We were saddened and shocked to learn of the tragic death of a true TV icon in Luke Perry earlier this month. We pay special tribute to the late Beverly Hills, 90210 star from page 24. The shocking baby scandal continues to unfold onscreen on The Bold and the Beautiful – with Steffy looking to escape all the drama by taking the kids and leaving the country. We’re on the set with Melody Thomas Scott to celebrate her remarkable four decades on The Young and the Restless! We salute her – we sure couldn’t imagine the show without Nikki’s shenanigans! Elsewhere, check out all the latest and what’s coming up on our favourite Aussie soaps, plus all the shows you must see on streaming platforms. We also catch up with Joel…

Don’t stand so close to me Well done to BEN AFFLECK for looking after his health lately, but his close talking has CHARLIE HUNNAM thinking he could use a mint! Welcome Matt – he’s back in school Now this is a question that MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY can answer when he drops in to a Texas high school. Q: “How many people saw Sahara ?” A: “One!” It sure floats their boat Reigning on their own parade are the stars of Neighbours , who celebrated Mardi Gras in Sydney with their own Ramsay Street float.

SO LONG , STEFFY!

While the addition of adopted bouncing baby girl Phoebe (really Hope and Liam’s daughter Beth) into her family fold has been a joy, single mum Steffy hasn’t found it all plain sailing. She may be reasonably content with her lot in life but Hope’s bizarre insistence her marriage to Liam must end so he can reunite with her and be a hands-on dad to the girls creates turmoil... Although Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) maintains she doesn’t want Liam, there remains a fantasy notion of reconciling with him if she makes the move! Caught between Hope’s (Annika Noelle) fragility and Liam’s (Scott Clifton) frustration in wanting to stick at his marriage, Steffy confides her domestic upheaval in a supportive Taylor (Hunter Tylo). It’s obvious that Taylor believes Steffy and Liam should never…

SO LONG , STEFFY!

* Well, there’s sure been a whole lot of troubled water that’s flown under the broken bridge of Katie and Bill’s relationship in recent years – and when she sued her ex-husband last year for full custody of their son Will, reconciliation was not on the cards! Since that battle ultimately ended with him being granted generous access visits with his son, Katie has witnessed a new, gentler and much more emotionally available side to Bill… More recently, Katie’s (Heather Tom) annulment from Thorne (Ingo Rademacher), and Will’s (Finnegan George) frisson of excitement over his parents being together more often has softened her stance towards him. Adding to that is the upbeat, romantic outlook of Katie’s sister Donna (Jennifer Gareis), who remarks often and loudly to Katie that it’s her firm…

Lately, the perennially hapless Gary Canning couldn’t be happier, having finally won back Amy’s affections! He’s also convincing her to quit working for her morally ambiguous father Paul and return to her professional roots as Erinsborough’s handywoman. He’s so thrilled with his change in fortunes that he’s now furtively plotting a very special surprise for the woman he truly adores. Thankfully, Amy (Zoe Cramond) is oblivious to Gary’s (Damian Richardson) plans, but Paul (Stefan Dennis) is on red alert, furious at Gary for manipulating Amy against him and out of his employ. Unnerved by Gary’s covert behaviour, Paul stalks his every move, confident he’ll expose more of his dodgy schemes – and when he spies an engagement ring on Gary’s person, a horrified Paul takes immediate action to derail the romantic…

Three's a crowd!

Stirring from his months-long coma, Finn Kelly’s slow recovery from the injuries he sustained when Susan pushed him off the cliff is having a massive, and hugely unsettling, impact on the lives of his various victims! Most notably, Susan has been seriously swayed into believing the claims that Finn’s struggling from amnesia and can’t recall his crimes. Feeling responsible for Finn’s condition, Susan empathises with him, experiencing a maternal pull that makes her want to comfort and nurse him back to health! What? Nevertheless, Susan (Jackie Woodburne) is haunted when Finn (Rob Mills) tells her he forgives her for injuring him! Starting to see Finn as a victim, with the knowledge of his supposedly traumatic childhood and early adulthood, Susan grapples with whether it’s fair to hold a grudge against him…

STREWTH! ALF’S IN LOVE!

Never one to rush into anything boots and all when he could take his own sweet time and procrastinate over the right way to approach a situation, Alf is treading carefully in renewing his friendship and slowly simmering love for Martha! The fact that his first wife faked her death in 1985 to disguise her mental health problems – and allowed the deception to perpetuate for more than 30 years while he lied to their daughter Roo, still stings him sharply. As it would! Having had several months to mull over the impact of Martha’s (Belinda Giblin) return from the dead, after initially shutting her out when she first turned up last year, Alf (Ray Meagher) has found peace with the circumstances... and now realised that he still cares about her…

Unfortunatey, despite going on the odd date, an undercurrent of awkwardness has kept the pair from opening up fully about their mutual attraction. Even when she’d finally managed o pluck up enough courage to make a serious move on Pav, revelations about her daughter Sabine’s sex life intruded on the moment, forcing Claudia to put her personal life on hold to focus on matters at hand...

