'Enders punch, Corrie newcomer, E'dale farewell

Published Sunday, Feb 6 2011, 00:02 GMT | By Daniel Kilkelly | 9 comments
Ronnie's latest lie has violent repercussions on EastEnders later this month as Jack punches Michael in the face.

Jack's furious behaviour comes after Ronnie puts poison into his ear about Michael, falsely claiming that he tried it on with her.

Michael is left baffled by Jack's behaviour, completely unaware that Ronnie has resorted to desperate measures to prevent him from going into partnership with her husband at a boxing gym.

Later, Michael heads over to visit Ronnie in an attempt to find out what's going on, but she refuses to talk to him.

A Walford source commented: "Jack is furious when Ronnie tells him Michael made a pass at her, and goes at him like a raging bull.

"Ronnie is desperately trying to stop Michael and Jack from working together but with Michael now trying to find out what on earth is going on, will her lies start to unravel?"

In the market, Jane is talking to Michael as Jack appears and punches him.

Meanwhile, Coronation Street fans are about to be introduced to Tina's old friend Xin, who she used to work with at Poundland.

When Tina hears that Xin is now working at her favourite restaurant - The Royal Panda - she books a table for herself and Graeme for Valentine's Day. However, the romantic date later goes awry when Xin gatecrashes the meal - telling Tina how upset she is after struggling to find a better job in the UK since finishing university.

Later in the week, Xin pays a visit to Tina on the cobbles and explains that she's having trouble with her landlord. Concerned, Tina agrees that Xin can stay with her and Graeme until she sorts herself out.

How will Graeme react to living under the same roof as Xin? And could her presence have an unexpected impact on Tina and Graeme's relationship as the storyline continues?

Coming up in Emmerdale, Doug is about to bid a temporary farewell to the village in order to head off on a cruise with Hilary.

The news comes as a real blow to Diane as she's still struggling with her feelings for Doug and feeling regretful about how she got everything so wrong with Charlie.

Prior to Doug's departure, Diane comes clean to him about how she really feels - imploring him to stay as they could be happy together.

However, Doug is determined that he's making the right choice and, after saying goodbye to everyone at The Woolpack, he goes ahead with his plans for an extended holiday.

In real life, meanwhile, Duncan Preston is taking a five-month break from the role of Doug to tread the boards in To Kill A Mockingbird - as DS revealed in July.
