter Libby.

Over at Fargos in Thursday’s episode – after efforts to out do each other much to their kids embarassment – Denise and Zainab called it quits and shared a deep conversation about their new Oxford University student children Tamwar and Libby. As the pair agreed to return to their families, Zainab fell slightly and lost her footing. When Denise asked her if she was okay, Zainab shrugged it off as exhaustion and worry over Tamwar’s results. In Friday’s episode, Zainab flapped around the square trying to convince Ian to take over the buffet arranged for later in the day, but after Ian told her no, she headed to Christian’s who unbeknown to her is shacked up in his flat with her son Syed.

As he hid in the bedroom, Christian agreed to take over the buffet and to meet Zainab at the unit and it was later on in the kitchen that Zainab experienced another dizzy spell. Again, she blamed tiredness. Meanwhile, Masood is arranging a secret round the world trip that they will unfortunately never get to go as soap sources have just announced that Zainab is pregnant!
Zainab will break the shocking news to husband Masood and the couple are then faced with a difficult decision. Will they decide to keep the child? Tune in next episode for all the best UK soap action!

Old faces return, revelations come to a head, and punches are thrown in UK BBC soap opera Eastenders in the next few weeks.

Tears will certainly prick the eyes of many this week when this UK soap airs, as loveable Grandad, Father and husband Jim returns, much to Dot’s shock. Whilst Liz and Dot are chatting in the lounge, the nursing home call and tell Liz that the nursing home are hoping to send Jim home – as little Dotty looks excited at the idea of her Grandad returning home, Dot stays pessimistic and says the return may not happen, as they have called before. Later that evening, Dot returns home as Liz tells her she has a visitor in the lounge – it’s Jim. The pair smile at each other sweetly, and alone, they share some heart felt tear jerking scenes together.

Meanwhile, next week, viewers will see Dawn and Garry preparing for their wedding, and Monday will be time for stag and hen nights, but in true Eastenders style, the parties won’t be full of smiles and celebration. As Dawn, Shirley and Heather indulge in a bottle of wine and a girly chat, Shirley asks Dawn if she has any regrets and anything to admit before she walks down the aisle. At first reluctant, Dawn admits to the girls that she slept with Phil and cheated on Garry and Shirley is left fuming.

Over at The Vic, Garry and Minty start play fighting in novelty sumo wrestling suits but it soon turns sour when Minty grabs Garry in a headlock. When Garry screams at him and asks him to be happy for him and Dawn, Minty storms off.

It seems the big ‘affair’ secret is getting too much for fiancé Dawn and best friend Minty – will it all come out in a soapy wash?

Casualty is a popular medical drama that has been airing on BBC 1 since 1986 and has recently been acclaimed as the longest running medical drama series in the world and also came second as the longest running medical soap next to American soap phenomenon General Hospital.

Casualty is a drama that revolves around the lives and stories of the patients, doctors and nurses who work and visit the emergency room of the fictional Holby City Hospital in the fictional city of Holby.

Although fictional, Casualty has always been filmed in the UK city of Bristol, and viewers will often see visible Bristol landmarks in the background of certain shots. It was announced in 2008, however, that a new set was being built in Cardiff, Wales.

As well as boasting a history of long standing and beloved characters, in 1999, a ‘spin off’ show named ‘Holby City’ was launched onto BBC 1.
A show surrounding the other sections of the hospital, new spin off show Holby City (often referred to as just Holby) covers stories on different wards, leaving Casualty to air the stories of the A & E department.

Most of the time, characters of each show are kept separate, but occasionally characters do appear in different shows, and characters are, naturally, mentioned when referring to certain parts of the hospital.

Casualty has been nominated for many awards in its long existence and has won three BAFTA awards, two Royal Television Society awards and was voted the best loved TV drama by TV Quick Magazine and readers.

Casualty will be back on screens from 12th September, 2009 when it returns from a 6 week hiatus.

Holby City is a popular UK hospital drama that has been running on BBC 1 for over ten years.

A dramatic medical fuelled soap opera, Holby City is a spin off show from the critically acclaimed emergency room drama Casualty and is set in the same fictional hospital – Holby City Hospital.

It was said in 1998 that viewers and fans were anxious to see the goings on and drama of other wards (beside the A&E ward in Casualty) in Holby City Hospital, and that was when creators Mal Young and Tony McHale put their creative heads together and created Holby City, a now BAFTA winning television success.

Holby City follows the lives of the staff at Holby City hospital and the patients that find themselves in need of their help. Although the doctors, nurses and surgeons alike are all played by regular actors, the patients are played by guest actors – some of which are already household names, such as radio and television personality Eric Sykes, comedian Phill Jupitus and Blue pop star, Lee Ryan.

