High-octane scenes await in the soaps this week, as confirmed in our new spoilers, with emotions aplenty as a number of our serial drama favourites’ lives are left hanging in the balance.

EastEnders matriarch Elaine Peacock collapses not once but twice during what proves to be a very stressful week for her while Emmerdale’s Paddy Kirk is rushed to hospital after a devastating attack.
