Soaps preview: 12 – 16 October

This week, Jack sleeps with Sam in EastEnders, Debbie and Charity team up to rip off the villagers in Emmerdale and is Corrie's Rosie about to lose everything?

EastEnders

They definitely seem to be putting something strange in the water in soapland at the moment. Last week we were shocked when Teresa and Lloyd snuggled up together in Corrie and this week Sam and Jack get it on in EastEnders!

Yes, womanising Jack beds the only Mitchell lady in Walford that he hasn't slept with already (well, apart from Peggy) but, unfortunately for Sam, he's only doing it to annoy her big brother Phil.

Relations between the two men sour once again after Jack asks Phil if he can use the Queen Vic for a party after there is a problem at his club R&R. Phil tells Jack that he can use the pub for £500 and Jack is so angry at his demand that he offers Sam a job at the club to spite her family.

When Phil finds out he gives Sam an ultimatum to either quit her new job or move out of the pub. Sam moves in with Ricky but when this doesn't work out she heads round to her new boss's flat. A tipsy Jack is delighted to see her and welcomes the opportunity for further revenge on Phil. There is going to be some serious trouble when Ronnie finds out about this one.

Also this week, Archie finds out that Janine is double-crossing him and Libby is the only one pleased when Owen returns.

Emmerdale

The villagers had better lock up their silverware as mother and daughter team Charity and Debbie put their heads together to work out how to get their hands on some money.

Charity is desperate for some funds for herself and son Noah after husband-to-be Michael cuts off her cash supply and, in a move that would make Robin Hood proud, she and Debbie plot to swindle money from the rich.

Debbie's enemy Maisie Wylde provides the first easy target for the duo in The Woolpack when Debbie and Charity pretend to argue over a worthless ring that Charity is selling.

When Maisie hears Debbie pleading with her mum not to sell the 'expensive' jewellery because it is her inheritance, the spoilt rich kid tells Charity that she wants it.

Will the pair get away with this daylight robbery and who will be their next target?

Also this week, Ashley gets punched thanks to Sally's scheming and not everyone is pleased when Chas starts work at the factory.

Coronation Street

It looks as though Corrie schemer Rosie Webster is heading for a big fall and we don't think too many people will be offering her a shoulder to cry on.

Rosie has taken great pleasure in lording it over the neighbours since her windfall from John Stape by splashing out on a flash new car and designer clobber. But now it looks as though she is about to lose everything.

The temptress has met her match in factory boss Luke who this week tells her that he wants them to give their on-off relationship another go.

But what Rosie doesn't know is that Luke is in a dire financial situation and it's her money, rather than her body, that he wants to get his hands on.

When he tells her that he is selling his shares in Underworld and offers them to her, she practically snaps his hand off as she thinks it will mean that she is the new boss of the factory.

Sadly for her, Luke no longer owns any shares and is planning on fleeing Weatherfield with her cash. Will she find out and stop him before it's too late?

Also this week, Tyrone tells Kevin that he thinks Molly is having an affair and Tony proposes to Maria at Liam's grave!
