EastEnders Chantelle death, Corrie child death tragedy & 8 more soap spoilers

The beginning of a new week brings with it plenty of drama in the lands of EastEnders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks, and this week is a particularly big one for all four serial dramas.

Chantelle Atkins’ (Jessica Plummer) abuse at the hands of violent, controlling husband Gray (Toby-Alexander Smith) reaches a tragic end in EastEnders, as she’s killed by the abuser in an incredibly important story.

Meanwhile, Coronation Street and Emmerdale return to six exciting instalments a week, and big events ensue in both, as Leanne Tilsley (Jane Danson) learns that Oliver is only being kept alive by life support in Corrie, while Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) discovers that Kirin Kotecha (Rish Shah) has returned to cause trouble in Emmerdale.

Passion ensues between Juliet Nightingale (Niamh Blackshaw) and Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell) in Hollyoaks, but with sinister Victor (Benjamin O’Mahony) having arrived, it’s safe to say Juliet’s life will become much more difficult.
