We’ll start today’s look at soapy news with former EastEnders star Barbara Windsor, who reckons that if she ever went back to the soap – which she hasn’t ruled out – she’d expect the younger members of the cast to behave better than they apparently do now!

But in upcoming storylines, it’s all going to get too much for Peter, and he once again seeks answers at the bottom of vodka bottles – or wine, or beer, or toilet duck – only to find there are none there.

However, he’ll come up with a madcap plan to smuggle Simon out of the country and make a new life abroad, but he’s set to be scuppered at the last minute… Continue reading »
