Former Dynasty star Joan Collins has lots in common with her alter-ego Alexis Morrell. While Alexis marries two much younger husbands following two failed marriages to older men, so too did Collins. While Joan has struck out with three failed marriages to older or similarly-aged men (Maxwell Reed, Anthony Newley and Ron Kass), she’s gone down the younger route for her fourth and fifth marriages.

Currently starring on new primetime…

How do you know which brow shape is right for you? Follow our how-to guide to fi nd the perfect brows for your face Heart-shaped face Like Reese Witherspoon, to soften the chin, go for a soft, rounded brow with a low arch to create a natural look. Keep the brows well-groomed (never bushy) to balance the smaller bottom half of the face. Round face Creating a look to elongate the face is the key. High, arched, angular brows like Drew Barrymore’s lengthen the visage and define bone structure. Avoid round brows and over-plucking. Diamond face Curved brows soften the angles of a diamond-shaped face and, like Halle Berry, make the centre of the face appear less wide. Square face Square faces like Demi Moore’s typically draw attention to the…

We swooned over Eric Dane as Dr Mark ‘McSteamy’ Sloan on Grey’s Anatomy. Now three years after hanging up his stethoscope, the 42 year-old actor has been lighting up the small screen again, this time as Captain Tom Chandler in the tough ‘boys’ own’ navy epic, The Last Ship. Eric took time out from his hectic filming schedule to chat to TV Soap. What leadership qualities do you share with Captain Chandler? Are you also fair and decisive? I’d like to think so, but again I’m playing a character, and I think Tom Chandler possesses a lot of qualities that I don’t have.

Seven drama Home And Away has experienced a substantial drop in ratings in 2015, down approximately 140,000 viewers per episode on last year. While the long-running soap has been a regular top 10 ratings fixture in previous years, 2015 (OzTAM) figures have shown declining audience numbers in a worrying trend for Seven. Is the ratings drop a result of poor lead-in figures from Seven News, a result of more viewers tuning in to Summer Bay on digital platforms, or the departure of several of the show’s stars? Alternatively, could this be a reflection of the impact of streaming services like Netflix, Stan and Presto? Time will tell.…
