12 soap spoiler pictures: Coronation Street death aftermath, Emmerdale Gabby goes into labour, EastEnders return, Hollyoaks showdown

With several high-profile returns, showdowns aplenty and more aftermath than you could possibly imagine, the soaps remain unmissable next week.

Coronation Street will see several of the serial drama’s favourites reeling in the wake of tragic events, while Emmerdale’s finest are rocked following the survival challenges, and – in the wake of a death – an arrest is made!

Stacey Slater makes her long-awaited return to EastEnders, and it appears as if she’s got some news for Martin Fowler.

Hollyoaks’ Sienna Blake, meanwhile, receives shock news herself, and thus she visits Summer Ranger in prison. The visit doesn’t really have the desired effect, however, as Sienna struggles to shake her nemesis’ words.

It’s all kicking off in soapland, and here’s just a taster of what’s in store next week.
