Shoot me now.... Please.

Ok, well not official.

But it's blatantly obvious.

A few weeks back I slammed Dev Alahan as the most pointless character in soap.

Now after me slating him for never having a storyline the scriptwriters have engineered the return of his ex-wife Sunita.

Hopefully we will now see them sail off into the sunset never to be seen again.

Sexy actress Rachel McAdams is a self-confessed couch potato.

The Sherlock Holmes star was asked by Vogue to name her perfect day, and revealed it was spent curled up on the sofa watching television.

"[It was] 1995, on a sofa - I grew up watching so much television, I was really into soap operas," she recalled.

"I'd begin with Days Of Our Lives, then Another World and finish off with General Hospital, and before dinner I'd watch Oprah."

The 31-year-old actress also reveals that she used to pretend to be sick just to take the day off school and watch more TV.

"I would fake sick all the time to the point where I'd convince myself I was sick," she said.

I am sure that Jimmi Harkishin who plays Dev Alahan is a very nice chap.

The ageing lothario he plays on screen however is not.

Boyzone star Keith Duffy may return to Coronation Street as show chiefs today confirmed he is in talks for a comeback.

The singer, 34, played barman Ciaran McCarthy in the ITV1 soap for two years, but left in 2005.

When I was growing up Emmerdale farm was all about farming, countryside, sheep-shearing and not much else.

It was based around the Sugdens and matriach Annie Sugden ruled with an iron-fist.

It was harmless telly, very twee, very mundane but still quite popular.

Heather Locklear is apparently in talks about reprising her role in Melrose Place.

The 47-year-old actress - who played catty Amanda Woodward on the hit show from 1993 to 1999 - has watched the pilot for the new version of the TV series and "loved it", reports usmagazine.com
