It’s a Bradley Riches takeover! In this latest episode of Soap Scoop, Laura-Jayne is joined by Emmerdale star Bradley Riches (Lewis) for an exclusive deep-dive into The Big Quiz: Corrie vs Emmerdale, his whirlwind first year in the Dales, and what’s coming next for Lewis in 2026. Bradley spills everything from mayhem on the The Big Quiz to how he nearly brought the team down with one (very confident) wrong answer, what Mark Charnock (Marlon) and Shebz Miah (Kammy) are really like as teammates, and Emmerdale’s strategy to keep their winning streak alive. He also teases the exclusive Corriedale preview, describing it as “epic… like a thriller.” Then we get into Emmerdale… How Lewis has changed his life, the fan reaction from autistic and neurodivergent viewers, his dream storylines (yes — Emma Barton flashbacks, Lewis discovering Kev is his dad, and a FULL CAFÉ MAKEOVER). Also, what kind of father-son dynamic he wants with Kev, why Lewis and Vinnie might be the next romance fans fall in love with, why Robert Sugden and Joe Tate might be on Lewis’ “enemy list” Plus: Lewis in overalls?! His new farming era begins, working with real animals (and a flying sheep), behind-the-scenes on his gorgeous Inside Soap Christmas photoshoot with Mike Parr and his favourite memories from Heartstopper This is one of Bradley’s funniest and most heartfelt interviews yet — a must-watch for Emmerdale fans.
