The Escape is on...

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (11th-15th November 2019)

It was a big week for Ste as he finally took his first steps towards leaving the far right group. At the end of last week, we saw Ste throw a note begging for help over the Maalik’s fence. The note was found by Azim, who went out to speak to Ste through the fence and agreed to try and help him. After some persuading, Azim was able to get Leela and Peri on board and, together, they arranged to meet with Ste in The Dog car park to take him to speak to someone from Prevent. As Jonny and Stuart left the house to meet with a rival gang, Ste looked to have found a way to escape. However, young Sid had been left in charge, and was under strict instructions not to let Ste out of his sight. Luckily for Ste, Sid had arranged a date with Juliet and it didn’t take Ste much time at all to convince the youngster that he would be fine on his own. Upon Sid’s departure, Ste prepared to leave, however, he was dismayed to discover that he was locked in. However, he was able to escape and made his way to The Dog, where he was spotted by Sid getting into a car with Leela and Peri...

Ste was taken to speak with a ‘Prevent’ officer and it was arranged that he would leave the village for Newcastle. However, this couldn’t happen right away, and in the meantime, Ste was instructed to return home and carry on as ‘normal’ with Stuart and Jonny. Ste was much happier as he returned home, however, his secret was discovered when Juliet turned up at the house and Stuart and Jonny realised that Ste had been out. Furious that Sid had disobeyed him, Stuart punched his son before turning on Ste and demanding to know where he had been. Despite initially insisting that he’d stayed indoors, Ste eventually told Stuart and Jonny that Leela had taken him to Mike’s to see Leah and Lucas. The pair appeared to be satisfied with Ste’s excuse and were soon heading off again to meet with the rival gang, with Stuart taking a knife from the kitchen drawer on his way. Later, Peri was shocked when a seriously injured man was brought into the hospital after a gang fight in town, and Johnny later arrived back home also having been stabbed. With Stuart insisting that Jonny refrain from getting medical attention for his wound, Jonny told Ste that he wanted out...

The following day, Jonny began pressing Ste for information about the escape he knew he was planning, but Ste refused to be drawn in and insisted that there was no escape plan. However, Jonny continued to push Ste and he eventually confessed that he was off to Newcastle and that Jonny could come with him. Not only that, but Ste admitted that he’d been stealing money from Stuart to fund his escape. Later, Ste and Azim came face to face for the first time and the pair ended up kissing when Azim offered him his support. However, back in the house, Jonny informed Stuart about Ste’s plan to escape. Yep, Jonny was lying and it looks like Ste’s now in grave danger...

Meanwhile, preparations for Sami and Sinead’s wedding were well underway, despite Misbah having to jet off to care for her sick Mother and the bride-to-be being missing in action. Yasmine was feeling left out as Sami, Azim and Imran larked about and headed off to meet with Finn. Imran was later shocked when he realised who his Sister was hanging out with, but he agreed to keep quiet when he realised how much Finn’s friendship meant to her. However, their friendship soon hit a Sami shaped bump in the road when Edward informed him that Yasmine and Finn were getting close. Understandably horrified that his Sister was spending time with a convicted rapist, Sami ordered them to stop seeing each other, leading to Yasmine telling him that she wasn’t coming to the wedding if she couldn’t be friends with Finn...

Elsewhere this week, Mercedes remained in a coma following the shooting whilst Grace begged James to help get Liam released from custody. Finally, Darren struggled to hide his jealousy when Mandy allowed Luke to spend some time with DJ.

Hollyoaks: Jonny's Fake Name

Clifftop Showdown, Caught on Camera and an Impromptu Proposal!

