Soap Watch






In Corrie, Bev Callard who plays Liz McDonald is leaving the soap after playing the character since 1989! The pub landlord will bow out of the soap next year. In other news apparently a relative of Roy Cropper will join the show next year. The character will obviously cause trouble for Roy and Hayley. Finally, has Tracy Barlow's return plot been revealed? Apparently, she will be cleared off killing Charlie Stubbs during a retrial and returns to the street to cause chaos to Gail Platt, the McDonalds and her parents. 








Over in the square, the show will air in HD for the first time on Christmas Day it's been revealed. The show recently destroyed it's pub for the switch to HD.










In the Dales, not much going on other than the verdict in Ryan's trial for killing Mark, which he was framed for by Mark's wife who actually did it and his twisted son was a surprising guilty! I'm sure they'll be plenty more twists and turns in the story!










That basically. Also last Saturday Hollyoaks turned 15. So happy birthday! There'll be on-screen celebration but next year there will be for their 'Sweet 16th'










All quite in Australia I'm afraid.