Holby is set in the fictional county of Wyvern, which if real, would actually replace Bristol – which is where sister show Casualty was filmed up until recently – on the UK map. Although strong references to next door neighbour, Wales, are mentioned in the show, Holby City is actually filmed in Hertfordshire, in Elstree Studios – the same studio in which UK soap opera Eastenders is filmed.

Although the shows are closely linked, Casualty and Holby City rarely interlink their characters, although, on occasion this has been shown.

Mal Young, creator of Holby City explained that he wanted to show fans of Casualty where the patients end up after being examined in A&E and he has certainly achieved it with the award winning Holby City.

Eastenders fans will be in for a great deal of surprise in the next few weeks. As we approach the middle of summer, Albert Square will most certainly be hotting up as Ronnie and Joel plummet further into drama.

It was almost inevitable that when sneaky Janine invited Ronnie’s ex boyfriend Joel to an imaginary business meeting that drama would strike the second Ronnie and Joel set eyes on each other. In the past week Joel and Ronnie have been catching up and somewhat rekindling their lost love, but when Archie told Joel he knew about his wife and children, he blackmailed Joel into taking a batch of money to leave and Joel fled. Although Ronnie continued to see and sleep with Joel after finding out about his marriage and fatherhood, she will soon start to regret her ignorance.

In the next few episodes of the infamous UK soap, fans will see a very confused Ronnie visiting Joel’s office to ask his whereabouts when he stands her up at The Vic. Fans will see Joel tell Ronnie about Archie’s pay off, before telling her that he is extremely unhappily married and wants to be with her. He tells Ronnie he is scared to end his marriage and is slightly scared of his overwhelming feelings for her.

Whilst the pair are engaged in a deep conversation in his office, Joel’s wife walks in and Ronnie leaves, reassured that his wife Stephanie has no idea who she is – nothing but a business associate.

Later on in the week, after Ronnie lets loose at father Archie for paying Joel off, she wanders into the pub to find she has guests waiting for her – Stephanie and her children.
Stephanie warns Ronnie to stay away and Ronnie is left torn between whether to do the right thing, or follow her feelings for her first love.

Will Joel leave is wife is the question on everybody’s lips and that question will be answered this summer in Eastenders!

Lexi made her very first entrance through the window of Home Farm in nothing but a bra and pair of knickers shocking her sister Carrie and the King family, and she soon settled in and grabbed a job as a bar maid at the Woolpack, although it didn’t take smarty Lexi long to get a better job at Pollard and Pollard as a supervisor.

After appearing in many stage shows, 25 year old Sally Oliver who plays Lexi finally won her first television role in Emmerdale and claims she was amazed. “I can’t really put words and feelings to it. I’d been doing a disgusting temp job” she said “You don’t dare believe you could get it [the part]. When you do it feels unreal”.

Tony catches con artist beaus Darren and Cindy in the act, and after being thrown out, Rhys sets up camp, and it all came to a head in Wednesday’s Hollyoak’s episode.

The episode kicked off with an angry Cindy making numerous mistakes at Il Gnosh, with an amused Dom looking on, lapping up her mistakes. Clearly hating his brother’s new gold-digging girlfriend, Dom teases Cindy behind the counter as Tony criticises her waitressing skills and coffee making. Cindy eventually throws down her apron and storms out with tears welling in her eyes, and a suddenly worried Tony looks on as she runs out of the restaurant. Later on, viewers saw Cindy return to the flat, to only open the door to Darren minutes later. Immediately, the pair began kissing… just as Tony was making his way to her flat too, armed with a bouquet of flowers to say sorry. Not thinking, Cindy opened the door with many buttons undone on her blouse as well as a bedraggled Darren inside the flat – as Tony sprints away, hurt, Cindy runs after him.

Over in the Uni dormitory halls, Hayley tells Rhys and Josh to leave her flat as the pair admit to drinking her wine and eating the pizza she had bought for a girl’s night in. Josh – hungover – then throws up in the sink, and the blonde beauty throws her boyfriend and his brother (who she actually clearly likes more than her boyfriend) out of the flat. Later on, Rhys pulls a somewhat romantic gesture out of the bag, and pitches a tent in the pub car park, fills it with fairy lights and a romantic meal and invites Hayley over. Their tent is later crushed by Josh and Gilly as they bundle onto it, laughing hysterically.

Will Tony take Cindy back, and will the con be back on, and will Hayley eventually admit her feelings for ex band mate Josh? All questions will be answered this summer, in the hottest UK Soap Hollyoaks!
