Coronation Street

You have to feel sorry for Roy Cropper this week, who is regretting the moment he stopped to play good samaritan to Corrie killer Tony Gordon.

Roy's been burdened with Tony's confession that he killed Liam ever since the factory boss spilled the beans on what he thought was his deathbed.

Now, with Tony up and about again, Roy decides against telling the police what he knows and resorts to Plan B which involves getting Tony to hand himself in. Big mistake.

Tony calmly tells Roy that he will kill him if he has to in order to keep him quiet.

When Hayley finds out, she is so scared that she doesn't want to go into work. Who can blame her? So, imagine her horror when Tony calls and threatens her too.

Roy and Hayley decide to go to the police before fleeing Weatherfield. However, Tony is hot on their trail. Will they be his next victims?

Also this week, Eileen suspects something is going on between Julie and Jesse and not everyone is pleased when John is released from prison.

EastEnders

Ronnie's desperation to get pregnant sees her sleep with the guy who comes to check out the plumbing at the Queen Vic this week.

The man in question is none other than Denise's ex-husband Owen, who is hired by Peggy to sort out a burst pipe in the pub's kitchen.

Ronnie is at home when he turns up and the pair hit it off after he gets soaked changing a beer pump and has to borrow one of Phil's shirts. The poor man!

Baby-mad Ronnie invites him to join her for a cup of tea (is that what they call it now?) and the pair talk about their families and she tells him what happened to Dannielle. Gruelling stuff!

When Owen decides to leave, Ronnie asks him to join her in the bedroom. Could Owen be in for a very big surprise in nine months time?

Also this week, Pat finds out about Archie and Peggy and Ian tries to kiss Tanya.

Emmerdale

Fire! Fire! The church is on fire!

Yes, there is high drama in the village this week when Laurel finds herself locked inside a blazing building. Just how many building have burned down in Emmerdale over the years? We've lost count!

Those who have been paying attention over the past few weeks won't be at all surprised to find out that Laurel's love rival Sally is behind the blaze.

Sally has been doing everything she can to win over Ashley and Laurel finally has enough this week and confronts her about her meddling in the church.

An outraged Sally storms off - but not before she has taken the time to put the heater next to the curtains and lock Laurel inside.

Soon a massive fire breaks out and the villagers run to help as soon as they spot it - but is it already too late for Laurel?

Also this week, David and Nathan come to blows and Val and Eric are caught in an embarrassing situation by Terry.
