Next week’s soaps

The BBC’s latest serial drama Skaggford has been a real hit with TV soap fans. This week- has Amir killed Pozza?

After much agonising, Soul decides to name her new baby Prole because it rhymes with Soul, although Mrs Glass say she could just as well have chosen Dummy because it rhymes with Mummy. At this, Soul bursts into tears of rage, shouting that Mrs Glass is disrespecting her at a vulnerable time. She storms off to report Mrs Glass to the head of her latest social work team.

Meanwhile Maz is drinking with Baz in the Dog’s Head.

Baz says everyone thinks Maz is the father of Soul’s baby. Angrily denying that he is Prole’s father, Maz storms off to A&E at Skaggford General, demanding a DNA test and threatening to smash the place up if he doesn’t get one. After a tense stand-off with medical staff, the police are called, Maz is arrested and taken to Skaggford police station.

Unable to find her social work team, Soul marches off to Skaggford police station where she loudly demands the arrest of Mrs Glass just as Maz is dragged in. Tearfully they embrace. Will Maz be charged with disturbing the peace at Skaggford General? Will he and Soul get back together?

Back at the Dog’s Head, Mr Braithwaite asks Jucee if she is interested in taxidermy holidays, but Jucee says the last time she got into a taxi she became pregnant. Mr Braithwaite suggests they could go on a taxidermy holiday together to find out what it’s like while Jucee gets over her many traumas.

Jucee desperately needs a holiday but says she has nowhere to leave baby Babe. Mr Braithwaite says he’ll think of something, but Mrs Glass shouts out from the other side of the pub that she loves taxidermy holidays and can she come with them? Mr Braithwaite decides to ignore her.

Meanwhile, Lizzi and Maxxi have returned from Magaluf after catching the wrong plane and becoming stuck in Sheffield for a week, unable to find a way out. They eventually return to work at the shoe factory only to find Amir has a strike on his hands after sacking Pozza for selling out of date medical supplies on eBay while supposedly reorganising the packing department.

Amir threatens to close the factory if the strike goes ahead, but Jucee goes to the factory after closing time to plead with Amir not to sack Pozza because he might be the father of her baby Babe. Amir says he’ll see what he can do, but he’s still angry with Pozza over the eBay scam.

Later that evening Pozza also goes to see Amir at the factory, demanding his job back. Angry at Amir’s laughing refusal, Pozza pushes him into a desk. Amir retaliates by shoving Pozza into the huge Health and Safety notice board which crashes down on top of him.

Stunned at what he has done, Amir desperately feels for Pozza’s pulse. Has he killed Pozza?

Next week’s soaps

The BBC’s latest serial drama Skaggford has been a hit with TV soap fans. We review the main storylines for next week’s episodes.

While Baz, Maz, Lizzi and Maxxi plan their holiday in Magaluf, Amir realises he still has feelings for Jucee, even after she had Kyle’s name tattooed on her thigh after the birth of their baby Babe.

Jucee tells Amir she had the tattoo done when she was drunk and didn’t know what she was doing, but amid mounting tension, Amir realises he doesn’t believe her. He accuses her of seeing Kyle whenever his back is turned and storms out of the flat.

In floods of tears, Jucee waylays Dr Binj in the medical centre car park. Dr Binj reassures Jucee that her baby Babe will not grow up to be a moron as long as Jucee cuts down the salt in her diet and doesn’t give her so much junk food.

Meanwhile, a repentant Sami-Ann realises that when Daggs said he was going clubbing, he didn’t mean he was clubbing baby seals. She admits she panicked after watching too many nature programmes and offers to take him back. However, Daggs is reluctant because of his secret feelings he’s developed for Maz since the chip shop fight.

Meanwhile the police are investigating the Hi Five kebab house fire. Gossip at the Dog's Head says Pozza and Nozza started it in revenge for Simmo putting dog food in Pozza’s special birthday kebab.

Soul is busy choosing a name for her new baby, but Rik points out that she can’t use Vax because it happens to be a brand of vacuum cleaner.

Soul is angry and hurt by this and her distress boils over as she screams at Mr Braithwaite that she won’t go on holiday with him even though he bought her a posh drink during the pool match at the Dog's Head.
