We spoke to plenty of cast members recently, and so much was teased. Plenty of the stars had a lot to say about Robert Sugden’s return, and whether a Robron reunion would happen.
Some fans teased a “long” and rocky road ahead for Robert and ex Aaron Dingle, while there were also hints about a downfall for John Sugden. As one cast member told us characters were still in the dark about his killer ways, another star told The Mirror that him always being in the right place at the right time could soon spark suspicion.
Elsewhere, and the cast gave their verdict on some new arrivals including some possible villains. While the details were very coy, there were hints of dark twists ahead as one newcomer joins the show – while there was also hints of trouble for Moira Dingle due to the second newcomer.
There’s a familiar face coming back, with a relationship to be explored for two characters. We can also confirm two characters currently at war on the soap are about to team up.
As the pair join forces determined to get to the bottom of a recent murder, will an exit be sealed? One other character hiding a killer secret will be left relieved to see she won’t be exposed, as one star told us a possible vendetta against the secret killer is dropped.
There’s also some powerful and emotional scenes ahead as residents say a final goodbye to a loved one. Stars promised big scenes here, and some performances to watch out for.
Finally, one character’s secret diagnosis will soon come to light resulting in emotional scenes for their loved ones. With that, we could see two exes get closer again amid hopes of a reunion from fans. A final spoiler saw one star reveal all on an unexpected couple growing stronger on the show, while another star shared there will be concern for one resident as a mystery storyline develops.

Over to Corrie, and there’s plenty of whispers surrounding the show’s 65th anniversary and its big crossover with Emmerdale. Nothing has been revealed yet, but cast members said it was safe to assume it would be grand and epic.
One cast member teased a new side to their character going forward as they learn to stand on their own two feet. We could see a bond between two residents deepen, as they prepare to say goodbye to a loved one.
Two stars shared their upset over the looming exit of a co-star, while another actress told us there were big things to come for her character. Teasing a change in dynamics, she also revealed we could see a new romance for the fan favourite.
We also got the lowdown on what’s ahead for some of the younger cast, with “fun and drama” on the cards. Cast members also addressed the possible wedding of Swarla, with more than one cast member backing it in a chat with us, with them all wanting to take a trip to Ibiza too.
Perhaps there will be a new cat heading to Weatherfield too! Viewers will also see plenty more of detectives Lisa Swain and Kit Green too as they continue to clash. We may finally see whether a couple make it against the odds, and whether two sisters can put the past behind them.
Hollyoaks

Over in Hollyoaks village, and the drama continues for more than one character. One character is set to return to the show, and it could lead to an almighty showdown with a long-time enemy.
There’s more than one unexpected twist thought to be on the cards, with unexpected alliances, futures uncertain and reunions hoped for. Two former enemies look set to unite, months on from them fighting over a man – but have they turned a corner?
They’re not the only rivals putting the past to bed, as a rather unexpected truce looks set to be on the cards for two village icons in a move we certainly did not see coming. With that, fans can expect a long-time villain to change their ways – but how long for?
As more than one character deals with recent trauma, there could finally be a reunion for a fan favourite couple – with new and more scenes of them together confirmed to The Mirror. The stars playing the characters teased there would be a happy ending in sight, but could more drama get in the way?
There’s a newcomer on the way too who sparks a romance with another villager, while the actor playing the newbie didn’t go into detail. And as one villager’s future on the show remains in doubt, the actor playing him hinted it might not be over just yet.
Then there’s the 30th anniversary later this year, which the cast have been sworn to secrecy over. But multiple stars teased massive scenes will air, big twists, plenty of drama with one star telling viewers it was a must watch.

Fans have plenty to be excited about as more than one cast member promised big storylines ahead. The returns of more than one character appeared to be confirmed by a star, while the comeback of Max Branning in particular seemed to be revealed.
Other past characters including Cindy Williams and Carol Jackson were also called on to return by their co-stars, while Jacqueline Jossa said she’d heard rumours of more than one comeback. Not only that, but she revealed she knows all about what’s happening on the show in six months time, so the lead-up to Christmas.
She gave nothing away but her face said it all, with her hinting at some massive twists ahead and saying it “excites” her. There were hints of a love triangle forming too, and two strong females possibly going head-to-head.
One actress hinted to us a couple may finally reunite too, amid fans calling for the twist to air. Not only that, but two cast members told The Mirror that things would continue for sinister teen Joel amid him being a bad influence on Tommy.
Both Shane Richie and Sophie Khan Levy hinted things would escalate with the teen, and there could be a revenge twist if the truth comes out. One family will be shown getting stronger, but with that “mistakes” will be made.
Amid a heartbreaking split on the show, two stars hinted it might not be over for good. Cindy Beale is in her independent woman era too, and romance might be off the cards for a while.
There’s also thought to be a big story and “fireworks” coming for newlyweds, third time lucky, Alfie and Kat Moon. We can also reveal there’s an “emotional” storyline coming up for Kim Fox, that actress Tameka Empson hopes fans will resonate with.
