EILEEN'S Groundhog Day-style storyline finally comes to a head after months of her suspecting Pat may or may not be a killer (Coronation Street, ITV). Despite everyone else yelling their views on the rogue builder, and assorted locals going missing or getting locked up, she's still stood by her man. But she's about to realise how wrong she was in a showdown during a seaside break.
Back in Weatherfield, Seb and Gary start to crack open the Mill concrete with sledgehammers in the hope of finding damning evidence against Phelan.
Meanwhile, Liz flirts with Mike (one of Steve's old teachers), Simon continues on his path of destruction while his oblivious parents think he's a reformed character, and Eva and Toyah's baby deception takes another twist.
Gail thinks her family is cursed by Richard Hillman; Carla questions Alya's skills as Aidan's second-in-command, and it's obvious that Fiz is not going to forget Tyrone's fling in a hurry during a row in the Rovers.
Last week, the good folk of Walford (EastEnders, BBC1) rallied round the Slaters when they believed Kat was dead - Jay even managed to get them a free coffin. It's a very different story this week though as the family deals with some unwanted attention, and Mo manages to land them in even more trouble. But while the neighbours may be hostile, Stacey can't help but be secretly pleased to have her family around her again, especially when Jean also turns up on the Square.
Over at the Taylors', Mitch charms his way back into Karen's good books, Keanu considers moving out, and Bernadette fears she may not be Albert Square's answer to Garry Kasparov after all when she faces a crisis of confidence before a chess tournament.
Jack hopes to impress Mel with his new sportscar and a trip to Paris, but he probably shouldn't expect Hunter to wish them bon voyage. Sharon jumps to conclusions when she catches Phil with a young woman at their home (although given his track record, who can blame her?), and Ted starts to realise just how much he takes Joyce for granted.
In Emmerdale (ITV), Jacob looks set to become Yorkshire's youngest marriage counsellor as he talks to Tracy about her recent separation and she admits that David's exes are part of the problem.
The teen decides the best way to fix his stepdad's relationship is to kick Priya out, but when Tracy later confronts David about 'copping off with an ex', will she discover that he has another old flame she should be more worried about?
A night out fails to take Ross's mind off the acid attack, especially when it turns out that the only girl interested in chatting him up is doing it for a joke. But it's no laughing matter when Pete later finds pills and an empty bottle of whisky. Is he about to lose yet another family member?
Graham urges Debbie to give Joe another chance, although it seems even he is sick of his boss's underhand ways and, speaking of dastardly villains, Voldemort the snake gets loose in the vet's surgery, just as the inspector arrives to question Vanessa and Paddy about their drugs book.
There are two departures and an arrival in Erinsborough this week - as well as a guest appearance by a pop star you've probably never heard of (Neighbours, C5).
Ross Wilson is a veteran of Australia's music scene, and Sheila is a huge fan - but a chance to get on stage and perform with him proves to be a little too much excitement for her to cope with.
In real life, Wilson is the stepfather of Olympia Valance, aka Paige, who is about to depart for pastures new with Jack. No sooner do they decide to move to Queensland than they're packed and ready to say their farewells.
Clearly the soap's bosses felt they needed a new twentysomething female to take Paige's place, because up pops the Brennan brothers' sister Chloe.
Meanwhile, Karl's chance of landing a new job with Clive are ruined by Holly, a prank backfires on Toadie and the truth about the fire in which Rafael's mother was killed is revealed.
