A lot of people like me enjoy soap magazines such as Inside soap etc so thought a proper thread about the magazines (i.e. release dates/front covers etc) would help?
I think Inside soap release their front covers today, ill keep a look out

Grant Mitchell returning is a classic cover story tactic :rolleyes:
They seem to get away with it by putting a question mark on the end
Inside soap is usually the most formative and well written.
Inside Soap.
Danke, will have a look
Soaplife has to do something to get people to buy their mag
They used to but for the last few months they've holding them back until Tuesday
Maybe now it's new year they might start doing it on a Monday again
I'd say Inside Soap but then I know the Deputy Editor personally so perhaps I'm biased!
As others have said, although the front covers are misleading (especially Soaplife) everything printed inside is fairly accurate to official info from the Soap press offices and interviews with cast and writers. You can always tell speculation from definitive spoilers as well as they make good use of the question mark. If there is a question mark after the cover headline, it is speculation and to be taken with a pinch of salt - that simple.
Also, they often provide several different alternatives as to how a plot mkight go like the news that Zainab is leaving. Again, if you read properly rather than just quickly scanning, it is clear that they are just floating theories and not actually lying.
Yes I noticed this. I'm not even on twitter but could still click on the link on the IS website and could see people comments asking why they don't do a Monday preview of Tues cover anymore but from what I could see , IS just completely ignored them and never gave an answer! Very nice eh:rolleyes:!
But having said that, I do agree IS is the best of the 3 soap mags. Even though I know what to expect from All About Soap and Soaplife covers, I still cringe everytime I see them and know that the MAIN cover 'story' just isn't gonna happen and only the tiny photo in the corner that DOESN'T have a ? at the end of the headline is the only genuine story!!:o lol
Anything on Shirley? I was going to get a copy today but it was already sold out. Ah well, my loss.
Also, ii know from being keft waiting at the pub for many hours that they often run printing deadlines very close to the wire. Sometimes the mags really do come off the press and get sent out on the lorrys in the early hours of the Tuesday morning. Of course they'll have a cooy of the cover on desktop but they are unlikely to publish it online and until they know the hard copy is ready, proof checked and will actually hit the shelves the next day rather than Wednesday.
Hope that helps.

Hmm, wonder who?
Interesting cover. "Kirsty Murdered?".
Kirsty is in no spoilers at all beyond the wedding.
I cant believe Max chooses Kirsty!
I wonder if Kirsty throws herself down the stairs and claims Tys done it to her! I hope to god we're not going to have another free the Wetherfield one!
They do it on a Tuesday now.
Doubt it they're just about to do that in Hollyoaks with Will/Texas so unlikely
I'm wondering if Kirsty will claim Tyrone's been abusing her though, then again they only did that a little while ago with Tracey/Charlie didn't they?
