EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street will once again compete this week with big scenes airing on ITV and BBC One.
Residents in all three locations face drama and turmoil, as secrets and lies threaten the peace.
As one soap deals with the fallout to a serial killer finally being caught, over in the Dales another serial killer takes to the stand.
Over in Corrie, Adam Barlow is still trying to prove his innocence as Lydia Chambers continues to lie that they had an affair, in a bid to ruin his marriage and his life.
It's safe to say the drama isn't dying down in soap land any time soon, with huge scenes ahead...

This week viewers will see residents coming to terms with last week's events, and the arrest of serial killer Gray Atkins.
Gray was finally captured after a horrifying showdown with Whitney Dean, with Mitch Baker coming to her rescue.
In tense scenes Gray tried to kill wife Chelsea Fox and former pal Shirley Carter, while he also turned on former mother-in-law Karen Taylor.
Residents finally learned he was behind the deaths of Chantelle Atkins, Tina Carter and Kush Kazemi - and this week residents will struggle to process the truth.

As residents unite, others fall apart and lash out at each other during a testing time in Walford.
Fans will learn of Shirley's fate, as Chelsea also tries to get through recent events.

There's also a big return on the way for Maisie Smith's character Tiffany Butcher, who left the show after 13 years in December.
Tiffany returns to try and reach out to ex-husband Keegan Baker, following the news about Gray killing his sister Chantelle.
It's only a brief comeback, but will she manage to get through to Keegan? There's speculation this could be his own exit storyline from the soap.

Emmerdale killer Meena Jutla takes to the stand in court this week, as she is asked to offer her plea to the charges against her.
As she continues to target her sister Manpreet Sharma, events reach breaking point leading to Manpreet going missing.
Meena has previously tried to frame her sister for Andrea Tate's death, and it seems she could continue to do this as she plays more games.
She shocks everyone when she pleads guilty to the first of her charges, but will she confess to all of her crimes?
It all gets too much for Manpreet amid her having to testify, as she suffers a panic attack and drives off - with her car and phone later found abandoned.

There's two big plots ongoing this week, as Imran Habeeb finds out he's the father of Abi Franklin's baby.
Abi unexpectedly gave birth last week unaware she was pregnant, before realising the dad was her fling Imran.
Imran is told by Abi that he is the father when he heads to the hospital to confront her, and he can't hold back his emotions.

His girlfriend Toyah soon walks in, so will he be forced to reveal all?
Elsewhere, Adam Barlow starts boozing as his life continues to fall apart around him following ex Lydia Chambers setting him up.
She told his wife Sarah Platt they'd been having an affair, after using his credit card at a hotel, and hiding receipts and a secret phone in his flat.

All the evidence alluded to Lydia being truthful, and despite Adam begging Sarah to believe that he was innocent she kicked him out, and has since refused to forgive him.
This week he hits the bottle as he struggles with everything, especially after being told he could lose his career.
By the end of the week, Adam is still unable to get through to Sarah and tells Lydia he's going to fine proof that she's lying.
