After a huge October in the soap world, our favourite shows will be keeping the momentum going this month with some big revelations and twists scheduled in for November.
Here's a guide to 11 of the biggest moments you can expect to see this month.
1. Robert's luck finally runs out (Coronation Street)
Weatherfield love rat Robert Preston has been pushing his luck for months now, flip-flopping between Michelle Connor and Vicky Jefferies – and hoping neither of them will notice. Fortunately, fans know that won't be the case forever – this is Soapland, after all.
A few weeks ago, word leaked out that Robert's life will hang in the balance in an upcoming storyline, as he crashes his car into a lorry. This is thought to be the beginning of the end for Robert's deception, starting off with the nail-biting moment when Michelle and Vicky both arrive at the hospital to see him.
Paparazzi photographers also caught the Corrie cast filming big scenes of Michelle spying on Robert and his secret life. Expect her to switch from "oblivious" to "furious" pretty soon.
2. Aaron heads down a darker path (Emmerdale)
In the wake of Robron's upsetting ending, we can expect to see Aaron return to his bad boy ways. Emmerdale has now aired Ryan Hawley's final scenes in the role of Robert, who's facing a 14-year stretch behind bars and cutting all contact with his beloved husband.
What to Read Next
Show bosses have already confirmed a potential switch in direction for Aaron. He will soon be featuring in storylines with his uncle Cain, who's also on a downward spiral after his own heartbreak. Surely it's only a matter of time before they bring trouble to the Dingles' doors?
Danny Miller, who plays Aaron, recently said: "I know I'll be working with Jeff Hordley again. Cain and Aaron have always worked really well together. They're similar characters and have a hidden love for each other, even though they don't always show it! To be working with Jeff again will just be incredible.
"I'm looking forward to seeing Aaron have a bit of a rebellion and seeing his life unfold a little bit, now that he's lost his one true love."
3. Mel's dramatic exit (EastEnders)
Mel has been central to some huge duff-duff moments this year, especially since heading down a darker path following the shocking death of her teenage son Hunter.
Mel is still holding all the cards as she continues to blackmail Sharon over her affair with Keanu and the true paternity of her unborn baby, but much like Corrie's Robert, she may be starting to push her luck too far.
As Mel continues to torment Sharon and Keanu, toying with the idea of exposing their secret, events take a huge twist when she's involved in a dramatic car crash. With Tamzin Outhwaite about to leave the soap, could Mel be taking Sharon's secret to the grave?
4. Who shot Mercedes? (Hollyoaks)
We haven't seen a big soap whodunit storyline for a while, so Hollyoaks will be giving us our regular fix when Mercedes McQueen is shot by a mystery culprit next week. We'll see Mercedes gunned down at The Loft in Tuesday's E4 first-look episode (November 5), sparking a gripping mystery which is expected to last for a month.
Sylver, Liam, Grace, Diane, James, Breda and Joel will be the seven suspects in the running, while Mercedes's cousin Goldie will be playing amateur detective in a bid to crack the case.
5. Sinead's funeral (Coronation Street)
We're still recovering from last week's tear-jerking exit episodes for Sinead, but it seems that we'll be reaching for the tissues once again later this month. As seen in recently-released paparazzi photos, Sinead is getting an on-screen funeral and it's scheduled to air later this month.
Daniel Osbourne's loved ones worry when he initially refuses to come back for the service, preferring to stay away on his trip to Scotland. It's left to Peter Barlow to try bringing his brother back, with emotions running high when Daniel eventually agrees to return and pay his last respects.
6. Charity and Vanessa in trouble? (Emmerdale)
Rumours are rife over trouble to come in Charity Dingle and Vanessa Woodfield's relationship – and it's easy to see why. Viewers recently discovered that Charity played a key role in Mandy's casino scam, having resorted to her old tricks of grabbing the nearest wig to carry out a cash con. Just the way we like Charity!
Vanessa is currently away in Cornwall but is due back next week. Charity's involvement in the casino catastrophe is one of those classic soap timebombs, likely to go off at any moment. Should Vanessa find out, would she be able to forgive Charity for going behind her back?
7. Linda's alcoholism (EastEnders)
After weeks of subtle build-up, Linda Carter's alcoholism storyline will get properly under way this month as we see how much the Queen Vic landlady is starting to rely on booze.
We'll see Linda start to grow increasingly dependent on alcohol to get through the stresses of each day, hoping her secret doesn't get uncovered by her family.
Show bosses have announced that they're working closely with the Drinkaware charity to ensure that Linda's storyline is portrayed accurately and sensitively.
Executive producer Jon Sen recently said: "Linda's descent into alcoholism will be instantly recognisable to many – a journey that begins with a single drink to cope with the everyday ups and downs but quickly escalates to a point which wreaks devastation on their life and the lives of those around them.
"In telling Linda's story we hope that anyone in Linda's situation or those around them notice the signs of alcoholism and seek the help needed."
8. Ste's far-right story comes to a head (Hollyoaks)
Ste is now back in the village after hiding out with Jonny and Stuart following September's bomb blast. Although he's putting on a show of loyalty towards his evil associates to avoid rocking the boat, Ste is secretly hoping to get himself out of his nightmare once and for all.
In the wake of the crane stunt and Mercedes's shooting storyline, fans can expect yet another huge week for Hollyoaks as the focus shifts back to Ste. This will also feature the return of Stuart's son Sid, who's now a show regular.
Ste hopes for possible redemption as he wants to extricate himself from the group once and for all, but will he be successful this month and what does the future hold for him if he does?
9. David's fate is finally revealed (Coronation Street)
David Platt has been struggling away in prison since the summer, having come off worst from Nick Tilsley's cash con and now being wrongly accused of Josh Tucker's stabbing.
There are hints that David's luck could be about to change, as next week's episodes see his loved ones learn that he might be released. However, fans will have to tune in on Thursday (November 7) to see whether this really is the case – and whether he'll be able to head down the aisle with his fiancée Shona Ramsey as planned.
10. Ben and Martin's feud continues (EastEnders)
Ben's ongoing tensions with Martin will also remain a focus in November, with Martin struggling to see a way out of his mess now that Ben has once again secured the upper hand in their big feud. However, with Pam Coker's upcoming return helping to show a softer side to Ben again, fans will have to stay tuned to see what that means for his bad behaviour.
Show bosses have more twists and turns lined up in this storyline, so watch this space for more details.
11. Ned heads down a darker path (Neighbours)
Ned Willis remains one to watch following his stabbing ordeal with stalker Scarlett Brady. Viewers will see that he's haunted by nightmares after the terrifying incident and struggles to get his life back on track, with ex-girlfriend Yashvi Rebecchi keeping her distance.
At this vulnerable time in his life, Ned needs an outlet for his frustrations and is tempted into a potentially dangerous new venture. Is he swapping one big problem for another?