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (18th-22nd November 2019)

It was the end of Stuart and Jonny this week as Ste finally managed to escape from the far right group. When Jonny told Ste that Stuart was onto their escape plan, he said that they would have to leave there and then. But little did Ste know that Jonny was lying to him, and he lead him straight to a car being driven by Stuart. However, Jonny was horrified to realise that Stuart had brought Sid along and grabbed the car keys from Stuart’s hand, telling him he didn’t think Sid should see what they were planning. As Jonny and Stuart argued, Ste grabbed the keys and made a run for it. Sid also made his escape and headed to The Hutch, where everyone was gathered for Sami and Sinead’s wedding, to beg for help. Leela, Peri, Sami and Sid went off in search of Ste, but Sami soon found himself in grave danger when Stuart knocked him out and bundled him into the car. He was soon joined by Ste when Jonny managed to track him down whilst Leela, Azim, Peri and Sid could only watch on in horror and Sami and Ste were driven away...

The group gave chase and eventually caught up with Stuart and Jonny, who had Ste cornered on a cliff edge. Realising what his Father was about to do, Sid ran at him, causing Stuart to fall backwards over the cliff. As Stuart’s body was taken away, Ste, Leela, Azim, Peri and Sami all spoke up for Sid and insisted that Stuart’s death had been an accident. Whilst Jonny may have been prepared to fight Sid’s corner before, with Stuart dead, he wasn’t willing to do so now, and spitefully told the police that Sid had deliberately pushed Stuart. Sid was arrested but soon released once the police were satisfied that Stuart’s death had been an accident. Jonny, however, wasn’t so lucky and he found himself arrested for Ste’s kidnapping. 

Relieved that his ordeal was finally over, Ste did what Ste does best, and hurtled full speed ahead into a new relationship. However, after spending the night with Ste, Azim was freaked out to catch a glimpse of his tattoo and told him he didn’t think they should see each other any more. Ste was later dealt another blow when Martine gave him an ear bashing in the shop and refused to serve him whilst Yasmine also gave him a piece of her mind when the pair came face to face. Realising he needed time away to sort himself out, Ste contacted the ‘Prevent’ officer he’d spoken to last week and left the village for Newcastle.

Meanwhile, Mandy was horrified when some unicorn cake monstrosity turned up at the restaurant for Sami and Sinead’s wedding. Not realising that it wasn’t a mistake and that Sinead just really loved unicorns, Mandy sent Darren and Nancy off to bake a replacement round at the Osborne’s. As Darren and Nancy got to work, Charlie was busy recording himself gaming in the living room. Of course, we can’t possibly have a camera set up without it capturing something it’s not meant to and it didn’t take long for Charlie to discover what had gone on between Darren and Nancy in the tunnels a few weeks back. Darren was horrified when Charlie confronted him with the information and begged him to keep quiet. An upset Charlie reluctantly agreed, but made it quite clear to Darren that he was only doing so for the sake of Mandy and the other kids before telling him that Luke would be a better Father to DJ than he could ever be...

Later, Darren was left furious when he overheard Luke joking with Cindy and Mandy that he was going to change DJ’s name to Luke Junior. With Charlie’s words ringing in his ears, Darren, punched him, knocking him out cold. As Luke took a while to come round, Mandy and Cindy insisted that Darren take him to get checked out at the hospital. However, Luke got more than he bargained for when his brain scan showed some abnormalities due to a pre existing condition and he was told he would need to come back in for more tests. In order to take his mind of things, Luke ended the week by proposing to Cindy, who was over the moon! 

In other news this week, Sami was devastated when Sinead failed to turn up to their wedding whilst Sienna was also dealt a blow when Ollie told her he wanted to keep his and Brooke’s baby. Finally, Marnie decided to buy The Teahouse, but was devastated to discover that someone had beaten her to it. Luckily for her, that someone was James! 

This Week’s Cast:

Azim, Brody, Brooke, Charlie, Cindy, Darren, Diane, DJ, Edward, Finn, Imran, Jack, James, Jonny, Kyle, Leela, Liberty, Luke, Mandy, Marnie, Martine, Nancy, Oliver, Peri, Sami, Scott, Sid, Sienna, Stuart, Tom and Yasmine.

Who Shot Mercedes McQueen?

