Soap Watch






Details of Jack Duckworth's exit storyline of have been revealed. Vera Duckworth, Jack's on-screen wife who died in the show 2 years ago will make one final appearance as Jack dies. She won't be a ghost, more of a spirit apparently. Wether it's a good idea or not? Depends how it plays out on screen really. Also it was revealed Jack will sing "Wind Beneath My Wings" in his final scene and he'll die in the same armchair as Vera did which is weird if you ask me, but I'm sure it'll be an emotional one. 










It was announced today that a long-standing extra for the series has died. Ina Clare was aged 77, and just a few months ago, her character was thrown a party in Queen Vic by a work colleague. Tributes were payed via twitter by some cast members and the episode shown tonight was dedicated to her and her death will be acknowledged on the show.










It was a dramatic week in Emmerdale last week as the "Who Shot Mark Wylde" storyline finally came to an end. After Cain Dingle kidnapped Nathan Wylde, who many believed was the killer, his sister Maisie turned up convinced he was the killer, not her step brother Ryan who had just been found guilty of the crime. Maisie attacked her brother forcing him to confess, while Cain brought Natasha and Will to the barn. Natasha was forced to confess all in-front of her children after months of lying. Maisie phoned the police and Natasha was finally arrested. This is the beginning of the end for The Wylde's as they'll all be leaving by the end of the year. This week brought in the most viewers the soaps has had in a while so big success there. 










With Hollyoaks: Later finished for another year, The Village is about to change forever this Bonfire Night, as an arsonist targets Il Nosh and a fire rips through the restaurant and neighboring buildings. This storyline paves the way for multiple exits from the soap. It's being kept under wraps who will die, but it was revealed that Steph will risk her live to save Amy Barnes and her children. A must watch for Hollyoaks fans!










Not happy times for Neighbours I'm afraid. On Friday just gone, Neighbours audience was at an all time low. 386,000. That's awful considering it used to get 20m an episode back in the day. I knew that ratings were low, but this is really bad. This is part of the reason why Channel 10 which has showed Neighbours since it started, is moving the show to it's digital channel 11. Here in the UK, Neighbours is viewed by a collective 2m a day as the episode is shown 3 times during the day. It's not looking very good for Ramsay Street. 

Lily Allen suffers 2nd miscarriage

What a sad thing to hear. Lily Allen who was 6 months pregnant has suffered another miscarriage it's been confirmed.



The singer who announced she was pregnant with boyfriend Sam Cooper was rushed into hospital on Thursday because of stomach pains. A statement was released today saying

"It is with great sadness that we have to confirm that Lily Allen and Sam Cooper have lost their baby," a spokesperson said. "The couple ask that their privacy be respected and that they be left alone at this deeply distressing time. No further comment will be made."

This is not the first time Allen was suffered a miscarriage. She lost her 1st unborn baby with Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons back in January 2008. 

Our thoughts and condolences go out to Lily, Sam and their families.