WHO’S THE DADDY?

Single mum Bindy has contentedly sailed through the rigours of motherhood since the day her daughter London was born. That’s mainly because her parents did most of the child-rearing while she carried on burden-free! Now Bindy’s on something of a crash course in motherhood after her parents demanded she finally take on more responsibility and start raising her little girl! This ultimatum, combined with her blossoming romance with Sam, has forced Bindy to take stock of her life and face up to her past... and future. Recognising that Sam (Harry Greenwood) could well be the perfect guy for her, Bindy (Shalom Brune-Franklin) resolves to be totally honest with him regarding her sordid past and confesses she doesn’t know the identity of London’s (Mina Annan) biological father; he could be one of…

BEDLAM in Bedford

Up to her neck in the corridors of political power in Canberra, Harriet’s mission to prove that her friend and ex-cellmate Mina didn’t bump off Catriona Bailey, the corrupt Minister for Home Affairs, is becoming deadlier and more dangerous by the minute! After a horrifying house explosion via drone strike in the SA suburb of Davoren Park that killed an innocent civilian family, Prime Minister Ewan Garrity (Don Hany) has privately backed up Harriet and her boss, Independent MP Karen Koutoufides, (Danielle Cormack) in their suspicions it may have been linked to Catriona’s assassination! Before her death, the wicked minister was involved in a classified military program called Pale Horse, which executed illegal kill missions in Pakistan, operated by Australian soldiers under US orders... “Harriet sneaks into the boffin’s bush shack,…

WHAT DRIVES HARRIET?

“We don’t hear about a lot of what happens, behind those doors [in politics). Harriet is grounded in reality, she isn’t used to what is thrown on her [so] it’s really scary for her and out of the norm. She is a reference point for the audience. That’s what investigative journalists are, they are absolutely true-seekers and it’s not just about getting a story; they’re truth-seekers in every aspect of their life. If they hear something that just doesn’t make sense to them they can’t help but question that and then dig a little deeper. I think that is the spirit of true investigative journalism, and of Harriet.”…

GIFT FOR TAKING RISKS

Australian soaps have long acted as a petri dish for acting talent who’d go on to conquer Hollywood. But for Joel Edgerton the story is very different, and begins with the Sydneysider being rejected by both Neighbours and Home and Away. “It wasn’t a big shock to me: I knew I wasn’t a pretty-boy surfer, I had no delusions about myself,” Edgerton, now 44, admits. Even if it’s not like anyone ever said that to my face, that would have been a knife to the chest. But I gleaned the information, that’s what I took from it. I had an attitude of working with what I had.” His Neighbours knockback wasn’t the only negative he had to deal with in his attempts to break into acting. “I was also told pretty early on…

GIFT FOR TAKING RISKS

Hearts break for Luke

* Hailed as a modern-day James Dean, Luke Perry was one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors, by fans and his Tinseltown peers alike, evident in the outpouring of online tributes following his shock death a fe weeks ago after a massive stroke at just 52. Hunky star of the ’90s teen TV series Beverly Hills, 90210, and more recently cult streaming hit Riverdale, Luke died in a Los Angeles hospital on March 4, surrounded by his two children Jake and Sophie, family and friends. With a prolific acting career on TV and in movies, Luke will be best remembered as the brooding Dylan McKay on Aaron Spelling’s BH, 902010. Ardent daytime soap fans, however, may recall his first TV roles on the now defunct New York-based Loving, in which he played…

But, my heart goes out to his family and friends who were blessed by his light in their (and mine) lives. Processing this is impossible right now.” Alyssa Milano “I don’t understand how he’s gone. His soul always shined so bright. His smile. His talent. His kindness. He was always the coolest person in the room. Rest with the angels, sweet Luke. I will never forget you.” Josh Whedon “The first time I met Luke Perry we talked about what kind of movie we wanted Buffy to be. I asked if he’d ever seen Near Dark and he gave me a look of ‘How dare you, sir’ and I…

When Hope mentions that Zoe (Kiara Barnes) told her who Flo was, he’s taken aback, wondering how she knows the baby’s birth mother... Adding that a tangible tension crackled between the two women further intrigues Liam; why was Zoe’s anxious? “Flo…

DOUBLE TROUBLE!

Consumed by the burden of knowledge of Reese and Flo’s perpetration of the Spencer baby switch which has led the Forresters, Spencers, Logans and everyone around them to believe that Hope and Liam’s daughter Beth is Steffy’s adopted infant Phoebe, Zoe scrambles to find ways to prevent an increasingly unsettled Flo from spilling the beans! Despite an oblivious Xander’s belief that there’s nothing Zoe can do to ease her misgivings about Flo giving “her” baby to Steffy, Zoe has shamefully furthered the deception in a bid to spare her dad deep trouble. Unaware that Liam (Scott Clifton) is now quietly suspicious of her connection to Flo (Katrina Bowden) – after Hope (Annika Noelle) told him how tense Zoe (Kiara Barnes) seemed when she interrupted her earlier conversation with Flo – she…