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (4th-8th November 2019)

It was time for Hollyoaks latest ‘whodunnit’ this week as someone tried to do us all a favour and kill Mercedes McQueen. The action unfolded as the village came together for Harry’s funeral and whilst everybody headed to the church, Grace was busy trying to find out the identity of the hit and run driver. With Joel having told her last week that the culprit lay close to home, Grace was convinced that it was Liam. When confronted, Liam admitted that, although he’d been present, Mercedes had been driving. Armed with her culprit and a recorded confession (which I can’t remember how she got hold of) Grace transformed herself into the Grace Black of old and headed to Harry’s wake...

Harry’s wake was underway at The Dog when Grace took to the mic and played the confession to the shocked mourners. Not only that, but Mercedes had to contend with everyone believing that she’d killed Harry to keep him quiet about her role in the hit and run. Sylver surprised Mercedes by taking the news about the hit and run well. However, he was left devastated by Grace’s claims that Mercedes had been sleeping with Liam. Mercedes swore on Bobby’s life that she hadn’t cheated and begged Sylver to run away with her. 

Outside the pub, James was having trouble coming to terms with events, and told Grace that she should have come to him before confronting Mercedes. The police were soon on the scene, but in true Hollyoaks fashion, proved themselves to be absolutely useless as they failed to track down their culprit. As Mercedes and Sylver prepared to leave the village, they were stopped in their tracks by Brooke, who had been unsettled by the police presence.  Not wanting to be held up any further, Mercedes told Brooke that she and Sylver were going on holiday, leading to Brooke bringing up Mercedes recent abortion, unaware that Sylver did not know. Sylver was heartbroken by the revelation and refused to leave the village. With nothing to lose, Mercedes headed back to the pub and was furious to hear the mourners bitching about her. Mercedes pointed out what hypocrites they were before taking the keys to The Loft from Grace and heading over there for a coke fuelled party for one.

The following morning, Mercedes had failed to come home and the police were still on the hunt for her. Knowing that she’d gone to The Loft, Goldie headed round there but was left horrified when she discovered Mercedes lying unconscious on the dance floor, having been shot. But who could have done such a thing? Official suspects are Goldie, Breda, James, Diane, Liam, Grace and Joel. Grace and Sylver claimed to be in bed together at the time of the shooting whilst Marnie had been planning to drug James to prevent him from leaving the house at the same time. But of course, this is Hollyoaks, so we surely cannot rule them out just yet. The police started the investigation by arresting Liam after finding a gun in his car. But did he do it? 

Elsewhere this week, The Maalik’s prepared to return home whilst Yasmine found an unlikely friend in Finn. Finally, Ste was devastated to learn of Harry’s death and was then dealt a bigger blow when Diane ordered him to stay away from the funeral. Fed up with being kept under lock and key by Stuart and Jonny, Ste threw a letter begging for help over the Maalik’s fence. 

5 Things We Learned This Week:

1. The residents of Hollyoaks will turn a blind eye to many crimes, but they’ll draw the line as racism. With no one wanting to dine at The Teahouse anymore, Stuart prepared to put the business on the market. Nice to know that the good people of Hollyoaks do have some sort of moral compass, even if they don’t show it very often.

2. It amazing what a bit of make up and having something to get riled up about can do! Having found out that Mercedes had left her for dead, Grace got herself dolled up before ditching her crutch and heading off to have it out with Mercedes. Amazing how the crutch was no longer needed from that point on and she was back to walking perfectly! 

3. If the Hollyoaks police force can’t find you straight away, they will give up and go home. How was Mercedes able to swan right back into the pub and then head to The Loft despite the fact that the police were looking for her?

4. The residents of Hollyoaks really cared about Harry. It was nice to see so many characters turn up at Harry’s funeral. They may not all have had dialogue, but it was a nice touch to see them sitting there in the background. What a shame that Harry’s own Mother couldn’t have shown the same courtesy! Maybe Peter Kay doesn’t drive as far out as Chester?

5. Nana cannot believe that someone would want to kill Mercedes. I can...
