You know what time it is. Yes, thats’s right it’s that time of the week when Metro.co.uk takes you on a guided tour of what’s to come in your favourite soaps.

Next week proves challenging for many of our most iconic mainstays, with a big wedding twist on the cards and the discovery of a dead body.

Intrigued yet? We thought so. The dead body development is from Coronation Street, which sees Stephen Reid left in shock when one of his victims is unearthed.

Time is most certainly running out for the killer.

Over in EastEnders, it’s Kat Slater and Phil Mitchell’s big day, but there’s internal and external conflict aplenty, with Alfie Moon determined to stop proceedings as he makes a big revelation.

Emmerdale, meanwhile, sees Jacob Gallagher left fighting for his life, while Hollyoaks newcomer Carter Shepherd is keeping a big secret to himself, but super sleuth Goldie McQueen is on to him, with shocking results.

If you’re keen to find out all there is to know about what’s coming up then we’re only too happy to oblige, so let the reading commence.

As the day of Kat and Phil’s wedding arrives, Alfie confronts the groom-to-be over his deceit, punching him, with the two men battling it out. Phil comes to realise that something else is bothering Alfie, who admits that he lied – he does, in fact, have prostate cancer and he’s having a prostatectomy. Kat, meanwhile, is left panicked when Alfie fails to show up to the venue. Will the wedding go as planned?
