🧺 Out in The Wash – Episode 7

Funerals, Flash-Forwards & Five Suspects

This week we’ve got arrests, grief spirals, council campaigns nobody asked for, and a Corrie flash-forward that’s turned Weatherfield into a guessing game.

Let’s unpack it.

📍 EastEnders

Anthony’s funeral takes over the Square — and so does Jasmine.

Mo returns with a stack of Zoe’s childhood books, Sam gets her results, and Kat is left begging Jake and Chrissy for help finding Jasmine. Chrissy makes her grovel… but Jasmine walks straight into the funeral procession anyway.

Back in Peckham, tensions simmer — and Jasmine eventually admits to Kat that she killed Anthony before being arrested.

Oscar overhears more than he should. Patrick sinks deeper into grief. And Elaine is released.

Max confesses his feelings for Linda to Lauren — but is this just history repeating? When Stacey comes back, what happens then? And how long can Max and Linda keep circling each other without imploding?

Meanwhile:

• Ian is still running for council (again).
• George and Nicola are expecting a girl.
• Harry and Kojo move back in together… while Harry grows closer to Gina.
• Sam looks set to stay — with some persuading.

Also — 21 years since Paul? I feel ancient.

📍 Emmerdale

Bear faces police questioning — with the counsellor by his side — but struggles under pressure. DS Walsh isn’t buying it, and Paddy starts spiralling as his house is searched.

Moira looks increasingly exposed. Arthur moves quickly with the money. Marlon and Rhona reflect on Ray’s death. Graham continues orbiting Joe — conscience or strategy?

And at the heart of it all: Cain vs Cancer vs Everyone.

📍 Coronation Street

Corrie jumps forward to 23/4 — Swarla’s wedding — and suddenly we’re in full mystery mode.

Theo paying “by the mile”. Will out on bail. Maggie going to the police. A drunk Carl winding up Kevin. Abbie telling Carl he’ll die lonely — foreshadowing? Todd’s money hidden in the world’s most obvious cupboard.

And then there’s Betsy. She’s found a dead body — but who is it?

The five possibilities:

• Carl
• Jodie
• Megan
• Theo
• Maggie

Betsy seems more shaken by who it is than the fact it’s a body. So is it someone close? Or someone we barely know?

Elsewhere: Mal and Bernie. Is there a new Hope forming?

This week’s experiment: Max Branning dropped into Emmerdale Village.

Would he clash with Cain? Flirt with Victoria? Try to outmanoeuvre Kim? Or instantly make an enemy of Joe?

How long would he last in the Dales?

This week on Out in the Wash, Jayne breaks down the latest drama from EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street and asks why one soap feels miles ahead of the others right now.

In EastEnders, the mystery of who killed Anthony continues as Jake returns and Chrissie starts asking the questions others haven’t. Kat’s instincts point towards Jasmine, but will anyone listen? Meanwhile, Max chooses silence over consequences as Louis bullies Ollie, Linda’s judgement wobbles again, and Ravi finds himself trapped between the police and gang life as Nugget’s epilepsy diagnosis changes everything. Is EastEnders playing it too safe?

Over in Emmerdale, Cain’s cancer storyline is handled with realism and honesty as he begins treatment while trying to keep control of the farm and his family. Victoria and Robert’s decision to sell to Joe Tate raises bigger questions about legacy and loyalty, while Bear, April and Dylan’s parallel trauma scenes deliver some of the strongest emotional storytelling of the week. Right now, Emmerdale feels layered, confident and quietly powerful.

In Coronation Street, Todd’s self-destructive spiral intensifies as overexercising, secrecy and financial stress catch up with him. Theo’s manipulation grows more uncomfortable, Gary’s controlling streak resurfaces, and a mysterious will leaves George unexpectedly named. With Carl sacked and revenge simmering, Corrie is juggling multiple threads – but are they building towards something bigger?

This episode explores where each soap is succeeding, where they are struggling, and what might come next.

Out in the Wash – Episode 5

This week, I’m back in the washroom breaking down another packed week across the soaps — where tensions rise, loyalties are tested, and absolutely nobody is making sensible decisions.

I take a look at the moments that had viewers talking, the storylines that are quietly bubbling away, and the characters who are very much on borrowed time (whether they know it or not).

EastEnders

Power struggles, uncomfortable truths, and a few familiar faces pushing their luck. Some storylines are edging closer to boiling point, while others raise more questions than answers.

Coronation Street

Emotions run high as the past refuses to stay buried. There’s grief, guilt, and the sense that several characters are heading for a reckoning — whether they’re ready or not.

Emmerdale

Secrets, suspicion, and shifting dynamics in the village. As events unfold, it’s clear that not everyone is being honest, and the fallout could be far-reaching.

As always, expect opinions, observations, and a good old soap rant or two — because if we don’t talk about it, who will?
